- not impressed, good for a casual client lunchDallasfoodguyDined on 11/21/2014The food had no flavor, and was cold. Should have know the experience was not going to be that great based off us being the only table on a Friday night. Our server was really nice though.
- Beautiful ArtistryLSCHADined on 11/13/2014The moment you walk into Dallas Chop house an obvious display of a fine dinning experience greets you. Every inch of the design of this restaurant is outstanding and well thought out. Quiet..area for groups.. and you do not hear the bar crowd. Bar crowd was having fun with live music btw. The floor manager never stops moving quietly through the room to make sure each table is being waited on. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The food itself from the display to multiple layers of flavor... genius. Dallas at its bestSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Presentation - PriceypriceybeefDined on 11/6/2014Great service - nice table settings and utensils - however the pricing for the over all experience was entirely too much for the experience. End result - was not worth the 80.00 plates that were served. We chose the 21 day aged prime rib - great flavor - and presentation - but the expense was not to match the quality - too over pricey!Special Features:
- Open Table IssueOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/13/2014The restaurant called me a day before my reservation to cancel it due a fire in their kitchen. Trying to book a replacement reservation through Open Table became a major issue. Your website keep telling me to contact the restaurant to cancel my reservation. Your website would not allow me to book another reservation because my original reservation is still active. I ended up making reservations outside of Open Table. I hope you'll fix this problem.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Weekclassylil05VIPDined on 8/11/2014We, my husband and I, went here as our first stop for Restaurant Week. Each course was amazing. The wine list was extensive and impressive. We enjoyed ourselves. We only spent a total of $120, which was a pretty good deal for the caliber of food and service. We will be coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great service and good foodDJN1Dined on 8/9/2014My husband and I went to the Chop House for the preview period of Restaurant Week and our 34th wedding anniversary. The great service started with one of the managers stopping by to introduce herself. She checked on us throughout the meal. The food was great. My husband had an appetizer of steak tartar and I had cucumber gazpacho, both great choices. For our main course I had Prime Rib and my husband had a Pork Chop, both beautifully presented and very flavorful. We ended with chocolate lava cake and espresso brûlée, delicious! Thanks for a great evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good restaurantAlfonsoDined on 8/8/2014Great food overall, except for the desserts that were lacking the refinement and good flavor of the rest of the plates. The waiter seemed reluctant to offer and serve the special Restaurant Weekend Prix Fixe, so we had to ask it and his reaction was quite unpleasant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Dont get the cheese tray!tmarieDined on 7/12/2014We were not terribly hungry so we ordered the lobster bisque, Italian wedge and the cheese tray to share between the two of us. The cheese tray was not appetizing at all. The bread had garlic butter on it that was overpowering. The prosciutto was sliced too thick. On a positive note, the bisque and wedge were fabulous!Special Features:

- Poor experience!sjhavInVIPDined on 7/3/2014I have been to this place many times but the experience on 7/3 left a sour taste. The servers and staff just did not seem interested in working that evening. The food is excellent so I cannot ding them for that but the staffs lack of attentiveness cannot be forgiven and forgotten that easily. The restaurant cut staff early since it was not busy and I felt rushed.Special Features:

- Overpriced, mediocre steakJleefoodieDined on 6/27/2014The service was excellent and we had a very attentive, knowledgable server. My husband and I both ordered steak - he had the ribeye and I had the filet. We were expecting melt in your mouth, super tender steak and instead it was tough and lacking flavor. For the price, I would honestly not go back. I would instead choose to go buy my steak at whole foods and cook it at home. Nice place overall, very friendly staff, romantic place to dine on a special occasion. Steak is overrated and overpriced.Special Features:
- RizzlettDined on 6/14/2014Food, service, wine list were all excellent. My husband and I both had the 8oz filet each of which was cooked perfectly. I had the Oscar style and he had the Au poirve. We were both in heaven. The sides we shared were also wonderful - roasted brussel sprouts and steak fries. Overall it was a wonderful dining experience and we both recommend DCH.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

If I hadn't gone to Perry's steakhouse the next day I would've been a great experience now I would have to say it's very good. Since it's near some of the hotel I frequent women town I would have to say that I would go back and will enjoy it. Girlfriend had steak I had the baked chicken and it was all very tasty. The crème brûlée for dessert was very tasty. Again, a very solid dining experience and I would strongly recommend.Special Features:

- 3rd Time is a CharmDiverdan45Dined on 5/17/2014I live in Chicago, but have had 3 occassions to be in Dallas in the past year. The Dallas Chop House was recommended to me for a special evening and it was perfect. I returned with other guests a second time and just this past Saturday night had a celebration dinner with the new President of our Association, his wife, the program chairman and our meeting planner and me. As in the previous two occasions, the service, ambience, and food were outstanding. I love your wine list and was able to introduce my guests to one of my favorite Cabs, which they had never had before, but took photos of the bottle to be able to buy it for themselves at a later date. A large, noisy party came in just as we left, so was glad we were leaving.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Table for ten treated well!TravelingDinerDined on 5/13/2014We were a large group but they handled it perfectly. They gave great recommendations, handled a miscooked steak by recoiling it and taking it off the bill and were super attentive. The steaks were great as was the meat/cheese plate appetizer we had. The sides are smaller than typical steakhouse sides and are more large single servings that big servings meant to share.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great choice for office lunchKarinw83Dined on 5/5/2014We were having a baby shower for a small office group of 8. I made a reservation for lunch on line and was pleased when we arrived to be in a separate room where we could hear each other talk and enjoy the moment. Service was attentive but not overly so and food was good. Overall a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent- not a typical steakhouseRosie522Dined on 4/30/2014Dallas Chop House is outstanding. They have several wonderful appetizers. I especially like the Hawaiian Bigeye tuna and the steak tartare. Their steaks are superb and cooked to perfection. Other favorites are the brussels sprouts and the spicy crawfish side was amazing as well if you like spicy food. The service, wine selection and cocktails were also very good. It was a great great experience and I highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- nice but not special for steakhouseBusterVIPDined on 4/11/2014Getting downtown can be a bit tricky with all the road construction. Once inside, several choices for dining rooms. Go for a small, quiet room, otherwise the bar noise makes it difficult to visit. Don't trust the sample menu on Opentable; it doesn't match with what restaurant currently is offering. Steaks were OK but nothing special. The best thing was the wine list - it was not overpriced. Large portions for the vegetable side dishes. Glad I went but won't be going back; there are better steak houses in Dallas.
