An informative ACCURATE explaination
Accurate, informative, explaination and information on some of the uses of radioactivity
and byproducts of nuclear research....
but of course, it HAS to be propaganda
because it came from the United States
and the evil men who developed the technology.
Other reviewers take heed,
if you get inoperable Cancer, make sure
you refuse radiation treatment because many
of the techniques, research and materials
developed to treat Cancer with radiation
came from the same evil propaganda-
producing companies - General Electric
and Westinghouse.

Enjoyable propaganda film!
One of the most enjoyable propaganda films ever made, I loved this wonderfully animated film. It's very Retro, and since i like retro, i enjoyed this ad. If you like the animation of 50's cartoons, you will enjoy this film. It's very optimistic, Capturing a time before we knew the dangers of nuclear power. I'm against nuclear power, but that dos not stop me from loving this film. I wonder what people thought of it when it was released? I'm very curious. Worth downloading!

A is for Apathy
A classic piece of Civil Defense propaganda. Love that old CD logo. A pyramid? Laying it on a little thick there, "them." Still don't think its propaganda? Um, GE paid for it...GE! Who better to promote atomic energy?
While surprisingly informative for propaganda (iodine 131, take a note), its declaration of the UN being "Men of Good Will" is disturbingly hilarious. Laden with double-speak ("War for Survival") this globalist-animation makes the "New World of the Atomic Age" look pretty frightening. I mean those gouache matte paintings are gorgeous...but electric giants, mad german scientists and hypnotic kings? I see them in my nitemares. Try bringing in the NWO with puppies and daisies, fools.

The stylin' Atomic Age!
This is an excellent cartoon that's both very entertaining and surprisingly informative. The clarity with which it dispatches its educational payload would make it a pretty effective teaching tool today, and the animation is incredibly stylish. The film has the very optimistic tone and it's interesting to see what predictions have come to pass (medical research), and what have not (nuclear planes and trains!). Great stuff.
FortiethNumber -
I'd just like to make the point that this film doesn't say that 'men of science' discovered radioactivity like was suggested, what it actually says is: "...its discovery gave men of science an idea...".
This film is great. The depth is astonishing. The manages to touch on subjects like binding energy, strong nuclear force and Einstein's mass-energy principle - not in detail obviously, but it's all here...
Despite this though, it still remains really clear in the way it presents concepts.
I wish this was used as a teaching video when I was at school!

Space Age Design
The animation in this short is top notch. The visul design is true Space Age stuff, worth watching for style alone.

This is a very good film. The animation is extremely cool (not just because its from 1953). Also, the film is very informative even though it was produced so long ago. In addition, it is extremely interesting and entertaining. I give it 5 stars. Bravo!

Most informative!
This isn't bad one at all, apart of, ahem, cheesiness displayed by this era's films in general. Even when it's slightly dated, I wouldn't hesitate to use this as an educational film even today - with some further discussion and clarifications, of course. Quite informative.
trafalgar -
The definitive introduction to the Atomic Age, through fantastic, imaginative animation. An absolute classic, for reasons both intentional and otherwise, and a pleasure to look at. Highly recommended.
DrAwkward -
Though it has a questionable agenda and is especially glib about the reasons for developing and using the A-bomb, this film does a couple of things pretty well. It explains atomic physics to the layman in a very clear if reductive manner, and it sports some of the most beautiful animation probably ever used for such a purpose. The film is amazing to watch for the amimation alone.

A is for Atom
I really enjoyed the presentation. Although somewhat dated, the material presented is actually very factual. This would be a terrific film to show young scientist. Obviously it was created to usher in the nuclear age.

The Atomic Age Beckons
A is for Atom is primarily a pop-science film, intended to combat fear of atomic energy by explaining how it works scientifically. The result is an impersonal atom, less Oppenheimer's "destroyer of worlds," than a useful friend. The chain-reaction of atomic fission looks no more frightening than a game of neutron pool, and deadly radiation is similar to an ordinary X-ray, and kept safely behind concrete walls.
General Electric promises a flurry of uses for atomic energy, from power to our cities to isotopes for medical research. At this point, commercial nuclear power plants had yet to be built, and nuclear-powered trains, planes, ships were wonders on the horizon. Just as unstable elements are transmuted to lead, the nightmarish monster of atomic war is transmuted into a gentle giant of industrial progress.
A is for Atom leaves us with the message "On man's wisdom.. on the firmness of the use of his power depends the future of his children." General Electric meant that only the use of atomic energy would allow mankind to fulfill its potential. In retrospect, the lack of wisdom of GE and government scientists and engineers, who oversold the potential for atomic energy, downplayed its dangers, and rationalized the deaths of thousands of workers and civilians from radiation make the "atomic age" nothing but a relic of 1950s thought.

