Employee Training Opportunities
Sign Up for Stigma and Mental Illness Understanding Training
Don't forget to register for the Stigma and Mental Illness training scheduled this Friday, Jan. 24 at noon in SB 106 with Dr. Caroline Bohman.

Learn how to identify stigma and what you can do about stigma and mental illness in this session.

4 Best Holdings in Harvard's Portfolio
Alcon has two great things going for it -- a great return on equity (ROE) and impressive free cash flow. Alcon's ROE is an industry-leading 33.6%, while last year's free cash flow was an impressive $2.93 per share.
2. America Movil S.A.B. (AMX)The endowment also owns a nice collection of foreign telecom stocks, the biggest being America Movil, the Latin American wireless giant. It's a prototypical emerging-market name Harvard's fund managers tend to seek out.
America Movil is priced a little more palatably than Alcon, at only 15 times its trailing earnings and looks even juicier at 12.1 times projected 2011 earnings. That may not be the biggest reason why the endowment now owns $30 million worth, nor is it solely why the portfolio increased its position by 36% last quarter. No, America Movil likely caught the attention of the endowment's pros after it posted six consecutive annual earnings increases. It's on pace for a seventh this year.
Some of those improving quarters were better than others, to be sure, but the company's stale growth between 2007 and 2010 appears to truly be a thing of the past. This year's anticipated 27% increase in the bottom line is set to be the strongest growth pace since 2007.
3 & 4: Southeast Asia, BrazilFinally, one of the Harvard endowment fund's biggest positions is its $200 million stake in the iShares MSCI Pacific ex-Japan Fund (EPP). That being said, it's worth noting the fund's managers have allocated almost as much money to the iShares Brazil Fund (EWZ). At last look, about $187 million of the $27 billion portfolio (about 0.7%) was invested in the Brazil ETF, making it the biggest country-specific holding in the endowment.
The picks speak for themselves -- they're bets that the Pacific Rim countries and the South American powerhouse, most of which could be considered emerging market names, appear better positioned for growth than other geopolitical areas. Its interest in Brazil is one I explored and agreed with just a few days ago.Action to Take: Sometimes it pays to directly poach the picks of a team of stock-pickers who have more than proven their worth. Other times, investors can be better served by just borrowing the themes and underlying ideas of professional fund managers.

In April 2013,the GWCO collaborated with the Wheaton Chorale in a performance of Haydn's glorious "St. Theresa Mass", and opened the concert with a suite of music from Bizet's opera "Carmen". In December of 2012, the GWCO presented a concert of music inspired by Spain, featuring Bizet's "Carmen" Suite" and Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez", featuring the acclaimed classical guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan.
In May of 2012, the orchestra was joined by Boston Symphony Orchestra violinist Victor Romanul in a performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto. The spring concert also featured the 10-member GWCO cello section in a performance of David Popper's Requiem. A month earlier, the orchestra presented "Black Ink: Music by African-American Composers", which featured esteemed composer Alvin Singleton and a concerto by Joseph Boulogne, a Caribbean composer who was a contemporary of Mozart. The orchestra's concert in November of 2011 was geared especially toward children, and included a performance of Saint-Saens' "Carnival of the Animals" as well as music by Beethoven, Handel, and a ragtime piece by James Reese Europe. In May 2011, the orchestra performed Schubert's Symphony No 3, Vivaldi's double cello concerto in G minor, and Act 1 of Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro". The featured soloists in this concert were all current Wheaton students.
Taking advantage of the richness and diversity of the Wheaton community, the GWCO prides itself on its trail-blazing programming. In December 2010 the orchestra also presented an entire concert of music by Latin American composers that drew heavily upon the vibrant folk and pop traditions of Central and South America. In March 2011, the GWCO collaborated with the internationally-known turntablist, digital music artist, and composer DJ Spooky in a unique multimedia concert that bridged the gaps between classical music, hip-hop, and techno. In May of 2011, the orchestra collaborated with student singer-songwriters Lillian Jones and Lizzie Camlin-Irving in a performance of original songs with orchestral accompaniment.

