You will recall that in the Presidents Message posted on this Web site at the beginning of July, Master Trân mentioned that when speaking to TKD students in many countries he had become aware of their desire to learn more about ITF TKD.
As promised, we are introducing a new questions-and-answers feature called Do You Know? that will make it easy for everyone to learn more about ITF TKD. Everyone will learn something from answering these questions, and teachers are encouraged to use the questions in their classes.
Every two months we will post ten new questions on the Web site. The questions will be about the history of TKD, the history and organization of the ITF, technical points, the ITF TKD philosophy, and martial arts in general. We may ask you to simply give the answer or we may offer a list of answers for you to choose from. Some questions will be illustrated with photos or diagrams. Some questions will be very easy, while others may require some research.
In the beginning, the questions will be produced by the Presidents Office in collaboration with the Technical Committee, but we hope that you will participate by submitting your own questions. Please include the answers with your questions (although you may send us a question if you have not been able to find the answer).

Alexic anomia happens when you lose your ability to understand written words. You can no longer read and name words. This is a type of aphasia , which is a language disorder. It is caused by the brain not functioning correctly. This is a serious condition that may change over time, depending on the cause.
Alexic anomia is caused by damage to the language areas of the brain, for example:
- Stroke , which is the most common cause
- Severe blow to the head
- Traumatic brain injury
- Brain tumor
- Brain infection
- Other brain conditions
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of developing alexic anomia include:
- Being at risk for stroke or dementia
- Having a history of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
- Increased age
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to alexic anomia. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have:
- Inability to read with understanding
- Ability to write, but not read what you have written
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A neurological examination and tests may also be done to check brain function.
Your doctor may need pictures of your brain. This can be done with:
You may be referred to a neurologist. This is a doctor who specializes in diseases of the nervous system.
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
- Speech-language therapy—to help you use your ability to communicate, regain lost abilities, learn to make up for language problems, and learn other methods to communicate
- Counseling —to help you cope with your condition and help your family learn how to communicate with you
- Individualized rehabilitation program—to focus on what caused your condition
Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia. Follow these guidelines to help prevent stroke:
- Exercise regularly.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables .
- Limit salt and fat in your diet.
- If you smoke, quit .
- If you drink, limit your intake.
- Maintain a healthy weight .
- Control your blood pressure .
- Ask your doctor if you should take aspirin.
- Properly treat and control chronic conditions such as diabetes .
- If you have signs of a stroke, get help right away.

My day started far too early for a Saturday with a Little League game, A's vs. Giants. Nothing weird about that, right? Aside from the fact that the Curse of Interleague Play (hugs, Bud Selig) hasn't come upon us quite yet. And the fact that I was rooting for the A's. It pained me, I tell you. But I have people who I have to root for on the A's, so that was that. I swallowed my fandom and did it. I still have a few words to say to the coach who got the Giants – words like, "You should have given that team to me! – but it turned out to be a good thing that I was rooting for them A's, because they had an unprecedented comeback, went into extra innings and walked off. I sunburned (duh) but otherwise, things were wonderful.
I came home to the disastrous end to the real Giants game. Aubrey Huff played second base and pigs flew, as did Ryan Theriot, but it was too late. He's terribly ill, apparently, and just flew into NY today, but is still not well enough to play. Since the rest of the Giants bench seems to have been mysteriously transported to a galaxy far, far away/the Hundred Acre Wood/Middle Earth, Huff ended up at second. Need I really say more? Moving right along.
Then Philip I-Am-This-Close-To-Remembering-His-Last-Name pitched the 21st perfect game in the history of MLB (yeah, hugs, Bud Selig) for the Chicago White Sox, against the Seattle Mariners. That was something and by something I mean absolutely perfect. Literally. You know what I mean.
Then Jennifer Hudson went through airport security… oh. Sorry. Just surfing the front of the news as I write and there's a story about Jennifer Hudson and the TSA. News, y'all. Can I please blame this on Bud Selig? No? He wasn't involved with the TSA? You lie. I am quite positive he was.
Anywho. Then the Yankees had some sort of a brilliant comeback that I followed on and off while I drank orange juice because we're having a heatwave over here and there is nothing better to soothe the horribleness of a heatwave than orange juice.
This is all to say, it has been a strange and busy, but mostly strange, day in baseball. Flyballs are falling out of my ears and when I try to talk about unrelated things, baseball similes are creeping their way in. So I think I'm going to cut it off right here and nap and eat spinach pizza for a while. Catch you all (and Bud Selig) later.

You could try using Mint, I'm using that on an Aspire One and it works great for that kind of usage.
I also had some problems with Skype on this however, to do with receiving and sending audio, there are a couple of good posts that a quick google will point you in the right direction for to fix this though.
Hope that helps

