802-767-4653 Rochester, Vt 05767 Open to the Public |
Welcome to the White River Golf Club! Although Old Man Winter was cruel to many of the area golf courses, my course was fortunate to avoid any damage. Playing conditions are better than ever! Widely considered to be one of the best walking courses in Vermont. For those who wish to ride, golf carts are available.
The newly designed 9 hole layout has been overwhelmingly received by our golfers. Players wishing to test their handicap can choose the back tees, which play to a Par 36 with 3 Par three's, 3 Par fours, and 3 Par fives. Although significantly more challenging from the back tees, the choice of one of three forward tee locations continues to offer a relaxed and pleasurable round of golf for the occasional golfer. Anyone interested in playing 18 holes can surely find an accommodating assortment of tee placements if you play the course twice. Both family friendly and welcoming to novice golfers, White River Golf Club is an ideal choice for everyone, including small social gatherings and fund raisers. Nestled along the spine of the Green Mountains, one cannot help but be entranced by this beautiful setting. Conveniently located twelve miles from the Killington town line on route 100 north, the White River Golf Club is an inexpensive alternative to the resort courses in the area. Throughout the season I will be offering special promotions so please check for these on our Facebook page, or give us a call for details. Currently we offer a free 2nd nine holes, if tee off is prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. 7 days a week.
So come on out and play! You won't be disappointed!

Breastfeeding Tips for New Mothers
We aren't midwives or lactation consultants but we are strong proponents of breastfeeding. It is the best thing for the baby and for you. The World Health Organisation recommends that infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life and that breastfeeding should continue for up to 2 years and beyond if mutually desired by both the mother and child.
Breastfeeding mothers get protection against certain cancers and have a host of other medical benefits. Breastfed babies are healthier and studies have shown that there are increases in their IQ scores as well. Some mums say breastfeeding helps them lose weight too. Breastfeeding is also convenient – no need to think about packing bottles and no worries about staying out longer than planned – your food supply is always with you. It is especially easy when feeding during the middle of the night – you hardly even have to wake up to feed the baby! Breastfeeding isn't always easy to learn how to do, especially in the beginning. And if your baby has complications such as delivery via c-section or suctioning at birth, it can be even more difficult. Stick with it, and get some expert help early and it will work and you will enjoy it (eventually). It is an incredible bonding experience for both mother and baby. We've put together a range of tips from successful breastfeeding mums but if you are having difficulties don't delay seeing your midwife, doctor, or a lactation consultant:
We cherished the time breastfeeding our babies. All the very best for yours. |

But, although the health of the economy and state of the job market rank consistently as Americans' top concerns in polls, Washington's attention to the question of how to improve job creation has ebbed and flowed.
Several factors explain the recent resurgence, and most of them are not too difficult to guess:
• The election campaign for 2012 is ramping up. Candidates including the current occupant of the White House are feeling the strong incentive to focus on what matters to voters. The latter group includes lots of people without jobs, people who worry they could lose their job, and people who know their own finances would be helped by a stronger, job-growing economy.
• Labor Day is coming this weekend. It's an event that doesn't always factor into the nation's policy calculus. But with the weak economy, the holiday and the end of summer vacations provide a calendar prompt for job ideas to surface right around now.
• The economy is crying for help. Yes, unemployment has been a persistent problem for several years, but the sense of economic emergency arguably is higher now than at any time since the spring of 2009, when the Federal Reserve and Treasury were still wielding financial-crisis fire extinquishers. Economists in recent weeks shifted toward a heightened concern about the possibility of a new recession, and a flight to safety in financial markets has buoyed gold and US Treasury bonds. And this week a widely watched index of consumer confidence hit a two-year low.
• Jobs have cycled higher relative to other priorities. The flow of Washington imperatives since the financial crisis has sometimes seen jobs get eclipsed. In 2009 Mr. Obama pivoted for months toward health-care reform. This year Republicans have kept the spotlight on their goal of curbing federal spending and deficits. Having signed a Budget Control Act last month, based on a bipartisan deficit-reduction deal, Obama is eager to put the focus back on jobs.
If Obama can win Republican support for some policies that help the economy, that could help lift sagging approval ratings and bolster his reelection chances. If Republicans oppose his proposals, Obama can at least make that a campaign talking point, casting Republicans as obstructionists or obsessed soley with spending cuts.
For Republican rivals who hope to unseat Obama, unveiling policies aimed at employment gives them a chance to contrast themselves with what they argue has been a presidency of economic failures. Where Obama has emphasized efforts at temporary stimulus (a $787 billion Recovery Act, payroll-tax breaks, and more), Mr. Huntsman's plan, for example, focuses on a proposed permanent streamlining of the tax code and reducing regulatory burdens.
In fairness to Obama, he and other Democrats might embrace permanent tax reforms as well.

Top Financial Short-Squeeze Plays
With the financial sector dominating the business news headlines, and financial stocks such as Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report) and JPMorgan (JPM - Get Report) helping to lead some moves higher, now may be the time to look at heavily shorted names in the sector in anticipation of a snapback, when short-sellers scramble to cover their positions.
This is especially true with companies such as Lehman Brothers (LEH) and UBS (UBS), who are fighting the short-sellers by issuing stock to increase their liquidity. The key ratio for analyzing short-squeezes is the short ratio, which represents the number of days it would take for those shorting a stock to cover their bearish positions should the stock start moving higher, based on the stock's recent average daily trading volume.
With this in mind, Stockpickr has compiled a list of the Top Financial Short-Squeeze Plays.
One of the stocks with a high short ratio is Woori Finance Holdings (WF - Get Report), a South Korean-based financial services and banking company with a short ratio of 45.5. The stock rose 9% April 1, following Lehman Brothers' liquidity news. Woori has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 6.6 and a P/E-to-growth ratio of 0.6.
Woori appears in a Stockpickr portfolio called South Korean Stocks You Can Invest In From US. Other stocks in the portfolio include Kookmin Bank (KB), which has a 1.4 short ratio, Shinhan Financial Group (SHG), with a 0.9 short ratio, and SK Telecom (SKM), with a short ratio of 2. Another stock with a high short ratio is Greenhill & Co (GHL - Get Report), a New York investment banking firm with a short ratio of 34.2. The company recently appointed its managing director Richard Lieb to the chief financial officer position. The stock has a forward P/E ratio of 14.6, a PEG of 1 and a yield of 2.5%. Greenhill is a stock owned by Al Gore's investment vehicle, Generation Investment Management. Gore also owns shares of Johnson Controls (JCI), with a short ratio of 4, Aflac (AFL), with a 2.1 short ratio, and Becton, Dickinson (BDX), which has a short ratio of 0.9. Enstar Group (ESGR - Get Report) is another financial stock with a high short ratio; the manager of insurance companies has a short ratio of 24.1. The company recently closed its acquisition of AMP Limited's Australian-based reinsurance and insurance operations. The stock has a trailing P/E ratio of 22. Enstar is a favorite of top stock value investor and hedge fund manager Michael Price. He also holds Tyco Electronics (TEL), which has a 1.9 short ratio, CBS (CBS), with a 5.5 short ratio, and Northwestern (NWEC), with an 11.6 short ratio.

"The quality of the paper and the print with the gold leaf embossed into the paper was more than I could have asked! We also got the trimmed edges which were perfect. Amazing quality, great price and super fast. All around love it."
"The second my guests received this invitation , they all called me to tell me how beautiful they are. I am obsessed with my invitation! I changed the response cards to add the number of people and got rid of the food options. I also added a reception card. I was hesitant to order my wedding invitations online but they truly came out perfect."
"Absolutely gorgeous invite! We chose white shimmer paper with black writing on a silver backing, and it looks amazing! The paper quality is perfect, and there are no ink smudges or anything, they look perfect! My friends love them, and the affordability beats out the competition by a long shot! We couldn't be happier!"
"I was very pleasently surprised with my overall experience! Once i submitted what I wanted, I went back a forth a bit on changes and formatting. The customer services responded in a very timly manner, adjusted per my changes quickly and allowed me multiple times to review the proof before actually submitting my order. I got these is the shimmer pearl, and they look fanstasic."
"I love the simplicity of these invitations, and the foil stamping really makes them feel "expensive."

Former Teacher to Spend 19 Years in Prison
POSTED: Thursday, July 15, 2010 - 8:06am
UPDATED: Thursday, July 15, 2010 - 8:06am
Former choir teacher at Besteiro Middle School finally learned his fate during his sentencing. 47-year-old Ramiro Lozano will spend the next 19 years behind bars for taking pictures of 13-year-old boys exposing their private parts. According to court documents, Lozano admitted to convincing three 13-year-old boys, students at the middle school, to expose themselves while the ex-teacher took pictures.
Initially, Lozano was arrested in December 2008 after Weslaco Police found him sleeping in his car on the side of the road. After searching his car, police found several pornographic DVD's along with a laptop and digital camera containing images of child pornography. Lozano later confessed to authorities to have taken pictures of the three students at the middle school. The former choir teacher was fired in January 2009 and remained in custody throughout the case.

ASHLAND, Ore. – In light of stormy conditions and numerous fire starts in the area, Ashland Fire & Rescue is advising all residents to prepare for evacuation, even those who don't live near any of the areas being affected.
Spokespeople with the department say those who wait until an evacuation notice is issued often forget important items. They advise all residents to have a meet-up place in mind, have a pack with food and supplies for up to 72-hours, keep a full tank of gas in the car, and have all important insurance documents in-hand.
They also say to pack other things well in advance just in case.
"Any medications, medications aren't easy to come by, especially if they're prescription. You probably want to make sure you have a charger for your electronic devices," said Division Chief Margueritte Hickman.
If you have any questions about evacuations, Ashland Fire & Rescue operates a 24-hour hotline.
That can be reached at 541-552-2490 or online at www.ashlandcert.org.

Ever notice those little holes in the bags we ship our coffee in? Believe it or not, we actually take the time to punch them into every bag. This allows the coffee to breathe during shipping and in your green coffee storage area.
Air circulation is important. In humid environments, condensation can form in an airtight bag or container since the moisture both in the coffee and around it has nowhere to go but if you live in an environment with stable temperature, you shouldn't have to worry. Some folks like to store green coffee in cloth bags which we think is an excellent method for large amounts and longer storage times but the plastic bags you receive your coffee in work very well too.
The best way to keep your coffee fresh is to simply roast, brew and drink it within a month or so after it gets to your doorstep. Leave it to us to worry about bulk storage. We are lucky to have a warehouse that is very stable in temperature. It does get a little cold during the winter but never too hot during the summer.
Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca Rosma is as juicy as ever, loaded with honey and dark sugars, as well as fruits like blackberry and grape. This makes for a syrupy bodied cup, and at Full City roast, shots of espresso are out of this world! Look out for tomorrow's additions too, which include one more Guatemala as well as two more Kenyas.
Guatemala Acatenango Gesha is very, well, 'Gesha' in character with all the florals, sweet citrus, and fruited notes we've come to expect from this particular coffee. It's such a beautiful cup, especially in the City/City+ roast ranges. This year saw a good harvest, so we're offering it in 1, 2, and 5lb increments.
Guatemala Huehuetenango Cuilco is a custom-built lot by us, put together from several farm samples of closely neighboring farms in the Cuilco region. This coffee strikes a nice balance between brown sugar sweetness, roasted nut flavors, and malic acidity, making a great brewed cup and a fairly 'classic' profiled SO espresso.
How I brew coffee at home by Maria
Basically, I don't make coffee at home. I usually drink green tea
"The reasons are simple:
1) I like good coffee.
2) I am sloppy about measuring and brew time, and this invariably means a sub-par cup.
3) Despite running a coffee business, I do not usually have fresh coffee at home, and I don't want to brew something old.
4) Going out for coffee is risky. Even if I pay $4 a cup (which is sort of ridiculous), I am...

Spies swapped in Vienna are flown to Russia and the US
Ten people who spied for Moscow in the US have arrived in Russia after being deported as part of the biggest spy swap since the Cold War.
They were driven away from a Moscow airport in a convoy of vehicles hours after the exchange in Vienna, Austria.
A US jet which picked up four Russians freed by the Kremlin has landed in Washington.
It reportedly dropped two of them off in the UK en route.
Washington said the spy swap had been completed successfully.
At the scene
On the international arrivals board at Dulles Airport in Washington there was no sign of a flight from Brize Norton in the UK.
Nor was there any sign of an official welcoming committee for the prisoners from Russia. Their arrival was private and low-key.
At exactly 1730 local time a red-and-white Vision Airlines plane descended through the haze. It landed smoothly on the runway. It taxied along until it was out of sight of the main terminal building.
Few passengers inside the terminal appeared to notice or care about the arrival of the unannounced flight.
I wasn't able to see anyone get off the plane. But it's thought that the aircraft was carrying some of the prisoners released by Moscow.
Cold War tradition suggests that the released prisoners will now be debriefed, perhaps by the CIA. It may not be too difficult for the agency - its headquarters at Langley, Virginia, are only half an hour's drive from this airport.
Without mentioning the actual swap, Russia said the 10 people freed by the US had been released "for humanitarian considerations", and it noted "the general improvement of Russia-US relations".
The exposure of the deep-cover Russian spying ring last month had raised questions about how genuine was the Kremlin's commitment to good relations with the White House - the Obama administration's so-called "reset".
It has emerged that the US considered making the swap even before it broke up the Russian spy ring last month.
In another development, the UK's Home Office said it was urgently reviewing whether to deprive one of the Russian spies, Anna Chapman, of her British passport.
She has the passport because of her previous marriage to a Briton.
The 10 Russian agents, who include the Peruvian partner of one of the men, were jetted out of the US after admitting to spying illegally for a foreign country.
Their plane landed in Vienna around the same time as a Russian government plane carrying four released prisoners, three of whom have convictions for spying against Russia.
One of those with an espionage conviction is nuclear specialist Igor Sutyagin, who has always insisted that information he provided was available from open sources.
Spy swap
Deported from US
- "Richard Murphy" and "Cynthia Murphy" admitted they were Russians Vladimir Guryev (44) and Lydia Guryev (39)
- "Donald Howard Heathfield" and "Tracey Lee Ann Foley" admitted they were Russians Andrei Bezrukov (49) and Elena Vavilova (47)
- "Michael Zottoli" and "Patricia Mills" admitted they were Russians Mikhail Kutsik (49) and Natalia Pereverzeva (36)
- "Juan Lazaro" admitted he was Russian Mikhail Vasenkov (66) - married to Vicky Pelaez (55), journalist born in Peru
- Anna Chapman, 28 (maiden name Anya Kushchenko) - real estate entrepreneur, daughter of Russian diplomat
- Mikhail Semenko - apparently operated under own name
- MISSING - 11th suspect known as "Christopher Metsos", disappeared while on bail in Cyprus
Deported from Russia
- Igor Sutyagin, nuclear scientist jailed in 2004 for spying for CIA
- Sergei Skripal, ex-military intelligence (GRU), jailed for spying for UK in 2006
- Alexander Zaporozhsky, ex-agent of foreign intelligence service (SVR), jailed for spying in 2003
- Gennady Vasilenko, said to be former KGB agent, jailed in 2006 over illegal weapons
The BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna says the spy swap took place in broad daylight.
They were parked close to the main passenger terminals, rather than in a secluded part of the airport, she says.
Commercial jets continued to take off and land during the swap.
The rest of the airport was full of holidaymakers and business passengers, many unaware of the major diplomatic incident happening so close at hand, our correspondent adds.
Then the two planes took off again after 90 minutes, the Russian jet leaving first, bound for Moscow's Domodedovo airport.
The American plane made a brief stopover at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, England, where some people were seen getting off.
Unnamed sources told news agencies that two of the four Russians were dropped off before the plane headed across the Atlantic.
It landed at Washington Dulles airport later on Friday.
A White House official has revealed that the Obama administration was considering a spy swap well before the 10 were arrested on 27 June.
White House officials were first briefed on the spy ring in February, while President Barack Obama was made aware of the case on 11 June, the source said.
"The idea of a swap was discussed among the administration's national security team before the arrests were made," the source added.
According to the same official, the US itself chose the names of the four men to be freed by Moscow.
Its decision was based on "humanitarian concerns, health concerns, and other reasons".
Peter Earnest, a former CIA officer, welcomed the release of the four.
"This sends a powerful signal to people who co-operate with us that we will stay loyal to you," he told the Associated Press news agency.
"Even if you have been in jail for years, we will not forget you."
DebriefingThe assumption is that the 10 spies now in Russia will be debriefed by the authorities and will be kept away from the media for the time being, the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports from Domodedovo.
The Kremlin's refusal to acknowledge the spy swap has even taken place is perhaps an attempt to hide its own embarrassment at the discovery of its spy ring in the US, our correspondent says.
Moscow has reportedly promised the 10 incomes and housing, and to assist in bringing their eight American-born children to Russia.
The Peruvian may want to go back to her country but the others now face starting all over again in a country that some have not seen for 10 or even 15 years.
Russian TV and radio gave the spy swap blanket coverage on Friday after largely ignoring the story the previous day.
Reporters and news readers were upbeat about the exchange, presenting it as a sign of an improvement in relations between the big powers.
They spoke in neutral terms about the prisoners on both sides, merely listing the charges they had faced.
But ordinary Russians took little satisfaction from the agents' undercover exploits, the Associated Press reports from Moscow.
"They obviously were very bad spies if they got caught," said Sasha Ivanov, a businessman walking by a Moscow train station.
"They got caught, so they should be tried."

One thing I really likes about the case is that when you open the case the iPad comes out of sleep mode ready for use no having to hit either the power or home buttons, great if you need to access your iPad for that all important email or Facebook or twitter.
The case looks very stylish and business like. |
Opens up in a book style. |
The front facing camera has a cut out, so giving full access to use for Skype etc… |
The stitching of the case is excellent, looks great and very stylish… |
The back has a cut out for the camera, it is very solid as there is a plastic ring inside to give a stronger protection… |
Silent button and volume buttons… | Hard to see but access to SIM card for 3G iPad… |
Headphone jack… | Power button… |
I must admit that I have tried other book style cases and this one is up with them or even in my view better, I found the workmanship excellent. It felt comfortable carrying it in one hand, was easy to use and to install the iPad, I knew that the iPad was secure in the case and that the screen was protected at all times.
This case would look good anywhere, from the student at UNI or the Businessperson at meetings or the office. To find out more about this case visit www.cygnett.com for purchase locations and much more. Link to case: |

1 DO NOT BUY!Stejay71 | 28/10/2010 | See all Stejay71's reviews (1)The previous two PS3 entries in the Buzz! series, Quiz TV and Quiz World offer fantastic multiplayer fun, with Quiz World proving significantly to be the the better of two. Buzz! The Ultimate Music Quiz however is absolutely shocking. Most annoyingly, it's a music quiz, yet the music clips are not licenced and it's often difficult to recognise music that you'd know instantly if it was the original being played rather than the ultra-cheap bargain supermarket budget covers this game offers instead.The regular quiz mode appears to offer no additions or improvements to Buzz! Quiz World other than adding your own faces to the characters with the PlayStation Eye, and creating your own buzzer noises, and the Move mode is completely tacked on and pointless. It's a pass the controller job, so you have to wait around while other people are taking their turns, and the Move mini-games themselves, of which there are only four, are really quite uninspiring. You get to hit the correct answer with a hammer, or shoot the correct answer with a laser, or pull the metal bar with the correct answer on with a magnet, see the theme here? But just to shake the format up a bit you do get to use a dart to pop all the balloons with a wrong answer on rather than just popping the one with the correct answer. Wow, excellent innovation there. I simply cannot understand why the developers felt the need to add any Move elements at all when the title already uses it's own custom, fun to use specialist periperhal, especially if this is the best they could come up with.For round the TV I cannot recommend Buzz! Quiz World highly enough, whereas Buzz! The Ultimate Quiz feels like a cheap rush job that does practically nothing to evolve the series other than shoe-horning in four very tedious Move mini-games. It hurts that I've had to rate this one star as even that is too highly praising this game. Please stay well clear of the Buzz! The Ultimate Music Quiz.
1 A music game without the musicThe4thViewer | 28/10/2010 | See all The4thViewer's reviews (1)VERY disappointed in the Buzz *Music* Quiz. Why on earth didn't they license the original music?? I could understand it if this was a multi topic quiz but this is a music only quiz.The other 2 Buzz games are excellent and I'd recommend them but this should never have been released.
1 Poor Poor Poorstevebubs | 29/10/2010 | See all stevebubs's reviews (1)Just picked this up as I have fond memories of the original PS2 version.This is *nothing* like it. So far I've seen little or no original music which totally detracts from the experience offered by the original.Skip this pathetic rip off and spend the money on a used PS2 with the original game...
5 BEST BUZZ YET !!peckers | 28/10/2010 | See all peckers's reviews (60)Brilliant, a lot moregame modes improved graphics and just great fun for everyone. 10 out of 10 and i can not wait for the next buzz
5 Excellent game, fantastic value for moneyabbotts1988 | 11/11/2010 | See all abbotts1988's reviews (4)Another excellent game from the buzz creators. No issues at all with the game, great graphics and fun games. Even better with 4 buzzers included, great value.

GST AustraliaSummary
A GST rate of 10% will be charged on most goods and services consumed in Australia. If you are registered for GST, you need to include GST in the price you charge your customers for goods and services they purchase from you (called sales). However, you will be able to claim a credit for the GST you have paid on your business expenses and other inputs (called a GST credit). You have to pay the difference between GST charged on sales and GST credits to the Tax Office periodically.
There are two types of sales which will be treated differently.1. Suppliers of GST-free goods and services will not have to pay GST when they make a sale but they will be entitled to GST credits.2. Suppliers of input taxed goods and services do not have to charge GST on sales but they will not be entitled to claim GST credits from their purchases of inputs.
1. Suppliers of GST-free goods and services will not have to pay GST when they make a sale but they will be entitled to GST credits.
2. Suppliers of input taxed goods and services do not have to charge GST on sales but they will not be entitled to claim GST credits from their purchases of inputs.

NETWORKS - Sullivan Partnership - You can get there from here.
Greater Bristol Job Fair A Huge Success
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Just weeks after being let go from his job as a machinist by an area manufacturer, Jonathan Light attended Wednesday's Greater Bristol Job Fair not only to find new employment but to keep alive a special day in his life.
"I'm supposed to be getting married next July, and I'm hoping to be able to keep things rolling on that with her," said a smiling Light, referring to his fiancée, Danielle Estep. "But for that to happen, I really need to find work — and that's why I'm here. You have to stay positive, keep your head up and work hard to find something. And that's what I'm doing."
Light was among the hundreds — some seeking new jobs, others seeking better ones — who flocked to the five-hour fair at the Foundation Event Facility on State Street downtown.
By 9 a.m., an hour before it opened, a long line of attendees had curled around the room's entrance, waiting to hold interview and information sessions with scores of major area employers, including Bristol Tennessee Essential Services, Sprint, Eastman Chemical Co., Bell Helicopter, U.S. Solutions, Dr. Reddy's, the Robinette Co., Bristol Herald Courier and the Bristol Tennessee Police Department. Several schools, including King College, also were represented.
"It's been successful well above our expectations," Allen Hurley, Vision LLC president and owner of the facility, said of the turnout. "It's done exactly what we envisioned. It's about bringing people who want jobs together with employers who have them available."
Noting that the event drew some 250 people in the first hour, Hurley said he and other organizers, which included the city of Bristol, Tenn., and the economic development group NETWORKS Sullivan County, may hold the event semi-annually.
"When you have 100 people waiting in line before the job fair even begins, it's clear that there's a need and value to holding events like these," Hurley said.
Like Light, a resident of Kingsport, many of the jobseekers lost jobs within the last several months.
Albert Deems, of Greeneville, Tenn., said that earlier this year he worked for an oil company as its chief electrician on a drilling ship off the Gulf of Mexico, but he was abruptly let go in June because of downsizing.
"Definitely, it was a total surprise," Deems said of losing his job. "But you have to go on. I'm looking for any work that will allow me to use my skills and experience. And will allow me to keep moving forward."
Kristy Heath, a mother of two from Bristol, Va., floated from booth to booth, filing applications and exchanging information with company reps. Less than a week ago, Heath lost her job as a waitress with a restaurant that cut its work force, but she said the setback did not dent her confidence or optimism in seeking new work.
"I had a great record of being reliable and dependable, and my former boss has told me he'll give a glowing recommendation to anyone who asks," Heath said. "So I feel good that my skills and marketability will really help me find another job. I'm open for just about any job I can get."
Events like the job fair can be equally valuable to employers, said Al Gourley, an engineering and safety manager for Dr. Reddy's, a Bristol, Tenn., pharmaceutical company that opened in 2011 after taking over Glaxo Smith Kline's area operations.
"We're in a growth mode and we're definitely looking to add more workers," Gourley said. His company has nearly tripled its work force, to 125 employees, since last year.
"Taking part in job fairs like this one really allows us to get our name out there," Gourley said. "And it also gives us a great opportunity to meet some qualified and talented people who might be good fits for our company."
The event also featured presentations by Scott Tollett, a Texas-based author and career expert who urged jobseekers to pursue new work in a clear, organized and focused manner.
"You have to treat your job search like it's your day job," Tollett said. "Look at finding a new job as though it is a job."