7 Surprising Reasons You Didn't Get a Call Back for that Job
by Heather Huhman - Sep, 2010
It's natural to wonder why you didn't get an interview – or perhaps make it to the second round – for a job you thought was a perfect fit. While I always feel it's best to ask the hiring manager what went wrong, do a little self-analysis first. Perhaps you made one of the following mistakes: 1. You didn't follow-up, and someone else did. At every part of the job search process, it's important to follow up with the hiring ma...
Personal Branding and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
by Valerie Sokolosky - Sep, 2010
In the 1960s, psychologist Abraham Maslow introduced his hierarchy of needs—the things a human being needs most in a sequence that builds one on top of the other. By using this hierarchy, it helps us understand the actions and motivations of others as well as ourselves. There are five levels of human needs and each must be fulfilled before the next level can be realized. Here are the five levels (in inverse order) of Maslow'...
Is My Personality Killing My Chances?

How to Create a Powerful Leadership Resume by Quantifying Achievements
by Laura Smith-Proulx - Sep, 2010
Trying to tell employers the story of a long and successful executive career on your resume? Unfortunately, describing yourself as a seasoned, skilled, or experienced leader won't cut it as much as showing the results of what you've done.

Is Your Career Goal Realistic?
by Laura Smith-Proulx - Sep, 2010
If you're not gaining the response you want from your job hunt, there can be several reasons: lack of hiring in your desired field, a watered-down resume that doesn't represent your skills, shotgun job-search tactics like applying to every job you see, or an over-the-top, unrealistic goal for your next position. The latter situation can occur when you're unsure how your skills tie into different rungs on the career ladder,...

Rent control is an illegitimate set of laws that
enact a price ceiling on housing leases. They set a maximum allowable
price that a landlord can charge a tenant, thus establishing an
artificially lower price than would otherwise be set on a free market.
The proponents of this kind of market shackle believe that rent
control solves the problem of high-priced housing. Since the price
has gone up, then by forcing prices to stay low people will be able
to find affordable housing. Rent control fetishists err because
they do not realize that this is not a solution at all. The problem
that causes rent to go up is not that one day landlords decided
to form the New Orleans Landlord Price Fixing Cartel, but rather
because there is a massive
shortage of housing.
The price of housing (and of almost everything
else in New Orleans) is going up because at the old price, demand
is greater than supply. Due to Katrina, the amount of viable housing
is far less than the amount people want to occupy. Rent control
does not address the problem at hand — that of low supply.
People in the market do what they've always wanted: to get the most
for their goods and services. Workers and employers ask for the
highest possible price that buyers are willing to pay. Competition
keeps this practice in check. It allows for prices to vary depending
on consumer preference, rewarding with profits those who best satisfy
demand and punishing with losses those who do not. High prices also
serve as a market signal to entrepreneurs. It says, very loudly,
build more houses!
New Orleans is experiencing a drastic housing shortage.
Landlords, like workers, see that people are willing to pay more,
and prices rise accordingly. Under the rent control scenario, prices
are not allowed to increase (or not increase as much or to freely
and dynamically fluctuate). Therefore, what incentive would there
be for any company, particularly one from another city of state,
given the shortage of local workers in New Orleans, to build houses?
Rent control laws would not permit such an incentive to arise. Therefore,
the construction industry would not have as much of a reason to
build houses there. Let's remember that the problem is not high
prices; the high prices result from lower supply.
Rent control also has a more nefarious result:
it demonizes landlords even more. If before Katrina they already
had a questionable reputation, rent control could quite possibly
make things worse. How so? If all of a sudden I am forced to keep
prices lower than they ordinarily would, individual renters (just
like building companies), have less of an incentive to rent houses.
Some, for example, would prefer to sell the home rather than rent
it at a loss even if there were people willing to pay more. Others
who had suffered damage might not be as expedient in their repair
knowing that they would not be able to recover from their loss under
rent control laws. Finally, insofar as rent control also reduces
competition, the quality of new and existing housing could very
well be compromised. In all of these scenarios, however, the result
is the same. By eliminating high prices the problem of housing is
exacerbated. Construction would be slower, owners would be more
apathetic, and people would still not have a place to live, regardless
of the price. Indeed, with no rent control laws the prices would
come down on their own as more houses are added to the marketplace.
Only by allowing prices to temporarily rise can we be sure that
incentives to build stay strong. Anything else shows an utter contempt
for private property rights and economic retardation.
It is very interesting and insightful to point
out that the same people who call for price-gouging laws also call
for rent control. Like rent control, price-gouging laws set a maximum
price on a product or service. We've heard it quite often recently
as the summer storms reduced domestic refining capacity, hindered
the import of crude, and blocked delivery routes. In the gulf area,
we also heard about price
gougers in tree cutting and house gutting. What is known as
"price-gouging" is nothing more than the (mostly temporary)
increase in the price of labor. Due to the hurricane, not only was
there a huge upsurge in demand for labor, but also a sharp reduction
in supply. The high prices are merely a result of this new set of
conditions. Again, the high price serves as an incentive to bring
people in and get things fixed as quickly as possible. price-gouging
laws, just like rent control, make sure that fewer people are rewarded
for working. We don't hear much about "wage gouging" laws
even though companies in the affected areas are hiring workers at
much higher hourly wages. The workers are, by the same standard
we used to talk about rent control and price-gouging, gouging the
companies. Why doesn't the supporter of rent control also want to
impose maximum hourly wage laws? If I own a business, I am "forced"
(just like the house owner is "forced") to pay more to
an employee during a shortage. But why is it, on the other hand
permissible, according to the market saboteurs, to not allow other
things to rise in price also, such as housing and gasoline? It makes
no economic sense at all.
Oh I can hear it already. I hear the drums calling
for rent control, the chant of the progressive-minded urging our
proud and blessed public officials to do something about the housing
situation in the Crescent City. "It's for the children, for
the old, for the Everyday Joe," they shall claim. Others, with
magnanimous prosaic recitation skills, will no doubt proclaim that
all tenants are created equal and that New Orleans ought to respect
some inalienable right to be
free from the elements. "Down with the landlords and their
evil and greedy paws!" Rent control in New Orleans? Let's hope
I am wrong.

