I love this sweater! The material is soft and light. Enough to keep you cozy on a chilly summer night or crisp fall morning, perfect for layering. I saw that Swell marked the model as wearing a size M. I wanted a similar fit so I ordered a M for myself, despite usually wearing a S. I'm 5'4" 100 lbs. The M was perfect and gave me the relaxed fit I was hoping for. Recommend!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Right on Matt...
Here is what I'm thinking:
Forbes is a magazine about money, and somewhat about business. That is
their MO and their strength. They are also U.S. centric in a way that they
don't understand that htey are. Forbes making these lists of "powerful
people" is like if we did a list of the likely NBA MVP candidates. Or if
we went and did a list of the richest people in the world.
WE should be doing this freaking list. WE are the experts at GEOPOLITICS
and only we have the understanding of the internal political systems to
for example explain why person X should not be on the list because they
don't have as much power as their position indicates rhetorically.
I know we're going into lists and such as one of our products. Well here
is a clear example of one thing it is about time we started doing.

Yeah very much agree, it says more about who the US is thinking about than

And i'm not sure whether it was Forbes, maybe Time, but there is a really
great example of this in some of the major 'lists' of the late 1980s,
where the Japanese would dominate multiple high ranks, and needless to say
they suddenly vanished within a few years ... which might portend
something bad for the Chinese in this case.

(French sans-culotte, without breeches) In the French Revolution, one of the ill-clad and ill-equipped volunteers of the Revolutionary army; also a Parisian ultrademocrat of the Revolution. The working-class sansculottes wore long trousers to distinguish themselves from the upper classes, who wore knee-breeches (culotte). Allied with the Jacobins (see Jacobin Club) in the Reign of Terror, sansculottes included ultrademocrats of all classes. Their influence waned after the fall of Maximilien Robespierre in 1794.

Ex-Matteson SD 159 clerk charged with theft of $39K
BY CASEY TONER email@example.com May 10, 2013 7:24PM
Updated: June 13, 2013 7:12PM
A former Matteson School District 159 payroll clerk is facing theft charges after allegedly stealing about $39,000 from the district three years ago, court records show.
Judge Maria Kuriakos-Ciesil on Thursday set bail at $10,000 for Patricia Brewer, 64, of Matteson, at the Cook County Criminal Courts Building in Chicago, according to court records. Brewer is next due in court June 12.
A SouthtownStar investigation in February 2012 showed that Brewer was receiving multiple checks on payday and was issued a check for more than $15,000 just weeks before she was fired. After the SouthtownStar's inquiry into the matter, former District 159 Board President Elliott Johnson said the board agreed to give the information to the state's attorney's office.
Brewer's son, who has not been charged, also received more money than his job as a substitute teacher called for, records show. The school board fired Brewer and her son in June 2010, records show.
According to court records, the district hired Brewer in 2008 on a temporary basis as a payroll clerk. Later that year, former Supt. Ronald Wynn hired her as a permanent employee, which gave her access to the computer system the school district used for payroll and accounts payable.
In 2010, Brewer was promoted to the position of executive assistant to the superintendent. A new payroll clerk was hired when Brewer was promoted, but Brewer never relinquished her access to the computer system.
Court records show that between March and May 2010, Brewer allegedly fraudulently created three checks from the school district's accounts payable account. The checks allegedly bore Wynn's signature, were made payable to Brewer totaling $39,000, and she deposited them into her checking account.
Brewer previously told the SouthtownStar that she could not explain the checks.
"There's a lot of animosity in the district and I don't know what's going on," Brewer said. "Every penny I've got, they gave me."
Former District 159 payroll clerk Traycee Fox later sued the district for more than $1 million for allegedly being fired as a whistle-blower in the case. The lawsuit claimed that Fox told District 159 Supt. Barbara Mason in May 2010 about an "apparent misappropriation of funds" by Mason's assistant, Brewer.
Mason threatened to fire Fox if word got out about the missing money, according to the suit, and Fox was dismissed in September 2011.
Fox, who settled the case in January for less than $20,000, was elected to the District 159 Board in April. She declined comment.
Johnson said Friday the SouthtownStar "put the onus" on the board to act on the missing funds.
"It's about time, first of all," Johnson said. "It took long enough. I kind of wish that this could have been resolved at the point when it was first discovered."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says former Defense Secretary Robert Gates was a "very good colleague" and says her main takeaway from his new book is his admiration for both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Clinton was asked about Gates' book during a speech to auto dealers. She did not address a passage in the book in which Gates says he heard Clinton say her opposition to a 2007 troop surge in Iraq was dictated by campaign politics.
Clinton says Gates respected the way both presidents "stepped up and made decisions whether you agreed with them or not."
She says her biggest regret as secretary of state was the killing of four Americans in the 2012 attacks on a diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. She calls it "a terrible tragedy."

One of my heroes died recently, someone who made the world a more hospitable place. Heidi Moll Schoedel co-founded and for nearly 25 years directed Exodus World Service, a charitable, volunteer organization that assists refugees from all over the world at building new lives in the Chicago area.
Only 51 at the time of her death, she leaves as her legacy not only a loving family, but thousands of strangers forced from distant homes and homelands, welcomed here with donations of basic necessities for setting up housekeeping, and more importantly perhaps, with the gifts of time and friendship, crucial graces that can eventually turn exile into a place of belonging.
This is holy work. Scriptures of all major religions prescribe and encourage hospitality. Torah commands Jews to love the strangers and sojourners in their midst and to treat them like family, "for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt." Jesus placed welcoming strangers high on the list of criteria by which the nations will be judged, and the Qur'an teaches that genuine hospitality includes not only feeding guests and strangers, but showing them love, respect and peace.
The oldest, most common biblical word for working "salvation" or "deliverance" means literally "to make a place" for someone. Even the Almighty makes hospitality a top priority.
People engaged in the "hospitality industry" have become pros at this work. Hotels, restaurants, theme parks and cruise lines make billions on hospitality, and after our travels abroad this summer, my wife and I can attest not only to the persistent care with which so many who pursue this vocation cultivate a culture of hospitality, but also the deep sense of gratitude it creates in recipients.
We asked ourselves repeatedly how we might bottle this generosity of spirit. What if we all made hospitality our calling?
Surely others have entertained similar dreams and resolves. Yet, most of us who don't earn a living by practicing hospitality find it difficult to make room for strangers and foreigners.
The most recent immigration reform bill is hung up somewhere between the Senate and House of Representatives. It may well perish there, leaving our millions of "undocumented" neighbors in limbo a while longer.
The trail of attitudes and actions that has George Zimmerman on trial for murder in Florida began with instinctive suspicions about folks who don't look like "us" or belong in our neighborhoods.
Why do we fail at hospitality? We fear being used, perhaps, and suppose those "others" will take and take and never give back. Also, like many four-legged critters, we're a turf-protecting species. Moreover, we commonly assume that the neighborhoods, cities and nations we have created will last forever and always look as they do now, or become even brighter and shinier.
History, as I witnessed repeatedly last month in the ruins of several ancient cities, teaches us that nothing lasts — not our ethnic or religious ratios, not our cities and institutions, and certainly not ourselves. We are transients here, and guests. The world doesn't belong to any of us. We're merely passing through.
Which perhaps explains why in several ancient languages, the words for "host" and "guest" or "stranger" are the same. Ultimately, there's no difference between the two. Gathered at a table, each receives something precious from the other.
As its mission statement asserts about the form of welcoming it practices, "Exodus World Service transforms the lives of refugees and volunteers." Both hosts and guests reap in abundance when crossing paths in a spirit of hospitality. And each of us gets oh, so little time in which to receive its sweet graces.

While much has been done in the years since the enactment of Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 to ensure that sex is not a factor in one's employment, there is still an ongoing discrepancy in the number of women entering, and remaining in, the fields of chemistry and its allied sciences.
For example, according to the National Science Foundation, women received roughly 50 percent of the number of bachelor's degrees awarded in chemistry in 2004, yet they only received 30 percent of the number of doctoral degrees awarded. In addition, according to Chemical and Engineering News, only 27 of the top 50 chemistry departments in the United States could boast a 15 percent or greater critical mass of women faculty members.

Damned (PC, £12)
This multiplayer game, available on Steam Early Access, puts up to four players in the shoes of a luckless victim in a horror story – with one player taking on the role of the monster that's hunting them.
The monster can switch between an invisible form, in which it can't harm or see the other players, and a corporeal body – which it can only maintain for a short time. It's basically an extended, spooky take on hide and seek – and it's set in randomly-generated maps, so you get a different experience every time you play.
More after the break...
The Wicker Man 40th Anniversary Edition 3-disc Blu-ray (£30)
Forget the laughable Nicolas Cage remake – the original version of The Wicker Man is one of the most genuinely eerie horror films ever made. As stuffy, uptight policeman Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) investigates the disappearance of a young girl on the remote Summer Isle, he soon discovers that its pagan inhabitants are not all they seem.
To say any more would spoil it, but horror veteran Christopher Lee – who stars as Lord Summerisle – cites it as his favourite film out of all the ones he's worked on. And if you can't trust Dracula, who can you trust?
The film was chopped up by its distributors, but the new Blu-ray release uses material sourced from the Harvard University archive to restore it to its original (hand of) glory. Check out horror expert David Miller's overview of the film, and its impact, here.
Zombies!!! board game (£22)
Having a spooky night in? This classic board game is a no-brainer. It tasks you and up to four other players with surviving the zombie apocalypse and reaching the helipad (or killing 25 zombies); get caught by one of the shuffling undead and you're booted back to the starting square and lose half your zombie kills.
Once you reach the later stages of the game, you need to keep an eye on fellow survivors – betrayals are as commonplace as in a George Romero movie. Don't fancy faffing about with a physical board? You can also pick the game up as an iOS app.

