Because a democracy is a government led by its people, voting to elect our leaders is a vital responsibility. As next year's presidential election is just twelve months away, here are some online resources for learning about the American political process and keeping up with the candidates.
C-SPAN Guide to Campaign Definitions4 stars
From "Absentee Voting: a method of voting which enables registered voters to vote in a given election without physically going to the polls" to "Straw Poll: a non-official, non-scientific study of voter preferences", C-SPAN in the Classroom defines nearly forty common campaign terms. But don't stop here. Roam around the rest of the Campaign 2000 site for a searchable archive of political video and audio, lesson plans and live C-SPAN broadcasts.
Elections in American Memory4 stars
"The American system of elections grew out of intense debate and discussion in the Constitutional Convention. The debate was finally resolved when the Constitution was ratified in 1788. In its last major act following ratification, the Continental Congress scheduled the first federal elections." This online Library of Congress collection reviews the history of voting in America, with links to source documents such as political posters and recorded debates.
Iz and Auggie go to the Polls4 stars
This Headbone adventure for grades four through eight incorporates Internet research and American government. The Iz and Auggie story line is presented in comic strip format, with a research puzzle at the end of each episode. In order to solve the puzzle, access to Ask Jeeves for Kids is integrated into the game. If you get stuck, there are hints to help you but using them will lower your score. Plan on each of the seven episodes taking about fifty minutes.
Online NewsHour: Who Will Be the Next President?4 stars
"Competition between people who want to be the next president of the United States is heating up, even though the election season is still months away."

I'm Asking: What's Your Next Big Move?
I'm Asking: What's Your Next Big Move?
by Smart Living 27 Reactions 0 Shares Print
It's an uncertain time everywhere. While February brought the first new-home sales upkick since July we're still experiencing sinking home values, layoffs, and a messy market.
One benefit of the turmoil — in my humble opinion — is that most of us are talking about our long term career goals and the steps we need to take to remain financially secure and confident. A friend of mine recently admitted watching layoffs at her company has forced her to look at her career goals and implement a plan for a change once the job market settles and companies start expanding again.
Have you considered the next major life change you will make?

Also, I don't know if my boyfriend of two years will be able to come with me, so we'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it. Once I'm settled, I also plan on going to graduate school part time.

We've already talked about it so it is just a matter of planning. His family is from SC and he still has relatives there and I lived in Savannah for over a year so we know both places well. We both want to make sure that we have schools for the kids and a job for me lined up.

Question on using wheelchair in parks
Hello. We are looking into a vacation in Feb 2015 and would like to take my mother-in-law with us. She recently had a mild stroke and has a little trouble getting around. Some days are better than others. Now she won't like the idea but I think having a wheel chair would be the best. For the most part she can probably stand in the regular queue with the rest of us. Just a couple of rides that would be a bit of a problem. If I remember correctly, Splash Mountain has steps correct? She may have a little trouble climbing the steps. I guess they have an alternate entrance and we could just use that?
My other question is would it be better to rent from an offsite company? We would be staying on property. She would not need the chair to get in and out of the Disney transportation but I am a little concerned about the distance from the bus stops to where you can rent the wheel chair. Especially places like Epcot and AK where it can be quite a long walk. I guess it is not a big deal to fold up a wheel chair and take it on the bus/boat transportation?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Most rides have a way for the wheelchair to enter. I think I would be more concerned about her ability to get in and out of the rides. You need some balance and coordination. In most cases you can have someone in front of her and in back of her to help her on and off and I would give her the extra hand for support. Point out where she can grab a bar/handle to help herself, too. I would actually buy a lightweight, travel wheelchair. They weigh about 15 pounds and fold easily and they fit into most car trunks. She may find this to be good to use back home, as well. They run about $150. If you are flying you can use it at the airport and it's not counted against you for luggage and there are no fees for it. If she wants to walk some she can push her own wheelchair and use it for balance like a walker.

Sorry to hear of your MIL's stroke. I suggest an off-site wheelchair rental -- you will then have it to/from buses/transportation and for use around the resort. As you mentioned, those distances can be long, especially at the end of the day. The wheelchair can be folded and held on the buses, just like a stroller.
The majority of queues at WDW are "mainstreamed" meaning they are accessible to those in wheelchairs. Some will have the wheelchair start in the regular line but then split off. Very few will utilize a completely separate entrance for wheelchairs. By using the wheelchair in lines, CMs will direct you accordingly to avoid stairs; if she is walking the line, she simply needs to request to avoid stairs. If you think she will need moving walkways slowed, you should mention that to each CM encountered along the queue so they can direct you to the right spot -- sometimes the main boarding area does not have control of the walkway so you will be directed to the exit to board, so it's important to mention this need before getting to the boarding area.
Enjoy your vacation!

