There are different types of insomnia, most of which cause people to lay in bed awake, frustrated that they are unable to fall asleep or stay asleep. As a result, they toss and turn, and irritability increases. Insomnia can take various forms, including early morning arousal (difficulty staying asleep), sleeping latency (difficulty falling asleep), fragmented sleep (waking up multiple times during the night), and sleeping very lightly and waking feeling unrefreshed. Many people with insomnia want to avoid medicine because they are concerned about potential addiction, or feeling spacey or drowsy throughout the day.
Finding the Causes of Insomnia
Sleep-wake cycles are dictated by internal circadian rhythms. These rhythms are strongly influenced by light entering through the eyes, which signals the brain to regulate production of certain hormones, including one called melatonin. Circumstances that unnaturally diminish the entrance of light into the eyes can disrupt the natural circadian rhythm, the production of necessary hormones, and therefore, an individual's proper sleep-wake cycle. Such circumstances include blindness and failing eyesight due to aging. Traveling to different time zones and jet lag, as well as working the night shift, disturb the natural circadian rhythm as well.
Insomnia can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition such as depression, an over-active thyroid, high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, dementia, or pain disorders.
Several lifestyle factors can contribute to sleep disturbance. Keeping a sleep-wake diary is helpful in identifying and modifying these factors, which include:
- Use of stimulants, including caffeine, nicotine, and ingredients in common drugs such as cold and weight-loss medicines. Some people have difficulty falling asleep, others wake during the night.
- Use of alcohol. While it may help you fall asleep, alcohol consumption is likely to produce interrupted sleep and is not recommended as an insomnia treatment.
- Working night or rotating shifts.
- Lack of regular exercise.
- Exercising too close to bedtime
- Eating too close to bedtime.
- Stress
- Excessive time on the computer or watching television.
Treating Insomnia With Lifestyle Changes
The most effective and frequently used conventional treatments to establish a restful sleep pattern are behavioral, not medicinal. These include achieving proper sleep hygiene, as well as making other lifestyle alterations. Good sleep hygiene includes:
- Going to bed at the same time each night
- Reserving your bed for sleep and sex
- Watching television or reading in another room
- Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and cigarettes, especially in the afternoon and evening
- Not laying in bed watching the clock. If you cannot fall asleep 15-20 minutes, get up and listen to calming music or read
- Exercising often, but not too close to bedtime
- Limiting naps
- Sleeping in a place with very little light and noise distraction
If nothing seems to be working for you , there are treatment options available. Consider trying:
- Relaxation techniques—A multidisciplinary team, including medical doctors, specializing in sleep disturbances can train and guide people in such approaches as yoga, meditation, deep relaxation, biofeedback, hypnosis, massage, and/or guided imagery. Practicing one of these techniques within 30 minutes of bedtime may be helpful. Simple changes in bedtime routine may also be effective. These include taking a warm bath, listening to soothing music, and drinking warm milk.
- Acupuncture—Positive effects of the use of this ancient Chinese practice have been shown; however, more proof is needed before it can be recommended as an effective treatment for insomnia. A typical protocol is to receive acupuncture treatments weekly until a normal sleep pattern is achieved, followed by maintenance sessions. However, a licensed and certified acupuncturist will determine the most appropriate treatment regimen for each individual.
- Light therapy—For night-shift workers suffering from insomnia, light therapy may effective. This therapy involves using very bright lights in the work setting and then, when trying to sleep during the day, doing so in a very dark room while wearing sunglasses or a sleep mask.
- Cognitive therapy—This behavioral method involves addressing misconceptions and unrealistic expectations about both insomnia and the nature of sleep. Some issues addressed during cognitive therapy include napping to compensate for poor sleep at night, anxiety about bedtime, fear of sleeplessness, beliefs about necessary hours of sleep, and attributing insomnia to age, ability to sleep, and/ or possible chemical imbalance.
Treating Insomnia with Prescription Sleep Medications
Long-term use of sleeping pills is not recommended, as addiction is possible, and more research needs to be done on safety and effectiveness. For temporary relief of insomnia, the following medicines may be prescribed:
- Short-acting sedative-hypnotics known as non-benzodiazepines. Zolpidem (Ambien), Zaleplon (Sonata), and Eszopiclone (Lunesta) fall into this category.
