Student loan defaults have risen for the fifth straight year, as students from traditional non-profit universities are having an increasingly difficult time paying off their college debt.
Numbers released by the Department of Education Friday show that of the 4.1 million borrowers who began making payments in late 2009 and early 2010, 9.1% defaulted within two years, up from 8.8% the year before.
Experts credited the combination of skyrocketing student debt and the poor economy for the increase. Unlike previous years, when default rates rose because of borrowers at for-profit ...

Fifth & Pacific Companies Inc. ( FNP ), as a part of its previously conducted brand evaluation, has agreed to sell its second non-core brand, Lucky Brand Jeans. The brand sale follows the company's announcement to dispose its Juicy Couture brand in early October. These divestitures will make Fifth & Pacific a single-brand company focused on getting the best out of its core Kate Spade brand.
Under the sale agreement, Fifth & Pacific has decided to sell its Lucky Brand Jeans to a partner of Leonard Green & Partners L.P. The company will receive $225 million from the sale, comprising $140 million in cash and the remaining $85 million as a three-year seller note.
Additionally, the deal allows Lucky Brand to assume a proportionate share of Fifth & Pacific's sourcing contract with Li & Fung along with other obligations. Moreover, to enable smooth transition of the sold brand, Fifth & Pacific has agreed to sign a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) for a nearly 24-month span.
The sale, conditioned upon the completion of certain general conditions, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014.
In October, Fifth & Pacific had agreed to divest its Juicy Couture brand to privately held Authentic Brands Group LLC for about $195 million in cash. Together, the sale of these two brands is expected to generate $370-$380 million liquidity for the company, including the face value of the seller note issued for Lucky Brand.
The process for the sale of the two brands began last year, when the company initiated a study to estimate its capital and resource needs, as well as risks and opportunities related to the operation of its three brands - Kate Spade, Lucky Brand and Juicy Couture, while also focusing on maximizing shareholder value.
Following the sale of the two non-core brands, the company will focus wholly on expanding its Kate Spade brand. Today, Kate Spade offers rapid growth prospects, given its worldwide demand, strong margins and better merchandise assortments, compared to its peers. The company expects to provide guidance for fiscal 2014 in early January, revealing a clearer picture about its future plans.
Fifth & Pacific currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Better-ranked stocks among apparel retailers include Citi Trends Inc. ( CTRN ), Fossil Group Inc. ( FOSL ) and Michael Kors Holdings Limited ( KORS ). All these stocks carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

How about meeting for coffee, to meet a new friend and maybe more?
Who we are is an amalgamation of everything that has happened in our lives through today. Every success, failure, decision, mistake, sorrow, and happiness combines to make us who we are. Who we are will always be more than 4000 characters. :) There are some traits that stand out: I am the proverbial nice guy. The guy that will open the door for you, because I want to, and then holds it open for everyone following behind. I am the guy that will go clothes shopping with you, hold your purse, and not complain. When you want to talk, I will listen. Many see me as laidback and casual. My life is filled with work, friends, and family. I would like to share it with someone. Would you like to be the one I share my life with? Who am I looking for? No woman can be defined simply putting adjectives to paper, and I want a chance to get to know you better. Traits that you would exhibit - self sufficient, willful, and independent. A long ther relationship is what I am looking for, and hope that you are looking for the same. Life throws many things at us every day. I deal with all that comes my way with patience and humor. We can share in everything that life gives us, and maybe even give direction to things. Will you be that person? If nothing else, we each may find a new friend in our lives.

