Students learn job prospects in health care
Look, there are people in their 50s and 60s who still don't know what they want to be when they grow up — and they can wait out their days pondering various careers.
But for high school students, the clock is ticking. Big decisions loom on the not-too-distant horizon. College. Majors. Internships.
To help these students make intelligent, well-thought-out decisions, counselors encourage them to take advantage of career day events such as the one offered Monday at South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest. Some 75 students from 12 local high schools, including Andrew, Homewood-Flossmoor, Rich Central, Thornwood, Oak Forest and Lincoln-Way East, participated in the hospital's first ever career day.
"I liked talking with the doctors, they had a lot of good insight," said Payton Novak, a senior at Andrew. She has her sights set on becoming a surgical physician's assistant one day. "Now I know what to study."
The event, the first ever at South Suburban, was put together by Angela Bray Hedworth, manager of the Center for Learning.
"We really wanted to introduce to the community the different types of careers that are available for future recruiting purposes," Hedworth said. "There's more to a hospital than doctors and nurses."
The mission had two objectives: Introduce kids' interests to career fields and fill important projected voids.
Right now, she said, there are areas of great need, including operating room and critical care positions. "And no one knows for sure how we will be affected by the retiring Baby Boomers and the Affordable Care Act," she said.
The students traveled in groups from department to department, following the care of Ashley, a fictional teen whose penchant for texting while driving landed her in the emergency department.
In the ambulance bay, Sean McGuire explained how the ambulance is equipped and what it takes to become an emergency medical technician as well as a paramedic.
In the emergency department, Manager Sue Heslop walked the students through the critical care process.
"Activity in the ER never stops," she said. "We are constantly doing something."
Critical care, she said, is where the sickest patients come first.
"Everything has wheels," Heslop said, "Because we move everything."
The stop at the X-ray department was particularly interesting to Victoria Rice, a sophomore at Oak Forest High School. "I wanted to check out the ultrasound technology."
Ed Niemiec, director of imaging, showed the students the different kinds of X-rays, from traditional chest X-rays to nuclear images to color Doppler ultrasound.
Before entering the operating room, the students donned paper jumpsuits, booties and hair nets. Eric Tamulonis, a senior at Andrew, took one for the team when he volunteered to be the patient and was told to lay down on the surgical table.
"My mom's a peds oncology nurse," he said. "I've always been interested in the medical field, but you never get to see what they do. This is interesting to experience it."
Arianna Young is a junior at Thornwood. She plans to study nursing in college.
"I'm interested in surgery," she said. "These kinds of fairs are important because you learn what to expect. They help you make a plan."
After the tour, the students gathered in a meeting room to chat with professionals in the physical therapy, child care and surgery fields.
Erin Davis, a graduate student in physical therapy from Governors State University, talked with students about the heightened requirements in that field.
"Now you need a doctorate to become a physical therapist," she said.
Davis, who lives in Steger, began her studies as a biology major. She thought she'd eventually become a zookeeper. But after tending to her sick grandfather, she realized she had a knack for working with the elderly. She plans to pursue that aspect of physical therapy after she graduates next spring.
Realizing your gifts and matching them to potential careers is half the battle. Justin Johnson already has a jump on it.
The sophomore from Homewood-Flossmoor wants to be a social worker, among the essential hospital employees that may not seem obvious to those pondering career fields.
"I like people," Justin said. "I like to talk to them and help them."

Recent tour reports include impressive numbers of mixed gaggles of geese and several smaller flocks of American Avocets and Black-necked Stilts. In contrast to large congregations of circling waterfowl and shorebirds on the wing, Great Blue Herons stand solitary and still.
The Great Blue Heron is the largest heron in North America. It has a blue-gray body, rusty neck and thighs, and a black and white striped crown.
Unmistakable in flight with slow, majestic wing beats, its long neck is tucked into an "S" shape and long legs trail behind a short tail. Great Blue Herons hunt alone in ponds, rivers and agricultural fields. Prey, including aquatic animals, small mammals and insects, is caught with a lightning quick thrust of its large yellow and gray bill and swallowed whole.
All those wishing to join the tour should meet a few minutes before 3 p.m. at the gate in front of the city's wastewater treatment plant, east of the Yolo County landfill on Road 28H.
Participants should take their own binoculars, water (no potable water on site), and field guide. Docents will have spotting scopes to enhance wildlife viewing. Most of the tour is by car on firm gravel roads, with a couple of optional short walks in the wetlands. A portable toilet is available on the route. Tours run rain or shine.
To reach the waste water treatment station from Woodland take the first right at County Road 32A and proceed to CR-105 and take a left. Travel to Road 28H and turn right. The group meets at the gate east of the intersection.
This is a free tour. No reservations are required.

Dyslexia, 12(3), 195-221.
Indicators of Review Quality:
Description: This is a meta-analysis of studies investigating the nonword performance of individuals with specific reading disorder (SRD) compared to reading-level matched peers.
Question(s) Addressed:
Question not specifically stated.
Population: Individuals with SRD
Intervention/Assessment: Various reading, IQ, and nonword tests including Woodcock Reading Mastery Test-Revised (WRMT), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT), and Experimental nonword reading list (exp).
Number of Studies Included: 34
Years Included: 1990 - 1999
Assessment Areas
The results of this meta-analysis found strong support for nonword reading deficits in children with SRD.
"Most SRD groups show a significant deficit in phonological recoding when measured with nonword reading tests. The magnitude of this deficit is, on average, moderate" (p. 218).
"SRD groups performed 0.65 standard deviation units below their reading-level matched peers in nonword reading on average" (p. 215).
"Based on the findings…it was concluded that SRD groups demonstrate difficulties in [reading test, age, and intelligence level] aspects of reading that require phonological recoding" (p. 218).

