Giving this a shot
I am the type of person who thinks of others before myself. I want to make sure everyone I'm with is having a great time. I have an amazing family and group of friends. Two awesome little nephews who I love to hang out with! My friends and family are very fun to be around and very supportive of my goals and ambitions. I work and live in the city and have a place out in Long Beach. I love being able to go back and forth between the best city in the world and the lazy beach life. I love my job - I work in the film/tv world. It's a very exciting and rewarding work environment. I like working on different interesting projects and am fortunate to be in a position to do so. I'm an avid runner, I love the beach and surfing and sports and exercise in general. I like finding unique things to do. I try to take in as much as I can. A routine is nice but I never want to feel like a robot. I also don't mind/love just laying low at home and watching a movie or doing some other nice relaxing activity like laying out and reading a book in the park, etc. I am very outgoing. I can strike up a conversation with just about anyone on anything. I love to travel and would like to hit up every continent and every major U.S. city, if not more! Call it cliche but... I'm looking for someone who I can just be myself around and they can feel the same around me. Someone who also enjoys spending time with friends and family, etc. Someone who is thoughtful and appreciates being treated nicely and with respect. Which is exactly how I would want to be treated. Basically who wants to make the most out of life, no matter how big or small.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Watching sports , Wine tasting

Movies, writing, traveling, sports - football and baseball and volley ball are my favorites, spending time with friends and family, beach, boats, restaurants, concerts, art, museums, seizing the day and trying new things. Love training/ running races
Lapham Rising - very funny and smart, highly recommend. I end up doing a lot of reading for work. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction. Currently reading the Game of Thrones series.

Horizontal Leadership Model Spreads in Nigeria
Related Articles
In Hausa, two different words refer to a leader or leadership. The first word, shugabanci, is more popular and refers to authoritarian leadership. The second word, jagoranci, refers to horizontal leadership. At the beginning, most of the participants felt that the first definition of leadership was more significant while the second definition only refers to someone who directs others but does not have the power to actually lead. At the end of the Institute, after much debate, participants came to the decision that leadership was not the ability to impose one's desires on others, but rather to lead the people to a shared vision of the world we wish to create.

The workshops took place in Zimbabwe and Tanzania as part of the regularly scheduled programming for the Women's Self-Promotion Movement (WSPM) and Umoja wa Akina Mama Fizi (UWAFI). The response from participants and facilitators to WLP's empowering, cooperative leadership strategies was very positive. The workshops' success was largely due to the excellent planning and organization of the NGOs, whose commitment to new models of leadership and consensus-building provided the workshops with real-life context and problem-focused content.

This is a great pressed powder at an incredibly cheap price. I buy it at Target for about $1.75. It sucks up the oil and leaves my face looking soft and matte. My only complaint about this product is that the packaging is horrible, as is the cheap foam pad that they call a "puff"- but you're not supposed to actually use those to put the powder on anyway, right? The powder comes in a compact that is so cheap it's not even hinged- it's just thin plastic folded in half. I fixed this by taking a Physician's Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored corrector compact I never used (in the green shades) and prying the powder pan out. The pan for this and the NYC are the same size- I just switched out the pans and threw away the green powder and that horrible compact, and I not only have a good, sturdy compact, but a nice little brush to apply it with when I'm on the go. I love this powder and I'll continue using it as long as I have my PF compact to store it in! :)

I tried this based on the good reviews because my curiosity was killing me. This is a pretty good pressed powder, for the price. This is a lighter shade so if you have a darker skin tone use the darker powder, not translucent, but this worked great for pale 'ol me. If you don't like shelling out more money for pressed powders, this would do the job just fine. Very finely milled, smoothes out your complexion and definitely keeps the oilies away, for quite a while I may add. I used this to blot my t-zone in the early afternoon and my face still looked fresh that evening, so it has some staying power. Great to carry around for touch ups if you have oilier skin. This is as good as anything else out there. If you are on a budget, this is your powder. Average packaging for a $2 powder, but that isn't what I bought it for. You'll need to replace the puff for a softer one with no pores. Does it's job, and that's all I ask of a product.

This stuff is AMAZING. It is equal to a lot of high end powders for VERY cheap. The puff sucks that it comes with, so I toss it and I use a powder brush instead for setting any foundation I am wearing. I am light so it goes with my skin tone well, and even though it says that it is translucent, I'm not sure how it would look on darker skin tones. Definately buy again and again and again!

Great cheap powder. I've used many kinds of face powder--expensive & cheap, pressed & loose. This does the job. TO SET. This is a "setting" powder for use after foundation. NOTHING takes away the shine on my nose and cheeks for the whole day. I just don't think that will ever happen. Well...maybe when I'm 90! LOL. Also very inexpensive. Heck, cheaper than a latte. What have you got to lose.

I use this stuff EVERYDAY. It's really good for people who have fair skin, and it creates a clean, fresh look that you'd never expect to acheive for $1.90. My only problem with this product is that my skin is oily and i must reapply it about 2-3 times a day. Using a powder brush with this product rather than that dinky little "sponge" also will give a more even finish.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: NYC makes ugly packaging. I use this to set my foundation, but it doesn't take away shine. Plus, it has a bad stying power. Will not repurchase.

The packaging sucks...but you pay for what you get right? It's not a bad powder for the money, but it leave my face grayish...don't know how to exactly explain it but it turns color as the day goes on...the puff it comes with is usable...but really the price is really cheap...you can try it for yourself!

Army teams going to Africa as terror threat grows
Thomas Dempsey, a professor with the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, said the biggest challenge will be the level of cultural, language and historical diversity across the far-flung continent.
"How do you train for that in a way that would be applicable wherever they go?" said Dempsey, a retired Army colonel. He said he's not sure using a combat brigade is the right answer, but added, "I'm not sure what the answer is. The security challenges differ so dramatically that, to be honest, I really don't think it's feasible to have a continental training package."
The Pentagon's effort in Africa, including the creation of U.S. Africa Command in 2007, has been carefully calibrated, largely due to broad misgivings across the continent that it could spawn American bases or create the perception of an undue U.S. military influence there. As a result, the command has been based in Stuttgart, Germany, rather than on the African continent.
At the same time, many African nations are eager for U.S. training or support, as they work to build their militaries, battle pirates along the coast and shut down drug trafficking, kidnapping and other insurgent activities.
McKenna acknowledged the challenge, but said the military has to tap its conventional fighting forces for this task because there aren't enough special operations forces to meet the global training needs. He said there will be as many as a dozen different training segments between February and September, each designed to provide tailored instruction for the particular teams.
The mission for the 2nd Brigade - known as the "Dagger Brigade" - will begin in the spring and will pave the way for Army brigades to be assigned next to U.S. Pacific Command and then to U.S. European Command over the next year. The brigade is receiving its regular combat training first, and then will move on to the more specific instruction needed for the deployments, such as language skills, cultural information and other data about the African nations.
Dagger Brigade commander Col. Jeff Broadwater said the language and culture training will be different than what most soldiers have had in recent years, since they have focused on Pashtun and Farsi, languages used mostly in Afghanistan and Iran. He said he expects the soldiers to learn French, Swahili, Arabic or other languages, as well as the local cultures.
"What's really exciting is we get to focus on a different part of the world and maintain our core combat skills," Broadwater said, adding that the soldiers know what to expect. "You see those threats (in Africa) in the news all the time."
The brigade will be carved up into different teams designed to meet the specific needs of each African nation. As the year goes on, the teams will travel from Fort Riley to those nations - all while trying to avoid any appearance of a large U.S. military footprint.
"The challenge we have is to always understand the system in their country," said Rodriguez, who has been nominated to be the next head of Africa Command. "We're not there to show them our system, we're there to make their system work. Here is what their army looks like, and here is what we need to prepare them to do."
Rodriguez said the nearly 100 assignments so far requested by Ham will be carried out with "a very small footprint to get the high payoff."

A is for
Alpha Hydroxy Acid
B is for
clogged pores aren't just limited to your face. Changing out of
sports gear quickly and using a body wash with salicylic acid can
help clear up your back.
C is for
cleansing before bed
D is for
DIY facials
Why dash
out to the drugstore to quick-fix your skin? You can make at-home
facials with items in your fridge. You can mash a banana, mix one
with ¼ cup plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons of honey and pop it on
your face for a few minutes. Rinse it off and unveil clean skin.
E is for
Blast away
excess dirt and dead skin cells (ick) a couple times a week. Don't
go for anything too gritty (we're lookin' at you, apricot
G is for
green tea
this natural antioxidant has shown to benefit almost every aspect of
your girl's health. You don't have to only drink the tea to reap
the benefits of it: We heart products with calming green tea in them.
H is for a
healthy diet
right is just as important as washing your face. Here are some basic
diet rules to stick by: Nosh plenty of fruits and veggies; they're
packed with nutrients your skin needs. Drink lotsa water per day to
wash all the extra oil and other impurities out of your system. Don't
overdo it on the junk food!
I is for
certain facial products and stress can all cause your skin to freak.
Remember to avoid buffing skin more than twice a week, try yoga to
keep stress at bay and only use skin products that are
non-comedogenic (i.e. don't clog your pores).
J is for
jojoba oil
botanical oil has anti-inflammatory properties, hydrates and
rejuvenates the skin and enhances the smoothness and will improve
your complexion. Ironically, it'll also mop up excess grease from
your face. Add a few drops to your moisturizer to keep skin stable.
K is for
keeping your hair off your face
We know:
Bangs up the cool factor on your coif. Truth is, having all that hair
hanging in your face can lead to breakouts.
L is for
lip scrub
Move over,
balm. Every few weeks take a couple minutes show your kisser some
love by buffing away dead skin (an old toothbrush or some sugar mixed
with olive oil works). You'll reveal smooth, soft skin.
M is for
Never, ever
skip moisturizing, even if you're prone to oil. Simply snag a
formula that's made for your skin type and slather it on after
washing in the a.m. and p.m.
O is for
nutrient, specifically Omega 3, 6, and 9, are essential fatty acids
that are magnificent for your complexion. They are found in salmon,
avocado and some nuts, so start seeking them out and incorporating
them in your BTS lunches.
P is for
protection against the sun
on sunscreen every day is so important, even when the sun is nowhere
to be spotted.
Q is for a
quick fix
Picking is
never the answer and we don't love the idea of globbing on the
concealer, either. Instead, apply Mario
Badescu Drying Cream—the
yellow color makes zits disappear.
R is for
ridding yourself of redness
Dab a bit
of Visine or saline solution directly onto a blemish to zap it of its
tell-tale color.
S is for
stocking up on spot treaters
There are
tons of spot treatments out there, but how many of them actually
work? We dig Neutrogena
On-The-Spot Acne Treatment,
you can pick it up at your local drugstore and it won't break the
bank. Best of all, it actually works.
T is for
taking it easy
When you
get a blemish, it's easy to go into full-on assault mode:
Exfoliating, loads of extra washing, picking, you name it. Instead,
be gentle on your face. Avoid aggravating any bumps you've got and
keep up the moisturizing.
U is for
under-eye treatment
jitters got you up all night? You don't have to look zonked when
you hit the halls. Use your ring finger to dab on some concealer. Try
Estee Lauder Double Wear
Stay-in-Place Concealer SPF 10—it's
pricey, but worth it.
V is for
Eating for
your complexion isn't just about avoiding greasy pizza. It's also
about making sure you add plenty of awesome fruits and veggies to
your diet.
W is for
sipping, girl. Every esthetician we've ever talked to mentions how
key it is to stay hydrated all day. Buh-bye, toxins.
X is for
xtra sleep
Your whole
body needs at least 8 hours of zzz's every night. It's called
beauty sleep for a reason! Not only will you wake feeling more
rested, it's proven that your skin glows and is generally healthier
after a full night's sleep. Plus, you don't have to worry about
those dark circles under your eyes. It's not Halloween yet, so
there's no reason to have raccoon eyes!
Y is for
the yuck factor
Your pretty
face comes into contact with a lot of not-so-sparkling stuff—old
makeup brushes, pillowcases that haven't been washed in a while,
sweaty t-shirts during soccer practice. Take precautions to keep the
world around you clean and you'll avoid gunking up your face
Z is for
zapping zits

Inspectors confront foodborne illnesses
Inspection questions
Custer said inspectors don't make appointments for routine inspections.
"If violations occur, they are dealt with in a very timely manner to protect the public and to keep all restaurants safe," he said.
"Depending on how the inspection goes, we will set a date for follow-up."
Monks said the first thing inspectors do is when they come into an establishment is go to a sink — check the sink and then wash their own hands.
"Hand-washing is absolutely critical," Monks said. "Hand washing sinks should be separate from any kind of food preparation sinks so no cross-contamination from during the preparation process."
Custer said there are 58 violations for inspectors to consider.
"(Proper) temperatures are a major step in preventing bacteria from growing and illness from happening," Custer said. "Handling the food in a clean way, keeping the facility clean are all important steps in keeping food safe and illnesses and outbreaks from happening."
Custer said there are different steps an inspector takes, depending on the seriousness of the violation.
"If it is a violation that needs to be corrected immediately, and which we bring it to the management's attention, we will work with the person-in-charge until this violation is corrected before we leave," Custer said.
"Other violations may take some time. We will set a date for the violation to be corrected, then follow up with the date and then follow up with any corrections they may have."
Custer said for a restaurant to be closed down there must be an imminent public health situation.
"Voluntarily, we will ask restaurant to close down. Every time I've asked (a restaurant) to close down, they've agreed to close down until we get them up to code," Custer said.
"It's not something we come and say 'you're closed,' it's something we've asked the restaurant to close until this imminent health hazard's been resolved."
Monks said that not all closed restaurants were unsafe restaurants.
"You can see a closure and it may have been something beyond the control of the owner," she said.
Custer said the worst incident he ever saw as an inspector was a restaurant he had to close immediately because of a faulty walk-in cooler.
"The cooler hadn't been working for some time," Custer said. "They were storing meat and other foods for prep. The smell of food that is out of temperature and sitting at room temperature can be a scary scene."
Custer said that while he hasn't personally ever felt threatened while inspecting an establishment, the department has a policy in effect in case such an incident occurs.
"If we feel threatened we will leave an establishment," Custer said. "We will return with a supervisor or law enforcement if necessary."

Sam Peter needed a gift decision to beat an obese, shot, 5ft 9", 40-year-old former middleweight. Peter only picked up a belt because he beat a shot, 40-year-old, glass jawed Maskaev, who was only ever a fringe contender at best during his prime. Although to be fair to Maskaev he did get horribly over matched early in his career which didn't help his long tern development.

Ok I'm going to try to make this as cliche...
Ok I'm going to try to make this as cliche free as possible, but it's really kind of amazing how similarly people describe themselves, so no promises. I laugh a lot. Of all the things that people do together, I think we bond over humor more than anything else. If I had to make a list of the top characteristics of the people I want in my life, humor would be either number 2 or 3. I love it when things matter, and I love anything that gives me a strong feeling of passion. I think that the "why" is always more important than the "what," and I'd much rather know why you do something than what that something is. I really enjoy deep conversations about both practical and absurd topics (especially the absurd topics). There's nothing quite like realizing the sun is coming up because you've been so caught up in the people you're with for an entire night, regardless of what you were talking about or whether anybody agreed with you. I'm driven, competitive, and I hate to lose, but I'd rather lose honestly than win dishonestly. It's an incredible feeling to be great at something and find someone else to compete with who is at the same level. Win or lose, those are good days. I respect excellence in all its forms. I'm a firm believer in the cliche that you get out what you put in, and greatness takes work. I love to travel, meet new people with completely different perspectives from my own, and have a drink with them. I believe that regardless of where we're from, or where we're going, we're more alike than we are different, and proving it can be really fun. I guess above all I'm a fun loving guy with a strong sense of self and an even stronger desire to keep expanding what that self is. I'm looking for someone that has the strength to not be taken advantage of, but also the integrity not to use that strength to take advantage of others. Someone who is driven to understand how to enjoy life to the absolute maximum. To drink to the lees until only dust remains, and to laugh while they do it. Above all, I'm looking for a partner in crime. Someone that complements me, challenges me, and appreciates all the amazing and wondrous things that we get to experience in this little journey called life.

I can have fun just about anywhere, but I have a special weakness for breweries, sporting events and musicals. I love lounges and bars but don't especially like big clubs. My scene is meeting new people and lounging, not going out to see and be seen

Recently I really enjoyed a trip to the World Cup in Brazil, the movie"Silver Linings Playbook," Seahawks Football, a nonfiction book called "The Price of Politics," and a couple of trips to Las Vegas.
I think that I can find enjoyment in just about everything. Playing/watching sports, good food, adventurous nights out, world travel, or just watching TV or movies at home, random conversations about life, or having a drink on a deck with a view.
"The Fabric of the Cosmos" by Brian Greene, "Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell, "The Price of Pollitics" by Bob Woodward. My favorite all time book is "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand, but probably not for the reasons you think.

Employers Bullish on Hiring Recent MBA Grads, Recruiters Survey Shows
Students graduating in recent days from MBA programs across the United States and around the globe have more to celebrate than simply turning tassels, results from a corporate recruiters' survey released today show. Indeed, employer demand for recent business school graduates tops all previous years, according to the 2015 Corporate Recruiters Survey, conducted by the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) in partnership with EFMD and the MBA Career Services & Employer Alliance (MBA CSEA).
An astounding 92 percent of U.S. employers surveyed report plans to hire MBA grads this year, up 12 percent over last year. Globally, numbers are also robust, if not quite as strong as the U.S. figures. Some 84 percent of employers worldwide expect to add new MBAs to their workforce this year, up from 74 percent in 2014 and just 50 percent in 2009. This bests the prior all-time high of 82 percent in 2005. Continue reading…
Choosing an MBA Program Based on Where You Want to Work
With some lucky applicants now having been accepted to multiple top-tier business schools, a new challenge faces them: choosing where to go. A New York Times article decided to look at that question in an interesting way, offering suggestions for what school to attend based on the specific company you hope to work for upon graduation.
According to the Times analysis, the best school to choose if you want to land at Amazon is the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Amazon last year hired 27 Ross MBAs, displacing the school's historical No. 1 recruiter, Deloitte, according to the Times. Another 37 Ross grads headed to the e-commerce giant in the two years before that. Continue reading…
Increased Demand for Internal Consultants Drives Growth in Largest MBA Career Function
More MBAs than ever are heading into consulting roles upon graduation, thanks in part to increasing demand for internal strategy consultants among corporations, Business Because reports. Management consulting firms have long drawn large percentages of MBA grads, and now, as banks, healthcare companies, retailers and others shift toward hiring internal consultants, consulting as a function is more popular than ever, according to an article this week in Business Because.
Citing employment statistics from Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, Spain's ESADE Business School and France's HEC Paris, among others, the recent article suggested that the trend is a global one. At Tuck, 40 percent of the MBA Class of 2014 went into consulting and strategy functions, higher than any other. At ESADE, consulting drew 26 percent of the class, the highest, and at HEC Paris, consulting and finance functions tied for first, each drawing 21 percent. Continue reading…
Wharton MBA Class of 2014 Career Report Reveals Record Job Offers
A whopping 98.2 percent of Wharton MBA Class of 2014 students seeking employment received full-time offers, according to a career report released today by the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. That's an improvement over last year's 97.8 percent, which was itself the best number the school had seen in more than 10 years. Continue reading…
MBAs Find Early Job Offers in Nontraditional Sectors, GMAC Reports
A greater percentage of MBAs and other business school graduates seeking jobs in fields like technology, manufacturing and healthcare reported having early job offers than did those searching in the more traditional fields of finance and consulting, according to survey results released by the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) earlier this month.
GMAC released results from its 15th Annual Global Management Education Graduate Survey on June 4th. The global exit survey, conducted in February and March, polled 3,049 business school graduates at 111 universities. Of those, 57 percent had at least one early job offer, down slightly from 60 percent in last year's survey but still a huge improvement over the 32 percent who had offers in the same time period in 2010.
At the time of this year's survey, 62 percent of the graduating students were involved in a job search, and another four percent were either self-employed or intending to pursue entrepreneurship at graduation. Continue reading…
Harvard Business School MBA Grad Develops Resource to Help Students Record Summer Internship Experiences
As any business school student will tell you, the summer internship between the first and second years of an MBA program can be as important a part of your ultimate career path as any class you take while on campus. And yet, amid the many pressures that confront MBAs when they return to campus in the fall, it can be easy to lose sight of experiences and impressions they may have had while interning.
Now, thanks to an online resource developed by a recent Harvard Business School (HBS) graduate, current students can keep track of their goals and experiences during summer internships, creating a resource to help them gain as much from the process as possible. Called Life Guides, the website features a Summer Internship Guide to help MBAs quickly and easily record and summarize their summer internships, enabling them to better understand what they want to do with their careers as a result.

GMAC Corporate Recruiters Survey Reveals Strong Hiring Forecasts for MBAs
Good news for MBAs seeking jobs. The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) released the results of its annual global survey of employers, revealing that 80 percent of business school recruiters plan to hire MBAs in 2014. That's up seven percentage points from last year and a whopping 30 percentage points over 2009, in the midst of the economic crisis.
GMAC's annual Corporate Recruiters Survey, now in its 13th year, polled 565 employers from 44 countries in February and March, including 32 of the top 100 companies in the FT 500 and 36 of the Fortune 100. GMAC, which administers the GMAT exam, conducts the employers survey in partnership with EFMD and the MBA Career Services and Employer Alliance. Continue reading…
5 Ways To Excel When You Join a Startup
Taking the place of our weekly career strategy column by Ivan Kerbel, Common Bond has offered their take on how to succeed at a startup, no matter what the stage of your career.
You've signed the offer and sighed with relief: you're just weeks away from joining an innovative startup in your dream role.
If you've never worked at a startup before now, you're in for a wakeup call. You'll enter a completely new professional environment, where you'll face sole ownership of your workstream, turnaround times that occur at light speed, and the chance to actually grow a business.
MBAs can bring great things to the table at any firm, but it takes special grit to excel in a startup. Here are five ways to start the summer strong:
1. Learn everything (really) about the company and industry. That weeklong orientation or onboarding period from your last job? Think again. Whether you're an MBA intern or a full-time hire, don't assume much training is ahead. Be sure you're absolutely up-to-date on the industry landscape and your company's recent initiatives so your employer doesn't need to clue you in.
2. Prepare beyond your functional area. Cross-functional knowledge is the first step to diving in on day 1 and, ultimately, collaborating with teammates who love working with you. That means that if you're a finance manager, review the firm's latest marketing campaigns and PR placements, and if you're on the design team, learn the names and brand of every investor.
How to Tell If Someone Truly Loves His or Her Job
It's a given, as most business school students in the midst of MBA recruiting know, that the alumni and employer representatives who visit campus for company presentations, coffee chats, and various other career-oriented events tend to be the ones who enjoy their work the most (and are the most successful at it). The end result, in terms of what these alumni and recruiters share with students who are evaluating their career options, is that almost every aspect of internships and post-MBA careers at "organization X" is described in superlative terms.
The amount of responsibility granted to MBAs who join the organization is outstanding; access to senior firm leaders and decision-makers is great; the work content is stimulating; the chance to achieve impact is awesome; your colleagues are talented and fun to be with; compensation and performance bonuses are off the charts, etc. It can seem as though, despite some concessions (long work hours, travel demands), careers across a wide range of employers are all rated "A++".
Thus, a question I've often been asked by students is: how can you truly tell when an organization lives up to its projected image, when a job truly is fun? Are there tell-tale signs to zero in on and ways to tell when an employer experience truly does stand out from the rest? … How can you tell if an alumnus or alumna you speak with truly loves his or her job?
Although it may seem a purely subjective realm, I've found that there are three categories to focus on that can demarcate job/work experiences which are merely positive from those that are transcendent. Continue reading…
Conducting a Career Self-Assessment – for New Admits and Current MBAs (Part 3 of 3)
At one point a few years ago, during the height of MBA recruiting season, a senior manager visiting campus for a corporate presentation bemoaned the amount of self-imposed stress that students experience in choosing a full-time employer: "students will spend two years (during business school) agonizing over a job they're going to keep for less than two years," he said, and his assessment was not far off.
In its 2013 Alumni Perspectives Survey of MBA graduates from 2000 through 2012, the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) found that "63% of the members of the class of 2010 are still working for the same organization" – or, phrased differently, that 37% had left their first post-MBA job within two years of graduation (and in the midst of a very tough job market). My own anecdotal evidence suggests that at some point roughly 4 to 5 years after graduation, finding yourself employed by the same company you joined coming out of business school becomes the exception rather than the norm.
And while there are many variables that influence and reflect MBA employee retention and turnover – GMAC finds, for example, that "switching organizations has a positive impact on salary levels but a negative impact on career momentum" – the simple reality that you should keep in mind as a current or rising MBA is that your next job is almost certainly not your last job, and that part of your task in the MBA career search process is not only to choose an internship and a full-time, post-MBA job, but to begin to plan for and scope out the job after that, and perhaps even beyond. Continue reading…
MIT Sloan MBAs Scope Out Leading Seattle Firms as Part of Annual Tech Trek
After returning from a recent MIT Sloan Tech Trek to Seattle, a first-year MBA student shared highlights in a recent article on GeekWire. Jarek Langer (MBA '15), vice president of treks for the Technology Club at Sloan, detailed his recent trek, which included visits to Amazon, Microsoft and Groupon. Though all three companies had already given formal presentations on MIT's campus, visits to their campuses provided valuable insights into company culture and more, Langer writes.
At Microsoft, trek participants got a tour of the campus as well as a chance to convene with MIT Sloan alumni now working there. "We'd heard about its giant campus, but it was incredible to experience the scale of it in person," Langer writes. He noted that conversations with alumni gave him a sense of the importance of collaboration at Microsoft, as well as a high degree of ownership over work, with little micromanagement.
Next was a visit to Groupon, where trek participants got to learn about a shift in the company's business model toward a greater focus on local and mobile. Particularly interested in the intersection between tech and retail, Langer noted that what he learned at Groupon makes him plan to keep the company in his sights.
The trek's final company visit was to Amazon, where a panel filled with more Sloan alumni helped describe what it's like to work there, as well as what Seattle living is all about. "One thing that stood out for me was how employees don't use PowerPoint very much," writes Langer. "Instead, they use thoroughly written white papers that explore issues in depth." This observation was in keeping with a company known for its analytic depth and attention to detail, he added.
Rounding out the trek was a visit to venture capital firm Madrona Venture Group, with a panel filled by senior people from several of its startups, all interested in hiring interns. "It was clear from our discussion with these startups that analytics is playing a significantly greater role in business models," Langer writes. "There are a lot of opportunities to apply analytics in various settings and industries, which is great news for students from MIT Sloan where big data is an area of great interest and strong expertise."

Big Monday for Corpus Christi draft picks Hawkins, Mathisen
Carroll-ex has first four-hit pro game; former Calallen star blasts first home run
CORPUS CHRISTI - It was a big Monday for a couple Major League Baseball draft picks from Corpus Christi.
Wyatt Mathisen, a former Calallen star, blasted his first professional home run in the Gulf Coast League Pirates 3-2 win over the Braves. Mathisen is hitting over .300 with 10 stolen bases in 40 games this season.
On Monday night, Courtney Hawkins, who the Chicago White Sox moved from the Appalachian League to the South Atlantic League nine games earlier, had four hits, three of them doubles, scored two runs, drove in one and stole a base in the Kannapolis Intimidators 11-4 win over Hagerstown.

Viacom Lease at Times Square Tower Extended Through 2031
April 26 (Bloomberg) -- Viacom Inc., the owner of MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures, extended its lease at SL Green Realty Corp.'s 1515 Broadway in New York and is poised to occupy the entire office portion of the tower after 2020.
The media company's lease will run through 2031 with the new agreement, SL Green President Andrew Mathias said in a telephone interview yesterday. After 2020, Viacom will have about 1.6 million square feet (149,000 square meters) at the Times Square building, which is its headquarters, he said.
The deal ends speculation that Viacom might leave Times Square after its leases expire in 2015. Projects in Manhattan including the World Trade Center and Hudson Yards are seeking anchor tenants. It's the city's largest-ever office lease, excluding deals in which a building was sold and immediately rented back from the buyer, according to SL Green.
"It's a seminal moment for New York City and Times Square," Mathias said. "It's terrific to have them at the crossroads of the world with an enhanced and increased presence. It cements New York City's status as the media capital of the world."
SL Green rose 3.9 percent to $81.71, the highest price in almost nine months, at the close in New York. The real estate investment trust was today's biggest gainer in the 120-member Bloomberg REIT Index.
Bank of China
SL Green, based in New York, agreed to take a $775 million mortgage from Bank of China Ltd. on the 56-story Broadway tower, replacing $447 million of existing debt, Mathias said. The interest rate on the seven-year, floating-rate loan is tied to the London interbank offered rate, a benchmark for commercial mortgages, he said.
Mathias declined to disclose the interest rate or terms of the new Viacom agreement.
The Viacom deal is a "big positive" for SL Green, Brendan Maiorana, an analyst with Wells Fargo & Co., wrote in a note to clients. "The announcement removes a major overhang, in our view, since Viacom was considering a move downtown."
The lease "sets up very well" for SL Green to consider bringing in a joint-venture partner to share ownership of the tower, Mathias said in a conference call with analysts today. The building, which includes two Broadway theaters, has retail space that may become available, providing "upside" to the building's value, he said.
Chief Executive Officer Marc Holliday, on the call, put the skyscraper's value at $1.6 billion. The company last year bought out partner SITQ, a real estate investment unit of Canadian pension-fund manager Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec, in a deal that valued the building at $1.21 billion.
Biggest Lease
The agreement is the biggest U.S. office lease since at least 2008, according to data from CoStar Group Inc., a Washington-based real estate data service. Other large deals include Morgan Stanley's lease of almost 1.2 million square feet at 1 New York Plaza, announced last week, and two media deals from last year: NBC Universal's renewal of more than 1.2 million square feet at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, and Conde Nast Publications Inc.'s 1 million-square-foot lease at 1 World Trade Center.
New York City is "a vibrant source of inspiration for Viacom's innovative and creative employees," Philippe Dauman, Viacom's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. "We have had a great partnership with SL Green and have been proud to lead the revitalization of the Times Square neighborhood for two decades."
Viacom's broker was CBRE Group Inc., while SL Green was represented by company employees.
FFO Falls
Separately, SL Green yesterday reported first-quarter funds from operations of $99.3 million, down from $142.8 million a year earlier. The decline was due in part to a drop in gains from loan investments. Per-share FFO, which gauges a property company's ability to generate cash, totaled $1.10 a share, beating the $1.08 average of 17 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
The company raised its projection for 2012 FFO to $4.50 to $4.60 a share, up from $4.45 to $4.55.
Matt DiLiberto, SL Green's chief accounting officer, said on today's conference call that the increase was the result of the "brisk" pace of acquisitions and leasing during the first four months of the year, as well as the 1515 Broadway refinancing.
Viacom rents 1.3 million square feet at an average of $61.59 a square foot from SL Green, making it the real estate investment trust's second-biggest tenant, according to the REIT's fourth-quarter regulatory filing. Its largest tenant is Citigroup Inc.

Background info on the Cali Rally
The Cali Rally was done July 2008 and featured four teams (Volcom, Billabong, ...Lost, and Hurley) of four surfers plus a team manager, photographer and videographer. They were given a book of challenges that varied from making out with a cougar to surfing naked at Steamer Lane to riding a wave across the US/Mexico border. Needless to say, it was chaotic, scary, disgusting, and more fun than anyone could have foreseen.

SAN DIEGO - JANUARY 17: Head coach Rex Ryan of the New York Jets stands on the field prior to the AFC Divisional Playoff Game against the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium on January 17, 2010 in San Diego, California. (Photo by Donald Miralle/Getty Images)
Rex Ryan says it feels as though the New York Jets haven't won in ''forever'' and acknowledges that his struggling team is ''desperate'' for a victory Sunday at St. Louis. The Jets (3-6) have lost three straight, with their last win coming against Indianapolis on Oct. 14 - more than a month ago. New York is in last place in the AFC East and could see its fading playoff hopes take a serious hit if the Jets lose to the Rams (3-5-1), who haven't won since beating Arizona on Oct. 4. After facing the Rams, the Jets play the division-leading Patriots on Thanksgiving night. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie echoes Ryan's assessment of the game at St. Louis, saying: ''For us, we have to win.'' --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

What he really means is HE is desperate for a win, cause he is gone if they don't make the playoffs...and their not!! But helll, he can always GUARANTEE a loss, THEN HE WOULD BE RIGHT FOR A CHANGE.
Damn these jets, they decide to play well enough to win a game this weekend and they were the only game I picked wrong in the pool so far. Need the 49ers to win tonight and I'll be 13 of 14 for the week. I HATE THE JETS!!!!

Trident Health and St. Francis Hospital fared better for surgery outcomes than other Charleston hospitals in a new set of rankings published in the September edition of Consumer Reports.
But none of area's facilities ranked very high compared with some other hospitals around South Carolina and the rest of the country.
The new rankings were based on the percentage of Medicare patients who died after surgery and the length of their hospital stays after a procedure.
The magazine used a series of five colored dots to indicate which hospitals had the best outcomes. No hospital in the Lowcountry received a red dot from Consumer Reports, used to mark the top hospitals. Trident Health and St. Francis Hospital both received a white dot, showing outcomes there were about average compared with almost 2,500 other hospitals ranked in the U.S.
The Medical University Hospital fared slightly worse than Trident Health and St. Francis Hospital. Roper Hospital and East Cooper Medical Center both received black dots, the worst possible rating. Roper-owned Mount Pleasant Hospital was not included.
Two Greenville hospitals — Bon Secours St. Francis Health System and Patewood Memorial — were ranked highest in the state. They were the only South Carolina hospitals to get red dots.
Trident Health CEO Todd Gallati said hospital rankings like this one can help patients make informed decisions about where to seek the best care.
"I do think our consumers are pretty savvy," Gallati said.
The Consumer Reports rankings have drawn criticism from some health care experts for the methodology used to rank the hospitals.
"While we appreciate the intent of the report, it's important that people know its limitations," said MUSC spokeswoman Heather Woolwine in a prepared statement. "This report creates a skewed view of academic medical centers whose surgical case numbers are complicated by high rates of urgent and emergency cases and a smaller percentage of elective cases."
Woolwine also noted that "this report does not paint a full picture of the quality of surgical care available at MUSC" because the data used in the rankings is at least three years old and only culls information from Medicare patients.
The Consumer Reports hospital rankings were published just weeks after U.S. News & World Report released its annual hospital rankings.
According to that study, based on several factors including peer reviews, Medical University Hospital is the No. 1 hospital in South Carolina.
Roper Hospital was ranked No. 4 in the state and St. Francis Hospital was ranked No. 6. Trident Health, East Cooper Medical Center and Mount Pleasant Hospital did not make that list.
None of the hospitals in South Carolina were included in U.S. News & World Report's annual hospital Honor Roll, ranking the 18 best hospitals in the country.

Postsecondary Education:
Financial Trends in Public and Private Nonprofit Institutions
GAO-12-179: Published: Jan 26, 2012. Publicly Released: Feb 27, 2012.

What GAO Found
For fiscal years 1999 through 2009, both public and private nonprofit schools increasingly relied on tuition revenues when compared with other sources of revenue. Net tuition and feesrevenues received after subtracting institutional aid provided to studentsclimbed from 16 to 22 percent of total revenue at public schools, and from 29 to 40 percent at private nonprofit schools. According to four schools GAO interviewed, increased reliance on tuition revenue is partly a result of significant decreases in state and local appropriations and other revenue sources, such as endowment income. Analysis of Education data shows nearly all types of public and private nonprofit schools saw decreases in state and local appropriations ranging from 6 to 65 percent, as well as decreases in other revenues, ranging from 13 to 75 percent. In response to these declines, schools that GAO visited pursued additional revenue from out-of-state and, in some cases, international students, government funded research, and fund-raising.
Instructional spending consistently made up the largest share of total expenditures at public and private nonprofit schools, about 30 percent in fiscal years 1999 through 2009; however, spending varied across school types when accounting for student enrollment. Nonetheless, faculty compensation and benefits comprised the largest portion of instructional spending, about 70 percent, and increased for all school types during this time period. The overall number of faculty also rose with a shift toward hiring more part-time and nontenured faculty. Spending on most noninstructional activities also increased, particularly for research and student services. Schools GAO visited have adopted strategies to contain costs in response to revenue constraints, including centralizing administrative functions, cutting personnel costs, delaying construction projects, and eliminating certain class offerings.
According to GAO analysis of recent Education data, about 50 percent of first-time undergraduate students at public and private nonprofit schools graduated within 6 years. However, graduation rates varied with student characteristics such as gender, race, and income. For example, financially independent students graduated at lower rates than financially dependent students. Educations annual graduation measure provides a limited picture of student outcomes because it does not account for many nontraditional students, such as those who begin on a part-time basis and some transfers. Thus, graduation rates vary considerably depending on a schools student body and mission. Several efforts involving multiple stakeholders are under way to develop outcome measures that better account for all students.
Schools visited by GAO disclosed required information on cost of attendance, graduation rates, and future employment primarily through websites and, in some cases, in printed materials. Nationally, less than 1 percent of Educations program reviews and independent audits found violations of information disclosure requirements at public and private nonprofit schools. Education has taken a number of steps to help schools disclose complete and accurate information including developing a tool for school websites to help students better estimate and compare the costs of attending college and providing guidance to institutions on ways to disseminate information to students.
Why GAO Did This Study
The number of students seeking postsecondary education at public or private nonprofit institutions has increased by 31 percent over the last decade, and close to 90 percent of the overall student population is now enrolled in these types of schools. As demand for a postsecondary education has grown, so has the cost, and families are finding college increasingly difficult to afford. To help students pay for college, the Department of Education (Education) provides assistance through Title IV of the Higher Education Act, awarding $133 billion in federal student aid in the 2009-2010 school year.
To help ensure transparency and accountability in the public and private nonprofit postsecondary education sectors, GAO was asked to review schools in these sectors with respect to their (1) revenue trends; (2) expenditure trends; (3) student graduation rates; and (4) disclosure of information to students on cost of attendance, graduation rates, and future employment. GAO reviewed relevant federal laws and regulations, reports, and Education records and data on revenues, expenditures, completion rates, and student characteristics. GAO also interviewed Education and postsecondary association officials and conducted site visits to a nonrepresentative sample of nine schools representing a range of size, type, and geographic location. The results of the site visits are not generalizable to all public and private nonprofit schools. Education provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate.

Eden Foods Organic Kukicha Twig Tea -- 16 Tea Bags
Oops! Something went wrong and we were unable to process your request. Please try again.
A refreshing, authentic, time honored tea. It is tended, harvested, and prepared exactly as it has been for centuries. Roasted slowly and repeatedly, this organically grown twig tea creates a delightful refreshing and satisfying brew whether served steeping hot or iced cold. Kukicha Tea is the repeatedly roasted twigs and leaves of the tea plant.
HOT: We recommend using a ceramic, glass, earthenware or stainless steel kettle or teapot. Heat water to almost a boil. Fill a cup and steep the tea bag for 4 plus minutes and remove. Green tea should not be broiled.
ICED: For a glass of ice tea, brew as above using less water. After steeping, cool and then pour into an ice filled glass. To make a pitcher of ice tea, we recommended using 4 teas bags to 1 quart water for 6 servings.

Logic can act as a host for Reason using Rewire. Rewire is not something you need to set up, if you have Reason and Logic installed, then all you need to do is load Logic then Reason. All going to plan, when you look on Reasons output device it should say Rewire ***** mode. (The word in ***** is banned on this page!? I'm sure you'll figure it out though).
From there it gets a little bit fiddly assigning the tracks and Reason's outputs. Not too fiddly and there are good videos for it on YouTube. Set up right using the combination is fairly intuitive.
