SEI students meet Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus at CGIU
Social enterprise students learn early on in their studies that there are a few giants in the field of social enterprise that deserve special attention. Muhammad Yunus of Grameen Bank (see Banker to the Poor), the founder of microfinance. Paul Farmer of Partners in Health (see Mountains Beyond Mountains), and his groundbreaking public health work in Haiti. And finally, Dr. V (see Infinite Vision), who founded the remarkable Aravind Eye Care hospitals in India. The late Dr. Venkataswamy revolutionized health care in India with his "sliding scale" fee structure for eye surgery. Read more here.

In our latest research that appeared in the Journal of Social Entrepreneurship, Chantal Hartog (Panteia/EIM Business and Policy Research, The Netherlands), Brigitte Hoogendoorn (Erasmus University, The Netherlands) and myself explored the differences between social and commercial entrepreneurship from an organizational perspective. Indeed, the concurrent social and financial value creation is likely to result from innovative business models and sustainability strategies that might differ from commercial ones. Read more here.

Fergie's gotta bisexual feeling or two
Newlywed pop star Fergie is known for her Black Eyed Peas and solo-career fame, and less so for that awful girl group Wild Orchid in the 1990s. (Anyone remember them hosting the lip-syncing ABC Family show The Great Pretenders?) This week, she spoke openly to The Advocate about her new role in the movie Nine and her highly-publicized bisexuality.
In previous interviews, Fergie has noted she's had sexual experiences with women, but now she talks about her bisexuality in the context of her marriage — and no, she will not be making a threesome sex tape.
In the new musical film Nine, Fergie plays a "voluptuous Italian whore who first stimulates the young libido of philogynist filmmaker Guido." On whether she can relate to this role, Fergie replies:
Definitely. There will be teenage boys at my shows, so sometimes I'm seducing them from the stage. It's not like anything's going to happen — it's very playful and flirtatious — but it's funny because I'm 34 and they're 14. So I get that about Saraghina.
Umm, creepy. Mothers, hide your little boys. Lesbians, cover your eyes.
Here's the trailer:
With co-stars like that, the movie will definitely be hot.
About the first time she got a gay following:
Well, come on, I toured with Cher and Cyndi Lauper in 1999 when I was in Wild Orchid. I love my gays so much, but I don't think a lot of people know that, which bothers me sometimes. People don't associate the Black Eyed Peas with the gay market, but our new record is a huge dance record, so people are starting to catch on. I want more gay love!
Wild Orchid
On the gay-friendliness of the Black Eyed Peas:
They're completely gay-friendly. Are you kidding me? Look at how they dress!
On her gay marriage support in light of her own recent wedding:
I'm completely, 100% for gay marriage and equal rights. It's crazy that everyone can't get married. It's unfair and ridiculous.
On her bisexual past and why it wasn't a "trendy" thing for her:
The funny thing is that I was very open and honest about that from the very beginning, and everyone was acting like it was some new trend. Go back four or five years, people, and you'll see the same answer.
On her hubby's reaction to her attraction to women and why cheating on your boyfriend with a woman is so 2000 and late:
I've been very honest with him from the get-go. I think women are beautiful, I've had a lot of fun with women, and I'm not ashamed of it. The problem is that I also love a well-endowed man. But just because I enjoy women doesn't mean I'm allowed to have affairs in my relationship. I learned through talking with my therapist that it is still cheating even if it's with girls, so there is a rule there.
On whether her sexy seduction of various women in the video for "I Gotta Feeling" was her idea:
Yes, it was. That was fun because it was so naughty. It was a big tease, but it felt very natural.
On how being raised by Catholic schoolteacher parents and when she was first taught to accept gays:
At a very young age. I've been in show business since I was a little girl, so it was always very normal to me. My mom taught me that every human is God's child. You have to live your own life and not judge other people. Love is a great thing.
On whether she got a lesbian vibe from Peppermint Patty and Sally, for whom she did voice-overs for Peanuts TV specials:
Yeah, I kind of got the feeling.
I gotta feeling that Fergie is pretty down with the gays and will continue to be open and honest about her attraction to women. But hopefully we won't have to wait till "3000 and 8" for gay rights.
What do you think of Fergie's interview and candidness about her bisexual history?

Ford's payoff from aluminum bet still years awayPosted 11:15 am U.S. ET, Nov. 25
Investors might be a little concerned at how Ford is spending its money.
Ford dropped billions of dollars redesigning the aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150. Then it spent at least a billion more perfecting a high-speed aluminum riveting and bonding production system, and retooling its plants.
Ford has said, and continues to say, that fuel economy is the No. 1 unmet need of its truck buyers.
Despite the hefty investments to transform the 2015 F-150, the pickup's fuel economy barely budged, we learned last week, even though the new truc ...

