A veteran of the media and advertising industry, with a background that includes agency, global branding and publisher roles, Matts joins Annalect from Glam Media, where she served as SVP, Chief Digital Marketing officer. Her previous experience includes a stint at Anheuser-Busch InBev as Global Director Digital Connections, tasked with elevating the brewer's consumer position and engagement on all digital platforms; and an earlier tour of duty with Omnicom Media Group, where as Chief Digital Officer for OMD she played a critical role in establishing the agency as an industry leader in emerging media platforms.
"In a complex category, the competitive advantage belongs to those who can replace chaos with clarity – a skill in which Erin Matts is singularly adept," says Annalect CEO Scott Hagedorn. "As someone who has helped top global brands navigate and leverage new marketing technologies, she's ideally suited to the task of defining and driving both the Annalect and the broader Big Data value propositions."Matts joins a roster that includes more than 400 digital and analytic professionals worldwide, charged with leveraging consumer insights and media data to increase the efficiency and impact of marketers' media investments. Commenting on her new role, Matts says, "Today there are no two words that can inspire more excitement – or more panic – in our industry than 'big data.' With the explosion in accessible data leaving marketers teetering on the edge between promise and paralysis, my remit as CMO is clear: prove that Annalect's combination of solutions and services is the tipping point that will put them solidly in the promise zone of increased revenue, customer retention and enhanced media ROI."

If your question is about the cost of a procedure, click here. For referral to a qualified surgeon in your area, see find a surgeon.

Sorry we can't answer all questions. We try to select questions that have the widest general interest.
How can I achieve a natural look from a breast revision?
I had saline breast implants with a lift for 14 years and then I had them removed. They were under the muscle. I am considering having implants put back in. I do not have any breast tissue. I know they cannot go below the muscle because I had them there before and they were removed 5 yrs ago. How can I achieve a natural look without seeing ripples due to no tissue at all?
It may be possible to replace implants under the muscle for a more natural look, but that would depend on your specific situation. Silicone gel implants may feel more natural than saline, and choosing the right size based on your anatomy will make a big difference too. Sometimes the result can be improved with fat grafting for more coverage.
If you had your breast implants removed, then the pockets have healed. Women with very little breast tissue can have surprisingly natural looking and feeling breast implants. The key is to be certain the correct implant is used and that the breast implant is placed in the proper position. Start by looking at the before and after breast implant images on the websites of different plastic surgeons. Look for women with starting points that look like you, and results that look like what you are hoping to achieve.
Thank you for your question. It may still be possible to place her implants beneath the muscle and if they have not retracted following removal of year-old implants. Be sure to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
Generally speaking Smaller implants in the 200-250 cc range, silicone gel implants, and moderate profile plus implants tend to be more natural looking than very large implants, and shaped her high profile breast implants.

patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, May 03, 2010, 22:50Master
It sounds like the heater control valve is not functioning correctly if you get hot air coming out the cooling ducts on the dash no mater what position the heat/cold switch is in. The engine will generate a lot of heat when it is running, it is a normal part of operation of an internal combustion engine.

My truck does the same, how do I fix this on my own?
Answer #2Visitor, May 04, 2010, 11:40
Not sure about vw's but gm cars do that all the time, its a fresh air feature should cool a little by turning the temp control to cool but will always blow air even if heat and ac are turned off

Indian regulatory authorities cleared a joint venture between Japanese forwarder Kintetsu World Express and domestic logistics group Gati Ltd. The companies had announced the joint venture, named Gati-Kintetsu Express Pvt. Ltd., in February.
Gati has a 70 percent stake in the new company with KWE holding the remainder. KWE has invested approximately $50 million in the venture, which would take over Gati's "express distribution and supply chain" business as part of the deal.
The partnership is expected to offer customers a variety of services, including ocean, air and rail-road transport, supplemented by logistics and warehousing support.
"Gati-KWE brings together the strengths of Gati's local expertise in express distribution and KWE's global experience in 3PL warehousing, supply chain and freight forwarding capabilities, creating an unmatched offering and superior value to customers," a joint statement said.
KWE India, which has been operating since 1997, has nine office locations in the country with some 200 employees.
Established in 1989, Hyderabad-based Gati operates a fleet of more than 4,000 trucks and three container vessels for coastal shipping. The group has also set up offices in Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Middle East in a bid to accelerate operations in international markets.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission should implement a 30-day comment period on a plan by CME Group (CME:US) Inc. to expand trading hours for grain contracts, said Bart Chilton, one of five CFTC commissioners.
"It makes a lot of sense to hear from market participants, farmers and the public about this one," Chilton said today by telephone. "We would be better off having an expanded view before a final determination is made."
CME Group, the owner of the largest U.S. grain market, plans to expand trading to 22 hours a day from 17 hours starting on May 21, after IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE:US) starts offering grain and oilseed contracts on May 14. The National Grain and Feed Association and the North American Export Grain Association, the largest U.S. grain-trading groups, yesterday urged the CFTC to delay the trading expansion and urged the regulator to implement the 30-day comment period.
The exchanges provided "inadequate advance consideration" of their plan to expand trading, the groups said. The impact of the longer trading day on market participants justifies intervention by U.S. regulators in delaying the change, they said.

Early offense, strong pitching lift Post 87
The Post 87 HiToms have shown they can win however they need to.
After winning 10-8 on Friday, the HiToms scored three runs – two on Evan Edwards' single – in the first inning and pitcher Bryce Lance rolled through nine innings in winning 3-0 on Saturday at Finch Field to lead the Area III championship series 2-0.
"Bryce was absolutely outstanding," High Point coach Rob Shore said. "He had nine strikeouts his last performance but threw a lot of pitches, struggled with his control. But tonight he was absolutely on.
"He threw 89 pitches in nine innings, gave up six hits – that's everything we'd ever want a pitcher to do. That was what we needed, because last night they pounded out 16 hits and scored eight runs. So, we had to use some pitching. Tonight was absolutely outstanding by Bryce."
Lance scattered six hits and walked none while striking out eight in the win. His toughest spots were in the first, with two on and two out, and in the third, with two on and one out. But he escaped unharmed and otherwise cruised.
Behind him, the defense did not make an error, made two double plays – turning a smooth 6-4-3 double-play in the fourth – and Greg White made a nice diving catch in right field in the ninth.
"As far as the defense goes, we made all the big plays and my pitching was on tonight," Lance said. "My fastball felt really good. It was tailing away, and the guys couldn't keep up with it. And my curveball had a sharp break. That's really all I used all night. ...
"I kind of got in a zone, and I just felt like it was easy."
White led off the first with a single, then Colin Rosenbaum doubled, and Zach McLean was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out. Cesar Trejo then roped a single to score a run and, two batters later, Edwards ripped a two-out single to left-center to score two more.
That was pretty much it offensively, as not a single runner reach third after the first inning. The game was over in less than two hours. Dakota Devine, who allowed five hits and six walks while striking out five, took the loss for Winston-Salem, as Tanner Lomax had two hits.
"One thing I always remind my guys," Shore said, "because we'd struggle in the first couple innings, is: 'Guys, you can win the game in the first inning. It doesn't always come down to your last at-bat. Sometimes it does. But if you score some runs, you can win it in the first inning.'
"That's exactly what it was tonight. We were patient for one inning, and it paid off. The rest of the night, we were out front. I talked to the guys several times about staying back and trying to hit it the other way, and they couldn't do it. Kudos to their pitcher because he had us off-balance."
The best-of-five series continues Sunday at 7 p.m. at Rich Park in Mocksville.

4 Ways to Add Diversity to Your Intern Pool
By Ashley Mosley
SAN FRANCISCO (TheStreet) -- Internship programs are always evolving. Especially with the slew of controversies many programs have faced recently, you may be looking to reevaluate your goals and priorities to avoid similar issues.
One area many internship employers hope for is diversity. In fact, according to research conducted by my company, InternMatch, 81% of companies say diversity is a goal for their organization. It's easy to see why: Diversity, both in terms of background and educational experience, can help to create stronger ideas, offer varying perspectives and secure a multitude of skill sets.
But how you can incorporate diversity into your internship program? Here are four strategies to consider:
Participate in a diversity career fair.A diversity career fair is a great place to find a wide range of candidates for your internship program. No matter if the diversity career fair is hosted by a university or a diversity-focused organization, it's important to attend in order to find diverse candidates. These recruiting events, which can either be in-person or virtual, can turn around your diversity initiatives and bring you closer to a more well-rounded team. Try this: Partner with a university or organization to get a diversity career fair started. This will help you to get the ball rolling with your diversity initiatives, while working with institutions that may have a lot of influence. Hackathons are essentially contests, primarily in the tech field, that allow you to see students and young professionals pitch, program and present a certain idea or solution to a problem. This allows you to see how a wide range of people would solve an issue over a set time. Organizations such as Microsoft participate in hackathons, which ensures they are first in line for top talent. Try this: Attend hackathons with a few goals in mind. Consider the criteria your ideal candidate should have, such as the diversity of their background, to help you to spot key players. Go international. Not finding the people you're looking for? You may want to consider looking abroad for more diverse internship candidates. Since international interns are from a different country, they have a diverse background of education, skills and personal experiences. You may also have international clients or projects your international interns could prove an asset for. Try this: While going the international route may sound intimidating, check out these great resources to gain insight about hiring abroad. Research indicates this group is mostly African-American and Latino students, who are the highest percentage of college students that leave school with loan debt. By offering unpaid internships, you effectively single out many young professionals who don't see your program as a viable opportunity. Try this: If you can't afford to pay your interns at least federal minimum wage, think about offering other forms of compensation, such as stipends, professional development opportunities or even health benefits. This will make your program more attractive to those diverse candidates who desire competitive compensation. Diversity is a strong element in any successful internship program, which of course translates into better hires and awesome teams. In the end, diverse interns can create a great backbone for your team, which shapes innovation, ideas and pushes your organization into a successful future. What do you think about diversity internship initiatives? Do you have diverse interns on your team? Ashley Mosley is Community Engagement Manager of InternMatch, an online platform connecting the best intern candidates and employers.