CBOE Holdings Declares Special Dividend And Increases Stock Repurchase Authorization
CHICAGO, Dec. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CBOE Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBOE) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock. The special dividend will be paid on January 17, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 3, 2014.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121022/MM97794LOGO-a)
The company's Board of Directors also authorized the company to repurchase an additional $100 million of its outstanding common stock, to be used in addition to any unused amount remaining under prior authorizations. The new authorization brings the total amount available for stock repurchases to approximately $167 million at December 9, 2013. The company had approximately 87 million shares of common stock outstanding at December 9, 2013."We are pleased to return capital to stockholders through a special dividend and an increased share repurchase authorization. Both actions reflect our continued commitment to create value for stockholders and the Board's confidence in our ability to generate cash while retaining the financial flexibility to support our plans for future growth,'' said Edward T. Tilly, CBOE Holdings CEO. "We take a disciplined approach to managing cash, looking first to fund the growth of our business, then to return capital to our stockholders through sustainable quarterly dividends and share repurchases. While this special dividend should not be viewed as a recurring event, our Board will continue to consider all capital allocation alternatives," Tilly added. The repurchase program permits the company to purchase shares through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. It does not obligate the corporation to make any repurchases at any specific time or situation. The timing and extent to which the company repurchases its shares will depend upon, among other things, market conditions, share price, liquidity targets, regulatory requirements and other factors. Share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice.

Keene, N.H. - The president of a once-prominent Keene construction company has been charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault and kidnapping, the Keene Sentinel reported.
Frederick L. Baybutt, 53, of Keene, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman through the actual application of physical force, and kidnapping the woman by preventing her from leaving the residence where the incident allegedly occurred, according to complaints from N.H. State Police.
Arrest warrants and police affidavits related to the case have been sealed by the court until Sept. 27, according to a clerk at 8th Circuit Court District Division in Keene.
In February, Baybutt filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, stating he owed between $1 million and $10 million to creditors (filings do not allow for more specific numbers). Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows the debtor to reorganize while being shielded from creditors.
Baybutt Construction was accused not paying subcontractors for projects, including the Keene fire station, the Rockingham Town Library and the state office building in Vermont.
Baybutt Construction Corp., a family-run business, was founded in 1964.
Frederick Baybutt was arraigned in 8th Circuit Court District Division in Keene on Friday morning and ordered held on $10,000 cash bail.