Marine Corps Gazette
Marine Corps Gazette is a professional journal for U.S. Marines founded in 1916 at Marine Corps Base Quantico for members of the United States Marine Corps. Begun by then Col John A. Lejeune as the vehicle to launch the Marine Corps Association (MCA), the journal is known as "The Professional Journal of U.S. Marines". Today the MCA continues to publish the Gazette alongside Leatherneck Magazine.
The Gazette's mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas that will advance knowledge, interest, and esprit in the Marine Corps. The Gazette also is a vehicle for the dissemination of military art and science among Marines. Readers contribute most of the articles. Readers are invited to debate important issues facing the Marine Corps through a combination of solicitation for articles and writing contests.
Originally published quarterly from 1916 through 1942, the Gazette transitioned to a bi-monthly cycle in 1943 and then monthly in 1944. Active duty Marines staffed the journal until a change of law in 1976 prompted the Gazette to rely on retired Marines and civilians for publication.
Notable editors[edit]
- Oliver P. Smith - The commander of the 1st Marine Division at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War was editor-in-chief from March 1946 – April 1948.
- Edwin H. Simmons – Known as "the collective memory of the Marine Corps", Brigadier General Simmons was the managing editor from October 1946 – September 1949, with a brief stint as editor and publisher in early 1947.
The current editor-in-chief is John A. Keenan.

In honor of the 15th anniversary of Monday Night RAW, the WWE has released this CD featuring 17 tracks representing the best wrestler theme songs from the show. All of the songs, with the exception of two that have writing credits given to WWE performers, are at least co-written by Jim Johnston.
Listening to this CD was a nice walk back through time, although a majority of the songs can still be heard on either RAW or SmackDown today. The most notable thing to me was that Triple H has three different theme songs on this CD. It got me to thinking that in his time in the WWE, he has had a lot of theme songs and you might even be able to make a compilation CD out of only his theme songs. This bothered me, so I had to figure out just how many he has had. According to Wrestling Information Archive, they list seven theme songs. However, that list is missing at least one song, The Kings by Run DMC. If anyone knows the answer to how many theme songs he has had, please email me because it has been bothering me for the past few days.
This CD is a nice compilation of most of the famous theme songs of wrestlers over the past few years. My biggest gripe with the CD is that it is less than an hour long. I would have liked to have seen a few more songs on the disc. The other problem with this CD is that since all of the songs have been written by WWE employees, there are no songs written by those outside of the company which could have been on this CD. As an example, Edge's current theme and several of the Undertaker's theme songs over the years have been excluded because of this reason.
As far as buying this CD, if you are a collector of theme songs, you probably already own most of these songs and should just go to iTunes to get the few you don't already have. If you have never bought a WWE CD before, this would be a good one to start your collection off with.

