PhD Student and Alumni Profiles
Matt StephensonPhD student, Management
"It's easier to stand on the shoulders of giants if you're passing them in the halls," says Matt Stephenson about why he chose Columbia Business School.
"I'm interested in social norms, trust, and deception — aspects of human behavior that are so fundamental that they are easy to overlook," he says. "Analyzing the way in which these foundational aspects of society are contributing factors in firm structure, productivity, and economic growth feels especially important."
"I'd say my experience has been a great one thus far. More specifically, I think the Columbia Business School environment is remarkable in its research focus. From the first week, my courses have had components requiring original research proposals, and these proposals received high-quality feedback from leading scholars."
"I intend on becoming a professor, and Columbia's record of placing students at top academic institutions is enviable. Succeeding in such a position means writing and publishing journal articles and here too I feel I am getting world-class preparation: during my first year I became involved in three active projects, which have the aim of being published. Ultimately my goal is to become a producer of knowledge and I feel I am definitely pointed in the right direction."
Nea GnepaPhD student, Finance
"I chose Columbia because I wanted to receive a state-of-the-art education from a renowned university. Plus, Columbia is in New York, which is certainly attractive to anyone that is interested in finance and the stock market."
As a first year student Nea's primary focus has been in the classroom. "The course content so far has been great. I am getting a strong foundation in microeconomics and econometrics that I can build upon. I have also improved my skills in MATLAB, Excel, C++, Stata, and Latex. The faculty do a great job at making the homework assignments fun, interesting, challenging, and relevant to current topics of interest in finance."
Gnepa says the people have been an important part of the experience. "The community here is very welcoming and a great resource for questions about classes or anything else. I've become great friends with the other first-year PhD students in my Department."
Yena KimPhD student, Marketing
Yena Kim chose to pursue a career in research after working for a consulting firm. "I gained interest in analyzing data and solving problems, and wanted to learn the skills of doing analytical work (both theoretical and empirical)."
"I wanted to get the best training as a doctoral student. Relatedly, Columbia had amazing professors and colleagues. Professors in our department welcome any student who wants to talk about any matter, whether it is related to school, research, or your personal life."
"My research mostly focuses on the entertainment business," Kim says. "I like to look at questions about how to design a product, which includes pricing and advertising strategies, that can aid the success of the firm."
Thus far, the interdisciplinary approach to coursework has been a highlight for Kim. "Columbia offers both interesting and useful courses for their students. I have taken classes from many departments including Marketing; Economics; Statistics; Decision, Risk, and Operations; and Computer Science."
Pablo SlutzkyPhD student, Finance
Pablo Slutsky's path toward the Doctoral Program started in Argentina after two years working in academia. "I love to work in an environment that is constantly challenging ideas and looking to expand the frontiers of science," he says.
When asked why he chose Columbia, Slutsky includes, "the faculty, the track record of placements, the reputation of the University, and the location."
In his second year in the Doctoral Program, he has found the relationships particularly helpful. "Classes are challenging, but I found great support from my classmates. And if we cannot solve something, the faculty are there to help us. I was surprised by how open and accessible professors are. Just sending an email to faculty who didn't know me was more than enough to receive valuable advice and find joint projects to work on."
"I plan to graduate and seek a career in academia. A degree from Columbia University will definitely help me, not only with the skills needed, but also with a top quality network."
Colleen HonisbergPhD student, Accounting
Coleen Honisberg expresses great passion about her experience in the Doctoral Program, from admittance through research. "I was thrilled when I was admitted to Columbia Business School, and that feeling of excitement still greets me every day in my third year of the program. I've found every professor to be not only friendly and helpful, but also knowledgeable of current academic research and how it applies to the real world. I'm also extremely grateful to my classmates for their willingness to spend hour after hour helping me with our assignments."
Honisberg's research focuses on the intersection of law and accounting, such as corporate governance and securities law. "I feel so lucky," says Honisberg, "to have the support of both the Law and Business schools."
Juan ChanetonPhD student, DRO
"I chose Columbia and in particular the DRO Division because it is a challenging program where students are encouraged to gain a broad spectrum of knowledge before they dive into research," says Juan Chaneton. "And when they do, they are able to decide their own research path, and work with leading academics of different areas."
Thus far, Chaneton has found the program experience rewarding. "The professors, staff, and fellow students are always willing to help you with what you need. And being subway distance to the heart of New York certainly does not hurt."
Erin KoganPhD student, Finance
"I was working in the finance industry and I knew it was not my future," Erin Kogan says. "I needed something more, I needed a challenge and intellectual stimulation."
She found that in Columbia Business School's Doctoral Program. "Where would I rather be? Aside from the NYC experience and how prevalent a subject finance and economics is here, it is simply a wonderful School with brilliant minds and ample resources."
"The first couple of years in the program were a great opportunity to build relationships and get a solid foundation for research and the research process. The courses and exams were challenging and gave me an opportunity to focus on the material and literature."
Daniel HePhd student, Marketing
Daniel's interest in consumer behavior began early in his undergraduate career, after deciding on pursuing a Doctorate, he knew Columbia Business School was the best destination. "I wanted to come to Columbia because the strength of the research and mentorship here is second to none. Of the papers I encountered in my undergrad research assistantship and coursework, many of my favorites originated from the marketing professors here. I feel very lucky to collaborate with them on our own research projects now."
"One thing I really like about the program is the emphasis on bridging behavioral and quantitative marketing. Faculty members on both sides have an appreciation for research in each others' specialties, and they cultivate this appreciation for interdisciplinary research in all of the students. Although pushing your comfort zone by venturing outside of your specialization can certainly be challenging, I'm really glad that, as a behavioral student, I now have a greater understanding and appreciation of the work that my friends and colleagues on the quantitative side do."
Ivana KaticPhD student, Management
Ivana Katic's passion for research began during her undergraduate studies. "I was fortunate enough to work in several research labs, on projects ranging from perceived mental control to group dynamics in counterterrorism teams. Most importantly, I was exposed to brilliant faculty who loved their work — which was clearly contagious."
"Columbia offers an incredible PhD program in Management. The relatively small size of the program allows us to work closely alongside some of the premier organizational scholars in the world. Additionally, for a truly multidisciplinary program like ours, the availability of great disciplinary departments on campus (such as Psychology, Sociology and Political Science) is very important. Last but not the least, we are located in the best city in the world." "I am incredibly lucky to work with Professor Paul Ingram. He has taught me all I know about crafting a research project from start to finish. It's also been a great learning experience to observe and assist him in the EMBA classroom over the years. Other faculty members have been instrumental to my development as a scholar, as well — from offering advice on projects to providing moral support through the various inevitable challenges of the publishing process." "My plans for the future will ideally involve an academic job at a research-focused university, one that I would hopefully come to love as much as I do Columbia."