My mom is 86 and we have been taking her to WDW for several years now, just visiting one theme park during a 3 day visit and spending the rest of our time at our resort and Downtown Disney. We started off bringing her rollator walker, but then had to rent a wheelchair. The following year we rented a wheelchair from an offsite vendor and had it delivered to our resort for the entirety of our stay. That was much more convenient. The next year we planned to visit Animal Kingdom, and thought, with all of the difficult terrain, we should try an ECV.....that was a bad idea. Although my mom had practiced a little bit at our local Walmart, she still ran into us and other park guests during the entire trip. After several years of spending $100-$150 per trip to rent wheelchairs and an ECV, I finally just broke down and bought her a transport wheelchair....best decision we've made!! Now we use it all the time. It is very light, folds up easier than her rollator walker and takes up less space than the walker in my van. She can use it as a walker, or ride in it when she gets tired. It was well worth the $100 we paid for it! I'd say go ahead and purchase a light wheelchair or transport chair. It's worth the investment.

Wells Fargo trades at a premium to the remaining three members of the "big four" banking club, reflecting a steadier and stronger earnings track record over the past few years, as well as the company' strong mortgage lending position. The company's operating returns on average assets (ROA) have ranged between 1.26% and 1.40% over the past five quarters, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, while its operating returns on equity (ROE) have ranged between 11.51% and 12.37%. The shares closed at $35.33 Monday, trading for 2.1 times tangible book value, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, and for 10 times the consensus 2013 earnings estimate of $3.66 a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Mosby rates Wells Fargo a "Buy," and on Monday raised his price target for the shares by two dollars, to $43, "due to our continued expectation that WFC can produce consistent double-digit earnings per share growth."
Here's a quick look at price multiples and margin developments for the remaining three of the "big four" club:
- Shares of JPMorgan Chase (JPM) closed at closed at $41.19 Monday, trading for 1.3 times tangible book value, and for seven times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $5.20. Over the past five quarters, the company's ROA has ranged from 0.68% to 0.99%, while its ROE has ranged from 8.25% to 11.94%. JPMorgan reported a second-quarter deposit margin of 2.62%, narrowing from 2.68% the previous quarter, and 2.83% a year earlier. Mosby in August included JPMorgan among a list of banks "most exposed to continuing continued NIM pressure," including Wells Fargo, M&T Bank (MTB) and Zions Bancorporation (ZION), but also said that "we expect all four to grow earning assets fast enough to produce positive net interest income growth." The analyst estimates that JPMorgan's net interest margin will compress by 17 more basis points, from the second quarter of 2012 through the fourth quarter of 2013.
- Shares of Citigroup (C) closed at $34.06 Monday, trading for 0.7 times tangible book value, and for 7.5 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $4.53. Citigroup's ROA has ranged from 0.20% to 0.77% over the past five quarters, while the company's ROE has ranged from 2.18% to 8.41%. The company's second-quarter net interest margin was 2.81%, narrowing from 2.90% the previous quarter, and 2.82% a year earlier. CEO Vikram Pandit said during Citi's second-quarter earnings call that "despite the persistent low-rate environment, we've been able to offset spread compression with new client mandates and higher transactions volumes which have enabled us to grow earnings." Citi's net interest revenue declined to $11.6 billion during the second quarter, from $11.9 billion in the second quarter, and $12.1 billion during the second quarter of 2011, "largely due to continued declining loan balances in Local Consumer Lending" within the Citi Holdings run-off subsidiary, according to the company.
- Shares of Bank of America (BAC) closed at $9.30 Monday, trading for 0.7 times tangible book, and for 10 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of 91 cents. Over the past five quarters, Bank of America's ROA has ranged from a negative 1.51% - during the second quarter of 2011, when the company lost $8.8 billion, or 90 cents a share, mainly from a mortgage putback settlement with private investors -- to 1.08%. The company's ROE has ranged from a negative 15.02% to 11.21%, over the same period. Bank of America reported a second-quarter net interest yield of 2.21%, narrowing from 2.51% in the first quarter, and 2.50% in the second quarter of 2011. During the company's earnings conference call in July, CFO Bruce Thompson said "we clearly would not expect to see the decline in interest rates that we saw from the end of the first quarter to the end of the second quarter going forward." Mosby estimates that Bank of America's net interest margin will only contract by a further six basis points, through the end of 2013.
Indeed, Mosby sees a potential silver lining in the Federal Reserve's latest easing. "The interesting thing is that the yield curve steepens as you continue this process" of pushing down long-term rates. "Monetary actions when rates are this low, defend the economy, which mentally moves the investors to worrying about the monetary easing," with inflation becoming a concern, as the fear of a recession subsides.The banks that have maintained the highest net interest margins so far during this period of historically low rates are going to see increasing pressure to their net interest margins over the next year, while the ones with lower margins that have already felt the margin pain are not likely to see much further narrowing of spreads, and may even see improving margins. Here are the five large U.S. banks that Mosby estimates will face the least net interest margin compression through the end of 2013, counting down to the one name expected to show an improved margin:

Erina Harris's first full-length work is a brilliant questioning of traditional forms ranging from the fairy tale to the sonnet. The collection is composed of two serial poems, or "Books," within which the poems build upon each other to create their own careful language. Book One uses the concept of childhood to consider humanity's relationships with places, animals and our own senses. Book Two stretches the idea of elegy, working to express grief through a community of mourners, while lamenting the suicide of a close friend. Throughout the collection Harris uses rhyme in innovative and unexpected ways. Ten years in the writing, The Stag Head Spoke is a polished and highly original work, a debut collection like few others.
"In the distance"
A grey cat yowls,
yanking caught paw to get it back from the frozen track.
Its spine, a bristling archway its sound slowly crosses
in low growl, a memory inherited
is climbing on to the cry of an infant.
He is parted from his sound. It enters sky which carries it
further and someplace lays it down.
The grey cat beside the train track
writhing. His free paw bloodies a scratched slat.
Steel track in place beside the cat
in grit his deepening. He bears down,
under sky tilted jaw at the slit, begins
with teeth at paw,then a second time cries to it.

"E Martin Nolan on Erina Harris: The Stag Head Spoke" (E Martin Nolan, Lemon Hound, 10/11/2014)
"Every poet controls language, but few poets can create Harris' energy level, and if they do, few are able to contain it with such deftness. This is world-class poetry of the highest order. Harris has upturned the tables of poetry, and reset them exquisitely, all while digging deep into the reader's heart. Buy this book, but be ready for it."
"Simpson's fragments of lanuage rewarding" (Jonathan Ball, Winnipeg Free Press, 23/08/2014)
"A strange and powerful debut, a cryptic and mythic suite of poems resembling surreal theatre…. Eclectic and ambitious, The Stag Head Spoke announces the arrival of an impressive talent."
"A Species of Apprenticeship": Why it Took 10 Years to Publish The Stag Head Spoke (Literary Press Group of Canada, 07/07/2014)
"The Stag Head Spoke is a highly polished debut, with a sophistication of form and language rarely seen in a first collection."
Ready to Launch: Buckrider Books (Kris Bone, The Town Crier, 21/04/2014)
"Harris's poetry was haunting and highly refined. Drawing on the traditions of a wide variety of forms (such as the sonnet and the fairy tale) to explore rhyme in new ways, Harris has created an atmospheric set of poems, delivered in an even yet ethereal tone."
Time to taste test new lit (Martin DeGroot, TheRecord.com, 12/04/2014)
"For people who have been involved in the local arts scene for ten years or more, the name that stands out here is Erina Harris, who began her writing career here in Waterloo, and who made a lasting contribution to creative enterprise in this region through her work as a dedicated, creative, and energetic Arts and Culture Coordinator for the City of Kitchener."
Most Anticipated: Spring 2014 Poetry Preview (Kerry Clare, 49th Shelf, 30/01/2014)
"The Stag Head Spoke, by Erina Harris, is a decade in the making and described as 'part Mother Goose, part Anne Carson.'"
Source material (Marshall Ward, Waterloo Chronicle, 18/03/2014)
"'Enfantasques' means 'child-like forms,' and this first book uses a number of forms common to children's literature — the fairy tale, song forms, nonsense verse — as a way to use the idea of childhood and nonsense to disrupt sense. Or, in other words, to consider questions about the adult world from the nostalgic and imagined place of our unreachable childhoods."

Four Tips For Resume Writing in an Online Applicant Tracking System
Okay, we admit the headline makes this piece sound a bit boring but fret not! The online applicant tracking system is the database recruiters use to scour hundreds upon hundreds of resumes to find a gold mine. As in, yours.
As such, you need to make your resume not only user-friendly for potential interviewers and fit into one or two pages, yada yada, but it also needs to be database-ready for the system to pick up key words.

Retro GPS radio won't let you get lost on the way to the classic car show
I love classic cars and even own a couple of them, however, there are a few car gizmos that we tend to take for granted these days that simply weren't invented a few decades back. Becker Autoradio has been supplying radios to some of the finest European car manufacturers since the 1950s, but now they have solved at least part of this problem. The Becker Mexico 7948 might look like one of their classic pinstripe models from the '60s and '70s, but this one includes modern features like turn by turn GPS navigation, voice recognition control, an MP3 player, iPod interface, and internet access.
The price? A cool 1495 Euros (about $2300). This model is for Europe only, but a US version is being developed and should be out this summer

In Pompeii and Ostia the walls and ceilings of almost all buildings, public and private, were painted in unified, inventive decorative schemes that encompassed a wide range of pictures, including landscape, still life, and figured scenes.

