21st century skills have been a hot topic in the world of education, and there is an overwhelming amount of 21st century skill information on the web. However, it's not easy for every education professional to absorb what it means to them and their district.
While many core skills haven't changed, some are becoming more critical, and other skills are new for the 21st century. The world has been changing, in two discontinuous ways, since the early 1990s:
- The world is more connected, flatter, and moving faster.
Technology evolution, a maturing world economy, dynamic teaming and collaboration. Windows of opportunity are getting smaller as news flows faster. Reaction time is a critical differentiator. - Information is growing rapidly – and all can contribute.
Information is exploding – but some is accurate, some is not, some are opinions, some are lies, some are personal expressions. Information in the new world is not static – it is interactive and dynamic.
So based on these changes, what are the new and growing skills required in the 21st century? For the benefit of my own school district – and anyone trying to get their arms around the fundamentals – I've narrowed the list to seven key skills:
Technology Skills
- Information Literacy: Navigating, interpreting and effectively using the explosion of information available to us is critical in the 21st century.
- Media Literacy: IM streams, blogs, streaming video, web conferences – information is being channeled through ever-changing media. The ability to navigate and interpret those media in context, as well as the ability to use those media effectively to communicate are critical skills.
- Information Technology Literacy: The tools that we use to create or access media that contain information are constantly evolving. Understanding exactly which tools to use, and when, in a constantly evolving tools environment is a critical skill.
People Skills
- Global Literacy: The world is more connected, and insularity is not an option. Awareness, social and cross-cultural skills are valuable.
- Flexibility & Adaptability: The world has always been changing, but change happens – and is communicated – faster. Agility is critical in the 21st century.
- High-Level Knowledge Skills: In a flat world, lower-level skills are a commodity. Critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and innovation are valuable.
- Communication & Collaboration: A connected world requires better communication skills, and the ability to dynamically team to accomplish tasks.
Want to dive deeper? I'd recommend the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. And my colleague Daryl Plummer's post on 20th century thinking. And, of course, my own thoughts on the impact of the web, social software and cloud computing on education. Good luck, and I'd love comments!

Questions and Answers about Maine's 2011 Healthcare Reform Law (Provided by the Maine Bureau of Insurance – current as of September 14, 2011) Q – What consumer protections will be available to people who buy a policy under the laws of another state? Q – I live in rural Maine; how will the new law affect me? First, the law provides more flexibility for insurers to vary premium rates according to the cost of health care services in your area. For more information: 24-A MRSA § 2736-C(2)(C-1) and 24‑A MRSA § 2808-B(2)(C-1). Second, the new law gives insurers greater flexibility in contracting with networks of participating providers. This may have an impact on the number of hospitals or other medical providers you can choose in your area. For more information: 24-A MRSA §4303(1). Third, health insurers might offer you more incentives to use providers based on the quality of their services or their cost. However, insurers may not require you to use those providers. Q – Which insurers in Maine will sell me health insurance? Q – Will my insurance premiums change because of this new law? Q – Can I still buy a policy if I have a pre-existing condition? Will it cost me more? Q – My insurance company told me that I have to fill out a health statement because of a new law called MGARA, is this true? Q – I heard that the new law creates a high risk pool. Is that correct? Q – Can I renew my current policy or do I need to purchase a new one? Q – What is the new assessment on insurance policies? Who pays it? Q – Are there opportunities for small businesses in the new law? Last Updated: October 22, 2013 |

President Barack Obama on Thursday praised the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage as a "victory for American democracy" but clashed with his African host over gay rights in a sign of how far the movement has to go internationally.
Obama said recognition of gay unions in the United States should cross state lines and that equal rights should be recognized universally. It was his first chance to expand on his thoughts about the ruling, which was issued Wednesday as he flew to Senegal, one of many African countries that outlaw homosexuality.
Papi Nbodj, a 19-year-old student who stood by the road to the presidential palace to see Obama's arrival, said homosexuality is against the religious beliefs of most in Senegal.
"We are in a Muslim country, so we certainly cannot have it here," he said. "And for me it's not OK to have this anywhere in the world."
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
Uh oh!!
Ouch! Not only did the President of Senegal tell Obama that his country wasn't interested in gay rights, but he told him that America was wrong to support it as well.
Sometimes I think if Christians stood up for Biblical morality with even 10% of the passion that Muslims defend the Koran, this country would be in a lot better shape.
Sometimes I think if Christians stood up for Biblical morality with even 10% of the passion that Muslims defend the Koran, this country would be in a lot better shape.
You're exactly right.
I was thinkin' more along the lines of "oopppssseeee!".
we do stand up for it, but since we don't threaten people with violence and behead people or blow things up they are not afraid to ignore us.
with muzzies jihad is integral in their religion, forced conversion or death is integral in their religion, maltreatment of non-muzzies is inherent in their religion, honor killings, if they die in jihad they think they get paradise with ever-virginal women, so they are afraid of these folks when they tell them something.
But O's big mistake was putting his hand on president Macky Sall's leg:
Oh the shark, has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white
Whoa, hey! No respect, no respect at all.
~~~President Barack Obama on Thursday praised the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage as a victory~~~
Yes. Yes it was a victory. For the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).
As it was in the Days of Lot, so shall it be in the Days of the (revealed) Coming of the Son of Man (paraphrased).
Luke 17:22-32
King James Version (KJV)
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
So....he went as a guest and official representative of the US of A, and got in the face of a foreign leader telling he was wrong?
Yeah, and George W. made them all hate America! /sarc
I was living in Tennessee when klinton and gore went on the ticket. I was living in gore's area and those people refused to hear truth. And they were devout worship attending Christians. But they insisted on closing their eyes.
With lethargy, ignorance and stubborness like that among people of faith, it's no use.
Is there any nation left who hasn't treated him like the weak worm that he his.
Obama is (like Boehner) a 'tough guy' only when dealing with his bosses:
us. The rest of the world doesn't put up with his chit.
Senegal tells Obama to Ben Dover
heh heh heh,
Meanwhile, American queers continue to support the same social agenda as muzzies. Wait until they get to wear their little pink triangles......
Mexico loves him.
Hee Hee Hee
I LOVE it when this happens!
That's the difference between Christianity and Islam. Islam is a militaristic system of domination. Christianity is a system of an individual's heart being willingly given to God.
