Albany - A cigarette butt, candy wrapper, even a soda can. On their own, each piece of trash is just that, but when hundreds, even thousands are strewn throughout a city, it makes for a stinky, unsightly community. Now, city and county leaders want to clean up.
Commissioners Jon Howard and John Hayes started their weeks off in a nasty way. They walked around downtown Albany counting cigarette butts. The amount they found was shocking, more than 3,000 in one city block. Ugly, even unhealthy. "It gets into our water streams. We have to remember cigarettes contain nicotine so there are truly health concerns there," says Hayes.
There are plans to give away cigarette disposal containers, so folks don't throw butts on the ground. But there are also concerns about how to attract new businesses and foot traffic if the city we live in is unsightly. Martie Jones says, "When you see something that's beautiful, you enjoy it more, and that's what we're trying to do down here. We're just trying to have this beautification program put in place so that everybody, when they do come down, they'll take pride in it and they'll see what we have to offer in Albany."
And that's why they've formed Partnerships in Pride. A community involvement group that includes merchants, leaders and citizens. Cleaning up together, and keeping things clean. "When they walk out their front door," says Howard, "if they see trash or some cigarette paper, pick it up and they certainly have made a difference for that day."
Hayes says, "Everybody wants a clean environment, or should. So it's up to us to be advocates for a clean Albany, Dougherty."
So that when people visit the county, they'll want to come back. Business owners are actually obligated by law to keep the area adjacent to their building clean by sweeping, and removing trash every day.

I love the Trina Turk deco pillows (also top quality and an absolutely beautiful color). My decor is contemporary, but this trellis design could be used with any style. Thing I love most is that you can change the look of the comforter just by changing the color of your shams and deco pillows.

FRANKFORT, KY (WAVE) - Some state workers want to make sure their voices are heard as Kentucky starts trying to reform the pension system.
Current public workers, such as like teachers, law enforcement and road workers, rallied at the State Capitol Thursday.
They are calling on State lawmakers to fully fund the public pension system that pays for retirement for tens of thousands of people.
Currently, that system is under funded by $33 million.
Local Union President for the Sheriff's Deputies Tim Pike said he could have retired last year, but he's forced to keep working because of the uncertainty, "I've been on the sheriff's department for 21 years. At this point, the way they're trying to change things, I won't be able to retire until I can draw social security."
The public employees at the rally said they are worried changes will put disability and survivor benefits, healthcare costs, and cost of living adjustments at risk.

If Black Metal and Power Metal were to ever have a child (gods forbid save this exception) it would be Ensiferum.
Ensiferum uses the melodies and choral arrangements without sacrificing the thrash and black elements.
Nothing is more evident than in their new album Victory Songs. With tracks such as the Wanderer and Victory Songs we see the professional and creative side of folk metal. With Ahti and Raised by the Sword we see the more hard-hitting skills that Ensiferum still possess.
The album is an awesome listen and I personally can listen to it all the way through without ever getting bored. Whether you are looking for original muscianiship or creative lyrics or both, consider this a perfect buy.

Athletics Nation has always been pretty split when it comes to "Does the team show enough fire" opinion . . . half of us wish Macha/Chavez/whomever would throw a tantrum after every failed at-bat, while the other half seems to think it ok to see someone smile while the A's lose 10 in a row, the team plane loses an engine, and the hotel goes up in flames.
In other words, it's hard for us to find a happy medium. My ? is this -- is it time for Macha to rally the troops in a meeting, especially if the A's get swept today? Or do they just write the slump off to injuries, and say "What's the use?"
I loved it that Leyland ripped into the Tigers barely 2 weeks into the season -- and I'd love to claim it's the reason they're playing so well -- but then, I definitely fall into the "pitch a fit" every time something goes wrong side of the spectrum.
Then again, expecting someone (Macha) to do something outside of his character is probably unrealistic. Sure would love to see someone "go off" right about now, however -- always makes me feel better when I see at least one guy on the team cares as much as we do.