I like 4 and 10, but I have to go with 8!!!!!!!!!
I like 4 and 10, but I have to go with 8!!!!!!!!!
ummm yeah, could you imagine number 4.............rubbing his head while he's fuckin ya missionary
in order from favorite to least:
7, 6, 4, 5
I'll be so busy sucking his cock that what's on his head wouldn't matter. But I think he's hottest in 4. 6,7,3,10 are really good also. Not ot be a total kiss ass, but he's always hot to me.
Im goin 4 or 7
For the short ones. All men look better with short hair.
Yeah, I'm thinking #8 is the best. Guys with that length of hair are sizzlin' hot.
yeah definitely number 4i know a guy that looks nearly identical to pic #4, its a shame he is straight though....
I prefer 1 and 2, before his Metrosexual years....and years....and years...when is he going to give that up...
4 and 7!!!
Impossible is Nothing
8.......................(he's looking rough these last days..:_()
mmm close between 5 and 4...but 5 wins
#4 works very well for me!
Porn for Patric: is my blog about porn sites and porn stars, guys I find hot and some of my photography
I like #6. His new look ages him a bit. That look didn't even look good on Brad Pitt! But he's still hotter than the average person so he could do no wrong. He's lucky.
#4 shaved head lovely and #10 something just so cute about that pic
Maybe this will put an end to all the pointless real or fake threads.
Quote "it has meant Americans are also catching on to REAL nude footage of Becks – although he keeps his assets well out of sight."
These pictures are surely the reason why. Hes huge now.
Not the best choice of words...
Where are the pics?
i dont see any pics, only one little one, and yes hes HOT as they come. rowwwwwwweeee
There are no pics.
This is a quote from a newspaper article referring to pics he has posed for. The point of the article is that any full frontal nude pics are fake.
i'm surprised that the frontals are fake....years ago Sting stood, fully frontal, in the same Jesus pose for Annie Liebowitz....and that's when Sting was at the height of his fame....I've found that beautiful people crave attention...no big deal for David, or another stud, to make the jump to "artistic"nudes...I wish more men would.....BEAU
how will the los angeles team he is joining pay his astronomical salary?
I dont see any hysteria over them at all here.. yeah there is a mention here and there but I dont know one person who has even mentioned it.. and im in NY and NYC
Id Band Him Haha
i won't post the real pictures ... but i'll post a link to them ...
apparently it is fake ... oh well ...
Certainly if it was real it would be hot!
forget beckham wot about the STEVIE G pics advertised...where he and i quote 'spills out of his shorts'
it's not real i live in the uk and beckham is rewally angery about the pix, one of the mags said, they also said he's lawer are trying to find out where it came from so watch out
This is the pic they are talking about:http://www.thecelebarchive.net/ca/de...89665189%2Ejpg
David Beckham completely naked on American Urge. Scroll down for better pictures and click on them for larger size.
"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something." --Jackie Mason
I'm not convinced that it is fake. I think they are saying it's fake even though it is real. I cannot tell where one photo would begin and another one would end - it looks completely seamless to me, and the shadows match perfectly, indicating that the light source is consistent throughout the photo. If it is a fake, it is absolutely the best one I've seen, but until someone shows me the photo of the model from the bottom with a different head, I will not be convinced. If it's from a known porno site, then that photo should be available.
I think it would be an interesting publicity stunt to take a photo that is real and then claim that it is a fake.
"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something." --Jackie Mason
why dosent someone post a bloody picture of him already...naked and bearing it all so ya'll shut up about him....ya'll are annoying!
Pictures on this site as well as on the previous link I posted.
"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something." --Jackie Mason
6 or 7...not that he looks bad in the others, it's hard to make THIS guy look bad !
But yeah...6 or 7, leaning more on 7
I agree with Luminox - 7 is my favorite, followed by 6. In #4 he looks like a Czech porno actor - not necessarily bad, but very common. Not all men look best with short hair - I look terrible with hair that short myself.
"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something." --Jackie Mason
Beckham doesn't do it for me. Now Frank Lampard is a different story..
[ATTACH]Attachment 169693[/ATTACH]ok i found this pic and if you were good enough with photoshop then you would be able to fix this one. but then again it might be real hopefully someone will be able to tell
its fake
he is such a hot stud
freddie Ljungberg does it for me more than beckham
david beckham is 8.5 uncut
i want to see
As you can see, I take disappointment very well.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2013: See Every Look Here
Marc Jacobs' collection for Louis Vuitton started right where his namesake collection left off in New York: a checkerboard print, this time designed with the French fashion house's famed Damier pattern in mind.
But as the models rode down the snazzy escalators, it was obvious that checks were where homage to the house ended. Everything else read purely Marc: all graphic and gutsy and colorful. (And sparkly: Louis Vuitton produced the smallest sequins EVER conceived to layer over skirts, pants and coats.) I especially liked the severely pointy heels, which will undoubtedly trickle down to high street stores come January.

My Journal VS Las Vegas
I shot the roll first in Las Vegas. Mostly on Fremont Street. Then re-shot the roll with different pages from my journal. I am a book binder and I make unusual books and then fill them up with doodles and musing. Combine a strange book with strange cameras and it's a recipe to meet interesting people from all over the globe. Old town Vegas and its neon lights seemed an appropriate background to mix my journal with.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by tracyvmoore with a Lomo LC-Wide (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Fuji Velvia 100F film in Las Vegas, United States.

Pattinson secured the role when he and Kristen Stewart, who was already cast as Bella Swan, had chemistry during his audition.
He said during his audition he decided to portray Edward as sensitive and pained since he knew Bella was a strong female character.

Campbell's has a dizzying array of soups in their Select Harvest line with a lot of traditional soups, but my interest was piqued by Campbell's Select Harvest Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Soup. Wondering what that might entail, I decided to see how they managed this "Asian fusion soup".
I associate Teriyaki with sweetness, but instead, the base of this soup had more of a pleasant soy sauce taste. Reading the ingredient list, I found tomato puree, but I couldn't taste it in the soup. The chicken chunks were fairly large and flavorful on the outside, but when I bit into them I found a drier texture. I really liked all the cut pieces of noodle, and the vegetable array in this soup was quite extensive with baby corn, carrots, spinach, and more. This really is a grown up, sexyfied version of Campbell's Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup.
A 1-cup serving of Campbell's Select Harvest Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Soup has 110 calories and 1.5 grams of fat, including 0.5 gram of saturated fat. There are 10 milligrams of cholesterol and 480 milligrams of sodium (20% DV) per serving. There are 16 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of which is dietary fiber, and 7 grams of protein. The soup also notably provides 20% DV vitamin A.
I paid $1.25 for an 18.6 ounce can of this soup at Kroger while it was on sale, but it normally sells for $2.89. Even for a low sodium, healthy soup, this soup has a lot of salt, providing more than 40% of the DV if you consume the whole can. However, I did find the combination of chicken, noodles, and veggies to be hearty and perfect for a cold day.

