July 10, 2013
I was raised in a neighborhood with a top-notch school system filled with inspiring and caring teachers. I loved hearing their stories about working in inner-city schools and how drastically different their teaching experiences were there compared to teaching in a predominately upper-class suburb. My naïve mind thought that my teachers chose to work in the inner-city schools but that was far from the truth.
At the beginning of their careers, many of my teachers could only find jobs in neighborhoods with poor school systems. They described the struggles of teaching in such areas but believed it made their character stronger because they were able to help students who needed it most. Fast forward to the present, where some of my friends are pursuing careers in education: Many of them are complaining that they can't find teaching jobs in "safe" middle- or upper-class areas, echoing the same struggles many of my high school teachers encountered.
Does this say anything about my generation? According to a recent Time article entitled "Millennials: The Me Me Me Generation," individuals in my generation is known to be narcissistic and refuse to take crap from the older generation. Since we're known to take jobs that "feel right," we disregard opportunities that don't measure up to our standards; as a result, we suggest to others that employment rates are low because we can't get jobs that people who worked in the field for 10 years have acquired.
Though the Me Generation isn't all bad (I highly suggest reading the article to find out our positive characteristics), I think it's time my generation had a reality check. My peers need to understand that we won't get our ideal jobs when starting out but if we put in the proper time and effort, we will climb the ladder of success just as every generation before us had done. What do you think?

When I started college, I was intimidated by my peers that knew exactly what they wanted to do. I knew what I liked to do but not what I might want to do after college, realistically. So, I entered my freshman year with an undecided major...and an immeasurable pressure to figure out who I was going to be.
I rushed to declare my major as English/creative writing because I love to write. But then I decided I love kids and I'd rather be a teacher so I changed it to education/literature. But then I realized that I hate literature classes, so I went back to English/writing. And then I decided I love philosophy, so I added a philosophy minor. This past semester, I realized I love psychology classes, too, so I'm even thinking of adding a psychology minor now. What I learned along the way was 1. Find what you love, 2. Don't be afraid when that changes, and 3. Connect with your academic advisor.
An academic advisor – the person who helps you choose your classes and makes sure you're doing everything you need to graduate – is the most valuable asset you have on campus, as they are available to you for unbiased advice and guidance every step of the way. For me, this person was Mr. Elder. We met during orientation; he was this ancient old man that only spoke when the moment called for his wise input, which was usually dispensed in the form of a long-winded story with a moral ending. He has been my advisor since day one and I can honestly say I would be utterly lost without him.
But just because you're assigned to one advisor doesn't mean you can't seek out another who better suits your needs. Find the best academic advisor you can so they can layout the opportunities available to you. A good academic advisor will lead you to where you want to go but allow you choose the direction in which to travel. They are your connection to the dreams you want to achieve beyond college, even when your dreams change as frequently as mine do.

I took AP Statistics in high school and I attend Wofford College full-time during the traditional school year. This summer, however, I've been taking statistics at UNCG...so what gives? Well, Wofford would only accept AP scores of 4 or higher and I received a 3 and after my late declaration of comp-sci as a major, I figured out that I actually need it. So off to summer school I went – at a university I wasn't familiar with and with professors I didn't know and students who were strangers, no less – but I'm actually thrilled that I had the opportunity to study at another institution, albeit only for a summer course.
UNCG was beautiful and way different than Wofford. And the class was organized, taught and tested on completely differently. The textbook was all online – something I'd never experienced at my main college – but I loved it: All of the resources, tables and info were in one place and there was great statistical software built right in! But having it all online meant that the class was entirely learn-for-yourself, at your own pace, in your own time (which I had NONE of). It was different but I appreciated the class and continuing my coursework over the summer actually kept me grounded and on top of things I was involved with. Even a) planning a two-day music festival with friends b) working a full-time management position at my pool and c) applying for another internship (stay tuned for another post) didn't keep me from passing!
It was rough with the mix of everything else I was involved with but my experience in the class itself was pretty positive. So if you're considering taking classes at another institution during the summer or over break, remember that it won't be bad...it will just be different. It will cause you to form better and varying study habits that will most likely help you in the future and having that structured schedule in the summer will actually help in everything else you're involved with as well. Embrace the opportunity!

Mary Steffenhagen
Hey there, Scholarships.com readers! I'm Mary, a junior English major/business minor student at Concordia University of Wisconsin.
I'll admit, I didn't give my college search as much time or thought as I should have. I chose to attend Concordia for two main reasons: I was offered a substantial academic scholarship (and rather a lot of financial aid) and was able to take a free trip to London, Normandy and Paris through the honors program during my freshman year. However, my time at Concordia has been well spent as I have been able to take a number of fascinating classes with some exceptional professors, make a few lifelong friends, travel and even get some decent sleep.
I love having a busy schedule so this year I plan to intern in Milwaukee and hopefully (fingers crossed!) head to New York City in the winter. I've indulged myself a little with my English major – reading and being impacted by what I read has always been one of the best parts of my life – and I am looking forward to a career that not only allows but requires me to do just that.
The opportunity to be a virtual intern with Scholarships.com is one I couldn't pass up: Not only is this the sort of writing experience necessary for my resume, but it's a bit out of my comfort zone. I hope to challenge myself to be a resource to you readers and help bring some insight into the ordeals of life as a college student.
I'll sign off with the most important thing college has helped me realize (so far): Challenge yourself and you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you can accomplish. Thanks for reading!

Most can agree that high school was not too challenging. I know this because the standard procedure for me was to complete busy work, memorize stuff and regurgitate that information on test day, forgetting the material almost instantaneously. When I got to college, however, I abandoned that method...fast.
As you move through college, the memorization method fades away into REAL learning because college courses introduce you to the material and demand that you get familiar with the information through study and homework. You are then encouraged to make sense the material your own through personalized notes, diagrams, dialogues, etc. Higher-level courses will require application and synthesis, using what you know and applying it to a new situation or idea.
You will always get a million voices of advice but there isn't always a set answer for it all. My response to your concerns about the academic part of college is simple: It all depends. There are plenty of factors that play into the difficulty of a college class including where you attend school, what your major is, who the professor is, what the grading is like and what the pre-requisites are. Here are my personal tips for a success in the classroom:
Before College
When You Get There
College is not just for smart people: It's for people that want and try to learn. I've seen high school valedictorians fall and barely-admitted students rise, the latter of which proves that if you can get admitted, you have what it takes to undergo the academic rigor. Don't let the saying "College is hard, impossible or not for you" prevent you from giving higher education the old college try!
Anthony Guzmán is currently a rising sophomore at Texas A&M University where he studies business management and Spanish. He hopes to use business to create positive change through non-profit organization. He devotes the majority of his time to Catholic ministry and he also enjoys dancing, being with friends and family, and traveling.
Veronica Gonzalez
In college, you will never be a stranger to professors. In fact, professors can be your greatest allies if you get to know them academically, professionally and socially. All professors are different so it's best to get to know them as individuals and as educators.
The first step? Introduce yourself on the first day of class. Acknowledge them fully so that they'll know that you're willing to learn what they have to offer and always be courteous towards your teachers; if you respect them, they'll give you respect in return – it's a win-win.
All professors differ when it comes to academics because they have different grading techniques. Pay close attention to how your professor(s) grade assignments and exams; it's very likely that they'll explain their grading process to you early on in the semester so be sure to grab a pen and paper and take notes!
In a professional aspect, your professors will always provide the class with a syllabus. Reading and studying a syllabus will help you familiarize yourself with the rules and expectations for the class. If you forget a rule or expectation, then feel free to look back on the syllabus at any time.
Socially, professors will definitely expect communication and feedback from their students so don't be afraid to talk to them, ask them questions if you're struggling to understand something, attend office hours and keep in touch with them via email/phone in case of emergencies. And if you see them outside of class, be sure to say hello!
Veronica Gonzalez is a rising junior at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. Her current major is English and she plans to pursue a bachelor's degree in this field. She served as the vice president of the UIW chapter of Alpha Lambda Delta from 2012 to 2013 and she returns as a junior delegate in the fall of 2013. Her dreams are to publish novels and possibly go into teaching in the field of English.
August 12, 2013
In today's age, professors and students are communicating with each other more than ever thanks to student email. Now, you may think that it's pointless to have a school email if you already have a personal email; however, there will be some points that you must use this account, no matter how boring or extra it may seem.
As a college student, some of your priorities are to have a student email and to be up-to-date with that account. Teachers will expect you to communicate with them via student email throughout your time in college. (For example, a teacher will most likely have you email the homework to them via school email.)
Furthermore, remember the phrase "Don't be a square"? The same rules apply to your student email because it keeps you in the loop of what's going on at your school. It's highly likely that student mentors and/or faculty members may contact you about certain events that are happening so if there's a social, a spectacular celebration or pep rally for homecoming coming up, you'll know about it via email. Plus, students/teachers may also contact you about stuff that needs public attention (ex. emergencies, deadlines, etc.). In a sense, knowing about important alerts can help you stay safe physically and academically.
So if your professor or school adviser introduces you to your student email, don't be afraid to embrace it. Your email from school can help you in many ways, as it could be your greatest asset when it comes to communication and schoolwork in the ever-evolving world of college.

No matter who you were or what you were known for in high school, college is a fresh start for all students. With a new academic year upon us (already?!), here are some tips for incoming freshmen on how to make their first year a great one:
Do you have any advice for incoming college freshmen?
August 30, 2013
It's the first day of school. Your instructor walks in and he or she hands out or displays a syllabus on the board. Syllabi will be your best academic friends in college: They will be dispensed to students in each class and will serve as roadmaps for the duration of the semester. If you're wondering what they're all about, here's a crash course:
Syllabi often start out with introductions, followed by explanations and outlines, and end with ground rules. The introduction part of the syllabus is basically the instructor introducing themselves to the class and explaining what the course is about. They then acknowledge the disability and academic integrity statements of the syllabus to ensure that there's equality in the class environment.
Next comes the explanation. This is where you'll to get to know what books and materials you will need (if you don't have them yet) or clarify what you won't need. Also, every instructor grades differently so your professor will give you a heads up on what to expect from them when they evaluate your papers, quizzes, tests and even class participation. Afterward is the course outline, which lists the activities that will occur in and out of class throughout the semester (homework, assigned readings, group projects, etc.).
After the explanation, the professor will set ground rules. It's best that you be aware of the policy statements listed on the syllabus such as the statement on plagiarism, the rule on cell phones, the nature of deadlines, etc. Finally, the syllabus will provide the office hours and contact information of the instructor and teaching assistants in case you have any questions or concerns.
Syllabi may change at any given time over the course of the semester; this really depends on the instructor so be sure yours remains up to date by attending lectures, discussions and office hours. Do you have any tips on understanding college syllabi?

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
How To Measure for Alpinestars Gloves
Today we're going to look at a pair of gloves for every riding condition,
from a variety of different pricepoints, from a variety of manufacturers.
The first pair is from an apparel company called River Road. River Road
specializes in cruiser apparel and makes everything from Jackets to gloves and
boots. The Hollister glove is one of your favorites. These fingerless gloves
have an all leather construction with padded palms, vented knuckles, an
expansion seem on the top of the hand, and an adjustable hook and loop closure
at the wrist. These are perfect for hot weather riding. The design promotes cool
comfortable hands while maintaining a firm grip on the handlebars…
Another one of your favorite warm weather gloves are these 29'ers from Icon.
This is a glove that offers excellent breathability from the large cell mesh
construction and finger vents on the top of the hand, but also sneaks a fair
amount of protection in there with their padded Battlehide goatskin leather
palms and padded knuckle protection. They also feature reinforced areas all the
way around the finger tips, and an adjustable hook and loop strap at the wrist
for added comfort. I own a pair of these gloves myself for around town riding
and I agree with you, they're great.
The next glove on your list is sort of a hybrid style glove. This Drymesh glove
from TourMaster combines the breathability of an all mesh glove with a
waterproof, breathable membrane to keep your hands dry. This membrane makes this
a great solution in all sorts of different riding conditions. The top of the
hand is well vented and protected by this abrasion resistant Armor-Link mesh
material. The palm is constructed using perforated goatskin with padded areas
for vibration absorption. Cool when you want to be cool? – Dry when you want to
be dry? Believe me, I get it.
Next, we have hands down one of the best values in motorcycle gloves you'll find
anywhere. These are the GL2068 Naked Leather riding gloves available exclusively
from Jafrum. These gloves are made of very high quality naked cowhide leather
making them incredibly soft. They are windproof but the full aniline leather is
breathable, which allows water vapor to escape, which keeps your hands from
getting overly sweaty. The glove features a reinforced panel on the palm and
thumb and a dual hook and loop strap for added style and an adjustable fit. If
you are not yet familiar with this glove, check out the listing for the 2068's.
You're going to think the price is a typo.
These next few pairs of gloves are the favorites of some of our more aggressive
riders. Whether it's speed, or adverse riding conditions that get their blood
pumping, these guys and gals are in need of gloves with a little something
For the street sport rider, our customers love the Joe Rocket Sonic Gloves.
These gloves have a high level of protection that comes from the reinforced
knuckles, padded fingers and gauntlet, and the all leather construction with
reinforced areas on the palms and thumb. They have the aggressive look of a race
glove, but with less bulk, making them perfect for the streets. The dual strap
on the gauntlet provides rider and gear specific adjustability, and the low
price is no doubt a big factor in their popularity.
This next glove is definitely not a price point glove. This is a glove for the
rider looking for the best. This is an ultra-premium, top of the line offering
from Alpinestars, the GP Pro Race Glove. This customer is in need of the most
protection that a pair of gloves can possibly offer, to ensure that he or she
stays as competitive as possible on the racetrack. These GP Pros feature an all
leather construction with a full kangaroo palm, thermoplastic urethane knuckle
and hand protection, a bridged pinky and ring finger, and a full Kevlar
reinforced liner. For added comfort, the seams on the palm side fingers are on
the exterior, and the thumb has an accordion style stretch panel for mobility.
Lastly we have the favorite of the inclement weather riding elite, the Venture
Heat Epic 2.0 Battery Heated Gloves. These are top of the line heated gloves
that are designed to heat your hands in the nastiest riding conditions, using
the included 7.4 volt battery packs. After a full charge of the batteries, you
can install them into the gloves by simply plugging them in and sliding them
into their pockets on the gloves. This is one of my favorite battery designs
because connecting two slim cells together side by side allows this now flexible
battery pack to lay nice and flat against your wrist. The heat level is
controlled with this button on the back of the hand. Green is warm, yellow is
warmer, and red is molten lava hot. I use the high setting to warm the gloves
initially, then turn them down to yellow once they get to temp. These are
primarily a textile glove, but they do have reinforced leather palms. They also
feature these patches on the index finger and thumb that are able to manipulate
a capacitive type touch screen on a phone or tablet. My personal favorite
feature of the Epic 2.0's is their availability. We have them in stock, you see.
Many of the heated glove models of other brands are very difficult to find after
the New Year, and they don't become available again until late October.

Lake Stevens runner just feet from blast in Boston

Ken McGag / MetroWest Daily News
A race official assists Bill Iffrig after the explosion Monday in Boston.
He didn't know what happened. It sounded just like what it was -- a bomb, he said.
"It was only ... feet away from me," he said. "It was really loud."
Iffrig, 78, was running in his third Boston Marathon. He came out of the incident with little more than a scrape on his knee.
"Just the shock from the blast was the only damage," he said from his hotel room.
A now widely-seen video of the race captured the blast and Iffrig, wearing bib number 19200 over an orange tank top, crumpling from the shockwaves. Video and photos showed him lying on the ground surrounded by police and race officials.
Most of the runners were on the other side of the road at the time of the blast, so Iffrig was the only one who went down, he said.
"A lot of them just kept on going," said Iffrig, a retired mason worker.
Iffrig briefly saw a remnant of what he believes was the bomb, a casing that looked like a coffee can, he said.
"Then all this smoke was coming from someplace, and I wasn't able to see too much."
A race official came to check on him and helped him up.
Then, accompanied by the official, Iffrig walked the last 12 feet or so across the finish line.
"I ended up second in my division," he said. "After you've run 26 miles you're not going to stop there." His timing chip marked his finish at 4 hours, 3 minutes, 47 seconds.
Then the commotion really started.
"The officials came flying out there and they stopped the race and they wouldn't let anyone through. And then the place got busier all the time after that."
Afterward, Iffrig walked the half-mile to his hotel room.
"It was a close one though, boy. I'll tell you, that scared me."
Iffrig took up running in the late 1970s to stay in shape for another of his passions -- mountain climbing. Although his climbing eventually tapered off, Iffrig continued to run.
In 2009, Iffrig raced at the USA Track and Field cross country national championships in San Francisco. He dominated his 10-kilometer race, winning the masters men 70-74 age division in a time of 44 minutes, 48 seconds. For his efforts, Iffrig was named one of four finalists for The Herald's 2009 Man of the Year in Sports award.
"He's won a number of national championships," said Doug Beyerlein, 62, of Mill Creek, a running partner of Iffrig's. "He's one of the top runners in the country in his age group."
Iffrig said he has logged every mile he's run, practice or competitive -- more than 46,000 to date.
"Not many old guys are as fast as me."
Iffrig's family and friends were relieved to find out he was unharmed.
"I was walking across campus (at Central Washington University) and somebody ran up to me and asked if I'd heard about the bombing at the Boston Marathon," said Iffrig's granddaughter, Amanda Kilburn of Ellensburg. "I kind of freaked out and ran home to call my dad. He said my grandpa was OK."
Iffrig's neighbors Patti and Jim Larson, Mike Erickson and Tyler Tarailo said they were shocked to watch television video of Illfrig falling because of the first blast.
"This is just terrible," Erickson said.
Tarailo, a young man who has known Iffrig most of his life, said he is relieved to know that his Lake Stevens neighbor is not seriously injured.
"Bill used to jog all the way down to Kimberly-Clark and back. He's a great guy and always helpful," Tarailo said. "It's good to hear that he is OK."
Patti Larson teared up as she watched her television.
"I don't know what we would do if we didn't see Bill and his wife Donna walking the neighborhood each day," she said.

Fit-again Springbok flanker Schalk Burger will captain the Stormers in Super Rugby this season.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee also confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that Jean de Villiers, who led the team to the top of the combined log last season, would be the team's vice-captain.
'We are blessed with an incredibly strong leadership base in every position,' said Coetzee. 'Schalk will have the Springbok captain in Jean de Villiers to lean on, a Currie Cup-winning captain in Deon Fourie and I haven't even mentioned the likes of Andries Bekker, Tiaan Liebenberg, Duane Vermeulen, Dewaldt Duvenage and Bryan Habana – all of whom are leaders in their positions.'
The squad has been in Hermanus since Monday and the coach expressed his delight at the work done so far.
'We've upped the rugby-specific side of things this week, but we're also having a bit of fun and the guys have responded really well. We've still got two days to go after this, including a fun adventure race on Friday, and then we will turn our attention to next month's warm-up matches.'
The Stormers will face the Cheetahs on 2 February in Bloemfontein and the Boland Kavaliers on 9 February in Wellington.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Miami University senior Layne Baggett continued her storied RedHawk track and field career by advancing to the quarterfinals of the 100m hurdles Friday evening at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds, hosted by North Carolina A&T State University at Irwin Belk Track at Aggie Stadium. Redshirt senior Diona Graves closed her record-setting Miami career Friday, however, running both the 100m and 200m dashes for a final time in the Red and White.
Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) punched her ticket to Saturday's quarterfinals by crossing in a school-record 13.28, which was 14th among the 48 hurdlers in the first round. She broke the record of 13.31 that she tied earlier this year, which earned her the 15th seed entering the race and was first set by Miami Hall of Famer Becca Williams in 1996. Baggett automatically qualified for the quarterfinals by finishing third in her heat, as the top three in each of the six heats, along with the next six best times from the first round move on for a 24-woman quarterfinal. She actually had the 13th-fastest qualifying time, but is seeded 14th based on automatic qualifiers from other heats.
Baggett, who is the three-time Mid-American Conference 100m hurdles champion, will run in the quarterfinals Saturday at 7:05 p.m. She is one of two MAC hurdlers among the four in the first round to advance, along with Eastern Michigan's Vanessa Clerveaux qualifying 16th. A pair of Clemson Tigers posted the top two qualifying times in the first round (12.72 and 12.92). In order to make the NCAA Championships, Baggett will have to be in the top 12 as the top three in each of the three quarterfinal heats automatically advance along with the next three fastest times. Last year, she also earned a berth in the NCAA quarterfinals and placed 20th.
Graves (Fenton, Mo.), who on Thursday placed 23rd out of 48 in the first round of the 100m dash (11.57) to advance, also finished 23rd in the quarterfinals Saturday in 11.65, which is the fourth-best time in school history, all clocked by Graves this year. The top 12 finishers from the quarterfinal heats advanced to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. June 5-8. Central Florida's Aurieyall Scott and LSU's Kimberlyn Duncan shared the top qualifying time of 11.05, while Graves was the lone MAC sprinter to even make the quarterfinals.
Just 90 minutes after running in the 100m quarterfinals, Graves ran in the 200m dash first round and placed 29th out of 48 in 24.04. Her 200m time is also the fourth-fastest time in Miami history, again all clocked by Graves this season. She improved on her seed four spots as she entered the race seeded 33rd with her school-record time of 23.75 from the MAC Championships. Graves was tops among the three MAC sprinters in the first round, however only the top 24 move on to Saturday's quarterfinal, as she missed advancing by 17-hundredths of a second. UCF's Scott had the top 200m qualifying time as well in 22.85.
Graves finishes her Miami career holding six school records: 200m and 4x400m relay indoors and 100m, 200m, 4x100m and 4x400m relays outdoors. She also won four MAC titles at this year's outdoor championships, claiming the 100m and 200m individual gold medals and helping Miami sweep the relays.
Along with Baggett running in the 100m hurdles quarterfinals Saturday, junior Tori Paterra (Elizabeth, Pa.) looks to qualify for her third straight NCAA Championships in the javelin. She throws at noon in the third and final flight of the day. Paterra enters the meet seeded eighth in the East Prelims, while she was a First-Team All-American last year, finishing seventh at the NCAA Championships and fifth in the East Prelims. After three throws for all 48 throwers, the top 16 among all three flights get three more throws in the final with the top 12 from that group advancing to Eugene, Ore. for the NCAA Championships. Freshman Amelia Strickler (Bay Village, Ohio) also competes Saturday in the shot put at 5:30 p.m., with the same NCAA Championships qualification process as the javelin. Strickler is seeded 45th in the shot put.

The Dar Vision for the Future of Biodiversity in Africa seeks to, in part, "Mainstream biodiversity in human well-being and development agendas." Towards this end, the Dar Vision supports work that "Harness[es] biodiversity and ecosystem services for improved agriculture (including increasing productivity and yields and improving food security; and adopting conservation agriculture or 'ecoagriculture' approaches."
ABCG has been working on issues related to food security for some time. ABCG co-hosted a meeting with the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force in 2004 on "Food Security and Conservation in Africa: Addressing Hunger and Farming Issues to Conserve Wildlife". Since that time,we have continued to link to issues and policies affecting food security in a conservation context.
The objective of this task is to develop an integrated set of activities that will begin to allow enhanced understanding of the conditions necessary for sustainable agriculture intensification to improve food security, and improved on-farm uptake of biodiversity-sensitive intensification practices. Participating organizations include AWF, CI and WCS. Through this ABCG collaborative work, we have built knowledge on diversification of food security strategies, the role of agricultural landscapes in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and the linkages to conservation in African landscapes. This work has followed the findings and lessons learned from the experiences in AWF's Zambezi Heartland, WCS's Ituri landscape and CI's spatial analysis work, with a view to scale up the review and analysis in Africa to feed into a formal review of the integrated agricultural landscape initiatives (ecoagriculture) in Africa and a review of the utilization of integrated landscape management to advance climate change adaptation and mitigation.These reviews are a component of an Initiative led by a group of global partners implementing the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature (LPFN) Initiative . LPFN is a three-year collaborative Initiative to foster cross-sectoral dialogue, learning and action to support the widespread practice of integrated agricultural landscape approaches. In doing so, the Initiative is advancing viable pathways for sustainable development in places where food production, ecosystem health, and human well-being must be achieved simultaneously. One of the Initiative's major objectives is to define and advocate policy and action agendas that support innovators in all relevant sectors in developing ecoagriculture landscapes on a scale that would make a significant global contribution toward improving food security, reducing rural poverty, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services. We have built on some of the major findings of the food security work done to date, that will allow us to scale up the use of improved input packages and participatory land use planning that provides for diversification of food security strategies to building improved farming systems as a tool that contributes to achieving conservation objectives. Unfortunately, due to funding restrictions, WCS was unable to carry out its planned activities for FY2012. In FY2013, those funds will be used to augment WCS's activities in the F.1 Climate Change Adaptation task. Activities and accomplishments in 2012 included:
Currently, ABCG is working to develop an enhanced understanding of the conditions necessary for sustainable agriculture intensification to improve food security, and improved on-farm uptake of biodiversity-sensitive intensification practices. With the support of USAID's Biodiversity Analysis and Technical Support (BATS) program, ABCG is developing and testing a foodshed baseline assessment methodology as a part of conservation spatial planning-based projects and is also preparing case studies that will begin to allow enhanced understanding of the conditions necessary for sustainable agriculture intensification to improve food security, and improved on-farm uptake of biodiversity-sensitive intensification practices. ABCG members African Wildlife Foundation, Conservation International, and Wildlife Conservation Society are playing critical roles in these efforts at sites in Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo.
In 2011, ABCG produced a report titled "Finding Optimal Trade-offs Between Food Security and Conservation in Africa: A Review of Tools and Presentation of Case Studies from Zambezi and Ituri Landscapes" that was co-authored by experts from AWF, CI and WCS. A 2-page summary of the report is also available.

European fixed income investors expect the eurozone crisis will persist through 2012, according to a survey by Fitch Ratings.
"48% of survey respondents expect the sovereign debt crisis to continue largely as is," said Monica Insoll, Managing Director in Fitch's Credit Market Research group. "A quarter of investors are more pessimistic, expecting the situation to worsen, evenly balancing the 24% who think it will get better or be solved." A very small minority of 3% optimistically anticipate the crisis will be solved during the year.
The investor survey largely accords with Fitch's view that the eurozone crisis will persist, be punctuated by episodes of severe financial volatility, and not be resolved without a broad-based economic recovery.
Although the ECB's December LTRO action boosted market confidence in banks, benefits to sovereigns are viewed as more uncertain. 37% of respondents said the ECB liquidity action in December was "the big bazooka", reducing the risk of eurozone sovereigns facing liquidity crises. However, 54% said there would only be limited take-up by banks for the purpose of buying sovereign debt. 9% of participants even thought the action could worsen the crisis by increasing the sovereign-banking sector links.
Although the LTRO has eased near-term bank and sovereign funding pressures, it is not evident that banks are using it for large-scale purchases of sovereign debt outside their home countries, nor that it has removed the risk of self-fulfilling liquidity and solvency crises.
Fitch's European Senior Fixed Income Investor Survey Q112 closed on 31 Jan and represents the views of managers of an estimated $7.1trn of fixed income assets.

Coach Davis to speak in Alaska
June 4, 2009
Misenheimer, NC -- Pfeiffer Universitys head basketball coach Dave Davis will be the featured speaker at the state of Alaska's largest coaches clinic next week. Davis will speak on the Pfeiffer System which includes coaching tactics that emphasize constant pressure on both ends of the floor. Coach Davis, who just finished his 13th year as head coach at Pfeiffer, averaged 21 wins per season and directed a program that has led or has been the second leading scorer in NCAA Division I and II for seven consecutive seasons. The Falcons led the country in scoring in 2009 by averaging over 98 points per game.
"Frank said several people have told him Pfeiffer has one of the best systems in the country that uses a lot of small basketball players," said Davis. It is quite an honor to be asked and I am really excited to see Alaska and even more excited to share the Pfeiffer philosophy. The dribble drive motion offense has received national attention with the success of Memphis over the last couple of years, but here at Pfeiffer we have been doing it forever."

7 Alternate Causes Behind Manufacturing Inventory ShortagesDecember 19, 2014 4:19 pm | by SDC CPA, LLC
For manufacturers, employee theft isn't the only potential problem. Complex production processes and the sheer volume of products and materials in your warehouse can make it hard to get a handle on your inventory. That can result in inventory shrinkage, where the actual number of items on your shelves is lower than the number of recorded items.

|Winter Haven Teen Shares All Children's Hospital Story in Nation's Capitol
The first patient to receive a heart transplant at All Children's Hospital traveled to Washington, DC this week to share his story with members of the Florida Congressional delegation. Seventeen-year-old Hunter Ratcliffe of Winter Haven met with four members of Congress and one Senator as part of Family Advocacy Day on Tuesday, July 24. The event, organized by the national Children's Hospital Association, is meant to remind legislators of the real families impacted by their decisions on children's healthcare issues.
Hunter was only six weeks old when he became All Children's first heart transplant recipient in June of 1995. His parents Cathy and Jeff, who accompanied Hunter on his Capitol Hill visits, credit the excellent care he continues to receive at All Children's with not only saving his life but helping him to live that life to the fullest. Hunter will be a senior this fall at Lake Region High School, where he is an acclaimed kicker on the football team and soccer goalie. Hunter called his Capitol experience "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to speak for kids like me."
"This has been an incredible experience," said Hunter's dad Jeff. "There are lives in the balance when these legislators make funding and policy decisions related to kids. We were amazed to be part of the discussions, and are even more impressed with the work of All Children's Hospital to advocate for kids and families like ours."
All Children's Executive Vice President & Chief Administrative Officer Arnie Stenberg visited the delegation offices along with the Ratcliffe family, emphasizing the importance of a strong Medicaid program. All Children's is the largest Medicaid provider of children's health services in the state of Florida, with nearly 70% of its patients relying on Medicaid funding. Equally important, says Stenberg, is the need to maintain or increase funding of the Children's Hospital Graduate Medical Education program, which provides freestanding children's hospitals likes All Children's with federal funding similar to what adult teaching hospitals receive through Medicare. CHGME supports the training of over 6,000 physicians annually and nearly 50% of all pediatric residency training throughout the nation.

"All season Mario has been a very tough player who has worked hard every day in practice," Williams said. "Now he's starting to reap some of the rewards."

Comments about UGG Australia Dakota Slipper (Women's):
I wear these slippers all the time! As soon as I get home from work, I throw on my North Face pants and these shoes. The shoes are so comfortable and soft, despite the snug fit. I don't know if buying a half size larger would be too big, but I do wonder because these fit so snugly. Otherwise, I love them! They keep my feet warm (which I tend to stay cold ALL the time, even living in the South) and seem to be durable.

I purchased these slippers at 2 different times. I purchased size 11 last year and had to send back because they were too snug. This year, I purchased size 12 from UGG and were disappointed that they were still too narrow and unconfortable. I sent them back again. I am a size 11 and I do not have a very wide foot but they were too snug and uncomfortable for slippers.

- Increase Productivity by 500%
- Get More Customers
- Automate Sales & Marketing
- Automate Admin & Accounts
Jeremie Hargraves, MD, Lisarow Glass I own a glazing company on the Central Coast of NSW named Lisarow Glass. I purchased 3G Business and honestly believe it is one of the best decisions I have made. It has become the core of our processes, from phone enquiries to project scheduling, marketing to invoicing. Totally rate and recommend it! - J.Hargreaves MD
Mark Stachnik, CEO & Founder, Drymaster "3GBusiness automated our accounts, simplified the management and scheduling of jobs and enabled us to implement a paperless office. I especially love the auto invoices and the fact that all jobs are automatically synched to the Service Techs mobile phones. Basically 3G Business reduced our operational costs by 60%."
What 3G Business Can Do For Your Business?
Just A Few of Our Powerful Apps...
Let 3GB Manage Your Staff
Managing a business comes with many challenges, one being staff management. The problem is you can't manage each and every task of each staff member or can you? With the 3GB Action Management System now you can automatically remind staff what to do, when to do it, how to do it, monitor workloads and distribute work more evenly.
A Single Messaging App for ALL!
The problem with messaging is the different messaging types (Email, Fax, SMS, Voicemail), the different ways to access them (Outlook, Gmail, Web) and the multiple accounts for each staff member. 3GB simplifies all the above; View all types of messages in 1 single application, allow 3GB to manage who get what message and allow all staff to use 1 or more accounts. No more wasting time looking for this message or that attachment. Monitor and categorise every message and let 3GB place every message where it should be automatically.
A Calendar That Does it ALL
The 3GB Multi-Resource MS Outlook-like calendar is one of the most powerful calendar systems on the market. With auto-appointment confirmations, 1-click appointment booking, recurring appointments and auto-invoice creation, SMS confirmation and reminders plus much more. Not only does all this simplify the scheduling of jobs and services in your business it also syncs ALL calendar data directly to and from the mobile devices of your field staff automatically, saving you Time and Money.
A Customer File with Everything!
All received, sent and created data for your customers will be automatically filed for you. No more creating customer email folders, customer document folders, forwarding customer emails to different staff members or different systems, and no more scanning, dragging and dropping. 3GB will take care of all your customer data.
Simplify Your Accounts
Your salespeople are responsible for the sale; so they should be able to see their customers' accounts. With the ability to manage Current and Outstanding Invoices, Sales Receipts and end-of-day till balancing features plus being able to process payments with auto invoices, you will simplify and save even more.
Automate Your Business With Ease…
Automate Correspondence with Ease!
Choose from over 1000 database fields (per customer), drag and drop to 3GB Word, Fax, SMS, Email or Appointment Template Editors and automate. With an MS Word-like look and feel, you will be able to streamline and automate all company correspondence in no time.
Let 3GB write Your Emails For You!
3G Business email, fax, sms and word clients come with the rich features you're already used to in MS Office applications, eliminating the need for other tools and applications and providing you with some of the most innovative automation features you have ever seen or imagined.
Automate the Creation & Updating of Customer Files
The 3GB Email Parser Wizard enables you to automate incoming Email Messages, Web Enquiries, Emailed Documents and Pictures, create triggers based upon message content to automate the creation and updating of customer files, control business processes and send personalised auto-responses with personalised attachments. Parse & extract information directly to specific database fields and customer files.
Automate your Marketing with Ease!
Use 3GB AutoPilot Marketing to automate Lead Nurturing so you never waste another lead. Maximise repeat business by automating your up-sell, cross-sell and repeat purchase campaigns. Increase sales with auto-Follow-Ups and reward your best customers via the VIP Loyalty System. 3G Business will help you get More Customers and More Sales!
One Database in All 26 Apps
3GB is an All-in-One business system with 26 Apps whereby all Apps store data in one database and that one database is available in all Apps. It also comes with an automation engine that enables you to automate and control all the 3GB Applications.
Hmmm - Imagine: your Email talks to Word and tells it to write a personalised letter and attaches it to a personalised email and sends. This is the power of 3GB with Application Convergence – applications that talk to one another automatically.

Ecosystem Roles
Florida softshell turtles play a role in the aquatic ecosystem both as predators and as scavengers, and in turn provide food (as eggs and post-hatching turtles) for other predators. Young Apalone ferox are prone to bacterial and fungal skin problems; these problems occur in both wild and captive animals and populations. Little is known about parasites in Apalone ferox; they can harbor leeches, and Foster et al. (1998) found eight helminth species in Florida softshell turtle obtained from a commercial processor. The most prevalent helminths were Spiroxys amydae (80%), Cephalogonimus vesicaudus (80%), Vasotrema robustum (76%) and Proteocephalus (63%).

Only available in stores for Record Store Day- Saturday April 21, 2012- across the planet! Ask your store to order it from Revolver, Cargo U.K., Cargo Germany, or Sonic Rendevous.
Legendary NYC underground psychedelic punk rock group Alice Donut celebrates its 25th (and counting) anniversary this year. Their melodic, heavy, odd-metered yet deeply grooved takes on the petty humiliations and sick joys of life have earned them a diehard fanbase since 1987. To mark this special occasion, Alternative Tentacles and the band present a special Record Store Day, limited-edition 25th anniversary package that includes two CDs of fully remixed and re- mastered versions of 25 songs selected by the band's fans in an online poll, plus a DVD of the new documentary on the band from 120dB Films and Duotone Films.
Alice Donut is impossible to categorize. Mixing garage, folk, punk, metal, Kurt Weill, noise, glam and danzón with shamelessly inappropriate harmonies, their music is a disorienting hybrid of chaos and hooks often punctuated with brass instrumentation and lyrics that take on life's perversities. They've retained a large cult following through the years as a magnet for the sweaty freaks, hyper-literate fringe-dwellers, paranoid misanthropes and worshipers of the 100-watt mosh. Alice Donut has made a career of creating the wrong music at the wrong time for the wrong people and somehow doing it, oddly, right.
The DVD documentary Freaks in Love: A Quarter Century in Underground Rock with Alice Donut includes interviews with Jello Biafra, Greg Werckman, Martin Bisi, Curt Kirkwood and many others. It explores what it took to navigate the world of underground rock from the band's humble mid-'80s beginnings at CBGB's and signing to Alternative Tentacles, through the relentless touring of over 1,500 shows throughout the US and Europe (including performing in front of 40,000 people at Reading Festival, touring with Blind Melon, the Meat Puppets and more), to negotiating the major label feeding frenzy of the mid-'90s culminating with a look at how changing times affect a long-running underground band.

Exposed On the Radio
Last month's issue of the Non-Toxic Times reviewed the new book from investigative journalist Mark Shapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power. This is an important work not because it outlines the many ways Americans are being harmed by toxic products and the laissez-faire regulatory climate that places corporate protectionism ahead of consumer protections but becauase it addresses what this means for our economic future and American influence in the world.
Shapiro argues that in a world trending toward green, strong regulations based on the Precautionary Principle will serve a country well both ecologically and economically (as in Europe) and that those nations that don't follow this path (as ours is currently refusing to do) won't be able to compete in a global marketplace with higher environmental standards and so are destined to lose out in a big way. Excellent thesis and I totally agree. Ironically, in the long run, all these corporations that say regulations harm business and the economy are just shooting both in the foot.
All of which is a somewhat roundabout way of mentioning that Shapiro was on California's KQED radio last week. The program is archived here for your auditory illumination . It's very much worth listening to and the book is one everyone should read. Especially all these recalcitrant business types…