5 cool flourishes on new Lexus RCPosted 10:50 am U.S. ET, Nov. 25
TOKYO -- Is it too much to say that the new Lexus RC is the best-looking Lexus ever? Even better than the LFA?
I finally got behind the wheel an RC 350 F Sport last weekend, and I never got tired looking at the car, from any angle. Design is always subjective, but if this is a sign of future cars from Lexus, brand boss Tokuo Fukuichi is working magic, in my book.
Here are some cool flourishes that enhance the RC experience:

Ford F-150 mpg for 2015 is a mixed bagPosted 3:26 pm U.S. ET, Nov. 21
The 2015 F-150 is only the first of three big changes that may eventually give Ford fuel economy leadership in the segment -- assuming everyone else stands still or makes incremental gains.
In September, we crunched the numbers in an attempt to predict the fuel economy ratings for the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 pickup. Turns out, we were pretty darn close.
Today, Ford finally released those long-awaited official EPA numbers for its lightweight aluminum truck.
Some of the gains are i ...

Luxury brands go the way of free-trade coffeePosted 2:41 pm U.S. ET, Nov. 21
LOS ANGELES -- Luxury automobiles typically offer customers a combination of high performance, advanced technology and plush comfort. But a new crop of upscale cars may offer wealthy car buyers something else: a clearer conscience.
That trend was on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show, where Volvo Cars showed the plug-in hybrid version of its forthcoming XC90. It's a full-size crossover that seats up to seven and delivers about 400 hp. But thanks to its large battery pack and electric motor, the vehicle can achieve the equivalent of up to 90 mpg, according to Volvo.
That blend of high performance a ...

LOS ANGELES -- Henrik Fisker, the Danish designer behind the Aston Martin DB9, BMW Z8 and the ill-fated Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid, apparently can design an American muscle car, too.
At the Los Angeles Auto Show, with the Southern California tuner Galpin Auto Sports, Fisker unveiled the Galpin-Fisker Rocket, a 725-hp, carbon-fiber-bodied Mustang that goes on sale next year.
Priced above $100,000 and sharing no sheet metal with a stock Mustang besides the doors and roof, the Rocket was envisioned as a modern -- not retro -- take on the Mustangs of the 1960s.

Apple's CarPlay goes missing in L.A. and in the showroomPosted 11:09 am U.S. ET, Nov. 20
Honda plans to launch its HR-V small crossover in the spring and neither CarPlay nor Android Auto will be on board. (BLOOMBERG)
Tech giants Apple and Google have generated a lot of hype over the past 12 months over their plans to tightly integrate their smartphones and app technology with in-car infotainment systems.
Apple has made a show of publicly demonstrating its CarPlay software, which will enable drivers to use their dashboard screens and steering wheel buttons and knobs to control iPhone apps for navigating, streaming music and other tasks.
Google has touted the consortium of automakers, including General Motors and Audi, that are working to tailor infotainment systems around the company's Android Auto technology.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept pays homage to past, futurePosted 3:36 pm U.S. ET, Nov. 20
The 2X, created by GM's North Hollywood Advanced Design Center, is more of a suit than a race car.
It's ironic that the most futuristic Vision Gran Turismo virtual racer to date also has the deepest historical ties to motorsports.
Chevrolet revealed a real-life mock-up of its imaginative Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept during the Los Angeles Auto Show, simultaneously challenging the boundaries of vehicle design while paying homage to a legendary racing brand known for innovation.
The 2X will be available for download on "Gran Turismo 6" for the PlayStation 3 this holiday season, joining a slew of other concepts for the Vision Gran Turismo initiative that invites automakers to ...

Mercedes gives Maybach interior the silent treatmentPosted 11:09 am U.S. ET, Nov. 20
Mercedes has engineered the seals around the Maybach's doors with a tube-like shape that traps road and wind noise before it reaches the interior compartment. (BLOOMBERG)
One of the highlights of the new Mercedes-Maybach S600 superluxury sedan is something you're not supposed to notice: noise, or more precisely, the lack of it.
Mercedes-Benz is touting the $200,000 car as the quietest on the road, and went to significant lengths to ensure the car's occupants are sealed off from outside distractions.
The noise-deadening measures start with an extremely stiff underbody, which reduces vibration, said Hermann Storp, director of global S-class development. The body-in-white is made up of steel and aluminum treated with special coating that further inhibits noise. Th ...

Honda opens Calif. garage to get Android rollingPosted 1:00 pm U.S. ET, Nov. 18
Honda's hope is that by making it easier for programmers to work with Android Auto, it will spawn some killer apps for the car.
LOS ANGELES -- To help Google Inc.'s new Android Auto system gain favor, Honda Motor Co. is doing something rare in the auto industry: subsidizing its rivals.
Today, at a connected-car conference ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show, Google released the first software developer kit for Android Auto, which puts the navigation and other features from an Android smartphone onto a vehicle's display screen.
But a developer kit needs developers.
Enter Honda, which today announced the opening of a garage in Silicon Valley for coders who want to write apps for Andro ...