DEERFIELD — Between getting a last-minute long-term contract extension at the outset of the campaign and suffering through myriad nagging injuries, Bulls reserve big man Taj Gibson experienced highs and lows during the 2012-13 season.
But despite being unable to repeat his 2012 participation in USA Basketball's Select Team mini-camp this past summer — at which Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau, an assistant coach for the national team, was present — due to a July ankle injury, the affable Gibson is determined not to let that derail his upcoming season.
"I was laid up for quite a while. It was frustrating because I missed USA (camp). I was training for that hard. It's one of those things where you have to put the team first," he explained recently. "I sat out, but as soon as it happened, I went out to (Athlete's Performance, the California facility where teammate Derrick Rose rehabilitated from ACL surgery) and worked with Jen (Swanson, the Bulls' newly-hired director of athletic performance and a former employee at the aforementioned facility) and I got to working right away with Derrick, just strength and conditioning."
[MORE: Butler excited about backcourt pairing with Rose]
The injury sidelined Gibson, temporarily interrupting his offseason workout plans, but he insists that he's back to his normal, high-energy self on the floor as the Bulls proceed with training camp.
"(Gibson was sidelined for) a couple of weeks because that (cortisone) shot was really painful. I didn't expect the shot to be so painful. But they said it would take some time, and everything is OK right now," he said. "(Gibson began working out again) probably last month. It was really hard to cut on it, there was a lot of swelling. It went down. Thibs really kept track of it, Jen really kept track on it, and it's been great. "
Even with his ankle bothering him, Gibson was still able to get in the weight room and added additional strength to help him battle in the paint this season.
"I bulked up a little bit more. Being in the playoffs the last couple of years, it gets more and more physical. I bulked up, put on a ton of weight. I mostly went out (to LA), lifted, worked out with Derrick. I'm 240 pounds now, just trying to build confidence. I know the plays, know the offense, I know players' strong suits. Just confidence, once you get confidence in this league, you take off. It's all about confidence," he explained. "To start the summer, I was about 225 or something like that. Thibs came out to California and watched me work out. He was a little bit worried about my weight. He didn't want me to get kind of fat. He wanted me to be lean, more muscle, and it's been great. These two days of practice have been fun and great, just learning a lot of new things. It's been fun."
[RELATED: Chicago native Rose talks 1-on-1 vs. Jordan]
Known more for being one of the better interior defenders in the league, Gibson also used the summer to extend his shooting range to beyond the arc from the corners, though with the likes of Rose and new backcourt partner Jimmy Butler, All-Star small forward Luol Deng, veteran reserve guard Kirk Hinrich, offseason acquisition Mike Dunleavy Jr. and even rookie stretch four Erik Murphy, it's hard to envision him being one of the Bulls' primary three-point shooting options. Still, if it translates to Gibson becoming a more consistent mid-range jump-shooter from the elbows and baseline, two of the spots where he tends to get open opportunities, it will be a plus.
"The coaches wanted me to do it. It's all about Derrick wanting me to shoot it, confidence. One thing I've noticed, when you bulk up, things tend to get a little easier. Right now, I'm just focused on what things I can do to help the team and how to find my niche here and there. It's been great, knowing you have Derrick and Hinrich out there, guys that are really knowing where you want the ball and figuring out how to get you the ball," he explained. "It's great. I'm getting the same good looks I used to get in the past. My corner jump shot has been fantastic these last two days. Just how (Rose has) been finding guys and guys been finding each other, it's just magnificent.
"I can't lie, it's been fun."
[MORE: Rose increasingly eager to make return to the court]
Thibodeau has utilized Gibson with the starting lineup in training-camp scrimmages, allowing him to play next to Joakim Noah, as well as reprise his role as center when he's on the floor with Carlos Boozer.
"We've kept him with the first unit. He has had an opportunity to play with Jo and Carlos. I've liked that. It's worked out well with those three on the first unit together," the coach said. "Mike Dunleavy has been on the first unit as well. Kirk, too. That's been good for us."
Regardless of who he's playing with, Gibson is excited about the potential of this healthy Bulls team.
"It's a lot easier now. We got mostly everybody back. We have 'Captain Kirk' back. He's on the second unit now, and he's one of the guys I have a lot of chemistry with, especially in these last two days of practice. It's been great. The way Thibs is running practice, we're basically all on one team. Mostly me, Mike and Kirk, but mostly on the same team as the starters, so we get the same kind of reps, same kind of confidence and same kind of looks on shots. It's great playing with Derrick, and it's been fun," he said. We really haven't skipped a beat. We've been kind of up and down on defense a little bit, but that's the first couple of days. Guys are going to figure that out. Guys are still familiar with the plays, familiar with the offense. It's about guys getting more in condition and we'll be okay.
"Just get back to the basics, just let the game come to me, especially with Derrick out there, Kirk Hinrich. Just shoot the ball with confidence, take my normal looks. But just have confidence, be out there with more confidence. We have a goal and whatever it takes, just go out there and play my game," Gibson continued. "It's going to be exciting to see some live competition. Right now, especially in the preseason, it's about guys getting confidence, guys getting their look, ready for the season, conditioned. That's the main thing.
"It's mostly just conditioning and really practicing that game pace that we have during the regular season. It was a beast. I'm not going to lie and I'm in great shape, but it (the Bulls' weekend two-a-day sessions) was a beast."

