ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Two notorious Great Lakes invaders---the zebra mussel and the round goby---now play a central role in transferring toxic chemicals called PCBs up the food chain and into Saginaw Bay walleyes, one of that region's most popular sport fish.
The links between zebra mussels, round gobies and contaminated Saginaw Bay walleyes is a disturbing example of unanticipated problems that can occur when non-native species get loose in the Great Lakes, said University of Michigan fishery biologist David Jude, lead author of a paper on the topic published online today in the Journal of Great Lakes Research.
"This zebra mussel-to-goby link in Great Lakes contaminated areas is one of the main conduits of PCB transfer to top aquatic predators such as the walleye, and it plays a substantial role in PCB transfer to birds, mammals and reptiles in the region as well," said Jude, a research scientist at the U-M School of Natural Resources and Environment.
Between 2005 and 2007, Jude's team collected walleyes, round gobies and various other fish species, as well as zebra mussels and zooplankton, in the Tittabawassee River, the Saginaw River and Lake Huron's Saginaw Bay. Then they measured levels of PCBs in all those organisms---the first such study in the Saginaw Bay region.
"Though the levels of PCBs in Saginaw Bay walleyes have declined sharply in recent years, these toxic substances continue to show up at levels high enough to warrant concern," Jude said.
The highest levels were seen in the largest walleyes, which contained an average of 1,900 nanograms of PCBs per gram---just under the 2,000 nanogram Environmental Protection Agency threshold for mandatory fish-consumption advisories. A nanogram is a billionth of a gram.
Polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, are manmade chemicals that were once used in hundreds of industrial and commercial applications. But the manufacture of PCBs was banned in the

if he was a 2.5, he probably isn't very experienced, and doesn't know correct warm up etiquette. too bad you didn't want to explain it to him, or simply ask that he hit the ball to you so you could warm up.

When I started to warm-up with that guy, the only shot he could hit was drop shots that would fall maybe 1 or 2 feet in front of the net, when i'm standing at the baseline... After a few times I thought OK i'm just going to stand closer to the service line and try to rally, but then he started to hit angles to pass me. I tried to talk to him a bit, but the guy wouldn't even respond and had that kinda arrogant look. I ended up changing warm up partners and he played with the lesser skilled players, but still i'm puzzled to see people act like that.
We have a competitive league, weakest players are 3.5 and strongest solid 5.0, so usually people know proper etiquette for warming up.
I think people who play tennis generally know that when your warming up, you try to keep the ball in the center and not go for big angles and you try to keep the ball deep enough. Then you warm up volleys/smashes and then a few serves, what you see on TV basically. The whole idea is just to warm-up your muscles, not tire yourself out before even starting, but it seems some people have completely missed that.
Ever had something similar happen to you?

The King of Pop and its crown prince --that'd be the late and much-missed Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber -- collaborated on a song called 'Slave 2 the Rhythm,' and it's almost too much pop awesomeness to handle.

AAA Michigan Applauds Legislators for First Step in Banning Texting While Driving
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ — AAA Michigan today (October 22) applauded legislators for their vote which would ban all motorists from text messaging while driving in Michigan. Today's bill was passed by the House Transportation committee and will be sent to the full house for consideration.
"AAA Michigan strongly supports this bill and we hope that it will be passed as a primary enforcement offense," said AAA Michigan Traffic Safety Manager Jack Peet. "We understand the wireless carriers, such as AT&T, lobbied the transportation committee members to make this a secondary offense. We hope the wireless carriers will see the safety reasons why this bill should be passed as primary enforcement legislation.
"The technologies that help us multitask in our everyday lives present a hard-to-resist challenge to the typically safe driver," Peet added. "Today's action is a great step in helping to make our roads safer. Studies have shown that a driver's crash risk doubles when he or she looks away from the road for two or more seconds. Text messaging while driving is a clear and persistent danger to all drivers."
AAA Michigan joins AAA clubs across the country in working on new legislative and communications/educational campaigns to help pass laws banning text messaging by drivers in all 50 states by 2013. Currently, 18 states and the District of Columbia have laws that address text messaging by all drivers. Two more states have laws that prohibit teens or other new drivers from texting while driving.
AAA Michigan cites strong public support for text message ban laws and new research by the Automobile Club of Southern California showing the impact of California's texting ban, implemented in California in January, 2009. Prior to the California texting while driving ban, researchers observed 1.4 percent of drivers at any point in time in Orange County, Calif., were texting while driving. Following the law taking effect, just 0.4 percent of drivers were observed texting – a decline of about 70 percent.
AAA Michigan has been involved in driving safety since its founding nearly a century ago, with activities including the AAA School safety patrol and road safety improvement programs. AAA Michigan offers travel, insurance and financial services to more than 1.6 million members in Michigan. It is part of The Auto Club Group (ACG), the largest affiliation of AAA clubs in the Midwest, with approximately 4.1 million members in eight states. ACG belongs to the national AAA federation, a not-for-profit organization with more than 51 million members in the United States and Canada.

We had another busy week at TalkAndroid so here's a recap of all the top stories. As we head into the winter, all eyes will be focused on the Galaxy S 5 and the successor to the HTC One (M8). What does Samsung and HTC have in store? Google already updated KitKat to 4.4.1 fixing the Nexus 5 camera among other enhancements. Speaking of KitKat, thanks to Cyanogen, more users can now get a taste of it with CM11 Nightlies. Google is readying a new Nexus TV box that we hope is a lot more successful than Google TV. Will Chrome apps take over Android and what the hell has been keeping Andy Rubin so busy. It's time to get caught up and get ready for another exciting week.

Willy Northpole - Body Marked Up
Artist: Willy Northpole
Producer: Wonka
Album: Tha Connect
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 22 votes )
On February 3rd, the Patriots and Giants will compete for the Lombardi Trophy in Glendale, Arizona. While that game will take center stage, another competition continues to brew in the Valley of the Sun; G-Unit's Young Hot Rod and Black Wall Street's Juice have been joined by DTP signee, Willy Northpole, in the race for Arizona's Hip-Hop bragging rights. With an original flow (let's call it conversational), Northpole talks about the ink all over his skin and the meaning behind it on Body Marked Up. Producer Wonka provides a beat strong enough to be an appropriate backdrop, but soft enough to make listeners focus on Northpole's flow. Willy's debut album, Tha Connect, is tentatively set to drop later this year.

The Science and Craft of Teaching
Monday, August 04, 2014
With lawsuits trying to make it easier to rid the system of ineffective teachers, more attention is going to how to teach teaching.Elizabeth Green, co-founder of Gotham Schools (now Chalkbeat) and the author of Building a Better Teacher: How Teaching Works (and How to Teach It to Everyone) (W. W. Norton & Company, 2014), explores "best practices" for training educators.
→EVENT: Elizabeth Green reads tonight at Book Court, 163 Court St, in Brooklyn at 7pm.
Guests:Elizabeth Green
Comments [16]
Speaking to the question regarding respect for teachers in Japan: I also taught ESL in Kyushu and was amazed at the deference afforded me...much more so than in Brazil--and at the mere age of 21! Stateside, the title of Teacher is probably currently analogous to an Internet Entrepreneur, Ceo or (unfortunately) a Pro Athlete.
According to Wikipedia: The word SENSEI (先生) is a Japanese word that is literally translated as 'person born before another'. In general usage, it is used, with proper form, after a person's name, and means 'teacher, and the word is used as a title to refer to or address teachers, professors, professionals such as lawyers, CPA and doctors, politicians, clergymen, and other figures of authority. The word is also used to show respect to someone who has achieved a certain level of mastery in an art form or some other skill: accomplished puppeteers, novelists, musicians, and artists for example are addressed in this way.
A few others have noted this but it needs to be repeated. Too much attention is being paid to creating the perfect teacher and no time is being given to creating an effective student. Why is there the absence of such a discussion in the American Media? Ms. Green repeats the same clichés and continues to muddle the issues. Ms. Green like so many others have found the education debate a wonderful means of self promotion but there is not much depth to her analysis. Why, we need to ask, is so much attention given over to a model of education located in middle school or the lower grades? Why should these models be the measure of all things? This is what I mean: the most important thing in the classroom is not the teacher or student----it is the thing that needs to be learned. But you would never think this if you listen to or read those teaching in Schools of Education or to those working in professional education. The most important thing students needs to learn is the discipline it takes to learn and yet how do we teach students this in school? This is why many who teach in higher education will tell you that the best students they have are international students who are not products of the American educational system---even from the best public schools. These international students out work even the best American students. So political leaders--like the mayor and professional educators can continue to play their games but the rest of world --and American Higher Education--has moved on and discovered that they do not need poorly educated Americans with poor discipline and attitudes. And American Companies have discovered this as well---if there will be any American Corporations left anymore in America. Maybe we need to export our students overseas to other educational systems who will be able to educate our students without the burden of too much poorly considered education philosophy, child development psychology, social ideology, etc. With discipline all is possible and without it no student will ever learn. So why is this absent in all public discussions of public education in America?
I've been a volunteer Math Tutor working with several hundred students, ranging from 5th graders through adults at a community college. During that time, there have not been twelve students who fully knew their Multiplication Tables - a most fundamental underpinning for Math success. Of course, virtually all knew their 2x, 5x & 10x tables but beyond that they virtually hit a wall. At that point, many would immediately whip out their calculators to find the answer!
I showed these students the benefits of mastering the Tables - today and for the rest of their lives. Once they saw it, they were excited and agreed. I then devised a very simple and highly effective way to teach these students the complete Tables in a half-day.
The only resistance to any of this was from the "educators". They objected to what they called memorization. They had "no time" for teaching the Tables because it wasn't part of their syllabus, schedule or upcoming test. They wanted their students to "think", not do "drill and kill."
Once they have passed their Math exams/regents, most students will rarely use those subjects in real life. Some will go on to do so in the sciences, engineering and business related areas. However, each and every student can use their mastery of the Tables in everyday life from supermarket shopping to most every other transaction.
Failure is not an acceptable option in this endeavor.

Sue from NYC, kids are already being overburdened with too much busy work that is not meaningful. They do not need to spend more time at school, they need to have all those other activities reintegrated back into the school curriculum. Fortunately, my son went to elementary and middle schools were the teachers were predominantly experienced and enthusiastic and managed to work around the "no child left behind" strategies so that my son had an enriched curriculum.
As for practicing math - my son didn't need some ridiculous "study his brains out schedule" for more hours than adults work to be able to excel. He did study, on his own, for the SHSATs but not excessively. He is now at Bronx Science where he is excelling even though he still has time to play piano and hang out with his friends. He's just motivated and uses his time constructively.
As for teaching to "everyone" what rot. My niece took an entirely different path. Bored to tears in middle school and high schoolin Southern California. Doodled her way through classes much to her mother's dismay. She managed to find the Academy of Art in San Francisco, which she started on campus and finished online at home. She has NO student debts - zero zippo nada. And she just nailed a job with Marvel Comics as a writer.
My son would never thrive at the Academy of Art. My niece would have foundered at Bronx High School of Science.
Freaking leave the teachers alone and support them because they're here to teach your precious little whatever and since Blomberg time and mind the city has been bashing teachers..I was a teachers once I don't want to be even near any of your children most of them are misbehaved confused and their parents are also overwhelming, my sister teaches in Manhattan for rich kids and she still has difficulty with these little monsters so give teachers a brake
As an 8th grader I tutored 6th and 7th in reading. Consisted mostly of supplying the correct pronunciation or a definition so they could continue to PRACTICE. I dare say any interested person can tutor. The tutoring part of learning - repeated practice until mastery - will be moving over to computers in the next generation for most students, none of that pesky personal embarrassment involved in classroom learning.
Classroom teaching will become a more highly-prized skill while many classroom tasks - for the bad teachers, too many - will be relegated to the machines.
Good teachers are imperative but the definition of what makes a good teacher will be in heavy flux.
There are rich and important resources that are coming out of the research of Harvard's Graduate School of Education. Specifically, the research group, Project Zero, is exploring and promoting the idea of Visible Thinking. There are too many details to enumerate here but it is an exciting and challenging way of reframing and retooling teacher practice. It goes hand in hand with Teaching for Understanding, a framework which also came out of the work of PZ researchers. In both these frames, teachers become more like facilitators and are co-learners in the educational journey children take, they are in charge absolutely but they are not "sage on the stage". Also, learning as research is showing over and over again is social, collaboration is a key piece of constructing knowledge and building understanding. And a key move students learn in these models is how to craft and ask big, serious and important questions, questions which will lead to inquiry, which will lead to students developing understanding of authentic key concepts, principles, ideas and questions of disciplinarians in fields of sciences, mathematics, visual arts, music, other arts, literature, history and the sub-disciplines that come out of these. In all of this, students develop a critical sense of agency as learners. For any interested in pursuing this, visit Project Zero's website,or the Visible Thinking webpage.
From the perspective of a student, I have had teachers who were wonderful, could relate well to the class, who made the subject matter interesting and who could teach anyone anything. On the other hand, I have also had teachers who were unskilled, unable to communicate well with students, indifferent, unable to answer student questions. Some of the worst teachers I've ever had have been college professors, who are allowed to get by solely on the basis of the knowledge of their subject matter, but had absolutely no idea how to share that knowledge with others. Quite apart from having good teachers in grades K-12, I think college professors ought to have teaching credentials before they are unleashed on unsuspecting, paying students.
From the perspective of a teacher, I prefer teaching individuals to teaching a class, mostly because today's junior high and high school students are indifferent and hard to corral. Teaching individuals is great because I can get into one head at a time and make the material relevant and comprehensible. When that individual's light bulb suddenly flicks on, that is a moment of extreme satisfaction for me.
A great deal of attention is given to teacher competence; I can't recall any attention to the question of student learnability. No tests are administered to determine whether students are actually capable of what will be required of them. We've had reports of falsifying test results that cover up these inabilities. No child should be left behind, but they should be located somewhere they actually would thrive.
Great! Another hand in the ed reform honeypot. Laying the successes and failures of the entire education system at the feet of teachers--the only way to get attention to your book is to focus in this way apparently. Lost in this young woman's interrogative inflected naïveté are the same old mistaken assumptions:
*We should focus only on teachers, not systems, not the little darlings, not poverty, not corporate meddling, not bloated bureaucracy, etc.
*Making cross-national, cross-cultural comparisons without explaining where the societies differ in significant ways from the situation in the US.
Another cowardly echo of the magic bullet theory-a "highly effective teacher" will solve all society's problems. Yawn.
While the school day being shortened for the teachers, so they can improve their skills, is a fine idea, the school day for students should be lengthened. We should bring in a whole different after school staff to provide enrichment programs to the kids, like art and coding and sports and music. So while the teachers are working on their own to become better teachers, the students would be doing the fun learning they must eschew during the earlier part of the school day in favor of academics.
Let's assume that all of this is wonderful -- no question. BUT:
Teacher's will not be able to teach math unless they KNOW MATH.
Until we require that, until we test for that, teaching math will continue to be a joke.
Why do Americans stink at math?
Americans stink at math because we don't have facility with simple arithmetic which is largely a matter of recognizing situations and repeating basics which were learned by rote. The technology to have a machine do it is introduced to soon and relied on too much.
Give it twenty years, the same question will be asked about why Americans can't park a car.
In my first five years as an inexperienced NYC Teaching Fellow, I was placed in an elementary school in Crown Heights. The principal rarely left her office and each day berated teachers over the PA system during instructional time. There was no professional development and as a new teacher, I was supposed to be observed fifteen times during the first three years. Instead, I was observed twice in five years! In fact, my third observation was a copy of my first observation with the dates changed. How was I supposed to develop into a highly effective teacher? I did it on my own. I took classes for my master's degree and read professional literature; I watched videos and refined my practice. I also transferred to a new school and specifically targeted schools with strong leadership (test scores, turnover rate). Now I work at a very high performing school where the principal is highly involved in the faculty's development. I am offered constructive criticism, meaningful professional development every week, and because my principal has set very high expectations, the faculty is top notch. I believe great teachers can be built but they must have the proper leadership and guidance.
I would say the other half of the education equation is PARENTS! Not so much being involved with the schools and interacting with teachers, which are important as well, but instilling in their children manners, respect and a passion for learning. A good teacher can only do so much if the student is not engaged in the classroom. I think a lot of parents send their kids off to school and expect the system to "raise" their kids. Teachers already have to not only teach, but be social workers, do conflict resolution, child behaviorist/psychologist. All while worrying about how the latest standardize test scores reflect on their in classroom performance. Let's start pointing the blame on teachers, and point the fingers back at us, the parents.
It's important to have a good teacher, of course, but there is the other half - students who are grateful for a teacher who teaches them, grateful for whatever they learn, willing to help the teacher and be respectful. Some teachers leave because the discipline problems are too great.

Would recommend
Perfect spot in nature
No complaints, impeccable room, friendly service always, staff willing to do anything asked, even to execute unusual tasks. Cannot imagine a more ideal spot in Aspen. While more than I regularly pay for a hotel, it was worth its weight in gold.
During these challenging economic times, that is a big statement from me. I would return to the Gant and recommend it without reservation. It is as close as one can get to the mountains without camping in them, and for a city girl that is a huge plus.
Proximity of mountain trails is walking distance. Maroon Bells, the most photographed site in this country, is a 20 minute drive and walk. Nature does not get much more glorious.
very comfortable,beautiful condo.,beautiful view of the mountains from the balcony but noisy especially at night because of too many children.

I got this. Make one more eeveelution, then through some strange thing - whether it be dna splicing to 2nd evolution for everyone - make them dual type.
Eevee stage 2 would be interesting
Not that I think they necessarily should, but I personally would enjoy it.
Jumping on the Fenne-Bandwagon
Maybe a nest filled with bugs or something? *shrugs*
My bet is that the new Eeveelution is going to be Steel and maybe either; Rock, Flying, Ground or Ghost.
Imagining a bug or dragon infused mammalian creature would be interesting. Personally I'm open to any type.

Well this has probably been my best forum achievement so far on any forum. I'd like to say thank you to all who contributed. With Sylveon (Pokémon) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia being announced for Gen VI I think we can /thread
See you all in Gen VII when we clamour for news of Steeleon and co!

I can imagine a poison type eeveelution being called "Toxeon" or something like that...
As Eevee has always evolved into special types by now, I would shoot at dragon type. Fairy surely would be in the special category if it came in Gen II.
There's seriously got to be a fairy evolution or a dragon one. On a side note, I would like to be able evolve Eevee into an almost legendary type of pokemon, I think that would be cool. They could actually revolve an entire game around that Idea if they wanted to.
The Fairy one has been confirmed for months now. A Dragon one would be cool to have if only to have a pair of new Eeveelutions like in the previous even-numbered Gens and to complete the coverage of Special types.
A dragon eeveelution would catch so many people's attention.
What if there is one but they've chosen to keep it secret while Sylveon's new type takes the spotlight? I imagine the discovery of it by players would rival the discovery of Mew.

Concerns over pollution have become an increasingly important issue for management and directors for several reasons:
• Potential Liability for Environmental Damage: Corporations are being sued for alleged environmental damage caused by their operations. This can result from current production practices (damage from oil spills such as in Gulf of Mexico) or from long-closed plants (Superfund sites would be one example).
Not only are companies being sued for the costs to clean up or remedy the situation, they may be held liable for business/economic losses (as in the loss of tourism/jobs in the Gulf of Mexico) and health implications. Also one should consider that issues of environmental damage have moved beyond the U.S. and Europe to developing nations.
• New legislation targeted at Carbon Credits: Environmental advocates around the world are pushing for "carbon taxes" – an additional tax for companies that cause damage to the environment.
While this has not been adopted in the U.S., it is an emerging issue and one that is potentially both disruptive and costly.
• Customer/Stakeholder concerns with "sustainability": Customers and stakeholders view good environmental practices (companies that are "green") as desirable and competitively advantaged. The result is generally higher returns (profits) and premium market valuations.

American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Statement Warns about Risks of Hysterectomy with da Vinci System, Parker Waichman Recounts
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) issued a statement yesterday on robotic surgery for hysterectomy; according to Bloomberg, the only robotic system approved for such uses is the da Vinci robot system manufactured by Intuitive Surgical. ACOG states that this system drives up the cost of surgery and there is little evidence showing that it is as effective as other methods for hysterectomy.
(PRWEB) March 15, 2013
Parker Waichman LLP, a national law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of victims injured by defective medical devices, is commenting on a statement by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) about the da Vinci surgical robot manufactured by Intuitive Surgical. According to a statement issued by the group yesterday, there is little evidence showing that the da Vinci is as effective as other methods for performing a hysterectomy. ACOG also emphasizes that the method is costly, and warns consumers that it is important to not be swayed by heavy advertising with regards to robotic surgery.
"ACOG´s statement shows that the latest and most expensive medical device is not always the best option," says Parker Waichman LLP. "In fact, evidence suggests that the da Vinci surgical robot may present more risks compared to other methods, on top of being more costly." Parker Waichman LLP offers free legal advice to patients who suffered alleged injuries that may have been caused by the robotic system.
According to Bloomberg, the da Vinci is used for procedures including prostate surgeries, gallbladder removals and hysterectomies (removal of the uterus). Surgeons who are learning to use the da Vinci robot tend to have higher rates of complications. In a procedure with the da Vinci surgical robot, the surgeon uses foot pedals and hand controls to maneuver robotic arms equipped with surgical tools. The video-game like console, which is several feet away from the patient, utilizes a 3—D camera to show what is being done inside the patient.
Bloomberg further outlines that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating surgeons about the safety of the robotic system. According to a review of adverse incident reports by Bloomberg News, injury reports associated with the da Vinci has increased from 24 to at least 115 from 2009 to 2012 and deaths rose from 11 to 30 throughout that time period; the review also found that the surgical robot is linked to at least 70 deaths since 2009. According to Bloomberg, adverse event reports have been used as a tool to detect safety issues for medical devices.
Barbara Levy, vice president for health policy at ACOG, told Bloomberg that some 600,000 hysterectomies are performed each year in the United States. A Feb 4th 2012 regulatory filing shows that surgical robots were used for 367,000 procedures last year, including 176,000 uterus removals. Levy says that the da Vinci "is absolutely not" the least invasive type of hysterectomy" according to Bloomberg. She stated that complications such as scarring "are higher up; they are more visible; there are more of them; and they are bigger" compared to other methods for a hysterectomy.
The ACOG represents 56,000 physicians in the United States, according to Bloomberg. The group´s statement, which was posted yesterday by President James T. Breeden, MD, stated that "there is no good data proving that robotic hysterectomy is even as good as–let alone better–than existing, and far less costly, minimally invasive alternatives." The group pointed out the fact that the da Vinci has been heavily marketed, and warned consumers that "At a time when there is a demand for more fiscal responsibility and transparency in health care, the use of expensive medical technology should be questioned when less-costly alternatives provide equal or better patient outcomes." ACOG cited a study in the Journal of the American Medical Associations showing that the robotic surgeries for hysterectomies has jumped from less than 0.5 percent to more than 10 percent in three years; another study found that the system raised the cost of surgery by an average of $2,000 without any added benefit.
Additionally, ACOG points out that using the surgical robot comes with a learning curve. Levy told Bloomberg that until a surgeon fully develops expertise with the da Vinci, the rate of complications may be higher, not lower. Similarly, ACOG´s statement says that "Expertise with robotic hysterectomy is limited and varies widely among both hospitals and surgeons." Levy also told Bloomberg that "cherry picked and very misleading information" comparing hysterectomies done via da Vinci versus traditional operations with large incisions can be misleading.
Parker Waichman LLP continues to offer free legal consultations to victims of da Vinci Surgical Robot injuries. If you or a loved one experienced surgical burns, perforated or torn organs, torn blood vessels or other injuries associated with the da Vinci Surgical Robot, please contact their office by visiting the firm's da Vinci Surgical Robot Lawsuit page at yourlawyer.com.

Information Technology Supervisors in the United States with more than 10 years of experience in their profession represent slightly less than three-fifths of Information Technology Supervisors.

Information technology (IT) supervisors, also called IT managers, are responsible for an organization's computer network. Their duties may vary based on industry, but they are typically tasked with implementing security measures, managing user access, and maintaining network operations. As a supervisor, they also typically oversee a team of IT professionals.Read More...
Information technology encompasses everything from email to hardware to software; schools, private businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and many other industries use IT departments to maintain the technology services that they use.
IT supervisors' primary duty is broad network management. This includes setting up spam filters for email accounts, initializing virus protection software on the network, and helping employees or clients troubleshoot any issues they are having with the computers or Internet. IT supervisors act as experts in the department and typically supervise subordinate IT specialists, assisting with any escalated concerns that arise. They may train staff and ensure that their employees are performing effectively. They also mediate any disputes or issues that arise.
IT supervisors are generally expected to work on call if there are any emergencies with a business' network administration. They are able to work remotely from home if their business allows for it, as long as there is an Internet connection available on both ends.
IT supervisors typically have bachelor's degrees in computer science or a related field. As supervisors, they also exhibit a deep understanding of technology and its infrastructures. They may need several years of experience before being promoted to a managerial position, which may also require some experience in leading a team.

Songstress and sexy person Taylor Swift was spotted in New York wearing a miniskirt. When I say miniskirt I mean it's mini. It barely goes to her mid thigh. Most importantly it allows us a view of Taylor's glorious legs. I've said it before and I will say it again, Taylor Swift has the best legs in America. They are the perfect combination of toned and curvy. They are also long. I'm reminded of all those old movies where they would say things like, "She's got legs for days" or "She has legs up to here". The best part is that Taylor knows she has unbelievable legs and likes to show them off. My mom always told me to put my best qualities out there and Taylor certainly follows my mom's advice.
I've been, not stalking, but hoping to run into Taylor since she moved to NYC. I just happen to often find myself in her neighborhood and I am always hoping for an encounter. Not that I have anything productive to say to her. I'd probably just stutter something nonsensical and point at her legs. I'm not good under pressure.

Does anyone know if we're allowed to use tripods or monopods, anything like that at disney?
Has anyone tried?
I just worry about carting it around, setting it up, people tripping over
Hey Disfan, I have used my mini backpacking tripod at Disney. They are pretty stable, in my case I can velcro it around a post, railing or the like, and it fits in the camera bag or in my case fanny pack. They are usually under $20 USD. Gorillapod has bendable legs that can wrap around the same things and you can get them online.
I've used my mini-tripod at WDW a couple of times. But I really dislike carrying it around the parks. My camera bag is tiny--just holds my camera and a spare memory card and spare batteries. And my purse already is pared down as much as possible, so I don't want the additional weight in there.
Just remember, if you take it, you carry it!
Really there is not much to drag around....this folds up to the size of a pair of reading glasses and weighs just about as much. You could do time exposures with it...fairly steady.Originally Posted by Skywatcher, post: 52392
This is the exact one I have:
Ooooh! Much nicer than mine! Mine is old and kind of heavy--probably at least one pound. Works well around here, but wouldn't want to carry it in the parks!
