PricewaterhouseCoopers Rep to Speak
3 comments:
thank you for you to make me learn more,thank you∩0∩ReplyDelete
It is good to see one of the Big Six talking about personal branding. Branding is being taken more seriously in the professional world. A colleague of mine could not get an interview with a major bank. Finally, he sent the managing director a link to his Twitter account. Presumably, when the MD saw that he had some well-connected people following him, he was given an interview and the job. I see social media as an invaluable tool to communicate who and what you know without coming off as an immodest braggart. I thought my friend's experience was worth sharing. All the best in the job market – it is picking up nicely!ReplyDelete
I write extensively on how the current economic and regulatory events affect the investment banking employment marketplace. Feel free to visit my blog:http://www.mergersandacquisitionsjobs.org

I think that this would have been an interesting talk. It is a shame that this blog hasn't been updated to let us know how it went.ReplyDelete

Lenovo announces X220 and X220 Tablet with Sandy Bridge
Less than 24 hours after details of its revamped ThinkPad X Series with Sandy Bridge leaked out, Lenovo officially announced the X220 and X220 Tablet.
John Morris and Sean Portnoy deliver straight talk about notebook and desktop computers.
John Morris is a former executive editor at CNET Networks and senior editor at PC Magazine.
Sean Portnoy is a former executive editor at Computer Shopper magazine and editor at CNET Networks.
Less than 24 hours after details of its revamped ThinkPad X Series with Sandy Bridge leaked out, Lenovo officially announced the X220 and X220 Tablet.
AMD has finally launched the long-anticipated followup to its Radeon HD 5970, its dual-GPU monster graphics card. Like its predecessor, the new Radeon HD 6990, code-named Antilles, combines two GPUs in a single package, and the result is the fastest graphics card you can buy.
The first Sandy Bridge chips were quad-cores for high-end desktops and larger laptops. With a design flaw fixed, it now it looks like the mainstream dual-core laptops are ready to roll.
Asetek has lately pushed its component-cooling prowess towards retail partnerships with companies like Antec and Corsair, along with providing the liquid-cooling solutions for gaming PC makers, including Asus and Dell Alienware. But the company has just announced that it will be bringing its WaterChill family of products back to the marketplace.
Seagate new Barracuda XT isn't the first internal hard drive to reach the 3TB plateau, but it does make it easier to access all of that storage if you are still using Windows XP or have a system with a PC BIOS controller.The problem for those with such legacy technology is that they don't natively support storage beyond 2.
In the now lengthy campaign for solid-state drives to replace hard drives as the storage tech of choice in desktops, Intel and OCZ hope they have breakthrough products with their latest lines of SSDs, the SSD 510 and Vertex 3 (pictured above), respectively.Both have native support for SATA 6Gbps, which helps propel their read/write speeds to levels well ahead of most consumer SSDs.
The trend may be toward thinner, lighter laptops and tablet PCs, but don't tell that to Maingear. The boutique PC builder is going bigger and brawnier with its new Titan desktop-replacement notebook, which packs a 17.
Some svelte notebooks, like the HP Envy 13 and Dell XPS 14, have recently bit the dust, but Sony is not only carrying on with its Vaio S laptop, but also sprucing it up.The new 3.
Years ago, Apple championed FireWire as its interface technology of choice, to some success (at least until USB 2.0 overwhelmed it).
While Intel is still the king of CPUs, chief competitor AMD can't ignore an opportunity to take advantage of a misstep by its rival. With Intel still smarting from the chipset flaw that is marring the rollout of its new Sandy Bridge processors, AMD announced a new marketing campaign that takes a swipe with its tagline.

Bryan Fischer Is Inadvertently Making Sense: 'There Are Consequences For Making A Foolish Declaration'
As we have noted several times before, Bryan Fischer is a lot of things, but self-aware is not one of them and he continues to demonstrate this fact regularly on his radio program, as he did once again today.
Fischer spent part of a segment discussing the fact that Dan Haseltine, lead singer of the Christian rock band Jars of Clay, had announced his support for gay marriage. In response to this announcement, Fischer said, some Christian radio stations have begun boycotting the band and refusing to play their songs while some fans have deleted their albums from the music libraries.
Haseltine, not surprisingly, does not appreciate such responses, but Fischer was entirely unsympathetic, declaring (approximately 5:00 in) that it was because "you are rejecting the authority of the word of God and maybe Christians have a problem with that."
"If you want to do that, that's fine" Fischer added, "but then don't complain when there are consequences for making a foolish declaration like that":
For once, we completely agree with Fischer! As we always say, the flipside of the First Amendment is that while everyone is free to say whatever they believe, that doesn't mean that they are also exempt from suffering the consequences of voicing those beliefs.
Of course, it is usually the Religious Right that loudly screams "persecution" anytime someone that they agree with actually suffers consequences for making foolish declarations ... like when Bryan Fischer said that A&E's decision to suspend Phil Robertson for making anti-gay comments was proof that Christians were being persecuted for refusing to accept the Mark of the Beast:
When Christian radio stations refuse to play Haseltine's music, that is just the "consequences" of his "foolish declaration," according to Fischer.
But when A&E temporarily suspended Robertson for his "foolish declaration," Fischer went on and on about how Christians were being oppressed, persecuted, and prohibited from engaging in commerce.

"San Pancho Treasure"
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at this unique, artistically appointed, centrally located hotel in the heart of San Pancho (San Francisco), a town located about 45 miles north of Puerto Vallarta. Our stay included a daily breakfast of fresh fruit topped with yogurt, granola and honey ("cup of life") and really great coffee. We ordered […] fresh baked scones or pancakes that were delicious. Bistro, the popular onsite restaurant,serves outstanding organic meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations might be needed for dinner. We highly recommend this boutique hotel and restaurant and getting there is easy. If you're coming from Puerto Vallarta, for a reasonable fare, you may catch a public bus across the street from the harbor where the cruise ships arrive and be in San Pancho approximately an hour later.