Hyung Il OhPhD student, Accounting
At Columbia, Hyung Il Oh has found great value in the ties between the PhD and MBA programs. "MBA classes have provided inspiration for my research," says Oh. "I've had many real-world related research ideas from these classes."
"I like the research culture at Columbia Business School. I haven't felt any pressure of short-term achievements. My advisor and the other faculty members have waited patiently for me to find a research topic that I am really excited about. At the same time, it is very easy to reach these world famous professors for any kind of help. Most of them have an open door policy. Also, the Business School has great staff members who provide excellent support in all areas (the administration, IT, and the libraries, and so on)."
Shiri MelumadPhD student, Marketing
Shiri Melumad is focused on how emotions influence consumption-related decisions. "My interest in consumer behavior developed throughout my undergraduate studies in psychology," she says, "during which I became interested in the practical implications of the interplay between affect and behavior."
"My experience in the marketing program has exceeded my expectations," Melumad says. "Beyond the theoretical foundation established through my coursework, I have received invaluable practical training and guidance from my distinguished advisers who have been consistently supportive and encouraging."
Melumad says the people have been an important part of the experience. "There is a tight-knit community amongst the marketing students, and the relationships I have formed have been both professionally and personally rewarding. Overall, the department fosters a very open and collaborative environment in which to exchange and develop ideas with faculty as well as fellow students"
Eric AnicichPhD student, Management
From a young age, Eric Anicich was interested in the drivers of human behavior. Pursuing a PhD in the Management Division was one way for him to explore his questions in greater depth and in a context with real-world implications.
"Columbia is a natural fit for me," he says. "The Management Division is comprised of highly productive faculty members doing some of the most exciting work in the field and the University is located in one of the most dynamic cities in the world. That's a tough combination to beat."
Much of Anicich's current research examines the consequences of social, structural, and cultural hierarchy on important individual and group outcomes. "My goal is to join the faculty of a top-tier business school where I can continue to pursue high-quality, high-impact research among like-minded colleagues," he says.
Charlene ChenPhD student, Marketing
Charlene Chen enjoys deciphering the thoughts, feelings and behaviors of the people she observes in everyday life. "In particular, I have always been interested in consumers' judgments and decision-making in response to offerings in the marketplace," she says. "This led me to conducting research in social psychology and consumer behavior. Doing a PhD allows me craft this 'hobby' into a profession."
"Columbia Business School has an excellent Marketing Division. At Columbia, I get to exchange ideas with world-class researchers, who constantly challenge and encourage me to develop different perspectives to important issues and to discover new sources of inspiration. I was particularly attracted to the vibrant research environment and rigorous training by dedicated faculty here at the business school, and of course, the allure of living in New York City!"
"As aptly put forth by Sir Isaac Newton: 'If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.' At Columbia Business School, I have wonderful mentors that are highly involved and dedicated to the projects that we are working on together. I feel deeply honored to be able to discuss and develop new ideas with them because they are such brilliant, distinguished scholars in their fields."
"I have learned in the PhD program that studying consumer behavior is both a science and an art. I strive to be a great scientist and artist in the field of consumer research, to pursue academic research that matters in the real world, and to be an effective and nurturing teacher to my future students."
Mattia LandoniPhD student, Finance
When choosing between Columbia's finance program and an economics program somewhere else, Mattia Landoni's decided to join Columbia for a somewhat unique reason. "Columbia's edge was that it was much easier to reach for all my European friends and family," Landoni says. "This may seem an unorthodox criterion, but the academic quality of both places was very high, so deciding based on that alone was hard. New York itself wasn't the reason, as I predicted (correctly) that I wouldn't have a lot of time to actually enjoy its attractions."
Landoni's research is focused mainly on taxes. "Both from the perspective of an investor trying to minimize the taxes on her investments (optimal portfolio)," Landoni says, "and from the perspective of a policymaker trying to set up a tax code with certain characteristics (public finance)."
Classes at the School were good preparation. "The coursework helped in a peculiar way — it made me insensitive to math-pain. Math is like grammar. You have to exercise a lot so you can use it without thinking about it too much. If you get lost in the math, you forget the big ideas."
In the end, Landoni is happy with the choice to attend Columbia. "It is a privilege to have access to such a collection of incredibly smart people; being able to sound off your ideas with them."
Nicholas ReinholtzPhD student, Marketing
Nicholas Reinholtz's interest in human behavior and decision making goes back to childhood, and it has grown organically over time. "Studying judgment and decision making as a PhD student seemed like a great way to broaden my understanding of human behavior and, hopefully, help extend the existing body of scientific knowledge"
Reinholtz says he chose Columbia because of the people. "The research community here is outstanding. As a doctoral student, you are surrounded by brilliant minds from whom you are able to learn every day." "The coursework in Columbia's marketing department," Nicholas also notes, "involves a focus on integrating quantitative and behavioral research. I feel like this provides students with a broad base of knowledge and opens doors to interesting collaborations."
Jun Kyung AuhPhD student, Finance
Jun Kyung Auh's interest in finance started when he was an options trader. "That experience made me understand how the financial world operates and raised questions for me, as well," he says. "I thought a PhD program would help me find answers."
The faculty members, in particular, are what attracted Auh to Columbia's program. "Columbia has a very well balanced faculty base that provides a good coverage on areas in financial economics. Also, coming from a practical background, I wanted to be close to where the action is: New York City, the center of the financial industry."
Like many, Auh found the process of pursuing a PhD challenging, in particular when he hit speed bumps in the research process. And when he did, the Columbia community was there to help. "Whenever I had a hard time, I was always able to find a faculty member or a classmate who was willing to discuss the problem. The experience at Columbia taught me how much synergy we can make when we put our heads together."
"My future plan is to have an academic position. I am sure that what I learned at Columbia will serve as a foundation for my academic career. I have seen teaching and research at the highest level at the School and it certainly sets a high bar for me going forward."
Matt Stephenson"I'm interested in social norms, trust, and deception—aspects of human behavior."
Nea Gnepa"I chose Columbia because I wanted to receive a state-of-the-art education from a renowned university."
Yena Kim
"I wanted the best training as a Doctoral Student. Columbia had amazing professors and colleagues.
Pablo Slutzky"I love to work in an environment that is constantly challenging ideas and looking to expand frontiers."
Colleen Honisberg"I was thrilled when I was admitted to Columbia Business School, the of excitement still greets me every day."
Juan Chaneton
"Life in Columbia is rewarding. Professors, staff and students are always willing to help you with what you need."
Erin Kogan