- Raw SalmonDallas4925Dined on 4/2/2014I was very impressed with the look and feel of the Dallas Chophouse when we arrived for our lunch. However, the food left something to be desired. My salmon was severely undercooked to the point where I couldn't eat it, and my colleagues steak was chewy. Despite the nice ambiance, I was underwhelmed by the food. I probably will not revisit this place, as there are much better steakhouses in the area.
- Automatic GratuityDanBVIPDined on 4/1/2014We had a party of 6, received mediocre service and at the end discovered an automatic 20% gratuity - if it was posted on the menu or any other place - I certainly did not see it, but it explains the service, The food was overpriced, but very good, I don't see myself ever going back, there are too many great places that have the service to match.Special Features:
- LackingreviewDined on 4/1/2014Service was amazingly slow. Once everyone was served but one, it was a good five minutes before the last diner was served. We had so many different people wait on us, we had no idea who to speak with. Then our desserts were all wrong. What was presented to us as Sorbet was Vanilla Ice Cream. They continued to say the "kitchen" assures us it is Sorbet. Not right. You can call it that but it was not Sorbet. The price is too high for the quality. And its so loud in there you can't even hear the person next to you. I will not go back.
- won't be going backJosephDined on 3/27/2014kept making excuses for their shortcomings each time we went, but enough is enough. Way too expensive for what you get. (GEE, I MISS CHARLIE PALMER'S!!!) Rosemary was in and on everything without warning, from the butter to the baked garlic to the steak sauce to the vegetables. so if you don't like rosemary, just that one thing ruins even the best steak. And then there was the steady murmur of someone giving a speech that was coming from the wall beside me that the staff said they couldn't hear and didn't even try to find or stop it. It's really convenient for us, but way too much money to spend and leave irritated everytime.
- Very LoudxxxxxxxDined on 3/26/2014It was so loud that you needed to make an effort to follow up a conversation.I would recommend this to a friend.

Global competition, re-engineered product life cycles, mass customization, and the increased need to respond quickly to customer needs are just some of the more pronounced trends currently driving organizational change (Grenier & Metes, 1995; Miles & Snow, 1986; Miles & Snow, 1992). An organizations growth and profitability is largely due to the strategies of globalization. Firms developing products with global applications must build competencies to connect and leverage knowledge on a worldwide basis (Bartlett and Ghoshal, 1998). In several industries product development is a crucial ingredient and therefore factors such as cost of development, cycle time and increased productivity are key drivers for market share and profitability. Product development is an expensive process particularly in the engineering and technology intensive segments. Technological advances have enabled many companies to assemble teams of employees from across the country or around the world into global teams to solve complex organizational problems (Lipnack and Stamps, 1997). Such teams are sometimes temporary, culturally diverse, geographically dispersed, and electronically communicating collections of individuals (Kristof, Brown, Sims, and Smith, 1995). These teams allow organizations to increase efficiency and effectiveness by tapping the knowledge, skills, and expertise of employees around the globe, increasing opportunities for information or knowledge exchange through expanded social networks (Wellman 1996). A large amount of investment is spent in human resources and hence ways to optimize the spending by leveraging global resources, directly helps the bottom line (Govindarajan & Gupta 2001). Models that could be used to understand better team development and effectiveness have been limited to those based on the traditional colocated group perspective. Theory development and empirical research are needed to help managers better understand and respond to the challenges that global teams face (Furst, Blackburn & Rosen, 1999). A literature review conducted found though team effectiveness has been fairly well researched the extension of the topic and as applied to global teams remains a gap. This study attempts to understand team effectiveness and its relevance when applied to a global team in a product development environment. The study involves developing a suitable model and understanding the causal relationships between the identified factors and explains the model based on the findings. Review of Literature The study reviewed a vast amount of literature relating to teams and small workgroups and summarized findings under; Team Definition, Team Types and Nature, Team Composition, Task Design, Team Development, Team Processes, Organizational Context and Global Teams. The literary review suggests that though research is steadily increasing, empirical studies on performance and effectiveness are limited. There has been very few studies on effectiveness as applied to global teams. Literature review on the subject of global teams, suggests that these teams, face even greater challenges because of their geographical separation, diverse cultures, and language. The study identified factors as applicable to global team effectiveness based on previous studies and calibrates them with findings in general team and workgroup study. The study considers Task design, Team composition, and Organizational context factors and attempts to empirically determine causal relationships with Team Processes and Team Effectiveness. Objectives and Methodology The objectives of the study are as follows: 1 To develop and validate a conceptual model that explains global team effectiveness in a product development environment. 2 To establish relationship between team design, team composition, knowledge management context and senior management context towards global team effectiveness in a product development environment. 3 To illustrate the application of the validated model and relationships for developing interventions to enhance effectiveness in a product development environment through a qualitative case study. The methodology adopted was to study contemporary team effectiveness models from literature and get an understanding of the key variables and factors that influence effectiveness. Next, based on prior studies on global teams, a model was developed using an established effectiveness model and extended it to global teams. The main study comprised of analyzing responses from 376 participants from 64 projects working together as global teams. The conceptual model developed consists of two key factors measuring effectiveness namely; Product Development Effectiveness and Team Process Effectiveness. The enabling factors, that are called as 'global factors' in the study that influence effectiveness in the model are; Team Design and Composition, Senior Management Context and Knowledge Management Context. Measures defining each factor were developed, refined and checked for reliability and validity. The factor analysis conducted suggested that Product development effectiveness variables include; Schedule compliance, Functional completeness, Product Quality, Cost compliance and Innovative Problem solving. Team Process effectiveness includes; Internal motivation in the team, Looking forward to team challenges, Willingness to share Knowledge, Conflict resolution, Openness to Learning and Quality team