"Cielo Rojo the place to stay"

"Great hotel!"
Staff was excellent. Room was clean and beautiful with local feel. The organic bistro serves delicious food. Our family had a wonderful experience. We only stayed one night because we had reservations at a major resort. I wish I would have booked my whole week at Cielo Rojo. I had a great experience and plan on returning.

"Nice, safe hotel"
Nice quiet Inn with great food (a little pricey) but delicious. Felt very safe here. Beds were comfortable, nice showers with good water pressure. Only downside was that you couldn't get wi-fi in the rooms. Had to go out in the corridor to get online. But at least there are tables and chairs out there. Oh, and and waking up occasionally to a dog barking […] nearby in the middle of the night. The staff were all very nice and helpful, and spoke English. We would return to this hotel and recommend.

"My stay at Hotel Cielo Rojo in San Pancho, Mexico"
Cielo Rojo is located in the heart of San Pancho. They provided bikes that I could borrow (did not charge for the bikes.) I enjoyed touring the beach and the town. They let me use the phone anytime, had excellent food in the restaurant; they were extremely friendly. Everyone spoke English very well and I had fun practicing my Spanish with them as well. […] The room and hotel are very quaint and nice. I had my own bathroom and they even provided me with good clean drinking water. I was impressed with the quality of service. I will tell my friends about them and would love to stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

This place is a gem in the little village of San Pancho. Some of the best Mexican food we've ever had. All organic and delicious. Fresh baked breads and pastries, the fish is fabulous and the service is wonderful. Will definitely go back!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Warm hospitality, beautiful setting"
We spent 8 nights at Cielo Rojo, and found it a pleasurable experience in every way. We were not the easiest of guests because of the special needs of my husband who has a bad back. Every one of the staff, from managers to waiters to housekeepers to the excellent chef went out of their way to make our stay there as comfortable as possible. They were […] creative and caring, finding a kind of chair my husband could sit in, providing ice on numerous occasions as well as freezing our re-usable cold pack, giving us advice about such things as how to get to other towns, where to get our hair cut, the weather, answering our many questions with patience and charm. The food was healthy and delicious, and I especially recommend the beautifully cut and presented fruit at breakfast and the whole grain toast. We happily recommend Cielo Rojo to anyone wishing for a beautiful small hotel full of art and color, and wonderful people. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Nice, friendly place!"
I enjoyed my 5 nights here. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the restaurant has a varied menu of interesting and delicious organic food and the rooms are comfortable. My only complaints were that the toilet seat needed to be replaced and there wasn't anywhere besides the bed to sit down. Also, and this wasn't the fault of the hotel staff, my […] room was close to the hotel entrance and I was woken up several times one night when inconsiderate guests noisily came in at late hours. The location is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. Although, in some ways it would have been nice to be closer to the beach, I did enjoy being within the town so I could experience the local community and culture and not just have an isolated "resort" type experience.

This was a very nice place with a great staff. Not all speak English, but enough that you won't be left without anything. The restaurant is good but a bit pricey, though the breakfast that comes with the room is quite tasty and healthy. Our only critic would be that the beds (our bed) was quite hard and small for two if we were to stay for more than […] two nights. Our favorite restaurant was Maria's around the corner.

"charming hotel with great organic restaurant"
We had great time at the hotel and in San Pancho. Cielo Rojo is a low key place with a friendly staff and an awsome restaurant that uses fresh organic local foods. If you're looking for a big resort hotel experience then go somewhere else. It is small, about 10 rooms, and situated on a side street near the center of town. The beach is a short walk away, […] down the main drag that has many great places to eat. From nice upscale eateries to cheap street taco stands-it was all great. Very friendly with a genuine old Mexico feel. We'll be back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Wunderschönes Design - Unbrauchbar als Hotelzimmer"
Das Hotel liegt etwa 500 m vom Strand entfernt. Das äußere und innere Design ist sehr gut, alles ist sehr sauber, das Personal ist freundlich, das Essen voll auf der "Bio"-Welle. Aber dieses "schöne Museum" ist eigentlich unbrauchbar als "Hotel": es gibt keinerlei Mobiliar zur Unterbringung Ihres Kofferinhaltes oder zum Sitzen (Stuhl, Tisch). Es gibt […] nur einen einzigen Haken an der Wand, an dem Sie Hosen, Jacken, Anzüge, etc. aufhängen können und keinerlei Schränke, Schubfächer, etc. zur Aufbewahrung von Hemden, Unterwäsche, etc. Das Trocknen nasser Badesachen ist nur auf der Mauer des kleinen Duschabteils möglich. Unser ebenerdiges Zimmer für 95 US$/Nacht war etwa 10 m2 groß plus 2 m2 Dusche/WC, hatte ein Fenster direkt auf den Gehweg 50 cm vor dem Hotel, der auch dessen "Raucherecke" darstellte, ein weiteres Fenster in das nachts auch hell beleuchtete Treppenhaus, es gab keinerlei Stuhl oder Schrank.

"Disappointed. Avoid room next to reception!"
Simple hotel. Not expensive but I didn't expect a noisy room right next to the reception with only the basics included. You could hear everything happening outside the room and everyone talking in the reception. Not even anywhere to hang clothes in the room! When I asked to change rooms they first said that they were full. The next day they said that […] I could change but given the price I paid I would have to pay more to change - I refused. Overall very disappointed. I had reserved 4 nights. I only stayed two. I lost the money I paid for the other two nights but it was worth it to move to a much more comfortable hotel.