Coils -
I didn't think about it either, until getting into the MG47. The specific reason for installing the left rail first is so the bolt doesn't rotate during cycling tests; and to align it when you slip it in the rear. My ejector rail came with a flat; standard-length factory ejector rail.
Also, left rail goes in first (and NOT the ejector rail!) so you can 'unchamber' the rds. Otherwise you'd have to cut your ejection port right away. Found that one out the hard way too DUH so now you know I am certainly no expert

CRESTVIEW — Coming off a 10-6-2 season, expectations are high for the Crestview girls soccer team.
Second-year coach Carl Everitt isn't discouraging talk of what could be a banner year for his team.
"I'm hoping we have a better season than last year — and we had a great season last year," he said. "We've been together now since July 17th of last year and we haven't stopped. We put a little team together and, as you can see, they've come a long way.
"They are knocking the ball with their feet and they are playing the game properly and they like each other."
If Tuesday's 7-0 win over Rocky Bayou Christian is any indication of the season's outcome, the Bulldogs should be in good shape.
Crestview had two goals each from Ashley Richbourg and Tia Schindler. Nichole Lefevre, Heather Daron and Allison Ammons each scored a goal.
The Bulldogs only had three seniors on last year's team, one of which was a starter. Despite minimal losses from graduation, Everitt still had to adjust the lineup to get the right players in position.
While last year's senior class was small, whatever success the Bulldogs have this year will fall on the squad's seniors.
"The problem we've got is we've got nine seniors so we've got to do something really good this year because we don't know what could happen next year," Everitt said. "We've got nine strong seniors and we are going to do OK this year.
"They know (that) this year, they have to do something because once we lose nine seniors, it's going to be difficult for us next year to do something. They are very hungry, and they know they have to do something this year — and for some of them, this is their only chance."
The eight-team District 1-4A in girls soccer is always tough. Joining Crestview in the district are Fort Walton Beach, Escambia, Tate, Navarre, Niceville, Pine Forest and Pace.
"I don't expect to win district," Everitt said. "I think we finished fourth last year and I think we can finish third this year.
"Niceville is always good. Pace, I'm not sure what they are going to be like this year. There are a lot of variables, and it's just who shows up on what night. "We are trying to build a (soccer) culture up here."
Seventeen months into his tenure coaching the Crestview girls, Everitt continues to see team improvement that could pay dividends by year's end.
"We've had 17 months of going to tournaments and getting that exposure and playing against different players," Everitt said. "We are hitting gaps and hitting spaces and they are playing the way they should be from the corners as well.
"We hit the ball and we've got set plays. We are a little more sophisticated than we were last year so."