The residency, administered by the RHA, is awarded on an annual basis to an artist who wishes to work primarily in the medium of paint. During his lifetime Tony O'Malley was the recipient of subsidised studios and accommodation in St. Ives, Cornwall. Administered by the Arts Council of Great Britain it offered the artist time to concentrate on creating work. Jane O'Malley has never forgotten the privilege of those decades for herself and Tony. A number of years ago she acquired Tony's family home in Callan Co. Kilkenny. Jane, working with her architect, set about renovating the building into a first class facility for an artist to live and work in and in association with the Royal Hibernian Academy Jane O'Malley now wishes to offer this home/studio to an artist on an annual basis.
The recipient of the RHA Tony O'Malley Studio Residency 2013 is Ramon Kassam. Ramon Kassam (b. 1981) is an artist from Limerick City. Painting forms the basis of his practice. Works are the result of an intuitive engagement with the rich tradition. Using painting, drawing and collage in his current practice, the emphasis has been on brutally reshuffling studio materials, narratives, art/personal histories and formal elements together in such a way that they have been chewed, swallowed and regurgitated to construct works. This is a scissors and paste approach to absorb and refract different things he may have seen, known or is trying to establish an understanding of: people, spaces, landscapes, objects, and other paintings. Ultimately however, the works become their own point of reference and aim to connect to painting's visual tradition and the physical and psychological landscape of his world.
Ramon received a first class honors degree in fine art-painting from Limerick School of Art and Design in 2007. He has exhibited widely since. Exhibitions include 'New Living Art' IMOCA, Dublin (2012) 'Bricks and Mortar', Boston, USA (2012), 'Transitive Relationships', Limerick City Galley of Art (2012), 'Constellations', Visual , Carlow(2011) & 'Paint-Things' a solo show at Occupy Space, Limerick (2010). Ramon will participate on an upcoming residency at The Irish Musuem of Modern Art and is also the recipient of The RHA Tony O' Malley Residency Award which he will begin in June 2013. In addition to his practice, Ramon founded and directed Wickham Street Studio Limerick from 2009-2011, an artist studio complex which has provided studio space for over 30 artists in the city to date. Also in 2009, he was the founding member of Occupy Space, an artist run gallery in the city, and co-directed the space throughout 2010.
The house and adjoining studio are situated in Callan town, Co Kilkenny. The converted shop and house is decorated to the highest standards and has a modern bright kitchen and separate living room with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A small inner courtyard links the front and back of the house and beyond the home's living area is the studio. The studio itself is 320 sq ft and has a double height ceiling with plenty of natural light. Double doors lead onto a large landscaped private garden area. The studio has a mezzanine level also which could be used as an office area if required. The house and studio are fully furnished to the highest standards and offer a superior living and work place for any artist.
For 2014 two studio slots are being offered June to August 2014 and September 2014 to May 2015 . The artists awarded the residencies will have the exclusive use of the house and studio at a nominal cost of €250 per month plus utilities. This full-time residencies are for artists who works primarily in the medium of paint. The studio is not suitable for sculptors.
To apply for the residency, artists are asked to submit the following:
- A current CV.
- A cover letter detailing the proposed usage of the studio and a work plan outlining ideas for the residency. We would ask also that artists state which time slot they are applying for.
- Up to 12 images of work, preferably presented in a printed format.
Applications should be sent to the Academy Co-ordinator by November 8th.
Short listed applicants will be called for interview in late November.
Requests for further information should be directed to the Academy Co-ordinator, Fernando Sanchez, email firstname.lastname@example.com phone 01 6612558

Millwall march into last four
Millwall captain Danny Shittu headed his side into an FA Cup semi-final against Wigan as they won 1-0 against Blackburn, whose season took another dismal turn at Ewood Park.
Shittu, whose only other goal this season came in the Lions' fourth-round triumph over Aston Villa, came close to scoring with a pair of spectacular long-range efforts when the first attempt to settle this all-Championship quarter-final finished goalless at the weekend.
A thumping header more akin to a robust centre-half was Shittu's chosen method on this occasion as he converted Chris Taylor's 43rd minute corner and settled the contest.

The shortstop position is much deeper than some may have anticipated, with the likes of J.J. Hardy, Khalil Greene, and Alex Gonzalez joining the traditional powers to form a large selection of options. Another emerging choice at the position is Cleveland Indians shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who is causing a stir in mixed leagues with an excellent past two weeks.
A monumental bust in 2006, Peralta hit .255 with just 13 homers in 569 at bats while knocking in 68 runs, disappointing even the most staunch cynic. Puzzling was the fact that he didn't even have an injury to hide behind – he was just that bad. This, after blitzing the major leagues with 24 bombs and 78 RBI with just 504 at bats in 2005.
Excuses ranged from pressing at the plate to poor defense having an adverse effect on his performance at the dish, but we might do just as well to call it a "sophomore slump." Either way, things are looking better for the third-year middle infielder as his power stroke and selectivity at the plate continue to develop.
Peralta seems rejuvenated over the past 14 days as his average has jumped 54 points and he has launched five of his seven longballs during that span. Even more encouraging is the fact that his K/BB ratio is down from 2.71 last year to 1.87 this season. If he can keep the strikeouts to a minimum, Peralta can become the player we thought he would be last year.
In addition, Peralta is currently slotted seventh in the lineup, and would move up with continued success – a development that would provide some nice protection for him and build confidence.
There are few reasons to believe Peralta can't continue to get it done, as he has shown us this potential before. Go ahead and pick him up and enjoy his current hot streak, which will seem intrepid now, but will look like a genius move in a month when he's still producing.
