Personalize this item by adding a monogram
The rollerball pen that continues to win hearts (and hands)
One reason our True Writer rollerball pen has become such a collectible is that we deliver more than we promise. The marvel is that such a fine pen carries such a reasonable price. Its lustrous barrel is even more vibrant than our photography pros can show you.
The True Writer design story
By the end of the last millennium, the ubiquitous disposable pen had just about taken over. Though a few pen companies still catered to serious collectors with elaborate, intricate (and exorbitantly expensive) designs, it had been years since anyone offered a beautifully made everyday pen. Inspired by the Esterbrook Pen Company, which served the writing needs of the general public for almost a hundred years, Levenger set out to inspire contemporary writers with a modern take on the classics. In February, 1999, the very first True Writer was introduced.
Medium weight and diameter make it comfortable for most hands

True Writer Rollerball
TruWriter Poem
It was cool to the touch, yet like silk to my parchment. I was in awe of it's fluidity. Penmanship did not matter as with every stroke of my wrist, a beautiful creation was delivered as each word was written...Carmen, Grand Prairie, TX.

Rolling Along
Jots leave stains of my heart's passion Capturing what is fleeting now Ah, my True Writer calls me forward

Beautiful Pen
I bought this pen as a gift for my husband. While the photos are pretty, I think that they dont due true justice to the beuty of this pen. My husband commented about how light and well balanced it felt in his hand. I scored some a few points with THIS gift.
December 11, 2014
Not just another pretty pen
This is the fist pen I purchased from Levenger, on the advice of a friend. It wont be my last. The price seemed unusual for a pen, but, its more than a pen. It's a statement. Love pulling it out to write a check or sign a receipt. The color is true to how it appears on the website and it ink flows smoothly.

Move Over Mounteverde
This pen was purchased to replace a Mountverde pen that kept malfunctioning. The marbeled barrel is a near perfect match to what I had - the exception was I elected for a fine point rollerball tip vs. a medium point. As previous reviewers noted - the fine point tip is the perfect choice for detailed forms but comes up a bit short on the flawless signature aspect. Over all, I am pleased with the purchase and the pens performance.

Bring Back the Gold
I love the TrueWriter pens, particularly the Kyoto, but the change to silver doesn't make sense. Perhaps the cost to produce a gold tone pen went up? I would be more than willing to pay a premium and believe many others feel the same.
February 18, 2014
Amazing Pen!
I just received this pen in the mail and it is truly amazing! First, it is beautiful. I keep looking at it and seeing all the different specks of color. It's like looking into a prism -- just fascinating. It has a wonderful feel--weighty, yet well-balanced in the hand. It writes smoothly and easily and does not blot. I am completely pleased with this purchase and feel I have a pen that is worthy of a professional image.
January 25, 2014
Wready for Writing
Excellent craftsmanship throughout the pen. Easy to hold and angled correctly for both upright and slanted writing. Easy to use both right and left handed. My wife took my last one as soon as she saw it. Lots of inquiries as to where to buy due to its distinctive style and colors. Shows not wear after 4 years of regular use. Great Product!!
June 15, 2013
Was the perfect pen ....
But I see the former gold fittings are now silver toned. The gold color went perfectly with the brown tortoise shell pen and I need a new one but will wait until the gold returns. I do have a spare fortunately but will miss the convenience of having one in my purse and one in my desk. Silver and brown just are jarring. At least to me. But it is by far the best pen I have ever owned.
January 14, 2013
Beautiful Pen
I just picked up a Kyoto rollerball for myself for Christmas, to go with my beloved Kyoto discs, and I can't even tell you how gorgeous this pen is! The discs are nice, but the pen blows them away! The entire pen is the same glossy, smooth, heavenly resin that you see on the outer edges of the discs. I was concerned that it might look too "busy" with the mix of colors, but it doesn't...it is nothing but classy and amazing! I find myself staring at it because it seems I always notice some new beautiful bit each time. It is weighted perfectly and a sheer pleasure to write with. I look forward to using this pen for years to come.

