By Janaki Mythily Kumar, SAP User Experience, SAP AG – April 12, 2006 • The definitive version was published in INTERACTIONS, see the copyright note below
Does globalization increase productivity? Does it make companies more profitable? There are obvious cost savings due to salary differences across the world, but when we go beyond this obvious point, we find both benefits and deficits. In this report, I explore the more intangible benefits and drawbacks of globalization from a UI designer's point of view.
I am a user interface designer working in California for SAP, a large multi-national company based in Europe. I am part of a broadly distributed interdisciplinary team, working on a strategic project with many interdependencies. My team members work in 6 geographical locations namely Germany, U.S., India, Israel, China and Ireland. My day typically consists of early-morning conference calls with Europe, late-evening conference calls with Asia and working with my local team members in between. In the morning I might have 20-30 email messages from various parts of the world. Some messages are attempts by my colleagues and co-workers to inform me and others on what is going on around the world. Some are messages seeking information from me. I can easily spend two or more hours a day managing my email and responding to messages seeking my response. After this I get down to do my real work – designing, thinking, drawing, and writing.
On the plus side, I admit that I love working with colleagues around the world. People from different cultures have different approaches to solving problems. At design time, it is great to get feedback from an angle that I may not have considered. It gives me a global perspective and increases my awareness of being a global citizen. At any point in the day, I roughly know what time it is in Germany, Israel, China and India. Sometimes, globalization even directly increases my productivity. I ask someone in China for some information before I go to bed, and I have a detailed answer when I wake up. No time lost! I love those moments.
On the minus side, not all moments are as efficient as I have described above. There are delays in response and communication, and in such cases I might lose a day instead of a few hours. I just have to plan for this and work around it. Similarly, as a UI designer, I am not there to directly answer design questions as they come up. Do I cause delays for others? Or worse, do they work around it by making assumptions? I have to consciously make efforts to be available to avoid these situations. Hence I always carry a mobile phone with email and SMS capabilities.
To be honest, responsiveness is really an individual thing. I have colleagues across the world who are extremely reachable, even at very late hours. However, as a rule, I try not to abuse this, so they will continue to be responsive.
Communication and collaboration can take up a significant chunk of project time. I have heard that each geographic location takes up 25% communication overhead. If this is true, it takes only 4 locations to get to 100%! Where is the time to do the real work?
Management of a globally staffed project is very difficult. Unless there is diligent project planning, activities can get overlooked. It is hard enough to manage projects when your team is staring you right in the face. Having team members across the globe, with different vacation practices and holidays makes project planning that much more difficult. By the time projects are divided into sub projects, sub projects into tasks, and tasks assigned to people, some inter-project dependencies are forgotten or not considered. As a designer, if you are the one talking to development organization(s) and marketing, you might be the first to identify such gaps. I bet this communication overhead goes beyond 25%!
My company's official language is English and I have to say that most of my colleagues around the world are conversant in it. However, from time to time, there are instances of miscommunication and misinterpretation based on regional differences. For example, American expressions such as "heard through the grapevine" and "piece of cake" don't translate well literally, and American colleagues have been confused by emails referring to "handy", which is the German word for cell phones. To avoid this, as a matter of habit, I re-read my emails before pressing the "Send" button, and I enunciate my words during conference calls.
As a UI designer, how do you truly brainstorm and conduct design sessions with someone 10,000 miles away via NetMeeting and a telephone line? The best you can do is to take turns presenting and giving feedback. It is difficult to work on an idea together. It is time consuming, and technology gets in the way. Our company has invested in more sophisticated technology, but hardly anyone I know uses it. For instance, we have a large white board that is supposed to take pictures as you draw, but we do teleconferencing so frequently that no one wants to mess with all that clunky technology. And video conference is not really needed for the type of design sessions we want to have. It is just a lot more convenient to pick up the phone and call. Even that can be complicated if there are more than two parties involved and more than two countries. We usually set up an international call-in number and all participants call in from wherever they are. We make it work for us, but we could really use better collaboration tools.
Traveling is an option, although an expensive one. At first traveling can be fun. We get to see and socialize with our colleagues and attach a person's physical appearance to an email address. We form relationships and connections. In an odd way, subsequent remote communication seems easier after just one face-to-face contact. Traveling for key strategic meetings is good, but we cannot be flying over all the time. It is extremely disruptive to our work and personal lives. It is expensive for the company. And if we travel too much, we spend more time worrying about our baggage arriving along with us, and getting over jet lag, and less time thinking about design details and work goals.
Then comes sleep deprivation. We all complain about it, but those working in a distributed environment on high-pressure projects, feel the need to work around the clock. You have to consciously set time aside for family and personal health, since, any time of the day or night, there is always a team member out there who is happy to work with you when they see you online on IM. The work day never seems to end.
To summarize, globalization is an inevitable part of our work life and it does offer significant benefits. But working as a UI designer in a distributed environment also poses some unique challenges. Some of these challenges may be addressed by setting up global organizations that are cognizant of the communication and collaborative nature of design work. Here are some suggestions that might help managers setting up global organizations to alleviate these challenges:
We designers have always built bridges and made connections as part of our jobs. We routinely translate between user needs, marketing requirements, technology, and product functionality. Globalization adds just another dimension to this collaborative endeavor. With enough flexibility, creativity and realistic planning, we can find ways to work seamlessly with our colleagues, regardless of whether they are located across the hallway or across the oceans.
This is just the start of a conversation. There is more to be said on this topic. Do you have a globalization story to tell? Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sixth Consecutive Year Company Makes Forbes' "A-List"
CINCINNATI, OH, October 11, 2004 – In its annual "A-List" of top performing companies, Forbes Magazine listed Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) among the world's 400 "most attractive big public companies for investors." The recognition marks the sixth consecutive year Cintas has made the list. The announcement follows the company's 35 th consecutive year of growth in sales and earnings - an honor surpassed by only one other public company, Wal-Mart.
"Our performance is the direct result of our Cintas culture," said Cintas CEO Scott Farmer. "This recognition demonstrates our steadfast commitment to our customers and shareholder value."
To create the "A-List," Forbes pooled together companies with either sales or market capitalization of $5 billion or more. Public companies that met at least one of the criteria were graded on: Five-year return on capital as a measure of managerial excellence, five-year growth in sales and profit, stock market performance over the past year and analysts' earnings expectations for the coming year. Each category carried the same weight, and companies with questionable accounting practices were excluded. The list represents fewer than 1% of the world's public companies.
Now in its sixth year, the Forbes "A-List" has proven to be more competitive than ever before. Twenty-six of the 57 companies to make the list each year between 1998 and 2003 dropped off in 2004. Cintas was one of 31 companies to receive the recognition every year since Forbes began publishing the list in 1998.
In 2004, Forbes Magazine also named Cintas one of " America 's Best Managed Companies," and Fortune Magazine called Cintas " America 's Most Admired Company" in the diversified outsourcing industry. The company was named the fourth best employer in Canada by Report on Business Magazine in 2004, and received the Matthew 25: Ministries Corporate Humanitarian Award in 2003 for helping more than 1.5 million people worldwide.

… to Survive Five Nights on Mount Adams with a Busted Ankle.
as told to Christian DeBenedetti
TWO YEARS AGO this October, Derek Mamoyac, of Philomath, shattered his right ankle in a fall while day-hiking on Mount Adams. With no cell service, shelter, food, or water, Mamoyac, then 27, couldn't wait for rescue. He had to save himself. Here's how he did it.
ACCEPT THE REALITY After the fall, I knew I was in deep doo-doo. My right ankle was like a wet noodle hanging at the joint. I was on a steep glacier and I wanted to get to cover, so I crawled, dragging myself slowly off the slope. My next strategy was to find a trail.
BOOST YOUR OWN MORALE A search helicopter flew right over me the second night. I thought, "It sees me, I'm going to get out!" But it didn't. I had to get back in He-Man mode: set a goal, keep moving, keep warm.
EAT … ANYTHING I started turning over rocks and logs, looking for creepy-crawlies: centipedes, spiders, ants, grubs. I'd just chew a bit and swallow it. By day five, I hadn't had fluids in three days, so I had to drink my own urine. It didn't go down like apple juice, but that was my way of asserting that I was willing to do anything.
ENVISION SURVIVAL I'd think about my future. I'd have dreams of friends and family, and I imagined a pizza delivery guy showing up. I thought about hiking around the mountain when I was healthy. You have to keep believing you're going to get out.
BE VOCAL The last day, I got to a stream. I meditated and tried to get myself together. Then I heard someone yell my name. I yelled back. That ghost voice got closer and closer. It was a searcher. He said some of my relatives were out there. I thought, "Wow, all these people thought I was dead, but I'm alive!" It was like winning the lottery—the best feeling ever.

Edit: I say this is "natural" because you either have the capacity to be as intelligent in the ring as these three or you don't.

Alcohol Drinks Lockport Wine
"Sweet grape wines aren't for everyone, but if you're looking for something that's close to a fancy ice wine without the staggering expense and small bottles, consider these picks."
Thus far in our Bubbly series, we've covered blueberry, cherry, raspberry, and cranberry wines from Western New York, but we've said very little about the most obvious fruit - the mighty grape. When the average sophisticated wine drinker thinks of grapes, he or she is most likely looking for something rich and complex, hinted with other flavors, and at least semi-dry rather than sweet. For purposes of this article, we're not; rather than focusing on the well-known Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or other dry, low-sugar options, we tasted five sweet choices from two local wineries. At least four of the options are available at Premier Group's Premium Wines shop in Williamsville; we actually picked up bottles this week at the wineries themselves.
Our favorites of the group came from Honeymoon Trail Winery in Lockport, NY, a must-stop location on our recent tour of the nearby Niagara Wine Trail. After an extended testing session that originally was dominated by another bottle, we were most taken by the Frozen Catawba ($11/750ml), a pink blush wine made from a light red-purple grape cultivated by American Indians, and subsequently used in sweet wines and ice wines. Served chilled, the Frozen Catawba was the second sweetest wine of this bunch, with a flavor akin to a slightly more sophisticated, less sugary version of white grape juice. We enjoyed every sip; it's thinner than an ice wine, but similarly lightly tart, and the flavor is every bit as pleasant. It merits 3.5 stars.
Originally, we were lured in to Honeymoon Trail's wine rack by the Frozen Niagara ($11/750ml), which the winery describes accurately as a "very, very sweet Niagara white wine." Niagara grapes, as it turns out, are the source of most white grape juice - a cross-breed of Concord and Cassady grapes that traditionally has been frowned upon for "serious" wines, but nonetheless has attracted admirers due to its unique and complex taste. On our first sip, we knew this would be a fun dessert wine, and its sweetness was a major selling point; it possesses an even more obvious grape flavor, seemingly higher residual sugar content, and a little more alcoholic punch than the Catawba. Yet our comparisons showed that the Catawba stood up better over time; the Frozen Niagara offered less complexity and consequently didn't strike us as equally compelling after a glass or so. We came to view it as similar to a sweetened grape juice, with the alcohol drowned out by the sugar content; it's nice but not Honeymoon Trail's best. It is worthy of 2.5 stars.
An alternative to the Frozen Niagara is Honeymoon Trail's Mighty Niagara ($9/750ml), which lowers the sugar level from the Frozen Niagara, and adds just enough carbonation to give the alcohol a spicy kick with every sip. While sweeter than a semi-dry wine, the Mighty Niagara is impossible to confuse with the Frozen Niagara, possessing a stronger grape flavor and less of an ice wine's near-syrupy sweet leanings. We diverged in our views on this one, with one of us placing it somewhere between the Frozen Niagara and its competitor below, and the other feeling that it was equal in quality to the Frozen Niagara, but different. On balance, we'd give it a 2.5 star rating overall. Note that Honeymoon Trail also offers a less sweet "Pink Catawba" bottle at the same price, which we are not rating.
Two other bottles we purchased came from the nearby Freedom Run Winery in Lockport, visited on the same day and selected for this column because it similarly offered both Niagara and Catawba versions. While we were impressed by the inside of Freedom Run's facility, which is seemingly more spacious and modern than Honeymoon Trail's, we ultimately preferred the latter's sweet wines; Freedom Run's are also served chilled, but taste comparatively dry.
The 2005 Freedom Run Catawba ($10/750ml) was our least favorite of the wines. Though it's described by the winery as "sweet and supple," we found it to be a slightly more watery semi-dry, starting with a relatively powerful grape and alcohol kick, eroding to a bitter aftertaste, the 11% alcohol lingering the longest of the bunch on the tongue. Freedom Run calls it a "crowd pleaser," and it may work for some, but we wouldn't be amongst them. Our rating is 1.5 stars.
Freedom Run's 2005 Niagara ($9/750ml) was better by comparison, simultaneously sweeter and a little more complex, though still a semi-dry by comparison with the Honeymoon Trail version. It starts sweet, with a light, white grape taste, then fades to bitter; despite a 12% alcohol content, the alcohol stands out less from the sugar and the grapes, becoming more apparent - but gently - only as the other flavors fall away. While the grape taste isn't as "big and bold" as the bottle suggests, it's pleasant, if not wonderful. We'd rate it 2 stars.
Sweet grape wines aren't for everyone, but if you're looking for something that's close to a fancy ice wine without the staggering expense and small bottles, the picks above - particularly the Honeymoon Trail ones - deliver a lot of the experience on a more reasonable budget. We'll discuss some other sweet wines in our next Bubbly column, coming soon.

Distance From House
How far away does the oven need to be from my home or any adjacent structures?
It looks like no-one has come up with a general answer so here is a stab.
I took a look at the main page photo gallery and it looks like the closest one is built into the kitchen, sothing to think about when you remodel a kitchen. Another member has commented that they have an oven that was built in their basment next to their firplace as part of the house.
Properly built the dome structure will not give off much heat nor will a properly built fire give off particulates/embers to light up a wood shake roof. Of course that is because your flue will have a spark arrestor on it (a metal screen at the very top.
Cruising through the posted photos the closest oven to a home is about 2.5 to 3 feet. You will need to pay attention to how the wind will react with your door, you will want your door on the leeward side. You will also need to pay attention to where your chimney will vent, such as not building your oven under a tree or in my case under the electrical lines that feed my house or within 3 feet of my backyard property line as the utility company has access rights directly at the property line to access the high tension wires.
JP's correct. I don't think closeness to the house has as much to do with safety as considerations about trees and wind direction. My oven has a cedar shingle roof and the chimney extends 20 inches above the peak. Your fires won't be putting out any embers, so there's no worry there. I've never had any problems at all, and there are cedar trees all over my property. The oven sits about fifteen feet from the house, but that was done purely for asthetic reasons.
Building code says that chimneys have to be 24 inches above any structure within 10 feet.
Most of us don't build to code, but the official answer is 10 feet away from anything taller than it.
Proximity to Building
Thanks Guys! The oven may not be to code but the space I have will work great.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by emilie_morehead Wanted it to be love...but... I eyeballed this top for quite a while. I had noticed that the reviews weren't all that great so I never purchased it till it went on sale. When I received it, I loved the look & feel of the top... Until I tried it on. It was just really unflattering & big on me. For reference, I'm 140lbs, 5'7, 34B 12.31.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by suzay A different look The material is thick like another reviewer mentioned, but I actually like it. The body fits very big, but not something sizing down would fix. It's different, but I like it. The ivory isn't very see through, and embroidery is very pretty. A steal at the sale price! I wish I also got the other colors while they were available. 12.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Annie1019 can't stop wearing it I wear this top as a dress layered over slightly longer slips & it is the cutest thing ever!! I bought this in the white colour in an XS & it looks lovely paired with a dark jacket & docs. I would recommend this top to anyone, great addition to my free people collection. 11.16.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by SG Southern Goddess First item I have ever returned...anywhere! Huge disappointment. It added 10 pounds to me and made me look like i was standing in a ditch. Fabric was thick and heavy. ugggg! 10.2.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sofia33 Not what I expected either..But not bad! To be honest, I wasn't drawn to this top in the studio photos but loved it in the Rambling Rose shots with gypsy jewelry. I expected it to be a soft, lightweight gauze material that flowed nicely but it's nothing like that. It is gauze-like material but it's on the thicker side, a bit heavier than expected and definitely oversized. Must size down! I usually wear a size small in FP (5'4", 130 lbs, 34B) but I had to go with the XS and it's still bigger and bulkier than I'd prefer. The studio shots look like they were taken with a different top, as the fit appears slimming and fitted around the waist with a slight flare at the hips. In reality, it almost fits like a baby doll top and is longer than what is shown in the studio shots. I'm giving it four stars because I really like the lace insets at the shoulders and center bib and the layers. Very romantic top. 8.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by birdmom Love it! I loved this top so much after trying it on that I bought it in two colors - ivory and black. I just couldn't make up my mind. I had no trouble getting my head through the neck hole, and love the way it hugs through the bustline and then gently flairs out. The layers are light and gauzy, and the overall fit is extremely flattering. A feminine look for a warm summer evening or day. 7.22.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by elizabita09 Not what I expected I have been obsessed with this top ever since I saw it on the website. I went to my local FP and tried it on and it was not at all what I expected it to be. This top does not fit anything like it looks on the model. It was way too baggy and unflattering. I tried on both the M and S, and despite the body being huge, I could barely fit my head through either of the neckhole openings. This was going to be my first FP purchase, and sadly I did not purchase this top. 7.6.2013

One summer day in 1994 I stumbled upon a band that left my eyes wide open and my jaw on the floor. 18 years later they still continue to amaze me and help me through my journey. Korn in my eyes are the most amazing group of musicians in the history of music. My dream is to meet the band, i have met feidy in 2006 at Family values in Pittsburgh PA. in 2010 at mayhem fest in Pittsburgh, i was almost through the meet and greet line to finally shake the hand of JD, but fell short of time..
Any Fans in or near Pittsburgh going to the show on june 19th At Stage AE?? Would love to meet, bullshit and pregame before the show. Would be cool to meet other kick ass fans from the site and party.

25 Top Fixes for Your Mustang
How To Repair the Most Common Mustang Ailments
Ah, the joys of Mustang ownership. Sometimes, the Mustang is a ride we love to hate. We fuss about the things that bug us. And we look at these American icons with the kind of rush of emotion associated with a best friend we're having a spat with. Yet, year after year, show after show, we continue to drive them, show them, and pamper them. Call it a prestigious form of insanity. It's hard to believe we could limit this topic to just 25 vintage-Mustang problems, but we're going to show you some of the more common Mustang ailments and how to fix them.
1 Broken Seatbacks
If you own a '65-'69 Mustang with low-back bucket seats, you've probably dealt with this one. The problem of broken seatbacks applies mostly to '68-'69 Mustangs, where the pivot pin fails and you wind up in the back seat. Not only is it embarrassing, it's unsafe. More common with '68-'69 Mustangs, it also happens with '65-'67 models, and with the same result. We just have to address the fix differently. The '65-'67 seatback tends to fail two ways. One is pivot-pin failure. Another is failure of the adjustable seatback stop in the seatback, causing it to fall back into the rear seat. In 1980, Ford issued a recall on '68-'69 Mustang and Cougar seatback failure. Ford dealers were issued two seatback repair kits, D7ZZ-69618C46-A and D7ZZ-69618C47-A for left and right bucket seats. These repair kits are a simple bolt-on fix for '68-'69 Mustang bucket seats. They are available from Mustangs Etc., Dept. MM, 14843 Bessemer St., Van Nuys, CA 91411, 818/787-7634, www.mustangsetc.com. Kit availability is subject to change because they are N.O.S. (new old stock).
2 Leaking Cowl Vents
One of the Mustang's greatest shortcomings from '65-'70 is leaking cowl vents. Because the cowl-vent assemblies (called the balloon assembly) were never protected from corrosion, they started leaking almost immediately. In fact, there was a factory Technical Service Bulletin issued in 1965 for this problem. The factory fix was little more than liberal doses of body sealer around the cowl-vent dam on both sides--merely a bandage on an infection. If your Mustang's cowl vent is leaking water into the interior, you have a few solutions. One involves splitting the cowl and repairing the leak, which means drilling out a couple hundred spot welds. Not an easy task, but necessary. Another solution, depending on the condition of your cowl, is to install cowl-vent repair "hats" to keep the rain and wash water at bay. These kits are available from California Mustang, Dept. MM, 19400 San Jose Ave., City of Industry, CA 91748, 800/775-0101, www.cal-mustang.com. For a more detailed look at cowl-vent repairs, see the Sept. '03 issue of Mustang Monthly.
3 Sticking Seat Tracks
These days, Vintage Mustang seats suffer from old age. When it's time to adjust them, they stick, hang up, and provide us with a lot of frustration. But it doesn't have to be this way. Crawl underneath the car and remove the seat bolts. Yank out the seats and carefully remove the seat return springs, protecting your eyes and face. Take a large No. 3 Phillips screwdriver and remove the seat tracks from the seats. Clean the seat tracks in diesel fuel or a suitable solvent with a stiff-bristle brush. Then wash them thoroughly with soap and water. Spray the tracks with WD-40 lubricant and give them a gentle dose of white lithium grease on their contact surfaces. When you reinstall the seat tracks, move both sides to the same position--either all the way forward or all the way back. Lock both tracks, then reinstall the return springs before reinstalling the seats.
4 Slow Window Regulators
Mustang window regulators weren't superior quality to begin with. In fact, the Mustang's windows are as legendary as the nameplate because everyone remembers trying to roll them up quickly--unsuccessfully--in sudden rainstorms. Mustang windows don't roll up or down for the same reasons seats don't slide forward or backward. Dirty tracks and rollers slow them down. Binding window glass slows them down. Stripped-out window regulators slow them down and stop them from working entirely. When cleaning doesn't work, order a new set of window regulators from Year One, Dept. MM, P.O. Box 521, Braselton, GA 30517, 800/932-7663, www.yearone.com.
5 Stubborn Door Locks
Door locks quit for the same reasons seats don't slide and windows don't roll up or down. They get dirty and wear out. We forget these cars were designed to live happily for five to seven years at best. The darned thing is worn out ... or is it? Despite the short expected lifespan of our Mustangs 40 years ago, they've held up decidedly well, including stubborn door locks. Disassemble your door-latch mechanisms and wash them thoroughly in solvent. Then treat them to liberal doses of white grease and WD-40 around the moving parts. When they're reinstalled and working, you will be amazed at the result. While you're at it, install new door-lock buttons and grommets for smooth operation.

Heisman hysteria: Unusual favorites create voting conundrums
Posted on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 8:46 PM
Author: Alec Italiano (managing editor)
It could be a first for a Heisman winner this year, at least if freshman Johnny Manziel, quarterback for Texas A&M, takes home the trophy. He has thrown for 3,419 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions with a 68.3 percent completion rate. He has rushed for 1,181 yards with 19 touchdowns.
He also shattered Cam Newton's record for single-season total yardage in the SEC. Newton won the Heisman just two years ago on those accolades.
It would be the first time in history a freshman would take the coveted prize. The perceived runner-up is linebacker Manti Te'o from Notre Dame, who would be only the second defensive player to win (Charles Woodson from Michigan edged out Peyton Manning to win it in 1997, but he also returned punts and was the occasional wide receiver). Te'o has seven interceptions this season and secured his third straight 100-tackle season after getting five in the win against USC last weekend.
The other two quarterbacks in the conversation are Collin Klein (Kansas State) and Braxton Miller (Ohio State). Both have impressive stats as Klein has 34 touchdowns (20 rushing) and 3,093 combined yards (787 rushing) and Miller has 27 touchdowns (13 rushing) and 3,310 combined yards (1,271 rushing). On normal years, the conversation would be filled with passionate debates over these two men on who deserves the title most. This year, however, "Johnny Football" (as the media has dubbed him) has taken the stage.
Wide receiver Marqise Lee from USC has also been thrown into the Heisman mix. His season is highlighted by a 345 yard, two touchdown outing against Arizona (where USC actually lost, 39-36). After that game he was a frontrunner for the award, but when his quarterback Matt Barkley was sidelined with a shoulder injury for the last game of the season (often an important one for Heisman candidates) he only caught five passes for 75 yards from redshirt freshman Max Wittek.
All things considered, it would almost seem that "Johnny Football" has this whole competition locked up. He had an outstanding season that actually started with a 20-17 loss to Florida, but other than a loss to LSU at home, won every other game this season. His resume is highlighted by a 29-24 win at Alabama where he went 24-31, two touchdowns, zero interceptions and tacked on an extra 92 yards on the ground.
There is one major threat to Manziel's Heisman chances, though. As ESPN's Brent Musburger said during the Notre Dame - USC telecast, "There are some voters who will not, under any circumstances, vote for a freshman." This is done usually because young players will have later years to prove themselves, but in this historic season for Manziel, the traditionalists may have to change their vote.
This year's Heisman announcement will be Saturday Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. being televised live from The Best Buy Theater in Times Square.

1963 Ford Galaxie Fastback - Fast Forward!
Greg Cook's '63 1/2 Galaxie Fastback Was An Integral Part Of Ford's Most Successful Image Transformation Ever
Before you is a solid reminder of Ford's Total Performance campaign with a twist. This is Greg Cook's '63 1/2 Galaxie 500 fastback-originally a 390ci big-block factory ride assembled at Ford's Norfolk, Virginia assembly plant-super cool, smooth, quiet full-size transportation for anything from a single guy to a growing family. The '63 1/2 Galaxie fastback was a refreshing sight for anyone thinking about a big Ford that spring. Notchback Galaxies were still available and good-looking in their own right. But the fastback was a dreamy metaphor for letting your hair down underneath a huge backlite between elongated quarter-panels. That's just the way it was done in 1963.
With the midyear Galaxie fastback also came a 427ci FE-series big-block with plenty of bore and short, high-rpm stroke. It was a 7,000-rpm screamer that started making real power around six grand. We're afraid Greg's Galaxie isn't one of those R-code monsters ready to go racing. It was more a freeway cruiser ready for a weekend getaway and Monday morning commute. Thousands of them did this for many years before retirement to salvage yards, barns, and backyards. When Greg found his Galaxie, it was that mild 390 stocker we were talking about earlier-a terrific platform on which to build nasty street/strip power.
When Greg set out to build his Galaxie, he wasn't thinking about FE big-block power because it didn't make economic sense for him. It costs a whole lot more to build an FE stroker than it does a 429/460-based 385-series fat-block. Greg's plan was to crack a 10-second e.t. on the 1,320 with this thing. Excuse us? This is a 4,500-pound automobile. Ten seconds at well in excess of 135 mph? That takes a mind-bending amount of torque-then horsepower as vehicle speed increases-to crack this kind of elapsed time. What does it take to get there aside from a lot of power, just the right gearing, and driving skill? What's more-Greg wanted something he could legally register and drive on the street without getting into trouble. He didn't stop there with his goals, either. He wanted a trophy-winning battlewagon dressed to impress. It does.
So how did Greg achieve all these things without losing anything? It takes a lot of car-building savvy to build a big Ford that can do just about everything all at the same time, and do it well. He was asking his Ford to do a lot, and with older technology.
Because Greg calls Gettysburg Pennsylvania, home, it puts him within spittin' distance of just about every automotive event you can think of for hundreds of miles. If he wants to visit the New England Dragway deep in the Northeast or Englishtown in New Jersey for a weekend of drag racing he can. In the middle of hot August heat and humidity, Detroit's Woodward Dream Cruise beckons, and Greg goes just to cruise Woodward. He can haul his slippery fastback Galaxie to drag racing events, go racing, and crack a 9.89 at 135 mph. Sound absurd? Greg tells us he's done it several times. He also reminds us he has taken the car to the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals and come home to neighboring Gettysburg with a trophy. That means it goes, shows, and wins just about every way imaginable.
So how does anyone blast through the traps at over 130 mph and hit the streets to do a little cruising? For one thing, Greg did most of the work himself, which means he has a special intimacy with the car that no one else has. He started with a '71 vintage {{{Lincoln}}} 460 block and punched it 0.080-inch oversize. We are the first to admit this makes us nervous. Eighty over in a stock block, but Greg managed to pull it off. We will call this one pure luck, and perhaps a sonic-checked block.
Greg went with a Scat 4.500-inch stroker crank in 4340 steel, Eagle H-beam rods (big 6.800-inch Chevy rods), JE 13.5:1 custom pistons, Childs & Albert rings, a Comp Cams roller hydraulic bumpstick with a lot of lift, aluminum Cobra Jet heads ported right in Greg's own shop, a Victor Jr. manifold, a 1,050-cfm Dominator, and more.
Would you believe Greg channels the poop through a custom-built Performance Automatic C4? He does. The C4 is generally accepted as a small-block automatic transmission, however, it makes a terrific racing automatic because there's less mass to spin inside. This means more power available to propel a classic Galaxie. An N-case Ford with 4.30 Detroit Locker gears and 31-spline axles do the rest.
Greg likes that people think this is a 12-second street/strip drag car. He enjoys watching their eyes when he produces timeslips of under 10 seconds at over 130 mph. He has exceeded expectations by infusing a lot of displacement into old Lincoln iron. This is not only 557ci, it is also all about how Greg has configured bore and stroke. These are big bores at nearly 4 1/2 inches. Coupled with a 411/42-inch stroke and long big-block Chevy rods, there's plenty of mechanical advantage going on here. Deep lungfuls of displacement along with plenty of dwell time at each end of the bores is where power is born. This gives Greg a huge air/fuel charge, and brute leverage that come with stroke. Because he doesn't have to turn the heavy, cumbersome guts of a C6 or Turbo 400 transmission, this frees up a lot of power to shave a second or two off those e.t.'s.
Because we were at the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals when we shot this Galaxie, Greg never had a chance to show us the car's 1,320 performance. But we love this Galaxie's Total Performance demeanor-like it just rolled off a trailer from a '63-'64 NHRA Super Stock event long ago. On the surface, it's so retro with its teardrop fiberglass hood and slippery roofline. And because it's clad in a factory color, Greg hasn't deviated from the original persona that makes these super-long Galaxies so terrific.

Ball Screw Repair
When your ball screw is worn, the ball grooves are not perfectly round any more. Putting in new balls (perfect spheres) into a worn ball groove isn't going to be a long term solution to your problem. The new balls will start to wear out unevenly and cause your screw more damage the next time it fails. Re-balling a screw is just a temporary fix that is only good for a few months.
We grind the ball grooves of your screw to a T.I.R. of +/- .0002 per linear foot. We then grind the ball grooves on your nut to the same diameter (+/- .0002). Precision ground & lapped balls are installed. Screw, nut & balls are lapped together at high speed for 30 to 45 minutes. This will insure that the proper load is evenly distributed throughout the entire length of your screw. This is how a new ball screw is manufactured & tested. This is how it is rebuilt by Mitchell Precision. This is why we are the only company offering a three year in use warranty on all ball screw repair projects.
Precision ball screw repair backed by our industry leading 36 month warranty! Your ball screw will perform like new for three years, guaranteed. When we repair your ball screw we're returning it to original manufacturers specifications & tolerances. We're capable of holding .0001" per linear foot lead accuracy. We can also grind, chrome plate & grind your bearing ends if they're worn and even repair the journal if it's broken off.
All rebuild shops are NOT the same. Simply "re-balling" a screw will work for a few months. If you want your ball screw to last a few years, then you need to do a complete rebuild with Mitchell Precision as follows:
- 1: Check the load of the nut throughout the entire length of the screw locating any trouble spots
- 2: Complete disassembly of the screw, nut & returns to prep with steam cleaning for inspection
- 3: Check & record ball groove depth on both screw & nut. Record ball size. Prep for grinding.
- 4: Inspect all return tubes, return mechanisms, wipers, brushes and repair/replace as needed
- 5: Thread grind (ball grooves) your screw end to end until a TIR of .0002" (per foot) is reached
- 6: ID grind the nut to the same diameter ball grooves within +/- .0002 over entire length of nut
- 7: Precision grind & lap balls to size matching the newly ground ball grooves on your screw & nut
- 8: Assemble all parts with lapping compound and run the screw at high speed for 30/45 minutes
- 9: If there are any tight spots or trouble areas, we start again at line #4
- 10: Disassemble screw & nut for cleaning / inspection and make adjustments as needed
- 11: Final assembly to original preload, complete inspection, testing & crating
- 12: If bearing surfaces or journals are damaged, we can OD grind & chrome back to OEM specs
The end result is a completely remanufactured ball screw that will last years instead of months. We completely remanufacture your ball screw, not just reload it. If other companies offered the same level of service, they'd offer the same warranty.

Should Twins offer Wilson Ramos for Cliff Lee?
Jun 17, 2010, 6:30 PM EDT
If the Twins want a second ace left-hander for the postseason, that's probably what it will take. Cliff Lee went 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA for the Phillies last October. The team won all five of his postseason starts, with Lee pitching 40 1/3 of a possible 45 innings in those games. His addition to a rotation featuring Francisco Liriano, Scott Baker and one from a group of Carl Pavano, Nick Blackburn and Kevin Slowey would transform the Twins from likely ALDS victim into a legitimate threat to win the World Series.
And the Twins could get him for a player who has no obvious role in the team's future plans.
Now, Wilson Ramos does appear to be a special talent. And the Twins could find a way to incorporate him in 2011 and beyond if they wanted to. But it's doubtful he'd be anywhere near as valuable elsewhere on the field as he is behind the plate. For what it's worth, while he was impressive in his brief stint replacing Joe Mauer earlier this year, he's hitting just .229/.262/.346 with a 33/7 K/BB ratio in 179 at-bats for Triple-A Rochester. He seems to have turned things around recently — he's batting .339 in June — but he's not in the same league with, say, Carlos Santana as an offensive prospect.
The 22-year-old Ramos shines more brightly on defense. He should contend for Gold Gloves someday, and with his ability to hit for average, it'd be no surprise to see him serving as Mauer's backup on All-Star teams a few years down the line.
Still, Ramos' greatest value to the Twins is likely as a trade chip. But is it worth parting with his next 6 1/2 seasons in return for a half-season of Lee?
I think it is. The Twins would have very little chance of keeping Lee as a free agent, but they'd be in line for a first-round pick and a supplemental first-rounder after he departs. That's a big key here. It's why the Mariners won't part with Lee cheaply even if they end July with no chance of headed to the postseason.
Barring a big turnaround over the next several weeks, Seattle, though, should be willing to let him go for Ramos and a lesser pitching prospect. Adam Moore is a solid young catcher, but he might be more of a long-term backup than a regular. The Mariners lack young talent on offense. Ramos isn't the long-term cleanup man they need, but as sort of a right-handed-hitting version of A.J. Pierzynski, he'd soon be an upgrade in the sixth or seventh spot in the lineup.
The Mariners might shoot for more and try to come up with someone who could put up big numbers immediately. Or perhaps they'll aim for the Yankees' Jesus Montero, who could well be a cleanup hitter but who figures to accomplish it as a first baseman, rather than as a catcher. I think Ramos is likely as good as they're going to do. He can contribute right away, and he'll be useful even if he doesn't hit during his first couple of seasons.

If Mauer is locked in to catcher for next 5 years i would definetly flip ramos for a piece in a post season run. But.. a bat like mauers does not come along often and extra seasons and effectiveness can be added if he swaps positions or dhs which is why ramos hasnt been moved.

Mauer's eventual position change will take at least 5 more years..dump Ramos
- dynamo9 - Jun 18, 2010 at 10:13 AM
Twins still have Jose Morales as a catching prospect too, and Butera is Mauer's current back-up… Both of them are young guys and though neither has the upside of Ramos remember that it's the backup to the reigning AL MVP, who is only 27 years old.

Makurdi — The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has indicated interest to partner Benue women on its newly launched acquisition scheme which provides platform to harness skills and engage talents for collective development.
Director-General of NOA, Mike Omeri, said the scheme christened Citizens Responsibility Volunteer Scheme (CRVS) would harness the skills and energies of young women and men for the benefit of their communities.
Omeri, who made the disclosure in Makurdi at the sixth edition of "Celebrate the Benue Woman", also called on the governor's wife, Mrs. Yemisi Suswam, to invest in the programme for the development of the younger generation.
According to him, the initiative is meant to expose young people to the gains of farming, especially the mechanized farming, which would involve participants to stay within a regimented environment for a period of time.
He said the experiences gained from such process would help to develop the society positively by way of encouraging community efforts and individual contributions.

As an English teacher from New Zealand I would like to say thank you for such innovative and helpful ideas in the area of learning and preparing to learn. An excellent resource which I'm sure will assist my students (high school level). 12/10/99
A well layed out site with good facilities to help and educate all types of problems 11/25/99 from England..
Thank you for having this on the internet. I am a disabled student a a local university. 12/17/99
Tes pages sont tr? bien faites il n'y a pas beaucoup de fautes, de plus moi comme la majorit? des francophones avons comme lacune l'orthographe fran?ise (ce n'est pas une langue facile...) . Je doit avou?que mon talons d'Achille est mon orthographe , ainsi que la grammaire; Dieu merci j'ai un correcteur d'orthographe sur mon traitement de texte. Tes textes sont compr?ensibles et c'est cela e plus important . 12/1/99 from Belgium
I am very impressed with your website which gives a lot of info to students on learning methods and skills. What I wanted to emphasize is are there any info that you can provide us on case studies i.e. as a student of strategic management or post graduate students, case studies is a very important thing for us to link to the real business world when writing essays. 12/10/99 (Yes, the millenium page!)
I thought your site was very easy to follow. The format was user friendly and covered a lot of important requirements. 11/03/9
Just visited (Study Guides) Excellent work! 11/14/99
I just came across your web site and was very impressed by the scope and clarity of your materials. I would like your permission to use information in your web development presentation for staff development courses that I do for teachers and librarians. 10/30/99
"Study Guides for testing, reading, writing, and classroom participation" was quite helpful to me, even as a 6th grade student. I read through each and every section, followed all of the links, and got some magnificent ideas. Thanks so much! 10/11/99
Congratulations! I think you're on to something important here. Students, including myself (:-) do cram - and a systematic approach will clearly provide the best results. Check out also David Ellis' "How to cram, even though you shouldn't" in Becoming a Master Student. My students always seem to get a kick that cramming is even acknowledged. like they invented it! 10/15/99
I LOVED these test-taking strategies. Who doesn't want to become a better test-taker? As I think I talked about before, I think that the "confer with other students" suggestion is especially helpful. Sometimes when you're talking to others in your class, you see things in ways that you've never seen them before. (And also, one of your classmates may know someone who has had the class before and has given them helpful hints that they can pass on to you!) 10/18/99
Interesting web site on test preparation. Thanks for sharing. I have no comments for improvement to offer. 10/19/99
This is a very good web site. Thank you for providing. 10/15/99
Your SQ3R page is the best one I've found so far--that's why I linked to it from my Reading 90 online class. I just wanted to say that your site is excellent, and that it really made my day to come across it... I am going to recommend your site to all that I know and refer to it often. Keep up the great work!! 10/7/99
Thank you for developing this site. I am a second time around college student. It is very helpful. I just added your site to my "favorite places" list. 9/27/99
Thank you for this great site. My son is a fifteen year old high school sophomore who has never developed note taking or study skills. He always managed to do very well up until this point. I'm sure that the strategies you outline will be of great service to him. I have also initiated the help of a very successful senior who is on the football team with him to help him set some goals and using your strategies I'm confident he will reach them. I think that these skills should be taught in high school because there are so many children like my son who never had to work so they never developed them. They are our "underachievers". We have given him two weeks to adjust his focus, and starter or not we will take him off the football team. I'm quite sure he won't allow this to happen. 9/30/99
Thank you for the wonderful advice. 10/5/99
This web site is a teacher's dream! Thank you for all of your hard work! 10/3/99
(I am a) elementary gifted instructor (in Pennsylvania), and I was wondering if I could obtain an official "OK" from you to utilize your site in our gifted program. I need to teach study skills and was extremely impressed with the information available at your site. 9/21/99 (Yes)
I visited your site looking for help for my less-than-studious granddaughter, and noticed you have not visited Texas. When you do, as with other places, be sure you learn the language first! Your site is well done and quite informative. 9/20/99
Family Fun Magazine, September 1999: The group of Study Guides hosted by the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, is even more comprehensive. It covers goal-setting, managing stress, paying attention, memorization techniques and more. Although it is written for college students, parents can easily adapt the guidelines here for children of any age.
As the parent of a struggling 8th grader, I appreciate your website. I'm so happy to find information to help my student. Thank you for your time and effort. I feel it will truly help us. 9/14/99
A very informative site. Thank you. 9/13/99
The study skills information you provide is excellent and I would like to ask permission to use some of it. I work at (a Community High School in Indiana). I have been asked to assist some students in improving their study skills. Educators advise students to study, making the assumption the student has the talent naturally. Unfortunately, study skills (for most students) need to be taught and practiced just like other skills. 8/27/99
I was looking through the Study Guides and things that you have done with them. Sounds like you are doing work for Moscow State.... That is so cool!!!... I will talk to a local (U.S.) Russian magazine about doing an article for the local community about the site and the partnership that you have created with Moscow State. 8/27/99
I teach a middle school reading strategies class. I am also a reading teacher. This is a wonderful resource. A million thanks to you ! 9/13/99
I've been looking through various sites today, particularly for information for my 11th grade students at the secondary college I teach at in Brisbane, Australia. Your site came up, and I found it extremely interesting. I was wondering if, it is at all possible, I could use some of your information in collating some resource material for my "LIFE SKILLS" classes for next year???? 8/27/99 yes!
From Uppsala University: I am most impressed by your web sites about study habits! 9/9/99
WOW!! As a mentor teacher, I have been perusing the web for resources to help all those involved in the learning process. This Site is PACKED with helpful and well organized information. I would like to share some of the contents with new teachers. May I have permission to focus on portions of this site, making reference to authors and site? Thank You. 8/12/99 YES!
YAY!! How delightful to find such a comprehensive and helpful site. I teach at both a technical college and a county jail. Thank you for presenting such great information in such an easy to access format. Your site is the best example of one stop shopping I can think of! : ) 8/16/99
Thank you for the thoughtfulness and thoroughness of your web site. I have been teaching test preparation courses and incorporating test prep into the classes I teach both in college and high school for 15 years, and yet when I needed to put together a presentation for a group of teachers, I found your site most helpful. It incorporated the best tips I have learned along the way in an easy-to-use and comprehensive format. 6/9/99
I am very impressed with your site, both in terms of content and format. I particularly like the WebTruth area. 6/9/99
I work at (a Hispanic Serving Institution). I would like to thank you for this wonderful web site. I have found it very useful in working with young high school students who are in (a health careers program). I teach the academic skills component and have used much of the information found in the web site as well as the links. You have done a great job! Thank you! 6/15/99
Just came across your wonderful sight. What a help it has been to me in my English Lesson. I hope to use it many times in the future. 7/12/99
I came across your site while doing a little bit of research on websites that would be interesting for youth and young adults. I think it's great. 6/23/99
We are a group of teachers in a high school learning community who were asked to prepare and implement a unit on study skills for the coming school year. We visited the professional library and found many good books on the subject, but nothing immediately useful in the classroom. When we found your site, we knew we'd hit pay dirt! 7/2/99
I ran across a link to your study guides on a general chemistry page elsewhere on the web and found some of them particularly useful. I would like to encourage my students to read through them. 6/28/99
Throughout this last year I have been planning my final project. The topic I am very interested in is teaching young students good study skills. This summer I plan to concentrate my efforts on the completion of this capstone final project. I have done research on this topic through the internet thus far. When I came upon your site I was thrilled! 6/24/99
Our state organization
Adult/Community Education of Florida is working with
the Florida Department of Education the develop a
new GED WEB site. We would like to use some of your
material in our new site . Can you give us
Wow EXCELLENT WEBSITE 714/99
The Open Directory Project's goal is to produce the
most comprehensive directory of the web, by relying
a vast army of volunteer editors. Top rated as a " Thoughtfully constructed study guide..."
We would like to include links to your webpages on our schools' (K-12) websites. Thank you for the hard work you have done to provide such an excellent resource. 5/2/99
I want to thank you for preparing such a wonderful tool! I have just been thrown into a Middle/High School Study Skills class and was at a loss as to where to begin. Someone told me about your site, and it has been such a huge help to me! Thanks again! 6/23/99
I am an instructional design doctoral student.... Starting this summer, the Instructional Design program will implement a new on-line graduate course entitled, Instructional and Learning Strategies. We are looking for web resources to supplement this course and believe that your web page would make an invaluable contribution. 4/23/99
I just wanted to write you this memo to say a job well done in putting together the Study Guides and Strategies Web site. I will be directing people to your site. 4/7/99
Excellent job! It must have taken a lot of work and I'm glad you took the initiative of making the resources available on the net. 2/7/96
This is a wonderful site. As a facilitator of a student success course for first year students and a study strategies course for students on academic probation--this site is a real gold mine. I look forward to the time when I can contribute to this site. :-) 1/16/99
American Library Association, CHOICE (publication) FEB '99: ...offers information to help students be more effective both in and out of the classroom. The site starts with a well-organized table of topics and subtopics. For example, Study Preparation gives tips on time management, organization, and stress; In the Classroom gives advice about preparing for classes, taking notes, and participating in oral discussions and presentations; and Testing Skills talks about test taking, preparation, and questions on tests. Writing Skills may be the weakest topic, since it focuses on finished products rather than on helping students with writing process itself; organizing Term Papers, for example shows the basic note card style but omits the important steps for selection topics, prewriting, drafting and revising. The section Reading Skills however, offers information on enhancing reading comprehension and on mastering difficult texts. Most impressive about this site is that most of the material resides at the site itself, though off-page links lead to sites devoted to grammar, written languages, dictionaries, reading , using primary versus secondary sources, designing syllabi, and study strategies and skills. The site compares favorable to others on study skills...
Those who nominated your site, did so from their "heart", because in some way you have made a lasting impression on them 11/12/ 98
As a college student, it is helpful to see web sites that can help with this sort of problem. I hope it is recognized as a true disability in the near future to help those of us who know the material, just blank out when tested on it. Thanks for the tips..
Wow! I like your site. It offers an excellent collection of study strategies for students in several languages. As a director of the writing center--where we emphasize study skills in reading and writing--I would like to make your materials available to (my) students. Can I have your permission to create a link...? YES!
"Studyguides shows what Web can be" by James Romanesko, St. Paul Pioneer Press/Dispatch Studyguides is a no-nonsense site that doesn't try to make homework seem cool with the use of funky graphics or groovy fonts. It's all-text and serious, but very practical. 8/3/98
I was searching for one basic answer to a question and found a bevy of info. Bless you and thank you for maintaining such a valuable resource! I've bookmarked this site and will refer to it constantly over my college career! 12/7/98
I am a Special Education teacher in
Anchorage, Alaska. I just wanted to tell you that I
really enjoy your web site. Actually I've added your
link to my web site. My students find your site to
be one of the best we've found for study skills!
Your site--Study Guides and Strategies--has been chosen as a selection for the Scout Report, the premier weekly collection of useful Internet sites for discerning Internauts. September 4, 1998
I found your site via the Scout Report. It has some fantastic tips and hints that I would very much like to share with my students (Secondary - ages 12 to18) and colleagues here in (Australia). We have an intranet at our school and I was wondering if you would mind if I "whacked" it? Thanks once again for a very useful site. 12/9/98
This is the best study guide info on the Internet! 02/26/99
You have a great website. I am going to reorganize my (website) organization after looking at your site. 11/26/98
"Information Technology Resources", by Bianca P Floyd, Chronicle of Higher Education, Vol XLV, October 30, 1998: A website that offers tips for improving academic performance...
I pulled your address from The Chronicle of Higher Education and will definitely make sure my students (freshmen in history surveys) have access to and use the information next semester. Concise and informative.
I looked up your website and was thoroughly impressed with the comprehensiveness of the site. Anyone interested in using the Internet for a study skills course could use your site without having the students buy textbooks. I could easily see the material you provide used as a stimulus for journal writing and class room activities that would reinforce the recommendations you make. I can also see the value of a comparative study assignment for students to compare the value of the different study skills sites that you link to.
USA Today Tech Web Resources School Prep: Get the most out of school this year with the help of Study Guides and Strategies from the University of St. Thomas at St. Paul, Minn. How-to lessons range from stress management and taking notes to test prep and writing skills. With links to other online resources.
I am a junior in high school. I located your material on the www and I thought is would help me become a better student. Thanks for all the good tips
Moser, APICS Online (The Educational Society for Resource Management): In addition to sound advice in six general areas, the site features numerous reference and link to a wide range of resources from other universities November 1998
I am so thankful for the most helpful links and other information you have provided. I am sort of the URL-man on campus, so I was delighted with the info and will pass it along to my colleagues
Your (website) is truly a work of art. Chocked full of information, which is readable and useable.
I would like to thank you for organizing all of this information into such a helpful piece of work. 3/29/99
I am working with a committee of high school teachers trying to come up with ideas and ways to decrease the dropout rate at our school. one of the areas we are looking at is providing study skill instruction for ninth graders over our intraschool t v network. I found a great wealth of information to include in our presentation. thank you for your help. 3/24/99
I want to cheer! St. Thomas website source is very helpful and easy to access. I thank you for the computering persons who do this job!
I teach study skills to 5th and 6th graders and have found your site very helpful even though the language must be simplified to their level.
I looked up your website and was thoroughly impressed with the comprehensiveness of the site. Anyone interested in using the Internet for a study skills course could use your site without having the students buy textbooks.

I can also see the value of a comparative study assignment for students to compare the value of the different study skills sites that you link to. 9 Dec 1998
I think that your website is the most complete site I have seen. 11/26/98
I am not in college -- now retired -- but I wish I had your studyguides when I was in college. the (writing) pages were extremely enlightening and clarified the process for me thanx for the help and info it really helped with my STS tests I had to take!!! thanx again!
I have been trying to explain to my students for 36 years the benefits of the kinds of preparation that you advocate. I am encouraging my students to use your site. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the info. (on the Cornell Note taking method)! Why can't you summarize the advanced system?
I just happened across your web page and thought I'd send my two cents worth...Bravo!
sometimes the way a former teacher has treated you during test will stay with you well into your college and even professional career, and you will never think that what happened to you back in pre-kingergarden will stay with you 12/10/98
Thanks for the information re test anxiety, test-taking skills, etc. I'm a school counselor and will give it to some of my students 12/10/98
I really have to congratulate and in fact thank you for holding the tradition of free info on the net alive and publishing a document of such immeasurable importance thank you
I love this web site. It gives me a lot of confidence and made me feel as if I hadn't studied in vain! Thanks a lot!
I think your study guide website is excellent. I will be sending my students to your site to gather information! Thanks.
WOW, Great - so much better than the ... site!
May I link to (Study Guides) for a personal Web page that I have designed for my library instruction students? ... Thanks for sharing.
This is a great web site! I am going to put a link to it..
What a wonderful resource!!
I think this website is very useful. For one of my classes I had to write a paper on note taking tips as well as group dynamics. This information made writing the paper much easier. Thank you. 2/15/99
I am helping a student with writing this summer. Your ideas are very much appreciated.
I am writing to ask permission to link to Study Guides from my website. I am having my high school Health students do a project in which the information on your site is very useful. 3/24/99
May I share your website with the faculty here ...? Can they share the resource with students? Great job!!
I visited your website today and I wanted you to know...it helps!
Thank you (from Cairo).
I would like to laud and thank you for your pages. I find them to be really helpful and I feel a lot more prepared for this coming semester due to the intelligent suggestions and advice provided at your site. 1/16/97
I am a "non traditional age" student (55) who has long forgotten how to study and take tests, etc. I really enjoyed your information and would like to print it out and put it in my binder to jog me into good habits when I get off track. I will share it with the rest of my class, all older students re-entering school to attempt to finish.
We are trying to give our (middle school) students an opportunity to utilize the Internet as a research tool...I found your web pages while researching for sources our students could use while they are studying their current units. You have compiled a wonderful source of information and I would very much like our students to be able to learn from your work.
Just stumbled onto your study page. Good job! I am the Director of Technology Services for a K-12 School District in Arizona....
I have a problem with writing essay. I need some help I would appreciate it if you would help me learn how to write an essay. I' trying to get my GED. So please write back.
I am also doing graduate work in ... and find your site to be a nice compilation of tech resources I use or want to use in the incorporation of tech in my teaching. One more thing, I am presenting my set of strategies at ... I am going to plug your site as "the best one I've seen".
I am writing in regards to the information on Test Taking that I found on the internet recently....we work with middle school students who are at-risk. (Our office) is wanting to produce a booklet (brochure) using the test taking information. This booklet (brochure) will be given to students who are in the program or any other middle school students who may benefit from this information. This information (we feel) is greatly needed and therefore would be of a great benefit to these students.
I am a special education director for a six school district cooperative in Texas. I am researching this topic for a principal and counselor in one of my districts. you have some good information here.
..I thought "Greg would find this interesting" and used the "send this page" feature in Navigator to email it to him. I underestimated his reaction. He was EXCITED! He crawls the web on a regular basis trying to find things of true value, so he's inclined to be jaded, but that wasn't his reaction to your pages. He knew in his gut he'd found a gem and told me so.
I think a link to it will be a very beneficial addition to the website I am developing
Thanks to you for organizing a nice set of information for students. I will be encouraging my graduate students to peruse it, especially the international ones who have such trouble their first few months here, figuring out the U.S. system
I finally got time to view your website. Very nice!!