Acura TSX Lease Questions
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi gg014. the money factor and acquisition fee that you were given look good. They're right in line with Acura's base rates for this model.
Let's take a look at the selling price that you are being given. The dealer invoice price of a 2012 TSX 4-cylinder with the Tech Package is $32,020. This drops to right around $31,000 once we subtract the $1,000 available dealer cash from that. That's the exact selling price that you were quoted, so you are getting a good deal. Of course, you're really at around $400 over invoice after taking the doc fee into account, but that's still pretty good.
I'm not surprised about all the fees. Acura charges the acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases. The doc fee is fluff, but in the big picture you're still getting this car for a good price. Most of the other fees and taxes are government mandated.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
gg014 Posts: 5Thanks a lot car_man!
Is it typical for lessees to roll the acquisition, doc and tag fees into the capitalized amount? Washington DC charges a monthly 10% sales tax on the lease payments, so it seems like it makes better sense to pay these in cash rather than rolling them into the cost and essentially paying taxes on these fees. I think DC also charges sales tax on any cap cost reduction made, so I'm trying to figure out the optimal amount to put down, I was thinking between 1500-2000. Any suggestions?
I'll try to see if I can talk them out of the doc fee, we'll see how it goes! Thanks again! -

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Here you go movol. Acura's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a base 2013 TSX with 15,000 miles per year are .00082 and 58% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2012 model are .00011 and 52%.
If you were to lease with only 12,000 miles per year, the residual values would be 2% higher. The 10k residual would be 3% higher.
There is a $1,000 cash incentive on the 2012 model, but nothing on the 2013 model.
You should be able to get a lower payment on a '12 than on a '13 at this point.

kchoffman Posts: 1I was offered a 36 month, 10k a year lease on a 2012 TSX for 339+tax
so 362.73 tax included a month. 0 down. 1200 total out of pocket "inception fees"
does this seem like a descent deal.
the online "special on acura website is 350 a month 0 down plus taxes titles and fees. I wish there was a source or database where people posted their leases, instead of having to haggle with these south florida dealerships.
Thank you! -
teddybear11 Posts: 10
jefroyster Posts: 1Was quoted the following for a TSX base:
12,000 miles per year
$556.84 due at signing (consists of 1st payment and title/registration fees)
$392.84 monthly payment for remaining 35 payments
$0 due at signing (sign and drive lease)
$404.68 monthly payment (you will only make 35 total payments)
Residual for 12,000 miles per year – 60% which equates to residual value of $18,843
Residual for 10,000 miles per year – 61% which equates to residual value of $18,157.05
Money factor for lease with first payment and title/registration fees due at signing - .00082
Money factor for sign and drive lease - .00072
If you wanted a TSX with the Technology Package, the payment would be about $60 more than a TSX without the Technology Package.
Quoted :
Offer Price $28,300
Wisconsin Title/Registration Fees
Title/Registration: $159.00
Other Wisconsin DMV Fees
Vehicle registration: $75.00
Title: $69.00
Security interest (lien): $10.00
Counter service fee: $5.00
Tax & Total
State Sales Tax $1,415.00
Total $29,874.00
Thoughts? I do expect a money factor issue as I'm still recovering from a credit hit due to a short sale of my home for a job relocation. But, that's my worry as long as the numbers are OK. -
melissakayjd Posts: 2I was not looking to buy a new car, but my 2003 BMW 325i has an oil sludge problem that has resulted in it not getting enough oil pressure, so it just stops. The mechanic said they can try to clean it for $1000, but there is no guarantee of how long it will work. So, either spend $1000 on what will definitely be a temporary fix to a non-fixable problem, or off to get a new car. I went to the Acura dealership in Ocala, Florida, and I was offered a lease with the following terms:
Trade in my BMW (rough trade in is $4600, so maybe worth a little less since it wont run?)
0 due at signing
$280 plus tax for total of $296.80 per month for 36 months
12k per year
I dont know if this is good or not because of the condition of my car (which i was honest with them about). Please advise. Thanks. -

sergeym Posts: 258Does not look like it is. Here is what I suggest you do.
1. You have $3,000 in your trade. Tell them to cut you a check for $3,000. This is your money and should NOT be used for downpayment of any kind.
2. Tell them that you would like to pay $425 per month with all fees and taxes included in the monthly payment.
2. $425 is a very good deal but $430-440 are reasonable too. Once again - ALL fees and taxes included in thos amount. -
rmpierce1 Posts: 4Car_man: I am in negotiations with a dealer for a new 2012 TSX Wagon with Tech. MSRP is $36,800. I have been offered a price of $32,978 (their first offer). That is nearly $4,000 off MSRP (including the $1,000 dealer cash), which I think is pretty good. I just want to make sure they don't try to make it back on me with financing.
I have done a little research and tried to find money factor and residuals, but have only been able to find them for November, or for the 2013's, or for the sedan. The dealer assured me that he can lease this car, and that the "rates" are better than they are on the 2013's. I've found 0.00011 and 52% for the Sedan for November. I'm looking at 15,000/year, with nothing down. I'll pay TTL and acquisition out of pocket. Lease tax in PA is 10%.
What should the monthly payment be for these parameters?
Are these good money factor and residuals for Dec, or have the rates changed/are they different for the wagon?
If I was at or below $450/mo, I could probably live with it. Thanks so much for your assistance.
I'd love to close this deal by Friday and have this car for the holidays. Another dealer quoted me $31,613 for a 2012 TSX Sedan w/Tech, for a payment of $480/mo (TTL/Acqisition in). MSRP was $34,005. I don't think that's a very good deal at all, either price or the lease deal. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi rmpierce1. A $4,000 discount is a very good selling price for a 2012 TSX. There's actually a total of $1,000 dealer cash on it right now ($1,000 of that is hidden and most people don't know about) so you're probably right at around dealer invoice minus incentives.
Acura's December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 TSX Wagon Tech with 15,000 miles per year are .00082 and 56% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
Using the prices that you mentioned in your post, an MSRP of $36,800 and a selling price of $32,978, and the above lease program, I estimate that this car would have a zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $388.