Hotel Cielo Rojo is a gem. You will be surprised at the attention to details in the good 100% cotton sheets, good pillows and designer accents in cushions and curtains. Fine original art graces the entire hotel. The suites have extra touches like John Robshaw bedding and bath robes. Each room has hand made soap and is cleaned only with natural products. There is no smoking in this hotel and for a bonus you have the best healthy gourmet Bistro in the courtyard. Biusstro Organico boasts the best breakfast lunch and dinners with special events throughout the year. The wines and artisan tequilas are like no other...I love Hotel Cielo Rojo and the Pueblo, San Pancho for an easy going stay, with a great beach and exquisite sunsets, the Art walk and cultural events and good shopping. It's become an annual stop for me in my travels South to Guatemala.

"Gorgeous hotel, incredible food, superb shopping"
03/26/14 7788home Los Angeles, California
What a true gem! The most beautifully styled interiors, superb service and the very best restaurant in the area - the food is exceptional - all organic and locally sourced, created by a team in the kitchen who are extremely dedicated and creative. The chef is super talented and I hear they may open another restaurant based on the success of this one. The insider's secret is the hotel's own brand tequila. After years of research they formulated three types, all of which are outstanding. I wish I had stayed the night in one of the beautifully decorated rooms but I was staying in Sayulita nearby and arrived in the afternoon to just visit the tiny boutique I had heard about from a fashion friend in the know. I bought two gorgeous sun dresses, a handbag that I use all the time and a beautiful pair of earrings that are my absolute favourites. I met the owner, stayed for a cocktail, stayed for dinner and then she whisked me off to a local art show and charity concert in the town and had the most fun night of my entire stay! Go!!

The is a lovely small boutique hotel that is exceptionally clean. They have an eye to sustainability, and offered a water container on each landing. The landings are a great place to sit outside your room. Great attention to detail. The food is also amazing, all fresh, no GMO, healthy and put together just before your got your dish. The staff including the food service staff were all friendly AND always had smiles on their faces. The dining room was definitely an oasis. Beautiful touches throughout the hotel and dining room. Very comfortable beds and enough space for your belongings.

I stayed here with a group of fellow dental hygiene students for one month last spring during our study abroad program. We could not have asked for a more wonderful stay. The hotel is beautiful and clean and I appreciated the boutique feel. You certainly aren't in a resort- and lucky for that! The staff will get to know you by name, and you them. You will begin to feel like family, or at least I did. Tips: We stayed in the palapa room on the top floor which was great- loved the authentic feel. Wear the ear plugs (they provide you with wax ones). There is a nearby goat that is very "vocal" The food in the restaurant is incredible. We loved the breakfast! Dinner was unbelievable but a bit more expensive- and there are so many places to try in town. Just make sure you have at least one dinner there! There is a mojito on the bar list- quite possibly the best drink I have ever had A big thank you to the staff who, like I said, treated us like family. I ripped a dress the first day and a member of the staff fixed it for me- and tried to do it for free! I can't wait to return!

"The best place to bring a fa"
01/02/14 Cornelia H Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This little hotel is a gem in a gem. It's an excellently managed small oasis of style, warmth, and "sustainable" well-being in a dream-like setting: A romantic old fishing village on the lush, almost rain forest-like slopes of the south-western Mexican coast, spilling out into a perfect sandy Pacific beach cove. The village offers a mixture of authentic rural atmosphere (roosters crowing in the early morning; dogs sleeping in the midday heat) and all comfort you could wish for: Excellent restaurants, picturesque shops, and taxis, when you need them. The hotel cuisine of Cielo Rojo itself is too good to be true. For our various family members we need vegetarian, gluten-free, and for all of us preferably organic. We would never have expected this in a little Mexican village. My only regret: I forgot to buy some of the hand-crafted soap!

or anywhere else for that matter..... We stayed there for too short at the end of our holiday. The perfect little boutique hotel. The owner has an excellent eye for details. The rooms are just right down to the bottled water container that you use to get the water yourself on the exquisite landing with local artwork, open to the outdoors. Feels traditional Mexican with an eclectic modern sensibility. It is obvious the the owner loves this spot and it is reflected in her collections of art and memorabilia. Not much you could improve upon here. Perhaps a little less restricted of what is in the included in the breakfast package: jam and toast perhaps? The courtyard is soothing with some of the best food I have ever had. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It is in the heart of SanPancho but on a side street so it is quiet.

"Excellent dining"
12/02/13 Alli v Whistler, Canada
The food at Hotel Cielo Rojo is delicious, fresh and thoughtfully presented. The decor is warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly and knowledgable and they provided excellent service. I will definitely return on my next trip to San Pancho (Francisco).

"Wonderful hotel in a great town."
11/14/13 R H Seattle, Washington
We just returned home after 5 nights at Hotel Cielo Rojo. This was our second visit, and we liked it just as much as we did on our first trip in 2010. Cielo Rojo has lovely rooms, great ambiance, and delicious food in their restaurant, Bistro Organico. All of the staff are helpful, friendly, and willing to answer any questions about San Pancho. Like most of San Pancho, Cielo Rojo is only a few blocks from the beach. If you're headed to the beach, ask to borrow one of their beach umbrellas. If ambient noise keeps you from sleeping, bring earplugs. Cielo Rojo is located in the heart of San Pancho, so noise sometimes filters into your room. We enjoyed this as part of the atmosphere. A small, low-key, beach town near busy Sayulita, San Pancho has a wide, almost empty beach and beautiful sunsets. Nearly everyone in town gathers at the beach to watch the spectacular sunsets. The waves at San Pancho's beach can be large, so it might not be the best spot for families with children. But the town is very friendly, with lots of inexpensive restaurants.
Overall Rating
"Great staff and amazing food"
11/10/13 Kalamaya Carbondale, Colorado
The staff here are friendly and helpful in giving out recommendations on other places to eat and things to do. The included breakfast was perfect to start each day. We had dinner here one night and it didn't disappoint. They offer beach cruisers to bike around town and down to the beach. It is a little noisy early and late - but it's Mexico! We'd definitely come back again.

