"The environment can be such a game changer."
It's a culture that has always been at VCSU for games against rivals like Jamestown College, but otherwise left a frequently quiet crowd.

A.R. Gurney, one of America's most prolific and widely produced playwrights, has won numerous awards for his portrayals of American life in such plays as "The Perfect Party," "Another Antigone," "The Cocktail Hour," "Love Letters," and "A Cheever Evening." FAR EAST, which was first written for the stage and later adapted for STAGE ON SCREEN, is his most personal work to date. "This happened, elements of this happened to me in the '50s," he says. After writing many plays informed by his family and his upbringing in Buffalo, New York, it required a distance of almost 50 years after his service in the Navy in Yokosuka, where most of the play is set, until Gurney was able to begin writing the play. "It was a major story in my life. I never could tell that story until 1999," he says. The play, which premiered under Daniel Sullivan's direction at Williamstown Theatre Festival and subsequently in an extended run at Lincoln Center Theater, borrowed devices from traditional Japanese theater, which Gurney had first seen on his tour of duty in Japan. The formal theatricality of the presentation kept the material at a safe distance in the theater, but in adapting the play for television, Gurney admits, that he felt his story might become more exposed -- and ultimately more personal. "So suddenly I thought: 'Uh-oh, my story which I've so carefully masked with bunraku techniques is going to be out there naked and shivering.'"
On one level, FAR EAST is a traditional coming-of-age story, with echoes of "Madame Butterfly," but Gurney is also exploring the collision of two cultures and the coming-of-age of the United States during the Cold War. In many of the scenes, the Japanese, who are often seen in subservient roles, are silent witnesses to the folly and arrogance of the Americans. Gurney and director Daniel Sullivan retain some of the theatricality of the stage production and create the sense that the story is being seen through the lens of the Japanese point of view, and, in particular, from the memory of Sachiko, Sparky's girlfriend. Taking his familiar characters out of their middle-class American environment, we see these Americans abroad grappling with the past and their expected roles in society.

When tracking defects, make efficiency the end goal
Tracking defects can benefit the development team if done for the right reasons. Explore the reasons to track defects in this expert response.
Do you think tracking preproduction defects is important? Why or why not? If not, what's the right thing to be...

looking at?
Tracking defects that occur in preproduction grants project managers some extra insight into the cost of creating extra overhead. Some software quality professionals will think, "Of course we have to track bugs!" Others will think, "If we can just have a conversation and fix it, there's no need for the overhead." I think the best path is to find the right middle ground between the two extremes.
I see two sub-questions that hold the key to answering the main question:
- Is the cost worth the overhead?
- If you aren't tracking defects now, would implementing this be at the top of your list of improvements?
Why track preproduction defects?
Here are a handful of reasons management might want to track defects:
- To compare performance of developers and testers;
- Provide insight into what is happening;
- Remember details and deferred bugs;
- Change the test strategy to adapt to risks in the code; and
- Eliminate waste by finding causes of defects and preventing them.
The first claim (which I am likely to reject) is comparing performance between individuals. The act of measuring bugs in this way will change performance for the worse. Testers who are measured by bug count will seek out the easy bugs to raise their count. Programmers who are punished for bugs will waste time arguing about what is a bug versus some other kind of problem.
Tracking defects to provide insight also seems suspicious. It allows management by spreadsheet. I would prefer that management get involved in the work.
If your team doesn't fix all the preproduction bugs, and customers care about them, then tracking bugs to remember those details might make sense. My preference is only to file a bug report if the issue is not fixed, but is deferred and still worth documenting.
The fourth idea is to change the test strategy to find the defects that are actually emerging. To do this, I would look at both preproduction and production defects along with our test approach to see what defects we are missing and what tests we could run to find them.
To find the problems in order to prevent them earlier and reduce wasted efforts, we need to know how much waste is involved upstream. Tracking preproduction defects provides a log that can be useful in making these post-project investigations.
Is this the right change right now?
One easy measure is the percentage of your time spent on rework -- reproducing bugs, explaining them, fixing and retesting -- prior to production. In an article on exploratory testing, Jon Bach called these "TBS Metrics," for time spent on testing, bugs and setup. Testing is essential and should be the largest part of time spent. Bugs and setup are essentially optional, and they create drag on the project.
If the team spends too much time on bugs and setup, then consider eliminating unnecessary work to speed up the process. Track the bugs, look for patterns and work to prevent the most expensive defects. If you aren't spending much time on the bugs, or find that they are all very different, then there won't be much chance to decrease work waste this way.
If your goal is to eliminate common problems, you might succeed in a few months and then stop tracking defects until the preventable waste becomes noticeable.
The middle way
Some teams separate new-feature work from final-release testing (which some might call "regression testing"). These teams try to fix all the bugs on features first and defer any defects found during release testing in order to coordinate the work. If there are a lot of release-testing defects, this is probably a real need, but feature-level bugs might not have to be tracked.
If you are feeling some pain from preproduction defects, or it seems like you are fixing the same category of bug over and over when it could be prevented, try tracking defects for a week or two. You could use a wiki or other lightweight tracker; see if you feel faster or slower. Likewise, if you are already tracking defects and don't see value in it, try not tracking them for a week or two.
If you feel slower, drop the change or consider a different one. If you feel faster, refine the change and try to go faster still. View these changes as an experiment, and let us know how it goes!

I will admit a style preference when it comes to Chianti and pizza: light and elegant. Give me an easy drinking wine and a pizza that hasn't been lily-gilded with too much stuff. But every once in a while I am impressed by a bit of lavishness when it comes to this food and wine classic duo. This was the case at a lunch I recently attended as a guest of Dreyfus, Ashby & Co, checking out a trio of Italian wine producers along with a new restaurant in Seattle, Stoneburner.
The Chianti we enjoyed, tucked behind the Barolo (more on that later) in the photo, was the 2010 Barone Ricasoli Brolio. Like all wines from this region of Tuscany, it's mostly Sangiovese. But it also contains a dollop of Merlot (15%) and a smidge of Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). Looking at my tasting notes, which, in my case, consist of random scribblings capturing real-time sensations, I see two comments: "Rich for a Chianti Classico" and "Sumptuous!"
Interestingly enough, the motto on the label of this Italian wine, found in the crest, is in French: "Rien Sans Peine". Apparently noble families in Italy spoke a lot of French. The phrase roughly translates to, in our modern English parlance, "No Pain/No Gain". Sounds much more elegant in the French language, but doesn't everything?
There was no pain in eating Stoneburner's pizza but there definitely was some (waist) gain. If a pizza with potatoes and morels wasn't rich enough, it was flourished tableside with fonduta (cheese fondue) delivered from a precious little pitcher. Certainly excellent with the brawny Chianti, but also fantastic with Barolo, a wine from Piedmont showcasing the Nebbiolo grape in its most famous form, by producer Renato Ratti.
This isn't the first time I've dabbled in pizza sumptuousness; check out this nettle pesto and guanciale beauty. Now excuse me while I make myself a nice, light salad with a delicate white wine to match.

ACKERMAN – The Ackerman High School football team could not find its offense, but found two big plays on special teams to ensure a win.
The Indians beat Choctaw County rival French Camp 14-3 Friday night to improve to 3-0 for the season at Dale Davidson Field.
The Ackerman offense struggled early on and fumbled the ball on its second play from scrimmage. It had four fumbles in the contest.
MABEN – The East Webster Wolverines proved to be too much for the Weir Lions as the Wolverines started their three-game home stretch with a 41-0 victory over the Lions Friday night.
East Webster improved its record to 3-0 for the season.
SENATOBIA – The Starkville Academy Volunteers couldn't get a 14-12 half-time lead to stand up and lost a 25-14 decision to Magnolia Heights School on Friday night.
Starkville Academy, which fell to 1-2, won the statistical battle, but it did not equal out to a victory on the scoreboard.
WINONA – The Eupora Eagles totaled 269 yards and beat Winona 22-13 Friday night.
Vandy Smith got Eupora going when he scored on a 54-yard run in the first quarter.
Justin Lewis connected from 34 yards to give Eupora a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.
The first two games of the football season have taken a toll on the Starkville Yellowjackets physically.
Not only did the Jackets not have their best offensive player, quarterback Gabe Myles, against Madison Central because of a sprained ankle, they lost their best defensive player, David Fair, during the game because of a knee injury.
The Starkville Academy football team is looking to sure up its offense this week against Magnolia Heights.
The Volunteers (1-1) and Chiefs (1-1) meet in Senatobia tonight for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
SA is coming off a 19-6 loss to rival Heritage Academy last week, while Magnolia Heights beat Kirk Academy 49-20 last week.
The Ackerman Indians host a Class A opponent tonight so the chances of them improving to 3-0 are pretty good.
Not when it comes to hosting cross-county rival French Camp at 7:30 p.m. as far as Ackerman football coach Adam Dillinger is concerned. The visiting Panthers have a 1-1 record.
The Starkville Academy Volunteers and Magnolia Heights School Chiefs come into Friday night's 7 p.m. game with similar resumes.
Both teams are 1-1, but the Chiefs are coming off a 49-20 victory over Kirk Academy, while the Volunteers suffered a 19-6 loss to Heritage.
SA took last year's game 22-0 in Starkville, but this year the Vols travel to Senatobia.
The weather has certainly played havoc with Southeastern Conference football teams trying to prepare for season-opening games and it caused the postponement of one of those outings.
The Texas A&M Aggies were hoping to get a jump on everyone else in the SEC with a game against Louisiana Tech in Shreveport, La., tonight (Thursday).
Young boys, who grow up playing football in the backyard, dream of being "the man" who leads the game winning drive, or throws the pass that stuns the crowd.
Tyler Russell officially becomes "the man" for Mississippi State as he leads the Bulldogs onto the field for the first time as the unquestioned leader of the team.

When she's a brunette, I can see that. But dyeing her hair blond made her look
Latina to me than she usually does, somehow. Maybe all I'm saying is that she didn't look natural as a blonde.
But like I said, my problem was more with Evans's lack of resemblance to Alba than the reverse. I resent the way everyone's trying to read some kind of ugly racism into my words, making the false assumption that it was Alba's ethnicity I had a problem with. All I'm saying is that to me, in that movie, Alba and Evans didn't
related. I'm not saying anything about what's possible in real life, because we're not talking about real life, we're talking about a work of fiction, and it's about impressions. As a rule, if you're casting siblings, you try to cast them to resemble each other. That's not a race thing, it's just a general casting thing. As I've said over and over, I would've been fine with recasting either Johnny or Sue, or both. It is not about Alba specifically the way the rest of you keep trying to make it. I'm sorry if I inadvertently reminded you of some issues that are troubling to you, but that wasn't my intention. Obviously I've miscommunicated something. This is becoming a bigger deal than I ever intended. It's not that important to me, just a subjective impression. And I'm certainly willing to concede that my impressions could be in error. So maybe we should just wrap it up and move on.
I agree. And for what it is worth, I don't think you're a racist. What's more, I am probably more than a little sensitive myself coming from a life where mixed ethnicity marriages are the norm.
But really, Sue and Johnny were the least of the FF's problems. In addition to the obvious flaws mentioned here, the complete disregard for the world of the FF really bothered me.
Doom just wasn't the same character. What's more, if they wanted to write a love triangle with Sue and Reed the comics have already established Namor in that role. Also, the slapstick humor was just embarrassing. If I had watched this movie with my non-comic book friends, I am sure they would have been merciless.

Table of Contents
What are drinks
[* This chapter is purely philosophical: a description of different kinds of wine does not enter into the plan I have marked out for myself. If it was, I would never have finished my book.]
By drinks we mean all liquids which mingle with food.
Water seems to be the natural drink. Wherever there is animal life it is found, and replaces milk. For adults it is as necessary as air. WATER. Water is the only fluid which really appeases thirst, and for that reason only a small quantity of it can be drank. The majority of other fluids that man drinks are only palliatives, and had he drank nothing else he never would have said that he drank without being thirsty.
Quick effect of drinks
Drinks are absorbed by the animal economy with the most extreme facility. Their effect is prompt and the relief they furnish is almost instantaneous. Give the most hungry man you can meet with the richest possible food, he will eat with difficulty. Give him a glass of wine or of brandy, and at once he will find himself better.
A case of the beneficial effects of alcohol
I can establish this theory by a very remarkable circumstance I received from my nephew, Colonel Guigard, a man not disposed to tell long stories. All may rely upon the accuracy of what he has said.
He was at the head of a detachment returning from the siege of Jaffa, and was but a few hundred paces from the place where he expected to find water, and where he met many of the advanced guard already dead with heat.
Among the victims of this burning climate was a carabinier who was known to many persons of the detachment.
Many of his comrades who approached him for the last time, either to inherit what he had left, or to bid him adieu, were amazed to find his limbs flexible and something flexible around his heart.
"Give him a drop of sacre chien" said the lustig of the troupe. "If he is not too far gone into the other world, he will come back to taste it."
At the reception of the first spoonful of spirits he opened his eyes: they then rubbed his temples and gave him a drop or two. After about an hour he was able to sit up in the saddle.
He was taken to a fountain, nursed during the night, and carefully attended to. On the next day he reached Cairo.
Strong Drinks.
There is one thing very worthy of attention; the instinct which leads us to look for intoxicating drinks.
Wine, the most pleasant of all drinks, whether due to Noah who planted the vine, or to Bacchus who expressed the juice of the grape, dates back to the infancy of the world. Beer, which is attributed to Osiris, dates to an age far beyond history.
All men, even those we call savages, have been so tormented by the passion for strong drinks, that limited as their capacities were, they were yet able to manufacture them.
They made the milk of their domestic animals sour: they extracted the juice of many animals and many fruits in which they suspected the idea of fermentation to exist. Wherever men are found, strong liquors are met with, and are used in festivities, sacrifices, marriages, funeral rites, and on all solemn occasions.
The Art of Distillation
For many centuries wine was drank and sung before any persons had an idea that it was possible to extract the spirituous portion, which is the essence of its power. The Arabs, however, taught us the art of distillation, invented by them to extract the perfume of flowers, and especially of the rose, so celebrated in their poems. Then persons began to fancy that in wine a source of excitement might be found to give taste a peculiar exaltation. By gradual experiments alcohol, spirits of wine, and brandy were discovered.
Alcohol is the monarch of liquids, and takes possession of the extreme tastes of the palate. Its various preparations offer us countless new flavors, and to certain medicinal remedies, it gives an energy they could not well do without. It has even become a formidable weapon: the natives of the new world having been more utterly destroyed by brandy than by gunpowder.
A Human Passion
The method by which alcohol was discovered, has led to yet more important results, as it consisted in the separation and exhibition of the constituent parts of a body, it became a guide to those engaged in analogous pursuits, and made us acquainted with new substances, such as quinine, morphine, strychnine and other similar ones.
Be this as it may, the thirst for a liquid which nature has shrouded in veils, the extraordinary appetite acting on all races of men, under all climates and temperatures, is well calculated to attract the attention of the observer.
I have often been inclined to place the passion for spirituous liquors, utterly unknown to animals, side by side with anxiety for the future, equally strange to them, and to look on the one and the other as distinctive attributes of the last sublunary revolution.
Magnus' Comment
Brillat-Savarin has been one of the major influences for my relation with gastronomy or, if you want, the pleasures of the table and beyond… Allow me the pun: He was crucial for my making sense of my senses.

ATC says about one in four attempts are successful
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) announces that it has received more than 12,000 reported 2,000 mile hikers applications. Each year, thousands of hikers attempt a thru-hike the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) but only about one in four make it all the way.
To qualify as a 2,000 miler, hikers must walk the entire estimated 2,180 miles of the A.T. This journey travels through fourteen states ranging from the southern terminus at Springer Mountain, Georgia, to the Trail's northern terminus at Katahdin, Maine.

2008 Dodge Sprinter 3500 Q&A
2008 Dodge Sprinter 3500 Question: attaching a solar trickle charger to the 3500
I own a 2008 sprinter/Winnebago ViewJ 24' RV which I store over the Wisconsin winters. I've purchased a 5 watt solar charger. Can I attach it to the + post in the engine and body frame part and feel confident that it will trickle charge the battery over the winter or use the cigarette lighter plug? - Bobkelter
2 Answers
Answer 1
Your first statement is correct, or see if the cigarette lighter is "live" with the keys out of the ignition if it is you can use the cigarette lighter but if it not live after ignition it will do nothing for you to attach the charger to the lighter circuit. - patrick mannion