Just how bad is that traffic jam ahead? New tech lets drivers see itPosted 3:36 pm U.S. ET, Nov. 18
Traffic apps that alert users about upcoming delays aren't new.
Mobile app Waze, for instance, has turned the navigation experience into a community event thanks to a crowd-sourcing approach where drivers notify one another of upcoming road closures, police traps and traffic conditions -- dotting maps with an array of colorful notification icons.
It's a useful tool.
But what if drivers could actually see what's happening at a particular location on their vehicle screens when they're 5 miles -- or even a couple states -- away?

Ocean Dial looking to India
Ocean Dial Asset Management is considering launching sector-specific Indian funds as it develops its range of niche products.
Last week, parent company Caledonia relaunched India Investment Partners as Ocean Dial Asset Management and took 100 per cent ownership of the boutique.
The firm was previously 60 per cent owned by two private stakeholders, James Winterbotham and Kai Taraporevala.

Despite that fact, more than 80-percent of programming in the U.S. is viewed in standard definition. Calling this number shocking is a bit of an understatement. The American public has pumped billions of dollars into the electronics industry by purchasing HD TVs, and now most popular shows, s...
The Average Teen Sends Over 3,000 Texts a Month, Nielsen Finds
This isn't exactly a news flash, but today's teenagers send a lot of text messages. According to a new report from Nielsen, kids aged between 13 and 17 send and receive an average of 3,339 texts per month -- the equivalent of more than 100 per day. Adults text their fair share, too. The average 45- to 54-year old sent and received 323 texts per month during the second quarter of 2010 -- 75-percent...
'Hawaii Five-0' Premiere Becomes Most DVR'd TV Show of All-Time
According to Nielsen's first ratings of the 2010 to 2011 TV season, the premiere episode of CBS's 'Hawaii Five-0' rehash has the distinction of being the most DVR-ed show of all time. The Washington Post reports that about 3.4 million people recorded the show and watched it within the next week. In the DVR age, Nielsen has struggled with gauging exactly how many people watch a show. The Live+7 nu...
Young Kids Rarely Use Search, Spending More Time Online
The Internet presents kids with unlimited educational opportunities, so -- unsurprisingly -- kids don't actually use it to discover new information. Like a shiny new toy rapidly losing its luster in a dusty corner, kids ignore the infinite search possibilities afforded by the Web, and instead prefer bookmarks, remembered favorites and paid subscription services to fulfill their online needs. A...
Study Finds People Dislike 3-D TV Glasses, Surprises Nobody
Consumers may be willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money on tickets to 3-D movies, but, according to a new study from Nielsen, they're a lot less willing to drop hard-earned cash on actual 3-D glasses. As USA Today reports, Nielsen's study, titled 'Focusing on the 3DTV Experience,' involved 425 people, each of whom was given a pair of glasses to watch 30 minutes worth of 3-D television. Abou...

That's a drastic increase from June of last year, when a reported 15.8-percent of time online was spent ...
AT&T May Be Right: Smartphone Customers Underuse Mobile Web
An uproar ensued when AT&T discontinued its unlimited data plan last month, and the company defended itself by arguing that 98-percent of its customers never used more than the 2GB allotted by the DataPro plan. Turns out, AT&T might even have been understating its case against the unlimited plan if the numbers from a new Nielsen study are to be believed. Nielsen has been tracking the m...
Facebook and Google Maps Reign as Most Popular Smartphone Apps
Smartphone users today have access to an unimaginably wide array of mobile apps, providing solutions for even the most obscure of consumer demands.

Study Says 60-Percent of Americans Surf the Web While Watching TV

According to the Nielsen stat gurus, the total number of active Web users increased in January, but people still sp...
Pre-Teen Kids Sending Over a Thousand Texts a Month
At the risk of dating ourselves, we'll admit that we didn't get our first cell phones until we could already drive a car. As for text messages, those came even later than did the mobile phone.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Since this spring, health professionals worldwide have been stressing the importance of hand washing. Many have mocked this advice and even laughed at its simplicity. Unfortunately through the laughter, people are simply not listening.
Were Sedgwick County residents doing a better job washing their hands, the Sedgwick County Health Department would not be in the midst of a 6-month shigella outbreak investigation.
Eighty-seven shigella cases have been reported to the state from Sedgwick County since January 1. During 2008, there were twenty cases in Sedgwick County. Shigella is a bacterium that causes severe diarrhea. Besides diarrhea, shigella's symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, and cramps.
Symptoms normally develop a day or two after exposure and last 5-7 days. While symptomatic, the infected person is contagious and can spread the disease to others. One may recover from a shigella infection without treatment; however, antibiotics may shorten the illness. Shigella is often spread when hand washing habits are inadequate.
This outbreak leaves local health professional pondering how they can get the message about hand washing out in a manner that impacts individuals.
What about through the pocketbook?
There is a real cost to NOT washing hands. Consider:
• 78 million people get sick annually from infectious diseases like colds and the flu.
• Hands spread an estimated 80 percent of infectious diseases.
• Better hand washing can reduce the spread of flu, colds, and other highly contagious diseases, including shigella.
• Keeping hands clean prevents illness at home, at school, and at work.
You can help reduce the number of days employees and students are out sick by spreading the word about hand washing. Encourage employees, family members and friends to do the following.
• Frequently and carefully wash hands with soap and running water for at least 20 seconds.
o Always wash hands before preparing, serving or eating food.
o Be sure to wash hands after using the restroom.
o Always wash hands after changing soiled diapers.
• People who have shigella should not prepare food or pour water for others. If you are a
food handler and experience these symptoms, do not go to work. You will only spread
the illness to coworkers and customers, causing more problems for your employer.
• People with symptoms should also avoid:
o School
o Daycare
o Swimming
• Wash fruits and vegetables before eating.
• Consume water from a safe source.
If you have symptoms, contact your physician to be tested for shigella. To learn more about shigella visit www.sedgwickcounty.org. There you will find a fact sheet with more information about the disease.
For more information, hand washing print materials, or to request a presentation, call the Sedgwick County Health Department at 660-7350 or email email@example.com. There are hand washing "how to" fact sheets and downloadable posters available at www.sedgwickcounty.org.