Banks Face New Multibillion-Dollar Mortgage Slam: Analyst
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- FBR Capital Markets analyst Paul Miller believes that the largest U.S. mortgage loan servicers could be facing billions in losses from Federal Housing Administration (FHA) claims audits.
In its annual report to Congress on Tuesday, the FHA said that its insurance fund declined even further from last year and its capital ratio "measures reserves in excess of those needed to cover projected losses over the next 30 years."
The agency's economic worth has declined to $2.6 billion as of Sept. 30, from $4.7 billion a year earlier.
The FHA insures over $1 trillion in single family mortgage loans, with borrowers paying a monthly premium for the coverage. The agency said that its Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund, or MMI, had increased to $33.7 billion as of Sept. 30, from $33.3 billion a year earlier, but that its capital reserve ratio was just .024%, falling from 0.50% a year earlier, and far below the 2.00% minimum required by Congress.The FHA says thr agency projects that its capital ratio will reach the required 2.00% during Fiscal 2014. FBR Capital Markets analyst Paul Miller said in a report on Wednesday that since the FHA believes that "unless housing prices stabilize, the insurance fund has a 50% chance of running at a deficit," banks fear that "the FHA's worsening financial condition could prompt the agency to audit claims." When an FHA-insured loan goes bad, the lender files a claim with the agency, which the FHA typically pays-out quickly. Miller said that "due to the state of the FHA's financial position and the possibility of further home price declines, the agency is motivated to take a closer look at claims it has paid out to recoup losses," and that "the agency's hyper-technical servicing requirements make it more likely that servicers, and not originators, could be most at risk in the near term. Miller said that Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) faced "the highest level of losses given their high volume of FHA originations and robust servicing portfolios," with potential claims denials to loan servicers costing $13.5 billion, and another $11.5 billion in costs to the industry if the FHA also targets lenders.
- For Wells Fargo, Miller estimates potential losses of $3.55 billion as a servicer and another $3.29 billion in losses as a lender.
- Bank of America could face $2.33 billion in losses as a servicer and $2.12 billion in losses as a lender.
- For JPMorgan Chase, FHA claims denials could lead to losses of $1.39 billion as a servicer and 1.42 billion as a lender.
- Citigroup's (C) losses as a servicer from FHA claims denials could total $1.66 billion, while its losses could total $810 million.
- U.S. Bancorp (USB) could lose $760 million as a servicer and $700 million as a lender.
- Flagstar Bancorp (FBC) faces "implied losses" of $300 million as a servicer and $390 million as a lender from FHA claims denials.
- For PNC Financial Services (PNC), the analyst estimates that losses from FHA claims denials as a loan servicer could total $240 million, while the company's losses as a lender could total $210 million.

829: Arsenic-Based Life
|Arsenic-Based Life
Title text: According to a new paper published in the journal Science, reporters are unable to thrive in an arsenic-rich environment.
Arsenic is a chemical element which is known to be poisonous to humans and other life forms. But NASA announced the discovery of bacteria substituting arsenic. Like most other scientists Randall did not believe in this (it was disapproved in 2012) he presents us a poison party, showing the reporters their fail on the hype.
In order to fit the theme of the event, the researchers make cocktails and hors d'œuvre, with arsenic. This poisons all of the reporters at the press conference. The words "d'oerves" at the comic are just a typo by Randall for "d'oeuvre" or "d'œuvre".
The girl with the ponytail in this comic is different from the character commonly referred to as Ponytail.
- [Three people, two women and a man, stand looking at a laptop screen, which is sitting on a desk. The woman with a ponytail is pointing at the screen.]
- Ponytail: Our arsenic-based DNA discovery is cool, but these reporters are expecting life on Titan! Our press conference will be such a letdown!
- [Ponytail turns around to face Megan.]
- Ponytail: Okay, we need to make it more exciting for them. How do you make an event entertaining?
- Megan: Dunno, I suck at parties. Music, I guess?
- [Ponytail girl turns back around and leans over to start typing on the computer, while the other two look on. Megan puts her hand to her chin.]
- Ponytail: WikiHow says you can "serve cocktails and hors d'oerves that fit the theme of your event."
- Megan: Easy enough!
- [Ponytail girl stands at a podium on a stage, the man stands amongst the audience with a tray. All the audience members are either dead or dying, having fallen onto the floor or slumped over in their seats.]
What a waste of good poison, the food at conferences usually does that on it's own anyways. Davidy22[talk] 13:27, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Maybe it is to be noted that in the comic, "serve cocktails and hors d'oerves" should have been written "serve cocktails and hors d'œuvres"? 22.214.171.124 15:14, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- I do not talk French but my dictionary tells me that "d'œuvre" (without the trailing s) is correct. Thanks for your hint, explanation is updated.--Dgbrt (talk) 19:41, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- "Hors d'oeuvres" is English; "hors d'œuvre" (with a ligature and without the trailing s) is French. 22.214.171.124 12:53, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates â¿¿ Dubai says it's getting back in the business of biggest. After years of downsized ambitions because of a debt crisis, Dubai has unveiled plans for a new tourism-retail hub that will include a shopping complex that would outclass the Dubai Mall, billed as the world's biggest.
SPAIN-REGIONAL ELECTIONVoters in the economically powerful region of Catalonia on Sunday punished the leader who made a referendum over breaking away from Spain a central plank of his campaign, seeing his party's majority reduced by a dozen seats. AP photos. KUWAIT-ELECTION KUWAIT CITY â¿¿ There is little middle ground â¿¿ but plenty of high-stakes tension â¿¿ as Kuwait stumbles toward elections for the politically empowered parliament among the Gulf Arab states. The voting next Saturday is certain to hand the Western-backed ruling family a near sweep of friendly lawmakers because of a wide-ranging opposition boycott, but it opens greater risks for unrest that could spill over into oil prices and Washington's plans to use Kuwait as a military hub in the regional face-offs with Iran.