The 10 Biggest TV News Stories of 2013
How to describe a year in which TV news had more turnovers than Pepperidge Farm? Business as usual.
The dramatic departures and arrivals of A-List talent weren't the only big story of 2013, of course. Two new networks launched. Fox News made some major changes in its prime-time lineup. Serious health issues affected at least three anchors. And CBS's venerable 'Sunday Morning' continued to kick ass on the Sabbath.
Herewith my choices for TV news' Top 10, in no particular order:
Open mouth, insert foot.
Hosts Martin Bashir and Alec Baldwin both left MSNBC after making what could charitably be called offensive comments.
On his November 15 broadcast, Bashir suggested that someone should defecate in the mouth of ex-vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin because of remarks she had made about slavery. Instead, it was Bashir who was forced to eat doo-doo. He resigned Dec. 4.
Actor-activist Baldwin hit the bricks Nov. 26, two weeks after he was caught on video calling a paparazzi a 'cocksucking fag.' His weekly show, 'Up Late,' lasted exactly five episodes. Maybe replacing 'Lockup' was bad karma.
Lara's theme.
Ace '60 Minutes' correspondent Lara Logan was forced to take a leave of absence after her October 27 piece on the Benghazi attack was discredited. Politico says she'll return early next month. CBS isn't talking.
A CBS internal inquiry labeled Logan's report 'deficient in several respects.' Among them: Over a full year's reporting, she and her team somehow missed the fact that her major source, security contractor Dylan Davies, was a liar. Oops.
In a dubious distinction, Logan's story led to '60' winning Poynter's Error of the Year award. If you call that winning.
A pair of newbies.
While other networks endured layoffs, two new cable channels debuted — Al Jazeera America on August 20 and Fusion on October 28.
AJA hired hundreds of journalists and staff – including many from U.S. networks. Among them: CNN chief business correspondent Ali Velshi, its first big-name hire; CNN International's Joie Chen; MSNBC exile David Shuster and NBC's John Seigenthaler.
AJA, whose corporate parent is based in Qatar, boasts 12 domestic bureaus and three broadcast centers. It reaches about 48 million homes.
Fusion, a joint production of Disney-ABC and Univision, features news and pop-culture fare targeted at English-speaking millenials. Based outside of Miami, it represents Univision's first major foray into English-language programming.
Would you like your anchors scrambled or poached?