Spot the Propaganda
This film opens with an atomic blast and a brief mention of the UN as a force in keeping nuclear weapons in check, but quickly turns to explain nuclear power and its peaceful uses. Nuclear energy is presented as a force of nature that can be used for great benefit, as opposed to the common view today that nuclear energy is "scary". The viewer will have to determine what aspects of the old and new views of nuclear energy is propaganda.
Technically, the film is fairly accurate, though the strong nuclear force is presented as glue. The film's graphic style is very much in line with the 50's.
Christine Hennig -
A Is for Atom
This one should have been called Our Friend, the Atom. Think of a movie with that title and you'll come pretty close to this 50s animated film about atomic energy. It does a pretty good job of explaining the basics of nuclear physics (or an oversimplification of the basics), but its visual metaphors are simultaneously bizarre and very representative of 50s culture. Example: Stable elements live respectable lives in 50s houses, while radioactive elements spend all night partying, hopping from bar to bar, until their energy burns out and they become one of the stable masses. Atomic energy is always presented with gee-whiz awe, as the latest scientific marvel of the 20th century, and even though atomic weapons and atomic explosions are portrayed, it's not even hinted at for a moment that there could possibly be any downside to this wonderful discovery ("miraculous" is a word that is used frequently). The visuals tell the story, however. Atomic Energy as a construct is portrayed as a ghostlike giant man who looks sort of like a robot version of Mr. Clean, only huge. And there's lots of them, looming over factories, farms, hospitals, power plants, and other places atomic energy is used. The cumulative effect is that of an atomic Big Brother watching over us all. This is a powerful metaphor for the frightening presence of nuclear weapons and their mass destructive power, but it's completely unconsious, which makes it far more disturbing to my mind. This makes the film a classic of the atomic scare film genre.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: *****.

The Atomic Age
Excellent educational film from 1952. I'm from Idaho Falls, and visited that AEC (now the INEEL)site a few times in my earlier years out there in the desert. True, Atomic city was the first city to be powered from nuclear power. The 1950's were definitely an era of the education of the Atom since we had to prepare ourselves the Soviet threat of war during that time, for it was the height of the era of the Cold War. (Mr. Spuzz needs to learn a little more of our American history so he can be a little more appreciative and broadminded of events that took place in this country).
Spuzz -
B is for Blinding!
Interesting, if somewhat simplistic detailing of how atoms came to change our daily lives. Somewhat boring scientific mumbo-jumbo thrown in.. this is not the most entertaining film in the world, but is sure one of the scariest.
Red Rocket -
very enjoyable
i liked this animation short very much. great early 50's animation. and narration too. it is however a propaganda film produced by general electric. a big pioneer in the "atomic age". if you are ever on us highway 20/26 through idaho, stop at the inel (idaho national engineering laboratory) near atomic city. the worlds first atomic power plant is there as well as two nuclear jet engines. both were built by general electric. neither was effective. jfk killed the program in 61. you can also see the secert stuff in the distance.

So me and xhawkx just hooked up again after 2 years and are in the early stages of hosting a Hap2.0 scoring comp. This is purely for the old-skoolers, 2009 and pre-2009. You know who you are! Even if you're not old-skool, sign up now! Levels will come soon. This is the much anticipated return of xhawkx, and if you are a true FC player then you will know who I am talking about. Sign up now or forever hold your powered wheels!

Ok.. WELCOME to the final Round. If there is a tie, tics will be used to break it.
The Deadline will be Friday 8/11 @ 8PM.. Unless both finalist indicate that they have submitted their final entries, then we will end early.
Here are your levels
Samoa 440
Carabana 131
Techarc 130
(remember you must BEAT the lightning time to get it)
The scoring will be Haphazard 2.0. Total up your score for all 3 levels for your final score.
Please submit like this.
Collic : Link -20
Bunder : Link -10
Broast : Link -7
Total : -37
For those not familiar with it with Haphazard 2.0 scoring.. here are the rules:Haphazard Competition Scoring 2.0
Scoring will be like golf, where the lowest score wins, and is outlined below.
Not completing a level: +90
Each rod or stick: +1
Unpowered wheels: +2
Powered wheels: +4
A green solution: -10 or 1/2 your score, whatever decreases your score the most (use no powered wheels)
A rodless solution -20 (only wheels)
A boomerang solution: -7 (bring all goal pieces back to the build area, where they stay)
A water solution: -6 (only water rods used)
A champion solution: -5 (keep all goal pieces in the goal)
A brown solution: -4 (only rods/sticks used)
A lightning solution: -4 (beat the level in less than the recommended number of ticks)
A clean solution: -3 (clear all remains of your machine from the stage)
A sweep solution -3 (clear all remains of dynamic objects from the stage)
A hands-off solution -2(don't move the goal piece of the starting place)(won't score if it is outside the build area)
a Badgeless solution -1
Note: no glitchy solutions allowed.
Just to clarify a few things in Hap 2.0 scoring..
a green is defined by having no powered wheels.. that means if you use or or in your solution you are also green.. so you get to stack that.
a brown solution must include a brown rod, but can also include a water rod
a water sdolution how ever can not include a brown rod .
This will be an elimination competition.
1/2 of all entries will make it on to the next level.
if there is a tie, ticks will be used to break the tie.
If with tics we still have a tie, lets say between the last and second to last players in a round, both will move forward.
Here are the opening 3 levels:
1. Collic - http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?levelId=603809 Lightning: 520
2. Bunder - http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?levelId=603810 Lightning: 170
3. Broast - http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?levelId=603811 Ligthning: 240
Submission deadline is 1 week from today at 8:30 pm CST. (that is Friday 7/20 @ 8:30pm)
Multiple submissions will be accepted up until the deadline.
Please submit your entries to me (xhawkx) via PM.