Ulla Popken has developed a system for you that takes the guesswork out of selecting our clothes. You may have noticed that we offer length information and have classified each garment into a specific fit category.
If you feel uncertain about your size, call our friendly Fashion/Fit Consultants at 1-800-245-ULLA (8552) and ask their advice for your size.
IN GENERAL: Depending on the fabric and style we offer double or single sizes. Ulla Popken garments have the perfect ease according to style and size, sizing up is not necessary. Most items are sold separately to make it easy to find the exact fit from top to bottom. Our collection is made for women 5'4" to 5'8".
IN DETAIL: To choose your size for blouses, jackets, tops, sweaters, dresses, vests, and coats, determine which measurement is larger, hip or bust; use the larger measurement. Choose all pants and skirt sizes by using your hip measurement.
Some of our tops are graded by length. The 12/14 is shortest in length and the 36/38 is the longest. A range of lengths is listed for each graded item.
Differently proportioned women have added fullness in different places that affects how a top drapes, how it falls – how long it appears. Length is affected for some women by extra fullness at the back, midriff, hips, tummy or posterior, while others have theirs in the bust.
To determine the length of a top in your size, locate the length range of the item as listed on our website or in our catalog. Find your size in the chart below for its graded length. Please note that lengths may vary slightly.
To find the perfect fit take the below basic measurements. They are the key to good fit and style. Hold the measuring tape firm, but not tight. Circle your body measurements on the chart where they apply. This will give you your clothing size.
Use the Fit Guide as a reference to your fit. This step explains our fit categories that have been incorporated into the description of each garment throughout the catalog.
Questions or concerns about getting the best fitting clothes, please contact our Fashion/Fit Consultants at:

Student must be admitted in order to take Kent State University placement tests.
**Before making an appointment to meet with an academic advisor for registration purposes, all new students must schedule to take the placement assessments (transfer and re-enrolled students will be reviewed upon acceptance).
The ALEKS placement test can be taken online from home through Flashline. Students who wish to take it remotely are expected to take the ALEKS placement assessment without assistance from another person or resource. Results from ALEKS will lead to placement in a mathematical course. If students complete the assessment under assistance, there is a strong chance that they will perform poorly in their mathematics course and have to pay tuition fees to re-take it. Students who wish to take ALEKS placement on-campus are welcome to do so during a Placement Testing time block.
New students who have current ACT scores will be placed in reading and writing courses according to ACT Reading and English subscores.
All new students to Kent State University are required to take the ALEKS placement test for mathematics. New students who do not have current ACT scores must take COMPASS reading and writing. COMPASS is a comprehensive, self-paced computer testing program that helps place students into appropriate courses and maximizes the information colleges need to ensure student success.
ALEKS and COMPASS test results are used by academic advisors to determine proper course placement.
- ALEKS and COMPASS are administered at no charge.
- Photo ID required for testing.
- The ALEKS placement may take up to 90 minutes to complete.
- COMPASS reading and writing may take up to 60 minutes to complete. If you are taking COMPASS and would like to take ALEKS on campus, you should allow yourself 2.5 hours. If you need additional time, the COMPASS test can be taken in parts. It is best to complete ALEKS in a single setting.
- You can get more information on ALEKS here.

Morning-after pill
I don't get it. The FDA is allowing the morning-after pill to be purchased by girls as young as 15 years old, but they don't want kids younger than 21 drinking energy drinks because of the caffeine. One pill kills; one drink energizes. The FDA wants to allow the pill that kills but wants to regulate the drink that delivers energy. We are one screwed-up country.
Keystone pipeline
I hope the person who called in about the Keystone pipeline is the only one who feels that way. The resources come from Canada, not the United States. We'll transport it across the United States, but the resources come from Canada.
In the not too distant future, pure water will become the most precious commodity on our earth. To bury the Keystone Pipeline over the immense Ogalla and endanger this aquifer is beyond stupid. This inferior, dirty oil is mainly for export to China. And that's why the pipeline would go all the way to the seaports in Texas.
I'm 60
Aiken really is a sad, dying town. Nobody wants any young people in Aiken to have fun because they're all washed up. I'm 60, and I think it's sad and pathetic at some of the privileged mess that all you "high profile" senior citizens have to run your jaws about. "Is someone playing in a band?" You shouldn't go to bed at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. You shouldn't talk about politics. At 60, if all I've got to do is talk about politics, I'd sooner jump off a cliff somewhere. So why don't you all gather around at the retainer pond at Odell Weeks and discuss your politics and how much these politicians really love you. Maybe even Mark Sanford will come down there and dive into the water and fetch a few cans for you.
Church nowadays
I agree drinking coffee in church is taboo. We really should not even allow any kind of drinks to come into church. Churches are just going down. The dress is just so pitiful nowadays. Yeah, they're in church, but what good are they getting out of it if they are so worldly? Let's see if we can't do a little bit better and have our houses of worship more pleasing to God.
Act of kindness
I want to thank the woman in the drive-thru at McDonald's on Richland Avenue, Tuesday afternoon, for paying my order. The cashier said, "The woman in front of you in the blue truck already paid for your order." Your random act of kindness was greatly appreciated.

If you're considering trying the paid version of Google Apps, you can create a demo account that has most of the features from Google Apps Premier. The account expires after 14 days, you don't need a domain and you can add 10 user accounts.
A small number of features can't be used in the demo account: Postini email services, domain aliasing and phone support, but all the other options should be available. You can test the APIs, the migration tool, Google Apps Sync for Outlook, the video sharing service and other business-oriented features.
When you sign up for Google Apps Premier Edition, the service is free for the first month, but you need to have a domain and you have to configure some advanced settings. The demo account is much easier to use, even if you only have two weeks to explore the myriad of features included in Google Apps.
If you only want to use Google Apps for personal use or for a small group, you should try the free edition, which is still available, despite Google's efforts to make it more difficult to find*. TechCrunch claims that "the free version of Google Apps is history", but that's not true and I'm certain that Google will always offer a free version.
* How to find the link to Google Apps Standard Edition? Go to Google Apps' homepage, click on "Gmail and Google Calendar", then click on "See details and sign up" and then select "Not a business? Explore Standard Edition". Only three links from the homepage.

