|Keith Francis: solutions.
An annual survey of chief executive officers (CEOs) across the world*, conducted at the end of 2008, showed they considered their top challenges to be excellence in execution, consistent execution of strategy, and the capability of their companies to speedily flex and adapt to change. These they placed above their anxiety for global economic performance and financial risk.
This is understandable, because unless a company can change quickly and effectively to meet today�s changing and unpredictable economies it will likely die.
Why sales effectiveness is not enough
Many already have. Improving sales effectiveness is fine, but by its very nature it is directed at where things are now and not where they will be, because that is the future and uncertain. Recessions have a habit of purging and changing things forever and bringing about new ways and means. They always have and this one will be no different. (We only have to look at two sectors � automotive [with climate change/declining oil] and publishing [the web] � to see the inescapable truth of this � Ed.)
This recession is a dramatic example of the increasing frequency of change and uncertainty in business that has been steadily growing for years. This is why the two previous CEO surveys placed execution and company flexibility well up in their top ten concerns. This year, unsurprisingly, CEO anxiety about these challenges was heightened. More importantly, developments in global markets, technology and know-how suggest that this frequent change and uncertainty trend will continue to escalate well after growth returns.
Unpredictable environment
A crucial factor in any company�s survival and success is the ability of its sales operation to be effective at operating in this unpredictable environment. And this is the problem. So many sales managers are frustrated by their sales team�s apparent reactive approach and general resistance to new ways and methods.
Review Management is a new initiative that goes some way to addressing this problem. In its first year of introduction in just one operation, in a single country, it saved National Car Rentals �3m and gained double-digit sales growth. The process makes four changes:
- embeds proactive working in the sales operation;
- aligns the company strategy or direction to the actions of every individual;
- improves the agility of the sales operation to change swiftly and effectively; and
- enhances sales governance.
Most importantly it recognises that the solution is found in the way sales managers operate rather than focusing on their salespeople.
Proactive working
Reacting in times of frequent change and uncertainty leaves the sales team at the mercy of events. Waiting to see what others do in these times will at best position a sales operation as a second-rate follower, at worst missing the bus altogether.
These times call for sales individuals who anticipate, plan and act. They take the initiative, continually review their assumptions, decisions and progress to learn and move as one: in other words, they�re people who work proactively. This is the way of the entrepreneur and those who accommodate change and make use of it to succeed.
Companies have attempted to embed proactive working in sales teams for some time through initiatives such as sales operation, territory, account and sales opportunity planning. Sadly, most initiatives quickly deteriorate into time-consuming form-filling and few are executed.
Focus on execution
With Review Management, the focus changes from building and presenting plans to their execution. When a manager reviews a salesperson�s plan, attention is directed at whether it is feasible, supports the company�s strategy or direction, and if the individual has the resources and capability to make it a reality. Why she does this is an example of a powerful feature of Review Management.
When signing off the plan, the manager becomes equally accountable with the salesperson for its success. Because this accountability is made transparent, the manager will be exposed if the plan begins to fail. When people perceive they could be exposed, they act to reduce the exposure.
The manager�s response will be to continually review the execution of the salesperson�s plan. These reviews will be more than just performance to date, but will be mainly directed to the actions and changes needed to keep the plan on track. The manager will coach, not because he is expected to, but because it is the best option to influence the success of the plan. These performance reviews and coaching, which are also transparent, drive and foster proactive working.
|Figure 1: linking manager and team.
Figure 1 shows that by linking the plans and reviews of each manager and salesperson in the sales hierarchy, the actions of every individual in the sales operation are aligned to the corporate strategy. As performance review are continuous, transparent and give direction to the one below, the operation changes swiftly and as one.
Also note that constraints impacting on performance are escalated up the operation. Again the glue is Transparent Accountability which ensures people are exposed if they attempt to hide or spin bad news. Factors that have the potential to constrain performance are escalated quickly to a level and position where they can be addressed. Transparent Accountability ensures they are acted upon quickly. Review Management does not make it any easier to own-up to the boss, but it certainly does make it difficult to hide or spin bad news.
Fostering proactive working through the entire sales operation, directly aligns corporate strategy to every individual and escalates potential performance constraints. This enhances the agility of the sales operation to change. Review Management also exposes sales processes, methods and tools that are inappropriate, redundant or unrealistic. This is done in a way that ensures action is taken.
Governance is increasing becoming more topical and is concerned with accountability and control. The vast majority of selling takes place away from the office, with much resting on the individual behaviour and judgments of salespeople. This makes control difficult for sales management. Hopefully it can be seen how Review Management address this issue by continually reviewing the results of quality decisions, intentions, actions and activities.
What is certain, is that a fair part of a company�s ability to survive and succeed during and after this recession will be largely down to the ability of its sales force to change swiftly and act proactively. Review Management does this largely through a different approach to management reviews and embeds it into the operation with something called Transparent Accountability.
Management framework
One important point is that Review Management is a management framework. It is �agnostic� to the sales processes or methodologies applied. In fact it helps make them a reality. More importantly it is about making things happen and embedding working practices that are fit for today�s business environment.
This is a very brief introduction into the subject which, although more to needs to be known to understand its impact fully, is simple and powerful.
As National Car Rental�s Ron Santiago said of the initiative; �I can tell you this team certainly changed, motivated and focused in such a way that we could have achieved anything. The entire operation was totally aligned and once you achieve this, you can produce outstanding results in any business.�

Tonight Rimmel are celebrating their 180th birthday with campaign stars Kate Moss, Rita Ora and Georgia May Jagger. Rita Ora is spending the week with Rimmel, as on Monday she shared pictures from her first campaign with the brand, posing in front of a black cab with ruffled up hair and a delicious pink pout. Today she is using the hashtag, #GETthelondonlook, once again as she has shared pictures of her first ever beauty line with Rimmel. There are nail varnishes in white, coral red, cerulean, seafoam and blood red and red lipstick crayons. Rita captioned the picture: 'My favourite think chewing as a kid...'Crayons' Now I've made my own lipstick just like a crayon but don't eat it!!!'
Elsewhere on Instagram Lindsay Lohan outed her brother Michael as a Tinder user, posting a picture of his datingprofile with the caption 'Look who I just found on @tinderapp ... hey bro.' But it looks like LiLo has also outed herself as a Tinder convert, as you have to have an account to find users.
Fashion month might be over but that doesn't mean the fash pack are twiddling their thumbs, oh no they're still tapping away on their touch screens. Derek Blasberg posted a picture of what, or should we say who, greeted him in Dubai. In his picture Naomi Campbell (who is wearing some fetching slipper socks) is draped over Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci. What a welcome wagon indeed. But our favourite Instagram by far is Caroline Seiber's picture of her fluffy pup Swifty - get ready to melt people. Speaking of the Seiber she also has our dream bathroom - that's some mighty marble.
Take a look through the gallery above to see the best pictures on Instagram today...