- Melatonin receptor agonists.
- Benzodiazepines (tranquilizers).
The National Sleep Foundation recommends that people taking sleep medicine begin with the lowest possible dose that is effective, use the drugs on a short-term basis, and take the drugs intermittently if they are using them on a long-term basis.
Treating Insomnia With Herbs and Supplements
While some cultures have a long history of using supplements and herbal remedies for the treatment of insomnia, such practices have only gained popularity over the last few decades in the United States and other Western nations. Check with your doctor before trying herbs or supplements to make sure they are safe. Some have serious side effects and others may mix poorly with medication you are already taking. Although herbal remedies may be helpful for some people, most scientific studies have been unable to prove them effective in treating insomnia. Some that may hold promise are:
- Valerian root (Valerian officianalis)
- Lavender flower (Lavandula augustifolia)
- Lemon balm(Melissa officianalis)
- Passion flower (Passiflora incarnata)
- Chamomile flower (Matricaria recutita)
- Hops (Humulus lupulus)
- Orange peel (Citrus aurantium)
Treating Insomnia with Melatonin
This neurotransmitter is secreted by the pineal gland and it regulates the sleep cycle. Melatonin is secreted at night, and the secretion is suppressed by bright light during the day. When melatonin secretion is not synchronized with the light-dark cycle, sleep disturbances occur. Frequently touted as a valuable supplement for insomnia, melatonin has shown only mixed results for insomnia in studies.
Melatonin may be useful for temporary sleep disturbances from a change in schedule (daytime work to nighttime) or sudden disruption of the circadian rhythm as with jet lag. Speak with your doctor if you would like to try it, particularly because there are certain circumstances in which it should not be used until more information is available: pregnancy, breast-feeding, autoimmune disorders, leukemia, and lymphoma.
Substances to Avoid
In addition to caffeine, excessive alcohol, and particular medicines, certain herbs sold over the counter can induce wakefulness. These include ginseng, ephedra, yohimbe, and cola nut. The hormonal supplement DHEA may also contribute to insomnia.
Putting Insomnia to Rest
Insomnia is a common problem that results not only in personal frustration and discomfort, but also is associated with decreased work performance, lost productivity, accidents, and hospitalization. Treatment for insomnia must be specific to the individual to achieve optimal results. Prescription medicines (sleeping pills) may be used to achieve short-term results. However, nonprescription treatments are commonly recommended and inexpensive, and also are effective. Talk with your doctor about several strategies that may be combined to help you find relief from problems with sleeping, and to assist you in getting a restful, complete night's sleep.

Excellent for everyday use Review by Cassandra
Price Value Quality These snack bags are perfect for a JK student's lunch/snack. They are easy to open by little hands and fit just the right amount of food. They wash well in the kitchen sink. I would not put anything wet/with liquid in them as they leak a little from the bottom corners. Food stays fresh, but will get stale if left more than a couple of days. It is so nice not to have any garbage in a lunch box. (Posted on 1/2/11)

We bought the grey version of this rug after much deliberation. Quality of rug is excellent, and we feel it was worth the money, but I will warn you that the pic is deceiving.

Cryan' Shames
"Sugar and spice and all things nice, kisses sweeter than wine" was the refrain heard throughout America in 1966 when Chicago's own Cryan' Shames began a successful sojourn up the record charts with the song "Sugar and Spice" bringing them into National prominence as one of the more versatile rock vocal groups of the late Sixties. BUT.... The group actually formed in 1965! A group of teenagers rehearsing and playing in garages and basements in the western suburbs of Chicago, eventually to become the first Chicago rock group to sign with a major, national record label, Columbia. The hauntingly beautiful compositions and intricate vocal harmonies that the Shames became so well known for, helped shape the Chicago sound in the late Sixties, and early Seventies. Each new album became a celebration of fresh compositions, innovative orchestrations, and exciting vocal textures. But the real strength of the Shames was, and is, their high-energy live performances punctuated by their strong visual presence that makes their audience smile and sing along. Now, after forty years and more than thirty-four recordings, the Shames are once again joining their voices in perfect harmony to bring back those memorable high-energy performances. Many of their past hits along with some new surprises comprise a show that has delighted concert goers of all age groups for the past nineteen years. Each of the new Cryan' Shames are extremely talented instrumentally and vocally as their show reflects. With each member taking lead vocals as well as adding their part to the patented Shames harmonies. Since their reformation in 1986 they have maintained a full schedule of appearances including such events as Taste of Chicago and Milwaukee Summer Fest. Concerts at The Rosemont Theater, Park West, Star Plaza Theater, Chicago's Symphony Center and appearances at scores of civic fairs and festivals, as well as clubs, corporate functions, fundraisers and benefits, achieving attendance records, accolades and encore performances! The past few years have proved to be the very best years the Cryan' Shames have ever had. The year 2005, the Fortieth Anniversary year, is already shaping up to top all of those. With their reputation as one of the easiest to work with, most professional, and entertaining acts of their genre. They consistently please crowds of all ages without breaking your budget. Proof positive that the music of the Cryan' Shames has stood the test of time is the nonstop requests for their songs on the radio and the recent four CD release of every tune they ever recorded. Continuing to keep their name and legacy as fresh today as it was yesterday. This, the Fortieth Anniversary year, is a very special year to us and our many, many fans. We hope that we can make this special show a part of your musical event. THE BAND: Jim Pilster, a.k.a. J. C. Hooke, (Latin Percussion, cymbal kicks and vocals) was one of the founding members of the Cryan' Shames. His on-stage antics and versatile playing add an exciting texture to the Shames performances. As one third of the group's rhythm section, Jim's Latin percussion punctuates every song with a unique flavor. "The Hooke" (which he wore and now hangs in the Hard Rock Café) continued his musical career with a variety of groups until the Shames reformed and still lives in the Chicago area. Rocky Penn, (Drums and vocals) maintains the meter-like solid beat necessary to carry on the Shame's tradition. Known for his expertise on drums, Rocky possesses a thorough knowledge of most types of music from jazz to rock to pop, and his superb vocal talents, lead and background, add immeasurably to the Shames sound. Greg Brucker, (Bass guitar and vocals) is the third component of the strong rhythm section that makes up the Shames. Greg's remarkable ability to compliment Rocky and "Hooke's" playing while maintaining his own individuality allows the Shames rhythm section to shine as never before. His wonderful vocal talents helps fill out the multiple harmonies demanded in The Cryan' Shames music. Dave Rice, (Keyboards, and vocals) is the consummate professional musician. The multi-talented Dave faithfully recreates the Shames original sound. His multiple keyboard set-ups add a rich orchestral sound to the group, but can also add some surprisingly 'funky' feels with a rocking piano and distinctive voice. Dave splits his time between several musical projects and teaching music at a school in a Chicago suburb. Jeff Rutter. (Guitar and vocals), continues the strong tradition of Shames guitarists. Jeff's ability to identify with many musical styles makes him the perfect compliment to the Shames. His consistently 'zany' stage presence along with an excellent vocal range blends perfectly with the group and its entertaining stage show. Bob Stroud, (Lead vocals), a long time Chicago radio personality with an uncanny memory for rock and roll history. His smooth distinctive vocal styling and strong stage presence honed as leader, for many years, of the group, Rockestra, places him high on the list of Chicago's finest vocalists. Bob has continued to stay active in radio as the midday personality on WDRV, 97.1 FM in Chicago.