Most AV Switchers only handle one type of video. They may or may not handle audio as well, and that can be stereo analog audio and/or digital Coax or Optical Toslink. Some Audio/Video Switchers are flexible enough to handle audio or video on each channel. Not many Switches have this capability, so look for this in the listed features of the product if you need it. Some DVI and HDMI Switchers also switch Digital or analog Audio as well, sometimes even other signals. Multi-format Switchers can convert "lower" forms of video like Composite Video or S-Video to Component Video or HDMI as well as switch between Component/HDMI and the aforementioned converted signals. This gives you the capability of a single output to your Display. Matrix Switchers switch a number of inputs to a number of outputs in a completely independent manner. You should first determine what signal or signals you need your switcher to handle. Next determine if there are also other signals you had not considered that might be a benefit like IR, RS232, etc. After that just find the units that have the correct number of Inputs and Outputs. If you have trouble deciding between several units look for our "Editors Choice". It is the product that we feel has an unusual amount of Quality, Features and Value. Composite video: That RCA connector Cable with the yellow color code. It combines the brightness (luminance) of the picture elements with their associated color (chrominance) information all on a single coax cable. Many hoops were jumped through to get all of the original red, green, blue and brightness information onto, essentially, a single signal. S-Video: S-Video separates the brightness and color signals improving both signals ability to provide more detail. RGB/VGA: RGB allows for Completely separate red, green and blue video element information. Brightness is basically the overall sum of the three Color signal brightness levels. RGB is inefficient, since lots of redundant signal is passed on the three connections. Component Video (Y-Pr-Pb) : Component video can actually mean a number of things, but is most associated with Y-Pr-Pb analog signals. Y-Pr-Pb encoding takes better advantage of available space and bandwidth on the video recording medium and cables, respectively. It is not compatible with RGB despite using Red, Green and Blue color coded connectors. HDMI: Digital Audio and Video in single connection. Todays most popular Audio/Video connection Analog Audio: Either Left/Right Stereo or could be multichannel analog such as 5.1 or 7.1 Digital Audio: Could be Coax or Optical or both for Digital signals.

The H-1B visa, Temporary Worker in a Specialty Occupation, is used to sponsor foreign nationals in a variety of professions where the job requires a minimum of a bachelor's degree or its equivalent and where the individual meets that requirement. Before an employer can sponsor an individual in H-1B status, the employer must file a petition (I-129) accompanied by a filing fee plus an anti-fraud fee with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The petition includes a Labor Condition Application certified by the U.S. Department of Labor attesting to, among other things, the payment of a prevailing wage.
Because H-1B regulations include a dual intent provision allowing an H-1B nonimmigrant to have immigrant intent, the H-1B is the visa NYU generally uses to sponsor tenured and tenure-track faculty. H-1B is also the status NYU scholars usually maintain while applying for permanent residence.
Scholars who have been subject to the two-year home residence requirement on the J visa and have not fulfilled that requirement or gotten it waived may not change to H-1B status.
The H-1B visa is an employer-specific visa. That is, a scholar may work for more than one employer in H-1B status but each employer must have filed an H-1B petition with USCIS. H-1B portability rules allow a scholar to work for a second employer as soon as the second employer files a petition with USCIS and while it is pending.
The H-1B can be used for a maximum time limit of six years. In cases where a scholar may have a Labor Certification or Immigrant Petition (I-140) pending for more than a year, H-1B status may be extended beyond the 6th year.
Employers may file an H-1B petition as early as six months in advance of the begin date of employment.

Real Housewives of New Jersey's Dina Manzo Reveals Secret Split
After seven years of marriage, previous Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dina Manzo separated from her husband Tommy.
The reality star appeared on the first season and a half of RHONJ with sister Caroline, who is married to Tommy's brother.
"My secret...I have been separated since October, my heart hurts but Tommy & I will always share a very special love," Manzo wrote on her Twitter early Saturday morning.
"So grateful for the support of my loved ones during this time, especially my spiritual friends. You know who u are xoxo."
The two tied the knot back in 2005, making it the second wedding for Dina. She was previously married to George Hadjiapostoli, with whom she has a 17-year-old daughter, Lexi.
"And of course my biggest supporter Lexi, Tommy adores her & they will remain close," Dina also tweeted after the confession.
So, is it a surprise that another Housewife is single, again?

By Caren Chaffee
This week, the Associated Press reported that a 9-year-old boy became the youngest person to reach the summit of Argentina's Aconcagua Mountain. The summit is 22,841 feet high and is the tallest peak in the Western and Southern hemispheres. The boy set his goal, held fundraisers to both offset his costs as well as raise money for a nonprofit organization that funds research for muscular dystrophy and worked out twice daily to prepare for the climb. After receiving special permission from an Argentine judge (ordinarily, no one younger than 14 is allowed to climb the mountain), he accomplished this amazing feat alongside his father and a professional climber.
The story is inspiring in many ways – reaching a nearly 23,000 foot summit is a life-changing accomplishment for anyone, of any age; hearing of a 9 year old who puts forth efforts to raise money to benefit others is heartwarming; learning of a father who had no personal interest in making the climb but trained and completed it to help his son reach his goal is demonstrative of a parent's commitment.
The 9 year old was quoted as saying, "Any kid can really do this; all they have to do is try. And set their mind to the goal."
Every day, youth set goals for themselves. Not all of them involve physically climbing a mountain – but to an individual youth, his or her goal may feel just as lofty. Many youth face great personal challenges and work very hard toward overcoming these challenges. As caregivers, mentors and significant adults in the lives of children and adolescents, it is imperative that we foster and support the goals they set for themselves. Our support may not involve physically training to reach a summit, but it is just as important: providing advice, lending a supportive ear, giving guidance and education, allowing for falls and failures, being available to help after a stumble and celebrating the successes along the way are all vital to youth reaching their accomplishments and ambitions.
When we offer our support to youth for a goal that they set, we are giving them tacit permission to try, to fail and to succeed. We are teaching them that all of these steps – attempt, failure and success – are permissible and even desirable. Setting a goal and taking steps toward reaching a goal allows for emotional growth. What may be seen as a "small" goal to some may actually be a significant step for someone else. And therefore, any support that we provide may become an essential part of a youth's success and emotional growth.

