Sept 28 - Oregon Pacific Bank's (OTCBB: ORPB) Trust and Wealth Management division is pleased to announce that the Trust Department of South Valley Bank & Trust is now part of Oregon Pacific Bank's comprehensive fiduciary services organization.
In the wake of Washington Federal's pending acquisition of South Valley Bank & Trust, Oregon Pacific Bank is merging South Valley's trust department into its own well established trust and wealth management division. Washington Federal does not offer trust services while Oregon Pacific Bank has the resources to encompass South Valley's former trust department.
"We are delighted with the new relationship with Oregon Pacific Bank," says Diane Dombras, the former South Valley vice president responsible for the bank's trust department. "Oregon Pacific Bank gives our clients a firm foundation with expanded services, and more financial management options than ever."
"Our clients who have wills, trusts, agency accounts or conservatorships, can look forward with total confidence to our continued dedication to client service and to the backing of an institution with deep roots and expertise in wealth management," said Dombras. "You'll still get a live person on the phone, your accounts won't change, and your relationship manager remains in place. The only difference is that we're called Oregon Pacific Bank, and that we're bigger and better than before." Dombras has been named as vice president and manager of Oregon Pacific Bank's Trust and Wealth Management, Medford office.
Oregon Pacific Bank President Jim Clark welcomes the expansion of the Trust & Wealth Management service area. "If there is anything we can offer to enhance the relationship between South Valley's Trust Department's clients and our local experts, we want them to know that we're here to serve," says Clark. "Oregon Pacific Bank is adding a fine, experienced staff and professional account management to the mix. This is not a takeover, this is simply a transition. Clients will notice only that additional services are available to enhance their strategic planning for long-term financial strength."
"Oregon Pacific Bank was established on Dec. 17, 1979, as a state-chartered bank with headquarters in Florence, Ore. Trust and wealth management services were introduced in 1996 in order to provide a full array of financial services to the communities in which we serve," states Pat Riley, senior vice president and director of Oregon Pacific Bank's Trust & Wealth Management. "We are committed to bringing our clients comprehensive and individualized wealth management solutions along with the same high level of client service that they have enjoyed with South Valley Bank & Trust."
"We welcome client questions and suggestions. My staff and I are available during this transition," adds Riley.
Many of the products offered by Oregon Pacific Bank's Trust and Wealth Management Division are not FDIC insured, are not guaranteed by Oregon Pacific Bank and are subject to a loss of principal.

I've been looking for this also, edit your post if you find one.
As the title suggest are there any guides out there for BiS arms warrior pre-raid gear? Looking to change to arms from fury and want to see if such a guild exsist's.

I got online today looking for the same thing myself. The only thing remotely close is on Maxdps.com, and they have used poor choices for stat priorities and ability ranks in rotation (so it's not helpful).
It is important to keep in mind that in terms of raid readiness, having everything BiS is not as critical as having your stats optimized and having a good rotation/grasp of play mechanics. Also, what item you get for a particular slot may be limited by it's cost in gold, rep, emblems, or farm ability. If the BiS is 20,000g on the A-H, but an almost as good item drops off a heroic boss, you may want to grab some buddies and farm the heroic. Please note that there are several high ranking items that require arena PvP; if you have a buddy that wants to see you geared up for raids, this is a great opportunity. The arms warrior provides an incredible boost to the entire raid's dps, so your buddies ought to want you in the game.
Remember your stat priorities as you go. Hit (8%)> Expertise (soft cap 26)> STRENGTH>Crit and Mastery>Haste. Reforge haste whenever you can as it's almost useless for an arms warrior. All dungeon items listed are from the heroic versions.

Thanks for putting the time into the list, a few comments.
I think you're over-valueing strength, which is most glaring on PvP pieces with not much rating but higher iLvl and hence strength. An example is the PvP helm versus 346 helm - ignoring socket bonuses you rate 60 strength > 160 crit rating.
You got the weapons spot on though since iLvl is both more strength and more weapon dmg (which is the king consideration), although I think Blade of the Fearless wins out for the 346 pieces unless you can't cap hit/expertise otherwise.
Which brings me to the 346 logjams, most of the pieces have identical strength and socket bonuses that account for differences in socket color, ie: http://www.wowhead.com/compare?items=63450;58096;56425 (I omitted chest with haste cuz that's undeniably worse). So it really comes down to if you need hit and if you prefer mastery or crit (most people are currently valuing them about equal). The same could apply to the guantlets, ect or course. The only thing is a 346 piece with haste of it is worse than one without, unless is overcaps you on hit/exp (which I'm just mentioning to be anal).
Last trinkets are incorrect. After DMC: Hurricane and Mark of Khadros; Death's Choice, Deathbringer's Will, Sharpened Twilight Scale don't belong on this list.
Instead those 3 should be replaced with:
Impatience of Youth
Magnetite Mirror (if you need expertise)
Might of the Ocean (if you need hit)
Figurine - King of Boars (maybe swap with the Eye, not sure)
Right Eye of Rajh
Heart of Solace
Sorry for all the criticism, i really do appreciate you putting the time into compiling that list. I don't have a BiS list that I'm keeping to myself just to sound smug, rather that my comments come from reviewing your post. So you've really done a lot of legwork getting us all started in putting together a BiS list. And hopefully someone will correct all the horrible mistakes I've made and we'll keep iterating until we get a list figured out.
Thank you for your suggestions Muffin Man. The list is heavily weighted toward strength for a couple of reasons. 1) when it comes to raw power to do damage, it's really important. 2) Capping for hit and expertise is pretty easy. My arms set is still nowhere close to BiS for most pieces and I'm already hit capped and at 22 expertise. Also, if you are specced properly, arms has a soft crit cap at 40%. This means talents alone give you a substantial amount of crit before you even equip a piece of armor. And of course, mastery is good, but it's so much better when every extra swing has a boatload of power behind it.
I do like your trinket list; those are all excellent choices to pick up. I know it's a little odd to have wotlk trinkets on such a list, but they are still really good stats. If you have them collecting dust in the bank just because of the iLevel, they ought to come out. Similarly, if you are going on an older content achievement run, get them if you can.
I mean, surely parry won't save your ass from the impending spell of doom, but maybe if the stars align you actually parry it and gain another second for the group to kill that boss, right? RIGHT!? :0
Anyway, its right that a crit/mastery glove should be better than parry. But strenght is our best stat. So all in all, he have a point. Not the best point, but I think is valid.
wrecking crew.
also, 40% is still wrong for the crit cap on overpower if you are attacking a raid boss.