On their honeymoon, the blonde bride slipped into a sexy nightie and with great anticipation,
then crawled into bed, only to find her husband had settled down on the couch.
When she asked him why he was apparently not going to make love to her, he replied, ' It's Lent.'
In tears, she sobbed, ' Well, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!
'Who did you lend it to, and for how long?
Next week I have a physical on Friday and I have to take a forklift truck (sorry I like to use formal english when possible) course on Tuesday. I don't know which one I dread more.
I wasn't going to bore you good people with another trivial blog about "mini-me" (my pet name for the cyst). I got 143 pts yesterday ( a personal high I think- it helped that I got both the 25 points for being on 30 days and 10 points for 100 th bulletin board post) .I had hoped to get to 150 but with NO EMAILS from SPARKPEOPLE (YOU LISTENING GUYS??) coupled with NO NEW QUIZZES it makes it tough to make any headway. I think they were trying to make it harder to get points or so it feels.
Apparently my friend got his info wrong he is supposedly one of the better surgeons, Sadly enough I don't know if I can WAIT that long- I see my GP on March 2 for my physical I think I am going to press him into doing it - I don't care at this point I feel like taking one of my late Dads hunting knives to it that's HOW sick I am of bumping it at work. I thought I was going to black out on Friday once.
Yeah I heard this guy is a bit of a hack - I don't understand it the politicians are always talking about how great they are managing the health care system (we have "universal" health care up here - of course that doesn't stop some of the greedy bastards from extra billing!!) I think I am going to be taking a day off this week and pleading my case to my GP as he did NOT refer me to this last idiot.
All I know is its frustrating, one of the nurses at the plasma clinic suggested a different one I could try (except he's in the SAME office as Dr Stupid).

To develop long term consistent community projects focused on issues of mental health, aging, and physical rehabilitation.
As the CNS is an interdisciplinary program, graduate students (as well as undergraduate students) which are spread out over campus, took it upon themselves to create an outlet through which to interact with each other, the department and the Kingston community in a social and purposeful manner.
On Friday October 25th we had an outreach recruitment lunch. Thanks to everyone who came out to learn about all of our different programs. If you missed the meeting and would like to learn more, please feel free to contact the Centre for Neuroscience Studies administrative offices. They will be happy to point you in the right direction.
We have regular monthly meetings to discuss new and ongoing outreach in the neuroscience outreach program. If you are interested in volunteering or joining our team, please email Kelly Moore at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Hi folks,
The world has lost a great entertainer and a wholly original genius. Robin Williams was without peer.
I never had the good fortune to meet him personally, but I felt I almost knew him because of the dozens of stories my friend Lisa Lieberman Doctor told me about him. Lisa was the person he chose to head up his production company, Blue Wolf Productions, and she acquired dozens of scripts for him, including MRS. DOUBTFIRE. In fact, one of the first stories she told me about him was how they acquired that product.
Lisa said that she turned down the script. It just wasn't that well-written, in her opinion. However, Robin chose to override her rejection of it—which he could because he was… well, the boss… It wasn't the script he liked, Lisa said, but the concept. She told me that scarcely any of the original script made it to the screen. She said Robin improvised virtually all of it.
She told me a funny story that happened on the first day of principle photography on the set of MRS. DOUBTFIRE. When the cameras begin rolling, large sums of money are being expended, and it's extremely important nothing slow up the shooting.
Well, Lisa said, everyone on the set was worried when Robin didn't appear immediately. True, it took several hours to get him into costume and one of the main problems was that Robin was an extremely hirsute man. She said he had hair everywhere and for the scenes he appeared as Mrs. Doubtfire, it took several hours to remove the hair from his shoulders, back, arms, legs… everywhere. His beard was particularly tough and extremely difficult to render smooth.
Anyway, the tension was rising as he failed to appear on the set, everyone getting more and more nervous, and then, all of a sudden, he was in Lisa's office, in full costume, and with a stricken look on his face. "Lisa," he said, "I'm supposed to go on camera right now but I've got a big problem." "What?" she said, imagining all kinds of horrible scenarios. "Well," Robin said. "I don't know what to do. I've got to go on… and I've got a woody."
Now, Lisa is a tiny Jewish woman and I could just imagine her looking up at this large man, dressed in a dress, and lifting her hands helplessly, and saying, "Uh…what exactly do you want me to do, Robin?" And then he laughed and all the tension went out of the room, and the first day of principle photography went well.
Over the years of our friendship, Lisa has told me literally dozens and dozens of stories about Robin. Nearly every one of them made me laugh. Some made me sad. All were stories that couldn't be told about any other person. Robin Williams was truly a genius, truly a Renaissance man. A true original and a national treasure.
He'll be sorely missed.
Blue skies,