PNC is closing its bank branch at 3805 S. Calhoun St. on May 17, a spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday. The Pittsburgh-based bank, which acquired National City in 2008, operates 14 branches in Allen County.
Marcey Zwiebel, who is based at corporate headquarters, said customers' accounts are being transferred downtown to 110 W. Berry St. The bank office is about 2 miles from the branch being closed at Calhoun Street and Rudisill Boulevard.
"Research indicates that customers are banking very differently these days," Zwiebel said. That includes a heavier reliance on online banking and ATMs and less on branches, she added.
PNC is trying to become more cost-effective, Zwiebel said.
The company also plans to close one branch each in Indianapolis and Chesterfield in June, she said.
Parkview Medical opens on Liberty Mills
Parkview Medical Plaza at 8911 Liberty Mills Road opens today to patients.
Parkview Physicians Group leaders, who held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, said the facility will offer a walk-in clinic, a lab and X-ray facilities.
The FirstCare Walk-In Clinic will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Dr. Melissa Walther, a board-certified family practice physician, and Dr. Adam Will, a board-certified internal medicine physician, will treat patients in the 14,000-square-foot medical facility.
Jill Ostrem, Parkview Physicians Group's chief operating officer, said in a written statement that the organization is pleased to expand so many services to southwest Fort Wayne.
Jobless rates recede in area Ohio counties
Unemployment rates in four northwest Ohio counties crept downward in February compared to the previous month, according to data released Tuesday.
Paulding County even notched a lower jobless percentage than Ohio's overall non-seasonally-adjusted rate of 7.6 percent. The U.S. unemployment last month was 8.1 percent, also a non-adjusted rate.
Defiance posted 7.8 percent unemployment, compared to 8.3 percent in January. Paulding reported 7.5 percent unemployment, compared to 8 percent. Van Wert posted 7.6 percent unemployment, compared to 8.5 percent. Williams reported 7.8 percent unemployment, compared to 8.8 percent in January.
Ohio's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for February was 7 percent, unchanged from January, and well below the national rate of 7.7 percent.
T-Mobile gets rid of cellphone contracts
T-Mobile USA, the struggling No. 4 cellphone company, is ditching plans centered on familiar two-year contracts in favor of selling phones on installment plans.
In practice, the phone-buying experience is not that much different from before. For instance, someone who wants a Samsung Galaxy S III would pay $70 upfront and then $90 per month for unlimited calling, text and data. That monthly fee includes $20 to pay off the cost of the phone over two years.
But by separating the cost of the phone from the service, T-Mobile is making its plans and upgrade options easier to understand. When the phone is paid off, the $20 fee in that example disappears.
The company outlined its plans at a New York event Tuesday.

So here is the truth about Hesser Yes they are a for profit college(Been than ask yourself which one isn't?) UNH recieve less than 6% funding from the stat and Plymouth(Which Im a graduate of) gets even less, Same with SNHU at 2% so that income comes from students federal funding etc.. I have attended Hesser College for the past 2 years and must say I was 100% Skeptical that I would have stayed more than a few months but 90% of the time the faculty is great and knowledgeable in there field. Where as many major university has Dr. Who just preach the same redirect B.S. One of there biggest flaws.They let anyone and I mean anyone in! Yet if you give it time you will watch as those people dwindle and don't come back after the summer months move on. I have been attending the school as stated for 2 years and I have almost 95% of the same people that I started with in my classes (who can say that for there so called non-profit colleges) My advice If your an adult (18-21 isn't an adult but a late teen thinking they are adults) Check them out and give it a shot as any college intro classes are full of idiots who complain but once you move away from that you can see Hesser is a Diamond in the rough.(P.S I attend the Portsmouth Campus)
Find schools and get information on the program that's right for you.

Intel and Micron reach flash frontier
Intel and Micron have claimed the flash high ground, or low ground really, with a 20nm process which is ready now. Competitors like Samsung and Toshiba are in the 25nm area and Intel Micron Flash Technologies (IMFT), the Intel Micron JV, has leap-frogged them to 20nm. The smaller the geometry, the more flash cells you can get in …
128GB the size of a stamp
I'm as guilty as most for taking technology for granted, but squeezing (about) 1,000,000,000,000 pieces of information onto something that small, and being able to change it and access it at will, is pretty mind-blowing.
The really scary thing is that will seem tame in 3 years time...
I suddenly feel old :(
Intel Mobo's with Flash chip windows OS built in C'mon u know u can do it intel!
:D would be a great selling piece.
SSD+Motherboard is better
Adding flash to the motherboard will just make it more expensive, they're better off using the flash in SSD which they will definitely sell
You're better off standardizing the entire industry to a 2x mini pci-e card. I'd certainly pick up a 64GB card to boot my OS and apps off.

At its Aug. 10 meeting, the BOE announced that the tax levy for the 2004-2005 fiscal year is $90,680,621. This is the amount of money the district needs to raise through taxation, after other income revenues (i.e. state aid) for the new year are computed and subtracted from the district's expenditures. And, though the 2004-05 school budget increased 8.55 percent, representing an increase of $7,865,969 over last year's figure of $91,967,975, the tax rate, based on this year's county assessments, for the new year is up 12.4 percent. The new rate is $120.499 per $100 of assessed valuation of Class I residential dwellings, up from $107.228 for the previous year. Readers interested in finding out their school tax for the new year can call the county assessor's office at 571-2490. A clerk will be able to figure out your school tax, minus any exemption discounts (i.e. STAR) for the new year. Please note this will not include other taxes (i.e. town, village, county).
The tax rate for the other three classes are cooperatives and condos-$410.24 per $100 assessed valuation; commercial property- $376.44 per $100 assessed valuation and for utilities $397.07 per $100 assessed valuation.
The school calendar for the '04-'05 year is as follows:
Schools open- Sept. 8
Recess- Sept. 16 and 17
Columbus Day-Oct. 11
Veterans Day-Nov. 11
Thanksgiving recess- Nov. 25-26

About the Manufacturerferm LIVING originates from a graphic design agency in Aarhus, Denmark, founded by Trine Andersen, creative manager for ferm LIVING. Trine has a background in advertising and graphic design. Back in 2005, Trine decided, mostly for fun, to visit a clairvoyant. Trine was a little astonished when the clairvoyant saw a little bird confused sitting on a branch, not knowing which way to fly. This sight was essential for Trine's decision to follow her dream of starting a business. Passion for graphic design, interior design and fashion is the nerve in ferm LIVING and the little bird that did not know where to fly found its way and now sits on top of the company logo.