Human Resources: Information and Standards
Job openings are advertised on the web at https://up.hiretouch.com/. Employees who believe they qualify for any open position are encouraged to apply. Accrued benefits will not be affected unless the new position is of a different employee status than the position being vacated. (back to Employment Information)
Employee Status
The term "status" refers to one's full- or part-time basis of employment. There are three categories to describe employment status with the University:
- Regular full-time: Employees who have successfully completed at least a 90-day trial service period (see below) and are required to work a minimum of 35 hours per week at least nine months per year.
- Regular part-time: Employees who have successfully completed at least a 90-day trial service period (see below) and are required to work at least 17.5 hours per week on a regularly scheduled basis.
- Temporary/on-call: Employees who are hired on a temporary basis for a special project, emergency assignment, or for a special period of time (not to exceed 9 months) and who are not regularly scheduled by their department. (back to Employment Information)
Orientation and Training Period
Employees are expected to complete at least a 90-day training period. (The Public Safety and Physical Plant departments use a 180-day period.) During this period, either the employer or the employee may terminate such employment without advance notice, with compensation being paid up to the date of termination.
Within three days of beginning work as a University employee documentation must be presented to the Office of Human Resources that establishes employee identity and employment eligibility. This I-9 documentation is required by federal immigration laws. Failure to provide the proper documentation will result in immediate termination. (back to Employment Information)
Attendance and Appearance
Each employee represents the University when interacting with students, visitors, and other employees. The University expects employees to report to work on time and to be clean, neat, and dressed appropriately for their job.
Departments must be fully staffed in order to carry out their mission and assist in the mission of the University. Absenteeism and tardiness affects the ability of each department to perform its duties in a timely manner and causes an undue burden for those employees who must fill in.
It is the employee's responsibility to be at work on time and attend to personal affairs during nonworking hours as much as possible. If an employee must be absent or late, he or she is expected to inform his or her supervisor as soon as possible so that coverage can be arranged. Excessive unauthorized absences or tardiness is considered leave without pay and may be grounds for disciplinary action.
Employees are expected to maintain good personal health standards that will allow them to perform duties in a competent manner on a regular basis. While the University has no official dress code, employees are expected to pay special attention to, and exercise good judgment regarding, matters of personal hygiene and appropriate attire. If a supervisor determines that an employee is not meeting departmental expectations, he or she will bring the matter to the employee's attention. (back to Employment Information)
Working Hours and Overtime
The University recognizes a five-day work week, generally from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with one unpaid hour for lunch. Certain departments may require differing schedules due to the nature of their duties and responsibilities. These schedules must be approved by the immediate supervisor and the Human Resources Office.
Two fifteen (15) minute rest breaks are authorized each working day (one morning and one afternoon), and count as time worked. The actual start time of these rest breaks for each individual are at the discretion of the immediate supervisor. Time does not accrue for unused breaks and they will not be considered compensable time. Oregon law also requires an employer to provide an unpaid meal period of not less than 30 minutes to each non-exempt employee who works six or more hours in a work period.
In accordance with federal and state wage and hour laws, hourly employees will be paid the rate of time and one-half for work performed in excess of 40 hours per week. Compensatory time is not permitted, and all hours worked must be shown on the time card. Overtime hours require advance approval by the appropriate supervisor prior to their completion. Any falsification or alteration of time cards is grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination. (back to Employment Information)
Requests for Accommodation
The University of Portland is committed to complying fully with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and applicable state disability discrimination laws. Accordingly, the University of Portland will make reasonable accommodations when appropriate for qualified applicants and/or employees with disabilities, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the University, in accordance with the ADA.
The University is committed to evaluating and responding to requests for accommodation by following an interactive, confidential and individualized process, as described in the ADA. If you are an employee with concerns about accomplishing the essential functions of your job due to a disability and are in need of reasonable accommodation, or if you are a manager/supervisor who has received an accommodation request from a direct report, please contact Human Resources to proceed. You may contact Stacey Watanabe, Employee Relations Specialist, at x8784 or email@example.com, email the Human Resources office at firstname.lastname@example.com, or you are welcome to stop by the Human Resources offices, Waldschmidt Hall rooms 501-504.
Payroll and Salary Advances
For hourly employees, paydays occur on the 5th and 20th of each month. Salaried employees are paid on the last business day of each month. Payment is made through direct deposit and employees receive an e-mail confirmation that includes a statement of earnings. (For those without direct deposit, paychecks can be printed and sent to the respective offices through campus mail.) Direct deposit authorization forms can be found at this link. To use this service, contact the Payroll Office.
All new employees must report to the Human Resources Office within the first three days of employment to complete a I-9 and other necessary payroll forms. Any changes in withholding status, address, or legal name must be reported to the Payroll Office.
The University does not normally allow salary advances. If there is an instance of extreme hardship, the employee's manager may send a request to the Vice President for Financial Affairs to approve an exception. If the exception is approved, the advance will be limited to 50% of the employee's regular salary or wages and will be deducted from the employee's pay on their next regular pay date. An employee may be approved for only one such exception per calendar year. (back to Employment Information)
Probationary Period:
On their date of hire, regular full- and part-time employees begin a 90-day probationary period in which they are oriented to the university, their department and responsibilities. (Employees in the Physical Plant and Public Safety departments are subject to a 180-day probationary period.) The probationary period is a time for assessment of an employee's skills and appropriate fit for the position. During the probationary period, vacation and sick leave are earned, but may not be used for pay. Time off of work during the probationary period will be leave without pay. The probationary period is a "no fault" period of early engagement when employment can be terminated without cause.
At the end of the probationary period, the supervisor will assess the employee's performance and meet to deliver a written evaluation. Completed evaluations should be forwarded to Human Resources to be placed in the employee's personnel file. (see Personnel File section below)
Annual Performance Evaluation:
The employee's performance will be reviewed and a written performance evaluation given at least annually. Written evaluations are for the purpose of assisting with development and establishing a record of work performance. The job description and work standards, as well as the supervisor's direct experience and observations, provide a basis for the evaluation. The employee may be given the opportunity to complete a self-evaluation of performance for the review period. In addition, the supervisor may utilize feedback from the employee's peers, key partners on campus, and direct reports (if applicable) to assist in the review of performance.
The supervisor will prepare the written evaluation and review it with the employee, providing copies for both the employee and the employee's personnel file. After the evaluation meeting with the supervisor, the employee is asked to sign the evaluation. Signing acknowledges receipt but not necessarily agreement.
If there are objections to the evaluation, a written rebuttal may be presented to the supervisor within 10 days of receipt of the evaluation. This response is filed with the evaluation and a copy will be forwarded to Human Resources for inclusion in the employee's personnel file. An employee may request that the next level manager or Human Resources review the evaluation if they feel it is inaccurate or unfair.