_____Bio_____ Age: 21 Gang Affiliation (If applicable): Saints Personality: Quiet, humorous(if trusted), analyzing, a huge music enthusiast and will react with a blazing anger if any of his three favorite posessions are messed with (a Mcmanus sniper rifle level 4, Ipod touch, and a pair of Dr Dre beats) Background: An Oceanview native who has just recently joined the Saints. If anything he feels he is a decent addition to the Saints because of his expert markmanship, and hopes his skills will be used to their full potential. Dez grew up in a middle class home in Oceanview with decent parents and decent grades, and superhuman marksmanship. After moving through rifles in his youth he fell in love with Mcmanus series and currently owns to every Mcmanus model to date and carries his 2015(the one in SR:TT correct me) with him wherever he goes (mostly). After a brief career of as a Shinigami hitman he quit based on the loss of his parents and Fiancee from a Shinigami beatdown gone wrong. He was hunted briefly, after killing multiple hitmen they decided he was causing more trouble then his death was worth and they quit hunting him for now. Dez has become slightly emo and no longer has remorse for any his kills, whereas before the ordeal, after he killed somebody he would hate himself for a little while grieving for doing something to somebodies child now he just shrugs and goes on with his life. He cries secretly and frequently over his dead fiancee causing his voice to always sound gravelly and cold. He has come to the Saints for friendship, money and possibly a love interest. Etc. Anybody who touches his Headphones (beats) or ipod will get attacked even the boss Hint hint maybe you could do something like that, it would be funny Everybody knows what those are right the Dr dre beats? |

__Bio__ Name: Alicia ( pronounced: a lis sa) Pryor Age: 22 Gang: Was a Luchadore before their defeat now a Shinigami (Might change depending on you.) Personality: Pretty much like Killbane except she is a lot smarter then her dad. She can change though. ( hehe ) She doesn't blow up as easily either. She trains mostly with rifles, sniper rifles, handguns, and short swords. For up close she uses a short custom made curved sword. in her other hand she uses a handgun at the same time. She has been trained as a seductive hitman usually buttering up her targets before killing them male or female. She might even go as far as having sex with them before killing them to catch them off guard but she hasn't found a motive to do this yet. She loves to take advantage of people if they have been hurt in the past and she tries to become their friend before ending them. Her latest target happens to be Takeru. This happened after the raid on the headquarters when Katsuhiro sees him on camera. She finds him different then her other targets though and falls in love with him (cough cough ;) I think you know where I am going with this lol.) She has never had any relationships before or any boyfriends because her dad forbids it. This pisses her off like none other. The only contact she has with people is when she gets close to them before killing them. ____Description____ Height: 5 ft 8 in Build: Same as Tina's from Dead or Alive 4. Her chest is the same as well but slightly larger. Eye Color: A deep green with yellow in the center near the pupil. If you look enough you could get lost in her eyes. Hair Style/Color: Same as Tina's as well except her hair is dark brown. (brunette in other words.) Clothing:www.google.com/imgres?q=Tina+dead+or+ali... She also wear makeup and lipstick (You can pick those colors.) She also always wears finger nail polish. (Again you can pick what.) Weapons: Rifles, Sniper rifles, Handguns, and short swords. Doesn't matter the type she can work with whatever. Profession: Wrestling trainer and dance instructor for the public. Occasionally takes on a hitman as an apprentice not in public. Oh as a side note she hates Nyte Blayde. She finds him to be the most ridiculous person on the show and in real life.

'Miss Neo Pageant' explores what it means to be feminine, successful
BY MARY HOULIHAN May 9, 2013 7:46AM
Jessica Anne (from left), Megan Mercier, Leah Urzendowski Courser, Molly Plunk and Tif Harrison star in "The Miss Neo Pageant" at Neo-Futurists.
'The Miss Neo Pageant'
◆ May 16-June 22
◆ The Neo-Futurarium, 5153 N. Ashland Ave.
◆ Tickets, $20
◆ (773) 275-5255;
Updated: June 11, 2013 6:14AM
Women studies scholars will tell you that there are three feminist movements. The first began with the suffragettes and the right to vote; the second, of course, was the women's liberation movement of the '60s and '70s and the third rallied the young women of the '90s via the Girl Power phenomenon.
Megan Mercier came of age during feminism's third chapter with strong female role models in her life. But despite all this, now at 29, she looks around and feels she's "ended up in this weird limbo."
"It feels like being a teenager never stopped in some ways," Mercier says. "I don't feel like a fully realized adult. You're guided through life and then you get out of college and no one prepares you for what to expect. There's no structure and it's easy to go off the rails."
Mercier, the artistic director at the Neo-Futurists, the unconventional theater ensemble on Chicago's North Side, dissects this predicament in the new show "The Miss Neo Pageant." The show begins like a traditional beauty pageant but "wanders off in other directions," Mercier says. "You won't see anyone twirling a baton, but in a way you will see people responding to baton twirling."