While consumers in the city await the new tariff announcement, they will have to pay more for power for the next three months as the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission has approved a surcharge hike of 3 per cent in the TPDDL areas and 4.5 per cent in the BSES areas starting May 1 on account of a purchase cost adjustment (PPAC) for the quarter May-July.
Announcing the tariff plan in 2012, the DERC has allowed the dicoms to recover dues from consumers on a quarterly basis in the form of PPAC.
On Friday, the Commission announced that the consumers will now have to pay more for the next three months. "On the basis of the information submitted by the discoms and also considering the fact that, power from low cost stations has been regulated in case of BRPL and BYPL, the Commission approves the following power purchase cost adjustment surcharge on a provisional basis for the period May 1 to July 31, 2013 or till further orders," the Commission said.
This revised surcharge will be applicable on the pro-rata consumption with effect from May 1 and on the basis of the energy consumed.
"The consumption will be determined on a pro-rata basis if meter reading includes the consumption of the period before May 1 or after July 31," it has clarified.
Consumers were being charged a PPAC surcharge of 3 per cent in BYPL and BRPL areas and 1.5 per cent in the TPDDL areas from February 1 to April 30, 2013.
"The percentage increase on account of PPAC will be applied as a surcharge on the total energy and fixed charges and the bill format will have to identify the PPAC percentage and amount of PPAC surcharge billed as separate entities. The distribution licensee will levy PPAC after considering rebate on energy charges, if any, available to the consumer," the Commission said.
Discoms cannot levy PPAC surcharge on the eight per cent surcharge that is currently applicable on the monthly charges.
In their petitions for PPAC revisions, the discoms BYPL and BRPL had sought an increase of 9.13 and 9.2 per cent respectively while TPDDL had sought an increase of 1.71 per cent.
"The BRPL and BYPL had also sought recovery of the balance claim of PPA of 19.5 per cent and 12.43 per cent against quarter 2 and 3 and TPDDL had sought a balance recovery of 12.47 per cent against quarters 2 to 4," the Commission said. But the Commission decided not to consider the supplementary bills and those related to past arrears.

Sunderland schools term dates
UPDATE July 2014:
Information from the Department of Education about not allowing holidays in term time.
Amendments to school attendance regulations coming into force 1st September 2013:
Amendments to the 2006 regulations remove references to family holiday and extended leave as well as the statutory threshold of ten school days. The amendments make clear that headteachers may not grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. Headteachers should determine the number of school days a child can be away from school if the leave is granted.
We are informing parents of this change, which I have earlier said was expected, so that families can plan ahead to take holidays only in school holiday weeks.
This agreed form: Authorised Absence Request Form can be viewed HERE.
Click HERE to see the Sunderland Schools term dates from September 2014 to August 2015.
with SEABURN DENE INSET days to be added.
For parents' information, here is information about school holiday dates from September 2015.
Please click HERE to view the theschool term dates for 2015/2016. The additional closures for INSET days haven't yet been set so they will be to follow at a later date.