I am so excited to have Leo Babauta of the famous simplicity blog Zen Habits with us today for a GSD (get shit done) interview. Leo is a father of six, a best-selling author, and a vegan. Since 2005 Leo has focused his life on changing his habits — he quit smoking, became a runner and ran several marathons and a 50-mile ultramarathon, lost 70 pounds, started his blog Zen Habits, has written several books, and has just launched his latest book Zen Habits: Mastering the Art of Change on Kickstarter (I ordered my copy today).
And now we find out how the master of simplicity gets shit done:
GSD stands for Get Shit Done — so I have to ask, what is your process/work strategy for getting shit done? For your blog, ebooks, and life in general.
Leo: First figure out what's most important to spend my time on, and do that first. Overcome resistance by clearing distractions and just focusing on starting — writing one sentence. And have someone who will benefit from the work that I have in mind, so that their benefit from the work is greater than my personal resistance. When I have that, the work just flows.
Do you have a daily routine that you go through on a typical day?
Leo: I wish I had a perfect routine, but all my best laid plans fall apart in the face of resistance. But here's what typically happens: I wake a little before 6am these days, make some coffee and clear out my email as the pot is brewing (usually just takes a few minutes at this point), then have my cup of coffee as I start on the writing. After the writing, I might allow myself a little more email, then more writing, then I take care of all the little things at the end. Then I spend some time with my family.
What books, websites, posts and other resources have you found helpful or have changed your life?
Leo: When I started Zen Habits in 2007, I was obsessed with GTD by David Allen, and books on mindfulness and simplicity like Zen Mind Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki. I also loved Lifehacker and 43 Folders and Get Rich Slowly. Then the Daodejing by Lao Tzu changed my life. These days, I read more for leisure and information — longform articles online and novels.
What about apps?
Leo: I love Google Inbox — makes it so easy to clear the inbox. I'm also loving Slack for working with teams, and I'm a big user of Evernote, Fantastical, Asana, Google Docs, WordPress, 1Password, Instapaper for all longform reading, and Feedly for RSS reading.
I'm sure you get a lot of email — how do you attack your inbox? Do you have a certain strategy you use?
Leo: I make sure a lot of stuff is filtered out that I don't want to get — I'm ruthless about filters, because otherwise my inbox would be filled with junk. I process 3-4 times a day, to as close to empty as possible. Everything gets a quick reply and/or archive, or if it is a task that will take longer I'll either turn it into a Reminder in Google Inbox and snooze it, or put it as a task in Asana. Archive everything as I go, and the inbox is clear! I love that.
Are there any parts of your work that you dislike?
Leo: No, I have to say I'm blessed with work that has meaning to me. Even small tasks that might seem meaningless are tied to something more important for me. Answering an email, reading people's tweets, responding to a forum question … these are ways for me to help people, and to hear what people's problems are. That's meaningful, so I never really feel like my time is wasted. I also try to remember to be happy in each moment, no matter what I'm doing.
What are some interesting things people probably don't know behind the scenes of Zen Habits?
Leo: I often have to kick my kids off my computer when they're playing Minecraft and I need to do some work! Also, I'm not as perfect as people seem to think I am — I'm human, and I have my bad days, and distractions, and self-doubt, and failed habits, just like anyone else. The challenge is learning from those things and not taking any of them as personal failures, just as lessons.

- Restaurant is under renovationEdwardVIPDined on 4/8/2014Restaurant is under renovation yet they have the nerve to seat you there and continue with the jackhammers, saws, etc. until about 6.45 pm! I was shocked to find this out, but way too late. I had booked a dinner meeting with a client and it was an embarrassing disaster. Avoid if at all possible. I was staying at the hotel and thought it would be convenient but I may never stay at that hotel again. So much for being a lifetime gold member of the Starwood Sheraton program.