A word from Empellon Taqueria
Open for Lunch, Dinner & Brunch. We opened our doors on March 22nd, 2011 with the intention of treating tacos with a high level of respect and serving them in a fun environment. Which is how I believe tacos should be enjoyed. We designed the menu with the idea that most ingredients worth eating can benefit further by being placed atop a well-made tortilla. We push our kitchen team to explore the ubiquitous flavors that we all love about Mexican cooking in this country as well as the less obvious ones that we all should love. Empellon's approach to cuisine is informed by authenticity but is not limited by it.Continued

- This place rocks solid. The staff rocks solid too!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/24/2014Our stay in NY was worth it for these guys alone :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pluses and minuses: A mixed review!NYCGourmandVIPDined on 11/24/2014Very flavorful range of gourmet toppings (all of 2-3 tablespoons, at most) go on top of open corn tortillas. Those "tacos" are very uniquely spiced and delectable. So far, so good. But at $6-$8 PER TACO and $14 drinks, unless you're a 90-lb model, you will probably hit $75 or $80 or more per person very easily (and yes, that is including two appetizers, 2 rounds of drinks + tax and tip since we all have to pay them). Is that too much for specialty chef Alex Stupak's Mexican food? In my opinion it is, considering what $75, $80 or $85 per person total gets you at other terrific places around the city. Simple solution: Either serve more abundant fish, beef, pork, chicken and mushroom taco toppings or charge less for what is put on the dinner plate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but too noisyDublinlassDined on 11/22/2014Communal tables, loud music lead to a not very relaxing evening. Music should be turned down a little to allow patrons hear each other speak without having to shout over all the noise. Food good thoughSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mediocre food at best, service terribleOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/21/2014The menu was interesting and options were promising but the food came out pretty bland and unmemorable. With all the great choices in NYC, this is one that should be skipped. Plus service at our table was dismal. Would have spent a lot more on drinking had we been given the chance to order.
- OverratedjustmeDined on 11/20/2014I like the idea of a bustling youthful Manhattan foodie spot, but I think that the food was just OK (fancy menu descriptions, mediocre taste) and the place was incredibly cramped. The restaurant seemed to be making plenty of money - enough that they could get rid of a few tables so that the dining room isn't so uncomfortably cramped. I don't want to have dinner with a bunch of strangers. Nobody does. It's rude that I made a reservation and was seated essentially on top of a bunch of other dates. If you want to overcharge me on tacos that have cool names, at least make the experience comfortable.Special Features:
- Friendly and professionalkaykayVIPDined on 11/20/2014Great vibe, welcoming, good food, great margaritas. What's not to like?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Charming Mexican RestaurantJackVIPDined on 11/16/2014This Mexican restaurant in the West Village has a charming atmosphere and food that is both unusual and delicious. The rather small menu is based on inventive tacos, with a number of excellent vegetarian choices. The guacamole and chips are unusually good. Fundido de queso was terrific. Our server was very friendly and helpful.. We had a great time and can't wait to return,.Special Features:
- Excellent mealJackieOVIPDined on 11/13/2014Their customer service is like none I've ever experienced -- beyond excellent. I guess they consider me s frequent diner. I'm not there every week - more like several times a year. Every time I go the management introduces themselves, thanks me for coming back and sends a complementary dish out from the chef. They really make you feel special, like you're part of the family. And the food is excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PaulDined on 11/7/2014We were in a rush to get to a show so we ate quickly, but I look forward to getting back here to try some of their other dishes. Will definitely be back.Special Features:
- LovelyNanaVIPDined on 11/6/2014We liked it a lot. Some of the food had flavours that I've never experienced before - like the shrimp ceviche and passion fruit dessert. They were interesting. The fish tacos and short ribs tacos were great. The skirt steak ones were ok. The guacamole was amazing. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot. Indifferent hostessesMolly5VIPDined on 11/6/2014This is the second time dining here. A funky fun bar scene- back room more quiet. I specifically requested bar area on open table as we dined here previously and it was very fun and vibrant. The girls upfront never even mentioned my request and sat us in back where it is completely opposite of front - quiet and dark. This was a special Occasion and I even reiterated sitting in bar area when I received a confirmation call. Girl who sat us was so very rude. Sat us in back and was very passive aggressive with her comments as I tried to explain my request. Great food and drinks - it's a shame there are such rude and young workers handling the reservations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but a bit complacentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/6/2014Excellent "special" tacos and salsas; decent but unimaginative guacamole with first class chips; fabulous sweetcorn and adequate "green chorizo". A definite four stars for food but disengaged, unfriendly and uninterested service made the meal less than it could have been. Tough to pick better Mex food in NYC though, so maybe worth putting up with the arsey waiter. And if you are a group of pretty girls you won't notice an issue anyway.Special Features:
- great food, mixed serviceBaf1234Dined on 11/3/2014The host, bartender, and people who brought food/cleared were great, but our waiter was impatient, borderline rude and mainly ignored us. He was unhelpful and made our questions seem like we were imposing on him and stupid. Very unfortunate b/c the food and drinks are terrific, and the rest of the service was good. I've been 2-3 times before and would come back, but this waiter made the experience not as good as usual.Special Features:
- Highly RecommendChuckDined on 10/31/2014Service was beyond incredible, vibe was great and food was delicious.Special Features:
- Definitely going backOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/31/2014Fun and energetic atmosphere. Great tacos and even better drinks. Love the bottle of tequila at the table, it was delicious and priced well. Looking forward to round 2.Special Features:
- So-sokaleandgingerDined on 10/31/2014When you've had excellent mexican food, it is always hard to lower expectations. We were coming in with high expectations and left with a sour taste. Not that Empellon Taqueria is bad. Ingredients are fresh, but worse than a bad taste is a dull and boring one.The pork shoulder tacos with pineapple lacked a little something to make the magic happens. A sauce perhaps or spices or herbs. The cocktails. Instead of having 10 types of margaritas, they should have one, but one good. We had cucumber margaritas: they were the worst margaritas we've ever had. Not refreshing at all, heavy in alcohol and not balanced as a cocktail should be to be enjoyable. To sum up, not the best we ve had neither the worst. More trendy than good.Special Features:
- Favorite Mexican in the W VillageNYCAuggieDoggieDined on 10/31/2014Every time I go to Empellon I love it! The staff is incredibly nice and accommodating. Due to the Halloween parade blocking off streets in the West Village part of my party was late and they were extremely understanding and didn't make a fuss about it. Food is always excellent here and they have an amazing margarita selection. This is always my go-to for Mexican in the West Village!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Missing somethingMexicanSnobDined on 10/29/2014I met a few people at this restaurant base on reading good reviews. I was underwhelmed with all aspects of the food. The classic margarita was OK - but most Mexican restaurants have a better one. Between the 4 of us - we had 7 different dishes. The guacamole was the best part of the entire meal. Their salsa's were flavorful - but all pureed. Mexican food to me is about texture and flavor - and all the other dishes were missing both. I like to choose between corn and flour tortillas - in this case we were not offered a choice - corn was provided. I absolutely love queso fundido made with chihuahua cheese. Empellon Taqueria added something else to the dish - and it was not a pleasant addition. I would not go back.
- Pushy to clear tableDinerDined on 10/27/2014As usual, the food and drinks were worth it. While the service staff were friendly and knowledgeable, they were a bit pushy to get us out of there. My companion and I were there for 75 minutes from the time we sat down to the time we left. While spending $100+ on food and drink for two, I did not think that 75 minutes was an unreasonable amount of time. I thought we were there long enough to finish all of the things we ordered. Around the 45 minute mark, the staff began asking if they could clear the visibly unfinished items from the table. This happened 3 times before I stated that I would let them know when we were finished. Consistently great food, but could've been a better experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Tacos EverhungrymonkeyDined on 10/26/2014GREAT TACOS! so inventive and different, and a great cocktail list! They even over delivered on the guac and salsa, it was fantastic! Great meal from start to finishSpecial Features:

- Consistently awesomeElysefishDined on 10/20/2014I come here all the time, and I've never left dissapointed. This place is consistently good in regards to the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The host staff and the managers are a delight as well. My favorite tacos are the Brussels sprouts, the Al Pastor, and the lobster. The quesos are incredible, and the guacamole with all 7 salsas is a must. Love this spot!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One flawOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 10/19/2014Other than an indifferent hostess wonderful as always.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good But NoisyDirnyl60VIPDined on 10/18/2014I find the brunch here to be great - the French Toast is the best anywhere - worth a trip. I have to say that the music is much too loud -- the waiter turned it down during our meal as even he thought it was a bit much. As it is a small restaurant, the level of noise is already pretty high. I do love the sampler of salsas with chips and guacamole -- and the egg dishes are good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Beautiful spotBobbieGDined on 9/27/2014This is a lovely small restaurant. We sat at the bar and ordered interesting drinks. I had wanted to try mescal. Fish tacos were delicious and substantial.

- Fabulous!Freckletrader1Dined on 9/20/2014Fun food! Good crowd! A bit of a scene! Good overall!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was good, service not so muchDubDinesVIPDined on 9/17/2014I've frequented Empellon Taqueria several times since it opened having been a die hard fan of their lobster tacos so I suggested it for a group dinner for 5 to celebrate a friends birthday. The space is nice, albeit the front can get loud, but deceptively large as it expands to a quieter dining room in the back. We were seated, given menus and then waited. And waited. Maybe it was because there was a large loud party of 15+ people next to us, but it took an exceptionally long time to even have our server take our drink order, let alone return w/them, at which point we promptly ordered all our food for fear of her disappearing again. Pros: the guacamole, smoked cashew salsa, tacos, constant chips Cons: friendly but inattentive service
- Delicious!HungrygirlDined on 9/16/2014Had a great meal at Empellon. Everything was delicious, small portions, but fairly priced. Service was very attentive as well. Would go back in a heartbeat.Special Features:

- Dinner With FriendsMarisaBDined on 9/13/2014I'm always down for a good margarita, especially in the West Village. Empellon Taqueria is the perfect place to get a great Mexican cocktail paired with outstanding guacamole and of course, tacos. From the waiter, the service, and the food the overall experience is definitely making me want to come back again.Special Features:
- Mexican with a Fine Dining TwistAJH12065Dined on 9/12/2014Truly unique tacos and margaritas in the heart of Greenwich Village. Food and service were both stellar - don't miss the squash blossom tacos. Also some of the best guacamole, salsas and chips I have ever had. The smoked cashew salsa was particularly awesome. Watch out for drink prices though - at $14 a margarita you can easily spend as much or more on your bar tab as you spend on dinner.Special Features:
- Great food great serviceCr450VIPDined on 9/9/2014The 7 salsas are amazing. My idea of salsa always was a watery tomato, but not at Empellon;all of their salsas were great. Everything else was also delicious. And our waitress rocked!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchLY9087Dined on 9/7/2014I'd been trying to come here for sometime, while the decor & service were wonderful, I wasn't all too impressed with the food. My friend and i got signature drinks, she had the "breakfast margarita," it tasted like any other margarita would. I had the "apricot black tea," & i couldn't taste anything too unique about it. We shared guacamole & two of the salsas, which i definitely recommend and no you don't have to get the two suggested. There's 7 to choose from and i'm sure the rest are great. For the meal i had the Scrambled Eggs Fundido and while its a cool idea (mmm Chorizo) the cheese was more béchamel-ish & took away from the eggs & chorizo. My friend had the Chilaquiles and she said she liked them. I'd give them a 3 out of 5, oh well.Special Features:
- crippynycVIPDined on 8/26/2014Really spectacular fish tacos and mushroom tacos, and absolutely delicious margaritas. Definitely worth a visit. The back dining room is significantly quieter than the front.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Your Average TacobetsybobDined on 8/17/2014Wonderfully inventive food with a Mexican flair. Mix and match for the most intersting tastes. Great Margarietas. Young and vibrant crowd.Special Features:

Laura Gardin, sister of Theresa Fogle, with her husband Jon Gardin as they talk about the shooting that occured in Lakeland, FL. (AP Photo/The Lakeland Ledger, Pierre DuCharme)
LAKELAND, Fla. — As the congregation bowed their heads and prayed, a former church member stormed into the church and opened fire, shooting and wounding the pastor and associate pastor from behind before he was wrestled to the ground.
Earlier, Jeremiah Fogle shot his wife to death at his house, where he had started his own church, authorities and relatives said. They did not know what led to the shootings.
Derrick Foster, a teacher in the ministry, heard the gunfire, then screams and he and another man tackled Fogle.
"The first thing in my mind was, 'I have to take this gun away,'" said Foster, who was among the 20 or so people at the Sunday service at Greater Faith Christian Center Church.
Foster saw the man near the pulpit, turning around with the gun in his hand.
"He had a great grip on the gun," Foster said. "My plan was, as soon as he hit the floor, it would cause him to drop it. But he didn't drop it."
He said it took three or four minutes of struggling with the gunman before he finally wrested the weapon away.
The gunman had six rounds in his pocket. "He was prepared to shoot even more," Sheriff Grady Judd said.
Pastor William Boss and associate pastor Carl Stewart were shot from behind, authorities said. Boss, who was shot in the head, and Stewart, shot three times in the back and ear. They remained hospitalized early Monday. Their conditions were not given.
No one else at the church was hurt.
"Of all the places you should be safe, you should be safe in a house of worship," Judd said. "Especially on a Sunday morning."
As deputies began investigating, a church member advised that they check on Fogle's wife, who lived with him a block away in a neighborhood of mobile homes, humble houses and industrial shops. Investigators and relatives say 56-year-old Theresa Fogle was found slain inside. They were married at Greater Faith in 2002.
"We don't know exactly why he went into this mad rage," Judd said.
Jeremiah Fogle was charged with first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
Theresa Fogle's sister Maria Beauford said the couple ran a transportation business together. They had been members of Greater Faith, but had started their own ministry out of their house and regularly hosted Sunday services, Beauford said.
Beauford said she had never known Jeremiah Fogle to be violent toward her sister. He had been sick over the past year and had back surgery, and Theresa Fogle nursed him back to health, Beauford said. She said her brother-in-law was always smiling at family gatherings.
"We have no idea what his motive was," she said. "We just have no idea."
Jeremiah Fogle's older brother, Collis Fogle Jr., said that the couple seemed to have gotten along well.
"It's so sad," he said. "I've been trying to call to figure out what went wrong."
The Associated Press
Should we ban sticks and stones as well?
Those are what we used to kill each other for thousands of years before guns were invented.
We've banned drugs, and they don't exist anymore, right?
Since "banning" something will ultimately cease its existence, maybe we should ban humans?... they are the autonomous beings responsible for operating all of these inanimate objects of death.... right?
Bret if you can't see the difference you are either willfully ignorant or just plain simple. It wasn't that the shooter thought it was okay to take a gun to church, it was that he thought it was okay to shoot his wife for whatever reason he had.

Chesterton Tribune
Duneland police departments to target drunk driving
If you drink and drive in Duneland beware.
The Northern Porter County Traffic Safety Partnership (NPCTSP)—comprised of
the Chesterton, Porter, Burns Harbor, and Ogden Dunes police departments—is
joining with law enforcement agencies throughout the nation for the "Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign, starting on Friday, Aug. 17 and ending
on Monday, Sept. 3.
This aggressive nationwide impaired driving crackdown will include
high-visibility enforcement, high-profile events, and will be supported by
national paid advertising, creating a comprehensive campaign to curb alcohol
impaired driving in August and through the Labor Day holiday weekend (6 p.m.
Sept. 3- 5:59 a.m. Sept. 7).
The NPCTSF said that its officers will be aggressively looking for impaired
drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving impaired.
It is illegal in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to
drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 grams per deciliter. Despite
these laws, in 2010 more than 10,000 people died in crashes in which a
driver or motorcycle rider was impaired.
"On average there is one alcohol impaired driving-related fatality every 51
minutes across America. But this tragic loss of life can be reduced if we
get impaired drivers off our roadways," said CPD Lt. Dave Lohse. "Research
has shown that high-visibility enforcement like the 'Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over' campaign reduces alcohol-impaired driving fatalities by as much
as 20 percent. By joining this nationwide effort, we will make Duneland's
roadways safer for everyone throughout the Labor Day period."
In 2011, there were 4,938 alcohol-related traffic crashes in Indiana. During
the 2011 Labor Day holiday period (Sept. 2-6), there were 111
alcohol-related crashes in Indiana where only a driver was impaired. During
last year's Labor Day Crackdown, there were 13,465 citations issued, 824
misdemeanor DUIs, and 141 felony DUIs.
Among 18- to 34-year-old drivers killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes
nationwide, during the 2010 Labor Day weekend, 54 percent were
"Obviously we want to remind everyone that it is illegal to drive impaired,
and we hope the campaign will remind people that if they plan on drinking,
to never get behind the wheel," Lohse said. "But if someone does choose to
drive impaired, we will arrest them. No warnings. No excuses."
"Driving impaired is simply not worth the risk. So don't take the chance.
Remember, we will be out in force and we will be watching, so 'Drive Sober
or Get Pulled Over,'" Lohse added.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHT On April 3, 2011, about 1253 Pacific daylight time, an experimental amateur built Tomei Rans S12 XL airplane, N8113N, collided with the ground shortly after takeoff from a private airstrip near Pleasant Grove, California. The certificated sport pilot was fatally injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage, empennage and wing assembly. The airplane was registered to the pilot, and operated under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local flight.A pilot rated witness, who was an acquaintance of the pilot, stated that the airplane landed at the private airstrip about 1150. The witness reported that he and the pilot talked for 30-45 minutes and among other things, discussed flying to another airstrip south of their location as a flight of two. The witness reported that while he was doing a run-up, he watched the accident airplane depart to the northwest. Shortly after takeoff, as the accident airplane reached an altitude between 200 to 300 feet above ground level, it appeared to slow down, bank to the left, and subsequently spiraled to the ground. During a separate conversation, the witness reported that the accident airplane was airborne "a couple of minutes" after the engine was started. TESTS AND RESEARCH The airplane was equipped with a 2-stroke Rotax 582 liquid cooled, 2-cylinder piston engine; serial number 4656067. Engine total time since new was 318.6 hours. Post accident examination of the engine revealed evidence of abnormal piston wear. Mechanical scoring and vertical grooves were noted along the forward (mag) cylinder walls and forward piston skirt. Both piston rings were intact; however, were seized within their ring lands. The associated piston wrist pin, wrist pin bearings and connecting rod were in place with no damage noted. Detailed exam notes are contained in the public docket. A representative of the engine manufacturer reported that the observed cylinder and piston wear and damage signatures was indicative of an in-flight "cold seizure" of the piston; a condition where the piston seizes within the cylinder. The manufacturer's representative stated that this occurs when there is a thermo-imbalance of the piston and cylinder caused by a lack of engine warm-up or excessive temperature coolant difference inlet to outlet on the engine.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In a manufacturer issued Service Information Letter (SIL) dated July 1994, Rotax addressed, in part, the potential for piston seizure. The letter stated in part "...Putting a cold engine to hard work without uniform and correct warm up will cause the piston to expand quicker than the cylinder, minimizing clearance and creating piston scuffing and seizure."