My 3mons old baby also refuse to drink milk and he used to drink 4oz every 3 hours. Now he drinks 2-3 oz every 3-4 hours. But I can only feed him when he is falling asleep! so you may try that to keep your baby hydratedposted 09/02/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
My 3 months old also struggle and cry while drinking formula. She twitches and shakes her head left to right when the nipple touches her mouth. The only time she drinks calmly is when she is half asleep. Dr. believes the problem is the type of nipple. I was using Playtex AirVent bottles which comes with nipples that do not drip but flows when sucked on. The Dr believes the flow is too much for her. We changed to Evenflo bottles. The Dr also prescribed Mylicon which is a gas relief, over the count, medication. She has been on it for over a week. It seems to be working. Though she still struggles sometime but at least not to the point of crying. Also, she was drinking 3 to 4 oz. Now, she is doing 4 to 5 oz. Talk to your dr and hear what the opinion is.posted 03/20/2008 by jessyen
I have the same problem. Can someone please please tell me what eventually worked with their baby.posted 07/20/2008 by Cathy-Anne
when my son was 6 weeks old he refused to drink and would also scream the house down when i tried to feed him. he would eventually drink because he was obviously so hungry but it was the same scenario for a couple of days. after a hospital visit my son was diagnosed with "acid reflux" which is the opposite to just your normal reflux. so instead of vomiting the milk up once he drunk it, it was going back down his throat and burning him, hence the screaming every time the bottle was offered. he was prescribed some medicine called "zantac" which i would give to him before his feeds. it eased the burning therefore he was able to drink his milk without the pain. he was on the medicine for 6 or 7 months to my memory but it worked. best to let the experts check your child out but it's a possibilty this is what the problem is. your description sounds so similar. best of luck.posted 04/15/2008 by Nickers01
I have the same problem with my 3 month old Did you find a solution?posted 11/27/2007 by deepadewan
My 3 month old baby did the same. She is primarily breastfed but I gave her 1 bottle a night since 5 weeks old and she used to take 3 oz each night. However, since around 12 weeks when we sent her to daycare, she started refusing the bottle and would cry and cry every time the bottle was offered to her. At first we thought it was just bottle refusal since she's used to being breastfed but we had to get her to drink since I went back to work. Anyway, after many trials and errors, we upped her nipple size from slow flow to medium flow and all of a sudden overnight, from drinking 1oz if any she could down 5oz in 10 min. No spit ups and no breast refusal after either. The daycare teachers actually suggested it cuz they noticed that she would try to suck hard from the bottle before giving up. Poor baby, she was hungry but just couldn't get milk out fast enough.posted 11/15/2012 by trendystore

Another solution is to change the flow of the nipple. Same problem, 31/2 months old refusing milk suddenly but when I switched to a fast flow nipple (Nipple flow for a 6+ months baby), my baby able to gulped up 5 oz in up in less than 10mins. Now, he does not fuss or falls asleep when drinking milk.posted 08/03/2012 by justrose

Flyin' Frogs Shine at Texas Relays
April 5, 2002
The TCU track & field team had a solid performance in Friday's portion of the 75th running of the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin. The Frogs' got NCAA outdoor provisional marks from Cleavon Dillon in the long jump and from the women's 4x100-meter relay team, highlighting the day's events.
"It was a good, solid day for us today," said TCU head coach Monte Stratton. "We don't have a whole lot of athletes competing here this weekend, but those who are here have done a nice job. We hope to finish up strong on Saturday" added Stratton.
Freshman Cleavon Dillon, making his first appearance of the outdoor season after registering a fourth-place finish in the long jump at the national indoor meet in March, recorded an NCAA provisional mark of 7.89 meters (25-10.75) in finishing second behind LSU standout Walter Davis.
The TCU women's sprint relay quartet of La' Toya White, Chaunte Baldwin, Tiffany Starts and Monica Twum, posted an NCAA provisional time of 44.74, the third fastest time in the prelims behind only LSU and Texas. Their previous best mark this season was a 45.13 time at the LSU Alumni Gold Invitational on March 16.
Friday's action also saw Michael Frater turn in the fastest time in the 100 meter dash prelims with a mark of 10.43 seconds. Freshman La' Toya White also will compete in Saturday's 100-meter dash finals on the women's side after posting a time of 11.86, the seventh fastest time among the university women.
The three-time defending TCU men's 4x100 meter relay team easily advanced to Saturday's final after posting the fifth best time in the prelims with a mark of 39.89. The quartet featured an anchor leg from Demario Wesley, running for the first time since the Conference USA indoor championships in late February.
The women's 4x400 meter relay team just missed qualifying for Saturday's finals despite knocking nearly five seconds off their previous best mark of the outdoor season.
The meet continues on Saturday with TCU athletes featured in the finals of both the men's and women's 100-meter dash, the finals of both the men's and women's 4x100 meter relay, the finals of the men's 4x400 meter relay and Brandal Lawrence in the triple jump.
TCU Results:
100 meter prelims: 1. Michael Frater 10.43Q
Long Jump: Section A finals: 2. Cleavon Dillon 7.89m (25-10.75), (NCAA provisional mark)
Long Jump: Section B finals: 6. Aundre Edwards 7.34m (24-01.00), 8. Kimton Coleman 7.27m (23-10.25)
4x100 meter relay prelims: 5. TCU (Michael Frater, Steve Slowly, Jermaine Joseph, Demario Wesley) 39.89Q
100 meter prelims: 7. La' Toya White 11.86Q, 13. Monica Twum 11.92, 29. Chaunte Baldwin 12.14
100 meter hurdle prelims: 45. Esther Jackson 15.01
4x100 meter relay prelims: 3. TCU (La' Toya White, Chaunte Baldwin, Tiffany Starts, Monica Twum) 44.74Q (NCAA provisional mark)
4x400 meter relay prelims: 10. TCU (Larissa Bakasa, Tarieka Paige, Heather Hanchak, Perhona Tomlin) 3:40.92