My Battery Died
Posted 30 March 2010 - 09:29 AM
Posted 30 March 2010 - 09:47 AM
If it charges the other battery fine then you know the charger is good and you've got yourself a dead battery. Not to much you can do about it to be honest. You can try cleaning the threads and see if that helps. (Using some rubbing alcohol)

Bah, I hate when that happens. I would really recommend getting a mod unit that uses cheaper batteries. If you want something that is fairly slim check out the Spade or VP1 (they use the 10440 size batteries), if you're cool with getting something a little bigger there are a lot of good mods out there to choose from. The batteries for the mods are generally around 5-6 dollars a piece, and if you shop around and buy in larger quantities there are better deals to be had. Also you may want to look into a, HV mod, my VP-PT got me hooked on higher voltages and I must say that I love my Silver Bullet running @ 6V with an atty that is 3.5ohms or higher (I have some 4.5ohm attys inbound at the moment, can't wait to try them out).
Posted 30 March 2010 - 11:50 AM
These things are all disposable and won't last forever. I like to think of them like batteries (Sounds silly, I know, but we tend to forget that even rechargeable batteries don't last forever. Think about cell phones!) and light bulbs. The batteries are... ummm... like batteries and the atties are like light bulbs. Neither is expected to last forever and you don't really ever know when one is going to go out on you. Keep some spares and don't stress too much when they die.

So I went to charge my battery yesterday (510) waited for the light to turn green on the charger and tried it out and nothing. So I put it back in the charger again light was red, waited for it to turn green again and still nothing. Did I do something wrong to cause this? Or was there something I could have done to prevent it? This is the one that came with my kit and the kit was inexpensive.
Sorry to hear about the battery. But you might try getting in touch with who you got the kit from and maybe they will let the few extra days slide.
It's worth a try and if not you'll just have to get a couple of back-ups.
Good luck.
Posted 30 March 2010 - 02:39 PM
But I'll just say that when I got one of those "Mega" batteries for my 510 kit, that's what sealed the deal for me and made up in my mind in regards to buying a mod.
You know that 'fresh off the charger' vapor production that you get for about the first 15-30mins when you take a battery off the charger and vape with it? The Mega battery gave me about 30mins to an hour with that nice feeling (plus it just lasted a lot longer too). But that bigger vape production that lasted longer is really what did it for me (this is the time in which the battery's voltage is actually hovering just a bit over 4 volts, rather than the nominal 3.7volts).
My BB (which uses the 14500 batteries), keeps that 'fresh off the charger feeling' for dang near 2 full hours, then slowly tapers off but still lasts me hours and hours between switching out a battery.
I don't want to talk anyone into buying a mod that doesn't need one, but really it's a world of difference when you can get past the fact that it no longer looks like a cigarette. Once you make that transition to where you don't care that it doesn't look like a cigarette, a whole new world opens up

November 26, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - On the fifth anniversary of the Lehman Bros. collapse, President Barack Obama is laying claim to an economic turnaround and warning Republicans not to risk a backslide by threatening a government shutdown or a debt default.
That's a message Obama plans to promote over the coming week - starting with a Rose Garden speech on Monday.
It marks a determined effort by the White House to confront public skepticism about Obama's stewardship of the economy. Also, the president is putting down his marker for looming budget clashes with Congress.
The economic scorecard is mixed as the nation recovers from the worst recession since the Great Depression.
Growth has been tepid and unemployment remains high. Polls show that the American public isn't convinced that the economy is mending.