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 PSA NM-MT 8. Just seven examples have been able to survive in better condition. Babe Ruth's status in baseball was well conveyed with his four appearances in the R319 Goudey edition from 1933. Gehrig did manage to appear twice but Goudey saw fit to use the same illustration twice. Card #181 pictures the Babe holding his trusty lumber, gazing upward from within a highly detailed portrait. This could easily be a brief, quiet moment for Ruth, sitting on clubhouse steps, watching the current Yankee batter, torn between placing the ball into the left, center or right field stands. This is an eye-catching copy of one of the hobby's more desirable Ruth collectibles. The lack of surrounding elements only adds to the aura that is the "Babe. " It takes but a few seconds to realize one is beholding something special. The clean, white borders surround an image placed just to the right of center with perfect print registration. This pinnacle of craftsmanship allows every subtle detail to emerge. There is but the faintest hint of wear to three outer corner tips with the fourth displaying a slightly elevated level of fuzziness, but well within the restrictions of the NM-MT 8 grade wisely assessed by PSA. The reverse offers a nicely struck print in that unmistakable Goudey green ink. Even the traditional reverse print ghosting (overkill from the sheet placed under this one) is barely noticeable keeping the back as visually enticing as the front. For the advanced Ruth collector or the condition conscious baseball card fan with the desire to own a piece of history, one's endurance and stamina would surely be put to the test trying to locate a finer specimen.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/2/12
With a wide gulf separating them from the top of the NL East, the New York Mets need R.A. Dickey pitching at the top of his game if they harbor any hopes of climbing back into contention. Dickey's most recent outing was quite encouraging. The Mets will hand the ball to the knuckleballer Friday in the opener of a three-game road series against the San Diego Padres. Dickey (14-2, 2.83 ERA) was nearly unhittable for much of the season's first half and earned a spot on the All-Star team, but his knuckler fluttered back to earth as he went 1-1 with a 6.49 ERA in his first six appearances of July. He returned to All-Star form Sunday at Arizona, allowing an unearned run and four hits while striking out eight through seven innings of work in a 5-1 victory. Dickey pitched similarly well in a 2-0 home win over the Padres on May 27, striking out 10 and limiting San Diego to three hits in 7 1-3 innings. "When you don't see it often, it's different," San Diego manager Bud Black told his te...

Fallen officers honored in Ocala ceremony
Published: Thursday, May 15, 2008 at 10:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 15, 2008 at 10:57 a.m.
OCALA - Local law enforcement officials gathered at 501 S.E. 25th Ave. at 9 a.m. Thursday to remember those who died in the line of duty.
During the half-hour event, Ocala Police Department Deputy Chief Greg Graham said that in the United States last year 140 officers were killed in the line of duty.
Guest speaker County Judge Sara Ritterhoff Williams said that this year, as of May 14, 37 law enforcement officers have been killed nationwide while performing their duties. Of the 37, one was from Florida.
Among them, 34 were men and three were women, one of whom was pregnant.
Maj. James McGowan read the names of the 13 local law enforcement officials who died over the years, from Ocala Town Marshal Burrell Dawkins in 1881 to Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Brian Litz in 2004.
Capt. Jeff Succi of the Florida Highway Patrol told the audience members they could purchase a brick for $60 that would aid in the development of a permanent site.

To each their own then.
I'd wager that many of the failures for install lie between the keyboard and chair. Working as close to the general public as I do I can guarantee many people try to install it on their own. For anybody here installing an OS is incredibly easy- but for the average joe whom doesn't understand the lingo it isn't so easy.
So many times we've had customers purchasing a copy of Vista and now 7, trying to load it on their computers that are barely able to run XP- then complaining that the OS wouldn't load on their rig and wanting their money back.
Or they install it- but then wonder why their audio doesn't work or VGA isn't functioning properly- having no idea what the concept of a driver is let alone how to install one or where to find them.
And doing these things is far easier under Windows than any Linux distro I've ever used. As such, trying to get the general populace to use Linux would be a failure of such epic proportions the human might cannot fathom it's magnitude.

STILLWATER, Minn. — The narrow bridge connecting this quaint river town with neighboring Wisconsin is decaying, one chunk of rusted steel at a time. For decades, Minnesota's politicians have tried and failed to win permission to erect a new bridge across the scenic St. Croix River.
It now falls to Rep. Michele Bachmann, the congresswoman who calls Stillwater home, to finally get it done. The bridge will test whether one of the most recognizable elected officials in Washington can fulfill the most basic duty of members of Congress: delivering for the voters in their district.

Just bought a New Machine .. but I´m wondering ..what Software do you use for texturing ??
greets Tobias
Most people would use Photoshop or Gimp, but you can use any 2D paint program that you are comfortable with.
Any particular kind of texturing in mind?
Stitch Witch can also be used for texturing. It can extract the template from the object file. You can scale, rotate, and layer the textures. It has options to create laces and buttons. It can also create a .cr2 file if you want to.
Resistance is futile. You will be DAZzimilated

Homemade {Easy, Low-cost} Light Table

Are you ready for some FOOOOTBALLL
I'm a straight shooter sweetheart who wears her heart on her sleeve! I am easy-going, quick-witted, and always up for a good time. No children of my own (my ex couldn't have kids) but I have a lot of neices and nephews who kick my butt at video games. That being said, I have no problem meeting someone who does or does not have children. It may sound simplistic, but I looove to laugh. I feel like I have gained a newfound appreciation for the value of humor just in the past year. As far as my match, I am looking for someone who has a great sense of humor, sincere, and happy in life. Someone who is easy-going like myself. Who is happy to just sit at home and watch a movie & watch me cook or could just as easy go out for dinner and a drink. Although traveling is fun too! :) I am not interested in sending a hundred emails to "get to know you" only to find out something crazy. I'd rather just have a quick chat on the phone or meet up somewhere- where there are a lot of people. Ha! Please only contact me if you, too, believe you have to be comitted to making a relationship work. I am looking to date a guy that will lead into a great friendship and then something more. I don't have the internet in our home (yet) and this site is blocked at our office. I can't imagine why they would think I would spend all day looking for a soulmate instead of working. Ha! I will visit my loving sister as often as possible in order to use her computer for my online dating. Hehe. By the way,

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish, Horses

Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 2 votes Best answer The pokemon that your wurmple will evolve into depends on it's personality value. The personality value is set in stone once you catch a pokemon. If your Wurmple has a personality value of 4 or less, it will be a Silcoon, and then a Beautifly. If it is 5 or more, it will evolve into a Cascoon, and then a Dustox.

Smith goes out on high note
Originally Published: January 2, 2005By Ryan Hockensmith | ESPN The Magazine
TEMPE, Ariz. -- He might stay. He might go. But on this night, Alex Smith just went.
Out of the shotgun. Under center. Shovel passes. Screen passes. Long passes. Short passes. And if Pittsburgh had over the river and through the woods covered, the Utah quarterback took off and ran with the ball. He finished 29-of-37 for 328 yards and four touchdowns, and tormented the Panthers defense with 68 yards rushing, too.
No matter what the junior decides about the NFL, Smith can bank the Tostitos ...

HRC/Third Way Poll: Americans Believe Marriage Equality Poses No Threat to Religious Liberty
July 2013 -- Americans firmly believe that our laws adequately balance religious liberty and non-discrimination, according to recent poll results from HRC and Third Way.
According to the study, Americans overwhelmingly oppose broad exemptions that would in essence codify discrimination against LGBT people into our nation's laws. Instead, the majority of Americans believe that marriage equality does not require the passage of new laws to allow businesses and individuals permission to discriminate against LGBT individuals and their families.
The results show that 56 percent of Americans think that is illegal for business owners in their state to refuse service to someone because he or she is gay—but 30 percent of all respondents were incorrect and in fact live in states where that discrimination is still legal; 69 percent of Americans believe that businesses should NOT be able to refuse service to a gay person; And 67 percent of Americans oppose a law that would allow businesses or organizations to deny services to gay and lesbian couples based on religious objections.

An average Associate Editor in the United States can expect to take home roughly $42K annually. Geographic location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by career length. For the most part, Associate Editors enjoy their work and report high levels of job satisfaction. Most enjoy medical while a strong majority get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to the larger part.

Associate editors play a key supporting managerial role for web- and print-based media outlets. These professionals may work under an editor of a specific section or subject (such as "associate editor for technology"), or they may be the second-in-command to an overarching editor or editor in chief. A key part of the associate editor's job is to ensure content fits their organization's style and standards. They often work with staff and/or freelance content producers (such as writers and videographers), editing their producers' work for style and content. These editors may ask the content producer to make specific changes to their work, make the changes themselves, or some combination of the two. After editing is complete, the associate editor sends the written work to the next step in the publications process; for example, they may post the completed work online, send it to a copy editor, or send it to the section editor. Additionally, the associate editor may be required to locate appropriate visuals, text, and/or video to accompany content.Read More...
Associate editors work with a variety of personnel. They frequently take direction from a section editor, editor, managing editor, and/or editor in chief. They also with staff and freelance writers, photographers, videographers, and other content providers. An associate editor typically works in an office environment, and their shifts may vary depending on the publication schedule of the employer.
Employers typically prefer a bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline, as well as previous experience in the field. Excellent organizational and communication skills are essential, as well as outstanding writing and editing skills in their medium. Associate editors must also be proficient with basic computer software, and they may be required to know (or learn) specific software programs used by their organization.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
It's not very common for Associate Editors to move on to become Senior Editors. Average pay for a Senior Editor is $62K annually. It is quite typical for Associate Editors to transition into roles as Editors or Managing Editors, where reported median earnings are $3K and $9K higher per year.
Associate Editors report using a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in writing, Acquisitions, Project Management, and Content Management are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Proofreading, Web Content Management, and Copywriting. Those proficient in Editing are, more often than not, also skilled in Technical Writing.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Associate Editors, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. The average beginner in this position makes around $40K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $47K. Associate Editors claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $54K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $59K.
Associate Editors will find that San Francisco offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 22 percent. Associate Editors can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Boston (+16 percent), Washington (+15 percent), Austin (+10 percent), and Los Angeles (+10 percent). Associate Editors in Atlanta make 33 percent less than the national average, proving that location is a major factor in pay. Below-median salaries also turn up in Cleveland and Madison (22 percent lower and 21 percent lower, respectively).

The inside story of the historic battle that turned the tide in the war for the Pacific
Six months after Pearl Harbor, the seemingly invincible Imperial Japanese Navy prepared a decisive blow against the United States. After sweeping through Asia and the South Pacific, Japan's military targeted the tiny atoll of Midway, an ideal launching pad for the invasion of Hawaii and beyond. The United States Navy would be waiting for them.
Thanks to cutting-edge code-breaking technology, tactical daring, and a huge stroke of luck, the Americans under Admiral Chester W. Nimitz dealt the Japanese navy its first major defeat of the war. Three years of hard fighting remained, but it was at Midway that the tide turned. This vivid, in-depth bestseller is the first book to tell the story of the epic battle from both the American and Japanese sides.
In Miracle at Midway, Gordon W. Prange, Donald M. Goldstein, and Katherine V. Dillon show how America won its first and greatest victory of the Pacific war - and how easily it could have been a defeat.

"I enjoyed both the narrator and the content"
Yes! This is a detailed, factual account of a relatively complex military action involving ships, and aircraft. Lots of research went into this book, and while I didn't need to know the designations of each aircraft and ship, there was enough information about the people - both Japanese and U.S. - involved to make the story interesting throughout the whole book.
I liked it so much I will read/listen to Gordon Prange's other books.
Learning about the thoughts and strategy of the Japanese.
I like Dennis Holland as a narrator. There are pieces of "humor" scattered within the story, and Mr. Holland brings them out to hear.
"Like an academic report"
I liked the story from the Japanese side.
I didn't like the amount of irrelevant detail. I didn't care about what time a garbage scow left the dock at Pearl Harbor. I didn't care about the serial number of every Japanese submarine in the plot.
Make it flow more like the story it is rather than what seems like a statistical academic report.
Drones with no emphasis or emotion.
Only if the story were better presented.
I just finished "The Rising Sun" about Japan from 1936 to 1945. Very well presented. It's what made me purchase Midway. I will wade through it but I'm disappointed.
"Enjoyable, informative, and inspiring"
I truly enjoyed this listen. Learned so much that I didn't know. The best part was the analysis of what went right and what went wrong.
"I Just Don't Know...."
Listen to the "Sample" before purchasing this book - I didn't. With over 200 books in my Audible library, this is the first title I just couldn't enjoy because of a narrator. Mr. Holland's inflections did not follow either the story or the punctuation. That made it difficult to follow the story because I was constantly rethinking what I'd heard. I'll probably order the Kindle version since as a history buff, I find the battle of Midway very interesting.
"Too many details"
The details, serial numbers, nit-picky details have to be sifted through to get to the story.
The Admirals
"As exciting as it is important."
This carefully researched and balanced account of the most important naval battle of World War 11 is easy on the ear but detailed and very interesting. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in this period of history.

Well there was the Alliance. I'm sure Mal and crew would have been happy to overthrow it. But the Alliance wasn't so much 'evil empire' as 'bloated bureaucracy'.