interaction. Similarly, factor analysis suggests Task design and team composition be combined as Team Design and Composition. The variables included are; Clear Goals, Well defined output or deliverable, Use of Judgment, Adequate skill sets (Technical, Functional, Program Management and Diversity) and Right size. Knowledge Management Context variables following factor analysis are; Knowledge management practice, Perceived importance of knowledge management, adequate infrastructure and Existent reward system. Senior Management context variables are; Global Senior management support, Management review support and Easy information flow. In order to achieve the objectives of the study a detailed Structural Equation Modeling using Partial Least Squares method was conducted. The measurement model and structural model was assessed, path coefficients studied, moderating effects studied and model evaluated for goodness of fit. In addition, an in depth case study is conducted and the model is applied in a practical scenario. Results and Discussion The study suggests the importance of global teams in a product development environment. This is particularly so as distance, time, culture and technology interface make it all the more important for global teams to have means of measuring effectiveness. It is also necessary to have an understanding of the enabling factors aiding effectiveness. The study suggests a model for measuring effectiveness in global teams involved in product development as; Meeting milestones and timely delivery of the output, Meeting product functional and technical requirements, Quality of output delivered, Cost and budget targets and Innovative problem solving are typical measurements of effectiveness. The model encourages using Team Process Effectiveness as a measure and suggests it has a moderating influence it has on Product Development Effectiveness. The Team Process Effectiveness measures are; Internal motivation amongst members within the team, Identifying if the team looks forward to challenges, Willingness to share knowledge with each other, Resolving conflicts within the team in a positive manner, Openness to learning and Quality team interaction. The model developed indicates that all paths defined and relationships are positive and the model is structurally valid. As hypothesized, factors, Team Design and Composition, Knowledge Management Context and Senior Management Context has significant relationship with Team Process Effectiveness. Further, Team Process Effectiveness has positive causal relationship with Product Development Effectiveness. Knowledge Management Context and Senior Management Context have a significant and positive relationship with Team Process Effectiveness. The study confirms the moderating influence Team Process Effectiveness has on Team Design and Composition, Senior Management context, Knowledge Management Context with Product Development Effectiveness. The in depth case study on a department of 75 members of product development global teams provided the insight into the empirical analysis, strengthened it and helped understand several other aspects of global teams. Conclusion The study provided an in-depth understanding of global team effectiveness by reviewing literature and identifying variables that influence global teams in a product development environment. A model was developed, empirically validated and tested. The model includes effectiveness factors and enabling factors and relationship between factors have been explained. A case study spanning a period of five years on a global team involved in product development was conducted and the model applied in practice. This study suggests that the model can be used by organizations and practicing managers for understanding, developing and leading global teams involved in product development. 2013-06-03T18:30:00Z Topics In Demand management http://hdl.handle.net/2005/1042 Title: Topics In Demand management Authors: Amit, R K Abstract: This thesis is divided into two parts. Part I deals with demand management. For goods with no substitutes, under supply constraints, fairness considerations introduce negative externalities and lead to a market failure. One example of such a good with no substitutes is water. In case of a market failure, it is necessary to design coordination mechanisms called contracts which provide the right incentives for coordination. As "repetition can yield coordination", the aim in this part is to design price based dynamic demand management contracts which, under supply constraints, mitigate the market failure. In these contracts, we consider complete information settings; and use the status quo proposition as a fairness criterion for designing them. The contracts are designed as almost noncooperative dynamic games, within the agency theory framework, where the agent (the consumer) is induced to consume at a specified consumption level based on the incentive mechanism offered by the principal (the producer). These contracts use the solution concept of sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium (SPNE) to compute the price (mal-incentive) that acts as a credible threat for deviation from the specified consumption level. In these contracts, unlike the dynamic contracts with asymmetric information, the penalty for deviation is proportional to the amount of deviation. First, we consider a two-period demand management contract for a single consumer satisfying the status quo proposition. Under the assumption that the gain to the consumer and the loss to the producer by deviation is small, the contract is shown to be economically efficient. It is shown that, in the finite horizon, a fair demand management contract cannot be efficient. The demand management contract is homeomorphic to finite horizon alternating bargaining model. In the finite horizon alternating bargaining model, there is a unique SPNE, in which the player who offers last is always at an advantageous position. In the two-period contract, the assumption considered attenuates the last mover advantage and leads to the efficiency. We have shown that one possible way to achieve efficiency, without the assumption, is to make the agents uncertain about the period of interaction. This possibility can be included in an infinite horizon contract. Hence, next, we design an infinite horizon contract for a single consumer. It is proved that this contract is economically efficient and provides revenue sufficiency. The sensitivity analysis of the contract shows that the discounting rate measures the aversion to conservation characteristics of the consumer. The analysis of the contract shows that a sufficiently time-patient consumer is not penalized for the deviation, as the consumer himself is aware of conservation requirements. This result is similar to the results for the present-biased preferences in behavioral economics. Lastly, the infinite horizon contract is extended to two consumers case which internalizes the externality a consumer causes to another. In the two consumer case, consumers are strategically noninteracting; and it is shown that the producer acts as a budget balancer. These contracts are also shown to be economically efficient. The demand management contracts achieve both the procedural and end-state fairness. Also, the infinite horizon contracts are homeomorphic to infinite horizon alternating bargaining model. The efficiency of infinite horizon contracts is due to their homeomorphism with the alternating bargaining process as they exhaust all possible mutual gains from exchange. In the two-period model, the bargaining process is constrained and hence all possible mutual gains