Just to clarify, I'm a she.
Maybe he means that, even if haste is better for damage, that gain is so negligible that that parry could be more useful overall.
And yes, what this really means is haste is that pathetic for an arms warrior. Parry is also a lame stat for us, just not quite as lame.
This has changed slightly since the patch. The changes to mortal strike have improved (slightly) the value of haste for the arms warrior, but it's still right up there with resilience, dodge, parry, and spirit as far as what you want in gear. If you don't believe me, stack haste and hit the target dummy.
let me introduce you to my friend wrecking crew.
also, 40% is still wrong for the crit cap on overpower if you are attacking a raid boss.
Mortal strike was nicely improved in the patch. The crit cap for OP will be slightly higher than 40% on a raid boss because of their higher level, that is true. But the actual number is close to 40%. Strength is still a more important stat. I would be surprised if, with only pre-raid gear, you could be hit-capped, expertise-capped, and OP crit capped.
EDIT: WAAAAAAITamoment. I just realized I have the hc Fingers of ligth in my tank set. All the internet is saying that hc Fol gives 215 strength. But in the tooltip only says 151, and that is what it really gives me.
Internet failz at data?

"Lambs to the Slaughter: Instead of granting 10/20/30% damage to the next Mortal Strike, Overpower, or Execute, it now grants a 10% buff to any Mortal Strike, Overpower, Slam, or Execute that stacks 1/2/3 times.
Mortal Strike cost has been reduced by 5 rage." from 4.0.6 patch notes
This change to mortal strike was definitely needed and should have changed your rotation. You want 3 stacks of LttS as often as possible.(I'm guessing that's in another thread, but i haven't looked.)
Sorry Mazar, I should have been more specific. Fingers of Light Heroic has 215 strength. There is a regular version of Fingers of Light that is less sexy.
No, I have double checked it and it's my fault. Don't know why, but for some reason I don't understand I thought the Greymane wall gloves I had were the Fingers of Light.
Move along citizens, nothing to see here (nothing but me deciding about sleeping or cutting my wrists with a spoon).
I hope you chose sleep; death by spoon is slow and painful.
It's better when you do it yourself. You grow tired quickly and don't have to endure several years of a creepy unnatural stalker.
Ontopic, if people doesn't mind using an agility weapon until they got a strenght one, I would recomend the Slashing Thorns from HoO. Gives Hit and Crit, and the crit could be reforged to mastery if you double spec as a tank.