Bozell Column: Another Fleeting Failure for NBC
Super Bowl XLVI was a good football game, marred once again by the bohemian elite at NBC. NBC could have prevented, but failed to stop, the broadcast of a female rapper "flipping the bird" at 114 million viewers during Madonna's halftime show. It was another "fleeting expletive" of the hand-gesture variety, and somehow, despite elaborate rehearsals, no one at NBC could seem to stop it.
The same network skillfully edited God out of a clip of children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance during last year's U.S. Open golf tournament.
As usual, and just as CBS did with Janet Jackson, NBC tried to shift the blame in a statement, declaring that "the NFL hired the talent and produced" the show. As usual, the NFL statement stressed a "failure in NBC's delay system" and characterized the gesture as "completely inappropriate" and "very disappointing" and "obscene." (The Hollywood Reporter added the NFL apparently dropped out the "obscene" part under pressure from NBC, which doesn't want FCC attention for this prank witnessed by untold millions of children.)
The offender is a 36-year-old British rap "artist" who calls herself "M.I.A." -- which is easier to say than her real Sri Lankan name, Mathangi Arulpragasam. The next morning on NBC, "Today" host Kathie Lee Gifford spoke for most of America: "I'd never heard of her before, but that's not unusual for me."
That's exactly how rebellious rappers make names for themselves. While she was launching the obscene gesture, she was rapping, "I'm-a say this once, yeah I don't give a (S-word)." That's in the newly recorded Madonna song they were performing ("Give Me All Your Luvin'"), and it's also in the video. How does NBC not prepare for a bleep and a camera shift when it knows it's coming?
At 53, Madonna's a little old to pull this stunt herself. She promised the press beforehand there would be no "wardrobe malfunctions" -- and we were all relieved. There was an unmistakably musty grandma smell in her aging act, which she tried to overcome by bringing in female rappers M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj. They acted as her hired cheerleaders in her song, chanting "L.U.V. Madonna" in the background.
As usual, and just as Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake declared, M.I.A.'s camp claimed the gesture was "not premeditated" and did not occur in rehearsals. (In the Madonna video, she points her fingers like a gun.) They asserted, "She got caught up in the moment." It absolutely, positively wasn't a publicity stunt to make an obscure backup the biggest name in the headlines during the most watched Super Bowl in history. Sure.
Although the NFL foots the bill to produce the halftime show, the league does not pay performers, since the massive exposure is enough reward. But artists do sign decency clauses, according to an NFL publicist, who added that the league is "exploring all of our options." That's publicist lingo for "hoping it just goes away."
As usual, they had help from the so-what crowd. The media reprised Twitter defenders with messages like "I don't know any intelligent person who actually cares."
But the prize for audacity goes to a goofball named Scott Creney at the appropriately named website Collapse Board: "Well first of all, if America gets to drop (bleep) loads of bombs all over innocent brown-skinned people whenever we feel like it, exploit third-world economies for our own profit and luxury, and inflict the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the world, then I think the U.S. deserves a middle-finger raised in its direction once in a while. And I say this as an American."
He recommended everyone read The New Yorker, which is somehow branded as a class act. Their music critic Sasha Frere-Jones proclaimed that M.I.A. should not have apologized. "The outrage is tiresome and deeply hypocritical...Fine, it may not be legal to flip the bird on television, but that's simply a remnant of the fifties we haven't shaken." He said he raised both his middle fingers instead at the Parents Television Council for being offended. "I say we get out of The Pretending To Be Moral game altogether," he concluded.
He tried to be offended instead that the Super Bowl show featured "ad after ad that likened women -- negatively -- to sofas, cars and candy." He raised his middle fingers to "anyone who thinks profanity is somehow more harmful to our children than images of violence and misogyny."
As usual, if NBC had made a serious attempt to employ its otherwise meaningless 7-second delay technology, none of this would have happened.

The old adage "Any pubicity is good publicity" applies to NBC. The Janet Jackson episode and this latest one merely draw attention to NBC -- good or bad -- and that's what they seek.
They could've stopped it, but they had no incentive to.

Excellent point, Brent, about NBC not being able to stop that expletive but was able to stop "under God" by school children citing the Pledge of Allegiance.
Liberals (led by NBC in this scenario, but many others, and not exclusively by that network) claim this type of thing (in both cases) is freedom of expression and freedom of religion.
It is freedom FROM expression and freedom FROM religion! Huge difference.