HP Pavilion DV5-1002NR wont start up...[ Edited ]
07-01-2011 04:38 PM - edited 07-04-2011 06:58 PM
Recently while playing Team Fortress 2, my laptop shut itself off ( as a safety precaution- i guess CPU was too hot?)
and i waited a while to turn it back on... and it does not turn on. The only thing that flashes (while running on battery)
is the lightning bolt LED, that flashes 3 times each time i press the power button.
Something stranger is that my laptop is also not accepting an A/C Charge (I.e the LED isnt lit when A/C is plugged in)
My fear is that i bricked the machine, which is unfortunate since i have alot of pictures on the hard drive, as well as some of
my important projects for school...
Any help would be nice...
Is it strange to have DV5-1002NR in the States? since NR seems like a code for the Netherlands
extra info: Laptop is almost 3 years since i bought it, and recently replaced screen , as well as fixed a fuzzy screen graphics issue.
HARD RESET does not do anything...
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: HP Pavilion DV5-1002NR wont start up...
I don't know if this will solve your problem but I once had a laptop that did the same thing. I tried everything to get it to turn on. Then I removed the battery and it booted right up. I hope this works for you.
Re: HP Pavilion DV5-1002NR wont start up...
unfortunately, im still on the same boat, but with a bigger hole in it... My Laptop wont even accept an A/C Charge let alone boot up... the thing is though, i cant tell if its still saveable or did it brick itself?

Try a new AC adapter. If there's no light when it's plugged in then it's not getting power (that's why the lights flashed - the battery is dead). If a new power adapter doesn't work then there's an issue with the power jack or system board.
Re: HP Pavilion DV5-1002NR wont start up...
My DV5-1002nr had a similar problem. I put it into sleep mode by closing the lid, and the next day all I got was a blank screen at startup. It turns out that there is some problem with the RAM socket. When I unplug the top RAM stick, the machine works fine. I swapped sticks, but same result, and either stick will work as long as the top slot is empty. I am on this forum trying to find an HP phone number to call to have the PC fixed.
Re: HP Pavilion DV5-1002NR wont start up...
I actually tried that with my sisters AC adapter, but might also try to use the battery out of her laptop, as it is of the same family and the batteries are switchable... My battery is dead, and i think the event shorted out my AC adapter ... i know this because i used my sisters battery and it came back to life... although i think the power system on my laptop may be fried... Kudos to you, mate
Re: HP Pavilion DV5-1002NR wont start up...
I hade the same problem. After doing a sleep shut down it would not come up. Removing and reinstalling the battery corrected the malfunction.

I've been reading through the slow logons threads. I'm getting the same problem but at certain times of the day. When the changeover to the second period is one.
It's taking students 10 to 20 minutes to log on whens this is happening. Any server with ranger installed hits 100% cpu uasges ans stays there. I've moved ranger onto its own server. Applied the settings suggested for Sophos. Installed SP2 on to the servers. but it won't go away. The hardware in the servers is up to the job.
Anyone any ideas?

Previously I posted about my metro
Arms American commanders failure to feed/failure to eject thought it was the feed lip switched mags the problem went away for a bit but then returned and started happening every other round not every other clip. So today fed up with the problem and willing to do whatever it takes to fix this issue as long as it didn't cost to much I bought a cheap 1911 on purpose lol. Anyways took it to a local gun smith and him being the nice guy he is let me help we replaced the main spring firing pin spring and recoil spring with a 22 pound spring we then put 500 rounds range not one failure to eject or failure to feed just wanted to get that out there. We used a wolf spring kit by the way. Guess metro arms needs to get there **** together :/

Watch where the empty casings fall.
The main spring and the the recoil spring should work together.
Metro Arms (from what I have seen) offer an inexpensive 1911.
To keep costs down, they make do with questionable parts.
I'm glad things worked out. Now, shoot the snot out of it.