Study could clear way for park in Port Norfolk
In a small step forward for a blighted Port Norfolk lot, state conservation officials unveiled preliminary findings this week that chemical levels in the waterfront soil are lower than expected.
The findings put the fenced-off 14-acre area on track to be finally turned into a massive neighborhood waterfront park, a project nearly 30 years in the making.
"It's an understatement to say this is a long time coming," said Maureen Feeney, District 3 councillor, who attended the meeting after Mayor Thomas Menino's state of the city address. Read more
City to launch anti-litter push in Codman, Mattapan
Several Dorchester and Mattapan locales could pick themselves up in a new pilot program slated to start this spring. An anti-litter campaign is in the works that would encourage storeowners to keep it clean, train young children to give a hoot and blitz the area with advertising.
"Much of it is going to be education," said Richard Heath, an organizer for the Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation (NDC) who helped city officials design the program. Read more
Courthouse round-up: Convict pleads guilty to 1995 murder
Avoiding a second attempt at a trial, a former Dorchester man pled guilty this week to a 1995 murder, earning a 9 to 10 year prison sentence that will run simultaneously with his 27-year sentence for another murder.
John Tibbs, 36, was sentenced in Suffolk Superior Court Tuesday by Judge Peter Lauriat. The first trial, centering on the slaying of 20-year-old Tennyson "Tenny" Drakes, ended in a deadlocked jury in October, after three weeks of testimony. Read more
Pine Street to take control of Savin Hill elderly home
The Tuttle House, an 26-unit elderly housing facility in Savin Hill, is set to be transferred to the Pine Street Inn, New England's largest non-profit for the homeless, which plans to invest $300,000 in renovations at the site, according to members of the Tuttle House's board.
Two members of the 14-member board that currently governs the facility say its mission will stay the same was part of the deal.
"It's a place for frail elders," said Bill O'Shea, president of the board. "Things have to stay the same." Read more
UMass defends dorms at Columbia-Savin Hill
Jan. 9, 2008
In sharp exchanges with some local neighborhood activists, UMass Boston officials defended their plans to build dorms to house some 1,000 on-campus beds in the next ten years as part of the school's overhaul.
"We are a commuter school. We are going to continue to be a commuter school," Ellen O'Connor, the campus's vice chancellor for administration and finance, said to roughly 40 people assembled at Columbia-Savin Hill Civic Association's Monday night meeting at the Little House. Read more

Columbia Point Master Plan Task Force chosen
Mayor Thomas Menino has appointed fifteen individuals, including residents of Columbia Point and adjacent neighborhoods, business people and one transportation advocate, to a Columbia Point Master Plan Task Force.

"There was no specific delay, it was just when we were able to get it down to the mayor and have him look at it," said BRA spokesperson Jessica Shumaker. Read more
New library pushed as plus for Burke High, Grove Hall
Jan. 9, 2008
The Jeremiah E. Burke High School will break tradition as the first Boston public school to include a public branch library and community center within its footprint under a city hall plan. The new facility, to be built this year, is deemed a "national model" by Mayor Thomas Menino, who said the library will serve the needs of both the 1,200 students at the Burke as well as Grove Hall residents.

New year opens with two murders in Dot
Six days. That's how long it took for Boston to witness its first homicide of the year, a shooting on Bowdoin Street that was quickly followed by another murder the next night at a take-out Chinese restaurant on Dorchester Avenue.
Both were young black males.
Joseph Clarke, 23, of Dorchester, was shot at the intersection of Norton Street and Bowdoin Street in Sunday's early mornings hours, at about 1:49 a.m. He had been shot in the head. He was sent to Boston Medical Center and pronounced dead. Read more

City vows to get tough on cigarette ad signage
On the outside of one convenience store in Dorchester, at the corner of Adams Street and Centre Street, they spread like a rash: 23 ads for eight brands of cigarettes. The ads run from doors to windows, and around the corner to the side of the building. There are even ads partially blocked by other ads.
For Mohamed Chibou, a compliance officer in the City of Boston Tobacco Control Program, the sight is fairly common among convenience stores in areas such as Dorchester and Roxbury. Read more
Harbor School to bring new philosophy to Cleveland
The student population at Grover Cleveland Middle School on Charles Street in Fields Corner has been whittled down to its eighth graders, and when they graduate this spring, the school will cease to be. But the end of the Cleveland will be a beginning for Harbor Middle School, a pilot school based on Bowdoin Street that has been slowly claiming space in the Cleveland building since September. When the full plan is realized, it could mean a new, integrated K-12 educational choice for Dorchester parents. Read more
Dot woman vows to fight city on residency reform

Cops put squeeze on Dot Ave. 'streetwalkers'
Responding to heavy community complaints, Boston police officers from District C-11 are putting the "squeeze" on prostitutes who walk Dorchester Avenue.
"We were getting so many of them, we had to address it," said Capt. John Greland. "We depend on the community to tell us where they've seen them."
The campaign started back in October, with the district putting out extra cars. Officers have so far stopped about 82 prostitutes, working with the Suffolk County District Attorney's office to impose "stay away" orders for the areas the prostitutes have been picked up in. Read more
Reeling from car breaks in '07, cops take warnings door-to-door

Fire kills two children on Bellevue St.

Flames ripped through the blue-colored home just after midnight on Dec. 29. Twelve residents escaped, but two young children in the Zizi family-Rooben, 11, and Rebecca, 9- did not. Read more

THE Bendigo Canoe Club has bagged 10 medals at the National Marathon Championships across the Easter weekend.
Held at Lake Wendouree in Ballarat, the annual event attracted more than 200 competitors from across Australia. A small contingent of international athletes also took to the water.
The Bendigo Club had 16 paddlers take part in the event.
It was one of the strongest contingents the club has sent to the championships, which began on Saturday and finished on Sunday.
Bendigo Canoe Club president Andrew Morrall said the club was pleased to see so many paddlers travel to Ballarat to compete.
"We had a total of 16 paddlers compete over the two days over distances ranging from six kilometres for our under-12s to 31.4 kilometres for open ages," he said.
"Racing commenced on Saturday with junior doubles and senior singles selection races and concluded on Sunday with junior singles and senior doubles selection races.
"We are very proud that our paddlers brought 10 medals home from the event," he said of the championships success.
Beginner Emily Strahan-Ferrie won a gold medal in the under-12s women K2 event with her partner from Warrnambool.
Lyndell Wilcox won silver in the women's 40 K1.
Imogen Douglass won a bronze medal in the under-14 women's K2 with her Melbourne partner.
Casey Haynes won silver in the under-23 men's K1 and Rebecca Mann managed to bring home a bronze medal in the under-23 women's K1.
Chelsea Beale bagged gold in the under-12 women's K1 and sisters Cass Murphy and Kristy Packham won gold in the open women's K2.
Leigh Murphy teamed up with Matt Beale to win silver in the men's 40 K2.
Sean Jones won silver in the men's under-14 K1.
Lucas Teasdale and Ben McLean won bronze in the under-18 men's K2.
Maddy Jones was fourth in the under-16 K1 and newcomers Thomas Chisholm and Baydn Murphy paddled well in the under-12 men's K1.