One enforces moralism from the outside in and upon others. The other has an individualized moral response from a change of heart.
So, America might be forced into good Christian "moralism" at the threat of Christian intimidation. Maybe that would make America more pristine...or morally sanitized. But, it wouldn't be beneficial from a Biblical point of view and Christianity would not be better off as a result.
Thats the difference between Christianity and Islam. Islam is a militaristic system of domination. Christianity is a system of an individuals heart being willingly given to God.
Perfectly said!
yes, Mexico loves him for fulfilling their dream of Aztlan.
So there must be a great divide, and cognitive dissonance, in O's brain over this clash of progressive gay advocacy and Muslim gay intolerance.
Sweeet! Couldn't happen to a better subject. He loses one or the other, period.
Had a feeling that 0zero may be caught off guard by the Conservative attitudes that are prevalent in much of Africa.
Excellent, one-in-the-eye for the Pipe-cleaner.
This is what happens when Obama goes off prompter. His complete lack of knowledge in every area shows.
I know many who claim that "God" led them to vote for Obama. Not sure which god they were referring to, but if they knew their Bible, they should know not to vote for someone who opposes everything God says. You are right - they are ignorant. Many seem to think that the social gospel is why they vote Democrat. However, what they fail to comprehend is that Jesus tells us as individuals to take care of the needs of the poor - not the government.
This hardly sounds like Obama being rebuffed. Sounds like a nice bribe (your tax dollars and mine) would do the trick here. BTW, this is EXACTLY how Obama sold gay marriage to the "civil rights leaders" he cultivates.
That wasn't the president of Senegal. Just Joe Schmoe.
No. Being a Muslim country, they just either practice it in secret or at the expense of juveniles.
"Sometimes I think if Christians stood up for Biblical morality with even 10% of the passion that Muslims defend the Koran, this country would be in a lot better shape."
Bingo. We were called to be salt and light, but we have grown bland and dull.
That's true. He wouldn't even scramble planes to save an "ambassador and a friend".
Not only the native Africans, but many Black people here are not too fond of the gay agenda, to say the least. Based on my own anecdotal life experiences, the Black guys I grew up with would get more offended being called "fags", "queers", etc than the n-word.
Obama is planning to nuke Senegal..."where's the g'damned foot ball mooch?"
Obama is planning to nuke Senegal..."where's the g'damned foot ball mooch?"
What Obama and Reggie Love do behind closed doors is their own business. He has no right to push it on normal people.
There's a sign out there "Behead all that insults islam". Wonder if that'll be true?
Clearly Nobama has sold his soul to the devil. We are so close to the grand finale. Perhaps even next week.
I love it. 3 countries telling Obama to go to hell this week. This has been a wonderful week for Obama. lol.
Oh eff you, you muslim douchebag. Worry about your own little cesspool.
You touch our gays, we'll kill you.
I also think we should stop eating shell fish too. We need to follow the Bible perfectly so that the left can no longer bash us for using passages that we feel we want to. I don't understand why we don't follow the Bible word for word. I know I have given up shell fish a few years ago so that when I say that Homosexuality is a sin and they try to stump me. I say well I don't eat shell fish either and boy do they shut the heck up. I never understood why conservative christians don't follow the Bible more.
Obama doesn't have to be 'told' ... he volunteers.
I do not approve of Islam and some of its more terrible ideas—BUT I honor the dedication of their followers who will die to get their will heard. A bit like the Kamakazi Pilots in WW II who would crash their obsolete planes into Allied ships. No one mocks Islam because you could get killed doing so. Imagine a Christian Group that dedicated today—well, maybe in Russia...
When did this website get so completely insane?
There is NO valid reason - biblical, moral, financial, or otherwise - to blow up innocents (or gays, or Christians, or fornicators) and when some islamic nutjob says "And for me it's not OK to have this anywhere in the world." - that's what he talking about - murder. On a large scale of whoever's around.
And people who show any support for that plan are not much better than those they praise.
Might cause a spontaneous outburst from people leading to riots.
The decadence and perversions of the left is a huge portion of the reason that Muslims hate us.
It upsets me to find myself agreeing with a Muslim.
"I also think we should stop eating shell fish too. We need to follow the Bible perfectly so that the left can no longer bash us for using passages that we feel we want to. I dont understand why we dont follow the Bible word for word. I know I have given up shell fish a few years ago so that when I say that Homosexuality is a sin and they try to stump me. I say well I dont eat shell fish either and boy do they shut the heck up. I never understood why conservative christians dont follow the Bible more."
Napscoordinator, the dietary laws were specifically abrogated by God in the book of Acts.
"11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common."
You may not like the Bible, or Christians, but do be aware that greater minds than yours or mine, far greater, have read and understood it in its entirety, and we are not picking and choosing what laws to keep and what to ignore. The Bible is consistent and clear. God does not make his will for us obscure. Whether we wish to abide by it or not is another matter.

SKATALITES By MICHAEL STONE Published May 30, 2006 From Paris With LoveWorld Village
A seminal force in Jamaican popular music, the Skatalites innovated the inimitable ska sound comprising the rhythmic and melodic foundations of reggae. Tapping the bagatelle influences of Jamaican mento, Trinidadian calypso, Cuban rumba, South African township and North American film scores, jazz and R&B in the 1960s, inspired by Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, Ernest Ranglin, Ken Boothe and other island music legends, the band forged the brassy syncopated groove whose spirited "riddims" continue to move audiences today. This tight, tasteful Paris studio set rocks from start to finish, worthy introduction to a band that continues to make timeless music from the combined talents of first-generation members Dizzy Moore (trumpet), Lloyd Knibb (drums) and Doreen Shaffer (a voice still mellow as 18-year-old Jamaican barrel-cured rum) with those of sundry veterans and young turks. Be it a send-up of Miriam Makeba's "Pata Pata," film themes like "From Russia With Love" and "The Guns Of Navarone," a fluid retooling of the rumba "El Cumbanchero," or a revived Rastafari chant, "Glory To The Sound," the Skatalites retain a lock on the sublime.