I feel like there was a time, not too long ago, when Ricky Gervais was generally regarded as a great comedic talent who helped to usher in a New Era of better and smarter and more uncomfortable comedy, and everybody liked him and he was very good and nobody really questioned it that much. But then I guess he read God Is Not Great, and now everything he says is unbearable? What happened? Give me back my Ricky Gervais! "And give me back my Atheist Comedian title!" – David Cross. What's even more unfortunate is that it looks like his new unbearable persona has leaked, from things that would be unbearable by themselves into things that would otherwise be fun and exciting. From Ricky Gervais' blog:
I've had one of my big ideas. A live 3 hour podcast during The Golden Globes. Me and a few chums (like Louis CK, Chris Rock, Karl Pilkington, John Stewart, Larry David popping in and out) doing our own alternative commentary.
People at home can have the telly on with the sound down listening to us online say things that no broadcaster could get away with.
No one could do a fucking thing.
The biggest live webcast ever? Who knows? Who cares? What's fun is the shit we might come out with. No money. No sponsor. No guide lines. Fuck me I can't wait.
OH MY GOODNESS. First of all, does Ricky Gervais believe he's the first comedian to have ever decided to do a "tell it like it is" Golden Globes live-blog? Every single person, let alone COMEDIAN, all over the world live-blogs basically every single TV "event," and it's never for money and it's never censored and there are never any guide lines and no one ever can do a fucking thing about it, unfortunately.
Second, THE BIGGEST LIVE WEBCAST EVER? Followed by, "Who knows? Who cares?" As if the fact that he isn't really thinking about whether or not it will be THE BIGGEST LIVE WEBCAST EVER is something to be regarded as passionate and rebellious or, I don't know, a rejection of some sort of "mainstream media" way of perceiving how well your live-blog PODCAST does? While still suggesting that it COULD PERHAPS BE the biggest live webcast ever? And then saying that what's fun is "the shit we might come out with," like it says in all mass Facebook invites to college improv troupe performances? RICKY. GET IT TOGETHER. Of course that's what the fun of it is! This is not a new idea! This is a very well-worn idea, as a matter of fact! And no one is going to be mad at you after it is finished, I'm sorry to say! "We get it."
And finally, this idea sounds great. (Via Splitsider.)

It sounds great, but he is sounding equally as insufferable.
Is this a bid to turn Ricky into your Gwyneth? Because I just don't see what's so insufferable about any of it. He's kinda just announcing a thing he plans to do, and doing so in a tongue in cheek manner.
True story: Ricky Gervais almost hit a pedestrian while dragging his comedy crucifix down Broadway on 9/11.
"Growing up" Yikes. I am definitely at an age where I can't say that I'm still growing up. My kids would be very disappoint.
Oh god, I just have to say that I love that the adbot and her older adbot boyfriend loves reading internet discussions about religion. Never change, you wacky kids.
Don't do this, Kelly. Listen to your friend R2D2, Esq. He's a cool dude. He's trying to help you out.
R2D2, Esq., I like you, but you need to back off my girl Kelly.
She's talking about the way he's promoting what she calls "a great idea" not the podcast itself. The podcast would be awesome, Gervais could tone himself down a notch or two.
rejectedjeffdunhampuppet, I like you, but you need to back off my droid R2D2, esq.
It told me it prefers Hugh Jackman's "how to meet a UR-a-peein' man" and I'm inclined to agree.
I'm putting money on the fact that none of those guys will be there and that Ricky Gervais just makes puppets of them and does their voices
"The most insufferable group of shits on Earth".
WHICH he is a part of.
I LOVE this idea, too, but for the other comics, not Ricky. I find Gervais insufferable in general. That voice! that laugh! If he's not on 'The office', stay away.
As long as there aren't too many instances of the screechy Ricky laugh, I'm probably there.
Don't tell me something (won't be) is great. Let me decide for myself. – Karl Pilkington, re: The Great Pyramids (Ricky Gervais' idea)
So they finally just gave up and made the Golden Globes and the Oscars the same thing?
Ok, I'll listen to his thing. Anything to make him put his shirt back on.
Gnorm | Posted on Sep 8th, 2011 +37
Ricky Gervais, comedy genius, has just invented Mystery Science Theater 3000.
I'll be listening to the Oscars with the sound off anyway if Eddie Murphy is hosting. Or get out of the house and go bowling. Oh, this is the Golden Globes? Well, maybe I'll do some Wii bowling that night. I'm getting really good.
i don't think it's such a big deal that he's an outspoken atheist.

Harping on this is almost just as obnoxious. Where's Gabe?
Ricky does sound like a giddy child here but he's a comedian, most people who give their own 'comic' opinions during an event like this aren't exactly worth listening to. Sounds like you just don't like the guy.