Off Cycle Performance Evaluation:
Employees who fail to meet established standards of attendance, work performance, or conduct may receive an off cycle evaluation to address performance concerns. This review may be paired with a formal Performance Improvement Plan. This provides an opportunity for a supervisor to clarify work expectations and for an employee to work toward an acceptable performance level. Failure to meet established work expectations may result in further corrective action or termination of employment.
Any employee with questions or concerns about performance evaluations may contact Human Resources.
Resources for Supervisors on Performance Evaluations
-Templates for evaluation forms are available for download.
-Slides from Human Resources' training for supervisors are available here.
-Any supervisor who is interested in receiving training on performance evaluations should contact Human Resources.
Personnel Files
The Human Resources and Payroll Offices maintain up-to-date personnel and payroll records for all current employees. Please notify the Human Resources Office of changes that affect employment or benefit status, such as marriage, divorce, new address, childbirth or adoption, etc.
Employees may access individual personnel files, excluding confidential pre-employment reference information, during normal business hours. Access to these files is by appointment only and is restricted to the employee, an authorized agent of the employee, and authorized administrators or supervisors. While authorized individuals may request to see an employee's file or make copies at their own expense, the file may not be removed from the office.
In the case of dispute regarding information contained in an employee's personnel file, the employee has the right to submit a written statement clarifying, correcting, or refuting said contents. Any such statements will be attached to the applicable document(s). (back to Employment Information)
Employee Recognition
University staff are recognized for excellence in carrying out their duties and contributing to the mission of the University. Every year, the University expresses gratitude to its employees (and former employees) at a Christmas luncheon. The program for this luncheon includes recognition for employees reaching important milestones in their period of service to the University (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 years). Several other honors are awarded to honor outstanding service in a variety of employee classifications. (back to Employment Information)
To learn more about the awards offered, here is a link to our University Staff Awards.
We ask that when a staff member makes the decision to leave the University, he or she should contact their direct supervisor as soon as possible in order to transition critical work and begin the recruitment process for a replacement. Human Resources will need three business days in order to set up the final paycheck and schedule an exit interview. The manager or office assistant can set this up through the Termination form on-line.
Decisions by the University to terminate employment based on performance or disciplinary reasons will include a final check through the last day worked and any accrued vacation pay. Position Eliminations will include the last day worked, accrued vacation pay and a formula considering years of service as determined by Human Resources. (back to Employment Information)
Employees should refrain from selling merchandise on campus. Outside agents are not permitted to solicit on campus. Solicitations for humanitarian or human services purposes (such as Catholic Charities) that are sponsored and approved by the University are permitted but will be kept to a minimum.
Clarifications and questions may be directed to the Director of Human Resources. Employees are urged to report unauthorized solicitation efforts immediately to the Office of Public Safety.
For further information follow this link to Student Activities' policy on solicitation. (back to Employment Information)
A University-wide travel policy governs how travel expenses involving University funds are conducted. The full text of this policy is available on the Controller's website. (back to Employment Information)
Use of University Equipment and Supplies
Vehicles, equipment, supplies and other items that are the property of the University are not to be utilized for personal use. Departmental directors should provide guidance for the proper use of institutional equipment and property under their jurisdiction.
The theft, destruction, or unauthorized use of University equipment and property is subject to disciplinary action.
While every effort is made to ensure a safe and secure environment for our students and employees, no campus is completely free of crime. Employees are encouraged to exercise good judgment and safety precautions regarding any personal property brought to campus. Purses, wallets, briefcases, electronic equipment, computers, etc. should be kept securely in your office or workspace. University insurance coverage does not extend to personal property of employees. (back to Employment Information)
Identification Cards
Employee Identification Cards are issued by the Office of Public Safety to regular full-time and part-time employees. The ID card is necessary for cashing checks on campus, using the library, participating in University programs, and for admittance to certain campus buildings and facilities. Eligible employees may obtain their card from the Office of Public Safety during regular business hours. (back to Employment Information)
Parking and Transportation
The University requires that all vehicles used for transportation to and from campus be registered with the Office of Public Safety . There is no charge for this registration.
Employees will be issued a parking permit that allows them to park in certain designated areas on campus. There is no charge for the permit but violation of parking rules and regulations will result in fines and possible towing.
To learn more about the designated parking areas on campus, please obtain a copy of the brochure "Campus Traffic and Parking Regulations"which is available free at the Office of Public Safety.
The University encourages employees to seek out and use alternate means of transportation for travel to and from the campus through its Sustainable Transportation Options Program (STOP). Special incentives are available for use of mass transit and car pools and the University partners with Zipcar, a car-sharing program. The University also runs a shuttle connecting campus to TriMet's Interstate/Lombard station for the Yellow Max Line. (back to Employment Information)
Record Retention and Disposal
The purpose of this policy is to create a standard for University personnel with respect to the retention of documents and records created or maintained in the course of institutional business, and to ensure that records that are no longer needed or of no value are destroyed at the appropriate time.
Each department head periodically will review currently-used records and forms to determine whether these records and forms are adequate and appropriate for each department's requirements. In addition, each department head will ensure compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
Many departments must maintain their own retention and destruction policy based on their internal and external requirements. It is the responsibility of the department head to inform all employees within the department of their policy. In addition, each department head will ensure that all employees within the department adhere to their policy.
For the full text of this policy, follow this link. (back to Employment Information)
Emergency Closure
In cases of inclement weather, the University will make the decision to close or delay opening of school by 6:00 a.m. This decision will be available by calling the University's snow hotline: 503-943-SNOW (7669) or by viewing the "recent events" area on the University's home page.
The information will also be relayed to all major broadcast stations in the
KATU Channel 2 (LINK TO: http://www.katu.com/)
KGW Channel 8 (LINK TO: http://www.kgw.com/)
KOIN Channel 6 (LINK TO: http://www.koin.com/)
School closure includes University academic and business offices and employees are not expected to report for work (except for the emergency crew). If school opens late, employees are expected to report for work at the announced time. If no delay or cancellation is planned, no announcement will be made.
In the event the University is closed due to an emergency or bad weather, all events will be canceled except NCAA games or events for which there is a contractual agreement, including ASUP- or department-sponsored events, or events in which a non-UP customer has contracted to use campus facilities. A decision as to canceling events for which there is a contractual agreement will be made on a case-by-case basis after review and analysis. Such decisions will be made as early in the day as possible, or at the latest by 3:00 p.m. (back to Employment Information)

SA board approves purchase of laptops for high school program
The South Adams School board took the first step in implementing its 1:1 high school laptop program during Tuesday evening's board meeting by unanimously approving Superintendent Scott Litwiller's recommendation for a 4-year lease agreement with Medical and Municipal Funding to purchase approximately 420 laptops. This decision allows technology director Myra Moore to order the laptops immediately.
The plan is to purchase the Dell laptops at a cost of $615. This cost is slightly higher than the $595 for the Lenovo laptops that was also considered, but it is still within the budgeted amount of $650. The Dell laptops do not have as high of balloon cost/value as the Lenovo.
The first year lease payment is $114,346; second year lease payment is $65,372; third year lease payment is $38,427; and the fourth year lease payment is $18,438; $55,000 from the CPF budget for new freshman laptops will also be added to each of these payments.
Moore also reported on the Tech Fair that took place at South Adams on March 1. According to Moore, the fair was a success with 49 teachers and staff from all three schools and a variety of grades attending. She also stated that she has seen a variety of ideas put into practice in the classroom since the fair.
In personnel news, the board approved the resignation of four South Adams employees.
Lana Schwartz, a fifth grade teacher, has worked at South Adams for 19 years and has a total of 24 years in public education. Her resignation is effective as of March 9.
Barb McDonald, a fifth grade teacher, will resign effective at the end of the school year.
Joan Morgan, who has been a cook at South Adams for 25 years, will be resigning. Her career at South Adams began in 1987 at the Berne Elementary.
Carol Cummings has been in public education for 37 years, 34 of those at South Adams. She has been an art teacher, a fourth grade teacher, Title I coordinator/teacher, and is resigning in the post as Title I director for South Adams. Her resignation is effective at the end of the school year.
The board also unanimously approved the hiring of three employees.
Kristi Cressman was approved as a Title I teacher to replace Janine Felabom. Cressman is currently a teacher aide in Felabom's room and will take over the teacher position effective April 2.
Betsy Minnich was hired as an elementary teacher for the fourth grading period of the 2011-2012 school year. She will finish out the school year in Lana Schwartz's fifth grade classroom. She has been substitute teaching for Schwartz.
The final employment approved was the position of athletic secretary. Under the recommendation of athletic director Mike Pries, the board approved the hiring of Jenn Neuenschwander to replace Connie Shady as athletic secretary. The board also approved Neuenschwander to begin working as soon as the necessary paperwork was completed, and they approved her contract for 210 days at the request of Pries. This would allow her to begin work approximately a week before fall sports begin practice and to work approximately a week after spring sports end.
In student news, the board recognized the winter athletes who participated in the IHSAA state tournament.
Cady Farlow, a freshman swimmer, qualified for the girls swimming state meet in the 100 meter freestyle and the 100 meter breaststroke. Farlow holds the school record in both the 100 meter freestyle and the 100 meter breaststroke. She also broke the Jay County Sectional record in the 100 meter breaststroke. She is daughter of Rod and Tara Farlow.
The other three students recognized were Todd Batt, Sawyer Miller, and LJ Moser. All three boys qualified for the state wrestling tournament held in Indianapolis.
Batt, a senior and son of Troy and Carrie Young, qualified to wrestle in the 132-pound class and was the runner-up in the state meet. He holds the South Adams' record for the most wins by a wrestler at 152. He is also the first South Adams wrestler to be a state runner-up. Batt was also invited to participate in the Indiana-Illinois Wrestling Tournament of Champions in DeKalb, Illinois on March 10 through March 11. He defeated an Illinois state champion at the event.
Miller, a freshman and son of Roger and Jessica Miller, qualified in the 103-pound class and placed fourth in the state meet.
Moser, a junior and son of Dave and Kay Neuenschwander, qualified in the 112-pound class.
The board also approved the overnight field trip request by the vocational department for Gary McMillian and Jerod Dailey to use a white bus to travel to Indianapolis to take six students to participate in the State Skills USA Contest on April 13 through April 14.

Q:Is this an antiperspirant deodorant? And how do I keep it fresh? To me it just looks like a bar of soap that would get moldy sitting in the air.Asked on 9/22/2014 by RY to the RY from The North Pole
4 answers
A:It's not an antiperspirant, but if you pair it with one of our dusting powders it will suck up all the excess moisture!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Anonymous
A:It works best as a deodorant! The bar is actually comprised of pressed powder so it will not dry out, but we still recommend you keep it in a container as it can get a bit crumbly.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:It's a deodorant. I can get really stinky and moist at times. This stuff
smells pretty good and totally stops the stink. The only thing is that it
can be a little messy when it starts crumbling. I far prefer it to any of
the drug store deodorants I have used in the past and it's far better than
the straight up baking soda that I used for a time.
I hope this helps.
LAnswered on 9/22/2014 by Anonymous
A:It's not an antiperspirant. It is antibacterial because tea tree oil is. It's like a pressed powder, has the consistency of a bath bimb. Doesn't get moldy, it's not wet. I keep mine in an empty container from lush of one of the jelly soaps, it's perfect and it lasts a really long time. I'm not sure it needs to be stored in anything because its dry, but it seems like a good idea and I think it lasts longer. You could set it on a small dish, like a soap dish. It's not wet though.

Q:If you don't use the blue side, what is it there for?Asked on 2/21/2014 by gpuck from Fort Worth, Tx

A:The wax is included at the bottom half of the bar to give you something to hold on to while applying the product, in addition to aiding the bar in keeping its shape. It makes the application much more user friendly!Answered on 3/26/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:It's wax to have something to hold on to so it doesn't get on your hand, and it also does not produce as much waste as a traditional plastic container.Answered on 3/12/2014 by Anonymous

Q:Does it smell citrusy?Asked on 12/29/2013 by Chelsey Lace from Thousand Oaks, CA

Q:Maybe a dumb question, but are the ingredients in T'eo organic?Asked on 4/21/2013 by Anna from Texas
1 answer
A:We use organic ingredients as much as possible, and this is listed in the ingredients whenever it's the case! For transparency, we refer to an ingredient as organic only if it is 100% organic, so we under-report our use of organic ingredients in our listings quite a bit!Answered on 9/24/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
Q:How should one store this item? Does it fit in the massage bar tin? Any ideas for travel besides a plastic baggy?
-AmandaAsked on 8/24/2012 by Amanda from Chicago, IL
2 answers
A:It does fit whole in the tins, however to store and use I crumble mine up into a powder and store in the tin. It makes applying much easier and less messy. Put some powder in your hand and rub under your arm - no mess. And it travels well while in the tin.Answered on 6/20/2013 by Randy N from Chicago, IL
A:T'eo does indeed fit in the massage bar tin (with extra space) as well as the body butter tin. Generally, I find the tins a good way to transport the deodorants for travel.Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:how do you store this product? does it fit in any of the other lush tins?Asked on 5/24/2012 by Gretch from Boston, Ma
2 answers
A:It doesn't really fit in the tins. I keep it in the bag from the store, and outside of the bathroom so that it doesn't absorb moisture from the shower.Answered on 5/30/2012 by Tara from Winter Haven, FL
A:Unfortunately, T'eo does not fit into any of the LUSH tins until it has been used a couple of times and worked down a little bit. As long as it is stored in a cool, dry place away from any moisture the bar should be fine.Answered on 9/5/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

Josh Smith scored 29 points, and the Atlanta Hawks built a 17-point halftime lead before foiling a second-half comeback try to earn a 102-91 victory Monday against the visiting Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of a first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. The result tied the series 2-2, with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday in Indianapolis.
After struggling for much of the second half, Smith made every big play down the stretch. He swished a three-pointer, came up with a big offensive rebound to set up a three-pointer by Kyle Korver, then finished off a fast break with a right-handed dunk.

Kings look to be staying put
The Sacramento Kings seem to be staying put, possibly ending an emotional saga that has dragged on for nearly three years.
The NBA's relocation committee voted unanimously to recommend that owners reject the application for the Kings to relocate to Seattle. The 12 owners on the committee made the decision on a conference call and forwarded their recommendation to the NBA board of governors.
The board, which is made up of all 30 owners, will convene during the week of May 13 to vote on the matter. While the recommendation doesn't guarantee the Kings will stay put, it's difficult at this point to imagine how they won't.
Shortly after the announcement of the committee's recommendation, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnston tweeted: ''That's what I'm talking about SACRAMENTO!!!!! WE DID IT!!!!!''

Find The Best Short Hairstyles For You!
With so many celebs rocking short 'dos, the tough part isn't deciding if you should chop your hair but whose cut to steal. To help you pick, celeb hair guru Bridget Brager (she works with Haillee Steinfeld and Keirnan Shipka) breaks down the most flattering short styles for your face shape.
By Liz Doupnik
"Diamond faces are angular, with high cheekbones that are wider than your brow and jaw."
What To Ask For: Short cuts with choppy layers, blunt cuts withbangs, or face-framing layers work really well!
What To Avoid: "You don't want to add height on top, and skip the middle part, which can look unbalanced."

Anderson, Batiuk, Conklin, Gurtzweiler, Hock and Troike Lauded for Their Teaching Skills
November 6, 2012

They are: Monte Anderson, professor of agriculture; Mary Ellen Batiuk, professor of social and political studies; Alfred Conklin, professor of chemistry and agriculture; Dorothy Gurtzweiler, professor of communication arts; Lois Hock, professor of theatre; Don Troike, professor of biology.

Batiuk is in her 40th year of college teaching and 29th at WC, which includes a period as dean of correctional education. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Marygrove College and a Master of Arts and Ph.D. from Washington University.
Conklin joined the chemistry and agriculture faculties in 1976. A multiple Fulbright Fellow that shared his expertise in Africa and the Philippines, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Transylvania College, a Master of Arts from Fisk University and his Ph.D. from the University of Arizona.

In every pouch of Simply Hemp Milk, there are 9 Tablespoons of Nutiva hemp seeds. That is why the milk is so creamy when you blend it up. The other hemp milks use far less hemp seeds and add fillers like carrageenan to make the "milk" creamier. Because they use drastically more hemp seeds, you get drastically more health benefits from not only a bunch of great protein, but the added omegas and fiber as well!
All of the ingredients used are 100% organic. With the exception of the coconut crystals and the coconut water powder, it is completely raw as well. Many people in the "raw" community consider coconut crystals to be part of a raw diet.
Each pouch will make around 32 oz. of milk, depending on how much water you blend it with. Use a little less for a creamier consistency or a little more to make it last longer. Product is intended to be blended in a blender.
Perfect for smoothies, cereals, pre/post workout, dairy substitute or by itself over ice.

About 81TA's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I don't know how old I was the first time my Grandpa put me in his lap and let me drive, but even though I could barely see over the steering wheel and couldn't begin to reach the pedals, I was hooked! I grew up going to Mo-Kan dragway with my parents and dreamed of being like Shirley Muldowney. I still love the smell of racing fuel and the excitement from feeling the vibrations when an engine revs up. I think the ultimate thrill is driving as fast as you possibly can! I met my husband when I started working for a company that makes radar detectors and mobile electronics and no one there was surprised when we started dating because of our mutual passion for cars. I'm fortunate to be able to enjoy this hobby with him and am grateful for all the friends we have met (and will meet) who share our love of cars!
My first car
1965 Chevy Malibu
Car I wish I still had
The first car I bought with my own money, a 1950 Chevrolet Deluxe.
My dream car

KENTUCKY (3/19/13) - Looking for a way to add a little science to dying your Easter eggs? If so, Jason Lindsey aka "Mr. Science" with Hooked on Science has an idea and all you need are a few ingredients from around the house.
• Vinegar
• Baking Soda
• Food Coloring
• Eye Dropper
• Paint Brush
• Hard Boiled Eggs
STEP 1: Add food coloring and water to the baking soda to create a paste.
STEP 2: Using the paint brush, paint the hard boiled eggs with the food coloring, water, and baking soda mixture.
STEP 3: Using the eye dropper, squeeze the vinegar over the hard boiled eggs and observe.
When you squeezed the vinegar over the hard boiled eggs, which were painted with a mixture that included baking soda, you caused a chemical reaction that created carbon dioxide gas. The vinegar helps the food coloring bind to the shell of the egg creating a unique and colorful design. Go to www.hookedonscience.org for more experiments that might get you and your family "Hooked on Science."

Emergency responders say the man was about a mile into the woods in Westerlo gathering stone for a project, when the tractor rolled over and pinned him underneath. Another man nearby was working with a chainsaw, and when he shut it off, he heard the victim calling for help.
"He was quite a distance away on another road, and when he turned off his chainsaw heard the individual hollering for help. Upon that point he ran through the woods for approximately 45 minutes to find him, and at that point he called emergency services for us to respond," said Tom Diedrich, Westerlo Fire Chief.
Rescue workers had to use a special ATV to get into the woods, to rescue the man. He was flown to the hospital, and there's no word on his condition.

Metts sets new WC hammer record
May 16, 2013
Senior Mason Metts moved up to fifth nationally after setting a new WC record in the hammer throw. (Wilmington file)
DELAWARE – Senior Mason Metts set a new school record and improved his standings for the NCAA meet during the Ohio Wesleyan Last Chance Meet.
With a throw of 193-7, Metts (Pomeroy, OH/Meigs) moved to fifth nationally in setting the new hammer mark. He has also qualified 17th for the NCAA meet in the shot put.
"That is an outstanding throw by Mason in the hammer, increasing the school record he set earlier this year by five feet," said head coach Ron Combs.
Junior Christian Patterson (Cincinnati, OH/Norwood), who has also qualified for the NCAA meet, won the high jump with a jump of 6-8.25. He has qualified third with a jump of 6-11 earlier this season.
While Patterson and Metts were already solidly entrenched in the national meet, several WC athletes were hoping to reach the qualifying mark in their last attempt. For the men, you have to be ranked in the top 20, and the women must be ranked in the top 22 nationally.
Two women's athletes – Marissa Bolen (Gibsonburg, OH/Gibsonburg) and Jenna Parlette (Miamisburg, OH/Miamisburg) – were the closest athletes to reaching the NCAA qualifying mark. Bolen, who came into the meet 25th nationally, finished second with a throw of 40-6, however, she wasn't able to improve on her mark established in the OAC championships.
Parlette won the 10,000 meter run with a time of 37:13.11, but didn't approve her standing and finished 38th nationally.
Four athletes established new personal bests at the Last Chance meet, and another athlete ran a season-best time.
Jake Sydnor (Batavia, OH/Clermont Northeastern) won the 400 with a personal best 49.18, and also established a personal best in the 200 with a time of 22.38. Chad Hirshauer (Cincinnati, OH/Milford) ran a personal best in the 5K with the time of 16:09.17; Tyler Ahle (Bellefontaine, OH/ Benjamin Logan) ran a personal best in the 800 with the time of 2:05.31; and Brad Kline (Circleville, OH/Circleville) set a personal best with a time of 9:50.50 in the steeplechase.
Jake Simpkins (Germantown, OH/Valley View) established a season best in the 800 with the time of 1:56.66.

The Used Maruti Wagon R in Chennai listed in Chennai are available in Petrol & LPG fuel types.
Detroit of India' aka Chennai is the city full of avid auto enthusiasts and hub of automobile manufacturers including exporting courtesy - port. The city also boasts quality roads, flyovers and connecting expressways. Furthermore, the city houses nearby manufacturing facilities of Ford, Hyundai, Nissan/Renault and Royal Enfield to name a few. We dived into the car buying habit of the Chennai folks, lets roll you through it.
Chennai people has a different approach while selling their used cars which is the reason why used car in Chennai market are gaining popularity. The past decade saw nearly 95% increase in car ownership per family plus around 33% of people refrained using public transport. After analysis, it seems that there's a good used car market in Chennai with people changing cars frequently due to increasing maintenance cost. We had a talk with few dealerships across Chennai as per a Maruti dealer, they said that there's a ratio of 50:50 with half of the people changing their cars within 4 years to a new car and they usually prefer to change with Maruti's 'True Value' while others do not sell at all.
For the high end vehicles, dealers of Mercedes Benz, said they usually sell around 50-60 cars monthly, he added that most of the people exchange their old Merc with them. While the Audi dealership added that the Audi owners usually exchange their 'Four Rings' in three years and usually prefer Jubilant MotorWorks' for selling their used ones.

Get an insider's view of the evolution of four critical crime-fighting techniques: ballistics, trace evidence, polygraph tests and criminal profiling.
Today's crime solvers have a veritable arsenal of tools and techniques at their disposal. And while a lot of attention has been paid to DNA evidence lately, it is no more revolutionary than some of the other forensic methods that are now taken for granted.
FORENSIC FIRSTS traces the origins of four critical weapons in the war against crime: ballistics, trace evidence, polygraph tests and criminal profiling. Stories of landmark crimes from the past help show how these techniques were developed and refined during cases like the ""Mad Bomber"" investigation in New York in the 1950s and ""The Praslin Affair,"" which ended in the brutal murder of the daughter of one of Napoleon's generals. And through dramatic re-enactments, we'll meet innovators like Calvin Goddard, the father of modern ballistics, and Leonard Keeler, the designer of the portable polygraph.
With analysis and insight from some of the top criminal investigators and true crime authors in the nation, FORENSIC FIRSTS is a compelling addition to the library of any crime buff.

Hoarding Data Wastes Money
By Anne Kershaw
Virtually everyone is hoarding data they no longer need, and it's costing employers significant sums of money and draining scarce resources to maintain and expand electronic data storage. Yet, when hard drives and file shares are analyzed, we find that 80 percent of these ostensibly "active" files and folders have not been accessed for three to five years. This results in unnecessary IT expenditures for infrastructure, disaster recovery, and data migration as old servers and systems are retired.
Some organizations also have tens of thousands of backup tapes in storage, all of which are essentially useless, yet they are generating storage fees and excess costs if included in discovery for litigation.
Most of the costs associated with unnecessary data hoarding are hidden, out of sight and out of mind. One example of such hidden costs is lost productivity when employees have to wade through unused and unwanted information to find what they need. Another example occurs when employees forgo the potential informational value of content management systems because there is too much clutter to wade through.
While specific operational costs are appreciable, the most visible costs can be legal expenses. Even if a company had not been obligated to keep unused data, if it still has that data when a legal matter arises and a legal hold is issued, there is an obligation to preserve and produce relevant or potentially relevant information during discovery in that litigation. In essence, the legal hold trumps the company's right to dispose of information not needed for specific operational or regulatory requirements.
This can be extraordinarily expensive: The discovery process often involves having rooms full of attorneys examining records to determine their responsiveness to discovery requests or subpoenas and whether the records are confidential or privileged. Billing rates for all this work range from $60 per hour for contract attorneys to between $300 and $400 per hour for associates. Such legal review bills are often the largest single expense in litigation and can quickly mount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Average costs for collecting, processing and reviewing electronic data for legal matters can exceed $10,000 to $20,000 per gigabyte, depending on a number of factors. If the data had been disposed of when eligible for disposition, before the legal matter arose, none of those costs would have been incurred.
In other words, managers can do more than complain about the hemorrhaging of corporate funds during litigation: They can proactively and appropriately dispose of unnecessarily hoarded data.
Companies are also increasingly feeling the sting of state privacy legislation that requires notification of state officials and implicated state citizens if private information such as Social Security numbers or credit card numbers is breached or disclosed.
Massachusetts is at the forefront of this movement. Belmont Bank in Massachusetts, for example, recently discovered that a backup tape had been left on a table and disposed of by the cleaning crew. It appears the tape had been incinerated and not actually disclosed to third parties, but the bank nonetheless had to pay a $7,500 civil penalty.
Damages in individual incidents involving the actual loss of credit card information have exceeded $100 million, such as in the TJX credit card breach and the Heartland payment systems breach. And the reputational injury to a company can be even more damaging than the direct dollar damages, as few customers, employees or suppliers want to be told their private information has been compromised.
To state the obvious, hackers and thieves can't take what you don't have. The best protection against a privacy breach is to dispose of data as soon as it is no longer needed for business purposes or legal matters.
Tech, Organizational Factors
The massive accumulation of unnecessary data is a phenomenon that stems from several technical and organizational factors. From a technology standpoint, the growth of high-bandwidth Internet connections and the decrease in the price of drive storage have made it very easy to move and store large numbers of documents and files. Few managers were concerned about what was being stored when it seemed on the surface to be so cheap to just keep everything.
From an organizational standpoint, typically no one is actively involved in limiting the amount of data that is being stored. Records management is concerned with the retention of scheduled records: important business documents or other documents that have been identified as being official records of the company. IT provides and maintains the organization's network infrastructure, but not the data within it.
Business unit managers don't see a budget line item for all the costs associated with unused or unneeded data, so they don't make it a management priority—at least, not until hundreds of gigabytes get swept up in a legal matter or government investigation, and the bill for legal review hits their desks or email inboxes. This is often the corporate coronary event that motivates companies to clean up their records.
So what should a company do if it decides it would like to reduce the risks and costs associated with data hoarding or over-retention?
The first thing is to understand that to the extent data preservation is driven by a concern about legal obligations, the touchstone for avoiding legal difficulties is to make good-faith, reasonable efforts to meet recordkeeping obligations and, ideally, to document those efforts. Perfection is not required.
Furthermore, the company normally is obligated to keep only "a" copy of relevant information, not "all" copies. For example, if data is on the active server, there's little or no need to keep all backups. Recognizing this simple fact can sometimes enable corporations to dispose of tens of thousands of unneeded backup tapes at an enormous savings.
The second thing is to appreciate that having an experienced and properly insured outside consultant or expert who is willing to go on record as authorizing the final disposition of records can facilitate the process. No one inside the organization is comfortable saying "throw it out," and many employees are fully engaged in their normal duties and cannot devote the time that an electronic data housecleaning project requires. They also may not be familiar with the legal standards governing disposition of information and would feel more comfortable having someone else assume the responsibility for directing the disposal of unneeded data and for being the one whose deposition may ultimately be taken, should anyone question the disposition decision.
When a housecleaning program is launched, the records retention and legal hold programs are reviewed to confirm that they include electronic information and are operating in a reasonable and defensible fashion. The basic inquiry here is whether it appears that the proper documents and information are being placed on hold when litigation arises, and that the holds are effective or followed.
As part of the process, a company can also identify those legal holds that have proved particularly burdensome to comply with, with an eye toward potentially narrowing the scope of the hold, renegotiating the hold with the adverse parties or seeking relief from the court. In fact, courts are becoming especially sensitive to the dollar and other costs associated with overly broad preservation efforts.
Categorize Transitory Data
The next step is to categorize the transitory electronic data that is not currently on records retention schedules. This involves different processes for different types of data. File shares should be reviewed to determine the dates of last use of the folders and files.
Physical data containers, such as drives, servers, tapes and other media, are inventoried, and reasonable efforts made to determine their source. If the data is required for business, regulatory or legal hold purposes, it should be placed on retention schedules; if not, it can be disposed of.
For maximum protection, an insured and experienced expert should draft an opinion letter explaining the process and directing the final disposition of unneeded data. If there is ever a challenge to the disposition of the data, the corporation can point to this process and its associated documentation as evidence of their good-faith effort to comply with its recordkeeping obligations.
Such e-housecleaning efforts have a tremendous ROI. Some clients have been able to take thousands of backup tapes off hold, and others have freed up significant percentages of their available file share space—all of this in addition to avoiding discovery and data breach costs.
It is important to be aware of, and prepared for, the executive or business unit that insists on holding onto unused data, claiming that they may someday need to access that data. The most effective way of dealing with just-in-case hoarders is to let the them keep their data, but with the understanding that they are now in fact the "owner" of the data with all the incidents of ownership.
That means they will be allocated all the costs of ownership, including data storage, backup and data breach responsibility, and all legal costs associated with the review and production of the data if it is ever swept into litigation discovery or governmental investigations. Once they understand the full costs associated with owning the data, executives or business units inevitably opt to dispose of unused and unneeded data.