Michael Achenbaum On The Gansevoort Las Vegas
The Man Behind Vegas' Hottest Hotel Development
Page 2 of 2
So it's safe to say there's no black leather in your place?Michael Achenbaum: I'm looking around right now. You'll see some browns, darker wood floors, white wood blinds. Everything in my home is in rich materials. And I have cool, unique glass chandeliers with dewdrop-y elements. With high ceilings, they really make a difference.
Why is Las Vegas the right city to open a hotel in right now?MA: Everyone wants to experience Las Vegas at some point. For our generation, one of the biggest influences of that really has to do with the Ocean's movies. They created this new sort of Rat Pack image of what people envision Las Vegas to be. I'm old enough to recognize the historical value of the Dean Martins and Frank Sinatras and Sammy Davis Jrs of the world who were there and to recognize the Vegas cool that existed at that period. And then, for a long while, the city's marketing became very family-oriented. That was a huge mistake. People don't want to look at Vegas as a family place, even though it is a great place for families. It's back to that sexy image again and "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." A lot of the movement toward that was triggered by image in movies the last 15 years.
Also, the fact that Las Vegas is the only city in the country that can take certain size convention business and service other clients at the time. New York can't physically take that business because we don't have a series of conventions spaces that can take that stress of business and size, at the same time as providing rooms for corporate users and normal, transient vacation guests. We feel like Las Vegas gives us the opportunity to create a relationship with a whole new guest that we can meet for the first time.
And it's a great opportunity to continue to expand our branding. The location that we have there is literally the absolute best location in Las Vegas -– on the northeast corner of Flamingo Road and the Vegas strip. We get to bring that personalized-touch guest experience, which Las Vegas has lacked for a very long time. We'll have all the mega-amenities of a mega-hotel but in a smaller property.
While some new Vegas hotels like Vdara and the Mandarin have opened without casinos, the Gansevoort will have one. Why did you choose to include one?MA: I really wanted our guests to be able to have the full Las Vegas experience but still walk into a hotel with a small lobby, where the check-in isn't overwhelming and you're only 200 feet from your room, not a 15-minute walk. I thought it would be great to have an independent building in Las Vegas with all the mega-amenities of a mega-hotel with 24 hours of social life in the building. Not only do you have the 40,000 square-foot gaming facility, which is open 24 hours, but in our hotel, Victor's late-night club doesn't get going until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. You have the day club open all afternoon and evening, then you can go have dinner at the restaurant and then hit the rooftop nightclub. And if you're still not done with it, go to the basement and experience Drai's late-night club. And if you feel good in the morning, get up and go to the gym and start again.
Will the Gansevoort cater primarily to gambling customers?MA: It will be a mix. Caesars has an amazing Rolodex of clients. This is clearly an opportunity for their historical clients to experience something different. But this is an opportunity for everyone to have something new and fresh. Of course, we want the gaming clients to come because we'll be running a beautiful gaming facility, but, equally, we want our client, who's an aspirational client. That's the reality of today –- people who are aspiring to experience. That's really our generation. It's about the experiences. We also think we're going to add a whole new client we've never experienced before, because everyone goes to Las Vegas. It will be a really eclectic mix of people.
What do you think about the revival of downtown Vegas?MA: It's great because I think it really had become seedy. Tony Hsieh, the Zappos gentleman, should really receive tremendous credit for being a visionary and saying, "I want to invest into this neighborhood and I want to see change that I can help create by putting my business down there, and investing into restaurants and bars." There's a huge movement in the United States in the last 20 years to reinvigorate downtown areas. Not all of them have worked, but a lot of them have. There is something unique to living in an urban environment and to having everything in a close proximity. The Las Vegas Strip, as much as you can walk it, walking between four hotels is a project. The hotels in the downtown area aren't as dramatically large, so going between the facilities and having a multifaceted experience is really nice.
Was Tony Hsieh a factor in getting you to bring the Gansevoort out there?MA: Absolutely not. I've been working toward getting the right Las Vegas deal for at least eight years. It's taken me this amount of time to find the right deal. The right deal ended up being getting an independent physical property, which is unheard of. It's such a different opportunity. Not to sound over-exuberant, but it's actually almost a dream-come-true opportunity for my brand and for my team. We get to create our own environment and our own experience, and if I was within someone else's facility, I would still be subject to their whims. Here, in partnership with Caesars, we get to create what really represents my brand. Under almost any other circumstance, I would not have that freedom.
Since opening your first hotel, Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC, how has the brand evolved?MA: We learned a lot of lessons from the design of the first hotel. We knew we were going to be a social hotel, but over time we realized that creating, for purposes of operation, separate entry points for different kinds of guests, whether it be social, rooftop, restaurant or hotel, was an important aspect. Over time, we started to rethink the way we accessed the property for the guests. We wanted to minimize the impact on the hotel guests but still maximize the social elements of the projects. That's one major lesson that we've learned and that we've continued to refine as we do our design.
Another thing is we are incredibly focused on the little details. The first hotel we did was my first hotel, as well. It was very hard for me to imagine what the end product would look like. When it was finished, I needed to backfill with the throw pillows, the little details that makes a room feel special. We're big believers that the details are the things that people remember and the reason they come back.

Length of Internships
Span of Internship
Each internship spans an academic semester (September through mid-December or mid-January through mid-May).
An Intern's Weekly Schedule
Interns are expected to devote about thirty hours a week for fourteen weeks to their assignments. The exact dates for beginning and ending the internship and any holiday time are agreed on by the intern and the sponsoring organization. The organization allows the intern the equivalent of one day a week for other academic work, either an ILR course (required of interns in Washington, D.C., and New York City), or a course taken at a nearby institution, to ensure the twelve credits necessary to maintain full-time status and to qualify for financial aid.
Summer Internships
Although no credit is granted for work during the summer, many organizations choose to employ interns over the summer months to permit work assignments that require more than a semester to complete.