I love my 1911. It's a pleasure to shoot but honestly, and this is just my opinion, the design is not perfect. Yes, it feels perfect to shoot but the design is not perfect (nor is any other gun design) because if it were perfect then no 1911 owner would ever have a problem. The fact is that form doesn't always follow function. Charlize Theron may look perfect but, who knows, maybe she farts a lot in bed?
The 1911 requires A LOT more tuning to make it as consistently reliable as an out-of-the-box modern pistol: Glock, Sig Sauer, H&K, Beretta,...
Now complicating matters is that the 1911 patent has expired and now anyone and everyone can fabricate a 1911. The problem, I think, is that every manufacturer makes the 1911 with slight deviations and, as an example, not all 1911 magazines work well with every manufacturer's 1911.
You are deft right I had to find the out the hard way parts and labor only cost me. 45 if fires fine but
Plan to get the feed ramp polished little bit farther down because it doesn't seem like it was polish far enough down from the factory after that I believe that my weapon will be 100% and as good as any high end 1911 with less that 100 dollars to do it
I think after one hundred years of use in 2 world wars and countless battles it is a proven weapon. When the modern FBI HRT Units sent their modern Semiautos back they ordered, yes 1911 pistols. But they are like smooth whisky and good horses some men just keep buying rot gut and betting on old nags.
I hear ya friend hopefully will see good results with my 1911 I'll keep everyone posted
I don't like the way all 1911's are lumped into these problem areas. I don't get to shoot nearly as much as I should or want to, but mine has a little over or around 1k through it with three malfunctions. In the gun's defense, I INTENTIONALLY used some dangerously out of spec reloads just to see what it would take to choke it. I even started a thread on it, look for "I wonder what it would take" in the FTF search.
I think that really the biggest 1911 problem are the questionable makers. Mine isn't some multi thousand dollar custom job either, it's a bone stock springer milspec, $640. My good buddy here on the forum, Mr. Wray has a cheaper Filipino make, a High Standard, and he's had zero malfunctions.
If your gun is built by the lowest bidder, and uses parts made by the lowest bidder, your going to have problems. Do a little research and get one from a reputable maker. High Standard is pretty cheap, and Rock Island is getting a LOT of love from their customers lately, and their most basic guns can be had for sometimes as little as $350 in the best case.
Cheap doesn't have to mean a crappy gun. And crappy guns aren't always cheap. I really like learning all I can about guns, and have been doing so since I was 7, giving me 20 years of reading, but unfortunately due to funding, I don't have nearly as much hands on experience with civilian arms (which I count the 1911 as one, even with it's current uses and military history, because I was issued the Beretta), but even with all the reading I've done, I've never heard of your maker. I don't claim to know everything, not by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know quite a bit (notice I won't even claim to know a lot), but that by itself says something to me.
Best response ive got so far just what I though just like owning a 60s muscle car with a carburetor you gotta tinker with it which I

Top Five Mid-Cap Stocks
On the whole, the containers and packaging industry has performed reasonably well since the U.S. economy emerged from recession in the early part of the decade, but threats to profitability abound, depending on product mix and end-market exposure.
FMC (FMC), a chemical company, has been rated buy since November 2005. The company has a largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels, a solid stock price performance, good cash flow from operations, along with EPS and revenue growth. These strengths are expected to outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity. Third-quarter profit totaled $37.1 million or 48 cents a share, up from $35.1 million, or 44 cents a share, a year ago. Revenue increased nearly 10% over a year ago to $626.6 million.
Investors have apparently begun to recognize FMC's positive factors, as the company's shares are up 62.56% over the past year. The stock's sharp rise has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry, but TheStreet.com Ratings feels that other strengths FMC displays justify these higher price levels. The two most critical factors impacting the financial health of chemical companies are the costs of raw materials (mainly oil and gas) and the overall strength of the economy.
Range Resources (RRC) engages in the exploration, development and acquisition of oil and gas properties primarily in the Southwestern, Appalachian and Gulf Coast regions of the U.S. It has been rated a buy since November 2005. The company's third-quarter earnings climbed 15% on the year to $58.9 million, or 39 cents a share. Excluding items, Range Resources earned $64.4 million, or 42 cents a share. Revenue increased 10% to $242.4 million.Range Resources is expected to continue to benefit from a favorable industry outlook. The company is aggressively pursuing its drilling and acquisition programs even at the cost of raising more debt. However, oil exploration is risky, and the current success rate may not continue. Moreover, oil and gas prices are highly volatile and cyclical in nature, and are already trading at 12-month highs. Any downtrend may affect profitability.

Fla. educators split on changes to school grading standards
A major overhaul of the way schools are graded generated thousands of calls, emails and text messages to lawmakers over the weekend as educators are split on the changes.
How schools are graded has been controversial since the system began more than a decade ago. This year is no different.
"These calculations will focus more closely on student performance," said Rep. Janet Adkins, R-Jacksonville.
The 130-page bill being considered is needed because the state is switching from the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, or FCAT, to yet another to-be-developed test.
Brevard County teacher Patricia Crutcher, a 25-year classroom veteran, drove five hours on spring break to tell lawmakers the current test is making her kids physically ill.
"Another student got so nauseous that I had to get the nurse to take her out of the room," said Crutcher. "A third student got a nosebleed."
Sandra Butler, a teacher from Panama City, went to say the same thing.
"We're all for accountability, but it needs to be the right accountability," said Butler. "They need to go into the classroom and find out exactly what's going on, not the grades because of a one-day test."
The bottom line: For one year, the schools won't be penalized as Florida switches standardized tests.
RELATED: Florida chooses new test to replace FCAT next year
The one-year pass on penalties is what brought the Florida Parent Teacher Association to speak against the bill.
"We just think it's too fast. It's moving too fast," said Kathy Foulk, of Florida PTA.
But school boards say a year is enough time.
"This would allow us at the local level to establish a baseline next year and not be penalized as the grades go up or down," said Wayne Blanton, of the Florida School Boards Association.
While many of the specifics may change as the bill moves on, the one thing it does that won't change is affirm the state's commitment to keep testing children's progress.
The bill has one more committee stop before being heard by the full House.