Demons are generally creatures of evil, usually from Hell, who are often totally untrustworthy even when they're not murdering everyone and destroying everything in their path.
Destructible cover is an increasingly popular feature in shooters, even those without cover systems. It is used to encourage creative tactics both in single-player and multiplayer.
A destructible environment means the player has the ability to destroy his/her surroundings. This allows players to use the environment to their advantage.
Sometimes you want a challenge, sometimes you wanna coast.
Voice actors don't always get an NPC to represent them. Sometimes voices have no visible speaker.
A dog is an animal, of which there are estimated to be 400 million of in the world. Said to be man's best friend, they naturally appear in many video games.
Dolby Digital is an audio compression technology codec first used in movie theaters. It's now commonly used in many modern day audio/video media formats, including video games.
Downloadable Content adds new features and content to already-distributed video games via the Internet. Examples include new maps for FPS games, new songs for rhythm games, and new cars for racing games.
The 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on June 15-17.
Elves are a race found in a lot of games based on a fantasy setting. They are recognizable by their elongated ears and often live much longer than humans. Some are even immortal. There are many variations of Elves.
Hostile marksmen who shoot people from a concealed place. Tactics and quick reflexes are often necessary in order to defeat them.
A puzzle where you have to use your surroundings, i.e. "environment" in order to progress.
Because a static main menu is boring; A main menu background that changes scenery when you do!
An environmental hazard that can be exploited to inflict massive areal damage, exploding barrels are one of the most ubiquitous objects to be found in games. The most common methods of ignition include shooting and throwing. Exploding barrels are usually distinguished from the non-exploding kind by a conspicuous red tint.
Concept where everything you need isn't always spelled out for you on the map. Sometimes even the map is not there till you go explore it.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
Extreme violence pertains to excessive amounts of blood, gore, or violent acts. These include decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, amputation, defenestration, disembowelment, torture and much more. Chainsaws usually produce the best excessive violence, while guns simply provide more blood spray.
A tattoo that is on a person's face. They are said to make one look more bad-ass and cool.
This concept is for games where the main playable character is female.
The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
Finishing moves are typically moves that end a fight in a traditional fighting game.
In games, fire can be an obstacle, a tool, a weapon, or a solution. Just don't play with it...unless you really want to.
A biological entity with the innate ability to control the behavior and movement of fire. This is often connected with the ability to biologically or magically create fire.
A concept found in numerous video games, the idea that a weapon on fire is more powerful or does special "burn" damage when set on fire. Most commonly found with swords, several other weapons have been known to be set on fire for a similar effect.
When the player, compared to the adversary he/she is supposed to defeat, looks like a tiny inchworm.
A characteristic many game characters share when their eyes emit a colored light instead of what a regular eye should look like. This is often evident in robots and characters possessed by some evil force.
A term previously used to refer to RPGs that focus more on the action, today it more often refers to action games which focus on hack & slash gameplay.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
Most modern shooting games add the realistic touch of rendering shots to the cranium instantly fatal. Glorious for the shooter, kind of a bummer to the shootee.

If you have a question, it's probably answered below. If you don't find your answer, give us a call at (858) 679-1200 or send us an email.
Because we only use the highest quality products, equipment and inks you will find our work to be of the highest caliber. We print your picture using Epson's newest K3 inks on 100% acid-free archival quality canvas. Our canvas is manufactured by Breathing Color and will last for decades. Our canvas is protected with a topcoat to protect your treasure and offers increased water-resistance and light fastness (resistance to fading).
Stretched means that the printed canvas photo is stretched over wooden framer bars and is meant to be mounted in an outside frame of your choice. Gallery wrapped means that the printing on the canvas extends around the sides of the stretcher bars. This means you can hang the print as is without the need for an outside frame.
If you are experiencing difficulties uploading your image please try the following:
Yes we can. We offer everything from touch ups, object removal, and even photo restoration. When creating your print, you will be given a number of enhancement options before completing your purchase. You can choose any of these and our team of expert designers will make sure your photo looks beautiful before printing.
For all images provided, the following content is not permitted:
Electronic proofs are available for an additional $10 each product.
Sometimes you really want to see it before it goes to print. No problem. We will supply you with an electronic rendition of your final product. Please allow 1-3 days for this process. Once you approve the proof, we will send it to print. If you're just not sure how to size your image, please see our guidelines.
There are limitations on how much a photo can be enlarged before the quality becomes unacceptable. We let you know the quality of your print using our 'Print Quality Meter' during the print build process. If you aren't sure if any image will work at a specific size, upload it and try it out. Our builder will tell you if its too small.
JPG format using the standard sRGB color profile are best. If you don't know how to check your color profile, don't worry. Most images are defaulted to sRGB unless manually changed in Adobe Photoshop or other similar photo editing program.
Because of copyright laws you need to make sure you have exclusive rights to the photo(s) or have obtained a release from the photographer or studio that originally took the picture. Per our terms & conditions, all purchases agree that they have permission to print the image they upload.