are not eliminated, leading to the inefficiency. In part II of the thesis, we discuss the notions of exchangeability in the Shapley value. The Shapley value is a probabilistic value for the transferable utility (TU) cooperative games, in which each player subjectively assigns probabilities to the events which define their positions in the game. In this part, the objective have been to explore the aspect of subjective probability which leads to the uniqueness of the Shapley value. This aspect of subjective probability is known as exchangeability. We derive the Shapley value using de Finetti's theorem. We also show that, in the Shapley value, each player's prospects of joining a t-player game as the last member of the game is a moment sequence of the uniquely determined uniform distribution. We stress on finite exchangeability; and deduce that, with finite exchangeability, the Shapley value is the only value in which the probability assignment is a unique mixture of independent and identical distributions. It is concluded that, in both the finite and infinite exchangeable cases, the uniqueness of probability assignment in the Shapley value is due to exchangeability and the mixing with the uniform distribution. 2011-02-01T18:30:00Z A Theoretical Model And Empirical Analysis Of Components Of Spread In Over The Counter Exchange Of India http://hdl.handle.net/2005/267 Title: A Theoretical Model And Empirical Analysis Of Components Of Spread In Over The Counter Exchange Of India Authors: Rao, Jyothi G Abstract: Over the Counter Exchange of India (OTCEI) was established in 1992 mainly to provide a platform for small and medium sized companies to raise money for their capital requirements. It is a well defined dealer market with market makers giving bid and ask quotes. It was established with state-of-the art technology with ringless, scripless trading. In this study, we develop a theoretical model to decompose spread into its three components in a dealer market. This model is further empirically examined by using OTCEI data. We find that Inventory holding cost to be the highest on OTCEI followed by Adverse Information cost and Order Processing cost. The result reflects market microstructure which is peculiar to OTCEI. The methodology developed in this study is basically a generalization of S toll's (1989) methodology. . Roll(1984) shows that in a pure order processing world, spread equals the square root of negative of serial covariances of successive differences of transaction prices. Stoll (1989) relates spread to the covariance of successive difference of transaction prices and that of the quotes. Stoll introduces two parameters, 5, which is a measure of magnitude of price change and JI, the probability of reversal of type of transaction, that is, from Bid to Ask or vice-versa, to model the Bid/Ask price movements from one transaction to the next. Thus Stoll, from this model, establishes a theoretical relationship between serial covariances of successive differences of transaction and quote returns and spread. 5 and n are estimated via regression of serial covariances of transaction and quote, returns on average proportional spread square. With these two parameters, Stoll finally decomposes spread into three components. δ, is the amount of price change between transactions for two reasons- Inventory holding reason and adverse information reason. Stoll explains these price changes due to two reasons with just one parameter, 5. This forms the main motivation of this study. In our study, we let 8 assume two different values, 5i and 82 which attempts to capture the price changes due to the two different causes viz inventory holding and adverse information. It is convenient to think of these two S's being associated with two different states of transactions. However, these states themselves are indeterminate . In other words, the price change could be due to inventory reasons, or due to trading with an informed trader, or due to both. Thus, while Stoll assumes only one 8, in our study, we have two different values of 8. Thus, with three parameters, 81, 82 and n, this study attempts to estimate the relevant parameters and realistically decompose the three components of spread in a dealer market. Just like Stoll, the developed theoretical model also relates serial covariances of transaction price changes and quoted price changes to spread square. However, unlike Stoll, now there are 3 parameters, namely, 5j, 82 and n. As it is impossible to solve three unknowns with just two equations, it becomes necessary to introduce one more equation relating the three parameters to the spread. It is here that we introduce, for the first time, the serial covariance of the second order differences of the transaction price changes, which is related to spread via an equation. Intuitively, we can explain this relationship using Roll's result. Roll(1984) has shown that spread equals square root of the negative serial covariances of transaction price changes in a pure order processing world. Since the second order difference is nothing but the rate of price changes, it also must be related to spread, since the price change themselves are related to it, empirically, we find that spread square significantly affects the serial covariance of second order difference of price changes as well. Besides explaining the price changes with just one 5, Stoll's method of decomposition is not realistic. Though his method of decomposition does yield three components of spread, in reality, it lumps Adverse information cost and Inventory holding cost together. In our study, we make use of the state-of-the art Huang and Stoll's (1997) methodology of decomposition of spread. We first embed the developed theoretical price-movement model into that of Huang and S toll's this yields a functional relationship between 5i and 52 and a and |3 of Huang and Stoll, which directly refers to the adverse information and inventory holding components respectively. Thus, in our study, we realistically decompose the components of spread and OTCEI and empirically too, we find that the components estimated from our methodology does reflect the market microstructure of OTCEI. Apart from developing and empirically testing the theoretical model, we also see if it fits the observed data on OTCEI. We find that the theoretical model does not exactly conform to the observed data in OTCEI, necessitating some empirical fine-tuning. We build an empirical model which is again used to get the three components of spread. We also estimate components of spread in OTCEI using Stoll's and Huang and Stoll's methodology and we compare them with the estimates obtained using our methodology. We find that Stoll's methodology overstates the Adverse information component of spread and understates the inventory holding component of spread and Huang and Stoll's methodology and Our methodology and model yields estimates of components of spread which is more in tune with the market micros tructure of OTCEI. The estimates obtained from empirical model too conforms to the market microstructure of OTCEI. 2007-03-26T07:44:01Z Technological Innovation And Economic Performance In Small-scale Precision Engineering Industry http://hdl.handle.net/2005/1420 Title: Technological Innovation And Economic Performance In Small-scale Precision Engineering Industry Authors: Mitter, Lakshmi 2011-09-14T18:30:00Z

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico City's police chief says a fourth officer has been arrested in the investigation into the kidnapping and killing of 12 young people who disappeared in May from an after-hours bar and later turned up in a mass grave.