"It's a crazy dream of a pageant with audience participation and sledgehammers and lots of costume changes," director Stephanie Shaw adds. "It's like a crazy dream where there's a beauty pageant except it's not, it's a bookmobile."
"The Miss Neo Pageant" was created by the performers: Mercier, Jessica Anne, Tif Harrison, Molly Plunk and Leah Urzendowski Courser. Shaw guides them through the process. She says the actresses keep one another on track while also keeping the show multifaceted.
"Megan gave the ensemble its point of focus, but each woman brings her own point of view, her own background, her own artistic approach to it," Shaw explains. "They counterbalance one another very well. We have folks who express themselves best physically, we have wordsmiths, we have empaths and we have rebels."
The show addresses issues of gender bias, how success is measured and what it means to win. "It also looks at how women feel misrepresented in art, media and culture and would like the chance to speak for themselves," Plunk says.
The women began collaborating in fall in what would become a 15-week writing process. The goal was to have an open discussion about things in their lives.
"We bonded in a great way that doesn't always happen because we have these dizzy, haphazard lives," Mercier says. "Most of what went into the piece is drawn directly from our lives."
Shaw admits the entire process of creating "The Miss Neo Pageant" has been an "odd process" for her.
Through the process, Mercier says she has learned something about herself. Positions of leadership and being assertive have often left her uncomfortable.
"I've often held back as a leader because I don't want to be seen as a bitch," Mercier says. "But I've learned here that I can be a leader and that people won't interpret that as another agenda. It's just a different vision."
The show was created by women for women and that has left its creators feeling they've made something special.

It looks like Taylor may be more smitten with the Kennedy Clan than people originally thought because girl is reported to have plopped down a cool $4.9 million for the privalege of being near them.
People.com is reporting that Taylor has purchased a house in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts across the street from Ethel Kennedy, Taylor's current boyfriend Conor's grandmother.
According to a realtor that People spoke with, Taylor purchased the 7 bedroom, 5 bathroom, waterfront home just last week for the bargain basement price of $4.9 million. The house was originally listed for nearly $14 million. Pretty good deal!
"It's in a beautiful location and right across the street from Conor and the Kennedys," the realtor told People.com. "It's a beautiful home. She got a nice home, paid fair price. The house was on the market for two to four years."
Wow, buying a multi-million dollar home across the street of the home of your barely-legal boyfriend of under three weeks (that we know of) -- or even just his grandmother -- seems either like true love or true stalker -- wonder which this will turn out to be?

The year of release. (1-11) Concerning the release of servants. (12-18) Respecting the firstlings of cattle. (19-23)
Verses 1-11 This year of release typified the grace of the gospel, in which is proclaimed the acceptable year of the Lord; and by which we obtain the release of our debts, that is, the pardon of our sins. The law is spiritual, and lays restraints upon the thoughts of the heart. We mistake, if we think thoughts are free from God's knowledge and check. That is a wicked heart indeed, which raises evil thoughts from the good law of God, as theirs did, who, because God had obliged them to the charity of forgiving, denied the charity of giving. Those who would keep from the act of sin, must keep out of their minds the very thought of sin. It is a dreadful thing to have the cry of the poor justly against us. Grudge not a kindness to thy brother; distrust not the providence of God. What thou doest, do freely, ( 2 Corinthians. 9:7 )
Verses 12-18 Here the law concerning Hebrew servants is repeated. There is an addition, requiring the masters to put some small stock into their servants' hands to set up with for themselves, when sent out of their servitude, wherein they had received no wages. We may expect family blessings, the springs of family prosperity, when we make conscience of our duty to our family relations. We are to remember that we are debtors to Divine justice, and have nothing to pay with. That we are slaves, poor, and perishing. But the Lord Jesus Christ, by becoming poor, and by shedding his blood, has made a full and free provision for the payment of our debts, the ransom of our souls, and the supply of all our wants. When the gospel is clearly preached, the acceptable year of the Lord is proclaimed; the year of release of our debts, of the deliverance of our souls, and of obtaining rest in him. And as faith in Christ and love to him prevail, they will triumph over the selfishness of the heart, and over the unkindness of the world, doing away the excuses that rise from unbelief, distrust, and covetousness.