Having tattoos and piercings is not unprofessional.
What's unprofessional is turning down an aspiring employee due to superficial reasons and not their skill level or experience.

The culture and people in the company are great to work with. You get real life work experience.
All the 8 hour long training classes
Dont be afraid to share your ideas and ask questions.
Many of the training classes are very long with no hands on experience which makes it hard to retain information. This is one thing that should be changes so people get more out of the training sessions.

The people I work with are great. They are very helpful, professional, and knowledgable. The converting department also provides challenges that pushed me to be creative in my solutions or setting up an experiment. Also, the tasks I was assigned were meaningful. They were important to the converting team, and I was consistently in the loop with things happening in the department.
Being a summer term, I did not really have enough time to make more of an impact. It took almost a month to learn the department and how each line works. In the last few weeks, I was able to more to give good feedback to my team.
A candidate should come prepared to do anything with my employer. There are so many different sectors to Kimberly-Clark that a lot of opportunity is available. Also, be prepared to work on something meanignful.
Traveling for work, working on projects that have meaning, working in both "staff" and at a mill for different exposures.
There is a lot of paperwork involved in doing almost anything. There are long standards for how to document things, and changes take a long time.
Don't be afraid to travel to new places short term or long term, and get experience in both staff and at a mill. You will learn a lot about the company and will be exposed to more things which will only help your career.
Hands on experience
Fast-paced environment
Helpful, outgoing collegues
I have had little to no issues with this work experience
Be yourself. KC values honest employees who are confident in theirself.
Better on-boarding organization-- a checklist of specific items to complete and bring in would have been very helpful
Everyone is nice, flexible work hours, and many different things to work on. Saftey is very important.

Be known by more people. The name is not known but the products are.

The Jenks facility at least, is very nice. It has a cafeteria as well as a small gym to exercise/workout at. Safety is a big big deal here, and it is very evident in a great way.

That I didn't take more advantage of the opportunties to learn more about the various aspects of the company.
Take advantage of how willing everyone is meet with you. Set up lots of meetings to learn about the organization. Have a short list of questions in hand, such as "tell me about your career path", "what advice do you have for me?", "what do you like most/least about KC?" ...etc
Working with a bright team that is also very welcoming and fun to work with.
The other co-ops I started with left at the end of summer. Would have like to work with them during my entire term.
Be outgoing and get involved with different aspects of the company and the community.
I was able to learn alot about my potential future as a packaging engineer. Kimberly-Clark typically hires its previous interns, so in a way my internship was like an 8-month long job interview. Each intern is assigned one or more mentor(s) that are almost always available to help offer guidance or answer questions when needed. The co-workers are very kind and friendly and treat you like a valuable member of a team. You can work remotely one many things and they offer flexible work hours, especially during the summer when they let you leave at noon on Fridays. The company offers excellent pay for an intern as well as a one-time relocation premium based on the range you are moving from to help you get moved nearby. There are numerous other opportunites while working with Kimberly-Clark to network with other business as well as learn things like lean principles and about the personal care product sector from one of Kimberly-Clark's many offered learning sessions throughout the year. They let me extend my internship from six months to eight months. They are also willing to let you
The worst thing from my internship was the final presentation they make you do to present about what you learned and what you did during your time as an intern. I already have to do something similar to this for college, so I just feel the presentation is a bit redundant - that being said, I completely understand why they expect you to do it.
I would highly reccomend Kimberly-Clark to anyone with a bachelors degree or higher. They are a great company to work for when you first get our of school with good pay and good benefits. The only things I would caution you about the company is that they are a very marketing driven company - sometimes marketers don't always ask for realistically achievable results. They also don't have a method to be promoted in-place, so you will likely have to transition from one role to another within the company to recieve a promotion which can only be done once every year and a half. The nice thing about
I think promotion policies and marketer demands are about the only things I ever hear being complained about by my co-workers. They don't promote in place, so you have to transfer from one position/role to another to climb the corporate ladder. Since this is a heavily marketing driven company, some of the demands or espectations of marketers can get a bit unrealistic at times as well.
I found this review helpful (1 others have found this review helpful)
meaningful work, great culture
I liked everything.
Kimberly Clark is a great company to work for!!!
Keep supporting interns like they are full time employees

Pendersleigh & Sons Cartography's map of Los Angeles County
Pendersleigh & Sons Cartography's bird's eye attempt at a Middle Earth style Southland map
This blog entry is about the Midtown neighborhood of Little Ethiopia. To vote for more LA neighborhoods, click here. To vote for LA County communities, click here. To vote for OC communities, click here. I was accompanied on my adventure to the hood by Aussie filmmaker, Diana Ward.
Little Ethiopia is a small, one block stretch in Midtown's Carthay district. It's situated along Fairfax between Olympic Boulevard and Whitworth Drive. It's the smallest of the Southland's' many ethnic enclaves. It exists within the borders of Carthay Square with Picfair Village to the southeast, Carthay Circle to the north, Miracle Mile to the northeast and Wilshire Vista to the east.
In recognition of you, the blog readers' votes, and in recognition of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, I headed to Koreatown for answers. While Palisades Park, New Jersey has the highest concentration of Korean-Americans in the United States and Georgia is home to the fastest-growing Korean-American population (in the US), Los Angeles is home to the largest population of Koreans and our Koreatown destroys the competition.