No one - NO ONE here has room to complain. If you STILL have a TV in your house and you still watch it, you get what you deserve. Don't even get me started about NBC. Shut the sports off for a year and see a) how much happier you are and b) just how fast the networks suddenly clean up their act. Most likely after a year of no TV, you'll probably never go back.

I think when we were both growing up NBC had a great reputation. Look back--Sid, Milton, Chet, David-a long time ago to be sure, but you looked up to them. Now they are the laughing stock, last place and only going lower. Do they think if they do outrageous stuff that people will turn them back on to see what the next outrage will be? Sad comment on what they have turned into and a great shame.

NBC and flipping the bird and Madonna
Submitted by Steve Cakouros on Sat, 02/11/2012 - 6:40pm.
I have asked my family to join me in watching as little of NBC as possible. It is a refuge for queers tree huggers and what not.
Madonna is irrelevant, a whore, home breaker, religious quack, and Freudian delight.
I'm sure that the money she has spent on shrinks could float a charity.
I loathe her truly.

I let the technopop first
Submitted by Kenny Bunkport on Sat, 02/11/2012 - 9:41pm.
I let the technopop first song go unmuted as I rummaged around the kitchen during halftime. When she started the paean to her enormous ego, replete with "Madonna, Madonna", being offered like some Nuremburg rally chant, I had to turn the sound off.
I didn't see the offending digit, but I thought Madonna's tribute to herself, was offensive enough.

Sell your sensationalism for a buck
Submitted by Tim Graham on Sat, 02/11/2012 - 10:46pm.
If our entertainment press is tired of "Pretending to Be Moral," then perhaps they should turn around and mock musicians for "Pretending to Be Rebellious" as an endless marketing ploy. There is no "art" in "flipping the bird," and there is no reason for NBC and the NFL to select these "artists" and then let it happen in front of millions of children.

No reason to let it happen in front of adults either

After all, by watching we're paying for the show. I don't particularly enjoy having people give me the bird and sure as heck don't want to PAY for it.

NBC also treated to Nikki Minaj, whose lyrics include some extremely racist references to black people, not the least of which being "monkey n-word"
Could somebody remind me why Roland Martin was suspended from his job? Or Jimmy the Greek fired from CBS? Or Rush Limbaugh fired from ESPN?

I happen to be a fan of both Nicki Minaj and MIA-and I'm kinda with that New Yorker guy... I find the grossly misogynistic advertising considerably more offensive than a fleeting gesture.

Maybe we can have the NFL send you the bill, then?

Like it or not, if you want to watch the shows and sports events, someone pays. You always have the option of changing channels or just turning the TV off. And, only Chrysler, along with MIA flipped off anyone.

I wasn't complaining
Submitted by BosTarus on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 2:32am.
so I'm not concerned about changing the channel-but, yeah, if i found something offensive I'm well aware of the power button.
But I think there were far more offensive ads then the pro-Detroit Chrysler ad... which was completely inoffensive by any rational standards. But nothing that'd make me write a letter or anything.

Ask this question to almost anyone, and the resounding answer will be something like: "Yes! It is the American Way. 'One person, one vote' is the cornerstone of democracy."
Just how deep this sentiment runs can be seen in the recent protests against policies requiring all voters to first produce a photo ID. The protesters seem to feel that any restriction on the unimpeded access to voting undermines our very democracy.
I support voter ID laws. Without them, a single person could theoretically cast many votes during one Election Day by going to different polling stations; the fraud potential is enormous. If there are people too poor to procure an ID, the small amount of money needed for this purpose should be provided, either by government or private charities.
Though politically incorrect to the extreme, a more fundamental question, I believe, is whether all American citizens, even those with proper IDs, should be automatically permitted to vote in major elections, such as for Congress and the presidency. I raise this issue haltingly, for I recognize the potential for danger whenever government deprives people of their rights. I also feel profound respect and gratitude toward the American practice of all people always being allowed to vote.
Nevertheless, there are valid democratic considerations for why all people should not necessarily be allowed to vote. At the very least, this issue should be publicly aired and debated.
Imagine a team of hospital oncologists agonizing over how to best treat a heretofore unseen type of cancer. Would they put the matter to a vote of the hospital's secretaries? Of course not! And this is not discriminatory. Clearly, such medical decisions where lives hang in the balance should only be made by those who understand the relevant scientific and medical issues.
When casting a vote in a major election, choices must be made between different positions on life or death matters of national security, for example, whether to bomb Iran, which currently poses a potential nuclear threat. Also at issue are the differing approaches to dealing with the huge and ever-increasing national debt that could destroy the U.S. economy and render its currency worthless. Voters must also respond to the current tendency of government to abuse personal freedoms, as witnessed in the recent IRS scandal.
Yet, many of the Americans casting votes on these weighty matters are appallingly ignorant of the issues they are deciding upon.
An October, 2013 Cato Institute article titled "Democracy and Political Ignorance" reported, regarding Obamacare, that: "Some 80 percent (of the U.S. public) say they have heard 'nothing at all' or 'only a little' about the controversial insurance exchanges that are a major part of the law." The article also mentioned that: "Most of the public has very little idea of how federal spending is actually distributed. They greatly underestimate the percentage that goes to entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security, and vastly overestimate that spent on foreign aid. Public ignorance is not limited to information about specific policies. It also extends to the basic structure of government and how it operates. A 2006 survey found that only 42 percent can even name the three branches of the federal government: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial."
A 2011 article in the Daily Mail reported that 70 percent of all Americans do not know what the Constitution is and 29 percent cannot name the Vice President.
Isn't it reasonable, then, to propose that the U.S. require all voters, irrespective of race, education, or income level, to first pass a basic exam on the issues of the day and the makeup of the U.S. government? This would not be an exercise in depriving anybody of their right to vote. Rather, it would be a case of making the entirely reasonable demand that voters know the rudiments of what they are voting upon.