Have you finally completed decorating a new room in your house? Carefully chosen the layout, the furniture, the fittings and fixtures, the colour scheme, everything..? But still think its missing that little extra something? One thing guaranteed to bring your room to life and make it look stunning is of course, flowers. Your can choose vases and flowers to compliment pretty much any room of any theme. Is it a formal dining or reception room? A few tall vases with beautiful white lillies would look fantastic, or for a splash of colour perhaps some bold red proteas and antirrhinums. Have a bit of space in the Kitchen? Try fresh flowers for table arrangements to bring colour and life to your kitchen at all times. For your plush new master bedroom suite? A lovely mixed bouquet or two with foliage and colours to match your bedding, be careful not to go for strong scented flowers though, and watch the watering on your new shag pile carpet!
If you have a conservatory or room with a lot of natural light, then they are perfect for growing palms and other shrubs, which when complimented with a few bright and unusual flower arrangements can give your new room an almost exotic atmosphere.
Flowers do not always last a long of course, you could even look at getting some 'plastic' flowers that last forever, but the impact will never be as good. Depending on your budget, try rotating which rooms your have flowers in, and then after a while you could settle on refreshing the flower arrangements in the room that you enjoyed them in the most.

While many countries are increasing engagement with their diasporas, U.S. policy has chiefly focused on U.S.-based diasporas from other countries, despite its own estimated overseas population of 7.6 million. This feature explores results from a survey of more than 1,400 U.S. citizens and 140 former citizens living abroad, many of whom are critical of limited U.S. government engagement with them even as restrictive financial reporting regulations have been imposed.

With more than 1.8 million immigrants living in the United States, the Philippines was the fourth largest country of origin in 2013. Filipino immigrants stand out from other top immigrant groups with their unique historical experience as former nationals due to U.S. annexation of the Philippines in 1899, close historic ties to the U.S. military, and prevalence in health-care professions.
Public frustration with decades of poor governance and pervasive corruption in Ukraine culminated in the EuroMaidan revolution in November 2013. Since then, violent conflict and Russia's annexation of Crimea have displaced an estimated 2 million people, both internally and internationally. This feature article explores migration ambitions among Ukrainians in the lead-up and aftermath of EuroMaidan, and the impact of war and economic crisis on traditional migration patterns.
In 2013, more than 25 million people in the United States reported limited English proficiency (LEP), an 80 percent increase since 1990. The LEP population, the majority of which is immigrant, is generally less educated and more likely to live in poverty than the English-proficient population. This Spotlight explores key indicators of the LEP population, both U.S. and foreign born, including geographic distribution, language diversity, and employment.
As legal challenges continue to impede President Obama's deferred action programs to protect millions of unauthorized immigrants from deportation, it is becoming increasingly clear that the window of opportunity for implementation before the 2016 election is growing ever narrower. Even as advocates continue mobilizing immigrants to apply, attention is shifting to other new policies announced by the president last November.
Even as Nepal will lean more heavily on its international diaspora to help recover from devastating earthquakes that killed thousands and decimated parts of the country, the disasters have had effects on internal migration. Class and gender dynamics have long driven significant internal flows. This feature article explores migration trends in Nepal, including movement between ecological zones, growing urbanization, and the feminization of an increasingly mobile workforce.

Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Recent policies — some more restrictive, some more liberal — reflect Austria's continuing ambivalence about immigration.

This year's commemoration will take place on September 11, 2013 at 10:03 a.m. This time is symbolic, because it is the time that the last plane, Flight 93, crashed in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, due to the heroic efforts of the passengers on that flight. It is believed that their actions in bringing down the plane saved untold numbers who would have perished otherwise.
The service will begin with the tolling of the chapel bells commemorating the moment that Flight 93 went down, and will last approximately 1/2 hour. Chaplain David MacDonald will lead the ceremony and clergy from the Ada area are being invited to participate in the program as well.

Thank God! The REAL Stanley Campbell is BACK!!! Gone is that impersonator who for the last 6 months has uttered thoughts that were sometimes even reasonable.
The REAL Stan Campbell, that foaming-at-the-mouth, Left-Wing Extremist, with all the kooky Stalinist Workers Utopia/Paradise nonsense has returned.
Let's get done to business, Stan. Last year, the TAXPAYERS of this state (yes, I know you pay little or no taxes, Stan, but hear me out!), paid $3.5 BILLION for illegal immigrant benefits. That includes their primary physicians bill (aka the Emergency Room), and to educate their kids and keep them healthy.
I don't blame poor people, I'd want free stuff too. So let's say we go with Stans idea to "throw open the floodgates", every poor person in Central and South America would flock here. The middle class that I worked so hard to join would be destroyed by taxes to care of these poor.
The American we know today would be replaced by a European-style Proletariate/Bourgeois society. There would be no middle class, there would be no chance of social mobility for any of us. There would be civil war, the shooting kind Stan, where millions of people die.
I say keep them out, and send the illegals that are here now packing. I also say send the Americans who hire them straight to jail for ten years…see if they pull that crap again!