Celebrity pastor charged
Published: Thursday | June 18, 2009
Reverend Dr Paul Lewis preaches to worshippers during a church service. - FILE
The Jamaican-born international pastor, who allegedly gave two teenage girls money in exchange for sexual favours, was remanded when he appeared in the Savanna-la-mar Resident Magistrate's Court late yesterday afternoon.
He has been remanded until July 7.
The police yesterday afternoon charged the accused, Reverend Dr Paul Lewis, with carnal abuse and indecent assault following an interrogation which lasted more than two hours.
Lewis was arrested at a crusade in Little London, Westmoreland, after he allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old girl and kissed and fondled a 14-year-old on Saturday.
According to reports, Lewis met the 14-year-old girl at the crusade and the two exchanged numbers.
It is alleged that he invited the girl to go with him on a trip to Clarendon.
The teenager then asked her 15-year-old friend to accompany her.
The police say that, while on the journey, the pastor fondled and kissed both of the girls.
He later reportedly took the girls to a hotel in Negril on his return to Westmoreland, where it is alleged that he had sex with the 15-year-old twice while the other teenager watched.
He then gave them sums of $5,000 and $3,000 each.
Residents who saw the pastor with the girls got suspicious and called the police.
The girls, who were questioned, admitted to the allegations.
Baptised ninja man
Lewis, well known locally for baptising popular entertainer Desmond Ballentine, also known as Ninja Man, is a Jamaican who migrated to the United States at the age of 12.
He pursued a bachelor of science degree in biblical studies and theology and holds an MBA in theology and a PhD in divinity.
He is an ordained minister who is the founder and president of The Messengers For Christ Ministries World Healing Center, based in New York.
His ministry has other offices in Jamaica, Barbados, Antigua, Trinidad, the United Kingdom and Germany.
He is also an author and recently published the book, Walking in the Spirit.

More InfoWe use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!
Learn more about our free engravingAll of our collars, unless otherwise noted on the collar's page, are measured to the center hole for a TRUE neck size. Simply measure your dog's neck at the base for the proper collar size. There should always be enough room to slip one finger between your pet's neck and the collar, so do this as you determine your dog's neck size. The measurement of your dog's neck is the size of the collar it needs.
You don't buy pants for yourself that are a certain measurement and add or subtract several inches to get your true pants measurement, right? Why should you do that for your dog?

Method 2) Wrap a string around your dogs neck with two fingers between his skin and the string. Mark the string and then measure the length of it.

These leather personalized collars come with a stainless steel nameplate that fits up to 4 lines of personalized information in your choice of 13 fonts. That's plenty of space for your dog's name and owner contact information. At dogIDs, we use a strong fiber laser to engrave our collars – meaning that every collar is engraved to the highest quality and precision and will not wear off. We guarantee it for the life of your pet.

Field Report: Arrakis Systems Digilink-Xtreme
Making it work
It was obvious from the start that Arrakis was very interested in making it work for us. Customer support and phone training is included. What really impressed us was how easy and effective different features worked. Voice tracking can be time consuming and sometimes painful, but with the Xtreme it is as simple as a couple clicks. Being an on-air personality, it makes a difference to voice track an entire week in a matter of hours. You can also schedule recordings for the entire week. Once it is set up, it automatically records and re-records over news feeds (any satellite source) so that we can play it back at a later time. When I am live, I love to use the jingle (hot key) wall. Anyone who has used a hot-key feature knows how important it is for live shows.
The phoner recorder is also very easy to use and great for when you're live. With a couple clicks you can record, trim and save a recording. Instantly it goes to the library, which makes it easy to throw into the on-air playlist at the last second. The Digilink-Xtreme had evolved quite a bit from the DL-3 and -4 and has perfected a lot of what I like about automation.
Another thing that impressed me from the start was its stability. Automation systems can certainly struggle at times, but we found the Digilink-Xtreme to be a step ahead. When you have 10 stations, stability of an automation system can either be a nightmare or a relief, and we found the Digilink-Xtreme to make our lives easier.
After a year and a half of seeing the benefits of the Digilink-Xtreme for Winona, we decided to purchase the Xtreme for the five other stations at Lakes Radio. Again, this decision was a lot easier since it was only $100 per station. We also liked having uniformity between stations.
Both Winona and Lakes Radio have five stations and each are linked by a simple network. Networking with the Digilink-Xtreme is easy and 100 percent necessary with this many stations. Instead of creating multiple cuts for multiple stations, we are able to drop a spot into multiple stations quickly. The on-air personality can start a track on the on-air machine while traffic can be reconciled on a computer next door; all the while scheduling/programming is done in a room on the other side of the building. The software for the production and traffic computers all came included at no additional charge.

In a time when the economy can shift in a day, the Xtreme has been a real asset; one less expenditure to stress about. It has given us flexibility when we needed it and it makes a difference. It is refreshing when your automation works for you, instead of you working for the automation.
We also get updates for our stations every year included with the Xtreme at no charge. The 2010 update has a great new look and it seems like the look and feel of the system has really come together. We've looked at other systems over the years and never found anything that would work this well for the price. As I said before, quality equipment can really make a difference, and the Digilink-Xtreme has been a pleasure.

Ames, Iowa 50011-2271
Office Phone: (515) 294-3124
Dr. Bong Wie is a Vance Coffman Endowed Chair Professor of Aerospace Engineering here at Iowa State University, and is the Director of both the Asteroid Research Deflection Center (ADRC) and the Space Systems & Controls Laboratory (SSCL). Dr. Wie received his B.S. of Aeronautical Engineering from Seoul National University in 1975. He then received his M.S. and Ph.D in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University in 1978 and 1981, respectively.
Dr. Wie has published almost 150 papers and journals and holds three U.S. Patents. His textbook, Space Vehicle Dynamics and Control was published in 1998, and a second edition was also published in 2008. His principal areas of research include Space Vehicle Dynamics and Control, Analysis and Design of Flight Control Systems for Advanced Launch Vehicles, Solar Sail Flight Control Systems Development, Singularity Escape/Avoidance Steering Logic Development for Control Moment Gyros, Mission Analysis and Design for Intercepting, Impacting, and Deflecting Near-Earth Asteroids, and Asteroid Deflection Using High-Energy and Low-Energy (Gravity-Tractor) Approaches.
Professor Bong Wie worked at Ford Aerospace Corporation in Palo Alto, CA upon receiving his Ph.D for four years, until becoming an Assistant Professor at The University of Texas at Austin. He remained there until 1989 when he accepted an Associate Professor position at Arizona State University and then was promoted to Professor in 1992. In 2007, Wie left ASU and came to Iowa State University, where he now holds the title of Vance Coffman Endowed Chair Professor.
Dr. John Basart
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering
2271 Howe Hall, Room 3261
Ames, Iowa 50011-2271
Office Phone: (515) 294-8487
Dr. John Basart joined the ADRC in 2008, when it was created. Dr. Basart received his BS, MS, and Ph.D degrees all at Iowa State University in Electrical Engineering. He is now a Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering here at Iowa State and his area of expertise is in Electromagnetics and Signal/Image Processing, although he likes to consider himself a "generalist," with a little bit of knowledge in everything.
Dr. Basart worked in the Air Force repairing electrical systems on KC-97 and B-47 medium-range bombers after high school. Then, after graduating from Iowa State, he accepted a post-doctoral position at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville, VA. After two years there, he was invited to return to Iowa State and create a radio astronomy program. After 10 years at ISU, he left for Socorro, NM to work for the NRAO's VLA radio telescope for several years, before coming back to Iowa State in 1981. In 1985, Dr. Basart joined the newly formed Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) with a split appointment between the Electrical Engineering Department and the CNDE. In 1990 he became the ISU Campus Coordinator for the Iowa Space Grant Consortium. He continued these activities until his retirement in 2000. During his tenure in the Electrical Engineering Department, he created many courses with the final course being AerE/EE 264, a sophomore-level course designed to attract technically oriented, by non-aerospace students to encourage them to become involved in space-related activities. He has been volunteering at Iowa State since retirement, teaching a few courses, and mentoring Senior Design projects in addition to his work at the ADRC. He retains his interest in NDE as an associate editor with the journal NDT & E International.
At the ADRC, Dr. Basart is currently involved in researching the Yarkovsky Effect. This is a phenomenon caused by the sun heating one side of a rotating body in space. As the object rotates, the warmest location on the body is not directly "beneath" the sun, but off to one side due to thermal inertia. Due to its warmth, the body radiates electromagnetic radiation in the infrared portion of the spectrum. The infrared photons carry momentum causing a recoil force on the body with the tangential component either along, or opposite to, the orbital direction. This force component can either increase or decrease the size of the orbit. This effect could potentially be used in deflecting an asteroid if it were predicted to impact Earth; however, the asteroid would need to be detected far in advance as to allow time for this effect to have a significant impact. Predicting the amount of deflection is extremely complex, as asteroids are not perfect spheres or simple geometric shapes. Currently, Dr. Basart is working on simplifying the problem by analyzing simple objects such as rectangular boxes and cylinders in space, but this too involves differential equations with complex boundary conditions.

Polyphony has released another title update for Gran Turismo 5 ahead of its new DLC packs coming today.
The update brings the game up to version 2.03, and adds new My Home Themes and colours to the game, as well as a bunch of changes regarding electric cars and suchlike.
This comes in conjunction with two new paid DLC offerings today; the 'Speed Test Pack' which adds a special oval course and testing data to analyse your car's performance, and the 'Car Pack 3' which adds, among others, the stunning Lamborghini Aventador to your collection.
Here's the official change list for update 2.03:
- 12 new My Home theme colors and 12 new wallpapers for [GT Mode] have been added to the game. Please find these from the [My Home Settings]-[My Home Design] menu on the left side of the screen.
- Tire wear speed prediction has been added to the pit stop decisions in B-Spec, to prevent tires from wearing out completely during long races.

Manu Feildel's Five Ways French restaurant does a good line in solid French classics
In A View to a Kill, James Bond refers to French cocktails as "musical comedy drinks". You can see why with concoctions such as the Flirt Sur La Plage, described on the menu at L'etoile as a "favourite in 80s French seaside resorts" (enough said). The combination of vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry and pineapple juice tastes exactly like a Frosty Fruit. Similarly hilarious French cocktails include the Paul Bocuse. Named for the famous French chef, it's a mix of Champagne, crème de cassis and frambois.
Stepping away from the incredibly refined French cuisine he was creating head chef of Bilson's, Fieldel is now cooking bistro food. His onion soup, topped with a piece of toast and melted gruyere, is sweet with a good hearty soup while still remaining pure. There's also a cassolette of lamb sweetbreads and morels. If this is a little too much for you, the perfectly dressed salad of witlof and frisee and a scattering of walnuts topped with a piece of melted goats cheese on toast is a winner - it's simple, with the smoky, gooey cheese complementing the bitter greens.
Try the butcher's cut steak, or bavette: it's not a cut you often see in restaurants. It's cut from a similar to skirt or flank steak and has great texture and a very faint offal flavour. It's served here with bordelaise sauce (red wine, shallots and bone marrow) and a little Jenga-style pile of fat chips. The salade landaise (aka confit duck salad) is excellent: a mix of confit duck, breast and foie gras with frisee. It's about the mix of textures - the fall-apart fatty goodness of the confit, the creaminess of the foie gras and the bitterness and crunch from the greens all come together in every bite.
Speaking of all things canard, we're keen on going back for the confit duck and potatoes cooked in duck fat. And make sure to order the petit pois à la Française on the side. It's a mix of braised lettuce, peas, spring onions and bacon and we'd eat a bowl of it on its own, it's so good. The pear tarte Tatin is good without being amazing. Hunks of pear are placed on light pastry topped with a blob of crème fraiche.
L'etoile is the real deal, down to the French women chain smoking at one of the outside tables. French dishes are cooked with skill, served with panache and won't break the bank. Magnifique.

Retained Search
A company is only as good as its people. Our Retained Search Group attracts, presents, and secures top executive talent to compliment your core competencies. We understand the detrimental effects of a critical vacancy. Similarly, we have witnessed the dividends that a company can realize with the addition of top tier leadership capital. Few decisions in business carry these types of consequences, and offer this upside.
Needs Assessment
Your participation is key. We take a partnership approach to working with you. We listen to your needs, detail candidate qualifications and intangible qualities, and identify the human capital attributes that suit your individual circumstances.
Candidate Evaluation
BMG is committed to the total satisfaction of both the client and candidate. We personally interview all candidates presented, and take time to understand their expectations, needs and wants. In addition, we check professional references and verify credentials and education.
Presentation of Candidates
Your BMG representative schedules convenient meeting times between you and the candidate and coordinates necessary travel. We will not waste your time. We will follow up with a debrief conference after every interview. This ensures that all parties' needs are being met. Our direct approach guarantees that you will be meeting only pre-qualified, pre-screened and pre-selected candidates.
Negotiating the Offer
Most deals needlessly come apart at this critical juncture. We believe that our involvement and expertise in this area is both critical and unmatched. Your BMG consultant is committed to delivering a "win/win" scenario. A deal that exceeds expectations on both sides. We regularly structure and design compensation plans, position descriptions and offer letters that work. It is the ultimate validation of our service to engineer a smooth transition between candidate and client. Minimizing miscommunication and unexpected issues is our business. It's our job to anticipate the unexpected!
Post Placement Follow Up
As with any new relationship, there are particulars to resolve. Our approach to these is simple. We believe that if they are addressed in a timely and efficient manner, then most are easily worked through. When they are allowed to manifest and build over time, they take on lives of their own. Your BMG partner will stay in touch with regular communication intervals. These are typically scheduled in advance to ensure that there is a regular and consistent forum for feedback. At BMG, we believe that once the offer is made our commitment to the successful placement is just beginning.
Terms & Pricing
At BMG, our retainer fees are tied to efficient performance. Our unique "Pay-for-Performance" pricing model combines the best of all recruiting worlds. We marry the professional service delivery of traditional retained firms with the timeliness of contingency. There are no additional or hidden costs for expenses. We are dedicated to your complete satisfaction.
Our model guarantees our performance in 21 and 45 day intervals and allows a no risk option to engage our highest level of service.
The general outline of those terms is 30% fee based on the first year's estimated cash compensation. As mentioned above, there is absolutely no financial risk for you in the first 21 days. If you are unhappy with our results during the initial 21 day period, we will refund your money in its entirety. Your commitment represents a true partnership to secure an all encompassing recruiting campaign. Additionally, we are proud of a 100% success rate when we engage with clients under this model.

On March 1, Microsoft filed a trademark application with the United States Patent & Trademark Office for "Adera." The mark is to be used for "game software," namely an "online computer game."
No further information regarding the trademark application was made available, and as of press time, Microsoft had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment.
It is not clear if Microsoft's trademark application has any connection with the 2009 movie Adera. That film focused on the efforts of an Ethiopian woman living in South Africa struggling to support her children and to return to them.

Valrico Lake Advantage Academy
Plant City, FL 33596
About This School
Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system. See Valrico Lake Advantage Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.
In 2011, Valrico Lake Advantage Academy had 41 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Florida average is 15 students per full-time equivalent teacher.

Valrico Lake Advantage Academy Reviews
The school is normal, but we have tests or quiz's almost everyday and we are swamped with homework and projects that are due the day after the next. I dont feel like my teachers care about the grades I get but are just there for the money, I dont think that this school was made to take in any more new students.
The kindergarten teachers at this school are awesome! And the new building is very nice. I just wish I could say the same about the Principal. Also, the communication from the school is not always the best. But otherwise, we're happy with the school.

Amazingly, someone was actually available to play AH over the weekend, and we played with KiY, but there was one encounter that we encountered that seemed a bit odd:
Unvisited Isle
A monster is attacking a huddled figure in the shadows. If you pass the first Combat check you make against the monster, you may draw a random Ally or Spell.
So, does that mean that we draw a monster similar to "a monster appears", or is it more like the vampire encounter in rivertown, and this is implicitly a Combat (+0) check?

65 per cent of Red Dead Redemption's sales in the UK since release have been on Xbox 360, GfK-ChartTrack has told CVG
35 per cent of sales of the title were on PS3.
Disney's Split/Second was also 360-led, with 56 per cent of sales on Microsoft's system.
The title hit No.1 in GfK-ChartTrack's UK All Formats chart this morning.
GfK-ChartTrack wouldn't speculate on whether the PS3 stock shortages affected the sales. CVG revealed last week that the title was unavailable on Sony's console across the UK on launch day.
"It's the biggest title of the year so far and assuredly 360-led," GfK-ChartTrack director Dorian Bloch told CVG this morning.
"It's the second No1 for Take Two in one year - after Bioshock 2. It's also the first Rockstar all-formats No.1 since GTA IV, which hit the top spot in week 18 back in 2008."

This is cross posted in the Laundry forum. I think it's a question better posed here.
Have any of you installed the Septic Protector filter on your washing machines? Our new home will have a septic tank. I am skittish about a septic system because I have not lived in a septic tank serviced home in 50 years! The science behind the device leads me to believe that we should install it, but the seller's website photos do not show the installation into a typical standpipe. If you have installed it this way, please let me know if you have experienced any issues from diverting the washer discharge up to the Septic Protector unit. This is the link to the info about the unit:

My concern with this device is; What happens when the homeowner installs this device and forgets to clean it and then the washing machine pump fails due to the restriction of the flow? I see no warrenty for pump failure. I wonder if the manufacturer will send his repairman out to fix your washer? Or will he say "Thats not covered?" I use a .99 cent lint trap on my waste which I recommend. If you have a septic tank with two sectons, the first is the settling tank which retains matter that settles, and matter that floats (Lint floats). the down turned tube which directs waste water to the second tank, is drawing waste water from the middle of the first tank, retaining the matter. If your worried about septic tank failure, you should be more concerned with the products you use that go into the system. The tank is a biological environment and if you put bleaches, anti-bacterial soaps and other products which will kill the organizims, then you may have failure. Take Care Dan |

There's a famous quote on brevity, usually attributed to Mark Twain, though actually written by Blaise Pascal: "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time." It's based on the observation that writing more words actually takes less time, because you can just open the floodgates, whereas writing fewer words requires more time, since you have to edit and wordsmith to pare away the deadweight.
My personal experience holds this to be true, though I'm also trying to reconcile it with another truth: Online communications are almost universally short, and take almost no time to create — especially real-time communications like IMs and synchronous chat.
Look at it from the perspective of conversation — a person who goes on and on without giving the other person a chance to respond is giving a speech — a monologue. If the listener isn't able to respond, even if it's just interjecting a quasi-verbal "uh-huh" every so often, it stops being a conversation. So IMs, SMS and other forms of text chat are much more similar to verbal speech than traditional written works (where the author is the only party "speaking"), thus leading to shorter lengths.
160 Characters: More Than Enough? [EOM]
Now last week's LA Times article, "Why text messages are limited to 160 characters," exposed some of the rationale that the creators of the SMS standard used for their 160-character text limit. By analyzing random sentences and questions, they found that 160 characters was usually enough to express complete and useful thoughts, and that postcards often topped out even lower, at 150 characters.
We can see this at work in e-mail, when people send out an ultra-short message that fits entirely in the subject line. Hence the "EOM" (End Of Message) convention you see in some places — saves people the trouble of opening an empty e-mail.
Of course, this raises the question of why use e-mail to send that message in the first place? Before Twitter and other short-form messaging services, e-mail was the only game in town (depending on your groups' adoption of IM, that might also have been an option, though sending out an IM usually indicates the desire to start a conversation).
Showing vs. Growing in Communication
Anyway, suitability of a messaging medium is pretty dependent on personality and personal preference, in addition to any objective measures of length, reliability, synchronicity, presence, etc., so I'll just end this with a few additional, partially-baked thoughts on length & communication:
* On the writing side, it's easier to start long and then refine your way down to short as needed. Ideally, you want to be as concise as you can be, while still conveying the information you need, to prevent excessive back-and-forth communication. If you need to iterate and go back and forth, have a conversation.
* On the speaking side, it's better to start short — if the listener wants to get more detail, they can ask for more. It's a more useful skill for a speaker to be able to boil something down to its core, instead of blathering on to someone who isn't interested in hearing the detail.
Twitter is kind of a funny beast in this regard, because it's both public messaging (chat, or chat-like) and microblogging (which is more of a publishing experience). This crossing of communication cultures may be why Twitter evokes such strong feelings from lovers and haters.
Anyway, whether you're a long-former or a short-former, please leave a comment below.