Security Chief Jesus Rodriguez Almeida says the four have been turned over to the prosecutor's office and he has no evidence to conclude they were involved.
The Mexico City prosecutor announced Monday that two more police had been arrested in the case, putting the total at three officers. Rodriguez on Tuesday confirmed the arrest of the fourth officer to The Associated Press.
Eighteen people have been arrested so far in the case involving the after-hours bar, Heaven. The killings shook Mexico City's image as a haven from drug-related, organized crime.

Cover Letter Tips
Graduation is quickly approaching, which means only a few more projects and assignments and you will be done forever, right?? Unfortunately, that is not always the case, especially because graduation will almost always guarantee a job search. It may be hard to focus on school and looking for jobs, but make sure to dedicate the proper amount of time to your job applications. Most will require cover letters as an important component of the application.
Cover letters may accompany and strengthen resumes, but they also allow you to give more in-depth examples about certain skills and traits. For most potential employers, it is the first impression they will receive and it acts as an introduction to you, so make sure that it is an accurate and relevant representation. Use these tips to enhance your cover letter.
Length: Keep your letter to one page maximum. Employers receive hundreds of applications and cover letters and reading through them can soon become a monotonous and time-consuming task, so be sure to highlight only the most important skills, keeping the entire document to less than 1 page.
Formatting: Along with length, this is an important aspect of a cover letter. It must appear uniform and professional, follow the guidelines and do not use a "fun" font such as comic sans or Harrington, instead, stick with a generic, easy-to-read font.
Originality: Everyone has their own "voice" when it comes to writing; don't try to mask that in your cover letter by sounding too professional. It is important to be professional but don't sacrifice your personality for it. Having an original cover letter and letting your personality shine through will make for a more memorable letter.
Proofread: Make sure to read and reread your cover letter aloud after a few hours or days to check for any spelling or grammatical errors. Pass it on to a friend, professor, advisor, or Career Services to have someone else proofread it for mistakes.
Send as a PDF: Some devices may not have the access to open other forms of documents, so sending a cover letter and resume electronically is best accomplished via a PDF version. If you are handing in a hard copy of your cover letter, make sure you print it on resume paper and sign it without smudging the ink.
Use these tips before sending a cover letter to increase the chances of getting a call to set up an interview! Jones College provides students with experiences to fill a cover letter.

1. Immediately surrender your Rifle and/or Shotgun to your local police precinct, and notify this office of the invoice number. The firearm may be sold or permanently removed from the City of New York thereafter.I'm at the point now where the death of liberty in vibrant blue states no longer concerns me, insofar as I may need to transit one. They get the government they voted for. Bill Price at the Spearhead nailed it in a column from a few months ago, titled "The Con Baiting Game". To wit:
2. Permanently remove your Rifle and/or Shotgun from New York City…
3. You may call to discuss the matter if you believe your firearm is in compliance, or you may request the option to bring your firearm to a licensed gunsmith for a permanent modification and certification proving that it is permanently modified and in compliance.
As much of a problem as urban crime is, it isn't generally [a conservative] problem. A white liberal in Washington or New York is far more likely to be a victim of a violent interracial crime than a Republican in rural Virginia or upstate New York. Arch-progressive Matthew Yglesias was jumped and beat up in DC a couple years back by a gang of young black men. A recent article in Salon, written by a young progressive named Brian Beutler, gives a first-hand account of being shot during a robbery. This kind of thing happens every day in blue cities — not in red territory. But if you think these incidents change people's minds, you'd be wrong. The progressives hold fast to the party line even after being shot.Blue New Yorkers want to make it so that only the police and vibrant gangsters have guns, with the unarmed law-abiding as victims-in-waiting? Okay, I say let 'em have what they want. For righties caught in blue territory, if you don't like it, go. There are plenty of jobs in freer red states, and many, many companies are fleeing blue-state taxation and regulation and moving to places like Texas, Utah, etc.
Conservatives need to learn to identify this little game and stop playing along. Instead of falling into the same tired old arguments that will never end, let the urban whites have a taste of their own medicine. Do they call for "tolerance" and an end to police abuse? OK, call their bluff. Hamstring their police departments and start cutting prison budgets. Also, stop paying attention to petty vice such as prostitution and street dealers. It's amazing how quickly a neighborhood (and property values) will go to hell when you let the street hookers and small time dealers operate with impunity. For good measure, limit cities' power to shut down "nuisance" businesses. Can you imagine the look on the face of a SWPL condo owner when a new dance club opens down the street, keeping him up at night with heavy bass beats punctuated by occasional bursts of gunfire and wailing sirens?
Sometimes the best medicine to give liberalists is to refuse to save them from the reductio-ad-absurdum consequences of their own ideology.

JPiX – Jewish Photo Bloggers Carnival 2013June 30th, 2013 by Leora
Welcome to JPiX, the Jewish Photo Bloggers Carnival. Hope you will enjoy the tour of Jewish-inspired photos from around the world. Today we are visiting Israel, Washington DC, Crimea, Scotland and London. If you like an image, please visit the post and leave a comment for the photographer. Comments welcome on this post as well, of course.