Verses 19-23 Here is a direction what to do with the firstlings. We are not now limited as the Israelites were; we make no difference between a first calf, or lamb, and the rest. Let us then look to the gospel meaning of this law, devoting ourselves and the first of our time and strength to God; and using all our comforts and enjoyments to his praise, and under the direction of his law, as we have them all by his gift.
Deuteronomy 15:1-11 . THE SEVENTH YEAR, A YEAR OF RELEASE FOR THE POOR.
1. At the end of every seven years--during the last of the seven, that is, the sabbatical year ( Exodus 21:2 , 23:11 , Leviticus 25:4 , Jeremiah 34:14 ).
2. Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it--not by an absolute discharge of the debt, but by passing over that year without exacting payment. The relief was temporary and peculiar to that year during which there was a total suspension of agricultural labor.
he shall not exact it . . . of his brother--that is, an Israelite, so called in opposition to a stranger or foreigner.
because it is called the Lord's release--The reason for acquitting a debtor at that particular period proceeded from obedience to the command, and a regard for the honor, of God; an acknowledgment of holding their property of Him, and gratitude for His kindness.
3. Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again--Admission to all the religious privileges of the Israelites was freely granted to heathen proselytes, though this spiritual incorporation did not always imply an equal participation of civil rights and privileges ( Leviticus 25:44 , Jeremiah 34:14 ; compare 1 Chronicles 22:2 , 2 Chronicles 2:17 ).
4. Save when there shall be no poor man among you--Apparently a qualifying clause added to limit the application of the foregoing statement [ Deuteronomy 15:3 ]; so that "the brother" to be released pointed to a poor borrower, whereas it is implied that if he were rich, the restoration of the loan might be demanded even during that year. But the words may properly be rendered (as on the Margin) to the end, in order that there may be no poor among you--that is, that none be reduced to inconvenient straits and poverty by unseasonable exaction of debts at a time when there was no labor and no produce, and that all may enjoy comfort and prosperity, which will be the case through the special blessing of God on the land, provided they are obedient.
7-11. If there be among you a poor man . . . thou shalt not harden thine heart--Lest the foregoing law should prevent the Israelites lending to the poor, Moses here admonishes them against so mean and selfish a spirit and exhorts them to give in a liberal spirit of charity and kindness, which will secure the divine blessing ( Romans 12:8 , 2 Corinthians 9:7 ).
11. For the poor shall never cease out of the land--Although every Israelite on the conquest of Canaan became the owner of property, yet in the providence of God who foresaw the event, it was permitted, partly as a punishment of disobedience and partly for the exercise of benevolent and charitable feelings, that "the poor should never cease out of the land."
Deuteronomy 15:12-19 . HEBREW SERVANTS' FREEDOM.
12. if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee--The last extremity of an insolvent debtor, when his house or land was not sufficient to cancel his debt, was to be sold as a slave with his family ( Leviticus 25:39 , 2 Kings 4:1 , Nehemiah 5:1-13 , Job 24:9 , Matthew 18:25 ). The term of servitude could not last beyond six years. They obtained their freedom either after six years from the time of their sale or before the end of the seventh year. At the year of jubilee, such slaves were emancipated even if their six years of service were not completed
13-15. thou shalt not let him go away empty--A seasonable and wise provision for enabling a poor unfortunate to regain his original status in society, and the motive urged for his kindness and humanity to the Hebrew slave was the remembrance that the whole nation was once a degraded and persecuted band of helots in Egypt. Thus, kindness towards their slaves, unparalleled elsewhere in those days, was inculcated by the Mosaic law; and in all their conduct towards persons in that reduced condition, leniency and gentleness were enforced by an appeal which no Israelite could resist.
16, 17. if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee--If they declined to avail themselves of the privilege of release and chose to remain with their master, then by a peculiar form of ceremony they became a party to the transaction, voluntarily sold themselves to their employer, and continued in his service till death.
18. he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee--that is, he is entitled to double wages because his service was more advantageous to you, being both without wages and for a length of time, whereas hired servants were engaged yearly ( Leviticus 25:53 ), or at most for three years ( Isaiah 16:14 ).