The Composers
Henry Purcell
The son of Thomas and Elizabeth Purcell, Henry Purcell began writing music at the age of eight. His musical career began as a chorister in the Chapel Royal, but when his voice matured in 1673, he was appointed as an unpaid assistant to John Hingeston, who was in charge of the King's keyboard and wind instruments. He also acquired experience in organ tuning at Westminster Abbey and was paid to copy books of organ parts.
In 1677 he was appointed Composer-In-Ordinary for the King's Violins and in 1679 succeeded his teacher John Blow as organist at Westminster Abbey, providing him with a salary and a house. It was probably in 1680 or 1681 that he married. From that time he began writing music for the theatre. In July 1682 he was appointed as organist of the Chapel Royal, succeeding Edward Lowe and, in 1683, he succeeded John Hingeston as organ maker and Keeper of the King's instruments.
Purcell's court appointments were renewed by James II in 1685 and by William III in 1689, and on each occasion he had the duty of providing music for the coronation. The last royal occasion for which he provided music was the funeral of Queen Mary in 1695, shortly before his death. It is likely that he died of pneumonia, having spend the night locked out of his house by his wife. He made a will on the day that he died and was buried in Westminster Abbey on 26 November 1695.
Related Composers: John Blow
- MIDI FILE - Funeral music of Queen Mary (complete) (18'00'')
The re-opening of London's theatres in 1660 after the Restoration of the monarchy created a demand for theatrical entertainment. Henry Purcell's contribution, a great deal of it in the form of incidental music for plays, dates mostly from the last five years of his life, between 1690 and 1695.
The music for Aphra Behn's tragedy, Abdelazer, or The Moor's Revenge, was probably written for the re-opening of the Drury Lane Theatre in 1695, in the wake of Queen Mary's recent death. It contains some of Purcell's most popular theatrical music, including a Hornpipe that became popular in the eighteenth century. The Rondeau was later used by Benjamin Britten as the theme for his variations entitled A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra.

Fine! You win! The Molitor lot is cool!
Miller Park November 23rd, 2009
Jeez. You people are crazy for this place.
It's an extra 150 yards to save $7 I can use on beer.
@millerparkdrunk you sir are horribly misinformed. Giants lot is the best lot. Fast exit, pee hill, sax guy playing eye of the tiger
This guy doesnt know what hes talking about. RT @millerparkdrunk Molitor gets the shaft in new Miller Park Parking Lot http://bit.ly/1OiKND/
@millerparkdrunk the 'molitor' lot is the biggest party lot of them all! $8 parking, not $20. Maybe you'll make it in by the 6th, maybe notSome Random Drunk
That lot is the best lot at MP.Some Random Drunk
I have to agree, the lot is not too bad of a place to park. Easy in and out and not really that much further that the back of Fingers or Money, which is preferred parking thus costing more. I think Yount got more of a shaft that Molly.Al
Vince, the other commenter is correct, they named the three big lots after the three biggest names…Molitor's happens to be a ways away. As for who got a bad draw, did you see the Spahn lot? That might be Potawatami's parking garage.Some Random Drunk
The Molitor, Yount, and Uecker lots are where I usually park for games. These consist of the average Brewer fan looking to enjoy the game for a reasonable price in general parking; its really not a far walk. I think Spahn got the shaft here. That lot is terrible: theres no tailgaters, full of miller park workers, and you walk next to a junkyard on the way in.
Okay, I get it. I do. People like that lot. Sorry for bashing it.
In my defense I come from the south and normally park in the Uecker or Yount lots. When I get to a preferred game late they will push you forward towards the Spahn and Molitor lots. In order to get to the Molitor lot from that side you have to drive on some crazy back road (which I assume is where the Spahn lot is located, next to the meth lab) and then under a creepy bridge. I had to pay a troll toll to get inside Molitor's hole. Once there? The party was great, but I wanted to get to the game and I had to walk quite awhile to get there. (Through a parking lot! Under an interstate! Through a traffic light! Through all of preferred!) That's all. Sorry for dissing your favorite lot weirdos.