sergeym Posts: 2581. I've got a TSX tech in January for $400 per month with all fees included in monthly payments. You should be able to do as good or better now. My lease is 12K miles per year, 15K were +$6.
2. It depends. For me the tech package does worth the additional $45. You get a functional, but for sure, not the best navigation system, a backup camera (my wife really wanted it) and a decent sound system. -

rback36 Posts: 1Good for you! Did you put any money down or is the $404 inclusive of all the fees?
I'm in Southern California and I was quoted the following w/no money down:
2013 TSX Base: $408/month (inclusive of estimated tax and fees)
2013 TSX w/Tech: $468/month (inclusive of estimated tax and fees)
Both for 10k/36 months.
I'm trying to shop around to see if I can get a better deal. -
mbac23 Posts: 12The tech package is not worth the extra $45 a month which is why I ended up getting the base model instead. I also looked at the tech package when I was at the dealership and the few extra features was not worth it. The sound system also sounded identical to the base. I leased mine for $279/mo including taxes for 36mo/12kyr with $2000 total out of pocket. I believe the dealer used the $2000 for down and paid for my registration,title, and other fees.
tsxbythesea Posts: 4Including the tax, $381 for 36 mos./15K for the base TSX, plus oil changes and tire rotations for the lease term. I only paid 1st mo. and registration, before driving it home. Fees were rolled into the lease. The other dealer wanted $60/mo. more and no service, and that was the dealer where I leased my last 5 Acuras. They used to offer the best price, but those days are over. So much for loyalty.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Greetings chuckjr. Acura's February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 TSX Wagon with 10,000 miles per year are .00011 and 61% for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
The numbers for the 2012 version of this car are .00011 and 54% with $1,000 dealer cash.

African-American women make up roughly 8 percent of the U.S. workforce. Our representation in most senior executive leadership recently fell to under 1 percent: Ursula Burns is currently holding it down as the only African-American chief executive officer of the 500 largest companies in the United States. The numbers stink, so it's no wonder that African-American women are concerned about both the written and unwritten rules to corporate success.
Straightened hair, hair thermally or chemically treated to change the texture from its natural kinky curly state, was once one of the unwritten rules of corporate advancement for African-American women. But is this still the case in 2012? We are in the pipeline, but still sorely underrepresented within the executive ranks. How much of this has to do with the way we look?
Behind closed doors, talent development leaders consult with me about how to embrace the diverse aesthetic and build a workforce that is a living expression of the company's brand. For the most part, companies are very ready to promote African-American women who bring their authentic selves to work. It is also true that brand ambassadorship is nuanced: how talent looks can reinforce and undermine a company's brand in a variety of ways that can seem complicated and confusing. African-American women get more than enough mixed messages about natural hair from the media, to perpetuate hair-insecurity in the best of us.
Most women have a bit of a love/hate relationship with their hair. The historical context for Black women in America makes the hair issue even more significant for many of us. When I consult with African-American women, there is always a conversation about the appropriateness and acceptability of their Natural hair for work. Clients of all ages and levels of leadership ask questions about the mixed messages they receive about showing up to work with the hair God gave them:
"I wear my hair natural in a variety of styles that work with my natural texture: braids, twists, buns and cornrows. Some seem to go over better than others at work. Are there certain hairstyles that are off limits?
Which hairstyles are "off-limits" is less dependent on the texture of our hair and more dependent on 1) how conservative/avant guarde our company culture is, and 2)whether or not there is a dominant mainstream impression of the style. For example,fair or not, many associate cornrows or scalp braids with beach vacations and pop culture.Hairstylesare a means of personal self-expression, and to be effective we must appreciate what we wish to communicate, and to whom we are "speaking". Unless frequent change is considered an assetwithin the organization, then changing styles too often might just be a liability.
"Why do some universities implement dress policies that discourage people of color from wearing textured styles?"
Universities, particularly HBCUs, take pride in placement of their graduates and they are exceptional at placement. HBCUs typically encourage students to err on the side of conservative. The conversation that some schools are having with students is really about conservative hairstyles, verses non-conservative. Listen closely, the stringent dress and grooming guidelines do not suggest straight hair, only conservative hair.
"When I wear my hair curly, it draws too much attention. I've even had colleagues touch my hair without asking. How I wear my hair creates a Q&A session in which I'd prefer not to engage, so it seems keeping it straight is my only option."
The issue here is change. Change inspires conversation and the perception of choice ("I like your hair this way or that way.") The textural difference between straight and curly seems like a big, awesome change to someone whose hair could never do that. Shifting back and forth between curly and straight can be distracting in much the same way that it is distracting if a man is inconsistent with how he grooms his facial hair. Pick your horse and ride it, and in short time there will be no questions or conversations.
"Is a little Afro the only thing that works in conservative environments? My hair is long, so big, when I let the curls be free. What are my natural hair options in my very conservative law office?"
More hair equals less conservative, no matter what texture. Think of your face as a picture and your hair as a frame. The larger and more decorated the frame, the less conservative it seems. This does not mean that you have to wear your hair short. Your hair in a bun, or similarly styled braids, Senegalese twists and locs create a conservative finish.
"I'd love to come out of this wig! How do I mitigate the ignorant impression that wearing my hair in its organic texture is unkempt?"
When we honor ourselves by taking ample time daily to groom ourselves spiritually and physically, it is virtually impossible to express "unkempt." Hair is fickle. No matter how you style it, it will be different as soon as the wind blows. Style your hair, but focus more attention on the more robust elements of your physical presence, like posture, gait, wardrobe and makeup. There is ignorance in the world and you may run into it from time to time. Give it no energy – you are wholly and perfectly made.
"I am looking for a new job. Should I straighten my hair for job interviews?"
If you question whether or not to straighten you hair, odds are there is some insecurity about wearing it curly. Show up to your interview feeling strong and powerful. If straightening your hair helps – so be it. Growing comfortable with our hair is easier when we feel safe: on weekends or vacations and in healthy employment situations where we know we are valued. Practice makes perfect. Let's dream a world where we feel powerful showing up the way God made us, then make it so.
Is Corporate America ready for our Kinky curly hair? Yes. Does showing up "natural" limit our professional advancement? No.
There are real hurdles like too little sponsorship, lack of visibility and less than sufficient corporate commitment to creating a sustainable critical mass. It is time to uncover and eliminate these things.
What is a real advancement hurdle that African-American women face in Corporate America? What have you done to advance in spite of it?