Wasabi, Thursday, January 24, 2013
Thursday, January 24, 2013
Kuumbwa Jazz
Dance space available!
As their mantra states, Santa Cruz band Wasabi offers a highly viable, heavily rockin' and very righteous "funk rock future," featuring bassist Dan Robbins, drummer Alex Work and guitar-slinger Ron Work, Wasabi's collective stage credits include performances with luminaries such as Maceo Parker, Lee Scratch Perry and Dick Dale, forming a varied, yet accurate, testament to where the soul of this band lies. Their new album Wide Open is filled with full-tilt instrumental rallying, smooth melodicism and plenty of glorious twists and turns.
Local bass-man Dan Robbins has played and recorded in just about every format, from solo, duo and trio endeavors, to big band and orchestral ensembles. Equally proficient on electric and acoustic bass, he's also been known to employ four, five, six, and even seven-string electric basses. This allows him to experiment with chords and melodies in a unique fashion. He brings a fiery improvisational spirit and energy to all the projects he's involved with. Some of Robbins' many credits include local names such as Paul Contos, Smith Dobson, the LeBoeuf Brothers. Most recently he received a call phone Grammy winning bass player, Christian McBride, asking Robbins to join him onstage at the SFJazz Festival.
Drummer Alex Work has also kept up a busy schedule in a variety of musical settings over the years. He plays in styles ranging from funk, hip-hop, Afro-Cuban, North Africa, reggae, blues, Americana and rock. He has played and toured with Babatunde Olatunji, Umphrees McGee and Lauren Shera. Ron Work is a guitarist who shows tasteful flourishes of funk and rock iconography in his playing, all while serving it up with his own special twists. Together, these three musicians create Wasabi, a danceable, funk-infused trio with modern sensibility.

TWO factors are making the Hyundai distributor here very optimistic about its Elantra in 2014 - a mild makeover and its affordability.
The Hyundai Elantra, which was first introduced here more than two years ago, has had a very mild makeover. On the outside, nothing has changed except that a pair of daytime driving lights has been integrated into the fog lamps.
On the inside, though, there are a few ergonomic changes. The interior looks largely the same as the previous car except that the pair of front air vents in the centre console are now in a higher position.
They used to reside on the same level as the steering column but now, the vents flank the audio set and are integrated into the decorative trim, instead of being part of the lower dash.
Another welcome change is the new pair of rear air vents for occupants in the back seat. Housed in the centre arm rest for the front seat passengers, they put the 1.6-litre Elantra in a different class, while projecting that important quality of value for money. Because with a starting price of $110,999, this is the lowest this pretty Hyundai has been for more than a year.
Even though the February re-classification of COE Category A has not resulted in lower premiums, it has encouraged distributor Komoco Motors to keep prices low for the Elantra. Its predecessor, the Avante, was Singapore's top model in 2009 when COE premiums ranged from about $1,000 to not more than $19,000.
But if premiums do not fall as expected, the Elantra still remains a credible alternative. It feels more solid than it looks and drives confidently with well-weighted steering that is fairly accurate. Gripping the thick rim of the steering wheel provides tactile satisfaction, while its tidy handling produces surprisingly high driving enjoyment.
The Hyundai has a six-speed automatic transmission which can be manual shifted using the redesigned gear lever that is now sportier to look at and smoother to hold. The gated shift of old has also been replaced with a neater smoked plastic garnish.
The relatively quiet cabin is let down by tyre noise, which depending on the trim level, is sized at 15 or 16 inches. There is a $6,000 difference between the S and Elite variants.
For the extra cash, the Elite gets a long list of extra equipment such as keyless engine start, an electric driver's seat, six airbags instead of the standard two, and a reverse camera integrated into the rear view mirror which also has front recording video capabilities.
Not bad for something in this segment. Now all the Elantra needs to make it even more attractive is a lower COE premium.

By Madeleine Field, FDM Group Recruitment Manager
Madeleine is responsible for the FDM Group graduate recruitment teams. As well as overseeing recruitment operations for FDM Group's graduate programme worldwide, Madeleine also organises all corporate career presentations, workshops, seminars and graduate fairs.
Graduates who lack relevant work experience should not despair as there is always more than one route to the end result.
Consider all of your previous work experience and ensure your CV highlights how the skills you utilised in these roles are transferable to the job you're applying for. Never underestimate the value of customer service skills when working with a diverse team of colleagues.
Focus on your overall employability. An individual's employability refers to more than just their technical skills which are relevant to the role. Increasingly employers are looking for well-rounded individuals who have basic commercial awareness and 'soft' skills. At FDM we provide our graduates with professional skills training, which includes communication skills, presentation skills, mock interviews and professionalism in the workplace.
Look for alternative ways to get your foot in the door of your industry. FDM is an award-winning international IT services provider that offers a solution to the catch-22 hurdle of qualifications without experience that many university leavers face. Our unique graduate programme involves a fast track 12-16 week training programme, which provides graduates with practical qualifications, followed by a minimum of two years working as an IT Consultant for one of our 200+ prestigious clients.
Recent figures released by the Office for National Statistics show that the unemployment level for 16-24 year olds in the UK is at its highest level since records began in 1992. With this in mind, I would advise graduates to look beyond their work experience and contemplate their overall 'employability' package. Grab any opportunities to get relevant industry experience, but don't underestimate the skills you already have. Perseverance and passion are important traits to keep you going throughout your job hunt.
Finally, remember that employers are looking for a person, not a piece of paper, so make sure you demonstrate your personality as well as your professionalism.

I am not superstitious, but when the Hawks are 7-0 and in the top 10, I don't have a choice but to be superstitious. I got to thinking about the way the season has been going, and have been hearing from my dad about how comparable things have been between this season and the 1985 season (beating Michigan by 2 points...) So that got be thinking, 1985 was 24 years ago, the last time we started a season with so many wins without any losses. I happen to be 24 years old, and coincidentally, my dad was 24 years old in 1985. But it goes back farther than 1985, and here is what I've pieced together:
My dad was born in the summer of 1961. That fall, Iowa was preseason number 1 in the nation, and remained there for 4 straight weeks, beating USC, Cal, and Wisconsin (Iowa also beat Notre Dame 42-21 that season) before ending up losing 4 conference games that year. But we WERE number 1 for 4 weeks.
24 years later... I was born the summer of 1985, a season where Iowa was ranked number 1 for 5 straight weeks and went to the Rose Bowl, beat Michigan by 2 points in "the Game". My dad was 24 years old.
and 24 years later... I am now 24 years old, Iowa is 7-0, top 10, beat Michigan by 2. We haven't been # 1 yet this season, but as I was told by EA Sports NCAA Football 2010, "stranger things have happened in college football". I'm hoping our # 1 doesn't come until the conclusion of the season, and if it doesn't happen, I am pretty sure the universe will explode. Superstition? No, it's just a cycle that started before the dawn of man, which was 1961 (don't bother looking up 24 years prior to 1961, it didn't happen, and Iowa didn't only win 1 game that year)
Oh, and just for good measure, Elisha Cuthbert is one hott blond Canadian, and she was in that show called "24".

With the Dolphins trying to play their way out of a 6-0 deficit in the middle of the second quarter, star receiver Brandon Marshall hasn't been doing his team any favors.
On one drive, Marshall dropped a pass. A few plays later, Marshall hauled one in, broke a tackle and ran out of bounds for a first down along the Bears' sideline. After heading out of bounds, Marshall flung the ball at quarterback and former teammate Jay Cutler, drawing a 15-yard taunting penalty.
The move was likely done more out of foolishness than animosity. Marshall and Cutler were spotted having an extended conversation on the field during warm-ups and appear to still have a respectful relationship.
Marshall later left the game with a hamstring injury. His return is been ruled as questionable.