Area jobless rate at 5.8 percent in September
The Fredericksburg-area unemployment rate was 5.8 percent in September, up slightly from the 5.7 percent rate in August but down from where it's been most of the year, according to data out today from the Virginia Employment Commission. There were 9,793 area residents unemployed in September out of a total labor force of 168,735. The area is composed of Fredericksburg and Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties.

Surveillance tech companies should not sell to despots says EU
And U.S. Secrety of State Hillary Clinton warns surveillance companies that their products could be used to breach human rights
Surveillance technology companies have a moral obligation not to sell to repressive regimes, said Europe's Digital Agenda Commissioner on Friday. Her views were echoed by the U.S. Secretary of State who said that companies cannot pretend they don't know what their technology is used for in countries like Syria and Iran.
"Every actor, public and private, must take up their responsibilities. Companies should be transparent about the technology they are selling in certain countries. If technology is used by certain repressive governments to identify innocent citizens and put their life or freedom in danger, we ought to know," said European Commissioner Neelie Kroes, speaking at the iFreedom conference on Internet freedom in The Hague, Netherlands.
Kroes is concerned that despotic governments can use information and communication technologies as tools of surveillance and repression and as means to track and spy on those defending human rights. "In such areas, we can react with legal measures such as sanctions, as we have done in the case of Syria. But, for me, this is not just a legal issue, it is a moral issue. I think it is high time for the industry to decide where they stand, and what they are going to do. If not as a moral issue, then as an issue of corporate reputation: being known for selling despots the tools of their repression is, to say the least, bad PR," she said, according to a transcript of her speech.
However in a letter to the Wall Street Journal, Tatiana Lucas, world program director for think-tank Intelligence Support Systems said that this issue "makes U.S. manufacturers gun-shy about developing, and eventually exporting, anything that can remotely be used to support government surveillance".
"We expect that most countries outside the U.S. and Western Europe will begin to place intercept mandates on social networks, especially following the Arab Spring. This would give U.S. companies an opportunity to develop such tools and thus create jobs," Lucas said. "Additionally, in some countries U.S. companies are already refusing to provide intercept support and are banned from doing business. But Chinese equivalents, with lawful-intercept features, crop up in their absence. Like it or not, many countries will adopt the Chinese model, leaving U.S. companies and job growth behind."
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, also speaking at the conference in The Hague, took issue with this point of view. "When companies sell surveillance equipment to the security agency of Syria or Iran, there can be no doubt it will be used to violate rights," she said, according to a transcript of her speech.
"In China, several dozen companies signed a pledge in October, committing to strengthen their 'self-management, self-restraint, and strict self-discipline.' Now, if they were talking about fiscal responsibility, we might all agree. But they were talking about offering web-based services to the Chinese people, which is code for getting in line with the government's tight control over the internet," Clinton continued. "When ideas are blocked, information deleted, conversations stifled, and people constrained in their choices, the internet is diminished for all of us."
However, echoing a statement from the Council of Europe on Thursday, both Kroes and Clinton said that ICT can also help fight for human rights: "Across the world, information and communications technology can support freedom of speech and enable the peaceful transition to democracy. It is clear that, in particular, mobile phones, online social networks and microblogging sites have an incredibly important role to play," Kroes said.

CJ Parker
Real Name
Joe Robinson
Date of Birth
November 30, -0001
Place of Birth
A video of the Great Khali wrestling CJ Parker in WWE NXT. The former world heavyweight champion has been given time off from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, so it was interesting that he made an appearance in developmental.
April 19, 2014
When WWE announced the arrival of the Slam City cartoon series earlier this week, only guys from the main rosters were included as characters. A fan decided to go the extra step by drawing Sasha Banks, Camacho, Mojo Rawley and CJ Parker as characters for the show. Management has no intentions of including WWE NXT stars as of this moment, though.
March 22, 2014
The Great Khali made his return to the ring this week by working a match against CJ Parker at the WWE NXT taping. Prior to that, he had not worked a match since Royal Rumble 2014. The belief is that the former world heavyweight champion is going to be given a spot at Wrestlemania 30 in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal.
March 16, 2014
Those that watch WWE NXT saw a character named Finn Balor making his debut this week by being the mystery partner for Hideo Itami in his feud against the Ascension. That is pretty big news for fans of international wrestling. Balor was formerly known as Prince Devitt, a star in New Japan for a very long time. Itami is Kenta Kobayashi, one of the better performers in all of Asia.
November 7, 2014
WWE has been struggling to figure out what they want to do with Bray Wyatt lately, so the character has pretty much been forced into the background. Rumors have recently surfaced that management is going to bring up the Ascension, a tag team consisting of Conor OBrian and Rick Victor, from WWE NXT to form a new stable with Wyatt. The duo would replace Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
October 7, 2014
Reports have surfaced that Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi are going to be promoted to the main roster very soon. The two of them are established international stars, and management is not going to have them languishing in the developmental program. WWE knows that the promotion might upset some of the guys that have been in WWE NXT for a while, but it is a move that they want to do.
September 30, 2014
Not a lot of details were provided when Ric Flair was forced to miss a WWE NXT show to have surgery. Jim Ross has revealed some details on that procedure. The longtime commentator stated that Flair had an appendicitis attack, and when doctors went in there to repair the damage, they discovered a hernia, so they repaired that as well. No word yet on when Flair will be returning to WWE television.
September 18, 2014
Earlier this month, it was revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25,000 a year. It has now been discovered that the amount is only for the male performers. The divas in WWE NXT, such as Ashley Flair, Bayley and Sasha Banks, are paid $50,000 a year, which is twice as much. The reasoning behind that is because management feels that the girls have more expenses in maintaining their looks.
September 18, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Ric Flair had to be pulled from the WWE NXT show. The exact reason has now been discovered. The former world heavyweight champion was in the hospital this week for some minor surgeries. No word yet on what those procedures were for, but none of it was life threatening. Flair is expected to be back with WWE after he recovers.
September 15, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that a couple of the WWE NXT performers have been booked for upcoming episodes of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Some further details have now been reported. Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze are only booked for a couple of weeks, while Adrian Neville, who is currently the heavyweight champion in developmental, is scheduled until the end of October.
September 14, 2014
Last week, wrestling fans were dazzled by Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd during a tag team match on Monday Night Raw. You can expect more of that in the near future, as the WWE NXT stars are being booked for more television appearances. Reports have surfaced that Triple H is the one pushing management to feature the developmental wrestlers more frequently.
September 13, 2014
If you watched WWE NXT Takeover last night, you know that Tyler Breeze failed to win the heavyweight championship. However, management might have something better for him. Reports have surfaced that Breeze is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster, where the cocky character will be joining the entourage of the Miz, which already features Damien Sandow.
September 12, 2014
Originally, Ric Flair was scheduled to make an appearance at WWE NXT tonight at the Takeover 2 event. The former world heavyweight champion was supposed to introduce Kenta Kobayashi to the fans as a way to accelerate the fan support for the Japanese star. However, it has now been revealed that Flair has canceled on the appearance due to some sort of personal issue.
September 11, 2014
During a recent interview, Sami Zayn revealed that Antonio Cesaro actually made the request to management to go down to WWE NXT and work there. Zayn explained that the motive behind the move was to let certain people backstage see what he was capable of since it is harder to get the spotlight on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. According to Zayn, Triple H was really impressed with what he saw in Cesaro.
September 11, 2014
There are rumors floating around that a title change could be taking place in WWE NXT very soon. Bayley might be given the women's title during the middle part of September. Reports are floating around that Ashley Flair is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster in about a month, so she would need to drop the belt to someone else in developmental.
August 28, 2014
Rumors have persisted over the last several months that Kevin Steen was set to sign a developmental contract with WWE. It looks to be official now, as the former ROH champion has posed for a picture with Triple H while wearing a WWE NXT shirt. The belief is that he will be focusing more on his weight and physique than actually training for the in ring stuff.
August 12, 2014
During a recent interview, Triple H revealed some interesting things about Bray Wyatt. He stated that WWE was on the verge of giving him a release a while back. HHH said he was able to convince management to let him work on a new character and test it out on WWE NXT. Things worked out rather well, and Wyatt was eventually promoted to the main roster.
August 7, 2014
In the previous generation, Sean Waltman was the benchmark when it comes to fans giving him heat because they legitimately resented the performer. It looks like Eva Marie is going to be taking that mantle now. During a recent appearance at a WWE NXT live event, the red haired diva was treated rather rudely by the audience. Things became even worse after she put on a very sub par performance as well.
July 19, 2014
Triple H might be downplaying his arrival to the developmental program, but Kenta Kobayashi is far from a regular new performer joining WWE. Internally, he is being viewed as a major marketing asset as the company is hoping to expand its reaches in Japan. A television network has already agreed to air WWE NXT since Kobayashi will be featured on those shows. The Japanese star is also set to help promote the WWE Network when it expands overseas.
July 17, 2014
Even though the mask has been designed and ordered, it looks like Tyson Kidd might not be doing that gimmick after all. Some were pushing for him to receive a new character and push on the main roster because of his long tenure with WWE. However, others are against the idea and want him to remain in WWE NXT to work with the developmental wrestlers.
June 12, 2014
Since 2011, Camacho has worked just one match on Smackdown. During that time, he was not utilized in a match on Monday Night Raw at all. He recently was sent down to WWE NXT to work as a veteran presence on those shows. Today, though, saw the end of his tenure with the company. WWE has given Camacho his release. His tag team partner Hunico still remains on the roster.
June 12, 2014
While his character quit WWE on Monday Night Raw this week, Batista is still very much working with the company. The former world heavyweight champion will still be making an appearance at a WWE NXT event later on this month. Afterwards, he is expected to take off for a couple of months to do promote Guardians of the Galaxy and film another movie.
June 4, 2014
During the latest WWE NXT show, an interesting injury was revealed. Adrian Neville had four teeth knocked out of his mouth during a backstage segment with Brodus Clay, who has been down in developmental for several months now. Neville had dental surgery to repair the teeth and now wears a mouth guard during matches to prevent further damage.
May 31, 2014
Yesterday, news broke out that Tough Enough was being brought back and being aired on the WWE Network. Now, some details are swirling around. Rumors have it that the company will be filming the series at the WWE Performance Center. Some of the lesser known developmental wrestlers like CJ Parker, Sylvester Lefort and Travis Tyler are also rumored to be a part of the show as well.
May 2, 2014
A message on Twitter from CJ Parker, where the WWE developmental wrestler expressed shocked at Brock Lesnar defeating the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30. His sentiments were shared by millions of professional wrestling fans, who believed that Undertaker was going to be able to retire with the winning streak in tact.

WASHINGTON - Warm weather is here -- just ask people who suffer from migraine headaches.
"More patients feel worse in the summer than in the winter, particularly in this area where the humidity is very high in the summertime," says Dr. Jessica Ailani, director of the Headache Center at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
But Ailani says scientific studies conflict over whether heat, humidity, low barometric pressure and stormy weather increase the instances of migraines.
"One study says low barometric pressure triggers headache another study says high barometric pressure triggers headaches," Aliani says.
Regardless of the research, migraine patients who suffer splitting headaches seem confident as to what's causing them.
"More than half of our patients come in and they can tell us, 'It has been a bad week with the weather because my headaches have been terrible,'" Ailani says.
At Washington Adventist Hospital, neurologist Dr. Amir Zangiabadi points to research that indicates the risk of migraine rises 7.5 percent for every 9 degree jump in the temperature.
Zangibadi blames warm temperatures which can slow the function of the brain's neurotransmitters -- triggering migraines.
"I would say the neurons need perfect temperature to work, properly," Zangibadi says.
"It's an interesting theory," Ailani says.
"Is it very possible that heat can induce a migraine because it's changing the way that the neurotransmitters are working and the way the brain is firing? It is possible," Ailani says.
Neurologists say many things can causer migraines including stress, eating and sleeping habits and hormones.
Zangibadi says he's seen studies that identify air pollution as a potential migraine trigger.
For individuals who feel their migraines are worse in the warm weather, Ailani recommends trying to keep cool, stay indoors and drink cool fluids.
Zangibadi adds that migraine sufferers should steer clear of soda, tea and coffee.