Here is a method to learn what the correct "platform" is. Extend your shooting arm straight forward with your palm facing up and let the ball sit comfortably your hand (fingers comfortably apart). Now in one motion, bend the elbow while rotating the forearm, wrist and hand outward and upward, and under the ball so that the ball is now resting on your hand above your right shoulder with the wrist cocked back.
The shoulder is the "hinge", the elbow points toward the hoop and an "L" is formed by the forearm and the arm (looking from the shooting arm side). Your elbow should be in and pointing at the basket.
The position of the shooting hand's thumb is important. The shooting thumb should be pointing upward at about a 45 degree angle left (right-handed shooter). This will cause the elbow to naturally fall under the ball. I have seen some young players with the thumb too far under the ball and pointing straight leftward, which causes the elbow to fly outward (see the photo). So if your shooter's release looks a little goofy, has side-spin, or the elbow is flying, look at the position of the thumb... a very simple concept that's easy to fix.
Shooting instructor Tom Nordland teaches the open stance and believes that we should forget about the elbow, that the important thing is the position of the hand, which is best aligned with the ball and the basket, with the shooter using an open stance. He believes that the elbow will naturally be out 4-6 inches.
On the other hand, if you are more comfortable shooting with your body turned in toward the shooting side, then the set point can be more in front of your face. You will have to find which method works best for you.
Also, it is best that the ball is as high as your forehead, or even higher (if you are strong enough or close to the basket), in order to keep your shot from being blocked. But do not cock the ball back over the top of (or behind) your head. This results in a "slinging" motion and a flatter shot.Finally, younger players who have less strength will have a lower set point, perhaps even below the shoulder, in order to get more power. As the youngster matures, the set point should move higher.
Move farther away as you get better, but do not sacrifice correct technique. Practice shooting from locations where you will likely shoot from in a game.
There are some excellent shooting videos (DVD's) that will help you. Tom Nordland's excellent SWISH Video/DVD will help you learn how to shoot, and is a great teaching tool for coaches wanting to learn how to correctly teach shooting form. Hal Wissel has several excellent Shooting DVD's that will take players and coaches to the next level. I highly recommend all of these DVD's.

Life After HP
Nancy Kilty finding a new career, personal fulfillment through financial planning
|Posted February 23, 2009
"Retirees in Action," a new series on hpNOW, showcases HP retirees and alumni who are active in the business world and their communities. If you know a member of the HP Retiree and Alumni Outreach program who might be a good candidate for this series, please email hpNOW.
When Nancy Kilty decided to accept HP's early retirement package in 2001, she had clear criteria for her next career. "I wanted a job that would challenge me mentally and allow me to age gracefully — a job where my age and personal experience would add value," she says. "I wanted personal flexibility and I wanted to help people."
After more than 30 years in various marketing roles at Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC), Compaq and HP, Kilty says she started her new career quest with a freedom she had not felt since she was 16 years old.
First, she took a full year to travel the world and consider her options. During that year, she began to think that financial planning might be a good field, even though she had no experience in that area.
At the end of her "year of exploration," Kilty met with an old friend and mentor, Paul J. Mauro, owner of Legacy Financial Advisors in Milford, Massachusetts, who encouraged her to explore the financial planning idea.
"Paul told me I had the energy and vitality to work in this challenging industry," she said. "Although I had an educational background in math — and plenty of work and life experience — the financial planning field, which focuses on estate, investment, taxes, retirement and risk planning, was largely unknown to me."
In order to learn more about the business, Kilty took advantage of a grant offered by Employment and Training Resources in Marlboro, Massachusetts.
Designed for retraining displaced workers, the grant covered the cost of training for one year. So Kilty decided to pack three years of Certified Financial Planning instruction into one.
Armed with her new knowledge, she joined Legacy Financial Advisors, where she is today. (She suggests that former HP employees wanting to learn more about grant money go to www.etrcc.com and click on "for job seekers" and then "special dislocated worker grants.")
Although Kilty was busy and happy in her new career, she found herself missing colleagues and friends from DEC and Compaq. Inspired by a small group of former DEC employees who also wanted to stay connected, she worked with the Digital Retiree Association to expand its mission to include all former DEC employees and offer more services and support.
The new organization, The Dec Connection, fosters communication among its members through its website. She now serves on the board of the organization, which is one of the most active DEC/Compaq/HP retiree groups in the United States, with members involved in many social, educational and community events.
"It's amazing how involved, how vital and how valuable some HP retirees are," Kilty says. She welcomes interaction with other HP retirees and alumni, and encourages retirees, especially those in this time of transition, to contact her.
She recently took on a new project to help guide her condo association through the reconstruction of her 18-unit condominium building, which was destroyed by fire on October 31, 2008. Located in Lexington, Massachusetts, the building was formerly the Hancock School, a National Historic Landmark. While the repair work is under way, Kilty is living in Watertown, Massachusetts, with her identical twin.
"I'm blessed in this chapter of my life, to be in roles that fulfill my need to help, to be challenged and to be valued for my experience," Kilty says. "For me, it is rewarding to help people manage through these tough times in ways they otherwise might not have done."

