Students pursuing their undergraduate degree in Computer Science or Computer Information Systems in spite of the "conventional wisdom" ("jobs have gone overseas") have been rewarded with exceptional career opportunities with excellent starting salaries. The field is vast and includes opportunities in a variety of industries. Our graduates have been placed in retail, manufacturing, defense, banking, transportation, telecommunications, health care and many other disparate fields. That is an indication of how fundamental this knowledge is to a host of disciplines.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts out the "Occupational Outlook Handbook" that can serve as a very useful guide to the diverse career tracks that can be targeted by students taking up Computer Science or Information Systems.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics also compiles a lot of data on the economy, jobs and labor pool. Relevant links with summaries are provided below:
Highest paid: In this category, you will find most of the Doctors, Judges, CEOS ... and Computer Information Systems Managers. The employment data shows that the employment is almost the same for CIS managers as all Physicians and Surgeons.
Largest Occupations in Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, May 2011: Software Application Developers make up 3% of the industry and make the 4th highest average wage (significantly more than accountants and auditors). Most of our Computer Science graduates head this way.
Largest Occupations in Management of Companies and Enterprises, May 2011: Computer Systems Analysts make up 2% of this group, but make the 3rd highest annual mean wage. Computer Information Systems students target jobs in this category.
Occupation profiles: Check this link to learn about various occupation categories and the usual duties expected of them. In the 15-0000 series ("Computer and Mathematical Occupations") you will find descriptions for Systems Analysts, Information Security Analysts, software developers and numerous others.
For instance, for "Software developers" (usually Computer Science) you will see the following:

As Phil Mickelson stood in the middle of TPC Boston's 15th fairway on Sunday his mind raced back 12 months to a similar wedge shot into the par 4 that clipped the flag and led to a bogey.
"He turned to me and said, 'I'll try to mss the flag this time,'" Mickelson's caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay said.
No such luck, with the pin cut in the same spot, six paces from the left edge and 11 paces deep, Lefty's approach caromed off the flagstick and into the rough.
In an ode to the power of positive thinking, or perhaps a cosmic make good for last year's rub, Mickelson called his next shot as well. "He was standing there smoking and said, 'I'm gonna chip this in,'" Mackay said.
The chip-in birdie helped lift Lefty to a 67, into a tie for fourth place and all square with the golf gods, at least as far the 15th hole at TPC Boston is concerned.

Discerning Your Church's Hidden Core Values
A lot has been written lately about the church and culture; most of it, however, refers to the culture around a church. Just as important is the culture within a church, the shared attitudes, values, and beliefs that define a church and shape its practices.
Fresh out of seminary, my husband and I began ministry at an established, 850-member church in a large city. During the interview process, we were impressed by the church's forward-thinking mission and values, and we were excited to join such an apparently dynamic ministry.
As time passed, however, it became clear that there was far more bark than bite at that church, missionally speaking.
Oh, the church leadership certainly talked the talk—about the need to be an "outward-focused" church, about the importance of having staff members who demonstrated "proven character and proven ministry," about the priority of "people over programs."
But in reality, the church was not growing, evangelism was not a priority, staff members were allowed to bully others as long as they got the job done on Sundays, and heaven forbid that a program be dropped, even when it was no longer effective.
It took several years to realize that the problem was not a lack of resources, expertise, or a clearly worded purpose statement. The problem was that the church's actual culture didn't reflect its stated mission.
As with any organization, a church's culture can be encapsulated into an "ethos," or a statement that summarizes its true guiding beliefs. The ethos is almost never officially articulated. It's something that is felt. This ethos is often hard to define, but that doesn't mean it is any less powerful. Ideally, the ethos of an organization should flow out of its purpose, but when it doesn't, the church's underlying culture can subvert even the best vision.
The ethos at our first church? "Don't rock the boat."
While that church on the surface valued outreach, character, and innovation, the no-rocking ethos meant that its actual directive was "Don't offend anyone; don't take risks; and don't deal with hidden sin." It took more than three years for us to figure this out, by repeated trial and error, but also by looking at our church's history, the personalities of its leaders, and even the culture of our surrounding community.
We also learned from experience that simply changing a church's purpose statement or core values does not automatically change its culture. One of our church's stated core values was "diversity in worship styles." Apparently the music director never got that memo, as he vehemently fought any efforts to introduce contemporary elements into the worship service.
At one staff meeting, the senior pastor emphatically stated that our church "was not an outreach center." Perhaps he meant a rescue mission, soup kitchen, or some other type, but his statement was clearly contradicted one of the church's 14 written core values: "We see ourselves as a mission center in our community." (On a side note, that the church once had 14 core values demonstrates the "Don't rock the boat" mentality: reducing the number of values to a meaningful number would have meant offending someone in the congregation.)

Height: 6-8 • Weight: 205 • Position: Forward • Norcross High School • Norcross, GA • Hometown: Norcross, GA • College: Wake Forest
A shifty athlete with great explosiveness, Al-Farouq Aminu is a threat to score in a number of ways. He is considered by some to be the top small forward in the class of 2008. He shoots with range; pulls up well off the dribble and can dunk with authority in traffic. Aminu loves to get out in transition and finish with high flying dunks. He is very long and athletic which gives him the ability to post up or beat his man off the dribble. With his body still developing, Aminu will only get stronger on the defensive end of the ball. With a 7'2" wingspan, he can play both forward positions and is a ferocious rebounder. Aminu will attend Wake Forest in the fall.
Height: 6-4 • Weight: 180 • Position: Wing • Libbey High School • Toledo, OH • Hometown: Toledo, OH • College: Ohio State
William Buford plays the game at one speed and one speed only; fast. He has a body built for contact and enjoys driving to the lane looking to draw the foul. Buford can put up points in a hurry also with his silky smooth jumper. He pulls up from three-point range and hits with consistency. He can also put the ball on the floor to take it to the rack or create space for his jump shot off the dribble. Buford has been a force at Libbey since his freshman season. Buford will stay home as he takes his skills to Ohio State University .
Height: 6-8 • Weight: 215 • Position: Power Forward • Benedictine High School • Richmond, VA • Hometown: Mechanicsville, VA • College: North Carolina
Ed Davis is a long and athletic forward that has developed a combination of effective post moves with his back to the basket. He can also face up to the rim and either shoot the mid-range jumper or score using spin moves, head fakes and a smooth jump hook shot. He runs the floor well, is quick off his feet and can really elevate. Davis shows his maturity by not settling for shots, but rather being patient and finishing with power dunks every time he goes up. Defensively, he holds his position well, which makes him a nightmare on the boards. He will join a talented North Carolina squad next year in Chapel Hill .
Height: 6-6 • Weight: 205 • Position: Wing • Compton High School • Compton, CA • Hometown: Compton, CA • College: USC
Demar DeRozan is probably one of the most athletic players in the class of 2008. Shooting the ball from anywhere on the court or making highlight reels with his Lebron like dunks gives him the ability to score at will. DeRozan brings his strong competitive nature every game, but more impressively, he truly is a team player. His quick first step makes is nearly impossible to keep up with him and has taken his Compton High School team from the bottom to the top. They went from 4-8 to 11-1 and getting national recognition all behind the spectacular abilities he has to offer. He is a friend and AAU teammate of rapper Romeo "Lil' Romeo" Miller who will also attend Southern California .
Height: 6-9 • Weight: 253 • Position: Power Forward • Farragut Career Academy • Chicago, IL • Hometown: Chicago, IL • College: Oregon
Michael Dunigan is following in the footsteps of Kevin Garnett who was also a graduate of Chicago Farragut Academy . The No. 1 ranked player in Chicago is a traditional big man who likes to post up and draw contact. He is a long and athletic post player with a lot of potential. Dunigan is very aggressive when getting the ball around the basket as he always tries to finish with authority. He has a solid midrange game that he mixes in with his back to the basket moves. He dominates on both ends of the floor with his size and great understanding of the game. He started all four years at Farragut and has been an impact since his first day. He will join the University of Oregon next season and looks to have an immediate impact in the PAC 10.
Height: 6-8 • Weight: 185 • Position: Small Forward • St. Thomas More School • Oakdale, CT • Hometown: Queens, NY • College: Indiana
A top player in the class of 2008, Devin Ebanks has a rare combination of ability that allows him to play with his back to the basket while also shooting the ball well with range. He maneuvers his way to the basket like a guard, and possesses great body control. Ebanks is able to find the open man and deliver the ball with precision. Given his size and quick first step he can easily get around slower players. He uses his great basketball IQ on shot selection and rarely makes mistakes. On the defensive end he is quick enough to lockdown smaller guards and big enough to guard the post player. He will make an immediate impact at Indiana along with last years Jordan All-American Eric Gordon.
Height: 6-5 • Weight: 205 • Position: Point Guard • American Christian School • Aston, PA • Hometown: Chester, PA • College: Undecided
Tyreke Evans has been at the top of the 2008 recruiting class since he started playing high school basketball in the seventh grade. He is a very creative and consistent scorer that seems to be unstoppable. He can drive and finish with ease or rise above the rim. Evans loves to break his man down off the dribble and pull up for NBA range three-pointers as his ball handling ability is just as advanced as his jump shot. Evans has not made his decision, but there is a host of schools lined up for him to attend including Louisville , UConn, Memphis , Texas and Villanova are on his list of top five schools.
Height: 6-9 • Weight: 235 • Position: Power Forward • Archbishop Mitty HS • San Jose, CA • Hometown: San Jose, CA • College: UCLA
Drew Gordon is one of the most dominant power forwards in the class of 2008 because of his size and athleticism. Gordon excels at scoring in the low post but is also a huge presence on the defensive end. He can get off the floor quickly and uses his long arms to block and alter shots. Rebounding is also a great asset for Gordon because of his great leaping ability and excellent hands. He runs the floor well and when the ball is around the basket he is a highlight reel dunk waiting to happen. He will join a loaded recruiting class for coach Ben Howland when he attends UCLA in the fall.
Height: 6-8 • Weight: 225 • Position: Power Forward • St. Jude High School • Montgomery, AL • Hometown: Montgomery, AL • College: Alabama
One of the top big men in the class of 2008, JaMychal Green has perhaps the most physically fit body of all the high school big men. Green is an explosive player that finishes strong regardless of contact. He has great hands and establishes himself in the post very well. He loves to play with his back to the basket, but has the ability to step out and knock down the three-point shot. His demeanor and attitude are excellent on the court which shows his passion for the game. Green is a strong rebounder and often comes up with put back dunks on the offensive glass. He will stay close to home and attend the University of Alabama next fall.
Height: 6-3 • Weight: 180 • Position: Guard • Campbell Hall High School • N. Hollywood, CA • Hometown: N. Hollywood, CA • College: UCLA
Jrue Holiday is a poised, smart, mature yet aggressive shooting guard that can "do it all." His NBA range jump shot, his ability to get to the basket with great body control and finish with both hands makes it seem as if the game comes to him easily. He is ranked in the top 10 of his class not only because of his offense but his lockdown defensive capabilities. He uses his quickness to pressure guards from baseline to baseline, and has the strength to guard post players and make them uncomfortable. Holiday led his team to an amazing 33-1 last season and a third consecutive state championship. He will stay in California and join a revived program at UCLA.
Height: 6-5 • Weight: 180 • Position: Wing Guard • University Heights HS • Hopkinsville, KY • Hometown: Hopkinsville, KY • College: Undecided
Scotty Hopson is an outstanding guard with the ability to play three positions. He has the size to be a huge threat at the small forward position, ball handling skills of a point guard and the jumper to take over at the shooting guard spot. He is regarded as one of the best pro prospects coming to the college scene in his class. Hopson solidified his spot in the top ten of his class at the LeBron James Skills Academy camp last summer where he played with passion and was described as unguardable. He displayed his explosiveness to the basket and was excellent at finishing with finesse. He is still undecided on where he will lace them up next season.
Height: 6-2 • Weight: 170 • Position: Point Guard • Oak Hill Academy • Mouth of Wilson, VA • Hometown: Lakewood, CA • College: Arizona
Combining speed, athleticism and the ability to take over a game by scoring or distributing is making Brandon Jennings the most recognized player in his class. He is dangerous shooting the ball from long range either off the dribble or off a screen. He has exceptional vision at the point guard spot and his quickness allows him to easily penetrate the lane and distribute the ball to his teammates for open shots. Being mentally tough and a fierce competitor helps him make great decisions with the basketball and sets him apart from other guards. He holds the highest single season point total and the highest points per game average in Oak Hill Academy history. He will join what some people call Point Guard University when he attends the University of Arizona next fall.
Height: 6-4 • Weight: 165 • Position: Point Guard • J.W. North High School • Riverside, CA • Hometown: Riverside, CA • College: UCLA
Malcolm Lee is a lightening quick guard that makes others seem as if they are moving in slow motion. He can play both the point and shooting guard position and makes great decisions at both spots. Lee excels at shooting the long range jumper off the dribble or from the pass. He maneuvers through the lane and finishes with smooth shots or uses his great vision to find the open man. Lee is probably the best in the class of 2008 at changing speeds in the open court and he has the ability to change direction without losing any speed. He will join fellow Jordan All-American Jrue Holiday at UCLA next year.
Height: 6-10 • Weight: 226 • Position: Power Forward • Helen Cox High School • Harvey, LA • Hometown: Gretna, LA • College: Georgetown
Greg Monroe is a solid power forward with refined skills. Monroe, who was named a Parade Magazine All-American and Louisiana's Mr. Basketball, posses great footwork that allows him to score in the post as well as face up to the basket and shoot the mid-range jumper. He is a nightmare for opponents on the glass and he uses his body well to get great position around the basket. On the defensive end, he is able to step out and guard on the perimeter while also being a strong presence in the paint. Not only is he a force on the court, but he is solid in the classroom as well posting over a 3.0 GPA in an honors curriculum. He is a great leader on the floor and will make an immediate impact at Georgetown University .
Height: 7-0 • Weight: 255 • Position: Center • Canal Winchester HS • Canal Winchester, OH • Hometown: Columbus, OH • College: Ohio State
B.J. Mullens is a well-rounded center with all the tools to make it at the next level. He is a smooth player that has a very soft touch around the basket. Mullens runs the floor well and creates a big target for guards to easily feed him the ball in the post. His great footwork and skills then take over, leaving the defender wondering what he will do next. Mullens likes contact in the post, but also has a nice touch off the glass. He showed just how much of a force he could be earlier this season when he can scored 62 points to go along with 20 rebounds while sitting out the last four minutes of the game. Mullens is the second consecutive Ohio State bound center to participate in the Jordan Brand Classic, following in the footsteps of Kosta Koufus.
Height: 6-8 • Weight: 220 • Position: Small Forward • St. Edward High School • Lakewood, OH • Hometown: Euclid, OH • College: Michigan State
Delvon Roe is a true power forward with the athleticism of small forward. With a 7'0 wingspan, Roe has an extremely quick first step and monstrous leaping ability. He also possess great footwork in the low post and often uses drop steps, spin moves and counter moves before finishing with either hand around the basket. The left-hander is a dangerous defender and shot blocker when he isn't using his size and strength to get position and be a force on the glass. Roe shows great lateral quickness that enables him to lockdown smaller guards. In the first game of the 2007-08 season he tore his meniscus at the beginning of the game and still finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds. Roe will fit in quite well with the Michigan State Spartans next season.
Height: 6-8 • Weight: 240 • Position: Power Forward • St. Benedict's Prep • Newark, NJ • Hometown: Newark, NJ • College: Louisville
Samardo Samuels came from Jamaica for the opportunity to play basketball at a United States high school. The highly ranked power forward has taken full advantage and has led St. Benedict's Prep to a national ranking each of his four years in Newark . Samuels uses his strength and agility to get his shots off using an array of moves to get the defender off balance. He has only been playing organized basketball for the past four years, but has developed great ball handling skills and recently added the ability to shoot from long range. Samuels has a great work ethic and brings tenacity every time he steps on the court. He hopes to one day play in the NBA so that he will be able to help his family in Jamaica . In the meantime he plans to improve his game at the University of Louisville next season.
Height: 6-4 • Weight: 180 • Position: Point Guard • Oak Park River Forest HS • Oak Park, IL • Hometown: Chicago, IL • College: Georgia Tech
Iman Shumpert went from not being ranked in the top 100 to being arguably one of the best point guards in the 2008 class over one summer. Playing on the travel team circuit allowed him to showcase his talent at the top tournaments of the summer. Shumpert is an all around guard that effectively handles the ball, distributes with ease and scores at will. He is a sharp shooter that has range that extends to the three-point line but is best when pulling up for midrange shots. Shumpert's great length allows him to have a strong defensive presence whenever he steps on the floor and but what is most is impressive is his confidence. Shumpert will join the Georgia Yellow Jackets next season in the ACC.
Height: 6-1 • Weight: 172 • Position: Point Guard • Rice High School • New York, NY • Hometown: Bronx, NY • College: Connecticut
Kemba Walker is a slender guard that is a constant playmaker. His game has been compared to Chris Paul in the way he makes spectacular plays seem effortless. He shoots well and is always in complete control on the court. He has the ability to change direction and get the defense off balance and is best when in transition and dishing it off to his teammates. Walker also made a name for himself in the historic Rucker Park Tournament. He scored 39 points in a game that had to be moved to a college gym to accommodate the crowd. He is used to being in the spotlight and will be a great fit for the University of Connecticut .
Height: 6-4 • Weight: 197 • Position: Point Guard • North Crowley HS • North Crowley, TX • Hometown: Fort Worth, TX • College: Oklahoma
Willie Warren is another guard who can play both the point guard and shooting guard positions equally. He is a threat in more than one way and forces the defense to pick their poison. Warren can light up the scoreboard by raining down jumpers from long range or pick apart the opponent using his quick dribble to penetrate and dish to his teammates for easy shots. He loves to get out and run so he can use his explosiveness to blow past defenders. Warren will take his game to Norman , OK next season when he joins Jeff Capel and the Oklahoma Sooners in the Big 12.
Height: 6-7 · Weight: 185 · Position: Small Forward · Berkmar High School · Lilburn, GA · Hometown: Lilburn, GA · College: Undecided
Wesley Witherspoon has what it takes to be an impact player at the collegiate level. He has a family history of top athletes and he did not fall far from the tree. Witherspoon is a long and athletic small forward that has the ability to score in big numbers. He is an excellent shooter that can knock down shots from anywhere on the court. His long arms allow him to be a fierce defender and shot blocker. He is also a strong rebounder on both ends of the floor. Witherspoon uses his quick first step to get past defenders and finish with highflying dunks. He is undecided on his college choice, but has a long list of top programs offering him a spot on their team.
Height: 6-11 • Weight: 230 • Position: Power Forward • Rome High School • Rome, GA • Hometown: Rome, GA • College: Wake Forest
One of the top big men in the class of 2008, Tony Woods has all the tools to be a dominant force at the next level. Woods is a very athletic big man with great hands. He loves to run the floor and is great at finishing on the break. He aggressiveness allows him to take over games. Woods' strength has helped him become a dominant player as well as his great foot speed. He has the ability to alter so many shots in the lane and is a force on the glass as well. Woods will join fellow Jordan All-American Al-Farouq Aminu at Wake Forest next season.

The Details: What on Earth Are You Wearing: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Fashion by Chloe Quigley & Daniel Pollock, with Illustrations by Kat Macleod.
What You'll Find: Darling illustrations, quirky definitions of fashion's famous words, and perhaps most importantly- a snarky dose of style advice.
Why We Love It: When did we start taking fashion so seriously? While we totally appreciate high-fashion, we sort of prefer to laugh. In "What on Earth Are You Wearing," Quigley takes on the persona of "Michi," a fashion forward dame with all the answers. She addresses important questions- such as "Lace: With so many holes, shouldn't it cost less?" and defines iconic styles like "Drawstring Waist: Evidence that you're eating too much." She also gives a little reality check, with definitions like "Handbag: A sack generally costing more than its contents." With this book, your longing for style inspiration will be thoroughly satisfied, and you'll get a good chuckle along the way.

Hi All - I'm co-hosting an annual party on Saturday. I like to serve a variety of unusual finger foods, so I usually do a lot of cooking ahead. This year my kitchen has been remodeled, and the range isn't hooked up yet. The gas company is scheduled to come tomorrow, but I don't know what time, and in any case I'll believe they're here when I see them.
My challenge to you is this: Can you give me some recipes for munchies that are both easy and quick to prepare, and not something everyone has had 100 times? Ideally, some of these will require no cooking at all, just in case the gas company lets me down (again). I saw the baked brie recipe and the cream cheese with peach salsa on another thread. They sound great...providing I can find a store that sells the peach salsa. Any more? Thanks so much! Susan |
Follow-Up Postings:
I didn't realize this forum isn't very busy. I'll add my own reply so my message doesn't hang around long past its usefulness. S. |
You might try asking your question over at the Cooking Forum- the people there have a lot of good ideas and are only too happy and willing to help! |
Hope you got your range hooked up!! Last week I made bacon straws by simply wrapping a store bought breadstick (stella doro) with a slice of bacon and baking. Also last week I made pumpkin dip...its really good!!! have fun!! |

Hi, Here's a super easy sweet appetizer/dessert that I've tried: 1 box chopped dates In cooker, heat the dates and condensed milk. Mixture will be like a paste. Using a knife (or however is easy) just dollop some of this mixture on top of the Ritz cracker. Let cool. Then add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture. Very delishhhhh! I did notice, thought, when I had them in the refrigerator the day after the party----that the crackers got a little soggy----could probably reheat a little. That is, if you have any left!! Or, just keep the date mixture separate until the day of the party. |
This is great and no cooking is involved - just alot of chopping! (you can buy the already cooked shrimp at the grocery when you make this!) SHRIMP SALSA 4 lbs. cooked, peeled shrimp Cut each shrimp into 3 or 4 pieces and place in large bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, serrano peppers and parsley. Mix to combine. Add the lime juice and oil and toss to mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill until serving time and serve with tortilla chips. |
Susan , sorry you didn't get much help from us! As Collen mentioned, try posting over on the Cooking Forum or Recipe Exchange next time....much more active forums. |
Thanks, everyone. This party has come and gone, but I'll save your ideas for next time. Jamie, I'll also pass your recipe on to my son, who loves to cook shrimp all the time. He also likes salsa, so I think he'll really go for this one. Susan |

Maybe I'm missing something. What is the benefit to numbering alignments?
Example: Street CL (1), etc.
When I have a street centerline alignment, I am failing to see any benefit. If I have a change, I want the change, not any old stuff. If I have a need to different alignments for differing purposes, I'd rather give each my own unique name. If I make a change, and I want that change easily reflected into a profile or corridor, wouldn't it be more efficient to let the name remain constant?
Do you allow the program to do this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by BrianHailey. See the answer in context.
You can't have two alignments with the same name so by adding a counter to the naming template, it prevents duplicate names.
Alternate scenario? I know what your talking about, though
Joe-Bouza wrote:Alternate scenario? I know what your talking about, though
When making changes, instead of "Street CL (1)" --> "Street CL (2)", and so on...
...just name it "Street CL" and allow it to overwrite.
I suppose there may be a benefit, but I am failing to experience a benefit so far. Don't get me wrong, I am willing to continue this default if there is a benefit (or if allowing overwriting would cause a problem).
You dont have to accept the default naming template. You can go an name the alignment Maple Street etc.

Jerome Mancuso Found Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that on October 7, 2011, in Billings, after a federal district court trial before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, JEROME MANCUSO, a 42-year-old resident of Billings, was found guilty of possession with intent to distribute cocaine, distribution of cocaine, and maintaining drug involved premises. Sentencing is set for January 12, 2012. He is currently released on special conditions.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys James E. Seykora and Bishop Grewell prosecuted the case for the United States.
The verdict by the jury in this case shows that the law applies equally to everyone, regardless of an individual's standing in the community," said United States Attorney Michael W. Cotter, District of Montana. "The United States Attorney's Office sincerely appreciates all of the local, state and federal law enforcement agencies that participated in the larger drug investigation related to the case against this defendant and others."
MANCUSO faces possible penalties of twenty years in prison, a $1,000,000 fine and three years supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by a cooperative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Today is the last day of 2008. A lot of people think things automatically change with the changing of the calendar. I don't know if Scott Boras is one of those people, but he probably should be the way things have gone in the free agent market over the last three months of 2008.
Sure, the Yankees have spent a ton of money this offseason, but that's about it. Everyone else seems to be bunkering down and looking for bargains. Boras managed to get Mark Teixeira a nice deal by landing him in the aforementioned Bronx, but Manny Ramirez remains a man with no clear destination. And now comes the first real offer from the Mets for Derek Lowe – by all accounts their top free agent pitching target and Boras' top free agent pitching client. Was it close to the five-year, $90 million he was reportedly seeking?
Umm, no.
Three years, $36 million, says Jack Curry of the New York Times.
As was the case with Francisco Rodriguez, the Mets are finding they might be the only serious bidders for Lowe, and that has them adjusting their offer accordingly. It's been a scenario we've talked about for weeks and it's only gotten clearer in the last few days. The latest evidence is this piece by the Daily News' John Harper that says Lowe has told friends that the Red Sox haven't shown interest and even he believes he will wind up in Flushing.
Now with a Boras client it will never be as easy as one lowball offer and an agreement, but even if the Mets go up a million or two per year, they are still talking about a very reasonable contract, topping out around $40 million. Make that another reasonable contract for the Mets and Omar Minaya.
So as you replace your 2008 calendar with your shiny new 2009 version, it's fair to also hope for better things on the field in the new year. But until the contract is signed, it's best to hope that things off the field in 2009 pick up right where they are leaving off in 2008.

A wave of change is sweeping the organizations that promote economic development and charitable giving in Mesa as new leaders are taking the helm.
Four of the largest groups are getting new executives in what is an unusually large amount of turnover at a single time. The exiting leaders departed for a variety of reasons.
The degree of change with this new batch of leaders promises to be larger than in normal times given the rocky financial situation, said Dan Wollam, the new president of the Mesa United Way.
"I think you're going to find with probably any of those organizations that because of the general economic conditions that the whole country is facing, every agency is having to reexamine what it does, why it's doing it and whether it's doing it in the best way that it can," Wollam said.
Wollam's been on the job since June. By early next year, new leaders will also be in place at the Downtown Mesa Association, West Mesa Community Development Corporation and the Mesa Chamber of Commerce.
The leadership change at the Downtown Mesa Association is part of the biggest overhaul to the organization in its 25 year history. The downtown property owners who make up its board of directors have already promised to get merchants more involved and do a better job promoting downtown amid growing complaints of the DMA's performance.
The only president in the organization's history, Tom Verploegen, left earlier this year along with the vice president.
The DMA wants to do a better job letting people know about downtown events, while improving its relationship with merchants and the community, board chairman Freddy Curry said.
"One of the biggest things we want people to see is that Mesa is trying to build a better downtown and change the perception that we're a sleeping city in the downtown," Curry said.
A nationwide search for a president yielded 160 applications, which have been narrowed to seven. The board of directors should choose a new president by the month's end.
Shortly after Verploegen resigned in April, former Downtown Tempe Community executive Kate Hastings was installed as an interim leader. She's not in the running for the permanent job, Curry said.
The West Mesa Community Development Corporation also has an interim director, former Gilbert Mayor Cynthia Dunham. She replaces Jo Ellen McNamara, who departed her post of two years for a job in Phoenix.
Dunham was chosen because of her many roles, including being executive director of the Leadership Centre, which teaches classes on homeowners associations and conflict resolution. She also lived in west Mesa 18 years, said Robin Harris, board president of the West Mesa CDC.
"Based upon her resume and past experience, we selected her," Harris said. "She's been heavily involved in west Mesa and the East Valley for years."
A new leader should be in place by January, Harris said, and that could include Dunham.
The organization promotes business expansion and relocation — and a major change could be in store. Two organizations have approached it to consider a merger because they could benefit from being aligned with a community development corporation, Harris said. He declined to name the groups but said the organization will take up the matter in October.
A search is also under way for a president for the Mesa Chamber of Commerce, as Charlie Deaton will retire by year's end after 18 years in the same role. The chamber has put out a second call for applicants after the first search didn't produce enough candidates, Mesa City Manager Chris Brady said. This time, the city has used its experience doing nationwide searches to help cast a wider net by advertising more broadly, he said.
No broader changes have been discussed at this point for the chamber.
At the United Way, Wollam replaces Carol McCormack, who left after 11 years to join her husband at his new job in Virginia.
Wollam said he's changed how the United Way raises funds, following a year in which donations fell short of a $4 million goal. That was too high in this economy, he said, but also was inadvertently misleading because it didn't represent how much money the United Way had to distribute. Donations include in-kind contributions, cash for the United Way to disperse at its discretion and donations that are earmarked for specific causes in Mesa and outside the city. The United Way now divides the donations into three categories, with a goal for each one.
"We're trying to be more transparent and I'm not suggesting that previously we were trying to cloud anything," Wollam said. "But we have found some ways to be more clear to people so there's a deeper and a more clear way of what were doing."
Wollam had been the Mesa United Way's vice president for two years. That post is now held by Claudia Walters, a former Mesa City Council member who sought the mayor's office in 2008.

Greetings, fellow light seekers:
In the next few months I hope to be renovating an old barn and installing lots of fluorescent fixtures. The barn will be used as a combination workshop/art studio. The quality of light is important, as I dabble in some artsy stuff and my wife has a hobby of restoring old furniture. So a good CRI is important. I have full-spectrum Excella T12s in my office, and I like them okay, but I'm going to go with T8s in the new work. However, I only have read data on the Philips f32t8/tl950; never have seen one in person. They don't sell them individually, and I'm not too keen on shelling out $300 or so on a case of them to try them out. That's especially important in that they aren't a particularly efficient lamp in terms of lumen per watt (so I would need a fair number of them); the lamp has a design lumen rating of 1860 lumens. Has anyone used this particular bulb or any of the other high-CRI (Lumichrome, etc) bulbs for a similar application? I can read the data, but I'd like to hear from someone's personal experience if the quality of light is conducive to these applications. Basically, do you like them? Are you comfortable in that type of light? Can you make reproducibly accurate color decisions with them? Thanks in advance for any advice about these or any alternative lighting schemes. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have used 950s in the finishing area for a cabinet shop where they apply stains and paints and color match. They are happy with them. The rest of the shop uses T5HO 741 lamps in high bay fixtures. It does not feel warm and cozy to be in 5000K lighting, to me. It's hard to be depressed though. |
Thanks for the info. I do like full spectrum lights. I got used to them in my office. I noted something: when I was installing the FS lights one balmy evening with the door open, I had installed some fixtures with the full spectrum tubes while some others still had the old tubes. All the moths flocked to the full spectrum tubes and left the old ones alone. |
- Posted by dallasbill (My Page) on Wed, Feb 7, 07 at 10:46
Makes perfect sense... ever seen a moth with SAD? I thought not! ;-) |
All the moths flocked to the full spectrum tubes and left the old ones alone. That figures. "Full Spectrum"* lamps are bluish. What color is the light in bugzappers? Blue. What color light do we use to minimize attracting insects? Yellow. = = = *BTW, "Full Spectrum" is a misnomer. That just means its color temperature (supposedly) approximates noon artic sunshine. The manufacturers typically mix three phosphors to get better control of the light color. A spectral analysis will show three peaks. Unlike sunlight, it's not an even mix of every color. It may even be less than three for the Philips TL950. I don't know about the 950, but I've read that the warmer TL930 actually is a halophosphate phosphor lamp, rather than a triphosphor type. It even uses a yellowish coating on the lamp to get the desired CT. If the 950 uses a bluish coating for the same reason, that might explain its relatively low efficacy. This is not to suggest there's anything wrong with those lamps, just that with any fluorescent, "full spectrum" is usually more ad-speak than reality. |
I was playing around with a spectrophotometer (used primarily for making custom color profiles for printers and computer screens) last week and measured the light spectrum of some incandescent and CFL bulbs. Although the CFL bulbs were not "full spectrum" and only had a rated CRI of 80, you could easily see the spikey nature of FL lamps. From a perception standpoint there was a huge difference between the 2700K and 3500K CFLs. Personally the 2700K bulbs have a sickly yellow/orange glow whereas the 3500K bulbs seemed a bit too cool. A 5000-5500K "full spectrum" FL might come across as being rather icy. Someday I hope to try a Solux lamp for color matching prints. They are suppose to have a continuous color spectrum very close to daylight with a CRI nearly 100. |
Yes, even the best high-CRI fluorescents have a spiky spectrum. That's why I appreciate the comments of those who have had real world experience with these items. Judging the quality of light is a bit like evaluating stereo components. Measurements, while important, can only take you so far, and your subjective response has to be the final arbiter. I had a dinky 35 watt per channel tube amplifier that sounded much more musical than a $$$ solid state unit. Within the next few years we'll see huge changes in lighting. I read recently that they now have LED's that are 1.7 times as efficient as the best fluorescents (in terms of lumens per watt consumed). As the price of energy continues to go up, I'm sure LED-based lamps will eventually replace incandescents. It'll be interesting to see what quality of the light is produced by those things. |
Arley, Sorry to have been so unhelpful to you by including a bit of data. I know your looking for personal opinions, so can't help you there with that particular bulb. I think you know the answer to your question as you implied in your description of your stereo amplifier. Quality of light is a very personal thing. Just like your stereo, no one else can say anything that is more meaningful than your auditioning a particular light. Maybe a very large lighting supply house has something similar on a piece basis. Verilux sells small quanities of medium bi-pin tubes on their website, and these are said to be "full spectrum". Having been a professional architectural photographer I am very sensitive to light as well and in general find all fluorescent lights to be comparitively offensive regardless of CRI. Afterall, CRI is just another one of those meaningless quantitative measurements. Science can sometimes be pesty, but it's hard to resolve a spiky color spectrum with an environment conducive to excellent color matching over a broad spectrum. To key off your analogy, incandescent bulbs are akin to your tube amplifier with it's nice warmth and harmonious spectrum, and fluorescent bulbs are more like a lousy non-linear solid state component. Flurorescents can start instantly without flicker or hum and have an acceptable color temperature and they still can't fool you into being anything else but a florescent. They do save energy and generate less heat and other than incorporating mercury in their design, they are positive from an environmental standpoint. I'm right with you on the LED front. I want this to happen more than anything else in the lighting world, but I believe it's a bit further out than the next few years. The multi-LED bulbs which generate the same lumens as a reasonable incandescent are still wildly expensive and not all are dimable. Dimming without change to color temperature is one of the potential great aspects of LED lighting. Thermal management is an issue as you start ganging up lots of small LEDs or use single power leds. Was looking at a picture of an undercabinet LED fixture and it built heat sink fins into it's design to address these thermal issues. Sure hope that companies like Lumileds and Cree can make some breakthroughs in this type of lighting so they can move beyond specialty applications. |
Gordonr, I appreciate the data; by no means was it unhelpful. Maybe the best solution for 'generally good' lighting for my application might be to get decent high-CRI fluorescent for general lighting and some Solux incandescents for really critical work. Being an analog guy in a digital world, I'll continue to shoot my Rolleiflex 2.8E2 loaded with Provia, in the midday sun :) |

I am a lighting designer and I have samples of these lamps. I know this post was from a year ago, but I wanted to mention that the Philips lamp also comes in a 930 version which is 3000°K lamp, not 5000°K, and is much warmer. The 930/950 lamps are great for locations where color is very important. My clients consistently pick the 930 over all the other lamps when they see an actual mockup. Yes it is true that they are not as efficient, so if you need high levels of light in a work type environment, then it might not be the best choice. I do hope that the LED market will eventually replace fluorescent, but its a long time off and still very expensive. Good Luck. |
Here is a link that might be useful: eclectic precision
I've used both the Philips TL930 (95CRI) and TL950 (98CRI) 4-foot tubes., which fortunately I was able to buy two at a time from the local retailer. The TL950s illuminated my kitchen; the 930s went into a basement rec room where they match the color temperature of halogen downlights. The TL950s won't blow you away upon first turning them on - they look like typical cool/sunlight fluorescents at first. Its just that the different colors really pop out well and cleanly and the colors jump out at you rather than being dulled. The kitchen there has no windows, and in the morning sunlight, I noticed the ambient light from the windows across the apartment matched the TL950 light in the kitchen perfectly. If I take pictures with a film camera loaded with standard color film (daylight-balanced), pictures taken with available light indoors under typical "cool white" fluorescents lend an awful greenish cast to everything, but those shot under TL950s had perfect color. That says boatloads about the TL950's color accuracy. As for the lower lumen output, I compensated by overdriving them with special fluorescent ballasts, witch overdrive the bulbs by about 25%. There are (were?) 2700K, 3500K, 4100K, and 6500K versions of these bulbs sold in Europe. Too bad they aren't sold in North America. |

Louis J. Zitnik Reservoir and Pump Station, Laguna Beach, CA
The Louis J. Zitnik Reservoir and Pump Station is located in the upscale community of Laguna Beach. RBF Consulting (RBF) provided design engineering, bidding, and construction administration services for this 5-million-gallon (MG) concrete reservoir, expansion of the existing Viejo Pump Station, a pressure- reducing station, and approximately 3,000 feet of 12-inch water line. The existing Viejo pump station building was expanded to house three new pumps with a new station capacity of 3,500 gallons-per-minute (GPM) and backup emergency power. This prestressed, circular reservoir is completely buried and within a permanent open space area restored to its native condition. Site grading presented unique challenges for the project. The grading operation, which incorporated deep caisson slope stabilization and revegetation, was successful in regrading the hillside to accommodate construction of the reservoir and pump station to a stable, natural hillside that serves both the Laguna County Water District and surrounding residences. State and local officials conducted a site visit during the winter of 1999, to review erosion control measures. RBF received high marks for the ingenuity and effectiveness of the measures taken to control erosion and address strict water quality standards in this coastal zone.

I'm in my mid thirties, mother of three kids, 2 dogs and a cat. I love to cook as long as I can con someone else into cleaning up my mess. Scrapbooking is a hobby of mine, I wish I had more time for that one.
Update: 5/29/04 My s.o. asked me to marry him! OMG! So, yes, I'm engaged now. I will update this page as the plans move along. :) (giggle)
Update 6/17/04 I have the dress now, here's a picture, but I'm going to try to find a better one, because the gown is REALLY gorgeous http://www.thebridalshop.com/gz43212.htm (this link no longer takes you to a picture of my gown 5/19/05)
Date and location of wedding to follow soon! I'm so excited!
Update 11/9/04 Wow, time flies! My fiance and I were married on October 31, in Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was incredible! Hopefully I will be able to post some photos soon; the resort was too beautiful for words! I have updated my name too! :)
Update 5/4/05 Woo hoo! We're having a baby! Okay, yes, we've known for 3 months now; I'm just now getting around to updating this.
We're due October 8 (almost an anniversary gift), and hoping for a girl. Keep your fingers crossed and think pink!
Update 11/30/05 Wow, where does the time go? Lily Jade will be 8 weeks old on Friday. She was born October 7, 2005 at 9:25 AM. She weighed 7 lbs, 9 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. She is the most beautiful baby girl I've ever seen; her daddy and I just cried and cried when she was born. Pictures will follow. For the first three weeks, dad took a picture every time her outfit was changed. We carry the camera in the diaper bag.
Update 4/26/06 Lily is 6 months old. She'll be 7 months old in 11 days. I can't believe how the time is flying. She is sitting by herself, and trying to pull herself up to things and scooting around the floor in reverse. She has her two bottom front teeth coming in, and is the most adorable baby in the world. (unbiased mommy opinion, here). For more pictures of Lily, check out my website. I'll add more as time allows. Ain't she the cutest of the cutes?
Update 10/16/06: Our beautiful little princess turned 1 on the 7th. She's simply the most amazing little girl (imnsho). Lily has been walking for over 2 months now, has 7 teeth and a vocabulary of about 20 words. Yep, she's a baby genius! :)
Update 6/28/07: It seems like only yesterday La Princessa was born, now she is a fiercely independent young lady, who has no qualms in telling you I do it. Precious, precious girl growing up so fast.
I'm sure it sounds like the other two children in the house are ignored, but my son is 14; no longer cuddly, and possesses a very impressive roller coaster set of emotions. My step son will be 17 in 3 months, so of course he is an adult now, and the rest of the household is not worthy of his time or attention. Ahh, teenagers and toddlers, now that's a lovely combination. ;)
I'm also no longer in my mid thirties. Yikes, how does this happen?
My favorite foods would be cheese and chocolate, so naturally the ultimate food is chocolate cheesecake.
I love the way food smells. I think as long as it smelled good, I would eat, regardless of what was in it.
Despite it all, my favorite place to go (fast food) is TACO BELL. I can't get enough of that stuff! That's so bad, I know.

Mom's Healthy Market is in an interesting site. Food and cloth diapers all in one place. Grouping items together by room is a fun way to discover things you might otherwise not look at.
Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions and thanks for taking the time to visit Mom's Healthy Market. Hope you visit again soon.
Very cute stuff! My little one would love the lady bug!
love the puppy backpack! thanks for sharing
They are all so cute. Glad I found this web sight.
What is it with white people and leashes for babies? I kid. I'm very white, but it amuses me.

By Peter L. DeGroote
(The following has been written with input from several long-term companions on the reconciling journey. I am thankful for their help but they are not responsible for errors of fact or judgment.)
Marriage equality was legally established in New York because Governor Cuomo required that the various, and sometimes competing, LGBT groups get on the same page. His support required their unity, which he saw necessary for success.
This lesson of "the same page" runs through my mind as I think about the various LGBT related resolutions heading to General Conference, which is often as convoluted and nefarious as any state legislature. Chief among them are those that would provide the following:
- Elimination from the Discipline of the declaration that "the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teachings." (¶161.F)
- Elimination of the Disciplinary prohibition of the ordination of LGBT candidates. (¶304.3)
- Allow the celebration by our clergy and in our churches, at the discretion of the pastor, in those civil jurisdictions that have approved civil unions or marriage equality laws. (¶341.6)
- Complete removal of all restrictions and prohibitions on the celebration of marriage or civil unions by our clergy and in our churches. (¶341.6)
- Acceptance of the fact that the church suffers from institutional discrimination toward LGBT people and that all negative provisions concerning them should be removed from the Discipline.
Some argue the first priority should be elimination of the declaration that the practice of "homosexuality" is incompatible with Christian teaching. First adopted into the Social Principles in 1972, it served as the foundation for the exclusion from ordination, the ban on celebrating marriage/unions, and even the Judicial Council's finding that local pastor can deny membership to LGBT people. Those supporting this priority claim that removal of the cornerstone would result in all else eventually falling.
Supporters of resolutions allowing for ordination of LGBT folks point to the many instances of highly qualified people being denied ordination, giving up their calling, or leaving the UMC for another denomination. Further momentum arises from those conferences that do not do not consider sexual identity a relevant factor in determining the qualifications of their candidates, the result being the routine ordination of otherwise qualified LGBT candidates. Further, the recent declaration of support for LGBT ordination by 33 retired bishops brings this into focus for many, their rationale being a clear statement of the many issues. (Note: the retired bishops proposal would eliminate only one of the two versions of the incompatibility language. The foundation declaration at ¶161.F would remain.)
The marriage equality resolutions differ in scope. The first allows for the celebration of marriages in those civil jurisdictions having adopted civil unions or a marriage equality law. It arises out of the many challenges faced by local churches and pastors in those jurisdictions: How do we respond to the pastoral needs of our LGBT members and community expectations?
Those who support the broader marriage equality resolutions take note of the quiet celebration of marriages and civil unions in our churches for quite some time, even where there is no civil legislation to provide a legal context. For many a church marriage remains a marriage in the minds and spirit of the couple, the pastor, and the congregation. To them, restricting the celebration of LGBT marriage to those civil jurisdictions that have passed the necessary legislation not only seems prejudicial but an abandonment of the Church's prophetic role, turning the church into an agency serving the state.
Back to the all on "the same page" lesson: The above alternatives, and others, are related but energized by different experiences and values. Could they all pass? Could a single omnibus resolution including them all pass? Can we figure out a strategy that allows us to find agreement on priorities and prevent our working against each other?
General Conference procedures further complicate the matter. As in most civil legislatures, resolutions first go to a legislative committee that can endorse, recommend against, combine, or let them die. Further, all LGBT resolutions will not go to the same committee. While the committee assignment of resolutions is not yet entirely clear, our ability to relate to the work of several different legislative committees is a critical factor. It is possible that some of us will go our own way without regard to an overall strategy, thereby diluting our ability to influence the outcomes.
One of the major advantages we have is that many of the people necessary to help us figure out a strategy will be at Sing a New Song in Port Huron, Ohio at the end of August. I do hope we are able to find a way that we can all sing from the same page.
Peter is a second career pastor who has served in several churches in the Baltimore-Washington Conference. Prior to his ordination, he was a secondary-school teacher, a university lecturer in Government, an Associate in a government related professional association, CEO of a national financial institution. Peter was involved in Mid-Atlantic Affirmation, served on the National Council of Affirmation, and sat on the Board of the Reconciling Congregations Program, the predecessor name for RMN and has worked with BWARM (Baltimore-Washington Reconciling United Methodists).

We have recently reaffirmed our long-term Neutral recommendation on Wells Fargo & Co. ( WFC ) based on its solid fundamentals and strategic acquisitions amidst the current stressed operating environment. We believe that investors should not be disappointed with their investments in Wells Fargo over the long term given its diverse geographic and business mix, which enables it to sustain consistent earnings growth. The company has overcome the financial crisis well and as of the second quarter of 2012, it has achieved growth in earnings per share for ten consecutive quarters. Wells Fargo reported earnings of 82 cents per share in second quarter 2012, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 81 cents. Its earnings per share also augmented 9.3% sequentially and 17.1% year over year, reflecting improvements in mortgage banking business and credit quality. It experienced record quarterly mortgage applications and increases in lending to consumers and businesses. Moreover, strategic acquisitions will also help expand Wells Fargo's business and improve profitability. Notably, in the first half of 2012, the company completed three acquisitions with combined total assets of $4.5 billion. Further, on August 1, the company completed the acquisition of a prime brokerage and technology provider with assets of approximately $280 million. In addition, it is capitalizing on the deleveraging activities of European banks. Also, it has announced consecutive dividend increases over the past three years with the latest hike of 83.3% being announced in March 2012. Yet, increasing demands for mortgage buybacks, tepid economic recovery, low interest rate environment and regulatory issues remain our concern. But we believe that given its solid profitability potential, it can efficiently manage the mortgage repurchase issue and navigate through the current stressed operating environment. Moreover, the shares of Wells Fargo, which competes with Fifth Third Bancorp ( FITB ) and M&T Bank Corp. ( MTB ) among others, retain a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating over the short term.