Parent Category: Things To Know
1. Geckos are small to medium-sized lizards. They are found all over the world in warm climates.
2. There are over 1,100 different species of geckos. Several species, such as the House Gecko, will enter houses and climb over the walls and ceilings eating insects. Many people also keep geckos as pets in aquariums. The most common pet gecko is the Leopard Gecko.
3. Geckos range in size from 3/4 to 14 inches long.
4. The life span of a gecko can be as long as 30 years.
5. Most geckos are nocturnal.
6. The largest gecko is the Tokay Gecko and the smallest is the Dwarf Gecko.
7. Geckos come in a wide variety of colors, patterns and textures. Some geckos can change color like chameleons.
8. Geckos are different from other lizards, because they use vocal chirps to communicate with each other.
9. Although some geckos have claws, most have thousands of hair-like structures on their feet which allows them to stick to and climb slippery and flat surfaces. Most species of gecko have a clear membrane to protect the eyes instead of eyelids. They also lick this membrane to keep it clean.
10. If a gecko accidently loses its tail it has the ability to grow a new one.

I was going to say that Panda was not at all express and he took his sweet time, but look what happened when he finally did arrive but that seems in poor taste now. Seeing as the Cubbies won. After all that. Wilson blew the save and then Ramon Ramirez blew whatever else there was to blow in the 13th. The offense crossed the line from "sleepy" to "fast asleep" and Matt Cain's performance of seven shutout innings was largely forgotten. Not to mention his 1000th strikeout. That was entirely forgotten.
There. Did I cover it all?
No, I think I missed this part: the Giants recently went on a seven game winning streak. As we end June and sneak up to the All Star Break, they're in first place, two games ahead of Arizona with 46 wins and one of the best records in Major League Baseball.
Moral of the story?
Chill the heck out.
Yep, the game was basically terrible and your totally staunch closer blowing a save would make any division lead feel insanely tentative, I think. Don't panic yet, friends.
Bochy promised "changes ahead". I can't decide if that's a tactic to comfort the homicidal/suicidal Giants fans after a game like this or he really means it. I also don't know whether I like it or not. If he means stirring the pot a little, mixing up the lineups, getting a few fresh faces in there and demanding an answer from Sabes about why he likes Bill Hall, I'm all for it. If it means mini-trades (not Nate! Not Nate! Not Nate!), acquisition of DFA'd players or something else like that, then I'd rather he just stuck with talking about it, not doing it.
By the way, the mini-Uribe drama the other day got me looking at his stats and… oh. I'm sad to see him in a, um, slump like that. But still glad he isn't going to be back in orange and black in the imminent future, seeing as there's a lot of money to be paid to him. Incidentally, I don't think what Sabean said really totally shot down the rumors. He said he hadn't spoken to Ned Colletti in weeks. But if it's true that he doesn't answer his phone, then maybe Ned left messages offering Uribe or something and he just hasn't called back? Sorry. I had to throw it out there.
I have to check out now. I did the PA announcing for a Little League All Star game for the first time last night (yes, someone dropped Renel on me) and that somehow qualifies me to teach another person to do it tonight. Wish me luck with that. I am armed with a kid-friendly playlist featuring lots of Owl City and some other secret weapons in case things get ugly with the parents. I mean, how am I supposed to know there are that many ways to spell the name "Rider" and they're all pronounced the same way?

There is never a dull moment here in Psychology at IIT. The most exciting news is that Joyce Hopkins is the Co-Investigator on a five year, $3.5m. NIMH funded study with colleague John Lavigne at Children's Hospital. The title is: "Oppositional Defiant Disorder/Depression in Younger Children: "Developmental Aspects". Our congratulations go out to Joyce and her colleagues. Not only will this allow us to support more students but it makes it possible for Joyce to concentrate more on her important work that will make a difference in the lives of many children and families. Additionally, Dr. Hopkins' research group is participating in the national standardization of the 3rd edition of the of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. The College of Psychology will be reported as one of the standardization sites in the newly revised test manual. The Bayley Scales are the best standard assessment system appropriate for use with infants to asses cognitive, motor and social development. This is a wonderful achievement to a deserving clinical faculty member.
Most of you remember Allen Wollach, I am sure. Allen is retiring after 35 years here at IIT. He tells me that he has never had trouble keeping busy and he expects to travel, donate time and labor to Habitat for Humanity, and do the many things he has always done. We will miss Allen for his good heart, generosity of spirit, mechanical prowess, unflagging dedication to teaching, and devotion to his work in learning and statistical computer programs.
We are also bidding good-bye to Shreya Sarkar-Barney who is moving to the east coast. Shreya has been a member of the I/O program since 2002 and made the difficult decision to move after her spouse was offered a wonderful job opportunity in New Jersey.
For those of us with careers and families, we know the anguish that accompanies these decisions in which one cannot simply choose for one's own self but must weigh the needs of multiple others. We wish her and her family the very best for the future.
The list of good-byes seems long all of the sudden. Colette Matusinec, who worked in the main office keeping everything afloat, secured a job as a lawyer which made us all happy for her but sad for us. Jennifer Walden has stepped up to her position and has made the transition seamless. We are grateful to both. Arlonda Dickerson joined us and helps keep everything running.
We have been conducting multiple searches for faculty and we are pleased to announce that in the fall Drs. Ruthanna Gordon and Annette Towler from U. Mass Amherst, and U. Colorado Denver, respectively, will be joining us . Ruthanna is a cognitive psychologist whose work is in decision making; Annette is an I/O psychologist who studies culture, leadership, and training. You will be hearing more about their work in the fall newsletter.
SIOP (Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychologists) was a blast this year. Held in Chicago, we packed the room and brought down the house showing our newly made DVD featuring the I/O program and honoring Dr. Raju. Contrary to muttered rumors, Dr. Raju is not retiring but we are undertaking an effort to endow a chair to honor his distinguished work and created a DVD to showcase all the great aspects of IIT, I/O and Nam. We will need your help to complete this important project.
Please be in touch. We really enjoy hearing from and about our alumni. We will feature a graduate of one of our programs in each newsletter. In this first issue, we report on the work and success of Bill Schiemann. Please let us know if you would like to be the person about whom we write. Send us your success stories!
All the best,
--M. Ellen Mitchell, Ph.D., College Director
Progress at the Center for Research and Service
The Center for Research and Service continues to experience success in its consulting service business. Center revenue is stable and investments in web-based survey technology and 360-degree feedback systems are offering an excellence return to the College of Psychology. In addition, building on the psychometric and statistical strengths of faculty in the Industrial/Organizational Psychology program, the Center has increasingly supported the strategic human resources measurement initiatives of its clients.
The Center has continued to upgrade technology for organizational surveys, customer satisfaction measures, and multi-rater feedback systems. Enhanced capabilities for survey data reports now enable clients with a wide variety of formats and reporting options, which are delivered in an exceptionally cost effective manner. Enhancements for organizational survey reports include color graphics, executive summary reports with the most favorable and unfavorable rated items and dimensions highlighted, and time series analysis over as many as four administrations (perfect for pulse surveys).
Substantial projects over the past year include:
- Development and validation of employment tests for warehouse personnel for a large multi-national automobile manufacturer
- Development of leadership competency models and/or 360-degree feedback programs for five organizations, including a multi-national chemical company, two large insurance companies, and two not-for-profit organizations
- Several large scale organizational surveys, including a multi-national survey for over 10,000 employees
- Design and implementation of interviewing skills, performance appraisal and team skills training programs
- Individual assessment for management selection and development
- Executive coaching for performance improvement
Once again, in conducting research and servicing our clients, we have relied heavily on student and faculty contributions. We have provided applied research and consulting experiences to over thirty students from all the College's programs during this past year. This active partnership has become a hallmark of the Center, which serves both our clients' goals and the Center's mission to support student development.
With respect to our success over the past year, we extend appreciation to our faculty, students, administration, consulting partners, and, of course, our clients for their ongoing support and encouragement. Our success would not be possible were it not for these important stakeholders.
Finally, as we prepare to proceed to the next phase of growth, the Center seeks members for a new advisory board. The Center for Research and Service Advisory Board will join the Center Director and key staff as resources for strategic planning and to assist in reviews of Center performance and evaluation of key initiatives. Board members should represent diverse backgrounds and expertise. Given the nature of Board contributions, desirable applicants will have experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Consulting or professional services background
- Marketing or PR expertise
- Strategic planning expertise
- Current strategic allies
- Business development experience
- Experience in the optimization of human capital
Please contact me regarding your interest in, or referrals for, the advisory board.

Focus on Faculty
Dr. Allen Wolach
When Dr. Allen Wolach began his career at IIT 35 years ago, the face of the campus looked much different than it does today. The Psychology department moved from Chaplin Hall, with its distinctive red brick design to Life Sciences. Within two years after arriving at IIT, the administration building and machinery hall were the only "red brick" buildings that remained on the IIT campus. These buildings are now historical landmarks. While these landmarks have stood the test of time, so has a great teacher.
Dr. Wolach came to IIT as an Assistant Professor in 1969 after earning his Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico. Wolach was director of the experimental psychology program for nine years. During that time, there were more undergraduate students than graduate students and most students were interested in experimental psychology. Dr. Wolach has studied differences in how species learn and compared how and why different species learn. He took on the challenge of experimenting with fish using a unique classical conditioning apparatus. He observed that fish and higher animals produce similar response patterns in classical conditioning situations. Conversely, fish and higher animals produce different response patterns in instrumental or operant learning situations.
During his tenure with IIT at the College of Psychology, he taught over 7,500 students and mentored many of them. He has trained almost 30 Ph.D. students. "I enjoyed working with students who were willing to take an experiment the extra mile and work together to discover even more," he commented. His 35 years of service have meant a great deal to Psychology at IIT and his work in research has made an impact in the field. He has written programming books about analysis of variance and developed tutorial programs for teaching basic statistics.
Dr. Wolach will continue his work on statistical packages from home and plans to travel to England and Australia in the near future. We will miss Dr. Wolach and wish him the very best for a well-earned retirement. A reception honoring him was held on Tuesday, May 11th.
From the Board Chair
The $250 million dollar IIT, Pritzker-Galvin Challenge campaign has made many things happen in the last five years.
- The endowment scored by more than $90 million
- SAT scores for incoming freshmen increased from 1268 to 1301
- Six new faculty positions were endowed
- A strikingly designed campus center and new residence halls were built
- The College of Psychology has achieved two nationally ranked programs
The generosity of IIT's Trustees, Robert A. Pritzker and Robert W. Galvin, matching grant made a difference to campus and academic programs. Pledge payments received from the challenged campaign will continue to be matched through June 30 of this year.
In the Fall of 2002, the College of Psychology took on its own challenge and announced the launching of a campaign to create two endowed faculty chairs in honor of two distinguished professors. One chair will be in Rehabilitation Psychology and the other in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Endowing these chairs will enhance the prominence of the College of Psychology and ensure the highest excellence in education for the future.
The goal is to raise $2 million to create the Industrial/Organizational Faculty chair. Distinguished Professor, Dr. Nambury Raju, an internationally recognized scholar and consultant in the field of Psychology and measurement, will be named to this chair.
Dr. Raju has devoted his career to improving productivity measurement and improvement in the work force. This endowment will honor his distinguished work to the field and allow for additional opportunities for research and training at IIT in Industrial/Organizational psychology.
A committee of devoted I/O alumni and colleagues of Dr. Raju worked together to create a compelling DVD about his life and work to help inform the university community about the value of his research. The DVD will be available to friends and supporters. Several alumni and friends have stepped forward with great interest in supporting this project.
To ensure that the social and emotional needs of persons with disabilities are supported to optimize adjustment, we have established a Rehabilitation Psychology Faculty Endowment fund with a goal of $2 million. This project will honor the vital position of Dr. Chow Lam, Director of the Rehabilitation Program and will help secure the future of rehabilitation training. We continue to receive significant contributions in support of this campaign. Our thanks go out to IIT Trustee and member of our Board, Mr. William C. Bartholomay, and his family who make a very generous lead gift.
Successful funding of the two chairs is critical to ensuring continuous quality programs and the long term success of the College of Psychology. Your help is needed to support these campaigns. We will be approaching our alumni and friends for donations and pledges. Members of our Board are already spreading the word to their colleagues. We will be relying on your help to reach our goals!
Congratulations to Dr. Roya Ayman on her promotion to full professor.
--Bryan R. Dunn, President & CEO, Kinship Corp. Chair, College of Psychology Board of Overseers
Admissions Corner
I am extremely excited to have become a part of the College of Psychology. I am working hard to recruit the Fall 2004 class. We currently have 11 admitted students with 4 having confirmed acceptance. We also have 16 pending applications. It is my hope that we will matriculate between 10 and 15 new students for this fall.
We have begun several new initiatives this year that will improve our recruiting power for this semester and semesters to come. We have created a mailing plan for our current inquiries that spans all four years of high school. This should have the effect of creating brand loyalty and word-of-mouth advertising. We have also initiated a new scholarship program that allows psychology teachers to nominate their students to receive a scholarship. Students awarded this scholarship will have it presented to them at their high school awards nights.
This year we are instituting a new summer program for high school freshmen and sophomores interested in studying psychology. This 4-day program, called "Get Psyched", will have its inaugural class this August 1-4. We are hoping for around 20 students to attend. Please recommend this program to interested students and their families and ask them to visit the website: www.iit.edu/colleges/psych/current/progs/getpsyched/.
Undergraduate Admission has begun requesting assistance from alumnae who are willing to represent IIT at college fairs and high school visits in their hometowns. If you are interested in lending a hand, please feel free to contact us at 312.567.3500.
Lastly, we have been working with our current students to improve our retention rates. We have communicated with struggling students in order to help them improve their grades and better adjust to college life. We have also been helping students who have difficulty in other majors to switch to psychology.
I want to thank everyone who has helped make my transition into this position a positive one. I look forward to working with you all in the future and know we will see many successes at the College of Psychology. If any one should have any ideas or comments about strategies for enrollment and/or retention, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 312.567.8945.

The newly proposed definition is embraced by U.S. and Canadian greenhouse interests and aims to be a harmonized U.S. definition for greenhouse grown tomatoes, Beckman said.
"The concern is, that unlike for certified organic, there really isn't a definition in place," Beckman said. He said Mexican field tomatoes have been sold into the market place as greenhouse grown.
"There is evidence of hundreds of thousands of pounds of tomatoes being mislabeled under the California code," he said. "It is simply time to bring a definition to the marketplace so that a consumer who wants to buy a greenhouse tomato has some assurance that it is actually a greenhouse tomato that they are purchasing,' Beckman said. USDA statistics on imports of greenhouse tomatoes are unreliable, since it seems some field grown tomatoes are being imported as greenhouse product.
Beckman said the effort to revise the greenhouse definition is separate from the dispute about the suspension agreement, but he said there are issues that tie into growers' concern about Mexican tomatoes.
"There are issues related to how the suspension agreement currently impacts the greenhouse industry in the U.S., and yes, there have been reports that we have had product that has been crossed into the U.S. that has been crossed as greenhouse simply because the (suspension agreement) price matrix is based not upon the product value but the weight of the carton," he said.
In addition, he said the Florida industry has a marketing order that has minimum quality standards for tomatoes that also apply to Mexican tomato imports during the Florida marketing window. However, that marketing order doesn't apply to greenhouse tomatoes, so Beckman said Mexican field tomatoes may also be mislabeled as greenhouse to circumvent the marketing order as well. The definition may assist in the development of tomato safety metrics, Beckman said.

Hehe, thank you for opening an English channel...
Well, let me tell you every thing I know about my club... and lets begin with the historic...
FC St. Gallen has been etablished on 19. April 1879. So we're the oldest existing football club outside the UK ... (There are older clubs like 1860 Munich, but they started with other sports first. for example swimming, etc)...
The club wasnt very succesfull during all the years so we only won two championships (1904, 2000), once the cup (1969) and once the league cup (1978)... The fans of the club are called "Espen" because of the name of the stadium Espenmoos. The club played there for 98 years, from 1910 to 2008! In Juny our new stadium, the commercial AFG Arena, has opened its gates. It has a capacity of 20'000 and is as modern as Alvalade...
The biggest year in the history of FC St. Gallen were the years from 1999-2001, when the team was sensational swiss champion in front of other clubs liker Grasshoppers or Basel. Marcel Koller (hes now coach of the german Bundesliga club Vfl Bochum) formed a new team with unknown players and focussed them on things like teamspirit, etc... so it was a very suprising year and nobody had bet on St. Gallen. The team could commit in the Champions League qualification, where they played against Galatsaray... Well, the failed... after a 1:2 at home, we played a 2:2 draw in turkey... Then the biggest highlight ever came: In the first round of Uefa Cup we've kicked Chelsea London out of the tournament. We lost at Stamford Bridge with 1:0 but we turned score at home (St. Gallen had to play its international games in Zurich beacause of the old Espenmoos) an won 2:0 against stars like Panucci, Zola, Di Matteo... The out in the Uefa cup came in the 2nd round, when we failed in the last minute against Brügge from Belgium...
2001 we were third in the swiss championship (we had the chance to defend the title until the last day in the league) and played international against Pelister Bitola, Steaua Bukarest and failed against the german club SC Freiburg... was a hard game... we won first in Freiburg with 1:0 and lost at home with 1:4...
In 2002 the team appeared in UI-Cup... after eliminating the faroer club Torshavn... we were kicked out in overtime by Willem II from Netherlands... and this was the end of our international period... we came in to trouble in our league for years and had had to fight against relegation till 2008, when we had to go a division deeper... :'(
2006/07 was a good year... the club was leader after 10 rounds played... but in the second half year the played 11 draws... so that we fell back on 5th place of super league, so that we could appear on ui cup 2007/08 again. and this was the beginning of the end: there was a spectacular defeat in the second round against the moldavian club Dacia Chisinau ... and after this we had a catastrophal start into the season (we lost our first 5 games)...
In December 2007 Krassimir Balakov has been presented as our new head couch... but he couldnt help us seriously: till the end of the year we came away from the last place in the classement, but we had to play two relegation games (they are called Barrage in Switzerland) against AC Bellinzona - a club from the south part of the country, where they speak italian. We lost the last game ever in Espenmoos with 2:0, so we had to go one liga deeper into challenge league... Balakov has been fired just after a little more than half a year... We had to notice, that he isnt as good as trainer as he as player was... before he came to St. Gallen made the fans of Grasshoppers the same experiences with him... in Zurich he had changed the hole team and produced 40 (!) transfers in one a half years....
Actually we play the first time since 1993 in challenge league now: We are the biggest club in this division and we've won our first five games without any problems... the fans are very enthusiastic... and we have a average attendance of more than 13 000 !!! We are on our way back... and who knows: may be we're gonna play on an international tournament again!!!

Balakov... how we miss him!! He was one of the finest players that ever played for Sporting. He is still a huge fan of Sporting. He is dearly missed.

The most famous player, who played in St. Gallen ist without doubt
Ivan Zamorano
. He started his career in europe in St. Gallen, in the eastern part of Switzerland...
He scored and scored and scored... 35 goals in a little more than a year... he was the topskorer of the league and famous for his header... We calle
d him "Ivan der Schreckliche" - Ivan, the terrible one...
He changed 1990 to Sevilla... and played also for Real Madrid and Inter Milan... a great guy... this year he came back for a revival match against the profis from today...
An other very good-known guy is
Tranquillo Barnetta
... He came 2002 in our first team (as a u17 european champion with Switzerland) when he was only 17 years old... He stayed for two years and was also in the national squad for the Euro in Portugal, but he didnt play... After the Euro 2004 he has been transfered to Bayer Leverkusen... hes still there and hes the most important player there and in the swiss national team... he promised us, that he will come back to St. Gallen one day...
Marco Tardelli
played also for a season in St. Gallen (1987/88). He was world champion with Italy in 1984...
Other good-known players are
Jörg Stiel
who was a player of the champions team 2000 and later Bundesliga keeper in Mönchengladbach. He was our national keeper on Euro 2004.
Hakan Yakin
played also a season for the Espen... dont have to tell mutch about him.. he changed clubs very often... and scored two goals against Portugal on this Euro...
Well, there are of course a lot other great players like...
Charles Amoah
(topskorer in 2000), Ratinho (german champion with Kaiserslautern in 1998), or José Cardozo, on of the best players from Paraguay ever...

Does anybody know if there is any kind of fan organization concerning teams with green and white stripped shirts, such as St. Gallen, Celtic and Sporting?

No idea, man...
but it would be very cool: a green-white club for supporters of these club...
we could organise groundhopping to every green-white...nice... but expensive...

Hey dude, we hope now that we opened the International Lounge where each "outsider" fan can show his interest in Sporting or even let us know everything about your clubs. We also hope that from now on more people can participate in our Forum, maybe when we play against anyone in CL or Uefa Cup or because of interest in Sporting Clube Portugal.
Have a nice stay!
Sorry for my worse english, but i did not talk or even write english for a long time. Need more practice

14000 spectators in a 2nd division game?!
In Portugal, some teams in 1st division put only 1000 spectators at the stadium...
Hehe, yeah we know this... but St. Gallen is very special. In fact we are one of the biggest clubs in the country and the hole eastern part of Switzerland is standing behind the club...
Vaduz came up to first Division this year... They have an average of 2500 spectators... so you see, Vaduz for St. Gallen was a bad change... and there is on other special thing about FCV... they arent swiss, they are from Liechtenstein! So a club from another country plays in our highest league... and there are some special rules for them: they cant get swiss champion and they dont participate in our cup. The have their own cup tournament in Liechtenstein for getting their ticket to the Uefa Cup Qualification... and there they play against other teams from Liechtenstein, which are playing in the 5. or 6. swiss division...very cheap...
