Now that Chuck Prince is out at Citigroup, everyone can say what they really thought of him. Todd Thomson, the former head of Citi's wealth-management department, who was fired in January after a delicious spate of reports questioning his spending (his extravagant office was commonly referred to as the "Todd Mahal") and his relationship with CNBC's Money Honey Maria Bartiromo, jumps in first. Thomson told Reuters today that he suspected Prince himself orchestrated the "smear campaign" against him, because he was trying to divert attention from the issues at Citibank and also, perhaps, because he considered Thomson a rival. "There was a very significant rift between me and the now ex-CEO," he told Reuters (click the picture to watch the video). "I've never been accused of having anything other than an appropriate relationship with Maria Bartiromo. And I do have an appropriate relationship with Maria Bartiromo." Bartiromo concurs: "Something happened between Todd Thomson and Chuck Prince, and somehow I got wrapped up in it," she told the Times the other day. "Clearly, there was another agenda going on." An agenda! A rift! A triangle! It's all so Shakespearean! These people have been wronged! READ MORE »
No, literally — it's all about gold. Rupert Murdoch's new cable channel ran multiple segments on gold in its first week, which we thought was a little weird. But after we watched the hundredth paid advertisement for gold (damn watching TV in real time!), we thought, maybe it makes sense. If your sponsors are talking about it, why shouldn't you? Anyway, you may be wondering how on earth we happened to notice something like that. It's because we have been watching FBN every day, ALL WEEK. Yes! We love Alexis Glick, Neil Cavuto, and their motley crew of optimism pirates. They're irresistible (especially young NYSE floor reporter Nicole Petallides, who makes rival Maria Bartiromo look like the Jessica Tandy in Driving Miss Daisy) and their financial joy is maddeningly, confusingly infectious. After the jump, our other favorite FBN moments from a week of watching. READ MORE »

Students can also arrange an internship through their own network of family and friends or through the ICE-Net alumni network.
Many Tippie students choose to do an internship in the summer after their junior year of college. The best time to begin looking for summer internships is in the fall of your junior year. The Career Center's Fall Job and Internship Fair takes place in late September when about 130 employers from a broad range of industries come to campus. Many more company representatives visit campus to recruit interns and full-time candidates throughout the year.

The Class of 1990 lost a good friend when Keith Mumford, BA'90, died June 28, 2009, following a heart transplant. Mumford lived in Richmond, Va., and was an investment banker with BB&T Capital Markets. At Vanderbilt he was a varsity tennis player and majored in mathematics. He is survived by his wife, Emily Sackett Mumford, and four young children.
Last year the annual alumni tennis tournament at Vanderbilt was renamed the Keith Mumford Vanderbilt Alumni Tennis Memorial Tournament in honor of the former letter-winner.
Now, Keith's classmates, other members of the Vanderbilt community, and his friends in the Richmond area are taking part in a tribute to him by endowing two scholarships in his name:
The Keith Mumford Tennis Scholarship is to be awarded to an outstanding varsity tennis player, as Keith was himself. This scholarship will help recruit the best possible tennis student-athletes. It also will be important to sustaining Vanderbilt's tennis programs. A minimum of $300,000 in one-time gifts and five-year pledges creates this scholarship.
The Keith Mumford Undergraduate Scholarship is to be awarded to a student with tremendous promise for a bright future who also has financial need. This scholarship is being created at a time when Vanderbilt is making new endowed scholarships for undergraduate students a priority. It will be part of Opportunity Vanderbilt, a special fundraising campaign for this important purpose. A minimum of $100,000 in one-time gifts and five-year pledges creates this scholarship.
Support for these scholarships is encouraged, especially between now and Dec. 31, 2010. An anonymous donor has stepped forward with a significant commitment to this effort, and the hope is that the first scholarships can be awarded in Fall 2011.
To make a gift or pledge or to learn more, please contact Peggy Culp in Vanderbilt's Division of Development and Alumni Relations at (615) 343-2029 or email@example.com.

I think I'm just venting, so please bear with me. We are currently booked on a free dining bounce back from last August, for this year. 10 nights, from August 19th through the 29th. Well, we just learned last night that our school district has decided to start school a week earlier than usual this year, and start on the 26th. Yeah, right in the middle of our trip. This will be our daughters first year in middle school, so we really don't want her to miss the first week! Now to Disney. I phoned them this morning to see if we could bump the trip back a week to start on August 12th, rather than the 19th. I was informed that the bounce back offer we had could only be moved back one day, to the 18th. (for the free dining). I spoke to 3 different people, and was told this cannot be changed. Is it just me, or is that just ridiculous? They would rather lose a weeks worth of hotel nights and park tickets from a customer that has visited dozens of times, than allow an offer to go back 7 days from where it "officially" starts? Sorry, just frustrated about this. Anyone ever experience this, or no if writing to management or something might help? I'm seriously doubting it at this point, and am just a bit stressed right now. Thanks for listening....
In my experience, their black out and cut off dates are set in stone. Is it possible to do a separate package from the 15th to the 18th then your bounce back FD from 18th to 25th?
Yeah, they will let me do that, however, I'll lose out on the dining prior to the 18th, and, as far as I can tell, the tickets will cost more overall as it would be booked as a separate package. I guess it's just hard to comprehend that Disney, a company known for customer service, can't make such a simple change, or won't for that matter. Thinking at this point, we'll just shorten the trip. I think I'm more annoyed at the school district for dropping this change on us with less than a years notice. Not to mention the fact that I think going to back school before the summer is even over is ridiculous.
Those bounceback dates are always set in stone. You can move your trip around, but only during bounceback dates on the calendar. In past years, if you checked in on a bounceback date, then you could get the rate for the entire trip, but when we booked our bounceback for this year, that was no longer the case. We booked a week that we have gone in the past and always gotten a bounceback rate for the entire week. This year, the bounceback rate was only good for the first half of the week, and we were told we can only get it for the first half of the week even though we are checking in during the bounceback period. If we elect to go that week, we have to pay full price for the second half of the week, unless we are lucky enough to pick up a public discount or pin and rebook before then.
Thanks - this makes sense regarding previous booking possibilities. I know we had run into it before, and it was never an issue. Ack, really frustrating, LOL. Only hope at this point is the parents, and teachers, in our district appear to already be REALLY annoyed over this, and the less than one year out notice. I guess I can always hope they decide to move it back for a year. (I can dream right)?
No advice, but I can certainly commiserate with you. The Chicago Public Schools have decided to do the same thing -- we used to start the day after Labor Day and now we start 8/26 too. Our trip is already booked and paid for, so all 4 of my kids will miss 5 days at the beginning of the year. I have one that will be starting 1st, one starting 7th, one starting HS and one starting Senior Year. I feel a bit bad about it, but not bad enough to cancel our trip. It is going to be our last trip together before our oldest goes off to college and the schedule was changed long after our vacation plans were made and paid for.
That definitely stinks, but I don't necessarily disagree with Disney's policy. Black out dates have always been that way. If they change it for you, then they'd have to change it for someone else, then someone else, etc. Ya know? It's just easier to have a policy and stick to it. Hopefully you can find something that works for you, whether it is a split stay or shortening the trip, or missing a few days of school.
The Bb offer start dates was the 18th and that is the official start date.. Not the week before. I'm not sure why you would think disney can change that for you? . We are booked for 14 nights starting the 18th.
I think the school systems are grasping at straws and not only cutting into family time/vacations, but also summer jobs, volunteer positions, and other opportunities. Kids will learn much more with those things than more time in a classroom. I know they are trying to improve the system and the results, but I really don't think a few more days will fix it. My son is attending a pretty good high school, and the last week of the term included a lot of wasted time. Taking a few more days from their summer isn't going to make it any better. I feel bad for you, OP.
Do you know if there's a "new student" orientation day scheduled before school starts? Our school district groups K-4th; 5th-8th; and 9th-12th. The week before school officially begins, all 5th & 9th grade students and all new-to-the-district students go for a practice day. It's usually a half day or so but gives the new kids a chance to get a taste of their new routine. They catch the bus at their stop in the morning, report to their homeroom, get to practice opening their locker, rotate through a day's classes, and then head home. This past year, the first day of school was 8/27/12 with the 5th, 9th & new student orientation day falling on 8/22/12. You may want to check into that before you go through the trouble of moving your vacation only to find out that you have to move it AGAIN. We usually vacation towards the end of August too so I feel for you. Thank goodness they gave you notice now instead of in June, though.
I understand your frustration but 8 months notice that they're starting school a week earlier is ALOT of notice IMO. Most school boards (at least in NJ) just elected new board members and those decisions are just being made now. In fact, we won't even know when our school session ends as we're already a week past the original school closing date and if we have to take any snow days, we go even more into the summer.
According to the Ticket FAQ: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1452684 (at the end of the page) you can pick up your package tickets up to 3 days in advance to checking in. So, you can have your official check-in to be 8/18 and have your first day in the parks be 8/15. It's not perfect, but you're missing fewer days of vacation. Think of it as an opportunity to do a split stay somewhere you always wanted to stay! FTR, we picked up our tickets early once and it was completely painless. I don't know if the new RFID system and FP+ will change things.
Thanks all for the replies. Glad I'm at least not the only one facing the date changes with school, and the overall frustration with it. Wife and I will probably try to make a decision as to what we are going to do this weekend. It's just very frustrating when you are spending thousands every year, happily, and one week can make this much of a difference. Not really frustarted with Disney, as I do understand why they can't change things. Guess I was just hoping that as this was a bounce back, not an open public offer, that they could loosen up just a bit! I mean, from the customers perspective, they aren't losing anything. More frustrating is that you are treated as just another number. Not someone who has been going for over 20+ years regularly. But again, I understand that. Now, the school system? That's another story! Nothing we can do about it, but I'm almost leaning toward just having her miss the first week this year, thinking it will most likely be the last chance that we have for a 14+ day trip. Our son starts kindergarten next year, 2014, and it will even be tougher. Here's hoping bounce back dates, or other deals, expand a bit more in the coming years, or our Disney days are going to be numbered!
I wish we didn't start until the 26th! We start August 14th this next school year, and the 13th in 2014! That means the teachers go back REALLY early!
You can't change the dates on the bounceback offer, unfortunately. What you might be able to do is to is have two separate reservations. You'd have the bounceback from 8/18 through the time you need to go back to school, and then have another reservation for 8/12 through 8/17. There may be other discounts that you could apply for the first 5 days. You could see if Magical Vacations has an offer for those first dates. It might be worthwhile.
But you end sooner, right?? Our school year starts after Labor Day and was supposed to end June 19th. Now we're ending June 24th due to Sandy, subject to change if snow days get used.
Wow, that is early. Our teachers are going back the 19th this year, and MAN they are not happy about it. My wife volunteers at the school and the chatter today around the regular staff is bad. No one is happy about the change, and, just as it makes me feel better, it appears they are already not expecting all the students to make it there the first week this year. We have friends ourselves that have a European trip planned for late August that they setup over 2 years ago. No way they are changing it. Frustrating to say the least.
yup. we get out on May 23rd. We get to leave for our vacation before most schools are out! I still feel August 13th is waaay too early, but I do like getting out before Memorial Day!
Our district made the 2 days up from sandy by going to school over the 2 NJEA convention days since the convention was cancelled

There is no specific number. Chances are, if you're asking this question, you're relying too heavily on sources and should instead think more deeply on your own about your topic. Use your sources more selectively: choose key concepts, or quote phrases or sentences from the source in support of your claim when something is well said. You could also quote to represent the opposing view accurately. However, if the source is mostly useful not for its concise wording but for the information it provides, paraphrase the information in your own words, introducing the paraphrase by crediting the author, and ending with a footnote.
return to the top of the page
If you're looking to insert synonyms into an author's original sentence structure, you're still relying too heavily on the source. Copying the sentence structure and changing a few words may mean that you have not fully digested the content of what you're reading. Follow the guidelines for quoting and paraphrasing, paying special attention to the example of "maintaining your own voice."
