Shuba Srinivasan Among 17 Faculty Awarded Full Professorships at BU
Faculty promoted this year are from College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Engineering, and the School of Management
Excerpts from BU Today:
From mapping marketing strategies to mapping the brain, the 17 BU faculty members who have just been promoted to full professor cover a wide and compelling range of research interests.
Shuba Srinivasan, a newly minted SMG professor of marketing, views her promotion as an acknowledgment of years of hard work.
"This promotion represents a major milestone recognizing years of sustained effort on several fronts," says Srinivasan. In addition to designing effective courses in her area of expertise—marketing analytics—Srinivasan has bridged the gap between marketing theory and practice in her research. "This promotion affirms all of this," she says.
Faculty are selected for promotion based on the quality of the research and scholarship conducted in their classrooms and laboratories.
"Outstanding faculty are at the heart of what defines a successful research institution," says Jean Morrison, University provost and chief academic officer. "The 17 exceptional scholars we recognize are as talented as they are diverse, each demonstrating the passion for teaching and willingness to reach across disciplines that enable Boston University each day to create new knowledge, generate new ideas, and make important new practical discoveries. From the humanities and sciences to engineering and business, all have emerged as leaders committed to excellence in their individual fields. We are excited to announce their promotion to full professor and for the great work each has in store."

Beautiful displays will help you sell the jewelry you make. While you source your jewelry materials, keep an eye out for display ideas. Nearly any type of display, box or case may make a good jewelry stand, if you put in a bit of work. After reading this article, you should have acquired some new advice to utilize when you are next in the market for rings, necklaces, bracelets, cuff links, watches or any other piece of jewelry. Keep this information in mind as you begin to invest your time and money throughout the buying process.
Do not purchase any jewelry from retailers in China. This country is notorious for selling fake gemstone and metal jewelry. Oftentimes, the jewelry advertised as sterling silver with real turquoise is just a piece of metal sprayed in silver and the turquoise is a fake piece of plastic. Such vendors may accept returns, but the hassle of shipping it back at your own cost, is usually not worth it. Be aware of scams like this.
When you are trying to buy jewelry for your girlfriend, get her best friend's opinion first. It is pretty likely that your girlfriend and her best friend share fashion tips and go shopping together. Her best friend will probably know what styles of jewelry will appeal to your girlfriend, so run your selection past her first. But, make sure if you're trying to make your gift a surprise, that you swear the girlfriend to secrecy!
Buying jewelry, or selling it, is a whole process. You will have to do some research and put some thought into it, if it is a gift you are looking for. With these tips in place, you can start experiencing success. Do you ever feel like your outfit just isn't complete? You wear matching socks, a snazzy outfit, and you tied your shoes, yet there is a hole in your ambiance. Normally, you need to accessorize with jewelry. Jewelry completes any outfit, taking it from blah to fabulous. Old jewelry can feel outdated, tarnished, and well, just plain old. It doesn't have to be that way, though. Vintage is very "in" these days and many old pieces can be turned into something new with just a small amount of work. In this article, we will discuss some of the best tips for re-purposing your old pieces.
Save some of your most fragile jewelry for special occasions only. Some fragile stones like opal and peridot should only be worn for special events and then carefully stored until the next occasion. This may seem irritating since you want to be able to wear your best pieces, but it can prolong their life if you avoid exposing them to harm too often. To add the perfect amount of flair to any outfit simply add one statement piece of jewelry. Whether it be a big ring, some bold earrings, a thick bracelet, or a chunky necklace, adding a statement piece to any outfit will not only bring it out of the ordinary but will also make it more 'you'. Furthermore, a statement piece is sure to make a great conversation starter in any occasion. When you are putting your jewelry away, take care on how it is stored. It is best to use holders, compartments, boxes, and hooks so that everything is kept separate. Don't just put them in one huge, unorganized pile. Not only will your necklaces become hopelessly tangled, you risk harming any fragile pieces as they bump and scrape against each other as you search the box. When wearing jewelry, less is more. You don't need to wear a necklace, earrings, bracelets, a watch, and rings to make your outfit look complete. Choose pieces that work well with your outfit and what you're wearing. One well chosen bracelet or necklace will draw more compliments than multiple striking items.
Don't wash your hands while wearing inexpensive or costume jewelry, this can damage the finish. Even though these pieces may not have much monetary value, they can be highly sentimental and should be cared for with the same respect as precious jewelry. Place it in a pocket or in your purse before you wash your hands, so that you don't leave them behind.
Essential to anyone buying jewelry for reclamation purposes is a pocket-sized gram and carat scale. While a scale can't determine the purity of the gold and silver you encounter in your jewelry hunting, a pocket scale can at least give you a basic starting point to determine fair pricing and valuing of your jewelry finds. Old jewelry can feel outdated, tarnished, and well, just plain old. It doesn't have to be that way, though. Vintage is very "in" these days and many old pieces can be turned into something new with just a small amount of work. In this article, we will discuss some of the best tips for re-purposing your old pieces.

All true. except one small detail. The men who died in Iraq didn't just do it for their country. Granted that was part of it, but they also did it for the freedom of the Iraqi citizens as well as those they loved back home. Ask yourself one question. what is worth dying for? If your answer is only for yourself then you agree with our soldiers. You are why they are there, for YOU!Originally Posted by Agent Orange 216
And as a soldier that has been to the middle east I just want to say thanks to those who agree or just understand why we do what we do.
On a side note. I recently saw The President speak here in Idaho. While standing in line I saw something that made time stand still for a moment. While waiting in this horribly long line we made our way past dozens of protesters. One in particular had a sign that had a piture of a young man in uniform on it. With the picture were the words "Bring my son home". A friend of mine also in the service approached this woman and asked her one simple question. What would your son say if he knew you were here protesting the very thing he is laying his life down for? Her answer was silence, she was speachless. He went on to answer his own question. Your son would be happy to know you are using the rights that he is fighting to obtain for the people of Iraq. A few short moments later she embraced my friend and fell into tears. She then threw her sign away and went home with only two words to give to my friend. "Thank you"

The lighter end of the pencil required more pressure to apply. This pencil doesn't sharpen easily, the point getting chewed up rather than becoming smooth and sharp.
I've used this product for the past 2 years and am very satisfied with the results. I can't always find the color...brownish-black... in the stores I frequent so when I do, I buy 2-3 pencils. I guess this means others find this color very pleasing also.

Mancini targets crucial derby win
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes a win over Manchester United in Saturday's derby will give his side vital impetus in the title race.City trail leaders United by five points and have played a game more. But victory for City at Old Trafford would cut the gap to three points with United facing the tougher run-in. "I like to play this game.

Bialkowski stays a Saint
07 Nov 2006 - 12:44:18
Southampton goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski has penned a new four-year deal with the Saints and says that he is determined to win his first-team place back.
The Polish teenager sustained a cruciate ligament injury in February, but has battled back to full fitness and is scheduled to play for the reserves against West Ham United's second string on Tuesday.
"I know Kelvin Davis is the number one and he's a very good and experienced keeper, but I will work hard in every training session and hope the gaffer notices me," the 19-year-old told the Saints' official website.
"I'm young and have time. I've signed a four-year deal which I was very happy about.
"It was an easy decision because I'm very happy here. I love the club and the city and have many friends, Polish and English.
"It's a fantastic club and I really think we can get back up to the Premier League - and I hope I can help."

packages is less sensitive to changes in price for these two food components. The greater diversity of food items included in the revised food packages will tend to reduce the sensitivity of the food package cost to a change in the price of any single food item.
The revised food packages are cost-neutral. Using identical methods to estimate the average cost per participant of the current and revised WIC food packages, the committee found essentially no change. In particular, the estimated average 2002 cost per participant for the current set of food packages was $34.76 per month, and for the set of revised food packages was $34.57 per month (and in the range of $34.03–$34.95), approximately equal to the estimated cost of the current package. Thus, given the same methods and prices for comparison, and assuming no shifts in participation by program categories, the changes proposed are likely to have little effect on program food costs. Furthermore, compared to the cost of the current food packages, the cost of the revised food packages would change less in response to changes in the costs of dairy products and infant formula.
The changes in the food packages greatly increase the relative market value (i.e., pre-rebate price) of the combined packages for the fully breastfeeding mother/infant pair; this change in the set of revised food packages could serve as an increased incentive for breastfeeding.
The costing method used includes a cash-value voucher that can be used to obtain a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables of the participants' choosing; the addition of the cash-value voucher could increase the cultural acceptability of the WIC food packages. Because an increase in the cost of fresh produce would lead to a reduced amount of fruits and vegetables that could be obtained with the cash-value voucher and this, in turn, would reduce the nutrient content of the packages, the committee recommends review and revision of the total value of the cash-value vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables every 1 to 3 years.
The cost evaluation of the revised food packages encompassed major changes directed toward allowing healthier choices (e.g., the addition of fruits and vegetables, reduced-fat rather than whole milk for participants 2 years of age and older; allowed breakfast cereals are whole grain). These changes could serve to improve the diets of WIC participants. The cost evaluation also included specific amounts of substitutions that were requested by participants (e.g., allowing yogurt, tofu, and soy beverage ["soy milk"] as a substitute for milk); these substitutions could increase the incentive value of the food packages for families to participate in the WIC program.

Not just BCSSubmitted by Tammy (not verified) on Sun, 01/20/2013 - 11:37am.
I am sorry about this whole accident,but talking about the speeding it is not just BCS it is more of the State Troopers,they all act like they are on a speedway running laps never with lights or nothing.when they coming flying from nowhere riding your butt and you can't move over for traffic when you finally get over he fly's by gos up a little turns around and back the other way.The state troopers have flew by me on my way to walmart when I get up turn into walmart there they are 2 or 3 of them sitting there talking lights off cars running,just yesterday was at work on hwy 17 and 2 different ST flew by at different times later on one even flew by a BCS like he was sitting still and was out of sight in no time no lights,nothing. The State Troopers are the more aggressive over bearing drivers,don't get me wrong I have the most respect for any law enforcement for their job and I appreciate them for that job,but they need to respect there citizens on the streets and highways as well,and extra bonus think of all the gas that could or would be saved. »

Having a majestic old oak in your garden can add beauty and interest to your home. So keeping it healthy and happy is important. Watering under the drip line (area of ground covered by the canopy of branches) can cause stress and increase the oak's susceptibility to diseases, especially if this watering occurs in the summer when the oak is accustomed to a dry period. Removing the leaf litter can lead to soil compaction, reduced moisture levels and increased abundance of antagonistic microorganisms. Tilling or changing the natural grade of the landscape can damage shallow roots as well as symbiotic microorganisms and encourage diseases. So keeping all these things in mind, planting a traditional landscape is nearly impossible. However, this doesn't mean that having an oak tree means having no landscape. In fact, there are hundreds of plants that will grow and thrive under oaks and they generally require very little care or irrigation. These are California native plants that grow under oaks in the wild. Here are just a few ideas.
Fuchsia-flowered gooseberry (Ribes speciosum) is a deciduous shrub that has deep-red fuchsia flowers that are hummingbird favorites. The glossy green foliage turns red in late summer prior to the plant going dormant for a small stretch before the rains return it to its former glory. This dormancy period has helped this plant survive thousands of hot dry summers in California with no rain. Thorns help protect the plant from being eaten by deer and rabbits. They also provide an excellent place for birds to take cover from predators. Fuchsia-flowered gooseberry is great for a shady bird garden.
Hummingbird sage (Salvia spathacea) is unique among California native sages, because of its preferred growing environment. Most California sages need full sun. However hummingbird sage is quite happy under oaks especially in the drier interior climates of California. It can be found thriving under ancient oaks in the wild with more than a foot of leaf litter. And second for its deep red color which is quite different from the blues, whites and purples of most other California sages. It spreads to make a nice ground cover. Hummingbird sage has large, fragrant mint-green leaves, and in spring, a multitude of giant burgundy flower stalks that attract hummingbirds. Along with its many other endearing characteristics, it is also deer-resistant.
See our article on deer-resistant landscaping
Snowberry (Symphorocarpus albus laevigatus) is a tough ground cover with a lacy habit and soft green foliage. It produces snow white berries in the fall that are left dangling on bare branches in the winter. Snowberry is deer resistant and, in most areas of California, needs no irrigation after it is established. Plant as a very low maintenance large scale goundcover. Because of its spreading nature, Snowberry is also great for slope stabilization.
These California native plants can be planted in winter to minimize irrigation under the oak and make use of rainfall. If the oak is still fairly healthy, the plants should establish within the first winter and be able to survive with little or no water the first summer. However, if the oak is unhealthy and starting to die, the plants may be harder to get established. An application of at least 4-6 inches of mulch, such as Scotts� Nature Scapes� can help immensely in this transition and will usually push things in the right direction. Never use plastic or newspaper as a weed barrier under oaks as this can cause anaerobic conditions in the soil, decreased absorption of water into the soil, and interfere with the decomposition of the mulch layer. Mulch should be placed on the soil surface and not incorporated into the soil. With a few native plants and some mulch you should be on your way to a stunning oak woodland garden.

In accordance with the May 3, 2012 passage of H. 440, the office of the Commissioner of Education was be replaced by the newly created cabinet level position of Secretary of Education. Effective January 1, 2013, the authority to select Vermont's chief education official was transferred from the State Board of Education into the hands of the governor. Thereafter, whomever the governor appoints to serve at his/her pleasure as secretary assumes responsibility of the duties previously attributed to the commissioner, as well as any new duties conferred by the law.[1]
Current officeholder
The current officeholder is Rebecca Holcombe. She assumed the office in January 2014.
The office of secretary is established in Title 3, Chapter 49, Section 2701 of the Vermont State Code.[2]
There is created an agency of education that shall be under the direction and supervision of a secretary of education. |
Title 3, Chapter 49, Section 2702 of the Vermont State Code establishes the qualifications of the office:
(c) At the time of appointment, the secretary shall have expertise in education management and policy and demonstrated leadership and management abilities... |
The governor selects the education secretary from a list of no fewer than three candidates submitted by the State Board of Education. The secretary's appointment is subject to final confirmation by the Senate.[3]
Prior to the appointment of Vermont's first secretary of education, the state's chief education official had the title commissioner of education. The commissioner was hired by the state board of education, with approval of the governor, and served at the pleasure of the board.[4] This system remained in effect until January 1, 2013, at which time the position of commissioner was dissolved per H. 440 and superseded by the cabinet level position of Secretary of Education.
Note: Ballotpedia's state executive officials project researches the constitutional or statutory text that details the process of filling vacancies for a state executive office.

BERLIN -- Sen. Barack Obama hasn't just clinched the Democratic presidential nomination -- he's also become a collector's doll. German doll-maker Marcel Offermann is offering a 14-inch tall Obama doll, complete with black suit, a sky-blue tie and Stars & Stripes lapel pin. Offerman said that he has produced a limited run of 999 Obama dolls and first 45 were sold in a matter of hours on Monday. The Obama doll joins the doll makers roster of mini-celebrities that include Princess Diana and Pope Benedict The dolls have a price tag of about $220 each http://www.local6.com/entertainment/16558709/detail.html?rss=orlpn&psp=entertainment# America Hating Pastor and Wife are sold separately.
The Germans really don't know Obama.... The doll looks more like Gary Coleman than Obama. Why would they put a Stars & Stripes lapel pin on a Obama doll? I smell a lawsuit.

There are some basic easy-to-understand criteria that should be followed in order to select a green coffee bean extract product that will give you the best chance to achieve the benefits you are looking for. The criteria listed below will enable you to select a product that conforms to the criteria suggested by Dr. Oz when he recommended green coffee supplements in 2012.
The best green coffee supplements should be:
1) 100% Pure – Read the labels carefully. Pure means no additional ingredients whatsoever and no fillers, no binders, and no added ingredients. There should only be one ingredient listed which should be green coffee bean extract. Even if the label says "pure" be sure to read the ingredients label to verify the product is, in fact, pure. If a website does not include the product ingredients label, that website and product should be avoided. Click here to see the ingredients label for our #1 recommended product Perfect Green Coffee.
2) Chlorogenic Acid Level 40% to 50% – Chlorogenic acid is an antioxidant present in green coffee beans that some observers believe is the component in raw unroasted green coffee beans that provide a number of potential healthy benefits . Green coffee beans are the most potent plant source of chlorogenic acid. Many nutrtional supplement companies and other observers state that a chlorogenic acid level of 40% to 50% is best. Our favorite product Perfect Green Coffee has a chlorogenic acid level of 50% making it among the most potent green coffee products available.
3) Lab Verified – The purity and chlorogenic acid level should be lab-verified by a certified testing lab. The brand Perfect Green Coffee fits this criteria and the relevant portion of the Certificate of Analysis is posted here on HealthFoodPost.com. Click here to see.
4) Made In The USA – The product should be manufactured in the USA or another trusted location with top-notch quality controls. Beware of products that do not disclose where they are made. Note: Some popular products indicate Made in PRC. For those who are not aware, PRC is the Peoples Republic of China. Our #1 green coffee pick Perfect Green Coffee is made in the USA.
5) Manufactured under FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) – Look for this on websites to verify that (like Perfect Green Coffee) the product you are considering is manufactured in a facility that conforms to these standards.
Our #1 Pick For Best Quality/Best Value is…
'Perfect Green Coffee'
This product meets all the criteria above and much more including price value. Perfect Green Coffee is typically approximately 50% cheaper than competitors when buying at least 3 bottles of more, and it's quality and potency is as good as it gets. Click here for more details.
Green Coffee Review – Which Is Best?
Green Coffee Bean Extract & Chlorogenic Acid
Some research has demonstrated that raw unroasted green coffee beans, or "green coffee bean extract" may offer a number of potential healthy benefits.
Green coffee beans are coffee beans, which have not been roasted. And green coffee bean extract is an extract from the unroasted green coffee bean.
If green coffee is ground and roasted like regular coffee, it has very little taste. In fact, coffee brewed with green coffee beans would be extremely bitter. So, folks who wish to supplement with a chlorogenic acid product would probably prefer taking a green coffee bean extract supplement rather than drinking something with no taste or a bitter unpleasant taste.
The coffee that most of us love to drink, by the way, derives its' flavor from the roasting process.

Answers to Some Commonly Asked Questions
What is chlorogenic acid?
Chlorogenic acid is a substance present in green coffee bean extract that has been studied and researched over the years.
What is meant by "pure" green coffee bean extract?
Pure means no additives whatsoever. None! In other words the product should have no fillers and nothing at all added. But consumers need to read labels to verify that the product contains no fillers or other unnecessary ingredients or preservatives. Many products labeled pure are not really pure. So, be sure and read the labels and if there is something on the label you do not understand, call or email the company. And if there is no products ingredients label on the company website, avoid the product.
What Is GCA and GCA®?
This is an abbreviation for green coffee antioxidant. It's also a brand of green coffee extract containing 42% chlorogenic acid.
What is Svetol®?
This is a brand of green coffee bean extract containing 45% chlorogenic acid.
Is it important that green coffee supplements contain GCA or Svetol?
No. GCA and Svetol are brand names. They are promoted as good brand names but brand names are not important. Claims that green coffee bean extract supplements must contain the brand names GCA or Svetol in order to be considered authentic are not correct. The chlorogenic acid level and the purity of the product are important, not the brand names. By steering clear of the hype surrounding brand names, consumers can save money with a quality product such as Perfect Green Coffee.
What Is GCBA?
This is an abbreviation for green coffee bean antioxidant.
What is GCBE?
This is an abbreviation for green coffee bean extract.
What to look for on a product ingredients label?
The product label should state the chlorogenic acid level (see above) since chlorogenic acid is the antioxidant present in raw coffee beans that consumers shopping for green coffee supplements are looking for. As mentioned previously, there should be (1) no fillers, (2) no binders, and (3) no artificial ingredients. So, read the ingredients labels carefully. Ingredients labels should be displayed on all websites offering nutritional supplements.
What else to look for when evaluating a product?
Make sure you know that the product was manufactured in a country with proper quality controls.
Does it matter if the product is made from Arabica or Robusta coffee beans?
No, absolutely not. There is much more information about this subject elsewhere on this website.

Say hello to the woman who said "I do" to Jack Osbourne.
The youngest Osbourne wed Lisa Stelly in Hawaii Oct. 6 with an intimate ceremony in front of 48 guests including their five-month-old daughter,Pearl Clemtine, and his family: father Ozzy, mother Sharon and sister Kelly, who was a bridesmaid. Official photos of the ceremony appear in this week's Hello! magazine.
That celebration aside, it's been a tough year for the Osbourne clan. Just two weeks after Pearl was born April 24, Osbourne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the age of 26.
"We've dealt with a lifetime's worth of problems in one year," Stelly told Hello! "We've got through it all and I just know we'll be together forever."
"I feel like marriage will make our bond even stronger," Osbourne said. "Having Pearl and now marrying Lisa are just the best things ever. They have changed my life."

It's doubtful anyone needs to be told that launching a new theatre company – particularly in an area already rife with theatre companies – can be a risky venture, which is likely why Quad Cities-based organizations have tended to debut with relatively low-risk offerings. In 2008, the Harrison Hilltop Theatre chose to stage, as its first production, David Auburn's intimate, four-character drama Proof; a week later, the Curtainbox Theatre Company arrived on the scene with Three Viewings, a trio of Jeffrey Hatcher monologues.
And what is Davenport native Nathan Porteshawver, the founder of the Internet Players, presenting for his new theatre company's debut offering? An original drama that Porteshawver himself wrote.
In verse.
With a cast of 17 actors.
And nine musicians.