After reading your blog for weeks, I think I've finally decided on a Sealy Reserve Firm. I thought I might go with the Reserve Cushion Firm, but think I need the firm model because I have a herniated disc. I also have arthritis in my knees/hip, probably back too. I've been looking at Macy's, but just returned from the Mattress Firm where they had both models on the floor so I could compare. I've never dealt with the Mattress Firm. They told me they are Sealy's largest customer??? Prices with both stores are comparable. Any advice on best store to use and best mattress. Thanks for the service you give to all.
Hi Kay. You choose a store because of the information you get and the customer service you receive. Online reviews are a good way to check reviews. The support in the Sealy mattresses will be be good for your herniated disc. You have to choose the one that will be more comfortable for your sleeping position.

Hi guys-
After reading several threads here on softener selection I did what was advised and called 3 treatment pros.I Have a BRAND NEW Culligan that was here when we moved in, only to find out it is a rental unit from Culligan. This Culligan system installed here now is listed below. Culligan
All claim I have ZERO iron on my private well (which all agreed was rare) and a hardness of 10gpg, which according to the maps I was shown is standard (MN). I have 3 people in the house and we may add a fourth. We have a Jacuzzi tub upstairs that is only slightly larger than a standard tub. I have no real issues other than a quick smell of sulpher when the cold water is run that disapears instantly, but to be honest I have not smelled it in a few days so maybe it has gone away as the house was vacant for 9mos or so before we moved in. Heres what each advised Commers High Effiency Series.
Culligan High Effiency
The Rain Soft presentation was so odd and the solution so over my head I will only put the price.
I have seen alot nice looking systems online including apluswater.net. I like the Eradicator well system, but I have read some conjecture on having KDF media in with standard softener media and that it is a HUGE rip off. I can install the system myself to be honest so I am not affraid of an online system or should I be? I'd like to get something to handle that suulpher smell jst in case it never goes away. Thats why I like that Eradicator system from Apluswater.net. What other info do you guys need to help me make a smart choice? |

KOTA: Once a sleeping town in the state, Kota later became the hub for IIT-JEE coaching in the country. As many as 35 institutes have opened here which help students crack the IIT-JEE exam every year. But a sudden decline in the number of candidates getting selected for IIT from here has brought to focus the quality of training that the institutes impart.
In 2008, out of the top 10, six students took coaching in Kota. But the success ratio declined over the subsequent years. Only three could make it to the top 10 in 2009, none in 2010, three in 2011 and just 1 in 2012.
"Kota is fast losing its position as the number one city that churns out IIT toppers. Coaching centres have decentralized and each city has a number of institutes, which will lower the number of students travelling to Kota seeking training," said P K Bansal of Bansal Classes.
The Union government proposing the idea to give 40% weightage to Class XII marks in the entrance has also played a role in shifting the focus of students and parents from Kota. "Just focusing on IIT and neglecting Class XII papers is not happening any more. So more and more students are staying back and preparing simultaneously for IIT from their hometowns," added Bansal.
The students who used to throng Kota after completion of Class X also show a shift in perception. "There is no guarantee that only those who study in Kota can make it to IIT. In fact, more and more IIT candidates are now coming from smaller places. Even this year, there are candidates from towns like Bhilai and Nellore," said Arpit Agarwal, 2012 JEE topper, who himself preferred to stay in hometown Faridabad rather than moving to Kota.
However, not everyone shares the same view. RK Verma of Resonance coaching classes feels that variations are part of the entrance and very soon Kota will shine again. "It is an all-India examination so from where the toppers will come is very difficult to say. Just based on a few years' results, one cannot reject Kota's importance in producing toppers," he said.