Editor's Note: Dr. Katy Nelson, also known as WTOP's Dr. Pawz, is a veterinarian in the D.C. area. She will answer your pet questions in her blog on Wednesdays or during WTOP live chats.
Katy Nelson, special to wtop.com
As we welcome in a new year, most of us begin to reflect on what we could have done better in the past year. Many of us make resolutions that we will eat healthier, exercise, call our moms more frequently, or even check a few things off our bucket lists. But have you ever included your pets in your New Year's resolutions? I've got a few ideas on how you can improve the lives of your pets just by including them in your list of resolutions.
1) Take pets to the veterinarian.
While the old wives' tale of "dog years" may not be entirely accurate, pets do age more quickly than humans. This is why it is incredibly important to have them examined by their veterinarian at a wellness appointment at least once a year for pets younger than 7 to 8 years old and twice a year for older pets. Things change so quickly in animals' bodies that if you wait until your pet is displaying signs of an illness, it may be too late to do anything about it.
By going for wellness appointments, you can hopefully catch changes in your pet's health early on and prevent conditions from worsening or even reverse them completely. Your veterinarian will do a full physical examination (including oral and ocular evaluations, listen to the heart and lungs and assess weight, joints, changes in skin or coat, and much more) and make recommendations for improved or continued health based on his or her findings. Slight changes in weight, inflammation in the oral cavity or small lumps or bumps can all indicate more serious disease conditions and early intervention could be lifesaving.
At this time, your veterinarian may recommend a dental cleaning, lab work, vaccinations, nutritional supplements, weight loss or even medications to improve your pet's health. Following the advice of your veterinarian can help keep your pet happy and healthy for years to come.
2) Examine their diet.
If your pet has been eating the same food for some time, it may be worthwhile to examine whether their food is the optimal diet for your pet. If your pet has chronic ear, eye or skin issues, or is overweight, aging or has bad breath, a change in diet may improve your pet's health.
There are so many choices on the shelves these days that it may be overwhelming to make the decision when you walk into the pet store, so do your research before you walk through those doors.
Ask your veterinarian's opinion on what type of food would be best, read labels and ingredients, research companies online and make an educated decision on the appropriate nutrition based on knowledge, rather than advertising. Just because the bag says "organic," or the company has a great commercial, that doesn't mean that particular food will be the best one for your pet.
Note, abrupt switches in diet can lead to serious issues. Anytime you switch your pet's food, do it slowly (over a period of 10 to 14 days) to prevent gastrointestinal upset.
Every person has specific dietary needs, and so does each pet. Treat your pets as individuals, and put them on a diet that will not just help them survive, but help them thrive.
3) Help pets lose excess weight.
Obesity in Americans has hit an all-time high, and our pets are following suit. It is estimated that more than 60 percent of household pets in the United States are overweight or obese. This number is staggering. Just as in people, obesity predisposes our pets to numerous disease conditions such as cardiac disease, diabetes, joint problems, and even cancer, to name a few.
Also similar to people, it is often a challenge to get the weight off our pets. However, it is not impossible and is well worth the effort. Consult with your veterinarian to get an idea of your pet's ideal weight, and address any medical conditions that may have led to weight gain or that have risen as a result of the weight gain.
Together you can create a healthy weight loss plan that includes a diet with appropriate fat, calorie, carb and protein content and an exercise program that will help maintain lean muscle mass and improve activity level.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mirage41b Love this product Shirt never wrinkles. Always looks fresh. Very light. Great value. Highly recommend this product. Will be a repeat customer for sure. November 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by s0521 A great Polo. The Essential Polo is by far and away the best casual shirt that I have ever purchased. So much so that I now have four of them and plan to add more colors. I wear them most all the time when I'm not wearing a tee shirt. I especially like the way they fit and feel when I'm golfing. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by twjoe My essential go-to Polo shirts! I took a chance on one of these polo shirts, having purchased a pure cotton one from Cubavera and liking the fit and quality. Long story short, I now have many of these in various colors proudly hanging in my wardrobe as part of my business casual shirt rotation. I really like the quality of the materials (thick, long-wearing synthetic that resists snags and abrasions- be aware these do not breathe or wick as efficiently as thinner shirts though in humid weather), hang them up out of the dryer and they look really sharp; no wrinkles at all. I haven't had the chance to travel with them yet, but have no doubt they will be coming with me next trip! Also love the wooden buttons.. they add a bit of distinctive style. I'm a large, and found them true to size Do yourself a favor and try a few.. September 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DRay Excellent I now have purchased approximately 40 shirts for my son and myself and I can honestly say they are just what I have been looking for. I am looking forward to having a long and lasting relationship with Cubavera. Finally, I have found a shirt that is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Thanks Cubavera September 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by stevetennessee great shirt comfort ,nice look, and wears great without ironing August 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bahiadave Sharp Look Having always enjoyed products from Cubavera, this my first attempt at some golf polo's. The material feels fantastic, the colors are quite unique(in a good way), and I received quite a few compliments on the style. Overall, I am very satisfied with my shirts. I bought 4. DR July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by engineer1 Professional yet casual look I first purchased this shirt at a retailer. It was a clean, well fitting, easy care shirt that looked professional enough to wear at the office. I looked Cubavera up on-line and found a much larger selection. I have been very happy with my purchases to date. May 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LoboNegro Looking Good I ordered this shirt and was very impressed at the quality and look. I will be looking for more item such as this and would recommend these to others April 29, 2014

If i have a brown eye gene which encodes the protein that is responsible for the brown color, and have a blue eye gene either, what is the reason that my eye color is brown? How does one gene maintains dominance to another one?
One version or allele of the gene for eye color may encode instructions to make the brown pigment, while the blue allele makes no pigment. Alternatively, it is possible, logically speaking, that the blue allele blocks the productions of brown pigment, but this is not the case.
Now, brown vs blue is not a case of one gene and two alleles. After producing pigment, it must be transported, deposited and such. Many processes are involved. So, the pigment deposition process may be functional or not, but as above, it is often found that a non-functional version is simply non-functioning and not actively inhibiting the process. There are numerous cases where an aberrant form of a protein, encoded by a variant allele, acts as an active inhibitor of a given biological or biochemical process.
The key to your question as written is blue eye color is a lack of pigmentation.
At the DNA level there are several mechanisms that might be cited.
A mutation (change in the DNA sequence) of a gene may actually render one copy of the gene defective. In the case of albino-ism, the skin is pink - no melanin pigment is made at all. This is a case of both copies of a vital gene being defective and an ability lost completely.
Some cases of genetically inherited diabetes (<1%) dwarfism and obesity are examples of this. There are many others - most genetic diseases are like this.
This can be caused by a single mutation in each defective gene, and others an entire segment of the chromosome can be lost or disrupted by a new, often nonsensical sequence dropped into the gene region.
Other changes can affect the way the genes turn on and off. - similar sequence changes in the regulatory sequences next to the gene sequence will make the gene behave differently. Even babies of african descent may be born with blonde hair and blue eyes and get the darker pigmentation later. this is genetically caused by a change in they timing of the genes for hair and eye color turning on at other times (blonde hair and blue eyes have little or no pigment, so if the genes are off, then this is what you get). So when genes are active can cause dominant (always on) versus recessive (sometimes off) patterns. which are because one copy of the gene behaves differently than the other copy.
Sometimes a single mutation in one copy of the gene can cause rather interesting effects. A single good gene and a mutated, less effective gene might result in lost of activity because the mixture of the two genes is different between a wholly functional or wholly variant set of genes.
A classic example is the sickle cell trait of hemoglobin. two copies of sickle cell hemoglobin causes the red blood cells to be stiff and misshapen which in turn causes a painful condition in the carrier. a person with a single copy of the sickle cell gene does not have this problem - is nearly asymptomatic. So we say sickle cell anemia is recessive for the HbS mutation. but in reality there is plenty of the HbS version of hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood cells, just that the mixture of the two does not cause the anemia.
There are lots of other specific cases on how dominant and recessive effects happen, but this might give you a picture.
Sorry to blockquote, but this note from wikipedia gets to the heart of the question:
Recommended reading for an overview:
You can also look to "dominant negative" phenotypes to get a good idea of what "dominance" entails (this was the concept that really locked it in for me in college). One example is Marfan syndrome, where the mutant allele of FBN1 (fibrillin-1) produces a version of the protein that is antagonistic to the protein produced by the "healthy" allele.
Dominant negative and semi-dominant alleles can be seen when the protein forms dimers to function. Activin type receptors form dimers to transduce a signal from an extracellular ligand into the cell. A truncated receptor protein that has the dimerization domain but lacks the intracellular domain necessary for signal transduction will act in a dominant negative fashion over the wildtype allele: Dimers are formed but the signal is not transduced. This has been implicated in hereditary colorectal cancers.

Four years later, 'down-to-earth' president still this barber's top customer
BY LISA DONOVAN Staff firstname.lastname@example.com September 6, 2012 10:06PM

Updated: October 9, 2012 2:58PM
The sound of slicing scissors and buzz of the electric clippers fell mostly silent at the South Side barber shop Thursday night when perhaps its most famous customer, President Barack Obama, made his primetime television appearance to accept the Democratic party's nomination.
When Obama addressed his daughters, Sasha and Malia in a not-so-joking manner "yes, you have to go to school tomorrow" a few of the barbers in the Hyde Park Hair Salon laughed and said "OK!?"
There was a bit of deja vu in it all.
In August 2008, the Sun-Times was on hand at the Hyde Park Hair Salon when a hush fell over the shop as neighborhood guy and then-U.S. Sen Obama appeared on the two big screen televisions and accepted the party's nomination at the Democratic National Convention, bringing him another step closer to becoming the first African American U.S. president.
Back then a barber named Zariff — "just Zariff" — proudly looked on at his cherished client of more than a dozen years, a customer whose "Obama cut" would most certainly makeZariff, his co-workers and the salon itself a lot better off than it was four years ago.
On Thursday, Zariff said before Obama even took the stage that the president was ready in every possible way to accept the nomination and lead the country another four years.
"He looks good. I prepared him for tonight," Zariff said with a smile, referring to freshening up that signature closely-cropped "Obama cut" that has drawn visitors from Russia, Iceland and Africa to the shop seeking the same look.
"A lot of people in these political positions are affluent and out of reach for a lot of people, but Barack was a neighborhood guy so people come in here to make a connection with him."
These days Zariff travels to his client of 18 years, not the other way around.
"It looks better than on the History Channel," he said of the White House. "And he's still the same person, the same down-to-earth guy. We talk about life, about family."
And current events?
"And current events," including the president's goal in the next four years to continue working on a fix to the country's economic.
Obama has confided he misses coming to the shop near 53rd and Blackstone on Sunday mornings and chatting about sports. But security and geographic constraints make that impossible right now.
Indeed, other barbers at the shop say the president has been busy in Washington D.C. these last four years, and they don't begrudge him his infrequent visits back home. When Obama won the nomination in 2008, those inside the shop and beyond knew there were serious issues but didn't know exactly what was ahead:
The passage of a controversial affordable healthcare law. An order to kill Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. And grappling with a still struggling economy.
"He got rid of [Osama] bin Laden," said Wayne Davis, who shines shoes at the shop who has cleaned and buffed Obama's kicks a few times — before he was president. "And got a lot done — a lot if you look at how hard the Republicans were trying to veto his work."
Antonio Coye, a barber whose brother runs the salon, was at the shop in 2008 when Obama made his pitch to the country at the Democratic National Convention. Some 50 customers and supporters streamed in and out that night, but by the time Obama took the stage this Thursday night just a handful of customers and barbers watched the televised speech.
"There are a lot of people at convention parties tonight," Coye said.
Otherwise, they might have stopped in.
Though one barber pointed out that while most people who walk through the door at the Hyde Park salon give Obama the thumbs up, the approval rating among customers isn't quite 100 percent.
A.C. Chandler can recall one customer coming in looking for a presidential debate of sorts about a year ago.
"He was from Louisville, Kentucky, and it was clear he was a Republican. He was [saying] 'so this is the president's shop huh?' and 'The Obama cut, what's the big deal?" Chandler recalled. "He was trying to throw salt" and criticized the president's policies. "We set him straight. We told things aren't great in Kentucky. They've got problems. He kind of ceased his fire."
Ever see him again?
"We haven't seen him since."