Find a pet to adopt
My name is Stewie!
Facts about Stewie
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Stewie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.

Estimated Weight: 12 lbs
Temperament: Shy, playful, intelligent, energetic
Crate or Housetrained?: Both
Good with other dogs or cats?: Great with dogs, good with cats
Good with kids?: Unknown
Short Bio:
Don't be fooled by this shy little guy. Stewie is an extremely playful terrier mix that loves to socialize with other dogs of all sizes and is fond of toy ropes. His favorite pastime activity is rubbing his head across the carpet enthusiastically and flopping onto his back for a belly rub when he's finished. He is house-trained but can be a little too excited when he greets you which leads to small accidents. Stewie is also crate-trained and doesn't seem to mind cats, preferring to leave them alone and watch from afar. He would be a great indoor dog for any home!
If you'd like to meet this dog, please fill out an adoption application at http://www.sarocks.org/adopt or visit us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/sarocksorg.
The $85 adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, rabies tag, heartworm test, and 1st month's flea/tick & heartworm preventative. l
Adopting an animal from a foster home gives you the best option of finding a pet that matches your lifestyle and home environment, because they are in foster, our foster homes are able to give you more information on their temperament and personality.
Other Pets at San Antonio R.O.C.K.S.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Stewie, a San Antonio Jack Russell Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Antonio breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

HOOVER, Ala. (team release) -- The Tennessee Smokies defeated the Birmingham Barons 2-1 in the rain-shortened finale of the series at Regions Park.
The game was called due to rain in the top of the sixth inning to give the Smokies a series win in the final series of the season between Tennessee and Birmingham.
Tennessee starter Austin Kirk picked up the win in his first Double-A start. Kirk allowed three hits and one earned run in five innings.
Matt Szczur led off the game with a double off of the wall. After Logan Watkins moved him to third with a sacrifice bunt, Justin Bour drove in Szczur for his Southern League leading 107th RBI of the season to give the Smokies an early 1-0 lead.
Tennessee added its second run in the top of the fourth as Mike Burgess brought home Junior Lake on an RBI single to put the Smokies' advantage at 2-1.
Birmingham would answer in the bottom of the 4th. With one out, Trayce Thompson hit a solo home run to cut the Smokies' lead to 2-1.
That lead would hold until the top of the sixth inning when the game went into a delay due to inclement weather at 8:04 P.M. local time as the Smokies had runners on the corner and one out. The game was called at 8:38 p.m. as the Smokies.
The Smokies will bus home to Tennessee and will start a 10-game homestand tomorrow night at Smokies Park. The Smokies will first welcome in the Chattanooga Lookouts for the first five games. In tomorrow night's 5:00 p.m. game, Tennessee will start right-hander Dallas Beeler (4-7, 4.17 ERA) against Chattanooga right-hander Matt Magill (10-6, 3.75 ERA).

Wells has the title of 'smallest city in England' and as the only city in Somerset this beautiful place with its magnificent Cathedral is sure to impress the visitor. Situated at the foot of the Mendip hills, Wells was named after the springs which rise in the garden of the Bishop's Palace. Today the town produces manufactured products including cheese, textiles and paper.
With a population of over 10,000 the town has a good range of shops and cafes, as well as a theatre and cinema. On Wednesdays and Saturdays the picturesque Market Place, where in 1645 the Quaker William Penn preached to the crowds as part of his crusade, becomes filled with stalls selling a range of things from jewellery to vegetables and plants.
In St Andrew's Street near the Cathedral Green is the Wells museum housed in a Tudor building which displays interesting historical, geological and archaeological collections from Wells and the Mendip area.
Steeped in much history the grand Wells Cathedral, features as a central attraction in the city, and was built between the 12th -14th centuries and is a fine and elegant example of Gothic architecture. There is a mechanical clock dating from the 14th century and the magnificent West Front contains approximately 400 carved stone figures including Adam and Eve.
To the south of the Cathedral is the Bishop's Palace, which is moated and fortified and was built in the 13th century and later modified in the 17th century. It is today home to the Bishop of Bath and Wells and is open from April to the end of October. To the north of the Cathedral and linked by a covered bridge is one of the oldest complete medieval streets in Europe -Vicar's Close- well worth a visit.
Wells also appears as "Barchester" in the novels written by Anthony Trollope.