Fantastiskt resort precis vid stranden med vacker utsikt över havet med resande berg. Rummet var snyggt och fräscht, maten i restaurangen god och servicen utmärkt. Vid lågvatten fanns möjlighet att promenera rakt ut till revet för bra snorkling. Läget var ganska lugnt, men det gick att gå till andra sidan stranden på 15 min över en del som var obebyggd. Vi var dock väldigt nöjda ned att bo på den lugna delen och resorter gjorde att hela vår upplevelse av Ko Ngai blev en känsla av fantastiskt hotell, god mat och vacker delvis öde strand. Kan rekommendera till alla!

Accommodation and facilities:
A good resort which are getting a little bit old. But the most nice restaurant. Good food and nice cottages. Serviceminded staff. The only bad thing is the beach for small children, a little bit rocky with som corrals. But use the beach app 500m down the island.

Accommodation and facilities:
The strong point of this hotel is the location, which is quite unique in Thailand. Very quiet, natural surroundings, with tropical vegetation and palm trees lining up the beach. It is a bit over-priced though, especially in the high season. Bungalows are very basic, bed linnen and towels not very clean and smell not very fresh. The food is excellent! However, limited availability, especially of seafood (which you would expect to be abundant in the middle of the sea). The Thai staff was very helpful and very friendly. However, the supervisors where Filipinos. Extremely unfriendly people. Or when trying to be friendly it showed really fake! Also to the Thai staff they were very rude. I d suggest the owner to look into this. Besides this, if ur looking to get away of it all, Thapwarin is probably the best place you can find in Thailand

Packed Bed Reactor
Model ID: 238
One of the most common reactors in the chemical industry, for use in heterogeneous catalytic processes, is the packed bed reactor. This type of reactor is used both in synthesis as well as in effluent treatment and catalytic combustion.
The reactor consists in essence of a container filled with catalyst particles. These particles can be contained within a supporting structure, like tubes or channels, or they can be packed in one single compartment in the reactor.
This model presents a simple and fast alternative for studying macro- and micro-mass balances in packed beds and other heterogeneous rectors with bimodal pore distribution. The simulation gives the mass and reaction distribution, and the same type of approach for the heat balance accounts for the temperature profile in the reactor. The equations are based on simple mass balances for the macro and micro systems.

I love GoT LCG, so naturally my friends and I think about what cards we could improve upon, or create outright. Being a storyline bent player, I like to think op cards that would lend themself easily to G.R.R.M's world. Here are just a few ideas my friends and I have started. Let us know what you think about their concepts, & how balanced/unbalanced you feel they are.
Card 1 - "Change Your Ways"
- Type - Plot
- House - Any
- Gold - 4
- Initiative - 3
- Claim - 1
- Text - Choose one duplicated unique character in play. You may trade out duplicates from under that character. That character gains, "Immune to events this round, but must be chosen to satisfy claim of a lost military chllenge."
Idea - I am a player who carries different type of cards of the same character (i.e. King & Lord Robbert, Army drop Robb & +1 Str Robb, etc…) so I can use the one who fits best at the time. This plot card allows for a GREAT change of events. It can be used as a "King/Queen only" block too. If there is already an, "If Robb Stark is the only king in play then _____." You can cancel that out with "Change Your Ways" by making double renown Lord Robbert a King Robbert. I just see this plot doing MANY different & exciting things. We balanced it out with the claim satisfaction adendum.
Card 2 - "An Agent In Place"
- Type - Condition
- House - Baratheon (Possibly neutral)
- Cost - 2
- Text - Any Phase: Attache to an opponant's character. Once per round, you may look at a card at random from attached character's owner's hand. Then place it back into it's owner's hand.
- Idea - Like as the small counsel, under King Robert's reign, had spies in Danenerys' camp, so does this card allow a Baratheon player to know a little about their opponant. I feel that this card could use some work.
Card 3 - "The Viper's Venom"
- Type - Attachment
- House - Martell
- Cost - 2
- Text - Attached character gains joust. Response: After you lose a challenge in which attached character participated in, kneel The Viper's Venom to give the winning character -1 Strength untill end of round. The next round give that same character - 3 strength, and is killed if strength is 0. An opponant may kneel a maester character to cancel.
- Idea - Poisoned Spear & Venomous Blade are good, but neither of them do what The Red Viper's spear does to The Mountain in, "A Feast of Crows" like "The Viper's Venom" does. This allows for a long term effect. It balances with the option for ANY opponant to kneel a master to cancel teh -3 effect
Card 4 - "The White Cloak"
- Type - Attachement
- House - Neutral
- Cost - 2
- Text - Item: Attach to a non-King/Queen non-Maester character. Character gains Kingsguard trait & may only carry Item & Weapon Attachments. Any Phase: Kneel one influence to pay this card from hand to move it to a different character you control if you have a King/Queen in play.
- Idea - Every highly competitive player will tell you that Kingsguard and Brotherood are the weakest agendas. This will give the KG a boost.
Card 5 - "Kingsguard Cloak Room"
- Type - Location
- House - Neutral
- Cost - 3
- Text - Marshalling: Kneel Kingsguard Cloak Room to search your deck for a Kingsguard character. If you have a King or Queen in play, or in your dead pile, you may pay influence to marshall Kingsguard characters.
- Idea - In a Kingsguard agenda, its paramount that Kingsguard characters show up. Enter KCR.

I Love Pom Poms!
This past weekend, while attempting to clean my disaster of a room, I came across the happiest mess. In a forgotten drawer, amongst my summer denim and ratty pajama tees, a huge bag of colorful pom poms had spilled everywhere. (Why a bag of crafting pom poms was stashed in a clothing drawer will be discussed in a future post called 'how to be more organized'.) The point is—pom poms were all over my clothes and it was adorable. Inspired by my drawer's disarray, I abandoned cleaning for a more engaging activity: scouring the internet for the cutest pom pom pieces. Click through to see my favorites.

Want to be the seller who goes to market instead of the one who stays home? The difference might be a few of the things you do before you put up that For Sale sign.
It's a buyer's market. Your house has competition, and that means you have to do some work to get it ready to sell. So while your home looks great compared to the neighbor's foreclosure, it might not quite compare to that house a block over where, rumor has it, the owner clips the lawn with an electric razor. You don't have to spend a ton of time or money. A few simple tricks can get you market ready in time for the start of the spring selling season, especially if you start now.
Make it shine. Step one to getting your house market ready: break out the cleaning supplies. Give your home a really good cleaning. The problem is that a lot of sellers might not have the same perception of 'deep cleaning' that a buyer would. For that reaason it may be worth spending a couple hundred dollars to have professionals come in and clean. Two places where clean can be critical for buyers are kitchens and bathrooms. Having those rooms clean and sparkling can make a huge difference in the perception of whether a house is kept up or not. Windows and baseboards are crucial. If you're not replacing carpets, have those cleaned. The potential outlay for cleaning service and carpet cleaning is likely in the neighborhood of $300-$500 total. And it has a much greater impact than most sellers think.
Add square footage – free. Ditch junk and clutter to make your house look more attractive and spacious. A couple of pro tips – Laundry room: Make it neat and orderly. Your goal is to make it look like the room is plenty big enough for the job. Pantry: It's for food only. Using the pantry for general storage screams there is not enough cupboard space. Garage: If it's a two-car garage, make room for two cars. For a lot of men, if the garage looks small because of clutter there's an issue. While you're decluttering, you're also depersonalizing. You really need the buyer to be able to picture your home as their home. A picture of your kids on the nightstand is not a big deal, but you don't want the family portrait gallery lining the hallway.
Color it neutral. With paint, stick to neutrals. Personalized colors on the walls can be more of a negative than a positive when you put your home on the market. The mistake is the color selection. Opt for neutrals, which have broaker appeal. If carpeting is old and stained, replace it.
Keep plans practical. Keep any planned changes to the house reasonable and in character with the home and neighborhood. Don't lie to yourself. If the hosue has areas that show wear, get that work done before offering the home. Seek a second opion from your agent or a potential agent. A real estate professional can advise you on what repairs or upgrades will give you the most bang for your buck. The price of your house is going to determine what hings you should do. For example, spending $10,000 putting in hickory cabinets and granite countertops in the kitchen of a home that lists in the $100,000 range is not necessary. In that price range, you wouldn't get any more money for the house because of that improvement.
See with 'buyer's eyes.' View your house from the buyer's perspective. Pull up and stop right in front of your home, just like a buyer is going to do. Then let yourself in the front door, like a buyer is going to do. How does your home compare to others on the street? Is it inviting? Does it make you want to see more? Walk through the home with the eyes of a buyer. If you are buying another house, think about what you want to see in your new home. Pay special attention to the entryway. You want it to be open as much as possible. Look at the furnishings you have and err onthe side of less-is-more. When in doubt get it out. You want itto be open and bright with neutral paint.

fancy blanket
by AUNTIE OTI
After years of collecting utilitarian objects from other lands, in 2011 Susan Hahn founded Auntie Oti. Auntie Oti is a collection of everyday items from India with a special emphasis on khadi: hand woven fabrics made of hand spun yarn. The collection purveys the everyday of India, where humble and practical items are often multi-purposed in their functions. A gent's woolen shawl becomes an impromptu blanket. The utilitarian gamcha is a towel, a neck scarf, or a head wrap to keep the sun out. Unadorned simplicity and versatility is why they continue to endure in the pragmatic culture of India today. A seemingly infinite variety exists within a single category. Plain weave towels with their ever-changing borders, patterns, sizes and color combinations still serve the simple purpose of drying oneself after a bath or doing the dishes after dinner.
"The collection is an expression of my love of textiles, travel, and awe of the exotic." All items are produced on a local level. Many goods are made at home on a lone loom and each piece is personified by the individual hand of a skilled artisan. While no two lots are alike, each is beautiful in its unique way.
Men's Size Chart
Product Details
Hand woven blanket in mid weight cotton khadi with a distinctive houndstooth check pattern. Finished with fridge detail at ends. Works perfectly as a throw to add color/texture to a room or as a warm but not too warm coverup.