Can you mount something on the side of your tower cabinet that either stays in place or is adjustable for you to pull out and use as needed. The other thought is recessed wall lighting that would be recessed into your mirror somehow. That would be sort of like attractive can lighting. Or could you have track lighting that runs up and down your mirror in channels. You could lower them when you want to put makeup on or rise them to a nice level for general use...No I've got it, you could put a Rev-a-shelve type pull out narrow unit into the side of the cabinet to the left of the mirror. This unit would have the lights mounted and a mirror in the center of the thing. Can you picture what I mean? |

Sochi, the best mirror I have found for makeup is lit from behind. The ones I have used at various hotels have been large rectangular or square. No shadows, soft lighting, etc. I tried to copy a picture to give you an idea but wasn't able to. I searched under electric mirror. Maybe you could take a look at that type of mirror. HTH |
Enduring, I think I can picture it. I'm sure my cab maker could manage it. Essentially have a flat panel that can spring out with an electric mirror (ie a mirror with two bars of light on either side). That would be perfect for make up. I could also buy an attractive lighted mirror to sit on the counter. I wouldn't mind having the back mirror lit for when I do my hair etc., as I really don't do much make up. The area will be mostly used for doing hair, putting jewelry on, lipstick, brushing teeth, etc. I think two small tall lamps will give appropriate soft side lighting, but counter space is at a premium and the two lamps might look odd flanking that 24" vanity space. If I move one lamp to the right of the sink the light on my face would be uneven. |

Are you aware of this web site that helps you figure out if a charity is worthy of your donations & is putting your donations to good use? It is really interesting & eye opening. Here's a few examples of things I thought were revealing: *American Cancer Society's CEO compensation = $2 million *I've frequently seen the Trace Atkins tv ads for Wounded Warriors (3 stars, 36.8% of revenue goes to fundraising). In this season of giving, I thought this might provide some helpful info. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Charity Navigator
Follow-Up Postings:
I used to do fund raising for non-profits for a living, so I am well acquainted with Charity Navigator. I'm so glad you pointed it out, especially at this time of year when so many people make their year-end charitable contributions. All non-profits have to come up with their "cost per $1 raised." In other words, what it costs them to raise a dollar. Some are much too high, such as the ones you cited, and indicates poor management as well as bloated staff salaries. Sadly, their are a number of organizations raising money in the name of military veterans who are guilty of this. Definitely check out your favorite charity before giving! |

There's no word for artists like Lee Greenwood — venerable musicians with a tremendous fan base and a well of inspiration for good music who are best known for one song.
It's not that they're one-hit wonders. In a career spanning five decades, Greenwood has had seven number one hits ("Going, Going, Gone," "Dixie Road," "Don't Underestimate My Love for You" and "Hearts Aren't Meant to Break (They're Made to Love)" among them), released more than 20 albums, and watched more than 35 singles hit the Billboard country music charts.
But mention his name and people think "God Bless the USA."
It's a single Greenwood released in 1984, yet it wasn't until the terrorist attacks in 2001 that the song became a pop national anthem. At that time, it became his most successful hit ever, reaching No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been voted the most recognizable patriotic song in the country.
"This one song has elevated me to a level of recognition that I never realized was possible," Greenwood says humbly in a brief phone interview from his home in Tennessee.
On May 10, "God Bless the USA" began its 30th anniversary year, a milestone heralded by a special exhibit opened at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, also in Tennessee. The exhibit, "Lee Greenwood: American Patriot," is named after his album that contained the original release of "God Bless the USA" and is dedicated to his personal and professional life
"This is the new place where people go to adore their artists," Greenwood says with a chuckle, his tone turning serious as he adds, "To be honored there is a very special tribute."
The exhibit includes awards presented to Greenwood from U.S. military and veterans' groups, stage costumes, a letter from President George H.W. Bush thanking Greenwood for participating in the 1989 inaugural ceremony, Greenwood's saxophone, honorary doctorate degrees from Cumberland University and Lincoln Memorial University, and industry awards.
Greenwood graduated from high school able to play most of the instruments in the school band. He relocated to Nevada, where he played in casino lounges for almost 20 years before being discovered by country singer Mel Tillis' bandleader and signed to his first record deal. Then life quickened as Greenwood recorded 20 top-10 hits in just a few years. He was named Male Vocalist of the Year by both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association in 1983. Two years later, he earned a Grammy for his song "I.O.U." and "God Bless the USA" earned the CMA Song of the Year.
When asked about the enduring nature of "God Bless the USA," Greenwood bemoans the lack of quality songwriting in today's music industry.
"As the music business has changed, the writers and the writing has suffered," he says, adding that people like patriotic songs and things that speak to their pride as Americans.
He isn't content to hang his cowboy hat on one song, though, and continues to write.
"I like the artistry [of writing music] … I love the spirit of the music," Greenwood says. "The creative ideas still flow and I am writing much more than I have in previous years. I always love to create something new."
He is now touring with some of that new music off his EP "I Want to Be in Your World," which was released this summer. New songs like "Here Comes Love, There Goes My Heart" feature his vocals and saxophone prowess.
Lee Greenwood will appear Friday, Nov. 1, at the Park Theatre, 848 Park Ave., Cranston. Tickets are $35 and $45, with a special discount for armed services veterans showing IDs. Go to parktheatreri.com for more details.