Montana Senate backs big school funding bill
The state Senate is endorsing a revamp of education funding that both increases school money and cuts property taxes.
Senate Bill 175 relies on an influx of natural-resource development income as it provides revenue sought by school officials. It also provides some relief for the homeowners who now foot most of the bill.
Sen. Llew Jones of Conrad spent two years drafting the measure with the help of school officials. He drew a broad coalition of support Friday.
The Republican successfully beat back opposition from his own party's conservative leaders, who argued it spent too much.
It would increase school funding about $100 million over the next two years and reduce property taxes about $50 million.
Jones says the measure also makes funding more equitable across the state.

Local Toastmasters forms new club
By 05/08/2003 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
WAXAHACHIE - Aspiring public speakers will now have an opportunity to give their speeches at the new Toastmasters Club.
Waxahachie resident Pat Moriarty said he experienced first hand what the 79-year-old leadership group did for him, and wanted a chance for others to take part.
'I have received 10 inquiries and they continue to roll in,' Moriarty said. 'Some have mentioned they will bring friends into the club.'
In addition, membership dues will run around $34 a year, after Moriarty establishes what he calls a 'demonstration meeting,' a test-run to see how popular the group will be.
'At that time, we will decide if enough people [12] are interested for a charter, when and where we will meet, how often, etc.,' he said. 'I would like a club closer to home as I now travel to Arlington for a meeting each Tuesday.'
The closest Toas-tmasters Club is in DeSoto, however, but Mori-arty said he saw potential in Ellis County.
'Toastmasters also developes leadership skills, as well as communication skills,' he said. 'It is a challenge, but fun.'
Those interested can contact Moriarty at 972-225-0957 or 972-617-6583.

Now I get an error from my scala code as if the value were not anymore a member of the class.
Checking again in the Best Practices and in the VariantRecalibrator documentation I can't find it anymore. Could you confirm it's not used anymore? or am I doing something wrong?

Score from 509 reviews Excellent
location. staff room overall cleanliness
cleanliness of gym. water fountains had food/drink stains for several days. coopers bar changed to italian restaurant with bar now obscuring view through window very small christmas tree compared to last year. night time road works (not hotels fault).
Art Deco fixtures & fittings, but especially appreciated friendly & helpful staff.
Checking/out counter was a bit slow. Also flagging a taxi delayed, due to mix up with other guests' access to their parked/ garaged cars
I got a bottle of champaign for my bday:-)
The price of the hotel needs to be what you say it is and not because it Was busier weekend than you thought
I very much enjoyed the people there and how they made everything so easy for us,good job in hiring this stuff!
The only one big thing I didn't like is the noise I could here from flushing toilets every half an hour,it was so loud I couldn't go back to sleep. And also I expected the room to be a bit bigger,but that was fine cause we just needed it to spend the night.
The lobby Location House keeping
Outdated The place has lost the attentiveness it once had. Bathrooms are like 1950s needs revamping
We arrived early, and the staff went out of their way to prepare a room for early chech-in. Hotel staff was very accommodating and helpful in all respects.
While the Tic Toc diner (attached) was excellent, we found the also attached Italian restaurant marginal at best. Overall good experience.
Excellent location for the cost, could not have been closer to the main attractions and more
Room on the small size but this was to be expected in NYC
Location was everything, the front desk staff was very helpful and gave us a nice upgrade.
Room was a little drafty, and beds weren't that comfortable.
Two bathrooms in the room free wifi
trouble getting a taxi from the front due to congestion around entrance
The location was spot on for all must doos in New York! The hotel had a great atmosphere with people coming in and out of the foye constantly.
Bathroom was small and the restaurants were pricey in hotel... Tic Toc should give discount to people staying in hotel!!
The location can't be beat and the staff were all outstanding. The rooms are New York size but comfortable.
The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything going on in the room and bathroom next door.
Loved the art deco decor and history of the building. Rooms were very clean and service good. Staff was friendly and helpful, Location was fantastic.
Room was a little small but what I would have expected in Manhattan. Hallways could use a freshening.
Old dark rooms
Room was tiny and decor dated without anywhere to lay your case let alone unpack. If this is a refurbished room then money has not been well spent. Rather expensive for the quality of room despite the good location
Location, Location! Suzie,,at the concierge desk, made our trip less hectic. She took her time and explained (everyday!) the subway system. We were afraid of it but she made it a breeze. She outlined our walk to the Intrepid and back to Times Square. The doormen were very efficient in getting cabs when we needed them. Tictoc was good be we really enjoyed the dining room; very relaxing after a busy day. Pumpkin ravioli excellent!
The guys at the concierge desk.....forget about them. They didn't roll their eyes, but you had that feeling that they did! We are retired and in a big, strange city, spending over $4,000 in 5 days,,,,a little respect, please. The internet went out on us on the third night and had to spend 20 minutes on the phone to get it back. 2 nights later same thing but we were too tired to want to try again. Not fair; we need when out of town.
Located right opposite Penn station and near Macy's, this hotel ticks all the right boxes. Although an older building, I liked the charm of the Art Deco. Our room had three big windows with fantastic views.
The bathroom had a big window in it which made it a little cold and although very clean, it was a little worn in places.
Very good location and the food in the restaurant was good, although the restaurant decor could do with updating. The room was clean and a good size (twin room) but needed decorating.
The rooms are currently being renovated, sadly we were in one of the rooms not yet done!
Location right near Penn station where I got off train. Decent access to rest of city. Two blocks from Macys. The room was clean and tidy which is good for NYC.
Cost. Over $400 when fees are included for one night. NYC is expensive, but thats no excuse for overcharging for a room that is only 12 x 12 with windows that have not been washed in some time.
The room was fresh, clean and comfortable.
I like the price for the value. The hotel was very elegant and clean. The staff were professional and helpful. Loved the location; very close to Times Square, Penn Station, and many shops and restaurants. Easy to access from the highway if you are driving in, and the valet service is run like a well-oiled machine.
Our shower had some hot and cold spurts.
If you are looking to take a traib out of penn station for your morning meeting, this location is the best.
The hotel bathrooms have not been updated and the showers are absolutely horrible. Small toilet, yes really small. The shower heads fron the 80's literally spit the water at you making the most ridiculous of noises. Never again are we staying at this hotel.
I was in walking distance to Time Square. The Diner next door stayed open 24hrs and the food was good.
We liked the location, the friendly helpful staff and the Ticktock diner.
We did not like having to insist on the room with a view which we had paid an upgrade for. Five attempts before the right room. We disliked the Trattoria Bianca which meant we could not, as residents enjoy a drink in a bar.
I liked my suite once it was changed after the first night.
Did NOT like the original suite as my PA booked a view and it did not have one. Didn't like no true room service as it was a takeaway service with plastic knives and forks even though room had table and chairs. Which seemed odd to us.