Whether changing careers or continuing your education, MBAs are a way to set yourself apart from the competition.
Survey any class of adult students in an MBA program in Chicago, and you'll soon discover that there's no one reason professionals pursue a master's in business administration. Nevertheless, the skills gained are universal in their ability to propel professionals. The rapid pace at which business is evolving has many MBA programs concentrating on the relevancy and timeliness of their coursework. Faculty and staff recognize that their students must understand how to bridge expertise in business fundamentals with leadership, teamwork and networking, in order to discover success.
"Management education is now more relevant than ever for both women and men," says Elizabeth Ziegler, associate dean of MBA programs and dean of students at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. "It's about taking yourself to a higher level – to propel your career forward, to open up new opportunities and to become a leader of lasting impact."
Many students enter MBA programs because they feel a career switch is integral to their professional growth. Donna Wu, a full-time University of Chicago MBA student, chose the Booth School of Business because she felt that the curriculum layout would prove more helpful to her as she transitioned from a background in engineering to a career in strategy and consulting. Booth MBA students are only required to take one core class in leadership development; the remainder of the curriculum is arranged according to a student's professional goals.
"I knew that it may have been possible to make a short-term switch and be successful," says Ms. Wu. "[But] long-term, as you're climbing through management ranks, it's almost required that you have a wide breadth of exposure to different topics."
While an MBA is helpful for changing careers, hard skills in administration and leadership remain the foundation of the curriculum. The expedited accessibility to management and training in higher-level thinking motivated Latia Howard to pursue her MBA at Kellogg.
"As I've moved along in my career, I've noticed a strong trend of who the key decision makers are," Ms. Howard explains. "When you look at the common characteristic, it's graduate degrees, whether in law or business. I chose the MBA because I wanted to expand my career opportunities."
Though tuition reimbursement for MBA programs is currently rare among employers, Ms. Howard, a part-time student, is fortunate that her company agreed to pay for her education under the stipulation that she work there while in school and three years after graduation. Ms. Howard happily accepted the offer; minority women with MBAs from competitive universities within the commercial insurance industry are rare, she says, and having one will distinguish her in the field.
Where are the Women?
"The need for women to be in positions of leadership, providing a voice at the top levels of management, is crucial so that we have companies, businesses and organizations whose leadership values diversity and the unique perspective each gender brings to every discussion and decision," says Joanne Legler, associate director of admissions at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
The disparity of women leaders in business is echoed in MBA programs. While women account for 50 percent or more students in many graduate degrees, women in MBA programs continue to lag behind. Most Chicago programs have a female enrollment that ranges from about 20 to 35 percent; at Notre Dame, for example, 26 percent of the Executive MBA students are female. As a result, the school's administration has decided to redevelop its recruiting efforts.
"We recently ran an ad during the Chicago Marathon of a woman in a pink outfit with a bib that said 'Notre Dame EMBA. Your next challenge,'" says Lisa Heming, assistant director for admissions and student services for the Notre Dame EMBA. "We know how important it is to elevate women in the workforce."
Campus organizations such as Booth's Chicago Women in Business provide feedback to MBA administrations on attracting female students and understanding their concerns. Sonalee Jayaprakash, a Booth MBA student and co-chair of Chicago Women in Business with Ms. Wu, explained that such organizations also help women network and build relationships on campus.
"Because there are fewer women, you tend to stick together a little more and have a community that's more supportive," says Ms. Jayaprakash. "Of course, you feel a bit like a minority in the space. But, when you go to the workplace, that's how it's going to be with men and women."
Ms. Jayaprakash works with the organization to dismantle stereotypes about women and men in business. At the Chicago Women in Business Fall Conference, a popular topic that was debated was work-life balance.
"When you typically hear about the topic, you hear that the woman wants to have children early and have a part-time schedule, but that's not necessarily what these sessions are about," says Ms. Jayaprakash. "They're more about, how does the family make the decision about what works best, based on what opportunities that are available for both the husband and the wife."
Increasingly, the skills and relationships offered in an MBA program remain significant to helping women reach their career destinations. Whether you're looking to switch careers or place yourself on the fast track in your current one, an MBA may provide the boost you need.

Consumer News Release
For immediate release - Tuesday, September 30, 2003. Contact Bob Brammer - 515-281-6699.
DES MOINES. Attorney General Tom Miller announced today that Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer and employer, has agreed to a battery of new policies and procedures aimed at cutting sales of tobacco to minors. Wal-Mart has 3,469 stores nationwide and 60 stores in Iowa.
"This is a very important milestone in the effort to reduce tobacco addiction, because most people get hooked on tobacco as kids," Miller said. "Wal-Mart is a huge tobacco retailer, and these steps will help prevent sales to minors."
Miller's office has led a multi-state effort by state attorney general offices to urge giant retail operations to adopt measures to avoid sales to minors of cigarettes and other tobacco products, including chewing tobacco and snuff. Forty-three states entered the agreement with Wal-Mart. Iowa also helped lead the states' team that negotiated previous agreements with other giant retailers, including Walgreens,ExxonMobil, and BP Amoco. "These are among the largest sellers of tobacco in the nation," Miller said.
"All this is crucial because four out of five people start smoking as children," Miller said. "About one-third of them will die from tobacco-related disease. Young people are particularly susceptible to the hazards of tobacco. This is a very important issue."
In Iowa over the last three years, Miller said, Wal-Mart stores failed compliance checks about 17% of the time in 228 checks made by the Alcoholic Beverages Division. Compliance checks involve minors aged 15-17 attempting to buy tobacco products under supervision of local law enforcement officers.
"There were violations in almost one-fifth of the compliance checks," Miller said. "Retailers need to do better than that, and we hope all these safeguards will accomplish exactly that."
The Attorneys General will monitor compliance with the agreement and they have reserved the right to enforce future violations of the agreement, as well as the laws governing the sale of tobacco to minors.
The New York, Maryland, Iowa, and California Attorney General offices were the lead negotiators in reaching the agreement with Wal-Mart. Miller said Iowa Assistant Attorney General Steve St. Clair of the Consumer Protection Division founded and has led the states' working group on forging agreements with major tobacco retailers.
The Walmart agreement, or AAssurance of Voluntary Compliance," is the latest product of the ongoing, multi-state enforcement effort, begun in 2000 when a group of Attorney General offices joined to form the Attorney General Tobacco Retailing Group to address high rates of sale of tobacco products to minors by national retailers. The Group currently consists of representatives from 30 Attorney General offices.
After reviewing data on sales to minors, the Group identified a number of retailers with both a large national presence and high rates of such sales. The Group also formulated Abest practices@ for responsible retailing of tobacco products, based on consultations with researchers, the Centers for Disease Control, and state tobacco control staff who monitor retail sales of tobacco to minors. The Group=s goal has been to work with offending retailers to reach Assurances of Voluntary Compliance, embodying the adoption of specific tobacco retailing policies and practices that would result in decreased sales to minors.
The Group has concluded agreements with Walgreens (the nation=s largest drug store chain), ExxonMobil (the nation=s largest oil company), and two agreements with BP Products (among the nation=s largest oil companies), one for its BP and Amoco outlets and another for its ARCO outlets. The agreements affect the approximately 4,000 Walgreens stores and 30,000 gas stations and convenience stores operating under the Exxon, Mobil, BP, Amoco, and ARCO brand names in the signatory states. Each agreement other than the ARCO agreement, which affects only the five states in which there are ARCO stations, has been signed by between 39 and 46 Attorneys General.
The states participating in the Wal-Mart agreement are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

2009 Lexus GX Model Change?
2 dealers gave me 2 different stories:
One, the 2009 GX will make body style changes similiar to the 2008 LX.
Two, no changes in 2009 and phasing the GX out to be replaced with another model in a future year.
I have a 2005 GX coming off lease in a few months, I love it and want a new one but only if body style changing as I don't want the exact same car nor do I want one that will be the "old style" within a year.
Anyone know what is happening with this model?