Just wanted to be one of the first to say... Mobile Nations.... Such an epic network! Long may it live providing everyone with the most balanced, up to date, and factual news available!
Introducing Mobile Nations, our new community network brand!
Greetings TiPB Nation!
This past summer we soft-launched "Mobile Nations", initially using the name for our cross-site podcast that brings together the heads of state from AndroidCentral, CrackBerry, TiPb, PreCentral and WPCentral for discussion on all things mobile.
Today I have the pleasure of more formally introducing Mobile Nations as our new network brand, creating an umbrella under which all of our individual communities stand united. Take note of the new Mobile Nations top bar and footer on this site!
Though our history in operating the leading mobile-platform dedicated websites reaches back over a decade to the launch of VisorCentral in 1999, it feels like we are in start-up mode again, making aggressive plans and tackling our to-do lists with gusto. Forum regulars will have already noticed a number of recently introduced feature enhancements and podcast fans are now able to watch replays of their favorite shows in video. Over the weeks and months ahead you'll see us pull the trigger on a number of other Mobile Nations initiatives currently in the works, all aimed at making your experiences on all of our communities even more engaging and fun.
Thanks for being part of the journey,

Introducing Mobile Nations, our new community network brand!
I would only say some of the blogging talent clearly overshadows others. There's some weak links in the mobile nations chain. Precentral has been hurting for a while now and it has nothing to do with HP or webOS becoming irrelevant. At which point do you decide to exclude them from the majors?
I understand that the logo is supposed to represent a generic smartphone screen, but what is it with the word "Nation" that causes companies/organizations to use basically the exact same logo with a different color? National Geographic (yellow), Nationwide Insurance (blue) and now Mobile Nation (orange).

Your father is having chest pains. Your daughter breaks her leg. You suddenly develop the worst headache you've ever had. When an accident or illness strikes, are you confident when seeking emergency care? Same-Day Surgery to Meet Your Needs The Ambulatory Care Center at Summerville Medical Center has four state-of-the-art operating rooms and two endoscopy rooms, and the department offers general, orthopedic, ear/nose/throat, podiatry and obstetrical/gynecological surgical services. The Ambulatory Care Center at Trident Medical Center has 12 state-of-the-art operating rooms and four endoscopy suites, and offers all of the services available at Summerville Medical Center plus the da Vinci robot for gynecological and urological procedures. "Minimally invasive surgeries result in less post-operative pain and faster recovery," says Lynn Singleton, chief nursing officer at Summerville Medical Center. "These outpatient procedures make our medical services even more convenient and efficient for members of our community." Hospital emergency room (ER) use is increasing across the country, and recent reports indicate more than half of those who seek care from hospital ERs have non-life-threatening problems such as earaches or sore throats. The benefits of visiting the ER only during a true emergency include cost savings for you and respect for the need to keep physicians and staff available for patients whose lives are truly in danger. "Emergency" Defined A true emergency is any medical condition that is acute and poses an immediate threat to your life or long-term health. If the condition is sudden and extremely painful, seek immediate emergency treatment. "The emergent situations we see most often include patients experiencing ill-defined abdominal or chest pain and trauma-related incidents like car wrecks," says Baird Oldfield, MD, board-certified emergency medicine physician and medical director of Trident Health System emergency services. "Our emergency physicians and staff are trained to handle a broad spectrum of injuries and illnesses." When you arrive at the ER, a triage registered nurse will check your vital signs and determine the severity of your symptoms. Patients with the most urgent needs receive the most immediate care. An ER visit can take time due to the need to wait for test results, monitor your condition and watch for any potential reactions to medication. Following diagnosis, you will receive appropriate treatment and education on your condition. If you need inpatient care, you may be admitted to the hospital directly from the ER. For non-emergency care, a visit to a hospital ER can be more expensive and is likely to take longer than an appointment with a primary care physician. When emergency care is called for, however, your hospital ER is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with specialists available on call to respond as needed. In a medical emergency, call 9-1-1. Trident Health System has implemented the Triage Biosite" Cardiac System to accelerate diagnosis of patients with suspected heart attacks.

The Big Leg was the very goofy move Hulk Hogan used to do to win matches when I was a child. He'd kick the guy in the face, and that guy would fall down. Hogan would then make a sharp right turn, bounce off the ropes, and then leap into the air, landing his leg across the chest of the opponent...FTW!
I mean, if King Kong Bundy and Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Bad News Brown fell before it, what chance might Frank Mir have?

You know I want Mir to win so badly, so bad that I'd almost take you up on this bet. Sadly this is obviously just a setup for Brock and making the UFC more attractive to more people.
Do I think tha Mir will end up breaking Brocks arm ala Tim Sylvia? ... err no, he's past that (sadly).

text: Alright, it's mechanically done. Feeds, pops primers, extracts, ejects etc. Now I have to take it all apart, clean and lube it up, drill the gas ports in the gas tube and test fire it. I might not be able to get to a range for a week, but If you don't hear from me in 2 weeks, I blew up. I did a BAR inspired no PG trigger to make it "featureless" to comply with CA law (don't ask, it's not my law). Then start with making it look pretty. Thanks for all the help everyone. I'll take pics of all the internals later when I clean it.

National site selector sees potential of Toledo, NW Ohio regionWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
Tim Feemster, a national site selector, said Toledo and Northwest Ohio have many positive factors for attracting new business to the region.
Feemster, managing principal of Foremost Quality Logistics based in Dallas, was the keynote speaker at the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority's second annual update to the community, held Oct. 10 at The Pinnacle in Maumee.
"You have a very good situation in Northwest Ohio," he said.
Feemster talked about the importance of teamwork in the region and said it's one of the things site selectors look for when reviewing potential locations for clients. They consider financial, strategic, operational and intangible factors when reviewing potential sites, he said during his presentation.
"We've never had more alignment with the economic development agencies in the region during the 25 years I have worked for the Port Authority. We spend more time working on solutions than talking about problems," said Paul Toth, president and CEO of the local Port Authority.
Transportation is the largest cost (63 percent) of doing business for supply chain operators, Feemster reported. He said this region is very fortunate to have all four major forms of transportation that includes air, sea, rails and roads.
The Port Authority controls two of those transportation modes, operating both local airports and the Port of Toledo on the Maumee River.
"We're actually site eliminators for our clients," said Feemster, whose firm works with supply chain clients throughout the site selection process.
Site selectors for warehouse facilities are concerned about availability and costs for transportation and labor, as well as logistics infrastructure. Modern distribution facilities are needed to meet the growing demand for goods in emerging global markets, Feemster said.
For example, Amazon will need 90 distribution centers across the country to achieve its goal of 24-hour delivery, Feemster said. He pointed out the number of significant distribution centers in Northwest Ohio with nearly 5,000 employees, including facilities operated by FedEx, UPS and Walgreens.
"The Port Authority is dedicated to moving the community forward," Toth said.
Toth talked about what the Port Authority will be focusing on in 2014.
The development of the former Jeep property, now called Overland Industrial Park, is a key priority in 2014 with construction of the AirGas facility and a $5.3 million 100,000 square-foot spec building by the Port Authority and Harmon Family Development.
Feemster said 100,000-square-feet is a good number in this market for supply chains that may be looking for secondary or tertiary distribution facilities, especially with its close proximity to the nearby Jeep manufacturing complex.
The roadway for the development was completed by the first week in October. Plans are in place to break ground for the AirGas facility and the spec building before the end of 2013, Toth reported.
Toth said another priority is establishing an EB-5 international investment vehicle and expanding use of the Foreign Trade Zone that includes five counties in the region.
Toth said the Port Authority wants to add $350,000 to the Community Economic Development Initiative in Northwest Ohio, which has already provided $2.1 million in grants and low-interest loans. They will continue to pursue New Market Tax Credits to support community development projects, such as the Ironville site.
The Port Authority and Midwest Terminals have invested $118 million of public and private funds in the development of the water side of the 180-acre Ironville Terminal. In 2014, they plan to invest another $15 million in the development of the 110 acres on the dry side at Ironville.
Toth said the Port wants to build on the 2013 success at Toledo Express Airport that included six straight months of passenger increases and two new cargo operators there. It invested $11 million to resurface the longest runway while making upgrades to the airport terminal and parking lots.
In 2013, the Port Authority purchased One Maritime Plaza, where its offices are located, and upgraded the building. It also purchased the former City of Toledo parking garages, investing $2.5 million in improvements to those facilities.
The Port Authority wants to expand the Better Buildings in Northwest Ohio program to $40 million after generating $20 million in improvements to 66 buildings in 2013. The Diversified Contractors Accelerator Program started in 2010 continued to help minority contractors bid on and win contracts for local projects.
"We've been good stewards of the public money and other funds we have used. We are for creating jobs, economic development, transportation and community outreach," William Carroll, chairman of the board of directors, said about the goals of the Port Authority.
The Port Authority is seeking a renewal of the property tax levy that expires next year with Issue 1 on the November ballot. The 0.4 mill renewal, collected at 1994 property values, would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $6.60 per year and generate approximately $2.1 million annually.
Levy funds are used primarily to leverage state and federal funds to support job creation, according to the Port Authority. It reports that for every $1 of levy funds, it brings $8 in outside money into Lucas County.

Received the kit 12/12/12 from Midway.
$229.00 without shipping.
Finish is excellent unissued cond.
Bakelite handguards are a color match.
All matching numbers on bolt, carrier, top cover.
no numbers on gas tube.
A few nice extras included.
The bayonet is beat up, mags are great cond.
There was one alteration to make the milled FSB work on a stamped trunnion.
I just filed away enough on the corner for clearance.
Also, the Lower milled HG has a smaller tang size.
I did some interior welding beads then filed for a perfect fit.
I sand blasted and parked everything before applying OD flat GunKote.
This is the AK-74 Bulgarian trunnion I reamed out for the 7.62 barrel.
There are a few fine tuning issues with doing this, but not that difficult.
I like how the OD plays off the marbled bakelite.
This build uses a Yugo rear UF trunnion. It allows plenty of clearance to fold
around a 30 rd mag. I welded around the butt of the trunnion for a seamless
The milled UF is more elegant than the stamped variety.
The more I look at the color contrast, the more I like it.
Will shoot her tomorrow to see what it will do.
These are some terrifically nice parts in this kit.
And, my first 7.62 Bulgarian mini-frankenstein.