Today, there are plenty of jobs to be had between Thanksgiving and the middle of January, according to one human resource expert. This is due, in part, to the global talent shortage, which has made it harder for employers to attract top talent.
The conventional job-search wisdom used to be that, if you weren't hired by late October, you were out of luck until after the first of the year.
But times have changed.
Today, there are plenty of jobs to be had between Thanksgiving and the middle of January, according to human resource expert Susan M. Heathfield. "During the holiday season, you enjoy reduced competition for jobs and easier access to decision makers who are actually in the office," says Heathfield.
This is due, in part, to the global talent shortage, which has made it harder for employers to attract top talent. "If good candidates show up during the holiday season, we're finding that management will take the time to see them. In the past, they might have told them to come back in January," says Michael Jalbert, President of executive search firm MRINetwork.
Jalbert gives three reasons not to slack off in your job search during the holidays:
1) Departments are often under pressure to fill openings before year's end to secure their remaining budget and headcount allocations.
2) While the number of advertised positions tends to decrease during the holidays, those that do appear are often high-priority jobs that must be filled quickly.
3) You will likely face less competition because many other job seekers have taken a break from their search.
With this in mind, here are two ways to connect with your next job during the holiday season ...
1) Party with a Plan
There are more parties and social events during the holidays than usual, which means more opportunities for you to make new contacts and renew old ones.
Since you never know which conversation will produce your next job lead, you should attend as many events as you can reasonably fit into your calendar, according to Heathfield.
"You don't want to be obnoxious about your job search and aggravate friends and relatives. But, do prepare a brief statement that tells people you are looking for a job and the kind of job you seek," suggests Heathfield.
Carry business cards, along with paper and a pen for taking notes. After every networking conversation, jot down the key points, then enter them into some kind of database at the end of the evening, for follow-up later. Whether it's a box of 3x5 cards or a $500 PDA, use whatever tools you need to manage your networking contacts.
2) Send a Card with a Difference
We all get greeting cards in December. For most of us, the charm wears off after about the first 20 or so. That means, if you hope to stand out by sending a holiday card to hiring managers and other folks who are inundated with mail, you probably won't.
So, why not send a Happy New Year's card instead? After all, when's the last time you got one of those in the mail?
Send your new year's cards on December 31, to arrive on or about January 2. Send them to hiring managers and well-connected friends. And use real cards, like those sold at www.Hallmark.com, with real stamps. Because emailing a greeting card is about as effective as emailing a steak sandwich.
One final bit of encouragement for job seekers: some industry sectors could see an up-tick in hiring in December, according to Jalbert. "Construction companies in Southern California, for example, are just starting to staff up to rebuild the $1.5 billion in homes that were destroyed in this summer's fires," he says.
Jalbert also sees strong demand for such fields as chemical and mechanical engineering, and information technology, as the U.S. dollar continues to drop, causing jobs from Europe and Canada to filter into the United States.

- (04-07-14) The ITTF and the ETTU have announced their intention to introduce the new so-called plastic ball which will replace the celluloid ball this summer. Table Tennis England has issued a statement that it intends to use the plastic ball at National Championships and Grand Prix events for the forthcoming season. It has asked leagues and other bodies, such as the VETTS, to implement the change no later than July 2015. http://tabletennisengland.co.uk/news/plastic-ball-table-tennis-england-statement/
As a result of this information and other concerns, such as stocks of supply and possible shortages of the new balls, the VETTS will continue to use the celluloid ball for its Masters events for the forthcoming season. The new ball will be introduced at the July Hinckley ratings tournament 2015 and thereafter used for subsequent VETTS events.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey promise hair drama tonight
By April MacIntyre May 26, 2009, 17:39 GMT
A couple of classic Jersey Girls...Joan Cusack and Melanie Griffith from "Working Girls"...
Bravo has sent along teasers for tonight's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey."
According to Bravo, this week the parental control continues -- Caroline pushes her daughter Lauren to enroll in cosmetology school, but Lauren only wants to learn how to apply makeup and do hair...not how to wax people's moneymakers.
Danielle continues to be open about her 26-year-old boyfriend, claiming that rock-climbing is what helped her snag a younger man.
And Teresa takes her daughter Gia to NYC to meet with a renowned modeling agency, but they get lost on the way. Will they make it on time?
Watch what happens tonight, Tuesday, May 26th @ 10/9c on Bravo:
Whether You Like It or Not