text: Mini Mo (Sammi Cheng) is a transplanted Hong Kong resident who makes Japan her home. She falls in love with budding pianist, Kurokawa. Unfortunately, Kurokawa is forced to break up with Mini, having become successful in his skills. This forced parting drives Mini to eat relentlessly and ten years later, she balloons to over three hundred pounds. Kurokawa has become a national treasure, and tours the country with Mini showing up at every concert. However, he does not recognize her, driving Mini into further depression. Following one of Kurokawa's concerts, after seeing Kurokawa and his newly engaged fiance, Mini decides to hang herself, until Fatso (Andy Lau), an equally overweight knife salesman accidentally saves Mini, becoming her friend and confidant. She hangs on to him because she feels she has nothing left, and Fatso takes to her only after he discovers that she is really a sweet girl. On a national radio program, Kurokawa reveals his strong feelings for Mini have not ceased. Before they parted, they made a mutual promise that if the two ever lost track of one another, they would meet ten years in the future at the bottom of the Tokyo Tower. Mini wants to meet him, but she is afraid he will reject her current form and opts for suicide a second time, until Fatso promises to ensure he gets her back into shape and meet her former lover. Through various comedic methods of losing weight, such as swallowing a tapeworm to exercising using Dance Dance Revolution, Mini gradually becomes thinner, but Fatso finds that his finances are running low. He decides to open up a boxing gig on the streets, where any pedestrian can pummel him for a price. Once Fatso earns enough and with Mini looking slimmer, he enrolls her into a weight loss institution. The program proves successful and Mini regains her former appearance. Fatso drops Mini off at the Tokyo Tower and the two say their goodbyes. Kurokawa, with the mass media swarming under the tower, reunites with Mini. The pair instantly become national celebrities and following a television special at a local network, Mini accidentally notices another program broadcasting Fatso's ongoing boxing gig (Mini was unaware that he was doing this to earn for her enrolment in the institution). Taken back by his motivations to make her thin, Mini tearfully apologizes to Kurokawa and leaves him. Months later, Mini has written a new, best-selling book called "Dieting Happy", earning her national fame, yet she is still disappointed at not being able to find Fatso. However, while driving around the city streets, she notices the same car that Fatso drives near a local park. There, Mini finds "Fatso", albeit having lost much weight and carrying her best-selling book, stating he misses her. With a promise never to leave one another again, the two embrace.

VIDEO: Salesianum races away from Church Farm Salesianum's Donte DiVincenzo scored 17 points as the Sals improved to 10-2 with a convincing 57-34 win over Church Farm (Pa.) Monday night at the Concord Classic. After giving up the opening basket to Larry Cermak, the Sals scored the next 7 points, capped off by a DiVincenzo three to take a lead they would never relinquish. A second three by the sophomore made it 18-12 Salesianum after eight minutes. Superb defense by the Sals held Church Farm to just four points in the second quarter, as the lead swelled to 29-16 at halftime. In the end the combination of DiVincenzo and Nick Perugino (10 points) on the outside, and Brian O'Neill on the inside (13 points) proved too much, as Salesianum cruised to victory. |

TUCSON - Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik spoke out against Senate Bill 1070 Wednesday. The often outspoken Sheriff is not holding back when it comes to the law.
"I think it's simply political fornickaboobery," Dupnik said.
Whatever "fornickaboobery" means, Dupnik was quite clear in saying he does not like the law.
"I think the law, as I have said is unwise, it's stupid, and it's racist," Dupnik said.
He says officers already have the authority to arrest illegal immigrants and turn them over to Border Patrol. With the passage of S.B. 1070, the office could be sued both for not enforcing it and also for racial profiling.
"We're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't," Dupnik said.
Dupnik also said he thinks schools should be asking about their students' immigration statuses.
"I don't feel that it's the obligation of the state to provide education to people who are not here legally," Dupnik said
Still, he says he thinks this newest immigration law will be challenged in the Supreme Court.
Closer to the border, Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever says the law will bring positive change to the state.
"There are people from all over this country, to include sheriffs from many, many counties that are encouraging us to keep doing what we're doing here and thanking the governor for signing that bill," Dever said.
The governor's office responded to Dupnik's comments, releasing this statement to News 4. It says, "The new Arizona law simply provides immigration enforcement the same way that federal law, and federal authorities, currently do - states may ban what is already federal law. That's why local and state law enforcement associations, across the state, were supportive of the legislation during the several months it made its way through the arizona legislature, including the Arizona Police Association."

A team of evolutionary geneticists have determined what really caused menopause in women: men. It was previously thought that women evolved to become infertile after a certain age so that they could care for their grandchildren and coddle the next of kin. But evolutionarily speaking, that turned out to be a load of crap because, according to the laws of natural selection, our fertility should continue for as long as possible to keep the species going.
The new working theory is that men and their preference for young mates is what caused us to evolve to become infertile after a certain age. Researchers think that over time, men's competition for young women made older women's reproductive organs feel unappreciated therefore causing them to crawl under the bed and die, so to speak.

First I have to say that I wish I had found GW while still in the planning process. Unfortunately I found it after the cabinets were ordered and delivered. Since our kitchen was a DIY I wanted to keep pretty much the same footprint for budget reasons with the exception of the dishwasher that was originally on the other side of the kitchen causing wet floors while loading the dishes since it had to be carried from the sink (crazy design). I had planned for an over the range microwave but once the cabinets were ordered I decided that I wanted a hood instead. So now I have a small countertop microwave that I HATE. Can cabinets be modified once granite is installed to fit a micro? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you considered modifying an upper cabinet? There are shelves made for uppers for microwaves. |
Oh, heck yes. I just made some CL, 18x42" cabs into the stacked cabinet look. How big is your microwave? Look at that in relation to where you want it to be. Mine happens to be 23", which fit nicely into a 24" base cabinet. mpinto is right, though. it would also fit nicely into my 24" upper.... I might have to consider retrofitting that since I've discovered I hate bending down.... (thank you!) If you don't have the talent, tools, skill or (insanity) nerve, get someone to come cut out the space, trim it and help you plan for an electrician. It should not be expensive, unless you've gone and put in those worthless 12" base cabinets. Then you're going to have to cut something out spanning two cabinets, I'm stopping now. I'm fearless due to lack of knowledge, but it works out for me so far. The answer is yes. |

There are even MW's that are designed to be hung from an upper, which I prefer to one on a lower shelf. But, I'm taller than average and hate to bend down. If you're shorter than average, a MW base cabinet can work well for you and for kids. You just have to have a 30" base cabinet that you're willing to sacrifice. Remember it needs to breath properly unless it's a build in with a trim kit, which need at least a 27"W base cabinet. Or you can do a 24"W base for a MW drawer cabinet to be built in. Those can fit into a 24" cabinet if modified. |
Mine's a free-standing microwave that is 23" wide and about 20" deep. You don't necessarily need a drawer in a 24" base cabinet. I like mine, but now I wish it were higher! :) |
Depending, I might instead want to set into an upper level of a base cabinet, with drawers or a shorter door below it. |
Also, you may wish to consider a drawer microwave. It would go in the upper level of a base cabinet, and you can put a drawer below it. They come in 24" or 30" width (although they are the same size inside). |
This is why I love this forum! Thank you! I'm loving the sharp drawer now just have to convince my DH and Dad (he'll be the one to do it). I really wouldn�t mind not having a micro since I personally don't use it much but hubby insists. |
Great, glad you like the idea. As I found out doing my layout, there really is no perfect place for a conventional MW except on the counter, which I did not want. I put a drawer MW in (Thanks to Buehl), and love it. |
While we didn't get new cabinets, we did get a new granite countertop, backsplash and big old copper farm sink :) And I did NOT want to put up my over the range microwave. So, I actually bought a smaller countertop microwave and put it in the adjacent dining room. Found a small bookcase at an antique store to set it on and it works great for us. I probably use it twice a day and it's not an inconvenience to walk a few steps into the dining room. I would have hated to cover up my BS with a microwave. Hope you find a solution that works for you ;) jody |

This subject was brought up awhile back and has lots of different suggestions you might find useful in the link below. If you are handy like CE you can modify your cabinets as suggested. If it was me I would call the cabinet manufacturer and try to get a exchange or ask if they can modify the one you have to accommodate a microwave. The worse they could tell you is no! You might be able to order a cabinet and return one. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0421251224905.html |

Produce suppliers in Minnesota aren't saying they are insulated from economic doldrums that have plagued the rest of the U.S., but they do say they could have it worse.
Unemployment statewide was 5.4% in March, which was more than 2 points lower than the national average of 7.6%.
Joblessness peaked in Minnesota peaked at 8.3% in April 2009.
At least one produce dealer in Minneapolis, Wholesale Produce Supply, is trying to find workers to fill slots in its packing and transportation staffs.
"We're working hard to find people right now," president Brian Hauge said.
Sales serve as another positive economic indicator, according to a number of produce suppliers in the Twin Cities.
That's particularly true in restaurants, which often take the biggest hit when times are tough, said Dan McElroy, executive vice president of the St. Paul-based Minnesota Restaurant Association.
"In general, it's continuing to do a little better," he said.
Product costs, particularly beef and pork, continue to escalate, but foodservice outlets are coping with the help of fruits and vegetables, McElroy said.
"You're seeing more side dishes," he said. "A minor trend at the moment is savory oats, cooked with onion and garlic, to add substance to the lower cost."
Produce suppliers say they're not insulated from the caprices of the economy, but they also say they're well positioned to handle slumps.
"When things get tight and people start worrying about their jobs and worrying about their houses they (sales) take off," said Tom Rodmyre, warehouse manager for St. Paul-based Co-op Partners Warehouse.
Pressures that did exist a couple of years ago have eased noticeably, said Adam Gamble, general manager of North Country Produce, an Inver Grove Heights-based subsidiary of Wadena, Minn.-based Russ Davis Wholesale.
"I don't know if it's gotten to a point where people are certainly comfortable, but it certainly has lightened up a little as far as the tightness of consumers," Gamble said.
Retail operators, who deal with consumer issues first-hand, say sales in their produce departments are much improved these days.
"In the beginning (of the last recession), you could definitely tell people were worried, and I think, overall, our store had zero growth, but that was five years ago," said Dean Schladweiler, produce manager with The Wedge Community Co-Op, a retailer in Minneapolis.
Every year since then, the store has seen sales go up, he said.
"People are more comfortable doing the full shop now," he said, noting that produce sales account for $5.7 million of the store's $34 million in yearly sales.
At Kowalski's Markets, a nine-store retail chain based in Woodbury, Minn., the economy has not been a major problem for at least 18 months, said Tim Fortier, produce manager.
"Sure, we felt it in 2010 and 2011, but I think it's gotten better," he said.
"It sounds arrogant to say it, but I don't see us being affected by the economy."
For Maple Grove, Minn.-based Chandler-Topic. Inc., the high cost of fuel continues to be a drag on growth, said Tim Grace, spokesman.
That translates into higher prices for consumers, he said.
"But, people are still buying it," he said.
Things are better than they had been but there still is room for improvement, said Tom Bergin Jr., vice president of Bergin Fruit & Nut Co. in St. Paul.
"I was thinking it was looking rosy last fall. Now, I think it's better but not as strong as what I was hoping for," he said.
"Maybe it's safer that we're slowly coming out rather than jumping out fast."

I normally share the Economist's view on matters in Japan. However, this suggestion to nationalize Tepco is not realistic from the following reasons: First, Tepco cannot go bankrupt, as the affected residents who would be compensated for their financiall as well as mental loss, need Tepco as a going concern. In some semi-government companies like electric utilities, and communications such as NTT, are run by specific laws. In electiric power companies case, Denki Jigyo Ho ( Electirc Geenration Law). That law stipulates, the bondholders are deemed senior to other creditors such as banks and general creditors. As victims of the nuclear accident are classified as general creditors, they are subordinated to senior bondholders of Tepco. Compensation amount cannot be determined in short perido of time. Rather it would continue for years. The government may be able to ask commercial banks lending to Tepco to voluntarily accept a haircut, but no way to ask bondholders to get hit, by get the company to go bankrupt. Tepco must remain as a going concern to keep on paying to the victims, by getting a support from taxpayers. Secondly, METI bureaucrat, who tend to behave not to bear a responsibility in a failure would shy away to take direct responsibility of running the beleaguered utility. They will try not to run Tepco directly. Thus, nationalization sounds logical, but practically, it is impossible. The Economist writers and editors must dig further into intricacies of Japan's decision making process. This country badly needs an international scrutiny, but sensible comments are needed.
Nationalizing TEPCO, at least through the "cleaning up" process, would benefit Japan as a whole. Leaving the company in private hands could cause those in charge to carry out the cheapest clean up and rebuilding stage that they could get away with. By the Japanese government taking control, they would be able to overlook and create the safest and most assured process in which they want Fukushima to rebuild. This would also allow the Japanese citizens to have more of a say in how they want this mess to be taken care of.
Nationalizing the nuclear power plants in Japan would be in the best interest of the country. These dangerous weapons need to be strictly regulated to make sure disasters like this one do not happen in the future. I hope Japan will learn from their mistakes and create more safe nuclear power plants.
Throughout Japan's history, they have shown a willingness to rebuild and become even stronger and smarter than they were before. However, reports of workers possibly being exposed to radioactive water? It means that this obviously needs some more work.
As much as they want to say this is fixing the problem, they are only pushing the problem further away. Cutting the cost only endangers the workers, and will only be a short term fix. They should spend the money trying to maintain the nuclear power, and making it a safer place. This will be a much more benefit in the long term
I hate to see something like this. I just wish they would take Nuclear Energy more serious. I hate it'll take a disaster like this to have them start worrying and paying attention the the dangers of this resourcing. I know that nuclear energy is important, but something that can cause such a great disaster, just makes me wonder if it's worth it. I hate this happened to japan. Although they have cut cost in this area, that doesn't mean they have to lose there safety, and i'm sure they will again put emphasis back in the security of the people working in and around these hazardous conditions.
The March 11th Tsumani was horrendous for Japan in many ways. One aspect that was really hurt were the meltdowns of their nuclear facilities. This left Japan in a bind as to where they would get their energy from. Tepco appears to be having some problems meeting these needs and this new proposal should do the country well. The best thing to do is to have the government take ownership temporarily of the company. Although if they did keep Tepco from going bankrupt they should place some sanctions on it, over the years it has been one of the worst nuclear facilities ever in forms of sanitation and so on.
To solve Japan's rising energy cost and monopolized energy industry, TEPCO should be nationalized. This will invite competition in the energy market. Japan's lack of versatility in power cost them immensely in the Fukishima accident. TEPCO was the primary power source for most of the country. By expanding the market, an accident such as Fukishima, would not affect such a wide-range audience.
This article outlines the exact reason why Americans have become so anti-nuclear power. The risks are high. One melt down affects everyone and everything from the neighboring citizens to the national economy. Japan has found itself in yet another unfortunate situation. I completely agree with the plan that this article discusses to nationalize Tepco. The Japanese government needs to take control of the situation to ensure its future.
Cutting the nuclear energy industry cost in Japan does not seem like the best solution. By cutting these it will cause them to make changes. These changes will affect the safety of the industry and it could cause more carelessness. This could seriously affect the Japanese people if something went wrong again.
I'm ambivalent about nationalising TEPCO. In any other country, I'd agree it was a necessary step; and I concur with some of the other commenters here that private enterprise running nuclear reactors generally runs into a basic issue of fairness, since taxpayers effectively guarantee the insurance. Nationalising TEPCO in recognition of this - as the penalty for their myriad safety failures - seems reasonable, and a good way for a fresh start.
But, the Japanese government is hardly blameless. The response to the nuclear crisis, in its first few days when rapid intervention and clear information flows could still have prevented things ever getting this far, was poor, at best. Large amounts of radiation were released from the nuclear waste ponds on-site, which were only present because of short-sighted legislation that restricted transport and off-site storage. TEPCO could not have failed in its basic duty of care if the nuclear regulators had not permitted it to do so. Handing control of TEPCO to the regulators at this stage runs the very real danger of changing nothing in terms of safety, but inflating costs with extra red tape and bureaucracy.
Japan needs to address concerns about its nuclear power plants, for the simple reason that nuclear power plants only fail when they've not been safety-proofed enough - considering the two worst nuclear accidents in history have been Chernobyl (Soviet mismanagement and extremely shoddy contruction with little concern for safety), and Fukushima Dai-ichi (TEPCO keeping an obsolete plant running without retrofitting recomennded safety improvements, in the name of cost-cutting), the pattern seems pretty clear: nuclear disasters on this scale happen when reactor operators don't apply internationally accepted safety standards, and governments let them get away with it. Or, worse, tacitly encourage it.
Since the majority of plants in Japan were unaffected (or rather, all damage was handled correctly and posed no external danger, despite many other coastal plants being hit by the tsunami), nuclear power overall has been shown to be pretty safe, knee-jerk fears aside.
One aside, I've noticed a number of commenters on this and other pieces referencing the massive 'environmental' damage that nuclear plants can cause. This is demonstrably untrue; Chernobyl, by far the worst nuclear accident in history, is now a thriving new-growth forest, whose animals and plants show no signs of significant radiation impacts. Nuclear meltdowns are a human social issue, not an environmental one - humans are 'unlucky' enough to have a long enough lifespan that cancer in 40 years is a significant medical problem, whereas most species on Earth simply do not live long enough to notice.
It surprises me that after what Japan has dealt with in the past from nuclear power that they would go back to using it again. After the disaster they just went through last March and the devastation from the nuclear power plants it would really do them good to invest in another form of energy. They live in a tsunami prone area what's to stop them from having another and going through the same amount of destruction?
A lot of people are scared about what nationalizing an industry could mean for a government. (Oh no communism!!) But in reality, nationalization of many companies, especially energy ones, are better off being nationalized, just like the US's power industry. Tax payers are already pouring money into this industry, so perhaps it's already "owned" by the government anyway, so why not take the final step? Especially when vital things like safety precautions are a problem.
Nuclear power definitely has a place in the world as an intermediary power source. One that would allow us to move from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. But nuclear fission has no place in the world a hundred years from now. We are seeing countries like Germany and Japan moving away from nuclear energy. The U.S. has always been intimidated by fission and hasn't even considered it as a major energy source. I don't think we should totally get rid of nuclear power, but fission is only a temporary energy supply that will be soon replaced with less wasteful methods.
There's no reason Japanese government and industry members can't rise above traditional closed, colluding influences to make the country's nuclear-power systems safe and reliable.