apshah Posts: 1I checked with Lexus online about a week ago (3 different reps). They have not made any announcements yet. I find that usually the dealers don't know any sooner and they typically give me an answer they think I want to hear.
I would wait as long as possible before making a decision. I have the same fear you do that the 2009 body style will change. If I get any reliable information, I will post it here. -
rappcova Posts: 24I was in my Toyota dealer's the other day and talked to my salesman about the 4-Runner. Since the 4-Runner and GX are "twins" I thought maybe I'd get a hint about what Lexus is up to. He said he "thinks" that Toyota is not going to make any serious changes. So the mystery remains. Toyota keeps its info just about as tightly as Lexus. But I find it hard to believe that Toyota is not going to change. The 4-Runner is --as the car magazines say--"long-in-the-tooth" and is overdue for a change (just like the GX). Let's all keep our ears to the ground and post back here whenever any word leaks out.
FYI - I had an 03 for 3 years and am 5 months short of 3 years on my 06. If they don't change it, I'll just keep what I have. I don't think I'd trade for a simple addition of keyless ignition and other "come-on's". I just hope they don't discontinue it. I don't want the giant LX, but I definitely want a truck. If they discontinue, I think I'd have no other choice but to downgrade to a 4-Runner when they finally get around to redesigning it. -
bmlexus Posts: 755I don't want the giant LX, but I definitely want a truck. If they discontinue, I think I'd have no other choice but to downgrade to a 4-Runner when they finally get around to redesigning it
LOL THE GIANT LX. I agree with you its so huge I am considering a lexus SUV as well but recentley it seems they are talking to long to bring new redesigned SUVs the RX should really get a redesigned soon GX is still the same and I think they should consider adding a newer SUV to thier line up. -
alexkoper Posts: 18I'm glad I'm not crazy ... I've been trying to figure out if there was going to be a new body for 2009. I asked several different dealers and have heard different stories. I heard that Toyota was re-designing the 4-runner for 2009 (current model has been out since 2003) and that the GX would roll the same body again for 2009 and there would be a change for 2010. I also heard from a different dealer that there would be not change planned for a while. i'll keep checking and post when i hear anything. cheers fellow gx owners!

dansgarage Posts: 11
hondachuck Posts: 1An article on the RX body change seemed to indicate that a "new GX" would not debut at least until late 2010 as a 2011 model. They hinted that it might change to a unibody from the GS model instead of body on frame from the 4Runner. They go so far as to call it a crossover replacing the GX so a name change may be in order. If you like the current body on frame, 4Runner-based GX, you have 2 more model years (2009, 2010) to snap one up.
simya Posts: 2I asked this specific question to our Lexus dealer a few months ago and was told that the 2009 will be the same body style, and then the GX will no longer be made for 2010. I was told that Lexus will instead come out with a new mid-size SUV that is more of a crossover (it won't be called a GX anymore). I also heard talk of a hybrid at this mid-size level.
lastlaflar Posts: 5Let me put to rest the answer to this question. The GX will get a redesign this fall and look for it to hit dealerships around November as a 2010 model. It's new look will be similar to the LX 570 - call it a baby LX. It will get the Smart Access Key (the key that you don't have to take out of your pocket - Push Button Start), it will be called the GX 460 and it will get a new rear door. No longer will it swing out to the side it will open "up" (toward the sky). No pics yet but if I find one I'll pass it along. Stay tuned yall!
rappcova Posts: 24This is great news! I've had my checkbook ready for months. I'd surely like to hear this news from more than one source. I suppose that not too many people are running out and buying SUV's these days, and so aren't looking too much at the SUV forums. Maybe the anti-SUV bias will remain and there will be some good deals come November. Hard to tell in this atmosphere. I've got an awfully nice '06 GX to trade in. Thanks very much and please keep us up-to-date.

nedzel Posts: 787There is no hybrid version of the current GX470 and I doubt there will be a hybrid version of its replacement. If you want a hybrid Lexus SUV, then your choice is limited to the RX hybrid, but overall I think that economics favor the regular RX over the hybrid
If the rumors are correct and the replacement GX is of similar size as the current GX470 and comes with a 4.6l V8, then gas mileage in the city will be similarly bad, in the 15 mpg range. -

lexuscarguy Posts: 3Production of the new GX will start in Dec 2009 with arrival in late Dec or early Jan 2010. Don't know if it will be a 2010 or 2011 model. If I were them, I would skip a model year like the RX450h and make it a 2011.
Only thing that Lexus has confirmed is the 3rd row seat will fold flat into the floor for storage. That makes me wonder where the spare will go, on the back like a RAV4, under the middle of the vehicle like a Sienna? -
mbd Posts: 12Thanks. There were 2 things I did not like (and could not accept) about the old GX - (1) the 3rd row seat did not fold flat, and (2) the rear door swung to the side. Now that they will have the 3rd seats out of the way, I hope they also fix the rear door to open up. If so, I shall buy one. If not, I shall have to search elsewhere.

While the possibility of afternoon showers threatened last Saturday's Jazz Fest celebration, the day turned out to be a hot but beautiful one—one full of breathtaking music, incredible food and all the friendly passersby you could meet wishing you a "Happy Fest!"
The walk up to the Fairgrounds from your parking spot is one of the unspoken moments of fest fun. Together you join ample fellow walkers all streaming from different tree-lined blocks, some carrying chairs, others carrying beers in coozies and others carrying nothing but the bright, summery clothes on their backs. You know that the excitement of Jazz Fest is in the air and all around you.
I always have to run to my favorite food first. Folks don't realizr that some of the food at the fest can only be found at the fest. So not only are you anxious to see some good music, your taste buds are screaming for Mango Sorbet, Crawfish Strudel, Crawfish Monica …just to name a few of my favorites. And the strudel is as good as always!