CALGARY - Albertans in the so-called "sandwich generation" on average have currently saved the most money for retirement compared with other regions of the country.
A BMO Nesbitt Burns study, released Tuesday, said Albertans in that generation, which are aged 45-64, have saved $491,000 - much higher than the national average of $258,000.
In the survey, Albertans said $970,000 was the average amount needed in order to have an ideal retirement lifestyle. For Canadians, it was $818,000.
The study also found that: 53 per cent of the sandwich generation in Alberta, and 55 per cent nationally, are currently caring for their children, aging relatives or both; 32 per cent in Alberta, and about one-third in Canada, currently care for a parent or older relative; and 47 per cent in Alberta, with 39 per cent nationally, are concerned that being in the situation of caring for others will impact their ability to meet key financial goals, including saving for retirement.
"There's a sense among those in the sandwich generation that they're getting squeezed and are being forced to balance a plethora of financial priorities, from paying down their mortgage to saving for their child's education to saving for retirement," said Sylvain Brisebois, regional manager with BMO Nesbitt Burns, in a news release.
"The stress that comes with caring for children and aging relatives, balancing a career and generally keeping up with daily tasks can make it hard to focus on the future and saving for retirement."
The survey found that 76 per cent of Canadians, and 72 per cent of Albertans, are finding the stress of everyday living is affecting their long-term financial goals.

Taylorsville is well on the way to shedding its reputation as a one-horse town when it comes to equestrian tourism.
An estimated 100 trail riders, horse owners, and equine enthusiasts from ages three to 80 assembled at Taylorsville Lake State Park Saturday to enjoy a full day of fun and fundraising in commemoration of Celebrate Kentucky Trails Day, a state-wide holiday that is only a year old.
While yesterday morning's relentless downpours kept most people indoors, nearly one hundred courageous youngsters with cancer jumped into their swim wear and ponchos and headed for Taylorsville Lake.
Since 1981, dozens of kids hailing from around Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio have come together every year for Indian Summer Camp, a free, week-long, non-profit program that is meant to improve the quality of life and raise the spirits of kids who are currently battling cancer or who have beaten the illness.
Taylorsville commissioners are looking into the idea of building a small park across from city hall. The proposal, presented by Main Street Committee Chairman John Shircliffe, included a long, meandering sidewalk with benches and a clock tower anchored by a short, brick wall.
"I'd like to donate that clock as part of the effort," Shircliffe told commissioners at last Tuesday's meeting.
Citizens Union Bank and its parent company, Citizens Union Bancorp, each has a new board chairman following the resignation of Dr. Edward B. Hayes of Shelbyville.
Hayes, chairman of both boards since 1993, will be succeeded by Steven Barker, who will take over as chairman of the company's board, and by Stephen Solomon, who will take over as chairman of the bank's board. Both are longtime board members.
The Kentucky Public Service Commission today released the reports from its investigation into Kentucky Power Co. (American Electric Power) after the outages following the December 2009 snow storm in eastern Kentucky.
The PSC, according to a press release, found the utility paid more attention to clearing vegetation from lines nearest substations. As a result, customers living farther from substations are more likely to have their electric power interrupted.
Taylorsville was recently awarded a $2,600 safety grant from the Kentucky League of Cities Insurance Services.
"It's a blessing in tough economic times," said Mayor Don Pay. "Safety is one of those issues you don't want to skimp on."
City officials will use a small portion of the funds to purchase protective hearing equipment for employees, while the rest will benefit the general public in the form of traffic cones, barricades, traffic warning signs and flashing lights.
Property transfers
The following property transfers were recorded in the Spencer County Clerk's office during the month of March 2010.
Brian Scott Heiman and Stacy M. Heiman, Taylorsville to Kevin R. Wheatley and Desiree D. Wheatley, Taylorsville. Lot 81 Early Wyne Plantation. $216,000.
Brandon R. Harris and Kimberly M. Harris, Bowling Green to Gordon Tube and Vicki Taube, Mt. Eden. Lot 31 Audubon Park II. $164,000.
Michael A. McCarthy Jr., of Taylorsville, has been indicted with 23 other people in a Jefferson County court on several counts of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine.
Authorities with the Louisville branch of the Drug Enforcement Administration believe that McCarthy, 28, headed up the $5 million cocaine operation. More than 200 pounds of cocaine was being moved from Los Angeles to Louisville on a monthly basis, making it one of the city's largest drug rings, said DEA Assistant Special Agent Tom Gorman.
If Jack Proctor has his way, the Taylorsville City Commissioner will be serving his third two-year term after the November election.
"I'm really fired up about what Spencer County has to offer," said Proctor. "I have no axe to grind. I'm simply for keeping Taylorsville a nice city that folks want to live in."
The St. Matthews Lions Club recently presented a new Lions flag to the Spencer County chapter in memory of Charter Member Lion Elwood Maddox, Sr. for his 19 years of outstanding service to the Spencer County Lions Club. Maddox, who passed away June 15, 2009, served as president, past president, past treasurer and past director. He was also a former grand marshall and chairman of the Eye Foundation and was a "Lions Camper" at Camp Crescendo in Lebanon Junction.