Indigo Child: In Concert
The Parlour House
Friday, August 1, 2014 from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM (PDT)
Encompassing many styles under the umbrella of music, Chicago's resident Art Rocker Sonny Apollo will present his LA debut show, "Indigo Child" August 1st.
After teasing his debut solo effort since the summer of 2013, when he would release his promotional single "Die Young" to unexpected international attention and acclaim- steady airplay in Brazil, France, Australia, and Estonia- Apollo takes listeners on what he says is an "aural excursion" in which at the core, according to Sonny is a "rebirth." Sonny's debut effort varies in themes of Psychadelia ("Imagine Me"), to self-reliance ("Crocodile Tears"), and abuse ("You Could Do Better").
Sonny Apollo endorsed by Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls as "The Special One" and Craig White -of The Sound of Philadelphia fame with Gamble and Huff in the 70's and 80's- as "A Young Maurice White" is a singer, songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, bandleader, and pianist. Ranging in influences of Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Aerosmith, David Bowie, Tina Turner, and Alicia Keys, Sonny channels his influences into a project that earns him the distinction of being a craftsman. Reviewers of Sonny's music have held his output to acclaim and noted that he carries the torch of Blues and Rock making them accessible to a new generation, while also comparing him favorably to Lenny Kravitz.
Indigo Child will be supported by Sonny's backing band VOYAGER. The limited engagement series will hit Los Angeles at the famed playground of The Doors, among other classic rock groups, The Whiskey A Go-Go. Sonny has built a steady reputation for his live shows which blend his love for the visual, the theatrical, and the sonic.
Rounding out Voyager is Sunshine Thelonious Jax Apollo on Vocals, Keyboards, and Direction; Mouse on Lead Guitar, Niche The Attack on Bass Guitar; Mireles on Rhythm Guitar; BMoore on Saxophone; and Gasca on the drumset.
"Gypsy Fire" available May 26th.

Gas mowers are typically the most powerful type of mower, but they also require the most maintenace because of the engine. Electric mowers are bound by a cord and may need an extension cord for larger lawns. They typically have less power than gas mowers, but require less maintenance and create much less polution. Battery powered mowers combine the environmental benefit of electric mowers and the maneuverability of gas mowers; their power is comparable to electric mowers.

Push mowers constitute the majority of lawn mowers as they are guided by the user pushing the mower from behind. Tow Behind mowers can be attached to the back of a tractor or ATV and are best used for much larger areas. Reel mowers are manually powered by pushing and engaging a spinning cylinder of blades. Riding mowers are great for larger lawns and provide the operator a seat on the mower and controls.

Hi, my name is Neal, but not too many people...
Hi, my name is Neal, but not too many people call me that. To my Mom & Dad, I'm Nealu, the youngest of their two boys. Although my older brother may not agree, I think it's clear that I'm the favorite. My brother has a bunch of nicknames for me that aren't always appropriate. He's only a year and half older than me, so we grew up together and are very close. In most ways, we're complete opposites but it's what makes us better together. Where I lack, he generally excels and the few places that he doesn't, I tend to come through. My brother is the typical "Good Kid" and works with my Dad in our family businesses (Banking & Travel). He's married to my sister in law, Mona. Luckily for me, we get along really well and together we're "Ne-Mo". It's sometimes odd how much we have in common (food, tv shows, movies & corny jokes). She's an elementary school teacher here in Dallas and is also my "personal stylist". She is more than happy to spend hours at the mall and helping me coordinate "my look" :) Work is probably the only place where people call me Neal. When I first graduated from The University of Texas (Austin) I worked in Investment Banking and I am now at an Oil & Energy Exploration company heading up the Finance Department. As of now, my job has me traveling around the world every few weeks so I thought it would be good to start meeting girls outside of my area. The Airport might be the only place where I am called by my real name, Nealesh (It's on my passport). I've been lucky enough to travel to some pretty amazing places and am always looking forward to my next vacation. In my free time I like to try new restaurants, run (I've done a few races and 10ks) play basketball and football and relax with friends and family on the weekends. I've been pretty focused on setting up my life and I realize that I need to make an effort to meet a good girl to settle down with at some point in the future. Hopefully I'll be able to meet someone great that just fits perfectly into my life, but I realize that more than likely, I'll have to make adjustments as well, and I am more than willing to do so for the right person. If everything works out, hopefully we can work on a good nickname. :) I'm basically just looking for a good person with ambition and a strong sense of who they are. I like a confident girl and I'll admit, once in a while I like to be pampered :) I feel like I've written the beginning of my autobiography. I'd love to meet some new people and see where things go. Feel free to message/email me. - Neal Also I just discovered I am an INTJ, which is strangely accurate.