This means, however, opening the political/technical discussions to realities beyond just addressing LWR (light-water reactor) design mistakes of the past. It means re-reading what we in the US were told 49 years ago last month re lasting nuclear power, free of fossil-fuel dependence and dependence on fuel rarer than Silver.
It also mean waking up to the mistakes we in the US made decades ago when we defunded, working, lasting, safe nuclear-power that the Chinese have now assigned $1B to complete.
Ignorance of the past leads to a more ignorant, dangerous future.

(let's see if the Economist's teutonic 'spam filter' accepts the above)
Dr. A. Cannara
I think that Japan will indeed nationalize TEPCO for a period of time to soften the blow. However, I can also see arguments over how long and how much money should be used to help TEPCO.
The question I often wonder in the wake of this meltdown is not whether or not nuclear reactors should be run, but whether or not they are viable enterprise for private business. Globally, nuclear power provides a very small percentage of energy demands, yet it often takes the spotlight in terms of safety issues. Is it safe for a private business, who will be concerned primarily with profit, to use and control this technology which has been denied to many other areas of the world? Can they exceed the demands of their customers and shareholders and envision a plan which safely operates to supply stable energy to the community but also security to not only the customers and employees, but also to the surrounding community? Tepco will be one of the first to answer this.
It will not be the best idea to cut costs in Japan's nuclear industry if they want to help with the disaster and with future prevention. They will only be creating more problems by cutting costs. This will ultimately affect the nuclear industry in a negative manor, by making it unsafe. If Japan wants safer designs and better materials, then they must make an effort and put money into it. It is essentially up to them to provide a safer nuclear industry.
If Japan does decide to nationalize Tepco, that does not mean conditions will get better. It will look better for the Japanese tax payers, but cost cutting might make it even more dangerous. The nuclear power plants will continue to need immediate help and the government might not be the fastest solution for this. Also, like the article states, it might lead to even more unsafe work conditions as they try to get the plants back online.
I do not understand why japan is rebuilding th plant when everyone is aware of its vulnerabilities. Japan is earthquake/tsunami proned and another hit will surely put nuclear power plants out of the question. Why do the just import power from somewhere else like some european countries? Fukushima was a level 7 accident on the scale and you can not get any worst than that.

MRI Services at Newton-Wellesley Hospital
Family Health Source, Summer 2008
The Radiology Department at Newton-Wellesley Hospital offers innovative and comprehensive diagnostic imaging services and expertise in all areas of radiology including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The Hospital has a renowned MRI program with a long tradition of exceptional patient care and access to MRI specialists in a comfortable and convenient setting.
"Our Radiology Department provides advanced MRI services from specialists in the field focusing on patient-centered care," says Jeffrey J. Greenberg, MD, Associate Chair of Radiology and Medical Director of MRI at Newton-Wellesley. "Our goal is to offer our patients the benefits of the latest technological advances in MRI while continuing to maintain the highest level of compassionate care."
Our radiology experts at the Hospital are committed to providing superior MRI scans for patients and upholding the service and quality standards that exist within the Radiology Department.
"Newton-Wellesley is able to have a great impact on the communities we serve by providing convenient and accessible diagnostic imaging services," says Daniel Z. Silverstone, MD, Associate Medical Director of MRI at Newton-Wellesley. "As a member of the Partners HealthCare System, we are able to provide patients access to the full breadth of exams, services and expertise. It is exciting to be able to deliver this care in a community hospital setting."
Meeting Patient Needs
The Radiology Department has an efficient system in place to quickly and effectively provide access to images and reports for all members of a patient's health provider team. Results from each MRI scan are integrated into the Partners Healthcare electronic medical record system. With a focus on patient privacy, this paperless documentation system also allows referring physicians outside Newton-Wellesley Hospital immediate and confidential access to their patient's records.
This technology virtually eliminates the need for written charts, reduces error and provides a smoother transition for patients during their MRI experience. Referring physicians can access their patients' results and scans directly from their office computer - offering seamless continuity of care for each patient who comes for an MRI scan.
"We put our patients at the center of the care we provide," says Dr. Greenberg. "Our advanced information technology enables the medical team involved in each patient's care to have access not only to the MR findings but also to other imaging studies and laboratory results, creating an environment where specialists can collaborate over a 'virtual table' and provide the best care plan for each patient."
Commitment to Patient Care
Newton-Wellesley has made a Hospital-wide commitment to achieving the highest level of patient satisfaction. The MRI team is dedicated to providing high-quality care while offering patients the most advanced services including innovative diagnostic equipment and the latest technology. The Radiology Department has earned a great reputation for quality and ease of access and will continue to uphold these standards in MRI.
"The MRI services at Newton-Wellesley is a highly regarded comprehensive program that brings our community access to world-class imaging," says Dr. Silverstone. "Our radiologists have a wide variety of sub-specialty expertise and therefore, are able to put each patient's care at the center of a very large and expert circle."
MRI Expertise
The MRI technical staff are committed to helping patients have a comfortable experience during their MRI exam. Newton-Wellesley MRI technologists are nationally certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and are licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The diagnostic radiologists at the Hospital are physicians with extensive experience and expertise in the interpretation of MRI images. All of our radiologists are board certified and many have subspecialty certification and expertise in specific fields of radiology. This qualified team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to interpret MRI scan results.
Areas of subspecialty expertise in MRI at Newton-Wellesley include:
- Board Certified Neuroradiologists
- Fellowship-Trained Musculoskeletal Radiologists
- Fellowship-Trained Body Imaging Radiologists
- American College of Radiology-Accredited Breast Imaging Service with Advanced Breast MRI Expertise
- Board Certified Pediatric Radiologists
The MRI expertise at the Hospital supports many of the clinical service lines and provides crucial information for diagnostic decisions and treatment plans. The Hospital continues to be a leader in offering new technology to patients. Newton-Wellesley was one of the first community hospitals to use arthrography with MRI - a specialized procedure to evaluate alterations in the structure and function of joints. These advanced scans enable physicians in the Kaplan Joint Center to diagnose joint conditions and care for their patients' joint care needs.
The Hospital provides specialized pediatric MRI services including a dedicated sedation program. In order to optimize the diagnostic quality of the study, the pediatric anesthesia physicians provide on-site sedation or general anesthesia in the MRI suite for children needing MRI studies.
"Another specific area of MRI services that distinguishes Newton-Wellesley as a leader in the field is breast MR imaging," says Dr. Silverstone. "We are one of the few hospitals in Massachusetts who have seamlessly integrated MRI services into our breast health service line - The Auerbach Breast Center at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. We have radiologists who are experts in the field of breast MRI who are committed to providing exceptional services to our patients."
Since MRI at Newton-Wellesley is a Hospital-based program, radiologists have broad expertise reading a variety of complex cases together with all other corresponding CT scans, ultrasound, PET scans and nuclear medicine studies.
The Hospital provides all essential MRI services including brain, spine and orthopaedic imaging; however, the MRI team also supports various other Newton-Wellesley clinical service lines including:
- Kaplan Joint Center
- Maureen E. Egan Gastroenterology Unit
- Center for Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
- Maxwell Blum Emergency Department
- Center for Weight Loss Surgery
- Spine Center
- Hand surgery
- Pediatrics
- Vascular surgery
"Compared to an outpatient center, we see more rare and complicated studies. This requires our MRI radiologists to maintain a high level of expertise and to stay current on all the latest trends in our field," says Dr. Greenberg. "We are always looking for ways to expand our services and offer patients the most innovative imaging techniques and we hope to continue to expand these services in the future. Newton-Wellesley is a leader in MRI and is committed to staying current with technology while offering convenient, patient-centered care."

These skate decks combining animals and shapes were designed by Sydney Toler (2014 Digital Arts and Design graduate) for a class assignment.
These screen shots were taken from Mark of Valor, a fast-paced third-person hack-n-slash game developed by a group of Game Design and Game Development students. The game takes place in a dark fantasy world of skeletons, minotaurs, and centaurs where Azureal is on a quest to stop his evil brother from destroying villages. Watch a play through of the game and download a copy for yourself over on the Game Project Web Portal.

When a congregation reaches the point of calling a minister, it needs a section in the bylaws dealing with the nature of the relationship between the congregation and minister, the basic responsibilities of the minister, procedures for calling a minister, and procedures for terminating the relationship. Many congregations also include the composition and structure of the Ministerial Search Committee and provisions concerning leave and sabbatical policies, although these provisions can easily be covered in the minister's letter of agreement. Congregations without ministers also may include a ministerial section of the bylaws in anticipation of future ministerial leadership.
The following sections explore provisions for the minister:

Lew Kosich, the Montana State Billings men's and women's tennis coach, announced his retirement.
The retirement will be effective July 1.
Kosich, a 1964 Billings Senior graduate and former Navy fighter pilot, led the MSUB programs for four seasons.
His men's teams were 24-39, while the women were 12-54.
In 2011, Kosich guided the MSUB men's team to its only NCAA Division II tournament berth where the Yellowjackets lost to Nebrask-Kearney 5-4 in the Central Region final.
"We would like to thank coach Kosich for leading our tennis program the past four years," said MSUB athletic director Krista Montague. "We applaud his leadership and service to MSU Billings and his contributions to the community are greatly appreciated. We wish him all the best and a very happy retirement."
The MSUB athletic department will hold a retirement party for coach Kosich on June 30 at 2 p.m. in the PE Building lobby.

noun \ˌȯr-nə-ˈthis-kē-ən\Definition of ORNITHISCHIAN
Origin of ORNITHISCHIAN
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Any of the bird-hipped dinosaur species (order Ornithischia), herbivores with hip bones arranged like those of modern birds, with the pubis bone pointed backward. Many species had a toothless, horny beak and powerful cheek teeth. Ornithischians flourished from the Late Triassic to the Late Cretaceous Epoch (227–65 million years ago). Many species (in the suborder Cerapoda) were bipedal and had ornate skull structures. Some were quadrupedal, with a massive head culminating in a great bony frill. Other quadrupeds (in the suborder Thyreophora) had small heads and were heavily plated and armoured along the back, and some had armour on the flanks and head as well. See also protoceratops; saurischian; stegosaur; triceratops.

CoffeeShop Frames 12 - Vintage Frame and Edit!
I love vintage photos, and I had so much fun creating these two new vintage web frames. These are unique as they have a vintage texture within the layered frame that you can use to instantly age your photo, so no messing with actions or additional adjustment layers! I used a paper texture from PlayingwithBrushes from Flickr in this frame. She has a huge selection of gorgeous vintage textures, so please check out her page.
Instructions (for additional instructions on making a vintage B&W image, please click here):
1. Open your image.
2. Open the vintage frame.
It will have 3 layers. Make sure the Clipping Mask layer is selected.
3. Click on the move tool (v), click on your image, and then hold down your left button and move it over on top of the frame.
4. Group the image to the clipping mask (if you are new to grouping, check out my Clipping Mask Tutorial). Make sure the image is above the clipping mask and below the Vintage Texture as seen below.
5. Free Transform your image to fit in the frame (Ctrl-T). Hold shift if you are using Photoshop, don't hold shift and make sure constrain proportions is checked in PSE before dragging or your image will be distorted.
5. The Vintage Texture layer is preset to Multiple, blending mode 100%. Your image is now instantly vintage!
6. I wanted a brighter image, so I made a duplicate of the Vintage Texture layer (I clicked on the Vintage Texture layer, Ctrl-J, and then grouped the copy with the original texture later, see below) and put that layer in Soft Light, 100% blending mode for the final image seen below. I love the distressed effect.
I had so much fun making these frames and putting together this little tutorial. Please post your before/afters in my CoffeeShop Facebook Page if you can. I would love to see your results.
Download the free CoffeeShop Frames 12 Vintage set at Dropbox instant download or annoying MediaFire. I just joined DropBox and I would love to know what you think of it as a file sharing site. If you click on the DropBox link you directly get the download, so you don't have to worry about pop-ups or trying to figure out what to click on. The CoffeeShop Frames 12 are also included in my CoffeeShop Design Pack.

Where is Block Authoring Palette in 2013????
I want to make dynamic block...
But i couldnt find Block Authoring Palette to parameters...Actions....
Help me!
I am using AutoCAD 2013 for Mac as students lisence.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by pendean. See the answer in context.
This is the WINDOWS forum, the MAC forum is elsewhere:
After issuing _bedit command and selecting block to edit or typing new name the block editor opens.....