Batya shares three posts, from right to left: Israel Museum, Lions in Jerusalem and Zichron Yaakov
Here are three photos by Sharon of Real Streets of Jerusalem:
Lorri of jewaicious shares two: explanations below the photos
My submission was in relation to International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, 2012. It includes a photograph I took of a Holy Ark, inside Congregation Mickve Israel Synagogue, in Savannah, Georgia. It also includes a photograph of the welcome memorial to Silale, Lithuania (where some of my ancestors once lived), and includes a photograph I created regarding WWII, and a photograph of the WWII Memorial in Washington DC.
I visited cousins in Glasgow in 2008, and took the photographs of the exterior of Garnet Hill Synagogue, in Glasgow, Scotland when we went to the synagogue. I loved the beautiful architectural design.
Leah lives in Crimea and shares: challah, Holocaust Museum Dnepropetrovsk, and Lag B'Omer
Cosmic X shares Beit Shemesh, Tel Aviv and Rabin Square in Tel Aviv
Toby presents fun Jerusalem architecture, Israeli flags and palm silhouettes against a Tel Aviv sky
Hannah's Nook: The Jewish Museum in London
Mrs. S: Golan tzimmer, Patriarch city, harvest before Shavuot
Robin shows Election Day at the Beach, lupines and her orchid:
Leora (that's me!) presented a pigeon in flight, red poppy and Shimon Bar-Yohai grave:
If you want to submit to a future edition of JPiX Jewish Photo Bloggers Carnival, the form is on the JPiX page. The next edition will probably be in December 2013. If anyone would like to volunteer to host (a brave proposition because you need to be good with a photo editor), you can let me know by comment or by the JPiX form.

Keene State students unveil design plan for Haitian vocational school
For more than 20 year students from the college's Communicorps class have worked with community groups in the Monadnock region to tackle design projects through a team effort.
Senior Fritz Henning had already taken the course, but joined in as part of his senior project, he said.
"I hopped on board this because I think it's great designing for outside of the Keene area," he said.
The students were asked to design a vocational school that would be used to teach electrical, masonry, plumbing and carpentry skills, but they also added an automobile shop that would allow the school to teach mechanics and generate income from fixing cars, Henning said.
Peter Temple, associate professor of architecture at Keene State, said he had wanted the Communicorps students to work on a Haitian project since the 2010 earthquake devastated the country. Through a contact at Architecture for Humanity, Temple learned a Boston-based Haitian group was seeking help in the design of a vocational school in the Plateau Central region of the country.
"It means a lot for us because we are from Haiti and we know what education means there," said Estenieau Jean, executive director of the Organization of Support to the Development of the Plateau Central.
"So having this project designed is like a dream come true for us."
Jacques Parent, OSDPC executive secretary/media relations, said higher education for medicine and law are strong in Haiti, but take five to six years to complete and often the newly educated doctors and lawyers can't find work in Haiti.
On the other hand construction workers from the Dominican Republic are often brought into Haiti to work on construction projects because they have the skills.
"This school will teach students on the spot and they will have the skills to put food on the table," Parent said. "The impact this will have on people's lives will be profound."
The Hinche Vocational School was designed through a collaboration between the students - Henning, Bill Preskenis, Jessica Pierre, Kristen Guillette, Jillian Cornelius and Jason Abram - as well as the volunteers from OSDPC and Architects for Humanity Boston.
Though they consulted with the OSDPC volunteers, the students worked on the project by themselves for the most part. So Pierre, whose father is originally from the Plateau Central region of Haiti, was incredibly helpful in designing the school through her cultural insights.
For instance she knew that many people in Haiti get around on mopeds, so the students designed parking to accommodate that transportation. Lunch is also the largest meal of the day in Haiti, so the students were sure to design a cafeteria that would be appropriate culturally.
Because air-conditioning would not be feasible for the school the classrooms were designed to have high ceilings.
The school was also designed to be earthquake resistant and could serve as an emergency shelter if needed.
OSDPC is still raising funds to build the school. Learn more at osdpc.org.

Mutual exchange is where you swap your home. You can mutually exchange your property if you have a protected or assured tenancy.
You can swap with a mhs homes tenant, a tenant from another housing association or a local council tenant.
Both of you need to agree to swap your home and get the property owner's permission.
Where to go for mutual exchanges
You can use Kent Homechoice for mutual exchanges within Kent. This service is free and advertises homes for mutual exchange across the county.
Tips when mutually exchanging your home
- Visit the property first to make sure it is suitable
- Be aware that you will take on the terms and conditions of the tenancy of the person you are swapping with; so find out if any of your protected rights are affected first
- If you are happy to swap remember you also take on the property in the condition it is in
- We will not decorate during the swap, although we will carry out any work that we are responsible for
- A number of checks have to be carried out before we will consider your application, e.g. electrical safety, asbestos checks.
Why you might be refused a mutual exchange
You could be refused if:
- You have been served with a notice for rent arrears or anti-social behaviour issues
- The property is too big or too small for the needs of the family
- There are disabled adaptations in the property and the new tenant does not need them.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) - A Rutgers University lawyer who approved a decision to suspend the men's basketball coach rather than fire him last year has resigned.
University officials announced last week that the lawyer, John Wolf, had left his leadership position. Some politicians took that to mean that he had left the university entirely.
But school officials said this week Wolf had merely stepped down from his interim role as the top in-house lawyer but had remained employed at Rutgers.
Some politicians called for him to leave Rutgers amid a scandal that has claimed the jobs of basketball coach Mike Rice, an assistant coach and the athletic director.
Rice was fired last week after a video was made public showing him shoving and kicking players and using gay slurs.
The university announced Wolf's resignation Thursday.

Help a DC chowhound find some good food in Pittsburgh
I'm heading to Pittsburgh this weekend, for fun at the Warhol Museum, Kennywood and the new Rivers Casino - and I've got some questions...