19. All the firstling males of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy see Exodus 22:30 ).
thou shalt do not work with the firstling of thy bullock--that is, the second firstlings (see Deuteronomy 12:17 Deuteronomy 12:18 , 14:23 ).

- Some of the schematics in the AD951x data sheets show an LVPECL termination scheme which is different from the classic termination often seen (50 Ω to Vs - 2V, or the Thevenin equivalent thereof). How does this work, and how did you chose 200 Ω for the resistors? Can I use 100 ohms to improve the slew rate (or jitter)?

Some highly recommended drinks that just seem to go well with summer.
"Do not allow children to mix drinks. It is unseemly and they use too much vermouth." —Steve Allen Porch. Beach. Deck. Patio. Frostily air-conditioned inner sanctum. Wherever you prefer to spend a few relaxing moments during the summer, having a perfectly mixed drink in hand is as important as being in a comfy chair. With that in mind, we've selected a few of our favorites. Like clothing, we like the classics—made with the best ingredients—and find ourselves returning to the things that never let us down. And, while none of them require vermouth, it is ... Read the full story »

As the inaugural class of Loyola's Emerging Leaders MBA program prepares to complete the program, students reflect on how the experience has enhanced their business skills and helped secure exciting new career opportunities.
As a member of the inaugural class of Loyola's Emerging Leaders MBA (ELMBA) program, Brian Tahmosh didn't know what to expect when walked through the doors of Loyola University Maryland's Graduate Center in Columbia, Md., last fall, but he knew the program was the perfect match for his background—and his ambitions.
While his undergraduate major from Syracuse University was in newspaper journalism, Tahmosh ended up getting into radio while in school and interning for the New England Patriots. His first job was in sports information for Lehigh University, where he worked for just under a year before returning to the Patriots to pursue a position as a marketing coordinator.
"I did well completing tasks, but I wasn't as great at the planning, strategy, and analysis side," explained Tahmosh. "I knew I was good at my job, but I was never really going to rise through the ranks without having those business and leadership skills."
Tahmosh decided to pursue the accelerated MBA program at Loyola. The ELMBA program is designed for academically talented recent undergraduates interested in a rigorous program that blends classroom coursework and experiential learning. That experiential learning focus allowed the ELMBA class of 2011 to visit corporate executives, complete field studies in San Francisco and Barcelona, and intern at high-profile companies. Tahmosh secured an internship at Vocus Inc., a public relations and marketing software company in Lanham, Md., where the class had gone on a site visit early on in the program.
"During the second part of my internship I reported to the vice president of sales and the vice president of marketing, where I helped create a new segmenting model for potential clients," said Tahmosh. "There was more responsibility and the projects were more in depth in this internship than those I completed as an undergraduate—I've been a part of long term projects that influence the way the company does things and my work has felt a lot more meaningful."
The internship was meaningful for Vocus as well—the company offered Tahmosh a full-time position as a lead generation representative—developing leads for sales—which he will begin in September.
"Loyola helped me get my foot in the door," said Tahmosh. "And my business courses gave me the skills I needed to secure a new career with growth potential."
Tahmosh's classmate Alex O'Brien—a Loyola English major from the Class of 2005—also secured a position at the company where she interned during the program, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. O'Brien had held positions in writing and communications prior to enrolling in the accelerated program. She decided to pursue a full-time MBA because she wanted to gain the business skills to complement her communications background and prepare her for a successful career in business.
"My internship at CareFirst gave me exposure to projects and executives within the company that I normally wouldn't have at my experience level," said O'Brien. "The fact that you can gain experience during a full-time program makes you a lot more marketable, especially for someone without an undergraduate degree in business. It's a very unique part of a full-time program."
O'Brien's internship was in the office of the CEO, where she will begin working full-time as a strategic planning analyst after completing the program.
"I knew I needed the business skill set, but I also needed quality work experience in business and this program had both," said O'Brien. "The internship is embedded in the program, and the academic director is committed to finding students something that's of value and will pay off."
Many other ELMBA students have accepted jobs at companies where they interned, including companies Corporate Office Properties and Trust, Ellin & Tucker, and Stanley, Black & Decker. With the final days of the program fast approaching, two-thirds of the students in the cohort have already secured full-time jobs.