The authoring palette can be found by clicking "Authoring Palette" on the "Manage" area of the Block Editor Ribbon. If you dont see the palette it maybe off screen - this usually happens when you have a dual screen setup.
Try swapping the screens around in windows display setting then launch autocad again - move the palette to where you will see it then revert back to original screen setup.
Depending on your graphics card setup you may be able to force tools/controls launced by AutoCAD to Autocad's application window only. I know we can do this using the nvidia desktop manager.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Bro..
But i still clount find that palatte....
Are you using MAC Version AutoCAD 2013 or WINDOWS ?
I am Using MAC 2013. and Mac Version have different interface. [No ribon interface]
So. I Really dont know... Why i can not find it!!
Frist Question... Does Mac2013 version have that palatte????
Anyone can make sure?
Apologies, I didnt notice the ref to using mac...
Unfortunately Ive very little experiance with AutoCAD on the MAC, some 10mins infact. Its too different from the PC version for my tastes so I cant help....
Dont be~! Thnks very much!
All Best for you~!

You'll only ever be one click away from the latest news on Twoo, the world's friendliest social discovery platform. I had never heard of this social platform before, but once you dive in it does offer a lot to your casual web user.
Link Alert
Aug/21 in Usability
Wouldn't you like to know what type of file you are about to visit just by hovering over the link? That is what the folks who wrote this next extension must have had in mind. The Link Alert Firefox extension changes the cursor when you hover over a link to show you what type of file it is. If it is a .txt file, you get a little notepad icon. If it is an image, then you get a little picture icon. Such a simple idea, but it works and works well.

Home › Academics › Colleges › Collins College of Business › Business Career Center › Recent Events › Fall 2011
Welcome back to school! The Business Career Center helped students start the year off right by setting up in the north lobby of Helmerich Hall. The students were given the opportunity to meet the Business Career Center staff, pick up information about campus interviews and events, and have some refreshments! The Business Career Center looks forward to meeting with all business students this year.
At the first workshop of the fall semester, students were able to learn techniques for creating a winning resume. Participants also learned about how to interview successfully and a drawing was held for three portfolios and three business card holders. Using these techniques, TU business students will be able to effectively conduct their job search and land the internship or full-time position they want.
The presenter was Marsha Casebeer from U.S. Cellular, who was able to share many of the experiences she has encountered as an employer.
Students attending this workshop had the opportunity to learn about the importance of networking and how to make the most of every interaction with an employer. The workshop was presented by Sarah Phelps, Human Resources Advisor from Samson. A drawing was held for three portfolios and three business card holders.
This event, presented by Jana Christian from The Etiquette School of Oklahoma, was a huge opportunity for students to learn what it takes to be a polished professional. An expert in business etiquette, Ms. Christian taught students all of the details of how to dress properly to make a great first impression. Handouts provided information for students to refer to when choosing the right attire for their business needs. Drawings were held for shoe polish and lint rollers, and one $50 and two $25 gift cards to help students get started picking out the perfect interview suit.
The biggest workshop of the semester so far was the Interview Strategies. This workshop was a great opportunity for students to learn firsthand what to expect and how to handle an interview. With fall recruitment happening right now at TU, these lessons will be very valuable to every student in attendance. Drawings were held for three portfolios and three business card holders. The workshop was presented by Janna Garretson of Bank of Oklahoma.
Cerner set up in the north lobby of Helmerich Hall for students to stop and visit with the representative about the company as an employer and possible job openings available.
Cerner is a worldwide company headquartered in Kansas City, MO specializing in providing IT solutions to the health care industry. Their systems optimize all health care operations from single-doctor practices to entire countries and they are committed to innovations that will continue to improve the health care industry.
Thirty-six employers set up booths in Helmerich Hall on September 21st for the Business Job Fair. Employers from all disciplines were there to talk to TU students about job opportunities and the careers they had to offer. Students were able to mingle and meet with many employers and network for new contacts. The job fair is very beneficial to students in their job search.
Teach for America set up in the north lobby of Helmerich Hall on Monday, October 3rd so students could visit about the opportunities available through this program.
Teach for America is a non-profit organization that recruits college students from all majors to teach for two years in rural or urban areas. It also partners with companies such as Google, McKinsey and Goldman Sachs so that business students can use their skills and make a difference in communities across the country, while receiving full compensation and extra aid to pay off student loans.
Northwestern Mutual Financial Network visited with students in the north lobby then provided an information session at noon. They are recruiting students interested in a career with a company whose interests are in financial investment, financial advising and financial planning. NMFN is ranked as one of the top 10 internships in the nation.
Founded in 1857, Northwestern Mutual has lived through the Civil War, the Crash of 1929, the Great Depression, two world wars, and numerous recessions. They are well-positioned to help people manage financial risk and achieve financial security in today's complex world.
The Buckle set up a display in the lobby of Helmerich Hall to visit with students about career opportunities. Buckle is a fast-growing clothing retailer and has many opportunities for students to get into the management career path. Their mission is to create the most enjoyable shopping experience for their guests and they do so with over 400 stores in 41 states, which carry name brand and private label apparel. Buckle also had an information session where students could learn about the many opportunities available.
Cargill had two employers set up in Helmerich Hall lobby to introduce their company to our students. Cargill is an international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial and industrial products and services. Founded in 1865, this privately held company employs 138,000 people in 63 countries. They help customers succeed through collaboration and innovation and are committed to sharing global knowledge and experience to help meet economic, environmental and social challenges. Thousands of customers turn to Cargill for innovative solutions across their four major market segments: agriculture, food, financial and industrial.
Cargill employers also had an information session Monday, October 24 from 6-7 p.m. in ACAC.
This workshop was held to give students considering entering the academic field a chance to hear first-hand from TU business professors about what it takes to be a college professor. The panelists were Dr. Linda Nichols, Collins Professor of Accounting, Dr. Wen-Chyuan Chiang, Professor of Operations Management, Dr. Brian Walkup, Assistant Professor of Finance and Dr. Richard Redner, Professor of Mathematical Sciences. They answered a range of questions from applying to doctoral programs to the lifestyle of a business professor. Students were able to ask their own questions at the end of the workshop and acquired a lot of valuable information. Lunch was provided and a drawing held for a TU blanket and a portfolio.