1) Any word yet on the casino restaurants? especially the buffet and steakhouse...
2) Sunday brunch, before the Warhol museum. I'll be looking for a classic american breakfast just after noon.
3) I'm hearing that the national dish of Pittsburgh is the pierogi. Where should I do get them?
4) What other mid-priced dining experience should not be missed.
I'm looking for a working class joint, full of flavor and texture - with memorable food.
Hey, thanks...
2) I don't really care much for the greasy slop that most of the breakfast/brunch places here get away with. The classic choices in that realm would be DeLuca's, Pamelas, or my breakfast dive preference, JoJo's (they may not be open that late, call first). My vote for best brunch in the city is SixPenn, by a long shot. Delicious.
3. Pierogies Plus - http://www.pierogiesplus.com/
4. Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but fairly mid-priced and good are Kaya in the strip and Tessaro's in Bloomfield for a great charcoal-grilled burger.Point Brugge is also an excellent choice for mid-priced Belgian goodness. Or you could consider Bloomfield Bridge Tavern if looking to combine the pierogie visit and gritty working class polish food. In general, there are lots of "working class" places I suppose, but I can't think of anything that really stands out, except the very obvious choice of Primanti's in the strip (cue Primanti-hating chowhounders...).
Hope this helps a little. Enjoy your visit.
re: skoledin
*runs in* Primanti's? I HATE Primanti's.. hahahahahaha
Just kidding.. well I do hate them but I thought I'd be a wiseass..
re: skoledin
Some very good suggestions. While I'm not a big fan of the greasy breakfasts, the pancakes at Pamela's (Strip District) can't be beat. SixPenn is a great brunch, but I'd make my way out to Tessaro's in Bloomfield for a tremendous burger. When you're done, walk across the street to the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern for a beer. You might want to scout this place out before you decide to eat there. I happen to love it!
Here's a link to a review of the casino:
Good luck and have fun!
re: Burghfeeder
Thanks tonz for the link to the casino review!
How can I resist a "tremendous burger," going to try to fit Tessaro's in.
re: skoledin
Thank you! Pierogis Plus looks incredible, I am there for sure.
I don't know if this fits with your food ideas or other plans, but if you go to Yo Rita, you'll remember when you get home and talk about it.
re: yayadave
I have been reading the Yo Rita's thread and REALLLLLYYY wish I had a reason to go to Pittsburgh!
re: yayadave
Whoa, Thank you very much! I surfed the Yo Rita's thread, and the menu - it jumped right to the top of my list, I'll be there for sure. Hey, the website said they were open from 4 p.m., but didnt list a closing time, anyone know the hours? Whats the best time to go on saturday, to avoid the crowds? And just before, or after, what else shouldnt I miss in the neighborhood?
Thank you everyone, for all your help. I am boarding an Amtrak on Friday at 4 p.m., and if all goes well, I am in Pittsburgh at midnight.
re: mic9ael
Well, since you asked, there are a lot of places to eat in that area which is known as South Side. Yo Rita is on Carson Street. Just a few blocks away near 18th and Carson is Fat Head's. If I were going for a burger, that's where I'd go. http://www.fatheads.com/
Other folks might have other suggestions for the area.
I agree with those who suggested Pamela's for brunch. Best crepe-like pancakes in the city. I think the Shadyside location is best.
1. can't comment on casino.
2. would add Grand Concourse in Station Square to brunch suggestions. Have done brunch there several times, always enjoyed the food and atmosphere (big old train station). Plus you can hop the incline up top of Mt. Washington for the view and a drink.
3. second (or third) on Pierogies Plus
4. Dinette in East Liberty - exceptional artisan pizza and appetizers, small but good wine list. Yo Rita is currently best food value in the nation, let alone Pittsburgh. Amazing tacos from $5-$7 done up by a world-class chef. Kaya in the Strip for Caribbean. Not sure if I'd call Tessaro's burger the best in Pgh, but very good and a great local hangout.
re: Panini Guy
As far as the Casino goes, I stopped and had a drink at the bar at Andrews, they had just opened the doors when I was there on Sunday. The wine prices are appalling, $12.00 for a glass of Fish Eye wine which retails for $7.99 at the state store. The nice wine man upgraded me to something else for the same $12.00. Anyway my husband and I were sitting at the bar and three guy's came in and ordered the calamari. When it came it looked soggy, and it must have been because three orders went back to the kitchen. One guy got a steak and when it came it wasn't evenly cooked.
I ordered the green tomato, lobster stack, and that was wonderful. Thinly sliced green tomato's fried in a cornmeal crust, and lobster with tarragon cream drizzle. My husband had a plate of oysters that he said were "OK".
That is all I know about the food.
Dinette is an excellent suggestion. Don't know if I would call it working class, but not stuffy either. A seat at the bar adds to the experience. Think I could sit there all day watching them make pizzas (particularly if I have a good glass of wine).
Fat Head's does make a good sammy, but they seem to want to put pepperoni on a lot of them, which I don't quite get. Beer selection is also fantastic.
Not working class at all, but I also really like Dish Osteria, also on the South Side. You could do Yo Rita right as it opens as an appetizer, go chill out, and then head to Dish for a late, relaxed, delicious dinner.
This is definitely after your trip, but my wife and I took a weekend to explore Pittsburgh (we're from Brooklyn) and I scoured Chowhound for dining options. Maybe this post will help other weekend travelers.
Tessaro's for Friday night dinner and it was excellent. I had the gourmet burger with dry blue cheese. Might be the best burger I ever had. My wife had the steak "salad" and she was very happy. The place is blue collar casual and the bar looks like a nice place to have a couple or seven IC beers.