Minor changes may be made to blend the quotation into the grammar of your sentence, help the reader understand pronoun references it contains, or focus the reader on certain important information. These changes must be clearly indicated, and the original meaning must be strictly preserved. Indicate additions by placing them in brackets [ ].1 If you leave words or phrases out, you must use ellipsis points correctly: use three ellipsis points, each one separated by a space, to show words left out within a sentence. When you leave out full sentences or begin with words in one sentence and finish with words from another, use four ellipsis points.
CORRECT: Machen reminds us that "Modern liberalism . . . is at any rate no longer merely an academic matter."1
1 J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism, new ed. (Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans, 2009), 15.
You may add italics to emphasize a point, but this must be noted in one of two ways: (1) immediately following the italicized word, insert "emphasis added" in brackets; or (2) in the footnote, following the page number and a semicolon, insert "emphasis added."
CORRECT: The church should fight to defend the truth of Scripture and to dedicate itself to "a more earnest search after truth and a more loyal devotion to it [emphasis added] when once it is found."1
CORRECT: The church should fight to defend the truth of Scripture and to dedicate itself to "a more earnest search after truth and a more loyal devotion to it when once it is found."1
1 J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism, new ed. (Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans, 2009), 15; emphasis added.
When using quotes of fewer than five lines, you may introduce them with the name of the author and a verb such as writes, claims, or argues.2
Correct: Concerning liberalism, Machen claims, "its attack upon the fundamentals of the Christian faith is being carried on vigorously by Sunday-School 'lesson-helps,' by the pulpit, and by the religious press."1
You may also integrate the quotation into your sentence, making sure the author's wording fits your sentence structure grammatically, that it does not interrupt the flow of your thought, and that pronouns have correct and clear antecedents.3
CORRECT: We must consider the fact that an "attack upon the fundamentals of the Christian faith is being carried on vigorously by Sunday-School 'lesson-helps,' by the pulpit, and by the religious press."1
If the quote is five lines or longer, you may use a block quotation. Single space and indent the lines you are quoting. You should not use quotation marks at the beginning or end of a block quote because the indentation and single spacing indicate that the words are quoted from another source. You should, however, insert a footnote at the end of the citation.4 The following excerpt from a student paper illustrates the use of a block quotation:
CORRECT: Many theologians have buckled under the pressure of liberal Christianity, but Machen was not among them. Note his treatment of the topic in the very first chapter of Christianity and Liberalism:
Modern liberalism in the Church, whatever judgment may be passed upon it, is at any rate no longer merely an academic matter. . . . On the contrary its attack upon the fundamentals of the Christian faith is being carried on vigorously by Sunday-School "lesson-helps," by the pulpit, and by the religious press.1
If you are paraphrasing information from a source—for example, a commentary—that cites other sources for support, you only have to cite the source you are consulting. If it is necessary to mention "Author B," with whom "Author A" is interacting, in order to make sure the reader accurately understands the context for your quotation of "Author A," you may mention "Author B" when you introduce the quote:
If you want to use a quotation that is reprinted in a source, look the quote up in the original, so that you can understand and fairly represent the meaning of the quotation in its original context. If the original source is inaccessible, you may use the form for citing "One Source Quoted in Another."5
Common knowledge is defined as information that is well-known and generally assumed to be true by those who read and write on the topic.6 You would not be expected to cite a specific work when you draw on this common knowledge, but if you take specific ideas from a source, cite that source.
If you cannot remember where you heard an idea or read a quotation, don't panic. If you have learned about the idea or quote from an everyday conversation or in Email with a friend, pastor, or professor, you may cite that person in a footnote, but it is not necessary to include an entry for it in the bibliography. If you remember a quotation, try to look up the quotation, and omit it if it cannot be verified. If the idea could be considered common knowledge, see our FAQ on citing common knowledge.

Citation Styles
It is the ethical responsibility of all writers to acknowledge the original ideas they borrow from other authors. A writer is plagiarizing if he or she does not place quotation marks around passages taken from other sources and provide sufficient information for the reader to identify and locate the original source. Several documentation styles provide standardized rules to format both those that occur within the text of the paper and those that occur at the end of the paper. These styles frequently provide additional information on structuring and formatting research papers. Most disciplines favor a particular documentation style:
