Mimiko criticised for appointing Ajimuda as OSOPADEC chair
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State has criticised the government for endorsing the appointment of Mr Debo Ajimuda as the Chairman of the State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (OSOPADEC).
The party noted that there was an ulterior motive behind the appointment.
It said Ajimuda was the least qualified among several Ilaje indigenes for the position.
Its Chairman, Prince Akin Esanmore-Okadigbo, spoke in Igbokoda, headquarters of the oil-rich local government, at a reception organised for a former Special Adviser to the Governor on Planning and Strategy, Saka Lawal, and his entourage.
Lawal used the occasion to mobilise support for the ACN and the party's progressive ideology among the youths.
Esanmore-Okadigbo noted that Lawal's visit was the first in Ilaje to be attended a large crowd.
He said such an impressive crowd did not welcome Governor Olusegun Mimiko when he visited the area.
The ACN chairman described the governor's endorsement of Ajimuda for the OSOPADEC top job as "callous" to the Ilaje people.
He said: "Ajimuda, by all standards, is not qualified to hold any sensitive political position or even be saddled with the responsibility that is beyond a mere councillor.
"But to our chagrin, Mimiko picked him as his candidate for the sensitive position, leaving other eminently qualified Ilaje from the running of the affairs of our commission.
"Today, we have seen the reason Ajimuda was Mimiko's preferred choice as OSOPADEC chairman: he has been used as a conduit pipe to loot and siphon over N61billion of the amount budgeted for the development of Ilaje land."
Esanmore-Okadigbo described Lawal's governorship ambition as Ilajes' aspiration. He noted that over the years, Lawal has proved that he is an outstanding and reliable politician.
The ACN chairman said the Ilaje would back him and ensure that he succeeds in his aspiration.
Welcoming over 1,000 defectors to ACN, Lawal thanked the people of Ilaje for their support and encouragement to the party and to him.
He said: "I want you to join us by praying for ACN. Please, go on your knees and tell God to help us to replace Labour Party (LP) with an ACN candidate, who will have the milk of human kindness flowing in his veins and also mobilise more members for our party."
He said he was visiting Ilaje to seek the people's support for ACN as the only party that would restore their dignity and redress the economic tragedy that has befallen them in the last three years.
Lawal urged the defectors, mainly from Ugbo Ward 1 and Mahin Ward 3, to remain in the ACN light, having left the LP darkness.
Some of the defectors are: Ehinmore Alfred, Mekuleyi Olabode, Ikumesan Taiwo, Mamuwumi Jaye, Asakasiki Jolaad, Ayadi Banji, Albert Taiwo, Ehinmowo Rotimi.
Others are: David Tekobo, Akinruntan Niyi, Ewajana Obalola, Omoyele Aleba, Akintimehin Oluwagbaju, Iseoluwa Ikuesan, Ilumalero Orator, Ogunfeyimi Sola and Oluwole Nejo.
Members of the Akwa Ibom Welfare Association in Igbokoda also joined the ACN.
Lawal visited some Ilaje monarchs, chiefs and leaders with his entourage. With him were: Otito Atikase, former Member Ondo State House Assembly, Jeff Abidoye, Oluwole Monehin-Obesere, Gbenga Adenodi.
Other Ilajes leaders at the event were Senior Apostle/Prophet Malato, Most Rev. S.O. Ayodele, Mr Nibe Tawose, Super Ekuesan, Comrade Ayodeji Aganmayo, the ACN Youth Leader in Ilaje local government and the Women's Leader.

Virginia firm wins $155.8M contract to manage Memphis postal center
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Postal Service has awarded a 10-year contract, potentially costing $155.8 million, to a Virginia company to support the Memphis-based National Customer Support Center.
Electronic Consulting Services of Fairfax, Va., will manage the center at 6060 Primary Parkway. The center handles the Address Management System which enables the USPS to deliver mail quickly and efficiently. The company would be responsible for the managing the national address database and operating a secure change of address system, among other things.
The contract was announced today. No postal workers will be displaced.
The original January 2010 solicitation for the services sought indicated the successful contractor would staff the center with employees able to attain "a sensitive security clearance," who would be employees of the contractor, not the USPS.
USPS national spokesman Roy Betts, a native of Memphis, said ECS will employ the 206 employees now operating the center managed by contractor Northrop Grumman. Thirteen USPS management employees also work at the center.
In January, the postal service announced it was eliminating the Southeast Area Office and its 120 jobs on Humphreys Boulevard as part of an effort to eliminate 7,500 administrative jobs across the country.
That shake up was attributed to a sharp drop in mail volume as e-mail, facsimile transmission and private next-day delivery services cut into the traditional postal delivery service.

Home runs by Giants pound Padres
No. 4 on the all-time list is Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith, who had 32 straight hitless at-bats from April 5-13, 1979.
Hudson had seven strikeouts during the streak and has drawn two walks with three runs scored.
On the at-bat following his single, Hudson grounded into a double play.
Bass seeking innings
When the Padres broke camp last spring, Anthony Bass was projected to throw 160 innings for Double-A San Antonio this season.
But plans have a way of going awry in baseball.
On July 1, Bass went from the Missions rotation to the Padres bullpen.
And although he has been effective in the Padres bullpen, the 23-year-old right-hander is going to fall well short of the 160-inning target.
Bass has pitched a total of 104 2/3 innings thus far – 35 with the Padres and 69 2/3 with San Antonio.
So he will make four or five starts in the Arizona Fall League.
"They want me to get my innings up to near where they projected," said Bass, who has a 2.03 ERA in 23 appearances (one start) with the Padres. "It really works out for me.
"The Fall League starts right after the end of the regular season so there won't be a lay-off. I will still be fresh."
Padres notes
--Center fielder Cameron Maybin has been picked off in two of the past three games.
--Padres manager Bud Black said right fielder Will Venable will likely be back in the lineup Tuesday night against Matt Cain. "His sore shoulder is much improved," said Black.
--Third baseman Chase Headley took his first live batting practice Monday night since suffering a fracture to his right little finger on Aug. 6.
--First baseman Anthony Rizzo slightly turned an ankle when he stepped in a hole while leaving the batter's box on a pinch-hit grounder in the ninth.

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 2/23/12
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) Royals catcher Manny Pina will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and could miss the rest of spring training. Pina hurt the knee Wednesday when he twisted to catch a foul tip in batting practice. Manager Ned Yost said Thursday that Pina would return to Kansas City, where surgery will be performed. The 24-year-old from Venezuela was competing with Brayan Pena to be the backup to starting catcher Salvador Perez. Pina made his big league debut last season, hitting .214 over the course of four games in August. He hit .238 in 68 games with Triple-A Omaha. In other news, left-hander Jose Mijares could arrive in camp soon after working out visa issues in Venezuela. The Royals had not been in contact with him for several days, but Yost said Mijares had simply been out of cell-phone service while taking care of family issues.

Internally, is used to promote and support normal metabolism and blood cleansing, which can also lead to overall improvement of the skin as it is regarded as tonic for both the liver and kidneys (malfunctioning of these organ can lead in many cases, to skin problems). By far, the most popular use for Canchalagua in Peru is for its blood cleansing effect and as a digestive remedy. It is a highly regarded and respected herbal remedy for these purposes. Since circulating blood toxins are associated in a variety of skin problems, it is commonly relied on for both juvenile and adult acne, dermatitis and eczema.

You see your skin every day, but how closely do you really look at it? Do you examine it regularly for suspicious-looking body moles or facial moles, or for any unusual or changing patches of skin? If you don't already check your skin for changes, the considered advice of skin cancer experts is start today.
Facial Moles and Body Moles: Why a Skin Examination Is Important
Your doctor should check each year to look for any of the warning signs of skin cancer. But part of a healthy skin care regimen should also include a monthly self-examination. A regular and thorough examination can allow you to spot any pre-cancerous or cancerous growths at an early stage. And the sooner you catch skin cancer, the better your odds of treating it successfully.
If you don't make a habit of checking your skin because you think skin cancer can't happen to you, think again. The most common type of cancer is skin cancer, and the number of people affected rises each year.
How to Check Your Skin for Facial Moles and Body Moles
Once a month, stand in a brightly lit room in front of a full-length mirror and look closely at your skin. (You can also ask your partner to check for facial and body moles with you so that you can scan each other's bodies.)
- Start with the front of your body. Examine your face, ears, neck, and throat.
- Inspect your chest (women should lift up their breasts and check the undersides). Look at the armpits, the tops and bottoms of the arms, and the hands and fingers. Don't forget to check fingernails and the skin between your fingers.
- Sit on a chair to examine the tops of your thighs, the front of your legs, and your feet. Don't forget the toenails and the skin between your toes.
- Using a hand mirror, start at the bottom and check the back of your body. Inspect the soles of your feet, the backs of your legs and thighs, genitals, and buttocks.
- Examine your upper and lower back, shoulders, and the back of your neck.
- Last, don't forget your hairline and scalp. A hairbrush or hair dryer can help move hair so that you can see every area of your scalp.
Body Moles and Skin Cancer: What to Look For
To spot the warning signs of skin cancer, it's important to be able to tell the difference between a normal, healthy mole and a potentially cancerous facial mole or body mole. You're checking your skin for three main types of skin cancer: basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma.
- Basal cell carcinomas may be flat or slightly raised, have a reddish or pink tint, and often appear shiny. This type of skin cancer is usually found on the face, neck, hands or arms.
- Squamous cell carcinomas look like scaly, crusty bumps in the skin. They may also start out as a smooth patch of red skin.
- Body moles or facial moles that indicate melanoma may be asymmetrical, have jagged edges, contain several colors, and often tend to be larger than a pencil eraser. You may also notice bleeding after minor irritation of these moles. "A healthy mole is uniform in color and symmetric, while an atypical mole is multi-colored, rapidly growing, and it bleeds," says Mary C. Martini, MD, director of the Pigmented Lesion and Melanoma Clinic at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
If you notice any changes in your skin or in any body or facial moles, tell your doctor and promptly schedule a skin examination.
Once you've gotten into the habit of checking each month, it will be easy to spot any changes and potential warning signs of skin cancer. Before you know it, you'll be an expert on your skin, and will be able to consult your doctor as soon as you find any suspicious facial moles or body moles.

This is our second stay here. You can't beat its location right on the Tennessee River and very close to all of Florence's amenities. But I disagree with other review about "spacious" sites. Most sites, in our view, are narrow with little room to set up chairs, etc. The back in sites are left side back-ins so your "patio" area is exposed to the passing traffic. But backing in is easier! Nevertheless, we like this campground and the host was very pleasant! No wifi, good satellite TV if located on the western edge of the campground. - rncordy

Read August 2014's review of a very accurate description of the park. My review and the rating is based on the horrendous bathrooms! The men's commode seat is so bad, it is flaking. Multiple fragments of bars of soap remain in the soap dish. The wife and I refused to use their bathroom or shower. Fortunately, we had our own. If you do not have a bathroom, just know they only have one toilet and urinal in one bathhouse (men's side). The park is absolutely beautiful! But if we did not have our own RV bathroom, we would not stay at this park for that single reason. We have stayed at many COE,State and other parks and this is by far the worst bathroom facility we have witnessed in a campground to be "governement" operated and maintained. - D_from_TN

This is a really nice park, the sites are large and roomy and all seem to be paved. There are concrete picnic tables at every site. The grass is kept mowed. It's right on the Tennessee River so you can watch the boat traffic. It is a city maintained park, there is a marina and a small beach nearby. They do have showers and restrooms...the showers are pushbutton and the temp is not adjustable. Now for the bad part. The women's rest room and showers were NOT clean. There were old bars of soap melting in the soap dishes, crud on the benches, and I don't know what all on the floors. We were there Sunday afternoon thru Wednesday morning, and it was when we were loading up to leave did we see someone there to clean. It may just have been a one-time thing...the rest of the park was real nice. We would still go back, just use our own shower. - GoinPlaces

Hi! I'm looking for someone to get to know and maybe have a relationship.
These things are always so weird. How do you sell yourself? I never know what to write. Here goes... My closest friends would say I am too nice most of the time, stubborn some of the time, and the one person you can count on all of the time. I don't trust easy but once I do, you could go around the world and I would never worry. I'm not a needy, text me all the time, gotta be always with you kind of girl. I'm not looking for someone to be my life... I want someone to share my life. I'm looking for someone who is real and honest who is not looking to play games. Someone who will accept me because I am not perfect. I believe in unconditional love and support. I give it to all my friends. I love to travel so someone who wants to travel is a must. Last year, I traveled in the US, Europe and the Caribbean. I live in Buras, LA but spend most of my free time in New Orleans because that is where everything is.

Gustavo Rosania, PhD
College of Pharmacy
428 Church St
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1065
The Rosania lab studies the microscopic transport properties of small drug-like molecules inside cells. Our overarching hypothesis is that a drug's microscopic distribution within organelles is as important as its macroscopic distribution in organs in determining efficacy and toxicity. We use microscopic imaging instruments to capture the local distribution and dynamics of small molecules inside cells and analyze image data with innovative computational tools and statistical strategies, combining cheminformatics and machine vision to relate the chemical structure of small molecules to their subcellular distribution. We also develop biochemical analysis methods to study the microdistribution and cellular pharmacokinetics of small drug-like molecules. Lastly, we build mathematical models to simulate drug transport and distribution in single cells and higher order cellular organizations, based on biophysical principles governing molecular transport phenomena at the cellular level.
We envision a day when drugs are designed, optimized, and approved based on their site of action, much as drugs today are designed, optimized, and approved based on their molecular mechanism of action.
Research Interests
Exploring the application of in silico models, such as the cell-based molecular transport simulations we use in our experiments, to pharmaceutical discovery and development
Exploring cell-based molecular transport simulations as a way to probe the role of microscopic drug transport as a determinant of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion
Using mathematical and experimental approaches to explore how specific chemical moieties can be used to massively target small-molecule drugs to specific cell types in animals and humans
Dissemination of free modeling and simulation tools to help educate the next generation of pharmaceutical scientists and medicinal chemists and to facilitate the development of drugs neglected by the pharmaceutical industry

Facebook co-founder and publisher/editor-in-chief of The New Republic Chris Hughes proclaimed his distaste for the term "media" on the I Want Media-sponsored "Future of Media" panel held today in Cooper Square as part of Internet Week New York. Given the many flavors, formats and deliver mechanisms the "media" comes in nowadays, I don't blame Mr. Hughes for not wanting to lump them all together – as if all media properties were created equal or had the same aspirations.
That sentiment was clear given the disparate nature of today's panelists who included Vice Media's founder/CEO Shane Smith, the Washington Post's executive editor Marty Baron, Guggenheim Media's (The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard…) Janice Min, Vox Media Inc's Jim Bankoff and The New Republic's Mr. Hughes.
Here are some notable quotables from today's session, which was deftly moderated by I Want Media's Patrick Phillips. Unedited audio of the 60-minute session can be found here.
Five years from now brands will matter again, quality matters, and quality digital brands will be more relevant than ever.
Our mission from The Verge to Eater is to deliver 'relevant content on a digital platform.'
Our advantage is that we're just web. Our audience are digital natives.
The combination of technology and talent is core to us. The magic is in that culture.
The overwhelming majority of Americans still get their news from local TV, which poses a big opportunity for disruption.
Facebook's Paper app has completely changed my online experience. My Twitterstream does not do that for me.
The New Republic has 3M 3M monthly users. Our print is up 20% from the first year I bought it and another 20% last year. We have 50K print readers.
We see almost as much traffic coming from Twitter Twitter as we do from Facebook.
Five years from now I'd like to see Billboard be the MTV MTV for music when I was a teenager.
[On hiring] social smarts are so important. We need people who can read a story and find ten ways to socialize it.
Advertisers' desire for events is insatiable. There's endless demand for unique experiences.
I'm one of the people who still looks at the front page of The (print) New York Times because it matters.

After Herman Cain's recent declaration that American communities should be able to ban mosques, it would be easy to understand why relations between Muslim and Western countries might be strained. A new study from the Pew Center has some mildly hopeful news: although tensions between Muslim and Western publics are still palpable, they've gotten slightly better in the past five years. While both populations still hold negative stereotypes of each other, Westerners (i.e. US residents and Western Europeans) are less likely to say that they had bad relations with Muslim countries than in 2006. Muslims, however, aren't as optimistic.
Ironically, each population characterized the other as "fanatical and violent." Muslims in the Middle East and in Southeast Asia were likely to say that Westerners were "selfish, immoral and greedy," while Westerners criticized the residents of Muslim countries for refusing to tolerate or respect women.
Even though Westerners think that relations are getting better, while Muslims say that their impressions of Westerners are as bad as they were five years ago, there may be more of a consensus on whose fault it is. Muslims overwhelmingly blamed the West for tensions, and while many Westerners did blame Muslim countries, a sizable percentage were also willing to point the finger at themselves.
In a change that perhaps reflects the general mood surrounding the Arab Spring, "Muslims and Westerners believe corrupt governments and inadequate education in Muslim nations are at least partly responsible for the lack of prosperity." And both Muslims and Westerners are concerned about Islamic extremism.

Noted with great hope.
Maybe it would be helpful not to generalise about whole populations/ religions and try to see each other as individuals.
I fully agree with Terry S.
For anyone who has lived in a Muslim country, this is another piece of news that provides no new information whatsoever.
Although I don't have any wish to confront anyone, I should say I have witnessed as much intolerance, fanaticism and stupidity in Western and Muslim countries.
I think it's fair we ask them to adapt to our standards when they come here, still we're the first (even as tourists) not to adapt to them and go screaming for our "rights" to dress, act etc.. as we want because we consider their values "absurd". Maybe we should be slightly less hypocrites and try to see things from their point of view when there, instead of thinking how "weird/primitive/whatever/ they are.
There are good and reasonable people everywhere, of all religions. There are evil people everywhere too, and many who manipulate ideals to get what they want. 100 years ago it would have been shameful for us not to consider religion as one of our pillars. Now it is not. MAybe we should remember that Islam is a younger religion than ours and that if it took us time to evolve they might need the same. We're not that different.
Of course it's better! It can't get any worse than the war footing we have now. Shame about religions though, they really mess things up.
Terry S. Why should the US and the UK be Christian? Why not pagan or animist. Christianity isn't a white religion like the British. Nor is it a Sioux or Arapaho or Seminole religion, it is a middle eastern religion and really has no place in the 'west'. Anyway the war between the East and the West is not really about religion. It's about oppression and domination. No one seems to ask the question. "Why was the twin towers attacked?" it wasn't just random. There were and are reasons. And just like how the UK created Pakistani resentment by 30+ years of 'Paki bashing' (common english sport of attacking South Asians) Americans are now 'beaner bashing' Mexicans. (expect Mexican terrorists in the future)
I totally agree with Billie C. People should adhere to rules and regulation of their adopted country RELIGION NOT WITHSTANDING.
UK allowed free hand to the religious extrmists and the results are for them to see. France took a stern step and the protest died.
As for India we have all sorts of extremists in garb of various religions and Islam tops it. But what about Pakistan??? There muslims kill their own people who follow the same faith and now even China is facing some tensions from chinese muslims.
What is the world coming to??? The most ironic part is that even highly educated followers of Islam take to extremism??? Why??? Any answers???
Interesting to note that Muslims are saying that there is no difference in the feelings between Muslims and Western Countries in the last five years. This just about sums up the problem. The West can bend over backwards to try and improve relations, but the Muslims still stick to their aggressive attitudes.
It should be made illegal to practice any Religion in United States and United Kingdom except Christianity, and if other cultures dont like it then sod off!
i don't care if they like us or not just stop killing people. they can do as they please in their own country don't bring it over here. if you are in this country then live by the rules of this country and don't try to force your rules down our throats. those that want to live the total muslim way should live in a total muslim country.
This is because those who wanted and needed a war for their own political and financial agendas, got it.
Making enemies of another people to forward your own agenda is the oldest tactic in the world. Make someone "other" and slap a label on them; they then cease to be individuals. It was used all our conflicts - Japs, Chinks, Gooks etc.,etc. You see? They are not people - they are the enemy. On one side of the world this group of people are being told the same lies about the people on the other side of the world. It has worked for centuries...it's still working - just witness how many have fallen for the game once again.
@Mrs. S.: Agreed!!

Massive Thrombus/Clot
38 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2201106 on Jan 28, 2007
I was diagnosed with a thrombus from my left knee to my groin, and the ultra sound confirmed it. I was on coumadin and warfarin, for two years with symptoms of arthritis, which I never had, and a extremely low labido(male)becouse of the drug. Since reseaching Natto, and weaning myself off of the thinners myself, against my doctors wishes. In fact he dropped me as a patient for noncompliance. I have to say I haven't felt better. I have no syptoms of arthritis, thank God! And my libido is back. I have had no swelling in my legs at all, indicating a clot, and I could not be happier with the product. I have told many about the product and my experience with it, and can only hope that the medical profession will open their eyes to the obvious benefits and actions of this enzyme.I have read lately that some are finally acknowledging it's benefits. I again could not be happier with the results.
My use of Nattokinase
42 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer3059892 on Sep 21, 2009
I have been using Nattokinase for over a year now along with several other enzymes. I began using it because I was on Cumodin because of a blood clot in my leg a number of years ago. An Oncologist checked my blood and said it did not seem to her that I needed to continue with the blood thinner. My leg would feel heavy and would swell when I lowered my dose of thinner, so I looked for an alternative and came across Nattokinase and Serrepetase as well as Flavenzyme ( I take all 3 ). About a month ago I ran out of Nattokinase and was busy and forgot to order some more. In about 2 weeks I was having swelling in my leg again to the point were it was painful and had to start wearing Ted hose day and night. Once I got back on the Nattokinase (I was checking the mail every day) I took 2 pills twice a day for 3 - 4 days and by the 3-4th day had gotten enough relief so that I did not have to wear the sock any longer. By the way I was taking asprin, Vit. E and everything else I could think of, but nothing helped. I am doing great now and down to 1 morning and night. Needless to say I won't miss reordering again.
Makes tinnitus worse!
16 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1463232 on Dec 21, 2010
Unfortunately, I have tinnitus. When I first used this product it seemed to get much worse. I stopped it for a couple weeks, and then went back on again. Same result; tinnitus worsened, big-time. I tried for a third time of staying off for awhile, til the tinnitus lessened. I took only the minimum doze for 3-5 days and the tinnitus, once again became almost unbearable. It is clear from testing this three times that it was not a coincidence, I'm sorry to say. As for other Doctor's Best products, they are excellent as is iHerb's value and service! I have used iHerb for 8 years now.

Nattokinase cleaves fibrin (the protein that helps our body form the 'mesh' of a clot from a wound or trauma). It is like our natural plant kingdom source of plasmin, and is the most potent fibrinolytic enzyme of nearly 200 foods studied for their clot-dissolving abilities.

- Between midnight and 11:59 p.m. on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day.
Why was my vehicle towed?
Vehicles parked in prohibited areas may be towed because of safety issues. The City may also tow vehicles registered to owners who have not paid accumulated parking citations. Vehicles that are abandoned/inoperable and/or have expired registration can also be towed. All citations must be paid to Parking Programs, and the cost of the tow and all storage fees must be paid to the towing company before the vehicle will be released. Payment to the City of Champaign must be in the form of cash, money order, cashier's check, VISA, MasterCard or Discover only. No personal checks will be accepted once a vehicle has been towed.
I had my flashers on. Why did I get a citation?
Vehicle flashers (hazard lights) are a universal sign that your vehicle is disabled. They do not allow you to park in metered or prohibited areas for even a short amount of time, nor do they indicate to parking personnel that you will "be right back."
Why was my vehicle booted?
Booting is a process in which a vehicle is immobilized in the location in which it is found. The "Boot" is a large metal restraint that clamps onto one wheel of a vehicle, rendering it incapable of being moved. A vehicle is subject to booting if it has accumulated five (5) or more unpaid citations that remain unpaid for a period of 30 days. A vehicle may be booted or towed when it is on the public right-of-way or any City-owned property. The decision whether to boot or tow will be made depending on the circumstances of each situation. In order to release the Boot, all past due fines must be paid. Payment must be in the form of cash, money order, cashier's check, VISA, MasterCard or Discover. Personal checks will not be accepted once a vehicle has been booted. There is a $35 administrative fee to have the Boot released from your vehicle. After hours payment may be made at the Champaign Police Department, 82 E. University Avenue and must be made by cashier's check or money order.

Claims & Credibility -- The Essence of Selling
Sample chapters:
7. What You Need to Know About Business
14. Asking Questions -- An Essential and Overlooked Step
When you're approaching employers by mail, a resume provides the evidence to back up the claims you make in your cover letter. The resume and the cover letter work as a team -- the letter tells the employer what you can do for them, and the resume backs it up with specific evidence.
You probably know that a good resume isn't merely a list of duties and job titles. But what you may not know is that it also isn't just a list of accomplishments with "action verbs" You have to translate your skills and abilities into language that taps into hiring managers' needs and desires. To do this well requires an insight into management and business that most resume writers just don't have.
Your resume has to work at two levels. First at the quick scan that most employers will give your resume -- often just 10 seconds. And then -- when they give it a closer reading -- your resume has to give them the credible details they'll need to be persuaded that you might have something to offer.
Content and organization are keyNearly everyone has a nice looking resume these days. With computers and laser printers it doesn't take much skill to produce a good looking resume. It's the content and organization of your resume that's going to make the difference when employers are deciding who they're interested in meeting with. That's where the value is in a resume service and that's what you should be paying for -- the content and organization of your resume, and the sales strategy behind them.
"I think today I'll be a resume writer"Anyone with a computer and a printer can call themselves a resume writer. And that's about all the experience and knowledge that some "professional resume writers" have. There's a real skill to writing effective resumes, and it doesn't come from being a good typist, or from having worked in a human resources department. It requires marketing and sales skills. It's become popular for resume services to try to sound like marketing experts, but few of them can walk that talk.
Who certified the certifiers?Another fairly recent development has been the rise of resume writing certification from the Professional Association of Resume Writers and other groups. I believe this was something started by a guy in Florida with a keen entrepreneurial mind, and I imagine he's earned some good money with his idea. I'm sure many PARW members are excellent resume writers, but I've seen no evidence to suggest that as a group they are particularly skilled or any better than non-members.
"Must be good -- it's $200!"I've also seen no correlation between price and quality. The best resume writing service I've ever seen only charged $50-$90. The second best started at $200. I know some people look for a resume service thinking "I want the best and I'm willing to pay for it." But there's no reason to think that "the best" will be particularly expensive. And some abysmal resumes have been sold for hundreds of dollars. Don't think that just because a resume is a bit on the expensive side that there's a better chance it will be effective.
"I saved nine cents!"Ask a group of professional resume writers what the first -- and often the only -- question they're asked by prospective clients, and I think they'd all reply "How much do you charge?" The lowest price is rarely a bargain in the long run. There can be a high long-term cost of looking for work with the cheapest resume you can buy. The cheapest services usually turn out to be little more than typists -- although that's rarely how they describe themselves. I'd rather spend $20 than $100 too, but you're paying for expertise and it's unlikely you're going to get much of that for $20.
"Thank you for your help, I'm now chairman of Microsoft!" --B.G.You can't always take testimonials very seriously. Even ignoring that many of them are concocted, the fact is that every service should have many satisfied customers because just about everyone will get a job. It might take them a bit longer than it could have, and they may not end up with what they wanted, but almost everyone gets something, eventually. Even the ones with poor resumes (an effective resume is very helpful, but it's only ever just one piece of an effective worksearch strategy). Just take a look at the resumes that people you know used when they received a job offer and you'll see some pretty weak work among them.
Skilled resume writing services give a good return for your moneyI have no doubts about the value that a good resume writing service can provide. Many people criticize services for "cookie cutter" resumes that all look and sound alike. They often insist that we should always write our own resumes because we know more about ourselves than anyone else ever will. If that were a persuasive argument, there would be no advertising agencies or freelance copywriters. Businesses have long recognized the value in working with an outside service in preparing their sales materials.
Individuals in a "self-marketing" campaign can receive similar value from a service with expertise in direct response techniques and with an understanding of market-driven business strategy. It's finding one with those skills that's a challenge.
You can never be certainEven with these guidelines, if you're not knowledgeable about resume writing, you're unlikely to be able to distinguish an excellent resume from a mediocre one.
I'm afraid there's no simple test you can apply, and no set of questions you can ask that will give you a definite answer (there are plenty of services that can "talk the talk"). Talk to the writer, get a feel for their expertise, and go with the one that seems to offer the best value. In the end, you'll always be taking a leap of faith.
The good news is that whatever you get will almost certainly be good enough to find work with. A resume is only ever one piece of the worksearch campaign. An effective one will certainly help, but if you needed to have an excellent resume to get hired we'd have an unemployment rate somewhere around 90 percent.
Good luck!

New Innovation in Lithium Ion Battery Could Triple Capacity
Movies and books often paint a very grim outlook of the future where everything of necessity is in perilously short supply. The TV show Revolution by JJ Abrams asks the questions what would we do if someone just spontaneously cut off our access to electricity across the entire planet? Here we would all take a much-needed vacation and try to divine a way to play our online games through daisy-chained Dixie cups (back off! Patent pending).
Regardless of the media in question, in a drama-riddled TV show or film the message is clear. Whoever commands the depleted resources commands the loyalty of the often post-apocalyptic masses. If that's true, this new lithium battery could be the most sought after little trinket on the planet. It's the product of researchers from University of Southern California.
Recognizing the life cycle limitations of today's garden variety Lithium ion batteries, Prof. Chongwu Zhou has taken the tech in a very different direction. Professor Zhou has found that fields of porous silicon nanotubes are more efficient for herding electrons while maintaining capacity and greatly extending the life cycle of Lithium ion battery. Changwu Zhou has already made considerable progress. So much so, we could see these super batteries on the retail shelve or at least in our hybrid cars, laptops, cell phones and more, in as soon as a couple of years. Unfortunately no raw data or published mortality rates for these new powerhouses have been made available. Tripling of traditional capacity is noted but surely various offerings will yield differently.
In any event, innovations in power sourcing are growing by leaps and bounds. Batteries are lasting longer and providing more power efficiency. One most notable stride in power solutions is inductive charging. If we can get some of these new mega-batteries used for future inductive charging options, then we can truly embrace a wireless future where everyone has "juice."

Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz says Paraguay are aiming to at least reach the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup™.
Santa Cruz helped his side move in sight of the second phase with a 2-0 victory against Slovakia in a Group F match at the Free State Stadium.
Goals from Enrique Vera and Cristian Riveros either side of half-time gave them the victory they craved following the draw with reigning world champions Italy.
Santa Cruz, back in the team after a minor injury, said: "Paraguay has never been in the quarter-finals. That is our goal. Maybe it is time to change history. We are very proud of our result today. It will give us a lot of confidence.
"It is very important we win our last group game (against New Zealand). There is a possibility we could top the table and we have to go for it. If we keep working hard who knows how far we can go."
Santa Cruz believes the bond between Paraguay players is second to none.
He said: "We controlled the game and are happy to have achieved our goal of getting the points. Our strengths are as a team we are very compact. We are all proud to be part of the squad. The atmosphere is fantastic not just in our games but in training.
"We have been playing together for years and we have players who are mentally strong. Our strength is the spirit in the camp, the hard work we put into every game."
Paraguay coach Gerardo Martino was pleased with the way his side took the game to Slovakia.
He said: "We ran the match and our play in the first half was excellent. Then we had some moments of uncertainty but nothing really to be concerned about. Our objective now it to make the last 16 and we have a good possibility of doing that. What this victory will do is improve our spirit and make us mentally stronger."
Slovakia are in the finals for the first time and coach Vladimir Weiss refused to be downbeat.
He said: "It is a good learning experience for my team and we are happy to be at the World Cup. We made two mistakes and were punished for them. There was not enough urgency in our play."

Pater (film)

|Produced by

|Alain Cavalier

Release dates
Running time
|105 minutes
Pater is a 2011 French drama film directed by Alain Cavalier.[1] It premiered In Competition on 17 May at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.[2][3]
Cavalier and Lindon play versions of themselves, starting work on a film in which they will play the president of the republic and a politician who will be prime minister, respectively.
Though improvised conversations, they sketch out both their fictional and actual relationships.[4]
Cavalier's President character calls on Lindon's Prime Minister character to pass a law on the maximum salary at the national level. The project met with strong opposition and the two men can not muster a majority of MPs behind the project. Having the feeling of not being sufficiently supported by the President, Lindon decides to run for president himself.

- Alain Cavalier as Alain Cavalier
- Bernard Bureau as Bernard Bureau
Pater was shot with a handheld digital camera
Cavalier said "The year of working together changed us[...] I wasn't in charge the way a director is in charge. And we discovered things gradually. I used to plan the last shot from the start, and thought about that from the beginning. I had studied Greek tragedy, . I was influenced by films like Renoir's Partie de campagne and John Huston's Asphalt Jungle. Now I want to forget all that."[5]
The film was made with a skeleton script and cast. "I didn't write one line of dialogue, just a sketch, nine pages, about how I met Vincent, and how we decided to work together, how I would film." Cavalier said the film is "about the intimacy of power and how it is like the intimacy of making a movie together, without a cast, without a classical team."[5]
The New York Times described the film as "an improvised adventure, a game of Let's Pretend with a political twist, with scenes of the two picnicking in the forest on a gourmet feast, plucking the proper ties and suits from vast closets, and talking of cabbages and kings, as it were — and of how they feel about women."[5]
Critical response[edit]
On film review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, the film has two reviews, one positive and one negative.[6]
Variety described it as the "epitome of an in-joke, best appreciated by director Alain Cavalier and his slender cast, Pater is a confounding slog for most anyone else. Curiously tapped for a Cannes competition slot, this sloppily improvised film about filmmaking doesn't bother to make clear whether and how it's a mock-docu account of the shooting of a French prime minister biopic, as Cavalier cavalierly squanders the chance to represent his meta-narrative in stylistically coherent terms."[7]
The A.V. Club gave it a grade of "D+", saying: "I didn't get it, and neither did any other American I spoke to, but the French were applauding madly throughout, apparently in response to policy statements. Director and star have an easy rapport, but that's all I got out of it, I'm afraid."[8]

Heartwarming: 1984
Despite the overall bleakness of the novel, there are a few heartwarming moments.
- Winston contemplates a woman who threw herself over a child to protect him from machine-gun fire even though she knew it wouldn't help. He comes to the realization that "If you loved someone, you loved him, and when you had nothing else to give you still gave him love."
- A man dying of starvation is brought to the cell in the Ministry of Love that Winston is sharing with several other prisoners. One man offers him a piece of bread. And then a bunch of guards storm in and beat him with clubs.
- The love song outlasts the hate song in popularity.
- The Appendix. Whether it's In-Universe or not, its existence, which is written in the past tense, is one of the only shreds of hope in this book that Big Brother's tyranny was overthrown somehow. Bear in mind that this particular world is considered to be the Crapsack World of all crap worlds in Fictional History.
- Winston's and Julia's first time in the forest.
- Winston hated Julia so much that he would have killed her or even raped her, but then Julia gave Winston a note saying "I love you." That was all it took for Winston and Julia to actually fall in love.
- Julia comforting Winston when she sees how terrified he is by the rat they find in their secret room.

I am Your Newest Match ;)
Have you ever seen the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding?" Well, yes, that is EXACTLY my family and sometimes even funnier because I am also half-Mexican. I love my family and would not trade any of them for the world. I am now at an age where I would like to start up my own family, which is why I am here. Maybe in my near future there's a possible "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2". Both sets of my grandparents were married for 60 plus years! They taught me so much and spoiled me with the best advice on how to be the best family man I could be! I love them so much and would not understand this life if it wasn't for them. "The day I stop learning is the day I die." I hate it when women are "Drop dead gorgeous" on the outside and "Drop dead garbage" on the inside. You're dealing with the ultimate gentleman. No matter what happens, at the end of the day I'll make you smile, laugh, and wonder, "Why have I never met a guy like this before??!!" Lastly, let me start by saying I live a drama-free life, so if drama is your business or seems to follow you, dont even bother to holler! Also, if you have pictures that are 5 years old, please do not message me. All I ask is to be honest because you would get that in return. I am extremely career-focused; which is why I'm out here and moved from the beach (no I'm not crazy). I also like to live a balanced lifestyle. When I'm not working, I love to go wine tasting and try new things. I love music, dancing, and cooking. I heard this site was good to meet a lady (not a girl), so I thought why not try it? You only live once! You should message me: Girl's gotta have a… sense of style, the ability to run in heels, a spark in her eye, and a killer smile. For those of you who think chivalry is dead, I can assure you it is NOT! Honestly, you just have to raise your standards and stop dating douche bags. Yes, there are guys out there that will open your door, take you on a date and actually pay for the bill, put himself first before harm's way, bring you flowers, and all of those only-in-the-movie ideals every girl is hoping, wishing, and waiting for, so raise your standards and send me a message... Because if you are worth it, I promise you, you will be treated like a queen ;)

California State University, Fullerton, Fullerton, CA
I have an open mind with all of the above. However I have a strong passion for cooking and entertaining. Wine, home cooked dinners, and some good music will have my date and I smiliing from ear to ear :) !
I do believe that "love conquers all," but that's because I'm a hopeless romantic ;) Most of the time, I don't take myself very seriously. Most of the time, you shouldn't either.

Green Bay - A crowd of 67,688 fans, some 5,240 below capacity, filed into Lambeau Field on Friday night perhaps hoping for some clues on how the Green Bay Packers might fare this season as defending Super Bowl champions.
They didn't get many.
"It looked like a preseason game," general manager Ted Thompson said good-naturedly and with a wry smile. "It's all part of the evaluation process."
The Packers ended up winning the 62nd Upper Midwest Shrine Game over the Arizona Cardinals, 28-20, evening their record at 1-1. Arizona also is 1-1.
On offense, the Packers' starting lineup played three series, gained 111 yards in 20 snaps and scored 7 points. If you were looking for significant developments, they were few and far between.
"The offense struggled the first couple series but then had a good drive in a no-huddle situation," said Thompson. "We're comfortable in it. We practice it quite a bit."
Just as he did last week in Cleveland, Aaron Rodgers found his rhythm when coach Mike McCarthy decided to go up-tempo and forsake a huddle. He completed all five of his passes in the drive for 62 yards, concluding it with a 20-yard dart to Greg Jennings on a back-shoulder route at the right front pylon against rookie cornerback Patrick Peterson, the first-round draft choice.
"It's a tough play to defend," Thompson said.
The second possession for the No. 1 offense screeched to a halt when Rodgers was sacked twice in the span of five plays. After having given up a pressure two plays earlier, rookie guard Derek Sherrod was beat up the field by defensive end Calais Campbell for a 4-yard sack.
A 17-yard reception by Donald Driver on a strong catch in traffic enabled the Packers to get out of that third-and-16 hole. But then, on third and 2, Pro Bowl defensive tackle Darnell Dockett beat guard Josh Sitton outside and sacked Rodgers for minus-4.
Reducing the team's sack totals from the past two seasons was a main objective of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. The Packers are off to a poor start, having allowed five against the Browns and four more to Arizona.
"We gave up some sacks, sure," Thompson said. "I don't think any of them are the same. It's just a question of fitting it all together."
When Matt Flynn and the second-stringers entered with 3 minutes left in the first half, it was jailbreak time on the first snap. Former Badger O'Brien Schofield whipped around left tackle T.J. Lang and was bearing down on Flynn, but before he could sack him nose tackle Dan Williams bull-rushed center Nick McDonald and got there first for the sack.
In the third quarter, Sherrod moved to left tackle and gave up a strip-sack to Schofield off the edge.
"He's doing all right," Thompson said, referring to Sherrod. "He's competing. He's playing a position (guard) he hasn't played."
The Cardinals, who were penalized nine times for 50 yards in the first half, jumped offside on third and 3 to give the Packers a first down at the Arizona 27. On the next play, rookie Alex Green patiently set up his blocks on a screen pass, broke three tackles and zipped 25 yards to set up his own 2-yard touchdown run.
"I like that kid," a personnel man for another NFL team said at halftime. "He played in a pass offense, but he can run big between the tackles. He gives them another inside presence. At the very least, he will be a contributing backup, with the arrow pointing up. That was a good value pick."
On defense, quarterback Kevin Kolb and the Cardinals' No. 1 offense also played three series. They were unable to find the end zone, but after an early three-and-out did mount field-goal drives lasting 6 minutes, 29 seconds and 7:34.
"Obviously, we moved the ball whenever we wanted to," Kolb said in remarks distributed by Cardinals' publicists. "When we got down to the 30- or 40-yard line, we couldn't do anything with it. I had the one scramble where I got sacked trying to make a play. I just have to throw the ball away."
The Packers played without defensive end Mike Neal (knee) and linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstrings). Other than the sack of Kolb by Ryan Pickett in 7.7 seconds, the pass rush was negligible for the second week in a row.
C.J. Wilson, starting for Neal, walked into the locker room escorted by trainers late in the first quarter after suffering a concussion. Rookie Lawrence Guy, another defensive end with a legitimate chance to make the team, sat out with concussion-like symptoms.
Thompson said he didn't see reason to add a veteran defensive lineman.
"No, I don't think so," he said. "I think we'll have a pretty strong defensive line once we're set to go."
For perhaps the first time under defensive coordinator Dom Capers, the Packers' three linemen shifted just before the snap several times in an apparent attempt to confuse the Cardinals' offensive line.
"Green Bay definitely can play the pass on defense plus they can apply pressure," the scout said. "Offensively, they're fully dimensional. Theoretically, I think they can run the football, too."
Most of the scouts in attendance were focused on players that the Packers might cut but possibly could help lesser teams.
"Green Bay is deep," the scout said. "I think they have some good players that may come free because of their numbers."
The Packers took the lead on the first play of the fourth quarter when Flynn found wide receiver Chastin West for a 97-yard touchdown. Exhibition-game records don't exist, but in the regular season the Packers have completed just one pass longer (Robert Brooks, 99, 1995).