About Us
If you really love your community and want to make it a better place to live in, there are a few things you can do to help. By helping others or even being part of the common goal for the improvement of the economic, social and environmental well being of the community around you is going to be as rewarding for you the same way it is for beneficiaries of your financial assistance and hard work. If you are a health and safety advisor, you can also help out.
You can give back to your community by volunteering. There are very many worthy causes and they can be as simple as coaching the football team in your neighborhood, organizing fund raising and bake sales for someone who might be ill or needy in the community. You can also choose to volunteer at the homeless shelter or helping out and visiting the elderly people who do not have families to do so.
Cleaning the community
Organize a group of family and friends and then set aside a day where you can all get together and pick up trash on the beaches, roadside or any other place in your community. You can take turns in cleaning each others street or a section of the road. Make sure that you take adequate safety precautions.
Start a neighborhood watch
You can keep your community safe when you start a neighborhood watch. The members of the community will be more than willing to get involved and look out for each other. If you see people who are suspicious or any suspicious activities taking place in your neighborhoods, you need to get in touch with law enforcers.
Donate money or personal property
You can choose to make donations of your used books to the local library. Donate some of your personal items to the veterans organizations, salvation army and any other charitable organizations. You can take tax deduction from your donation of personal property or money.
Set good examples
The best way to help out your community is by setting the right examples. Do not merely concentrate on the faults of your neighbors but be the one to set a positive example. Do not be disruptive in the neighborhood or overly loud.
Small acts of kindles can make a big contribution to the change for the better in someones life. If you can help out, do not hesitate to do so.

If you have at any time spent cash on marketing before, you will know that it can be a pricey procedure. Whether the cost is calculated in time, work, cash or a mixture of all 3 – the 1 thing that counts the most is the outcomes. A lack of outcomes from a marketing marketing campaign can be a genuine disappointment.More frequently than not, it is a situation of strike-and-miss which leads to aggravation and a squandered marketing spending budget.This post will clarify 3 actions that you can take to gauge how effective your advertising campaigns are and to quickly improve the response prices of future campaigns. It also brings to light some relatively unfamiliar tactics that some advertising businesses are using to rip-off their clients. I hope you are not 1 of these clients… But you might have been currently with out even recognizing it.Stage one: T&TYou may or may not function out a proper marketing campaign for your promotions, but allow me make a recommendation to you if I may? You really ought to be Monitoring and Testing. If you don't know how responsive a particular ad is, how can you probably gauge the ad's effectiveness? Not by guessing, that's for certain! It is important that you T&T simply because this retains you [url=http://www.newtoryburchjpsales.com/%E3%83%88%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%83%81-%E8%B2%A1%E5%B8%83-c-152.html] トリーバーチ 長財布 [/url] in manage of yourearnings.If your campaigns are not making the desired outcome – signups, sales, opt-ins and so on., something needs to be changed.

Here is a brief checklist of questions you can ask your self. The solution to these concerns should be ' Yes'. If the answer is 'No', then merely tweak the item and T&T to generate a much better response.Ad Duplicate:Does it have an eye-catching headline? Is it nicely written with the correct grammar and punctuation? Have you edited [url=http://www.newmonclerdownsjp.com/] モンクレール ダウン メンズ [/url] it more than and more than to create what you would think about a perfect ad? Does it use hypnotic words and phrases that grab the curiosity of the reader? Does it make the reader want to click through to your internet site whilst pulling out their credit card? If you wouldn't respond to the advertisement your self, a rewrite is a should.Product Need:If you really aim to make sales, your advertising requirements to be put in front of the people who will want to buy your product. Have you carried out or have access to market research data on the product you are providing? If it is a niche-target product, are you targeting the appropriate viewers?