I need to find how many non-singular 2*2 matrices there are (mod n). These form a group G, under multiplication. Then the Fibonacci matrix generates a subgroup whose order is a factor of the order of G. The order of the subgroup is the period of divisibility by n. I am looking for a proper solution of the above statement.
closed as off-topic by Jonas Meyer, Tunk-Fey, 5xum, gekkostate, William Aug 5 at 8:26
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
I am a little puzzled by what Fibonacci matrices have to do with the problem of computing the order of the group $G_n = \operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$. (Added: To be honest I am not quite sure what "the Fibonacci matrix is", though I have in my time seen some $2 \times 2$ matrices with Fibonacci numbers as entries. Anyway, if it's just one matrix, it generates a cyclic subgroup of $G_n$, which is therefore a very small subgroup of the non-abelian group $G_n$.) As you say, your special matrices will generate some subgroup $F_n$ of $G_n$, so if you can compute the order of $F_n$ you know that the order of $G_n$ will be a multiple of the order of $F_n$. But how does that help?
Anyway, here are some hints for how to compute the order of $G_n$.
Step 1: Do the case $n = p$ is prime. Then you are just counting the number of ordered bases of a $2$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, so your first vector can be any nonzero vector and your second vector can be any vector which is not a multiple of the first vector.
Step 2: Do the case $n = p^k$ is a prime power. Here you can use the fact that an element of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^k)$ is invertible iff its determinant is a unit in $\mathbb{Z}/p^k$ iff its determinant is nonzero modulo $p$. So you just need to compute how many elements of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^k)$ reduce mod $p$ to any given element of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})$, and this is easier than it may sound.
Step 3: If $m$ and $n$ are coprime, then it follows from the Chinese Remainder Theorem that $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/mn\mathbb{Z}) \cong \operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}) \times \operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/n \mathbb{Z})$.

Britain's countryside was created and is characterised by its strong rural communities, and the Countryside Alliance is campaigning hard to ensure their future. Any number of issues threaten their survival, and we lobby to ensure that any legislation passed promotes a sustainable countryside for both those who live in rural areas and those who visit them. In this section you can read about various topical issues of interest to rural communities from policing to broadband, 4G, planning and affordable housing.
We stand alongside charities calling for change on fly grazing
Monday, 1 September 2014
The Countryside Alliance has joined forces with several other major rural and animal welfare charities, including the RSPCA, the NFU and World Horse Welfare, to launch a landmark report into the horrors of fly-grazing ahead of a parliamentary committee discussion on the issue.Read more
Mounted Police volunteers sought for rural Suffolk patrol
Monday, 18 August 2014
Rural communities in the west of Suffolk will see the first wave of special constables mounted on horseback patrolling the countryside to combat crime, the East Anglian Daily Times reported on 18th August 2014. Suffolk's police and crime commissioner Tim Passmore, who is spearheading the plan, said the horseback specials will provide reassurances to rural communities, help prevent crime by using their local knowledge to access areas deemed inaccessible to police patrol cars and improve the force's intelligence picture.Read more
Rural mobile phone users less happy with service than those in urban areas
Tuesday, 12 August 2014
The Countryside Alliance welcomes a report into mobile phone call quality that was published by Ofcom today (12 August 2014).
Rural crime cost the economy £44.5m in 2013, survey shows
Monday, 11 August 2014
Criminals are turning their attentions to the countryside because they are less likely to get caught, the new NFU Mutual Rural Crime Survey 2013 suggests.
Reporting rural crime
Thursday, 7 August 2014
If we want to tackle rural crime then we all need to work together by ensuring all incidents are reported which will ensure the Police are able to target their resources efficiently. Reporting rural crime can be done in a number of ways:
National Rural Crime Network receives Home Office funding
Tuesday, 29 July 2014
The Home Office has awarded almost £40,000 to the National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) which will look at innovative ways to reduce crime in rural areas, provide information and support for rural communities and share best practice.
Mobile phones are essential to modern rural life, study shows
Tuesday, 22 July 2014
A study for Ofcom has revealed today (22 July) that good mobile phone reception and the ability to use your phone or tablet to access the internet are essential to modern rural life.
Fly grazing Parliamentary debate welcomed
Thursday, 17 July 2014
The Countryside Alliance is among a powerful coalition of equine welfare charities and countryside organisations that has welcomed a parliamentary debate of solutions to the illegal fly grazing of horses through a Private Members Bill which was launched in the House of Commons on Tuesday (15 July).
National Rural Crime Network (NRCN)
Friday, 4 July 2014
The National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) has now been formally set up and has the support of 28 Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs). It is being chaired by the PCC from North Yorkshire, Julie Mulligan, and the Vice-Chair is Tim Passmore, PCC for Suffolk. The constitution allows six PCCs on the executive committee and four non PCC representatives. The Countryside Alliance is sitting on the Executive Committee as one of the four non PCC representatives. Over the summer we will be compiling a list of rural crime priorities which will shape the work programme of the Network. Fly-grazing, heritage crime and general anti-social behaviour are on that list and we would welcome your suggestions too. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com raising any issues you feel the National Rural Crime Network should be prioritising.
Fly Grazing – Can you help?
Wednesday, 25 June 2014
There is now widespread recognition of a growing horse crisis in Britain. In particular the problem caused to owners of land by the fly grazing of horses. Not only is this potentially hugely expensive for those whose land is used for illegal grazing but it is also extremely damaging in terms of horse welfare. There is now agreement across a wide range of organisations including World Horse Welfare, the British Horse Society, NFU, CLA, RSPCA and the Countryside Alliance that action needs to be taken and various changes made to the law which would make it easier to tackle this problem in a way which protects horse welfare and reduces the cost to land owners and local authorities. So far DEFRA have argued that the existing law is adequate. We do not agree and the recent Control of Horses (Wales) Act 2014 is already showing what could be achieved in England. Read on to find out how you can help.Read more