Primanti's for lunch on Saturday. I read that a lot of Pitt foodies look down their nose at the place, but we liked it. I took a chowhound suggestion and got a fried baloney/fried egg sandwich and it was good. We thought the sandwiches would be oversized but they weren't, or maybe we are just gluttons, or maybe we had walked all around downtown before that. Washed it down with an unsweetened IcedT, nice. I can see the local point of view; new yorkers usually aren't keen on tourist trap food ('Italian' food in 'Little Italy' for example) but I thought Primanti's delivered on their expectation.
We took the Duquesne incline and had a drink at the first saloon on the left when you walk out the door to the street. It was really nice. They had a deck and the view was awesome. I couldn't believe it wasn't packed. Then again, it was August. The incline is something I'd recommend if you have never been to Pitt.
Girasole's for dinner Saturday night. Only disappointment of the trip.. The food was ok, but unbalanced. Appetizer was heavy on the blue cheese, yet striped bass entree wasn't seasoned at all, my fish stew wasn't really stew, but like I said, it wasn't bad. Unfortunately, it was hot in the dining area and the waitress said it was always like that when it was warm outside. We would have had dessert but skipped out and ate ice cream from the place directly above Girasole. I forget the name, but it was very good. The amateur critc inside me recommends Girasole lose five or six tables, lowers the temp, and eyeballs the food a little closer. And what is up with the alcohol tax on tax? I didn't see any Amish in the place. (As an aside, we wanted to try Dish, but couldn't get a reservation before 9:30.)
All in all, we had a nice weekend in Pittsburgh. Aside from the good eating/drinking we checked out FallingWater and the History Museum in the downtown area. Both are recommended.
re: xxstimpy
We now tax all drinks an EXTRA 10%, though I heard it has been lowered to 7%.
re: xxstimpy
Lots of places have an extra line at the bottom of the slip for "Onorato tax" because he's the politico responsible. We're getting kicked around so much right now, I can't even remember what that tax was supposed to pay for. But it doesn't matter; it'll never go away.
Glad you had a nice time in our town. I've thought Girasole's was a little over-rated, myself. Not bad, just not up tp the raves about it.
re: yayadave
It's to fund the Port Authority, because we know that all those drinkers in the Strip, Sq Hlll, Polish Hill, Shadyside, Oakland and all parts East take the T home after a long night out.
Oh wait... there isn't any T in those areas. But they built a tunnel to Heinz Field. Hmmm.
re: Panini Guy
As an out-of-towner, you DO know about the Johnstown Flood Relief Tax, right?
They just never go away.
re: yayadave
The Johnstown Flood tax totally negates (well, mostly negates, to be fair every once in a while certain items really are less here, but mostly that's bogus) the supposed "PA buying power" of the LCB. God I hate that setup. Seems like the perfect thing for the budget crunch: sell the state stores! As if that'll ever happen....
re: CrazyOne
The state store system in PA makes a profit for the state. Selling them would only make a profit for the pols who get some under-the-table money for voting for the sale.
re: yayadave
It's not the profits that make it necessary to keep our socialist system. It's the state unions. Studies conducted by the State itself have concluded that privatization of retail and wholesale would be income neutral at a minimum to PA at (then) current sales levels.
Given that privatization would increase the number of stores, provide better selection and price competition - along with eliminating the need for 3 million Philadelphians to drive to NJ for their booze - it's easy to see that privatization would actually bring in more money to the PA Treasury.
In every single case where a state or province in the US and Canada has privatized liquor operations, the result has been more sales, more profit, more tax revenue and in many cases a reduction in alcohol-related crime.
Might also want to note that PA has a higher percentage of drunk driving fatalities than NY or any of the NE states that are privatized. So much for the MADD arguments against privatizing.
re: Panini Guy
Good. I didn't know all that. Philosophically, I never thought the State should be in the retail liquor sales business, anyway. But keep in mind that the State will not give up control of liquor sales. They will probably retain wholesale sales and licensing authority. And keep you and me and CrazyOne from ordering out of state. They'll still have to protect that Johnstown Flood Relief Tax.
re: yayadave
It really is the unions that keep it from happening. The biggest casualty of privatizing the stores would be those state workers who make far too much money for providing zero customer service. In every other way it makes sense to privatize. Yes, the stores make a profit for the state now, but they would make a windfall in the privatization (something needed right now) and there would still be licensing and such. Only private stores that compete will truly up the service level. I think a good portion of PA just doesn't realize better service for booze is possible, or that they should demand it from their legislators. (Rendell actually wanted to privatize, as I recall. Or was it Ridge? I can't remember.)
Getting off topic for this thread, but it's so annoying.
re: Panini Guy
Panini Guy, that is really interesting. Do you have any links to more info about the studies you mention?
re: barryg
This probably belongs as its own topic at this point (or not even on CH), but since you asked, happy to oblige with some quick info.
Doesn't seem like anyone wants to produce handy-dandy charts on this stuff, but let's take 2006 stats, which represent the most recent year drunk driving fatalities were listed by state by the NHTSA. The national average for alcohol-related fatalities among all accidents was 37%.
18 states still have government monopolies over alcohol (PA, NH and WY control wine and spirits, UT controls everything, including beer, the rest control only distilled spirits).
Of these 18 states, only one-third (six) are better than than national average. PA is average.
Of the 32 states that are fully privatized, 15 are better than average, or just about half. Bordering states to PA which are privatized (NJ, NY, MD, DE) are all either average (NJ) or better than average (NY, MD, DE).
One of the best short articles on privatization regards Virginia. http://virginiatomorrow.com/2009/07/2...
That article states that PA could see as much as a $1.7 billion windfall from divesting its stores and distributors.
re: Panini Guy
At least the Utah LCB allows beer to be sold in the supermarkets!