Have you made it so there are no unanswered concerns for the consumer to inquire?Order Web page:Have you integrated a guarantee that eliminates the risk taken by the customer? Have you provided a number of fee options exactly where relevant? Have you made the purchasing process as quick and simple as feasible? Have you integrated your get in touch with particulars? If everything else seems to be set correctly but you're nonetheless not getting the reaction you need, think about revising the price and T&T. Use a break up tester if feasible to see which cost receives the much better reaction (and it is not usually the less expensive price remarkably). one hundred is a good number to use for split-screening. ie: If you are testing two webpages, the initial to obtain one hundred responses is the one to adopt.Step 3: QAUsually QA stands for High quality Assurance and it nonetheless does, but in this occasion, it also means High quality Marketing. T&T and Tweaking can be an ongoing process that you continually carry out utilizing totally free or compensated marketing.There are many forms of marketing accessible on the internet.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Casting, 20th Century Fox, Family Films, Remakes and Sequels, CinematicalIf the sequel to Night at the Museum wanted to retain the level of accuracy seen with the original, it would have a Chinese actor playing Russian Czar Ivan IV (aka Ivan the Terrible). But while I'm sure there will still be historical errors abound in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, the honor of playing Ivan has gone instead to pale-enough actor/filmmaker Christopher Guest (Best in Show), according to the Hollywood Reporter. And since Guest is actually a far more serious man than you'd expect, despite all those silly mockumentaries he writes and directs, here's hoping he studies his Eisenstein for inspiration.
A bunch of other actors have also joined Ben Stiller in the fantasy film, including Jon Bernthal (World Trade Center) as Al Capone, Bill Hader (Superbad) as General Custer, Alain Chabat (The Science of Sleep) as Napoleon and the franchise's screenwriters, Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, as the Wright brothers. This makes for a very packed cast, considering most of the first movie's co-stars are apparently returning, including Robin Williams, Steve Coogan, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Dick Van Dyke, Jake Cherry and Patrick Gallagher, the guy who looked all wrong for the part of Atilla the Hun. Other newbies to the series include Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart and Hank Azaria as Egyptian pharaoh Kah Mun Rah.
The sequel is currently filming in Vancouver, which seems a bit far away from the actual Smithsonian Institute, but reportedly the production will have access to shoot a few scenes in the actual museum, which is located in Washington, D.C. Maybe it will actually look like it takes place there, too.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | emailJanuary 2, 2009
ALBANY, GA (WALB) - One of the bills the Senate will consider when they convene is an ammunition coding bill. It would require manufacturers to engrave a unique code on the bottom of each bullet, so it can be traced. A measure that could help in the prosecution of people using handguns to commit crimes.
A state senator from Decatur has proposed legislation that would require an ammunition coding and database system. It would require a unique serial number or marking on each bullet. Many gun rights enthusiasts say the bill is a violation of their second amendment rights.
Sheriff Kevin Sproul said, "It looks like they're trying to get around the regulation of ammunition, instead of the gun sales, but the ammunition of it."
The bill could act as an aid to law enforcement in the prosecution of cases involving handguns. Former District Attorney Ken Hodges said, "I think anything we can do to help law enforcement rack down who the culprit is in any shooting or serious crime like that would be a good thing."
The encoding would require special equipment to place the marking on bullets. That would place an added cost on the manufacturer and the people buying the bullets. Hodges says it's a cost that may be worth paying.
"I think it would be a good thing. If you even find one killer out there it's going to be worth a few pennies per bullet purchase for people across the state."
Sproul said, "I think they have the right intent to try to help us on the criminal end to prosecute these people who are doing this illegally, not through the legal means."
If the bill passes as written, all non-coded handgun ammunition whether owned privately or commercially will have to be disposed of by January 1st of 2012.

North Korea defied international warnings and fired a long-range rocket Wednesday, the second launch under its new leader and a clear sign Pyongyang is pushing forward with its quest to develop the technology needed to deliver a nuclear warhead, notes The Washington Post.
Pyongyang insists is a scientific mission aimed at putting a satellite in orbit and that the rocket successfully operated, reports CBS, The New York Times, the BBC and The Guardian, quoting North Korean news sources. NORAD confirmed the satellite in orbit.
"The second version of satellite Kwangmyongsong-3 successfully lifted off from the Sohae Space Center in Cholsan County, North Phyongan Province by carrier rocket Unha-3 on Wednesday.

Police in Norwich have arrested two men they say were involved in an armed home invasion in August.
According to police, 31-year-old James Alston, of Norwich, and 23-year-old John Factura, also of Norwich, were arrested Oct. 4 for the crime.

None of the victims were injured during the incident. An amount of cash and jewelry were stolen.

Credit Cards & Debit Cards
Control rooms in pipeline to settle credit card disputes
Our Bureau
Hyderabad , Jan. 29
TO support credit cardholders seeking redressal of their disputes pertaining to bills and outstanding dues with bankers, the Credit Cardholders Association of India is planning to set up control rooms in various State capitals. Disclosing this at a press conference here on Saturday, the Association General Secretary, Mr C.V. Giddappa, said that a control room was already set up in Bangalore and the one at Hyderabad would be launched on February 1.
"These control rooms will provide the necessary advice on redressal to the credit cardholders, who are being harassed by bankers through illegal means such as recovery agents taking law into their hands. These control rooms will also help the credit cardholders in amicably settling their payment disputes with the bankers," Mr Giddappa said. Taking the help of Banking Ombudsmen appointed under the revised scheme, the association proposes to organise open forums and bring the issuing banks and credit cardholders onto a single platform.
Though the RBI has come out with clear guidelines and ground rules for the credit card issuing banks, the association has found out that banks have frequently resorted to illegal methods in recovering dues from the credit cardholders.
"These include making threatening calls to cardholders and their family members, engaging the services of anti-social elements such as goons for recovery, and even wrongfully confining the cardholders for several hours," Mr Giddappa said. Stating that the association would be taking them to the notice of RBI for immediate action, he said all contracts involving finance are of a civil nature and the implementation of the terms of such a contract would have to be through civil remedy.
"Further, we have obtained positive response from the Life Insurance Corporation for launching a `Swadeshi Credit Card' with low interest rate of less than 12 per cent per annum. We were told that LIC is currently in talks with Corporation Bank for launching the co-braded credit card," Mr Giddappa said.