Information about the end of AKO email access for retirees and family members
Secretary of the Army John McHugh signed a memo in April 2013 to begin transitioning Army Knowledge Online to next-generation enterprise services and to meet increased security requirements. The Army transitioned its 1.4 million official business users to DoD Enterprise E-mail (DEE) and will no longer sustain legacy AKO infrastructure.
Army retirees and family members need to transition from AKO email to commercially available personal email accounts. AKO recently enabled these users to forward AKO email to a commercial address.
After access to AKO email ends, the Army will close all retiree and family member AKO email accounts and delete all stored email. AKO will continue to forward e-mail until Dec. 31, 2014 for those users who enable this function.
To ensure continued email service, retirees and family members should:
- Obtain an email address from a commercial service (e.g., .com or .net accounts).
- Access all accounts and memberships currently using the AKO email address, such as myPay accounts, and update them with the new commercial address. (The Army uses the email address in the myPay account as the official retiree contact.)
- Save messages, contacts, and files to a personal computer by downloading them from AKO email. To do this, first create an IMAP account in Outlook for your AKO email address (instructions here: https://ako.us.army.mil/suite/doc/41665914). Then create .pst files of the information you want to save (instructions here: https://esd-crm.csd.disa.mil/app/answers/detail/a_id/507/kw/pst).
- Obtain a premium DS Logon account. This account allows access to personal benefits records and claims on DOD and Department of Veterans Affairs Web sites. Instructions for creating a DS Logon account are here: https://ako.us.army.mil/suite/doc/41665910
For additional information, visit AKO's Migration Page for Retirees and Family Members at https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/682479.
As part of IT management reform, Secretary of the Army John McHugh signed a memo in April 2013 to begin transitioning Army Knowledge Online to next-generation enterprise services. The changes will occur over several years.
"To achieve the anticipated financial economies, efficiencies, and security improvements, the Army must modernize current Army Knowledge Online infrastructure and services to become more interoperable across DOD and compliant with emerging joint information environment architectures; and implement current best practices for cloud-based managed services," McHugh wrote in the memo.
The Army established Army Knowledge Online (AKO) in the late 1990s to provide online information services for U.S. Army personnel, later extending some AKO services to retirees and family members. Services have included email, collaboration, discussion forums, a directory, and direct access to many DOD and Veterans Affairs (VA) websites.
The Army is now modernizing the AKO infrastructure and services to become more interoperable across DOD and to the goals that Secretary McHugh detailed in his memo.
The transition follows the Army's successful migration of 1.4 million email accounts to DOD Enterprise Email in July 2013. The next phase includes enterprise services for collaboration, content management, and unified capabilities (including chat, presence, voice and video over IP) - all of which draw upon the authoritative identity service that underpins Enterprise Email.
All Army business processes will move off the current AKO platform onto next-generation enterprise services over the course of several years. Only business users will have access to enterprise services. Army military retirees and family members will continue to have access to DOD online self-service sites like Tricare and MyPay through DOD Self-Service Logon (DS Logon).
The Army is developing a transition timeline for AKO services and accounts - to include military and civilian retirees and Army family members. Details will be published in an upcoming Army execution order.
In the meantime, it is important to note that Army inactive retiree and family AKO email accounts will be removed this Spring. Affected are those accounts that have not had a password change in over 90 days and are not set to automatically forward email. The Army will also remove email storage for active retiree and family member accounts at the same time. To avoid disruptions to communications and personal accounts, retirees should take the following steps as soon as possible:
- Obtain a personal email address from a civilian provider.
- Replace AKO email addresses in all personal accounts – especially myPay accounts at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
- Obtain a premium DS Logon account. This account allows access to personal benefits records and claims on DOD and Department of Veterans Affairs websites. See the DS Logon article on the next page for more information.
- Download important emails and files to a personal computer.
Additionally, family members will have several options: (1) Your military sponsor can request an account for you; (2) when getting a military ID card, ask for a DS Logon account; or (3) request an account at a TRICARE Service Center.

Farrell, Dr. Nicholas
Program director
(804) 828-6320
Chemical Biology, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
of entry:
Mar 15
Nov 15
Admission requirements for the Ph.D. in Chemical Biology are similar to those for other doctoral programs at the university. Acceptance is based upon undergraduate performance, satisfactory scores on the GRE and letters of recommendation. In addition to the general requirements for admission to graduate programs in the Graduate School and admission requirements for the College of Humanities and Sciences, students are required to have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with 30 semester credits in chemistry or biology. These credits should consist of at least two semesters of organic chemistry and a biology course in cell biology, molecular biology or genetics. A physical chemistry course is desirable. Further requirements include a satisfactory GPA score of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale; satisfactory GRE scores (must be less than five years old); a written statement of the candidate's goals; and three letters of recommendation. Proficiency in spoken and written English is mandatory. For international students, satisfactory scores on the TOEFL exam are necessary. The university minimum TOEFL score is 550 (paper-based) and 213 (computer-based). Scores must be current (within two years). Students may be admitted as degree-seeking or, if applicants have outstanding potential, but lack specific requirements, they may be accepted as provisional. Graduate students in the program may receive financial support via teaching or research assistantships or fellowships available from the "home" department. Provisionally accepted students must complete all conditions within one year of enrollment. No part-time students are accepted at this time.
Students entering in the spring semester may begin to take courses and rotations to fulfill requirements but must take CHEB 601 and 602 in sequence.
Candidates for degrees are eligible for graduation upon completion of all academic requirements in effect at the time of their first registration, provided the students are continuously enrolled and provided the requirements are met within the specified time frame. Degrees are granted at the close of the semester or summer session in which students complete their work.

Absolutely crazy insane delicious. I didn't bother with making a pie crust. A Pillsbury fresh frozen one worked just fine. The Mojo sauce had mixed reviews in the family. I didn't care for it but the hubby thought it was ok and the daughter liked it. In addition, I used a pulled pork from a tub that had a very light, mild and sweet bbq sauce to it. I also used a bit more swiss cheese -- ok we like cheese. We didn't bother with the tomato and pickle decoration either. It smelled so good and look so good coming out of the oven there was no time for that. Enjoy! It's awesome!

Amanda Shell has had the creative bug her whole life. The Roscoe Village artist began her mural business by painting murals in nursing homes to assist in offering creative and dignified ways to re-direct those living with dementia while adding beauty and pizzazz to the nursing home environment. Soon people who saw these murals asked for creative murals in their own homes and children's rooms ... and thus, in 2000, whirleygirl designs was born!