Looking for something to do as the winter semester comes to an end? Come and play intramural volleyball at the IMSB! Played with six (6) players on each team, this sport allows time for socialization and fitness among its participants. Teams compete using rally scoring to send the ball over the net and onto the floor on their opponent's side of the net.
Ready... Set... DODGEBALL! Intramual Dodgeball is a team sport with six players competing to knock the opposing six out of the game. Catching one's ball or hitting one with a thrown ball will eliminate opponents, and take you to ultimate dodgeball glory.
Volleyball with walls. As if the sport couldn't get any tougher, Wallyball is very similar to volleyball, but walls are in play (except the back wall). Join a team of four on the racquetball courts and come ready for some intense action!
Tired of playing pickup basketball? Intramural basketball is an officiated game of five-on-five basketball, with three weeks of regular season. Then, a playoff tournament determines who wins the highly sought after Intramual Champion t-shirts.
As the popular alternative to tackle football, flag football is a team sport consisting of seven players on each side. Instead of tackling, players must remove the flag belt of their opponent in order to end a play. Fast-paced and unorthodox, flag football challenges players to think outside the box.
Taking the place of hockey, Intramural Broomball has served as the primary game on ice for University of Michigan students for several years. A team sport played with 'brooms,' participants get the chance to play on the famous Yost Ice... in their shoes.
Don't have enough people to field a full team? 3-on-3 Basketball combines the conveniency of pickup basketball with the intensity of Intramural t-shirt competition. Come play and compete in games up to 30 to determine who has the best 3-man team.
Intramural Tennis can be played in either singles or doubles format, with single-sex and co-rec leagues. Although we can assure you that no one has ever beaten a wall at tennis, it is certainly possible to win an IM Tennis Champion shirt.
Kickball is a team sport made up of eight players. As a playground game, kickball resembles many of the rules you will see in baseball but with one exception, players use their legs rather than a bat. With no real equipment necessary besides an inflatable ball, this great game can be understood and enjoyed with ease.
We know. You're looking for that extra fix of hockey on campus, because watching the Wolverines and playing IM Broomball just isn't enough. Luckily we have Floor Hockey, a four-on-four indoor hockey game played on sneakers and with no pads.

Mistakes prove to be costly for the Bobcats
HUNTSVILLE - Refugio coach Jason Herring spent the week leading up to Saturday night's Class 2A Division II state semifinal against Daingerfield making sure the Bobcats knew the importance of keeping turnovers to a minimum.
Nothing worked out as planned, unfortunately.
The Tigers took advantage of four Refugio turnovers, two fumbles and two interceptions, to post a 35-10 victory at Sam Houston State's Elliott H. Bowers Stadium. Daingerfield converted three of those takeaways into touchdowns all coming in a 28-point second quarter that started with the Bobcats holding a 3-0 lead.
"You can't make a single mistake against Daingerfield," said Herring, whose team finished its season at 14-1. "I told them all week we can't afford to have a turnover, much less three or four."
As a result, Daingerfield (14-1) is making its seventh appearance in a state championship game. The Region III champion Tigers will face Region I representative Bushland, a 42-34 winner over Callisburg, sometime next week.
Refugio took a 3-0 lead on a 26-yard field goal by Jhostan Padron with 7 minutes, 46 seconds left in the second quarter. Daingerfield responded by driving 58 yards in four plays, the last of those a 3-yard touchdown run by quarterback Tyler Boyd.
B.J. Johnson's extra point gave the Tigers a 7-3 advantage with 6:03 left before halftime, which didn't turn out so well for the Bobcats.
Daingerfield's Garrett Hughes intercepted Jourdan Ortiz four plays into Refugio's next drive. It took only two plays for the Tigers to reach the end zone after Boyd broke free for a 41-yard scoring run.
Johnson added the extra point to put Daingerfield ahead 14-3 with 3:10 left in the second quarter. The Tigers picked off another pass on the first play from scrimmage when the Bobcats got the ball back, this time with linebacker Steve Edmond snagging an errant throw by Aaron Perez.
Daingerfield turned the interception into a five-play, 20-yard scoring drive capped by running back KoKo Smith's 10-yard touchdown run. Another extra point by Johnson made it a 21-3 lead for the Tigers with 1:18 left before halftime.
Refugio's subsequent drive again lasted only one play after Daingerfield linebacker Billy Walker pounced on a fumble by Draigon Silvas. The Tigers scored again with 44 seconds left in the second quarter on a 2-yard run by University of Texas commit Chris Jones.
Johnson's extra point gave Daingerfield a 28-3 lead and the momentum heading into the locker room.
"The defense came together and started communicating," Jones said. "After that we were able to make some plays."
The mood on the Refugio sideline was much different.
"We just kept telling them to keep fighting," said Herring, who is 40-3 in three seasons at Refugio. "There's not anything a coach can say. They are just so explosive and can score on any given play."

I've long held the opinion that a large part of Wonder Woman's inability to garner greater acclaim or sales is that she has few, if any, iconic foes, especially in the eyes of the non-comic reading public. My proposal to DC would be to take fairly well known femme fatales (better known, at least, than Cheetah or Circe), and make them the primary antagonists in future Wonder Woman tales. My proposals for specific characters follow, but I am hoping to here additional ideas from all of you as well.
4) Fatality
3) Talia al Ghul and Lady Shiva
2) Isis
1) Granny Goodness and the Female Furies

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what kind of software they've used/seen used successfully for an open tournament? Here's our scenario:
My alma mater (high school) runs a large annual tournament with 3 divisions (6/7th, 8/9th, 9-12th) and the only pre-entries we have are the home wrestlers. We normally have about 600 entries, sometimes more.. And it's ran on 10 mats. We usually hand bracket the tourney but that takes +/- 10 people and there always seems to be a screw-up somewhere that forces a kid to be 1 and done, or not be eligible for a medal even though he should be.
I'm wondering, is there any software that could negate this? We hand-write out the bout sheets and the weigh-in cards. The weigh-in cards are not a priority, but the bout sheets are. We have access to 3 laptops, either PC's or Mac's and can purchase a legitimate high-end laser printer for the bout sheets. However, I don't know anything about networking them all together, which seems to be required for trackwrestling.
The two options I've seen: Trackwrestling and BrownBagData's software.
We will have limited access to the internet, so I don't know if trackwrestling has downloadable software or not. We would also want to be able to keep the software because it's a year in-year out kind of tournament. Plus they host their own invitational later in the year and usually a regional or Dual State tournament as well.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi guys. I'm an uncloseted (i.e., gay) poet and singer-songwriter from San Diego, California in my late 20s/soon-to-be early 30s. I'm charmed by words, tacos, tattoos, slasher flicks and fight sports. I've written a couple of poetry e-books, nothing too serious. And I'm gonna be introducing my very first (ever) set of zines at the end of the month. I love, love, LOVE to write (I take photos of my personal journal for my Tumblr page) and meet new people. Gay, Straight, Male, Female, everyone's cool. Wanna be my pen pal? Send me an e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) and I can send my snail mail address, or we can be e-pals, whichever. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 20, and a Junior at William Paterson University, where I am majoring in English-Writing. My favorite hobbies are reading and writing; I've completed a short novel and a script for a graphic novel, and a plethora of stories, poems, essays, and scripts for cartoons and comix. I also "edit" a satirical zine called Strangury.Though I read a wide variety of authors (Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, H.C. Anderson, Albert Camus, etc.) I prefer the sci-fi and fantasy genres, particularly P.K. Dick, Stephen King, Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany and more. I used to make an art/lit zine with my friends, but we more-or-less quit when we went to college. I'm obsessed with the concept of snail mail, and I love connecting with other creative people, so having the opportunity to achieve both, I'm rather excited. I'd very much like to correspond, trade, collaborate, etc.
Hit me up at email@example.com

a super volcano of ridonkulous suckitude.
I simply don't have access to a "cares about RBI" place in my psyche. There is a "mildly curious about OBI%" alcove just before the acid filled lake guarded by robot snipers with lasers which leads to the "cares about RBI" antechamber though. - Nate
I doubt even Duncan can turn this head case around. Let's face it his attitude problem is the real reason he was still sitting at home on March 13. I can't wait to see Lohse and Larussa go at it for the first time, that is what will be really priceless.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Rotoworld says it's a 1 yr 4.25 Mil. deal
Remember folk on this board (including me) thinking Lohse would fetch anywhere from 3 yrs/21M in FA?
I didn't realize Fogg could be cut. GAC makes a good point. I guess we did okay with Fogg. I just think Lohse will be solid in STL and I really was hoping we copuld benefit when he puts it all together.
It's funny how smart Duncan was in "fixing" pitchers when the Cards boasted superb fielding and great hitting.
Suddenly,the great fielding is gone, the Cards can't hit, and guys like Wells,Reyes and Maroth lose, lose and lose some more.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.

TFS as Springboard to Agility
Individuals and Interactions are undoubtedly more valuable than processes and tools, but many organizations have had success using Visual Studio and TFS to implement an agile transformation.

Prices of new homes in Israel are down, Housing Ministry report says

4 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Software Developer III Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at USAA in March 2011.
First an online application, then a phone interview, followed by a face to face interview in front of a panel of 2 managers. Questions were easy, mainly behavioral questions, very few (but easy) technical questions.

Software Developer III InterviewNo OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at USAA in April 2010.
You get a phone interview, dinner interview, and x on 1 interview. They set you up with air fare, one night stay at a hotel, and a shuttle to and from the hotel. It's a shuttle bus not a limo. The dinner interview is you sitting down with your competition and some USAA reps. Next day you meet up with everyone around 6am and the shuttle takes you to USAA. You get the interview done early, around 9am and the rest of the day is you walking around the building. They do give you breakfast and lunch. The day ends around 2pm or 3pm.
Interview Questions

Software Developer III InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week – interviewed at USAA.
When I first went the had the initial interview with a large group of candidates at Pappasitos. The kind of interview that you aren't suppose to know is an interview but that's obviously a behavioral one. Then I meet with two managers for the second part of the interview. Where they ask all the standard what are you skills and what was the most challenging thing you have had to deal with. But to be honest I probably asked them more questions than they asked me.
Interview Questions
- There honestly weren't any difficult questions. but that's changed. I would be prepared to answer a few coding questions these days. Answer Question
there was none. They offered me more than Toyota did at the time and I was happy.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at USAA (Plano, TX) in March 2014.
The process took about 2 and a half weeks. Met them at the career fair and was invited to dinner at a fancy restaurant. Had an on campus interview the next day which took about an hour. About half of the interview was behavioral questions and the other half were design questions.
I got invited out for a final interview at USAA in Plano. It lasted around 5 hours plus lunch. They went over benefits packages and the company vision, etc. Another 1 hour interview same as the first one. Felt good about the interview and they made me feel like I was getting a job. Got a rejection email 3 to 4 days later.

YIELD: Serves 8
For sauce:
Chop tomatoes in processor. Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until soft (do not brown), about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, then tomatoes, basil and salt. Simmer until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
For filling:
Beat ricotta in medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Mix in 1 cup Romano cheese, eggs, prosciutto and minced fresh parsley.
For Crepes:
Mix eggs and water in blender. Add flour and blend batter until smooth. Let stand 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
Heat crepe pan or heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Brush pan lightly with olive oil. Remove pan from heat. Stir batter and ladle 2 tablespoons into corner of pan, tilting so batter just coats bottom. Return excess batter to bowl. Cook crepe until bottom is set (do not brown), about 5 seconds. Loosen edges with knife. Turn crepe and cook until second side is set (do not brown), about 5 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter, stirring occasionally. (Can be prepared ahead. Layer crepes between sheets of waxed paper and cool completely. Wrap tightly and refrigerate 3 days or freeze 1 month. Bring to room temperature before using.)
For Assembly:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons filling down center of crepe. Place 1 mozzarella strip atop filling. Fold both sides of crepe over filling. Arrange seam side down in large baking dish. Repeat with remaining filling and crepes. (Can be prepared ahead. Cover crepes and sauce separately and refrigerate 1 day or freeze up to 2 weeks. Bring crepes to room temperature before baking. Rewarm sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally.)
Stir whole basil leaves into sauce. Pour sauce over crepes. Sprinkle lightly with additional Romano cheese. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until heated through, about 35 minutes.

When we published our free B.O.R.E.D. printable last week I told you we'd be following up with some posts on how to help your kids carry out the different tasks. Today we're addressing R – read a book with the help of the non-profit Raising a Reader.
They're hooking us up with some really solid ideas on how to keep kids reading this summer and how to use the time to instill a love of reading that will last a lifetime. According to Gabrielle Miller, Ed.D., national executive director of Raising A Reader:
"It is important to instill a love of books in children at an early age and introduce reading as a pleasurable experience. One way to do this is to establish a regular home-based literacy program that is independent of school, and the summer is a perfect time to start."
Sounds like some sage advice to me – let's raise us some readers, shall we? Here's how…
Put it on the Schedule
- Reading often gets lost in the shuffle of summer activities such as camp, sports and vacation travel. Schedule a regular time to share books with your child and establish a regular routine to ensure reading doesn't become a low priority and has the same importance as other activities.
Read the Book, Watch the Movie
- If your child wants to see a summer blockbuster movie that is based on a book, read the book with your child first and then let them see the movie as a reward. This also works well with popular movies on DVD. Engage your child in discussions about differences or similarities between the book and the movie.
Take it Outside
- Create an outdoor reading area so the while family can enjoy the summer weather and not feel stuck inside. Children generally read indoors, so being outdoors will create a new environment for enjoying a book and boost a child's enthusiasm for reading.
Bring it to Life
- Find books that are centered on summer activities he or she enjoys. If your child likes to go horseback riding, for example, find books about horses or stories with horses as an integral part of the plot. This will give a child a welcome change from the types of books read during the school year and better complement their summer.
Research Your Adventures
- If you are taking a trip, read books about your destination with your child before you leave. Do some "research" with them on the location and find things in the area they want to do while visiting.
Take "Reading Breaks"
- If you are taking your kids somewhere for the day, such as a pool, the beach, a picnic or the zoo, pack a book to share and have a reading break or two during day. After an hour or so in the water, your child may enjoy 30 minutes of reading on a comfortable chair or even floating on a raft.
Create a Summer Reading Challenge
- We're going to have another awesome MPMK printable for you very soon to help with this one! The whole family can use it and participate in earning rewards together. When a book is through, be sure to engage your child in a discussion about the book, talk about what they liked and ask thought-provoking questions such as coming up with a different ending or a new character.
Thanks so much to Raising A Reader for the help and for ideas on which books to read this summer, be sure to check out all of our in-house children's librarian's picks over on the book nook.
Raising A Reader is a 501c3 charitable organization dedicated to helping families develop, practice and maintain literacy habits for children ages 0-8 that are critical for a child's success in school and in life. The Raising A Reader program is implemented through a network of community partners that comprise more than 2,500 locations across the country.
Partners include public school systems, libraries, afterschool programs, community agencies and other organizations both public and private. Headquartered in Redwood City, Calif., Raising A Reader was founded in 1999 and has served more than 1.25 million families nationwide. More information is available at www.RaisingAReader.org.

Arizona Cardinals
Ken Whisenhunt's statement upon being relieved of duties
Coaching the Cardinals has been an incredible and rewarding experience and I will always be grateful to Mr. Bidwill, Michael and Rod for giving me that opportunity back in 2007.
I'm very proud of what we as a team and as an organization achieved during that time. Collectively we accomplished some very special and unprecedented things. That's a testament to the dedication, hard work and talent of so many coaches, players and people throughout the organization.
But we all understand this business and when you don't win enough games changes are made. That doesn't mean it's easy but you definitely don't have to look far to find people that have it much worse.
I want to especially thank Cardinals fans who treated my family and me so well and made our time in Arizona so special.
While this chapter ends for us, we are hopeful that the ones ahead of us will be as enriching as this one has been.