The internet is so full of information about social media marketing. Useful some may be, but most information is a total waste of time reading through. But even with the indisputably large volumes of information on this field, there are aspects that I have found missing in this area. During my earlier days as an internet marketer, I was glad to read what beneficial information I could lay my hands on. But until now, I feel that what I am about to share with you today has been a missing link.
These are the three most basic strategies of social media marketing:
1. Declaring your identity
The people you expect to be your prospective customers are meeting you on the internet for the first time. They do not have the chance to directly speak with you. So the only way to win their trust is by letting them know exactly who you are. Thanks to most social media websites, you have a chance to upload your profile, detailing everything from your website, qualification and specialization. SMM will surely not work without this.
2. Associating with potential customers
The "potential customers" are not really potential customers unless you associate with them to the level that they are proud to be associated with you. I tend to think that this is the most challenging part of social media marketing but the only way to success. Think of it as the most important chance that the social media websites give you for building your brand.
3. Response
When strategies 1 and 2 have been well implemented, what will most likely follow are questions and criticisms from the prospective customers. When this happens, you can start smiling since it is an indication that interest is being generated.
Your success in the social media marketing endeavor will depend on how fast and effectively you respond to the questions and criticisms. Take this as a rule of thumb – never be on the defensive side even when negative criticisms come about. Your task is to build trust and confidence in your followers and they will handle the rest for you.

Based on the Dutch patriotic song Laat ons juichen by Christian Ernst Graf
- Not entirely sure why this is also found in the Anhang yet given a very definite (January 9 1766?) date. A similar ... quiddity?... seems to come up with "probably spurious" works of Bach - in that latter case "probably composed by someone else who lived sometime around 1750-1780" and at the same time dated to "around 1710", which makes somehow-- hrm-- lots of sense. Yes. - Schissel

Artist's Statement
I was born in Houston County, Ga in April 12, 1968. I believe that I inherited my love and talent for art from my mother to whom I am eternally grateful.
I began drawing and painitng at an early age often by doing my teachers and classmates before doing my homework. In high school I developed an appreciation for the works by Picasso, Michaelangelo and Dali. Their works inspired me to use my imagination and let the spirit flow from my mind through my soul into energy through my fingers on to canvas for my creations.

This is a veritable knock-off of Burt's Bees' popular Lip Shimmers (even some of the shade names are identical), and even though it's a fraction of the cost, this twist up lip product has all the problems of the Burt's Bees version – irritating plant oils that can cause irritation and chapped lips – and is best avoided.
Wet 'n' Wild is one of the few cosmetics companies around that prides itself on being extraordinarily cheap, although the prices have increased across the board since we last revisited this brand. But don't let its hokey name and pre-teen marketing tactics deter you, because there are some great options available, and the packaging has improved in almost every category. The best-performing products will seem like steals, while the less impressive to horrible products will quickly have you thinking, "you get what you pay for." It is not very often that a line offers such a procession of clear-cut winners and dismal losers, but once you know what to focus on, you won't get soaked by Wet 'n' Wild. This line is available in most major drugstores across the country, and, like most drugstore lines, does not offer testers. Interestingly, the selection of Wet 'n' Wild in Canadian drugstores tends to be better than what U.S. shoppers will find.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2012 ― First, a public service announcement: Americans are notorious for their short attention spans. Please do not forget the Hurricane Sandy victims, many of whom are still in dire straits. As if they didn't have it bad enough, the latest storm dropped cold temperatures and snow on parts of the northeast. Please take the time to contribute to the cause and help in any way you can.
While we're still holding that thought, isn't it bizarre that the apocalyptic film "The Day After Tomorrow" laid out a Hollywood version of what Sandy's victims just went through? Maybe, just maybe, it is time to focus on what kind of planet we will leave as a legacy to our children.

...and almost every time I walked past someone in the hallway this morning, they'd tell me how great the dance was. :D
Fred has written 5 entries about this goal
That was awesome. Everyone loved us, and we totally nailed it. After the show, the MC started to do an applause-meter-type thing, and I'm pretty sure the cheers for us were the loudest, but before they could decide on a winner the CEO said that everyone was great and we should all get a prize. But I know we were the best, and that's what counts, right? ;) And it was SO much fun. I still have my "Vote For Pedro" t-shirt on…
I'll have to post later on whether we win the talent show for it!
...and my coworkers and I are working hard to get the tougher moves down (such as "Ride the Snake" and "Crouching Llama, Hidden Emu"). I think we're gonna blow 'em away! :D
Hell yeah…three girls making complete idiots of ourselves in front of the whole company. I have to learn this by December 15th. Anyone got any tips on the best way to learn it? I've watched the video, "Learn to dance with Napoleon Dynamite"...should I just watch the actual movie scene, or are there any other sites out there that would be helpful?
Fred has gotten 2 cheers on this goal.

Chicago teacher contract talks resume Saturday, still 'disappointed,' says one
BY ROSALIND ROSSI and TINA SFONDELES Staff Reporters September 7, 2012 9:20AM
The Chicago Teachers Union officially opened its "Strike Headquarters" Saturday afternoon as members prepared in case they are forced to walk off their jobs on Monday, September 10th, 2012. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Time
Article Extras
Updated: October 9, 2012 3:01PM
Chicago teacher contract talks resumed Saturday in an attempt to avert a threatened Monday walkout, with union leaders predicting an "intense" session ahead and Chicago Public School officials hoping for a breakthrough.
But as of Saturday afternoon, there wasn't much movement, according to at least one teacher.
"We were very disappointed after being there all day yesterday. When we left we were very disappointed and as of today we're still disappointed," said Gloria Higgins, who is on the bargaining committee.
Chicago Teachers Union officials were heartened, though, Thursday by the addition of School Board President David Vitale to the talks, but emerged disappointed Friday.
CTU President Karen Lewis, looking grim and exhausted, said a new CPS proposal Friday did not address the union's major issues, as promised.
As a result, Lewis said, the next few days of talks would be "intense.''
Jesse Sharkey, the vice president of CTU, also said Saturday he was disappointed with Friday's meeting.
"...We were very much hoping that yesterday we would begin an offer that could really bridge that gap," he said as teachers made signs at 328 S. Marshfield. "The offer they came back with was disappointing, to say the least, and frankly, there was not enough pieces of the puzzle to make a picture. It's not sufficient."
For his part, Vitale was more upbeat, saying late Friday "we know we have on the table things that are positive, that we believe are positive from their standpoint. Whether they are adequate from their standpoint may be something we have to work on.
"It's unpredictable but I think it's close enough that it could breakthrough at any point,'' he said.
Sharkey also added Saturday, "As long as there's time, there's always a possibility to resolve this without a strike."
CTU officials said they could gather delegates required to affirm any deal within two hours or less, but would not call them together over the weekend to approve any strike date extension. A walkout would mark the first Chicago teachers strike in 25 years.
"We're standing firm" on the Monday strike date, said CTU spokeswoman Stephanie Gadlin.
CPS officials cautioned parents to get their contingency plans ready for a Monday walkout, just in case. Some 144 schools have been set up as half-day contingency centers, offering students breakfast, lunch and activities. Lewis called the plans for them "a mess" and said she wouldn't send her children there.
Key contentious issues in the talks are teacher cost of living raises, additional pay for experience, job security in the face of annual school closures and staff shakeups, and a new teacher evaluation process that ties teacher ratings in part to student test score growth.
CTU officials contend CPS' offer of two percent raises in each of four years does not fairly compensate them for the 4 percent raise they lost this past school year and the longer and "harder" school year they will face this school year, with the introduction of a tougher new curriculum.
The union also has pushed for improved working conditions, such as smaller class sizes, more libraries, air-conditioned schools, and more social workers and counselors to address the increasing needs of students surrounded by violence -- all big-ticket items.
CPS officials contend they are seeking a "fair" contract, with raises for teachers, but are limited by funding and the threat of a $1 billion deficit at the end of this school year.
But Curie High School teacher Adam Heenan said the board has been anything but fair. He said CPS officials have "ignored" parents and teachers.
"We're all pretty nervous of what could happen in the next 48 hours but I think we're done with the bullying. It's something we're hoping to make sure stops," said Heenan, who is on the CTU House of Delegates that will ultimately deny or accept the new contract from the bargaining team.
CPS parent Erica Clark agreed with Heenan.
"It's about more than money...They [parents] don't want a strike. The teachers don't want a strike but sometimes you need to take a stand for what's right. And this is a fight about the vision of education," said Clark, founder of Parents 4 Teachers.
"Do we believe in the board's vision of top down corporate management of schools? Telling teachers, telling parents to shut up and not do what's right for kids? Or is it a vision that says parents, teachers, members of the community know what's best for children and should be the key decision makers when it comes to what's happening in our schools?"

Determining a Price Point
I am now in the process of designing and costing my first collection. Originally, I had wanted to offer an upper moderate priced collection of women's clothing using natural fabrics. Well, I have found the numbers just don't make sense. I started to question my desire to use fine fabrics such as silk and linen and instead use polyester and other lower cost man made fabrics. However, after extensive reading and personal debate I've come across a number of points that favor a higher priced product.
First and foremost, female shoppers that normally buy at the designer price point from the likes of Donna Karen and Ralph Lauren are now trading down to smaller, newer labels that offer lower price points. To be exact 26% of shoppers are turning to retailers other than where they would normally shop according to consulting firm TNS Retail Forward. Note, they are tightening the belt but not closing the wallet as may be the case with purchasers of lower priced apparel. Also, women shopping at higher price points shop more often.
What kinds of retailers will carry moderate priced goods vs. contemporary/better priced goods? Well I've been hard pressed to find small stores or boutiques carrying moderate priced goods. I suppose one could sell private label to catalogue companies. However, there are many more boutiques and specialty retailers such as Barney's New York or Henri Bendel that take a risk on new designers. Of course your product has to be of a certain caliber and price point to sell at those establishments.
Apple just recently released the latest financial numbers for the company and Steve Jobs who is somewhat of an industry guru thinks Apple will be fine. Many thought Apple would lower prices considerably or offer low price alternatives. However, the only concession to a downbeat economy was the lowering of the entry price on a Macbook by a $100. Of course, a startup entrepreneur is not exactly Apple, however if there is still a market for electronic accessories costing hundreds of dollars consumers are not that bad off.
Are you debating what price point you should enter the market at? I would love to hear your thought process…

Poyet: We need to avoid FA Cup replay
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has admitted a replay is the last thing he wants from Saturday's FA Cup fifth round clash with Southampton.
The Black Cats' progression in both domestic cup competitions - they face Man City in the Capital One Cup final - and the postponement of their trip to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night means they face a potential scheduling nightmare as they attempt to preserve their top-flight status.
– Sunderland boss Gus Poyet.
The situation tomorrow is: if we win, we need to postpone Liverpool; if we lose and Liverpool win, we need to postpone Liverpool; if we both lose, then we play that day; if we draw, we don't know when we are going to play the replay and we don't know if we have to postpone Liverpool until we play the replay.
I'm sorry, it's not normal. It's impossible. We are talking about the next three weeks, we are not talking about three months' time, so it's not normal.

Fed up, the president of the United States turns to an outside investigator to determine the truth, an Army intelligence officer serving as special assistant to the secretary of homeland security.
Delta Force major Carlos Guillermo Castillo, known as Charley, is the son of a German mother and a Tex-Mex father who was killed in the Vietnam War and awarded a Medal of Honor. A West Point graduate, a pilot, and a veteran of Desert Storm, Castillo has a sharp eye for the facts - and the reality behind them.
Traveling undercover, he flies to Africa, and there, helped and hindered by unexpected allies and determined enemies, he begins to untangle a story of frightening dimensions - a story that, unless he can do something about it, will end very, very badly indeed, not only for Castillo...but for all of America.
©2004 W. E. B. Griffin; (P)2004 Brilliance Audio
"Proving himself solidly in control of cutting-edge military material, Griffin bases his new series not on wars past but on today's murky exigencies of terrorism and international political intrigue." (Publishers Weekly)
"Dick Hill does a top-notch job presenting a huge cast of charters from far-flung corners of the globe." (AudioFile)
"Dick Hill is the right reader; interesting story"
Listen to Presidential Series in order and follow the changes in life caused by each story. The story length might make you thin it will be a slow pace and in places it is but it makes the story more real and interesting. Once I started this series I had to read them all.
I listened to the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child read by Dick Hill. I loved the series and the Jack Reacher Series and had a hard time converting from Jack to Charley Castillo in this story.
Jack Reacher was my favorite but Charley Castillo; Cam Richter in this series is a close second but don't forget another great character read by Dick Hill; Cam Richter by P.T. Deutermann
Read the whole series in order, you certainly get your money's worth of entertainment.
"Could have been better ..."
First time reading W.E.B. Griffin. Interesting plot, well-developed characters but way too much "f..ing" in language and Castillo's desire to take every woman to bed gets tiresome. Too bad as without that it's a good book.
"By Order of the Pres"
Many, many superfluous characters, so hard to follow sometimes. Got the whole series, this being the first it will likely get better, I hope. Kudos to the reader, long listen, which I like, interesting insight on radical Islamic beliefs, but the book/story itself is somehow ... meh ...
"Good narration ...12 hrs in and ZERO action. SLOW!"
I wanted to like this book and series, but it really is the slowest and most long winded thing I have come across here on audible.
Good narration, but I just can't handle "wasting" my time any longer.
"Great book, incredibly performance. Top 5 for me!"
A Great book and a performance by Dick Hill that was incredible! I have bought this audible book for a few friends because I just had to share it. It doesn't start quickly (at least IMO), but once the protagonist gets introduced, you are off! The characters are rich, the dialogue is fantastic, and Dick Hill renders all of the different characters in such a way that they come to life.
Easily in my top 5 Audible books of all time!
"Mostly irritating"
The first thing that annoyed me is wow, the author takes a LONG time to get this story going. I am not a person who requires a lot of action in a book to enjoy it; I enjoy thoughtful, relaxed-paced books but I really had to slog through this one. The story meandered all over the place with little reason for doing so.
The other thing that grated on my nerves were the numerous offensive remarks in the book. I know that will recommend it to many people but I had a hard time with what struck me as disdain for homosexuals, dismissiveness of women and the references throughout the book to "ragheads." There is only one woman in the book who has any action in the story and she is portrayed as insecure, opportunistic, both manipulative and easily manipulated. Granted, there are women like this, but there is lots of other language in the book that feels chauvinistic to me.
The main character is portrayed as irresistible to women but there is almost nothing to support this. He has an interesting background but is not is not an interesting character. He is touted as being super-smart but there is no evidence of that. I had a hard time figuring out what any women would find noteworthy, let alone compelling. The dialogue between the main character and the women he encounters is banal in the extreme.
I was left with the feeling that Griffin has a secret wish to be Mickey Spillane or possibly Ian Fleming but he's got a long way to go.
Dick Hill did a good job of narrating the book. I can't say I found anything remarkable about his narration but I would certainly buy another book that he narrated. Possibly he would do better with better material.
I love to read espionage and criminal thrillers. My lifestyle doesn't allow time to sit and read so audio books is really an enjoyment.
"Very slow moving book"
I really don't know. The book requires a lot of patience.
The book to me, just doesn't move at all.
It wasn't Dick Hill. It was the story.
Sci-Fi, Fantasy, historical fiction, mystery, thrillers with sarcasm are my favorites.
"Bought it in error - A Very Good Error"
I bought this book by mistake late one evening thinking it was a continuation of another series I started. THIS BOOK IS ACTUALLY MUCH BETTER. Griffin does a superb job incorporating facts with fiction. I also added a new word to my vocabulary, 'fing'.
The lead character is developed wonderfully. He starts out looking like a talented officer with great instinct and as more and more information is given by his colleagues, friends & family you find out that he is truly amazing.
Dick Hill goes above his normally great reads to really embracing each characters and allowing the character's individuality shine through.
"By Order Of The President"
This is, I think a great book. First, its the intro to a a compelling chracter, Major Charley Castillo. And a story line that develops all the way to the end.Not to mention the ever entertaining narration of Dick Hill. I will listen to the rest of this series. Also I think its great when a author develops a chracter and expands that into a series.
"Good start"
Most fun listening since the old Jack Ryan books .. looking forward to more. Loved the characters and am happy they will continue with more adventures

Sao Paulo - BRA
6 Hours of Sao Paulo - Autódromo José Carlos Pace - 4,309 km - www.autodromodeinterlagos.com.br
Last winner – #7 Toyota Racing – Wurz, Lapierre – Toyota TS030 Hybrid
The Autódromo José Carlos Pace, also known by its former name Interlagos, is a permanent race circuit located in the city of Sao Paulo. The traditional name of the track (literally "between the lakes") comes from the fact that it was built between two artificial lakes. As it is running anti-clockwise and is situated about 800 metres above sea level it is a very demanding circuit for the drivers and the cars. The bumpy surface and hilly layout make it even harder to stay focused until the end of the race.

I was out for a drive today and came across this guy with 8 of his female friends in a field near our house. They didn't seem to worried about being hunted as I stopped my car to take pictures of them!
Look who's playing in the snow!

Comments about GE 36" Cafe Series French Door Stainless Steel Bottom Freezer Refrigerator:
Delivery and installation were a piece of cake. We returned the first model we purchased GE Profile, becuase there is a "bowed" shaping of the door above the water/ice dispenser that was not appealing. the Cafe series has a flat door and also has a Precise Fill feature which allows you to set the exact oz's you want to fill into your cup/bowl.

Chisom Okpala didn't set Long Beach State ablaze as a freshman. She did, however, excel last season as an All-American middle blocker.
One of the most difficult things a touted recruit has to do in college is bide her time.
Starting gigs in college lineups don't often materialize during the season, after all. If they do, there are always multiple players jostling for the same spot.
Chisom Okpala was an American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American last season.
Even she couldn't get playing time her freshman year at Long Beach State.
"High school volleyball is a lot different than college," said Okpala, once a Yorba Linda resident. "I had a chance to learn (in college), but it was frustrating to practice every day and not be able to go into matches.
"As a freshman, I had a lot to learn from people older than me. I knew I could be of some contribution to the team, and that's all I wanted."
Okpala is a 6-foot-2 middle blocker by way of Valencia High.
She was a two-sport letterman there, an all-league recipient in volleyball and track and field.
She was also an ace player for the So-Cal Juniors Volleyball Club and an Orange County champion in the high jump.
Long Beach State – a perennial Big West Conference contender – recruited her to play volleyball.
"I'm very competitive, so I've always wanted to get better," Okpala said. "If I had six points the last game, then I wanted seven the next game. If there was a middle (blocker) on the other team scoring, my goal would be to shut them down."
Okpala played in two sets her freshman year. She tallied one kill and a solo block.
Her work ethic never wavered though.
"I knew that people were always watching me," she said. "Coaches were watching me. And if I worked hard, then they would see my ability. I wouldn't say I was content with not playing, but I knew I would be successful if I worked hard."
Haleigh Hampton, Long Beach State's premier middle blocker, tore her right labrum prior to the start of the 2012 season.

September 14th, 2012 by Beth Kleber
In 1988, Bic launched a fragrance line, hoping, somehow, to bring the convenience of their pens, lighters, and razors to the world of perfume. The French company touted their product as "the world's first fine French perfume that combine[s] high quality with affordable pricing and a stylish, portable design." Four fragrances were produced: "Jour" and "Nuit" for women, plus "Bic for Men" and "Bic Sport for Men." The pocket-size bottles were designed to resemble Bic lighters and sold for $5 in the same drugstores and supermarkets where other Bic products were made available.
It was a classic case of overreach (despite the "Paris in your pocket" pitch of their advertising) and Bic Parfum tanked, because it turns out people don't want to buy French perfume from the same people who make their disposable lighters and plastic pens. Production and distribution in most markets ceased in 1991, though apparently it is still produced and sold in Iran.
However, let us not find fault with the charming packaging for the US designed by Seymour Chwast. His typically bright and playful illustrations adorn several versions he developed for the brand.
Chwast experimented with several different approaches; the examples below are more type-centric.
This one gets closest to the glamor and exoticism generally favored by fragrance companies in the 80s.
A treasure trove of art and graphics from The Milton Glaser Design Archives. Rare, unseen printed work, original art, and drafts for design and illustration by Glaser, Heinz Edelmann, Seymour Chwast, George Tscherny, James McMullan, and others.

During studies, I had the privilege to live with one of my teachers.
This was the second teacher I studied with which came after, one-to-one studies, initiation and a serious self-practice (dedicating 2-4 hour every morning and 2 hours every evening as well as abiding to that pranayama time-frame of practice mentioned in the Hathayogapradipika of practicing at: 4 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM & 12 AM with days of mauna, daily practice of: japa, mantra and psychic development practices advised by my Guru.
After this was my regular practice for a couple of years, I still could not sit with my teacher without trembling. Not out of fear but out of reverence and well, purity. Not that a Guru has never done any wrong but imagine if you could sit with the person you most feel as a spiritual guide. One who has really walked the path. Not to gain a large student populace, as a career or popularity but to become Self-realized. Maybe the Dalai Lama? Now pretend he made time to see you one-to-one and you were to able to ask for his guidance to measure your spiritual progress or evolution. You want to do well. You want to be free of your ignorances, fear and misperceptions. Here he is a beaming light welcoming everything you know and say and presenting the road that wakes you up. I trembled.
In time, I was given his blessing to teach and that I no longer needed his guidance. At that time, I asked to continue my studies in siddha and tantra. He agreed. I even told my new teacher about this to see if that was okay for him. It was. I know that we tend to look at the Benefits of Yoga from what they do to us or what they can possibly do. It is true, they can do a lot. I have been working extensively with classical hatha yoga postures, kriyas and bandhas to eradicate Parkinson's symptoms, Colitis, IBS, MS, Asthma, etc. Still my main thought is that why do this unless it changes your life. If it is life enhancement then the practice is beyond weightloss, stress, aging, mobility, strength but to aliven the energy within and have all the systems move in harmony and in the most natural state! May these benefits rain upon you, bless you, uplift you and allow us all to be light and true.

Reversed liability for value added tax in construction services was introduced in April 2011. The revision causes changes to the periodic tax return data used as data sources for these statistics starting from the data for April 2011.

Have a happy and healthy new year!

Science provides us today, in exquisite detail, not only the damage we have inflicted upon the ecosystem(s) of the planet but the consequences as well. Why then, are we not changing our behavior? Are we feeling environmentally helpless in our ability to make changes that make a difference?
What if there was a process that would move us from our sense of environmental helplessness to a state of eco-spiritual awakening and eco-activist empowerment that would bring about profound change?
Restoring the Waters offers people this mind-and-heart-changing process through art, poetry, music, ritual, philosophy, and even theology (when useful). Through this process, we become empowered as we remember that the earth community is sacred, begin to understand creation spiritually – according all life forms, human and non-human, their true sacramental value.
Restoring the Waters offers suggestions for action of all kinds – from personal or group reflection to restoration projects. The rich, dynamic potential of Restoring the Waters rests in the strength and diversity of the conversations I hope to engage. I invite you to participate!

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- After months of waiting, a bid has been selected for the Golden Hill Health Care Center. The facility accepted the $11.25 million bid from Dr. Anthony Bacchi, Martin Farbenblum and Edward Farbenblum on Friday.
Bacchi and Martin Farbenblum founded MagnaCare, an employee benefits company. In addition, Bacchi also owns a country club in Saugerties.
The three men have a plan in place for the future of the facility, including the addition of a unit designed to treat patients with Parkinson's disease and a cardio-pulmonary rehab unit.
Improvements to Golden Hill's infrastructure are also part of the plan.
The facility's chair says she's happy to have someone with local roots take over. "We want someone who really cares about the community and doesn't just see this as a business but as a real commitment to the area and investment to the area. He spoke about bringing medical care in Ulster County to a higher level than it has ever been. He spoke with such vision and commitment," said Dare Tompson, Golden Hill LDC Chair.
The next step is for the buyers to apply to the State Department of Health, in order to run the facility. After approval, Ulster County will finalize the transition to the new owners. Golden Hill LDC anticipates the process will be complete by the end of next year.

The Boulder Faculty Assembly Awards for Excellence in Service and Leadership, 2013
The Boulder Faculty Assembly is pleased to announce that up to four (4) awards for excellence in service will be awarded for spring 2013. Each award will be in the amount of $3,000.
The purpose of these awards is to recognize faculty for providing service and leadership to the university and building the overall CU community. Faculty service and leadership is defined as all of those professional activities other than teaching and research that are performed by faculty members as part of their University responsibilities or as community outreach (internal, external, or both kinds of service). Significant weight will be given to service and leadership that is outside a paid appointment. This may include such activities as:
- Committee work (department, campus, and university)
Employment as a Department Chair or similarly compensated position alone is not a sufficient basis for this award, and will not be considered by the selection committee.
Nomination Instructions
Nomination packets must contain the following materials in the following order:
A cover letter from the person nominating the faculty member. If several people are nominating the faculty member they should jointly prepare one cover letter and cosign it.
1 to 2 supporting letters. Submit signed letters of support if at all possible.
A statement written by the candidate on his or her service philosophy.
The candidate's curriculum vitae.
Supporting letters may be from CU faculty members and administrators, alumni, students, and others inside or outside CU having knowledge of the nominee's service contributions. Other supporting materials may be included if appropriate but must follow the items on the list above.
About Nominees
Nominees will be members of the Boulder Campus Faculty Senate. Nominations are solicited from departments as well as from individual faculty members.
Service Awards will not be given twice to the same person. Nominators are encouraged to visit www.Colorado.edu/BFA/archives/pastawards.html to determine whether potential nominees have received the award previously and are therefore not eligible to be nominated.
The deadline for receipt of complete nomination packets is Friday, FEBRUARY 14, 2014.
Please contact BFA Chair Paul Chinowsky at 303-735-1063 or email@example.com with any questions.
Nomination packets should be delivered in electronic form as a single pdf file. Only complete packets will be accepted. Packets should be e-mailed to Carmen Grace, Chair of the BFA Excellence Awards Selection Committee, at firstname.lastname@example.com;

The University has a counseling center to provide support resources for student needs related to mental health. We also realize that many students will have concerns arise that require services beyond those which we can provide on campus.
That's why we require all traditional undergraduate college students who are enrolled with six or more credits and all international students to purchase health insurance through the school or to provide proof of equivalent coverage through a personal health insurance policy.
As an institution, we have a plan through Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon for the 2014-2015 year. All traditional undergraduate students who are taking six or more credits and all international students will be automatically enrolled in the Multnomah University Student Health Insurance Plan at registration, and the premium for coverage will be included with their tuition bill.
If a student has existing coverage under their parents, a spouse or an independent plan, and does not need the coverage through the school, they will be required to go through a hard-waiver appeal process to ensure comparable coverage. This process can only be completed online after class registration.
Students enrolled for the fall semester must enroll/waive on the Regence BlueCross BlueShield Website by September 16. The waiving and enrolling process is open online starting July 1.

The U.S. should raise more money to help reduce the federal budget deficit through an overhaul of the tax code, said Senator Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
Jobs, innovation, competitiveness and opportunity should be four principles that govern the tax code, he said today in a speech at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington.
"Our tax code is growing out of control," said Baucus, 70, a Montana Democrat. "It's time we had a tax code for the 21st century."
Unless Congress acts, tax rates on wages, capital gains, dividends and estates will increase at the end of the year as tax cuts expire. The tax increases are part of a so-called fiscal cliff that includes automatic spending cuts and could push the U.S. into recession if Congress does nothing, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Wednesday I did near 5 hours of saddle time. It was at about 70% of max. You know what I am talking about. That speed and effort where your body is telling you to stop and lactic acid is on the verge of invading your body. The last 30 minutes of that 5 hours was the CVC Wed Night 10 Mile TT....on the mnt bike...full knobbies...cause that's how I roll. Doing the TT I felt a bit sluggish, but my time was faster that last week...almost 1 min faster. If I recall right, my time last night was right near 27 min 30 secs....give or take.
Today is prep. Prep for what you ask? Prep for the Platte River Marathon. It's a 6 hour event down between Lincoln and Omaha. I have labeled this event as a "B" level race. Yes, I want to do well...but, I have to keep things in perspective, as this event is a long distance high intensity effort for the up and coming Mohican 100. Plan now is to jet out of W'loo on Friday late morning and hit up some camping near the venue. Prolly will not do the group ride tonight...but rather spin the legs out riding in GW.
Other bits....
1. Just got word that the new Rotwild's are to ship out on Monday. I'm overly excited! Pictures to come!
2. Ergon is going to take over Marathon Nationals in Breckenridge, CO!!! Race with Ergon? Be there! Many Ergon athletes are planning on attending. Lets flood the valley with green!
3. New Ergon product is about to come Stateside. Prepare yourself. When I know....you'll know.
It's always good to see the little people throw it down at a race! Jordan Watkins of the Ergon sponsored, Team EXPO, is off to a darn good start! WORS racers better "up" their training!

U.S. Government Standard General Ledger Issues Resolution Committee (IRC) Meeting Minutes
June 5, 2008
This meeting was held at the U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Conference Room No. 5, Washington, DC.
Karen Metler (FMS) opened the meeting and went over the agenda. She stated that the IRC would be discussing draft 2008 reclassified financial statements, footnotes for the SF 133, and revolving fund tie-points.
Gwen Marshman (FMS) reviewed the changes to the draft Reclassified Balance Sheet for the Closing Package for Fiscal 2008 Reporting. The group had no questions or comments.
Keith Mertz (FMS) reviewed the changes to the draft Reclassified Statement of Net Cost for Fiscal Year 2008 Reporting. The group had no questions or comments.
Michele Crisman (FMS) reviewed the changes to the draft Reclassified Statement of Changes in Net Position for Fiscal Year 2008 Reporting. The group had no questions or comments.
Kathy Winchester (FMS) reviewed a handout on the footnotes and additional information for the SF 133. She noted that the prior-year adjustment attribute was added to the SF 133 for fiscal 2008.
David Surti (DHS) suggested that, to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, line 1B, Adjustments to Unobligated Balances Brought Forward, should be added to the Statement of Budgetary Resources (SBR). Kathy stated that this is a known disconnect and that agencies need to determine how their adjustments will affect their SBRs. The agencies should make their problems known to the Office of Management and Budget.
Michele reviewed the draft IRC Working Document for Revolving Fund Expenditure Trial Balance Tie-Points. During the discussion of tie-point number one, Assets = Liabilities, Net Position, Revenue, Expenses, and Gains/Losses (Preclosing), the group had comments on several USSGL accounts (see below).
Eileen Parlow (FASAB) recommended that USSGL account 1399, "Allowance for Subsidy," be removed from the table. Michele agreed and said that it would be deleted.
Marilyn Evans (DHS-FEMA) inquired as to whether the following USSGL accounts should be included:
The group decided that these accounts should be included to the extent that activity in these accounts is not credit reform activity. The USSGL staff will make separate tie-point workbooks for credit reform.
Karen pointed out that USSGL account 5312, "Interest Revenue - Loans Receivable/Uninvested Funds," should be included in the table. Michele agreed and said that it will be added.
Karen asked agency representatives if they had any issues and closed the meeting.