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

I know it feels like the Vikings are often the brunt of poor officiating, but it's just an illusion.
Every team's fans feel that way and every team gets their fair share of bad calls.
I do feel like the Dugan tripping call against the Steelers was blown and so was Grant fumble to open yesterday's game.
At the same time, I thought the headbutt on Jolly that extended our drive was pretty weak.
I felt "dirty" for the team after that score.
Yeah, the points are nice, but that's not how you want to get them.
You want to feel as if they were earned.
Still, I figure we lost 7 on the first blown call and gained 4 on the second, so it was still a net loss and didn't turn the game significantly in our favor.
The non-call on the face mask was a mistake too, but it was inconsequential for the outcome of the game--which is not to suggest it was inconsequential for Berrian's health and safety.
Why don't the refs have someone watching the TV feed like fans. Maybe they'd see some things... Just an idea to start convo over..Trying to bring rationale to an irrational site

Speaking as someone who was a referee for many years, we are human.
Consistently interpreting rules and "spirit of the game" rules at full speed is tough, especially with so many very close, gray area happenings all game.
You want to consistently apply the rules; also avoid make up calls and tit-for-tat stuff that also denegrates the integrity of the game.
Refs know when they blow a call.
Trust me.
I don't know of many fellow refs who hated a team or who would ever outright blow something because of favoritism.
People that have a ref's disposition generally search for right and equitable calls by nature.
They want to have a "good game" too.
Once, I ended up centering a match between my old school and our arch enemy I used to play against for a long time.
Didn't matter, my role is to make that game fair and safe for the players by enforcing rules.
People howled when I didn't give my old team an edge.
Oh well.
I also scored a 98% on that match as I found out later it was being observed.
Yes, there are a few bad apples, but usually they get culled out over time.
In the big leagues with the amount of review they get, I doubt they can carry an agenda very long before being sent back to athletic association reffing.
I reffed flag football in the service and was judge for gymnastic meets throughout ND.
No, you are never a popular person, but calls are made as seen.
They should not be open for interpertation by outside elements and nutrality is the key element.
You will hear negative from players, coaches, and fans, but you have to have conviction in what you are seeing is right and have the courage to call it.
Are there bad calls, sure.
However, the refs and umps keep a violent game from becoming a gang war and keeps people safe.

Hate may have been a strong word but i think the refs watch some teams more then others and dont give them the benefit of the doubt. Look at AD a few weeks ago against the pack. His forward momentum was stopped, yet when the ball was stripped it was called a fumble. Same EXACT thing happened to Grant yesterday but the play was called dead.
Forward progress is a nice way to cover your ass as a ref and save the Vikes a challenge they couldn't win, but it seems incredibly more probable watching the replay that it was not what the ref originally saw.
The ref saw Grant go down and thought he still had the ball.
Once that whistle blew, even though the ball was already out, the Vikes were not going to get possession because of the way the rules are set up.
It's just a missed play because the ref didn't see it right and so blew the whistle early.
It happens.
Look at the hit hit Ray Edwards got called for as being a late hit and then look at the shot one of the pack (kaufmen i think) hit farve with an there was no call. The guy even held his hands up after the hit like saying he was trying to pull up.
And that the Pack got away with one.
But the Vikes got away with at least one earlier as well when someone went to the head on a hit on Rodgers.
These are just a couple examples about a team we played twice this year. Sure seems like the refs have it in for the Vikes and are willing to give the pack the benefit of the doubt.
We remember and talk about it when the Vikes get jobbed, but very rarely when it happens to the opponent.
The refs had a bad game last night in my opinion, and maybe it benefited the Packers more than the Vikes.
But even if that is the case it is hard for me to believe that it is anything other than simply a matter of chance that calls favor the other team.When the age of the Vikings came to a close, they must have sensed it. Probably, they gathered together one evening, slapped each other on the back and said, "Hey, good job." - Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]

Re: Honest question....do the Refs hate us?
anyone remember the home game vs detriot last year.
I was sick leaving that game after they won, because it was one of the worst calls I have ever seen, and it totally gave us the game.
So yea, bad calls have helped us too.
I dont think the refs hate us, I just think that a lot of them are downright incompetent, and need to be replaced with full time, year round refs.

If you draw your attention to the white board.
Here is the marathon which is supposed to be the football games.
Then Z talked about how they had faster shoes.
Those shoes are supposed to mean people whining about refs and how it doesn't really matter.
And boom, that's a TD.
Re: Honest question....do the Refs hate us?
You have to learn to live with the good and the bad calls. We get some we lose some. I do agree that some teams and even some players get hawked on by officials but that is usually a by product of the way they play.
The only thing apart from the late hit on Favre that wasn't called that bothered me on Sunday was one officials reaction to the Robison fumble, he seemed to react like it was a personal triumph to ge the first down, he indicated the same way a player does when he runs or catches a ball for the 1st down on a 3rd and long situation.
Bothered me all game after it happenedPurple till i die

Woody's Woodlot: Taking on the tree rats
Actually living in the woods has always been a dream of mine (I know, think of the times you've dreamed of it too!).
Now that I have spent the last two months out in the wild, I must admit after living at such a lightning pace compared to my current one, it feels great to downshift and enjoy the scenery. After having endured for almost a decade the responsibility, which proved to be much greater than I could have ever imagined, of trying to keep citizens informed, and on deadline, this recent and quite rare opportunity to enter a much different "rat race" honestly offered a much needed and welcomed relief.
At first, covering the news by taking a few photos (and attempting to write legible stories) was exciting and challenging. Through the years the feedback from my community was motivating, often inspiring and rewarding, but the time had come for a change. Brooks warned me from the beginning that many local newspaper reporters, especially in a small town, often get to a similar breaking/decision-making point due to the weight of the quite honorable and large responsibility of bringing news to the public.