TWO LEADING REGULATORS will face MPs today to discuss the FRC's slow progress in implementing recommendations on going concern, alongside wider corporate governance issues.
As previously revealed by Accountancy Age, Sir Win Bischoff and Stephen Haddrill, the watchdog's chairman and chief executive, will face the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee at 3.30pm today to answer questions over controversial proposals on going concern.
Further reading
A third consultation into the regulator's interpretation of the Sharman Review findings closed last month. Investors subsequently described the plans as "damaging to the public.
If the current plans are accepted, changes to going concern will go live in October this year, along with amendments to remuneration policy in the latest UK Corporate Governance Code update.
In January, David Pitt-Watson, a key member of the Sharman inquiry, warned the FRC was in danger of departing from some of the panel's original recommendations.
In an email sent to investors and institutional representatives seen by Accountancy Age, Pitt-Watson urged them to take part in the consultation after the definition of going concern had drifted from its common sense meaning to one that only applies to its technical use.

In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

Honest opinions needed - page 3
Hello! I am new here and I'm hoping a nurse here will be able to help me out. Some of the questions I have are not that I am considering nursing solely for the money or that at other times I am belittling the profession. When... Read More
- 1May 15, '11 by PinaColadaIf I could do it all over again I would have gone for pharmacy in a heartbeat. It'd be a mistake to leave it.
- 0May 16, '11 by JulieCVICURN. To go through med school, all it takes is to be prepared for the workload and a good memory at the time of exams. They are not any brighter than say, engineers who are solving very complex problems and sending robots into other planets using Newtonian and Einstein's equations. I respect this kind of work. Physicians are not God, and many of them are down right ignorant. I thought about becoming a physician because it is the first thing one tends to think about when a family member succumbs to an illness. But being around that kind of inflated egos is not for me.
- 0May 16, '11 by lckrn2paOk I know this is a nursing forum so forgive the invitation to the dark side but you think about PA school? There are 2 girls in my class that were pre-pharm type undergrads but decided against it and applied/started PA school. Just another option the think of. Decent pay, new grads around 80k, no cleaning pts EVER! (after 19 yrs of wading thru GI bleeds I can say that lol), mentally stressful but not as physically demanding as nursing. Just an idea.
- 0May 16, '11 by NurseLoveJoy88Please, please, I beg you to stick with engineering.Good luck !
- 0May 16, '11 by CareRxQuote from JulieCVICURNI was not talking about the vast majority. I did say many of them. And, pre-meds circles are worse. Anyways, the purpose of this thread was to look for a solid career choice based on sound advice. I am probably going to stay in pharmacy, or do the engineering, and have nursing as a fall back career based on my needs. I will continue to browse these forums to learn more about your experiences in the field of nursing.Consider that only you can decide whether or not to have an inflated ego and belittle nurses, that the vast majority of doctors I've worked with are not the sort you describe, and that they do work that is much more in line with your sensibilities than nursing. I do not think physicians are smarter than nurses in most cases, but it is a different kind of work.
- 0May 16, '11 by PinaColadaYep. All my engineer friends aren't harping the same tunes that unemployed nurses are.

Please welcome my guest blogger today, the author F.T. Bradley who has great advice on how to get kids reading. At the end of the post, she is also hosting a GIVEAWAY with signed copies of her three spy chapter books!

Writing Hi Lo Fiction and Books for Boys
Please welcome my guest blogger, Jim Westcott, an author who writes Hi Lo fiction books for boys.
My fifteen years as a Special Education Teacher influenced what I write and for what audience. I write these kinds of books for these two audiences:
- Hi Interest-Low Vocabulary Books for struggling readers, especially books for boys between 8 and 12
- High Interest Books for Boys that don't struggle, but fall into what is known as the Reluctant category
I try my best to have a style that is fast and funny and contains some male-introspection. I should probably mention that my writing doesn't contain much farting and burping. Read more…
Get Kids Reading Strategies: 12 Surefire Ways
I searched five years of digital photographs looking for photos of my kids reading and I only came up with the handful here. Why? It's not easy getting kids reading, especially to love reading enough that they choose it over more exciting things like screens, playdates or sports!
I started my blog after my oldest had a bad year in first grade. She was a reluctant reader who hated the performance aspect of reading out loud. My second child who is academic preferred less "sitty" past times than reading. She never stops moving so it's hard to pin her down to read. My son much prefers screens to anything else in life so it's a challenge to get him to exchange a book for a screen.
Over the years, I have tried EVERYTHING to get my kids to love reading. And that might be the key to eventual success. There is no magic bullet but effort counts. And now, I'm happy to report that my oldest (Grasshopper and Sensei), now in 8th grade, is a voracious reader. By 3rd grade we had turned the corner enough so that she started posting on her favorite chapter books. Read more…