Not exactly but very close. Computer/Phone/Tablet monitors display colors differently than how a photo is printed, so there are always marginal variances in color tone & saturation. Our expert team of designers and print technicians works closely with each and every print to ensure it looks as amazing as beautiful as possible.
If we are concerned you won't like your print, we'll reach out to you and let you know our suggestions to fix it. We don't like to manipulate your photo too much without your permission.
To keep your canvas photo looking it's best, carefully vacuum with a curtain nozzle to remove dust, or wipe with a lightly damp cloth. Do not rub too hard as the inks will scratch or come off if they are abused.
Most other products can be cleaned with a damp wash cloth. See your specific products detail page for any special cleaning instructions.
We are sorry to hear that. Though we protect our each print as carefully as possible for shipping, damage does occur at times during transit.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
DULUTH - Shirley Lasseter began her State of the City address on Tuesday with a videotaped look back at Duluth.It showed one young woman who remembered riding her horse to the dentist, and Randy Belcher, a city policeman, reminiscing about getting a patrol car. "My first incident was chasing a car full of kids," Belcher, now the city's police chief, recalled of the event that occurred 30 years ago. Later, Lasseter, the town's mayor and enthusiastic cheerleader, wound up her State of the City address by accepting accolades from the designers of Duluth's new public safety building. The announcement that the facility had been named the "Best Public Project for the Southeast Region" and the "Design Built Project of the Year for the Southeast" was topped off with a copy of an article about the new building recently published in "Courts Today Magazine." Lasseter also holds high hopes for the new City Hall to be completed by December and for the expected commercial growth on the city's outskirts, particularly at the renovated Pleasant Hill Road and Buford Highway Intersection. The luncheon gathering of public officials, community workers and business notables was held at the new police headquarters on Buford Highway and Davenport Road. The Duluth Civitan Club has been a main sponsor every year. Lasseter recognized the special work of the police department, highlighted by safety programs at school bus stops, protection of homes while residents are away and mounted horse patrol units. The riding police officers help with crowd control and patrol neighborhoods, shopping centers and park trails. "They have received state certification and are gearing up for spring and our series of concerts," Lasseter said. "Though the police department may be the most visible, the remaining departments are also committed to serving you efficiently." In Lasseter's view, the involvement of residents has been a key to Duluth's growth. The sleepy town's spread has put a new face on the area that includes the Gwinnett Place Mall and the section of Sugarloaf Parkway that is now home to the Gwinnett arena, civic center and performing arts complex. "But we all come together to make successful opportunities happen," Lasseter said. "We have tried to encourage our citizens to be active in the community." The City Council regularly invites neighborhood groups, civic associations and Boy Scouts to attend the meetings and often honors the accomplishments of teachers, coaches and students. In 2006, the city began a series of Town Hall meetings to apprise residents of happenings and to present them with an opportunity to be involved and heard. In other community work, the organization VolleyFest has raised $600,000 in supporting breast cancer care and prevention. The group now has nine venues for grass-roots tennis and golf tournaments from which the proceeds benefit the Gwinnett Hospital System's Foundation, the "Time Matters Campaign" and mobile mammography, officials said. The Foster Children's Foundation raises funds through its Olympix day, a fun-filled event for young people. Also, the Rotary Club is sponsoring the building of a Habit for Humanity House on South Street. As diversity increases, Duluth welcomes neighbors from many different cultures, Lasseter said. The Super H Mart on Pleasant Hill Road was Duluth's first Asian-themed development. The city later will see a similar development from the Super Pearl shopping area on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard as well as a hotel project with golf facilities on North Berkeley Lake Road, the mayor said. The good news for Duluth is that the city has received more than $5 million in roadway grants to improve traffic flow round the downtown area. The targeted roadways are Ga. Highway 120, Ridgeway Drive, a new extension of Ridgeway/West Lawrenceville to Ga. 120 and an extension of Hill Street to intersect with Buford Highway at Davenport Road. But the mayor said she believes the greatest addition to Duluth in 2006, for the "health and welfare" of its residents, is the Gwinnett Medical Center-Duluth that opened Oct. 18. By Dec. 31, the hospital had reported almost 6,000 visits. Officials also believe in having a beautiful downtown area, Lasseter said. To meet that goal, the city has installed new sidewalks, landscaping, lighting fixtures and benches. This year's creation of a monthly calendar and the production of a Christmas ornament depicting historic city buildings for the second year, carries on "the tradition of a beautiful Duluth," she said.