text: 4 Beyond LegendSwanyPole | 20/09/2007 | See all SwanyPole's reviews (9)If you liked Tomb Raider Legend, but found it was over too quickly then this is the game for you. If you loved the original Tomb Raider and like me think that no other game in the series has measured up to it. Then this is the game for you. If you like action adventure games with some taxing puzzles, then this is the game for you. I have played the PS2 version and it rocks, with the 360's power this version should blow it out of the water. I found myself back in 1996, you walk into each environment and the memories come flooding back, they are not the same as before and yet some how feel very familiar. My only complaint with the game is that it has gone too far from the Legend game engine. By that I mean that Legend was too much if you jump and are facing in vaguely the right direction you will grab the rope or ledge. This did become a little annoying, this game has tried to correct that and has gone too far the other way. It is a truly great game, but be prepared to go over the same ground over and over again until you get it spot on.

After more than eight months of heated debate, the Watervliet City Council moves to rezone St. Patrick's Church. Innae Park has more.
WATERVLIET, N.Y. -- "I'm 73, but I'm looking for progress," said Watervliet resident John Kenney.
"We're not ready to say it's a done deal," said Christine Bulmer of Citizens for St. Patrick's.
A community still divided, even after a unanimous vote, to rezone the site of St. Patrick's Church. The once residential 19th Street plot is now a business district.
"We are trying to redevelop 19th Street to be our commercial anchor, our commercial strip and this is a big community project," said Watervliet Mayor Mike Manning.
This vote allows Nigro Companies to begin its plans to demolish the historic building and create a Price Chopper store. This has already been ongoing for more than eight months. How soon will that happen?
"We're not sure yet. The weather is sort of turning in us now. We have a lot of plans in the making," said John Nigro, President of Nigro Companies.
They aren't the only ones.
Bulmer said, "As far as I'm concerned, this is not the end of the road. It's just another step in a very long process."
The group Citizens for St. Patrick's says they will keep fighting to keep their piece of history.
"There are positive economic benefits with preservation and with positive reuse," said Bulmer.
"No one else has come to say, I will purchase this property and preserve it,'" said Father Edward Deimeke.
As for those in need of the sale, it's time to see St. Patrick's go.
Deimeke said, "The mission of the church is not to preserve buildings."
This new Price Chopper would replace the current one on Second Avenue.

I'm delighted to announce our recent acquisition by Naylor, LLC.!
As of Friday, April 25th, Boxwood Technology is officially part of the dynamic Naylor family of businesses. As a leading provider of print and digital media, event management and marketing services to associations, the synergies and opportunities of Boxwood and Naylor joining forces were just too great to ignore. The benefits for our collective association clients will be amazing. But more about the business aspects in a later post.
Right now, however, I just want to speak on a more personal level. Of course I find the acquisition truly exciting, and after 12 years, it's incredibly fulfilling to see the Boxwood brand and business expand, grow and move on to the next level.
Being a part of the association community for so long, working at Boxwood with our dedicated employees, our incredibly loyal customers—an industry full of people I'm happy to call friends — I consider myself incredibly fortunate when I look back at the past 12 years. To me, Boxwood is more than a just career. I'm proud of the business we've grown and proud to have its successes recognized and appreciated by an organization as impressive and multi-faceted as Naylor.
I truly believe everyone who makes up our vibrant Boxwood family — especially our incredible customers — are in for a very bright, very successful future together. I look forward to sharing continued updates with you.
Onward and upward!Cheers!Christine
Content for Recruiters
Too many employers these days are wearing rose tinted glasses. They think their employment brand is what they say about their values, benefits and work experience. It isn't. If you look at an organization through the critical lens of top talent, an organization's brand isn't words, it's deeds.
Now, don't get me wrong. Having a written employment brand statement is very important. It is, however, only half of your employment brand, at least for high caliber candidates.
You see, the best talent are good consumers. In other words, they expect a vendor or an employer to create a brand that magnifies what's best about their product or employment experience.
The vendor's or employer's definition of what's best, however, may not be the same as theirs. So, what do they do? They test drive or try out whatever they're being offered.
Now, that's relatively easy to do for a car or a flat screen TV, but it's much more difficult when you're trying to evaluate an employer. With the exception of intern programs, there's simply no way to get a realistic look at what it's like to work for an organization.
So, what does the best talent do? They create a surrogate. They use the employer's recruiting process to gauge its employment experience. In essence, the best talent believe that the way they are treated as candidates is a good approximation of how they will be treated as employees.
Optimizing the Candidate Experience
That simple truism is the principal reason for all of the recent concern about "optimizing the candidate experience." More than well written job postings, more than a cool career area on your corporate Web-site, more than a scintillating social media program, putting your organizational best foot forward during your recruiting process will spell the difference between winning and losing the War for the Best Talent.
So, how do you optimize the candidate's experience? Simple, you walk the talk.
You set expectations with your brand statement about what it will be like to work for your employer AND you illustrate that experience with the organizational structure and employee behaviors that characterize your recruiting process. You make sure that everything that's said and done to evaluate the candidate ALSO illustrates your employer's core values and culture. Or to put it another way, you take off your rose tinted glasses and make sure you look your best through the critical lens of top talent.

According to The Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine (HWOL), online advertised vacancies increased to 5,297,100 for the month of December – up 125,600.
"In 2013, labor demand in the first half of the year was flat but was more upbeat in the last six months with gains in a number of occupations. These gains have helped whittle the unemployment number as more and more workers found employment," said June Shelp, Vice President of The Conference Board.
Occupational Highlights for December
Recap by Region
The West experienced the largest increase in online labor demand.
Michigan had the largest increase in online labor demand for the Midwest with 9,100.
The largest gain in the Northeast occurred in the state of New Jersey with a 10,800 increase in online labor demand.
Lastly, the state of Florida showed the largest increase for the South with an increase of 6,000.

Content for Job Seekers
With all of the talk about the Affordable Care Act, preserving our physical health is on almost everybody's mind. While that's certainly appropriate, ensuring the health of your career is just as central to your well being. Indeed, the single best way to find a new or better job is to conduct your search with a strong and vital career.
In today's highly competitive job market, you can have the best written resume on the planet, you can be a black belt networker on LinkedIn, you can interview like a champion and still not get a job offer. To put it bluntly, knowing how to conduct a job search is not enough to get you a job.
Why? Because employers are now looking for a different kind of candidate. Although it's seldom expressed in their job postings, employers are no longer satisfied with people who can do a job. They want people who will excel at it. And, to excel on-the-job, you have to achieve and maintain occupational strength, reach and endurance.
I call that commitment to self-development the practice of "career fitness." It is now as integral to finding a new job as traditional job search tactics.
What's involved in building up your career fitness? First, you have to see yourself differently and then you have to become that new person. It sounds like a lot, and I'm not going to insult you by telling you it's not. Achieving and maintaining career fitness is a big undertaking, but it's also the only way you have a real shot at winning your dream job.
The New You
Today's global marketplace is roiling with new technology, new practices and procedures, new strategies and tactics, new competitors and market dynamics. To survive let alone prosper in this ever-morphing environment, employers need workers who are themselves constantly evolving. Jobs are changing at warp speed, and employers want workers who can keep up.
In the past, employers sought candidates who were as complete as possible. They had a full set of skills and knowledge to do a job. Now, employers want candidates who see themselves as a "work in progress." These individuals accept responsibility for keeping their skill set and knowledge aligned with the new jobs being created, so they are always able to excel.
To become a work-in-progress, you must add two new facets to your job search:
That's the Affordable Career Act – a proactive program for managing the health of your own career. If the Affordable Care Act is known as "Obamacare," this activity is best described as "Youcare."
New Year, New Reminder
An association possesses something that other job boards don't: a targeted pool of qualified industry professionals. As a result, your association can offer a much stronger value proposition than a commercial job board. Chances are that many of your marketing efforts towards the end of last year revolved around aggressive marketing campaigns in order to play up key features, year-end discounts and impressive statistics for those last chance 2013 recruitment needs. Now that 2014 is here, it's time to get back to the basics and remind employers why association job boards are ideal for locating the best industry talent.
For January, we challenge your association to take a step back and focus on selling (or re-selling) current and prospective employers on why posting to a niche job board is a more effective way to target and recruit qualified professionals in your industry. To kick off the New Year, allow yourself to take a simpler approach to career center marketing and highlight a few of the reasons why posting to an association job board is better.
Relevancy Unlike commercial job boards where hundreds of unqualified candidates may apply, a niche job board directly connects qualified industry talent to employers, so those who do apply will be much more likely to match their requirements. The goal of commercial job boards is to achieve a larger volume of resumes to attract more job postings, while niche boards work towards attracting candidates that are the most relevant to the positions that are posted.
Branding Opportunities Both job listings and posting enhancements such as Featured Job Packages and banner advertisements tend to get lost on commercial job boards. Not only are your corporate members competing with other industry employers, but they are also thrown into the mix with listings and advertising enhancements from irrelevant fields, making it more difficult to build a brand among the people they are trying to reach. Elite Talent Employers need to recognize that members of a professional association represent elite talent. When posting to a niche job board, hiring managers can be assured that they are selecting from the largest pool of candidates with certifications, extensive training and knowledge available. It's a fact ‒ workers engaged with their industry's associations tend to be more involved and interested in their careers ‒ your job board attracts those types of professionals!
Reinvest in the Community Job postings on niche sites allow corporate members to reinvest in the community since revenue generated from the career center stays with your association. This leads to funding scholarships and education programs and initiatives that will provide a wider range of relevant, high-quality talent nationwide.
Job Posting Add-Ons that Enhance Your Value Employer Offerings
An online job posting is just one of many ways for your association to generate additional non-dues revenue. As your partner, Boxwood has a full suite of job posting enhancements that were designed for the unique needs of employers. Expanding your career center beyond the standard job posting capabilities offers employers more variety and provides an additional return on investment for their recruiting dollars.
Consider adding one of the following advertising enhancements to your career center:
Featured Job It's a fact ‒ jobs featured in search results receive twice as many detailed page views and apply clicks. A Featured Job is highlighted in a yellow box and listed as "Featured" on the job seeker search results page for additional exposure.
Brand2Recruit Brand2Recruit allows the employer to obtain even more resumes, attract passive job seekers, and build a strong brand among the types of candidates they are trying to reach. This package distinguishes a particular employer among others by providing information about the organization that attracts top quality job seekers. Brand2Recruit includes the following:
A banner advertisement that randomly rotates in job seeker search results and links to a company profile page
A company profile page that allows the employer to include more information about the company, benefits, awards, etc.
A link to all jobs that are currently posted by the employer on the company profile page
Company logo placed within the profile page

Now more than ever, employers have an even greater need to shorten the recruitment cycle and find talent even faster. Advertising enhancements ensure that your employers gain recognition by increasing the visibility of their jobs. Not only do these offerings benefit the employer, but it also allows your association to add an additional stream of revenue and enhance the value of
In this season of football, basketball and hockey, there is a lot of talk about game changers – the individuals who, more often than not, spell the difference between victory and defeat. They are every team's dream player and, in every other facet of the economy, they are every employer's dream new hire. The goal of recruiting, therefore, should be to recruit more game changers than the competition.
While recruiters have always focused on the best talent, it would be a mistake to describe game changers as "A" level performers. They are much more. They not only excel at their own work; they raise the level of work done by everyone else around them. They change the game because they turn the team – or the business – into an "A" level performer.
So, where do you find these game changers and how do you recruit them? In my book, The Career Activist Republic, I introduce a number of concepts for identifying and engaging these extraordinary individuals – men and women who are best described not by their impact, but by their defining characteristics.
Concept #1: Focus your time and effort where it is likely to have the greatest payoff.
It is, of course, both politically correct and accurate to acknowledge the presence of game changers among active job seekers. However, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, at any point in time, just 16 percent of the American workforce is actively in transition. In other words, four-fifths of the workforce is composed of what is conventionally known as "passive job seekers." And, the probability is simply much higher that you will find the game changers you need in that larger group.
Concept #2: Recognize (and accept) that passive job seekers aren't job seekers at all.
The 84 percent of the workforce who are not actively engaged in a job search are "prospects." They aren't seeking a job or a change in employer. They don't visit corporate career sites or job boards unless they are drawn to those locations by something they value. What do these passive prospects value? Anything that will make them better. They may not be job seekers, but they are always looking for ways to advance in their field. That's why I call them "career activists." They can be activated to consider employment opportunities by content they find useful.
Concept #3: Use a pull-pull approach when developing content for career activists.
First, transform your career site into a center of excellence for career advancement by featuring one or both of two kinds of content:
Content that will help these game changers manage their career effectively – set appropriate goals, deal with problem bosses – not conduct a job search – write a resume, take an interview.
Content that will enhance their knowledge, skills, credentials or market awareness so they are able to compete successfully for ever more challenging and rewarding employment opportunities.
Then promote that content to pull the right passive prospects to your site.
Second, transform your job postings into electronic sales brochures targeted directly at game changers. These individuals don't care about the "requirements and responsibilities" of a job; they want to know the answers to five questions:
What will they get to do?
What will they get to learn?
What will they get to accomplish?
With whom with they get to work?
How will they be recognized and rewarded?
This content is the best way to pull passive prospects into an active state or what is commonly called an applicant.
Game changers are the key to victory in today's highly competitive global economy, but game changers can't be recruited with traditional strategies and tactics. What's required, instead, is a focus on that segment of the workforce where there is the highest probability of success, an understanding of this population's unique interests, and techniques that leverage those interests to pull them into the enterprise.

Wish lists are big this time of year, not only among kids and parents, but among employers, as well. Organizations are looking ahead to 2014 and hoping they'll find just the right kind of talent to meet or exceed their business goals. Knowing what's on those wish lists, therefore, is a critical component of any successful job search.
Not all employer wish lists are the same, of course, but as with kids, there are certain "must haves" that appear on almost every organization's list. What are this year's favorites? Well, there are a number of old standbys and a couple of new additions that are sure to put a big smile on just about any recruiter's face. And, here's the top five on this year's Happy Job Search List.
1. State-of-the-art knowledge and skills.
Employers are no longer competing against cheaper labor, but against smarter labor throughout the global marketplace. How can you wrap yourself up as a smarter job seeker? Enroll in an academic program or certification-granting training course in your field and add that ongoing education to your resume. Prove to employers that you see yourself as a "work-in-progress," not someone whose expiration date has passed.
2. The ability to contribute to the organization's success.
Employers no longer need people who can do the work; they need those who will excel at it. How can you put a bow on your ability to make such a contribution? Help others be successful in their jobs. Find one or two blogs, discussion forums or other online venues where you can share your expertise with others in your field and then contribute regularly. Those you assist just might turn out to be people who are looking for great coworkers to refer to their employer.
3. A flexible approach to work and employment.
Change is the new norm in business, so employers' workplace needs are constantly in flux. How can you avoid being seen as someone who's stuck in a rigid box? Do your homework on the strategies being used in your field to reduce costs and improve productivity (e.g., telecommuting, virtual organizations) and make the effort to get yourself (and your family) comfortable with them. Then, signal that flexibility on your resume.
4. The capacity to work in a wide range of situations and circumstances.
In these days of lean staffing, employers need multidisciplinary workers who can perform competently in different assignments. How can you celebrate your good will toward organizations that make such adjustments? Acquire ancillary skills (e.g., the ability to speak a second language, knowledge of new software programs) that enable you to pinch-hit for another employee or excel at more than one job and promote that capability to employers.
5. The dedication and competence to bring originality and creativity to your work.
Employers know that what wins in today's competitive economy is innovation in product or service design, development, sales and marketing, delivery, execution and support. How can you prove you're not regifting the same, old capabilities that have always been used in your field, but instead bring an original spark to the job? Create a "smart resume" which highlights both your quantitative accomplishments and your imagination – the ingenuity you use to achieve them.
Employers know that they're unlikely to get everything on their wish list when recruiting for their openings. However, the more of those gifts you offer in your job search, the more likely it is an employer will grant you your wish and offer you a great job.

October Conference Board Report
Help Wanted OnLine
According to The Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine (HWOL) Data Series, online labor demand decreased by 257,000 for the month of October.
"Slow overall economic growth has left labor demand flat in the first 10 months of 2013. Even though the labor demand level still hovers around 5 million/month, the October loss leaves the 2013 year-to-date basically flat. This continues the trend we've seen this year with gains in one month being offset by declines the next month," said June Shelp, Vice President of The Conference Board.
Even though many professions have seen a decrease in demand, there are always several occupational groups that experience modest gains. For the month of October, Sales occupations fly solo, serving as only 1 of 22 industries that experienced an increase. This includes Retail Salespeople and First-Line Supervisors and Managers of Retail Sales Workers.

The Tuff Industries in line mag pouch is one of those "why the hell didn't I think of that?" products that pops up from time to time. It situates the magazines in an in-line fashion, allowing for more magazines in a smaller space.
It can be used for storage or for range/field work. It comes in a 5 or 8 pouch set with individual pockets for each magazine as well as a removable flap. It can be attached securely to either your belt or your M.O.L.L.E. vest.
It even has a strap, so you can sling it over your shoulder if needed. It's a highly flexible method for carrying extra magazines.
It's been invaluable in courses that required high round counts. In the past I would have ended up with mags stuffed into my pockets. The Tuff product fixed that pronto.
When not in use, I simply put the flap on, and use it for storage. One scenario for which the Tuff product may not be suitable is CCW, unless you are wearing a large baggy jacket to cover it up. And larger objects have been hidden, no doubt!
Many LEOs keep a "go bag" in their car, and the Tuff in line mag pouch is a perfect addition to that.
An added 5-8 loaded mags that can be attached to the officer's belt or M.O.L.L.E vest in a matter of seconds.
Made from double layered 1000 denier cordura and mil-spec webbing, they hold up well under hard use conditions. I'm about to order a fourth one myself!

La Prairie At-A-Glance
Strengths: Most of the makeup categories present at least one good, though needlessly expensive, option.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; overreliance on jar packaging; many products contain a potentially irritating amount of astringent horsetail extract; no effective skin-lightening options; poor options for anyone dealing with blemishes (though La Prairie is concerned primarily with selling wrinkle creams anyway).
La Prairie has been at the forefront in the introduction of expensive anti-aging products for more than three decades. Many of the products in this originally Swiss skin-care line are called "cellular treatment." After a while, it all starts sounding silly. The attempt to align these products with the concept of being able to affect skin at the cellular level is over the top, although when it comes to making the ordinary sound extraordinary, La Prairie excels.
Assuming your skin could improve with these products, the prices alone might cause premature aging! So what do the women who can safely afford these products get for their money? The prestige of knowing they can afford them, period. High-priced skin-care lines attract women who think that the dollars they spend will buy them something special that most other women can't afford. To some extent, they're right: most women can't afford these products. Yet anyone who reads and understands the ingredient lists would find that price doesn't reliably translate into having better skin. What you're really getting from this line is a barrage of look-younger-now claims not backed up by one shred of substantiated scientific evidence, and a group of unimpressive formulations.
A particularly egregious error appears in the number of La Prairie moisturizers (and my goodness, does this company love moisturizers!) that arrive in jar packaging. La Prairie is in-the-know about the importance of antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients for skin, yet almost all of their products that contain such ingredients ignore their vulnerability to oxidation. Containers like these ensure that these products will deteriorate shortly after you begin using them. Considering the premium prices, that is an almost unforgivable offense. At least the company gets their facial sunscreen right by including sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. However, it's interesting to find that a visit to the La Prairie counter involves a lot more discussion about their moisturizers, ampoules, and other "treatment" products, while all the time you know that the only reliable antiwrinkle product everyone needs to use is sunscreen.
For more information about La Prairie, owned by Beiersdorf, call (800) 821-5718 or visit www.laprairie.com.
La Prairie Makeup
The brief makeup section in La Prairie's catalog poses the question "Consider the number of hours a day you wear makeup. Shouldn't the foundation you wear be an extension of your treatment program?" Well, calling most of La Prairie's skin-care products a "treatment" is a bit of a joke as what they seem to mean by "treatment benefit" has to do with the company's Cellular Complex, but that isn't complex in the least. This complex is primarily glycoproteins. Although it's true that glycoproteins are an integral part of the skin's intercellular matrix, they are far from the only element skin needs to look and feel its best. Functioning primarily as water-binding agents, glycoproteins won't firm, lift, or rejuvenate skin cells in the manner La Prairie would like you to believe. Further, of the makeup products below, only the ultra-pricey foundations contain a significant amount of this complex, and they have drawbacks of their own.Overall, La Prairie's makeup leaves much to be desired, especially given the high to ludicrous prices for what amount to ordinary cosmetics. A few of the products have supple, silky textures, but the expense is hard to justify when similar items are available for substantially less from so many other lines. Many of the products below earned happy face ratings, but keep in mind that you do not have to acquiesce to La Prairie's prices to beautify your face.