Ninjago on YouTube Lego Channel!
Lego YouTube Channel
I just found out that Lego has a new YouTube channel and the first thing I saw was NINJAGO! My son had a Lego Ninjago obsession last year. My husband I welcomed it though it took me a while to figure out what exactly Ninjago was. Ninjago, as it turns out, is many things:
- Ninjago animated TV show series
- Ninjago chapter book series
- Ninjago graphic novel series
- Ninjago lego games
- Ninjago lego kits
- Ninjago branded items. We own the lunch box!
I quickly became an expert in all things Ninjago. We bought the lego kits after he received the first lego Ninjago game for his birthday. I was thrilled that he would play with legos instead of screens. Pretty soon, I was finding and saving little tiny plastic swords that popped up in various odd places. The floor of my car. The kitchen table. In my bed. Read more…
7 Fun, Easy and FREE Ideas to Get Kids Reading
Get Kids Reading with 7 Easy and Fun Ideas
If your New Year's resolution is to get your kids reading more (mine is for myself too!), then I've assembled some free, easy and fun out-of-the-box ideas to get kids reading whether they are new to independent reading or reluctant readers.
I also like that these ideas are hands on and unexpected. A full body experience. It's meant to make kids sit up and take notice. And then hopefully, this giddy feeling will become associated with reading and reading will be associated with a pleasant experience. How about you? Please share your ideas of how you get your kids reading! Thank you!
1) Hold a BOOK TASTING in the library! Book speed dating for the younger set.
I found this idea on Pinterest from the Barrow Media Center. Get a group of kids together and hold a "book tasting." Select a books to be sampled and provide a menu sheet and pens or pencils. Each kid reads each book for 2-3 minutes and marks the menu sheet of each book with happy face, prozac face, or frowny face. It's a fun way to have kids try out new genres of books.
Another idea to figure out what books to supply is to ask each child for 2 or 3 of their favorite books and draw from those. Then, at the end of the book tasting, kids who chose a book that was recommended by a friend can get encouragement to read their book choice. I always find that peer-to-peer recommendations are the most persuasive! Read more…

Graphic Novels from A to Z
Many teachers are turning to comic books as a tool to develop reading skills as well as a deeper love for reading.
This final collection has some Young Adult (YA) graphic novels that are not Manga (I didn't cover Manga simply because I haven't read any. My son is not old enough yet). From gritty to fantasy, YA graphic novels cover the gamut.

Graphic Novels Get Kids Reading!
Graphic novels are great to kids to realize that reading is fun. While most graphic novels seem geared for boys, I've found a few great ones for girls. Check out the trailer at the bottom for Smile, our very favorite graphic novel for girls!

First launched in Dallas, TX in the 1970's, the Cattle Baron's Ball is the single largest fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. In 2014, the 2nd Annual Cattle Baron's Ball committee of volunteers will strive to make this the premiere social event in the St. Louis area. It is an evening of gaming, auctions, dancing, entertainment and dining. All held in a magnificent state of the art location, where the gentlemen wear jeans and the ladies dress as fancy or as casual as they wish ... western chic, buckskin, flashy belts and boots!
The Cattle Baron's Ball brings together our generous supporters for an incredible evening to fund our mission through cancer research, education, advocacy, and patient services.
Take a look back at the history of the American Cancer Society Cattle Baron's Ball...

Many shops try to be all things to all people. We don't do that. We focus on 3 things:
1. Wheel Alignments
2. NYS Inspections
3. Diagnostics
We do a lot of tune-ups, oil changes, etc… but we concern ourselves with the three items above because we feel we do them better than anyone in the area. Why?
We employ a Hunter __ System for our wheel alignments. Talk to any mechanic – - Hunter is the best alignment equipment available. You can be sure that our alignments are the best in the area – that's why so many other shops use us! Our SNAP-ON Diagnostics gear we just bought in November 2011. Since then we are proud of the fact that we can diagnose almost any problem in a matter of seconds with this piece of gear.
My name is Anthony, I own and run the place. My guys have been with me on average for ten years or so. Why? Because I'm fair, I treat them right, and they like working here. Don't take my word for it – ask them! But it goes to a larger issue. You can't get very far without the right people. And I'm fortunate in that the people who've chosen to stay with me are the very best!