Boys basketball: Portage starts fast, cruises past Hobart
By Dave Melton Post-Tribune correspondent December 4, 2012 11:08PM
Updated: January 6, 2013 9:52AM
HOBART — In the first quarter, Portage's offense racked up points at a breakneck pace. For the rest of the game, it slowed down considerably, but had built enough of a lead to seal a 52-35 victory over Hobart (0-3).
"From last Friday night's big win over Michigan City, we came into tonight saying that we had to have intensity to start the game," said Portage (3-0) head coach Rick Snodgrass. "That was a huge key for us."
Snodgrass implemented a full court press on defense to help jumpstart his squad, but it was on offense where the Indians were nearly unstoppable. They hit five 3s in the first quarter — three by Jordan Simpson. Overall, Portage made 11 of 14 shots in the first. Sophomore guard Jordan Collazo was the chief distributor of the basketball, racking up six assists in the period, which ended with Portage ahead 27-8.
"You have to give Portage a lot of credit because they were ready to play from the start," Hobart coach Mike Black said. "They played a lot harder than we did. We just weren't ready to go, and I'll take the blame for that. We were sleepwalking for eight minutes."
Hobart inched back in the next two periods, outscoring the visiting Indians 10-6 in the second and 7-6 in the third. Still, the Brickies did not get within 12 points of the Indians in the second half. In the final period, Simpson scored eight straight points — finishing with a game-high 20 — to put the Brickies away for good.
"We opened well and we closed well, but we did have a bit of a lull in the second and third periods," said Snodgrass. "Sometimes it's hard to maintain that intensity when you get a big lead. But, believe me, we're not disappointed. We won this game and we're 3-0, but there's a lot we'll learn from this one."

Sales Associate Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Urban Outfitters.
I filled out an application and a week later was asked to take a survey. Two weeks later I was invited to a group interview. There were only 3 other people in my group. The interview was laid back and extremely quick. It took less than 10 minutes which was kind of odd. We were asked simple questions like : "why should we hire you?" ,"availability?", "what do you like about Urban Outfitters?" and "What do you know about customer service?" . It was simple but didnt feel like a proper interview.It was very rushed. Overall it was easy and would recommend applying.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Urban Outfitters.Interview Details
I first filled out a very detailed application online before being emailed about a group interview. Questions were very simple - we answered in a round robin fashion, with the interviewer even answering the questions herself. Be personable, charming and dress as if you shop at UO if you want a chance at being hired. They hardly care about past retail experience so long as you can answer questions about LP. I was emailed a test to take online before being called about a second interview with the store manager. My second interview was very laid back and took less than 10 minutes. He asked what I do in my spare time to see if I was a good fit; nothing about experience really. Got a call about a week later. Entire process took about two weeks.Interview Questions

Sales Associate InterviewApplication Details
I applied online – interviewed at Urban Outfitters.Interview Details
Like most people who have reviewed, I applied for the position online. It took about two weeks until I received an e-mail inviting me out for a group interview.
The group I was part of was relatively small (4 people, myself included) and we were each given a mini questionnaire to fill out with simple topic questions like "Tell us a random/interesting fact about yourself" and "What is your spirit animal?" We each took turns reading our responses to the questions to get to know each other, and then the interviewer posed more questions that anyone could jump in and answer.
Overall, the interview was very laid-back and more conversational than anything. The questions weren't anything difficult or unexpected, and the interviewer was very drawn to those who were outgoing and friendly. I definitely had my doubts about landing the position because I have zero prior work experience, let alone retail experience. However, I tried my best to put myself out there as someone who is friendly, easy to get along with, and hard-working. After the interview, we were e-mailed a simple ethics survey to fill out. Two days later I was offered the job!Interview Questions

Group interview - they sat us down in a circle with 6 other people and asked a series of general sales associate related questions. These ranged from how important is it to know the products, how one would deal with a difficult customer over the phone, when is it acceptable to call your manager, etc. It is important to answer early as everyone answers in a circle, so it's easy for answers to be repeated. Saying something original early is the easiest way to get noticed.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Urban Outfitters.Interview Details
I applied through an online application. (I don't think UO does paper applications at all anymore) and a week later received an email asking me to complete a video interview through Hirevue. You record your answers to the questions and it was super laid-back. They asked questions like what was the last time I received challenging feedback and they asked me to draw a picture that represents me, my style, or just anything about me. Then about a week later I received another email asking me to complete an ethics survey. It asks really obvious questions like "Do you think it's ok to get high before work" and stuff like that. Make sure you take your time doing this because I messed up and answered a question wrong and I really thought it ruined my chances. I got an email a couples days later saying that UO wasn't going to be moving forward with my application. However, about two weeks later I got another email asking me to attend a group interview a few days later. When I got to the store, everyone was really nice and there was three other people in my group. Although it's not all UO cares about, they are looking for stylish people so dress like you would if you worked there! From what I saw, there wasn't any other groups there at the time. The interview was again, really laid-back. We took turns asking questions like, "What is you dream job?" and "When is the last time you experienced great customer service?". It seemed like they were just looking for people with an out-going personality and who would work hard and enjoy it while they're doing it. I was just myself and although I have no retail experience I felt it went really good! It lasted about 30 minutes and then we were told we'd here back by the end of the week. The next day I got a call and was offered a position as a sales associate :)Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Urban Outfitters in October 2014.Interview Details
I applied online through their website. A few days later, I checked the status of my application on the site and saw that no updates were made. I called the store and the store manager told me to fill out an online questionnaire. The questionnaire asked about my views on stealing, punctuality, work ethics, etc. The next day I received an email asking to come in for an interview the following day.
The interview was very casual and felt more like a conversation than interview. We sat on a couch while he asked who my fashion inspiration was, if I can handle angry customers, my work history, what I wanted to get out of this job.
At the end of the interview, he offered me the job and said there would be a 30-day trial period and would send over paperwork so I could start.Interview Questions

Songstress strives towards solo success
Painted fingernails hit the guitar strings, and her hands strummed the chords to Coldplay's "The Scientist." As she sat at the kitchen table with her guitar in her lap, the notes left her vocal chords in perfect tune.
Miranda Mendoza, a 19-year-old communication major at CSUN with the gift of music, decided to take her feet out of the music business pool to focus on the discovery of what other talents college could highlight.
Mendoza's mother, Jennifer Moss, was a recording artist in her 20s who decided to leave the business after her image was at the mercy of industry executives. This would become the tale of Mendoza's own experience in the entertainment machine of Los Angeles.
For a moment, she thought she made it. During her junior year of high school in 2009, Mendoza released a single on iTunes and a music video on YouTube.
While other teenagers were at the movies or parties, she was in a recording studio. With headphones on her ears and her mouth to microphone, Mendoza visualized herself on the road to success.

- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at PrincetonOne full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
There are currently no pros to working for this division.Cons
I joined PrincetonOne RPO several years ago, at a time when the company was known as a leader in the staffing industry. They truly cared about their employees, providing ongoing training, new career paths and unique incentives. Employees had a voice, and were excited to share new ideas that positively impacted the organization. Over the past few years the management team has changed for the worst, drastically impacting what was once a positive, creative and fun atmosphere. The current leadership team micromanages and operates on a no tolerance policy, meaning that there is no room to learn from mistakes and develop professionally. The culture is extremely demanding and prevents employees from openly sharing new ideas.
As the cost of living increases, the pay rate for RPO employees remains below market average. Annual reviews and merit increases cease to exist, and bonuses are unattainable. The leadership team is aware of the problem but turns a cheek as talented employees with an average of 3-5+ years' tenure leave for better opportunities.
While similar RPOs are thriving, the PrincetonOne RPO division is struggling to stay afloat. HRO Today included PrincetonOne RPO in only one category out of eight in 2014. This category was for Mid-Market Leaders, and they ranked 8/9. PrincetonOne RPO's specialty is Healthcare, which is a category that they were not considered for. The staffing industry continues to evolve, yet PrincetonOne RPO lacks the ability to remain current on new technology and industry trends, and places no value on employees.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook
