Unresectable Oropharyngeal Cancer
Standard treatment options:
Treatment options under clinical evaluation:
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy as given in clinical trials has been used to shrink tumors and thereby render them more definitively treatable with either surgery or radiation. Many drug combinations have been used in neoadjuvant chemotherapy.[21,22,23,24,25,26]
- Concomitant chemotherapy, i.e., chemotherapy with radiation clinical trials as well as with radiosensitizers.[7]
- Radiation clinical trials evaluating hyperfractionation schedules and/or brachytherapy should be considered.[17]
- Simultaneous chemotherapy and hyperfractionated radiation therapy.[27]
- Particle-beam radiation therapy.
- Hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy.
Posttreatment follow-up:
- These patients should have a careful head and neck examination to look for recurrence monthly for the first posttreatment year, every 2 months for the second year, every 3 months for the third year, and every 6 months thereafter.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage IV oropharyngeal cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

That's why I was interested when Sarial of The Uncommon Drop wrote in letting WoW Insider know about her goal to level a character in an unusual way. Her plan is to gain experience purely through the attainment of non-combat pets. There certainly are a plethora of vanity pets out there, and collecting them was once a passion I admit I spent a little too much bank space on.
As fascinating as this project might be, I'm not sure it can be done from level 1. The first non-combat pet in my recollection would be the one that drops from the Red Whelps in Wetlands after all. But Sarial will be grinding from level 40 to level 70 with her Blood Elf warlock, which seems to be a more reasonable range. There are certainly lots of pets out there to collect in zones around those levels. Would you ever consider leveling in this fashion?
[thanks Sarial!]

text: Three's a Party #1 is a pale, matte white. It's chalky, powdery, and sheer; fades quickly and easily on the lid without a tacky base (try NYX Milk). LORAC White, MAC Chill, Sugarpill Tako, Make Up For Ever #00, and Inglot #373 are all matte whites that are similar (almost all perform better, though). NYX Milk is a cream product.

As an owner of an electrician business in the Kansas City area, I've yet to see an Atronic system that is not installed with attention to detail, effectiveness, cosmetically pleasing devices, and ability to add on to. A customer asked me today why it was worth the cost for the new system he just had installed over the "free system" companies. I told him it's simple, if a burglary or fire happens, the police/ fire dispatch will actually believe it.

I made the initial call and Shawn returned the call and scheduled a consultation the same day. The installation was completed on Friday. On Saturday the thief was back and broke the basement window but the alarm sounded and he RAN. No further damages or loss thanks to an excellent sales staff that responded ASAP to my pleas for help. THANK YOU. August 2014

Everyone went out of their way to work around my challenges. Alysia made it clear she would do everything she could to help and welcomed me back as a customer. She makes you feel like you a valued customer. From Mike, who scheduled his crew, to the guys that came to our house, everyone acted professionally. I especially liked how Mike worked with me on scheduling. February 2014

I have not had an alarm system before so this was new to me. Your technicians were very patient with my repeat questions and did not leave until I was comfortable with the operations. Monitoring is excellent. The power went out just a few night after the system was installed. I very quickly got a call from central to make sure everything was alright. Very reassuring. (March 2014)

I work with April Davidson and Michael Weber almost on a daily basis. Both of them are prompt to answer my questions or handle a situation. Our business runs smoother because of them. The handful of times we have service technician out they're are prompt, courteous, and follow through on the job. Please pass on my sincere thanks for job well done each and every time. I can't say enough with my daily interactions with the Atronic Alarm team. Michael, April and Leslie do an outstanding job and offer top notch customer service. (September 2014)

Quick response by Jason to my email. Installation very quick and I felt very comfortable from the start with the company. Installers very courteous and worked quickly. Let me know of issues with my wired fire detectors and I was glad to later have them replaced. Quality Assurance Specialist explained patiently [about the system] and left great reference material. I have had 3 false alarms, and the call back has been so quick that I didn't have time to call first. Heather has been great with scheduling -- appreciate the reminder about the permit. She provided the link and I took care of it today. (February 2015)

Thank you!It was so nice of your installer to be flexible and work after hours to get our job done. We appreciate how everyone on your staff works as a team. Impressive! Just one suggestion, encourage everyone to have signs in their vehicles. Thank you. (October 2014)

COLUMBIA CITY — "If she was in the gym, she was happy."
Columbia City coaching legend Wayne Kreiger wasn't talking about a former player. He wasn't speaking of his wife, daughter or granddaughters.
The Indiana Hall of Fame coach was reminiscing on his mother, Helen Kreiger-Ziegler, of Huntington, the woman who has followed him throughout his entire basketball career.
COLUMBIA CITY — "If she was in the gym, she was happy."
Columbia City coaching legend Wayne Kreiger wasn't talking about a former player. He wasn't speaking of his wife, daughter or granddaughters.
The Indiana Hall of Fame coach was reminiscing on his mother, Helen Kreiger-Ziegler, of Huntington, the woman who has followed him throughout his entire basketball career.
His mom was there from the first time he picked up a basketball, through his high school and college careers and watched 33 years of girls basketball games at Columbia City as he reached 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 wins. She was there when he took the Lady Eagles to the state finals and she was there when he made the move to Canterbury to coach under his son, her grandson, Scott Kreiger.
The only thing Helen Kreiger didn't have the opportunity to see was her son win a state title.
This year marked the first season in 41 years that Helen missed tournament time.
At 92 years old and in deteriorating health, Helen was only able to go to one game all season.
"That really, really bothered her. Her health had started to decline. We were very concerned about her being out by herself or going to games," Wayne said.
With her son in the running for his first state title and her grandson one game away from his fourth championship ribbon, Helen wanted to be nowhere but Terre Haute for the girls state basketball finals.
Last Thursday, with the game scheduled just two days away on Saturday, Helen's health took a turn for the worse.
"Thursday the doctor called and said to come to the hospital because she wasn't doing well," Wayne said. "The doctor didn't think she would make it through the night."
Wayne said he was going to skip his first state title to stay home with his mother — but she wouldn't let him.
"She made me promise that I would be with Scott on Saturday," Kreiger said. "Before I left, I told her I was going to be gone for a couple days, but when I came back I would have a blue ribbon and a medal for her.
"She looked up at me and said 'good luck.'"
And that's how their earthly life together ended.
On Friday, Helen was still holding her own. Wayne said the doctor wrote on her chart that if she was still alive, the game needed to be on and she needed a speaker close to her so she could hear it.
On Saturday, Wayne said Helen's hospice nurse spoke to him.
"I'm telling you, she has willed herself to hear this basketball game," the nurse said.
As Helen had sat through numerous overtimes throughout her life, she put her own life into overtime.
She listened to the game as her grandson tied a state record with four state titles. She listened as her son was awarded the blue ribbon and medals he promised.
And 1.5 hours after the final buzzer, Helen passed away.
In a life encompassed with basketball, her final day on earth was only fitting.
Wayne's father, Earl Kreiger, who died in 1990, was also a basketball coach.
While her health was still intact, Wayne said Helen went to most of his home games and a lot of the away games.
Even as she got older, she would do everything she could to be in the gym.
"She made it a priority to be there," Wayne said. "I was uncomfortable with her being out at away games, so she'd find a friend or an acquaintance to take her.
"She even went to Huntington College and asked the athletic department if there was a student she could pay to take her to the games."
Rain, sun or snow, Helen was Wayne's biggest fan.
"Some nights when the weather was bad I'd call her and tell her to stay home and listen to it on the radio," Wayne said. "Sometimes she'd listen. Sometimes she wouldn't."
And when she couldn't make it, Helen always made sure her son had support after the game.
"She was very, very active in terms of the support," Wayne said. "She would always make sure she was either there after the game or she would make sure that somebody was there.
"She always wanted to make sure there was a support staff. She was all about family. If I was to define her in the way that she wanted people to remember her, it would be that family was first."
As the wife, mother and grandmother of three generations of high school basketball coaches, Helen's work behind the scenes was astounding.
"She wanted to make sure everybody was taken care of," Wayne said. "She wasn't the one in the limelight, but she would always be there as the supporting role."
While Wayne was coaching at Columbia City and Scott at Canterbury, Helen would try to make it to as many games as possible.
"She was a little disappointed when I retired from Columbia City. She said, 'That'll cut half of my ball games down,'" Wayne said.
Wayne said his mother was one of the reasons he was interested in basketball in the first place.
"She took me to games when I was very young," he said. "I guess that's one of the reasons I was interested in basketball."
"Basketball has a real strong thread in our family," Wayne said.
And Helen was the fabric the thread wove through.

Read Poems by

Tucker Carwile Jr
Starting the perilous journey,
first one foot,
and then the other.
Entering the icy water of the
mountain stream.
Steadying, loose footing on moss
covered rocks.
Making my way upstream,
moving forward.
Jumping great crevices of mountain water.
From rock to rock,
ever onward.
To the solitude of nature,
away from prying eyes.
Finally, after ankle bruises,
wet from head to toe.
I reach my final goal,
where no man has walked in ages.
The quiet,
to hear my mind think.
Lying back against some giant rock,
ruler of my own domain.
I bask in my victory of the
Sream Walker.
But soon my time will end,
returning to civilization.
But for once,
I was the olympic winner
in the stream walking event

Look – Light Smoky Eye for Day and Night
On Saturday, we went out to celebrate my Mom's birthday at a French restaurant, so I dolled myself up with a different take on the traditiona smoky eye. Still staying with grays and blacks, but I went for a light lid. I haven't decided if I liked it or not, LOL. Happy Veteran's Day!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Soft Ochre paint pot (nude base), Femme-fi eyeshadow (beige), Smut eyeshadow (cool brown), Silver Ring eyeshadow (silver), Shroom eyeshadow (beige), Carbon eyeshadow (black), Silverstroke Fluidline (silver gel liner), Feline kohl power (black liner), Plushlash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: NARS Super Orgasm blush (soft peach-pink)
- Lips: Strawberry Blonde lipstick (coral-pink), Cult Fave lipglass (pink)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Femme-fi = Shroom; Feline = Grahpblack; Strawberry Blonde = Skew; Cult Fave = Pinkarat
Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Soft Ochre paint pot all over the lid as the base with the 249. On the inner lid, apply Femme-fi eyeshadow using the 239, then blend and cover entire lid. Apply Smut eyeshadow lightly in the outer crease. Darken crease using Carbon eyeshadow lightly tapped into outer most crease. Above crease, lightly apply Silver Ring eyeshadow to diffuse the shades. Sweep Shroom underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Silverstroke fluidline on upper lash line and inner lower lash line, then apply Feline kohl power on outer lower lash line (smudged/smoked with Carbon eyeshadow), and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with NARS Super Orgasm blush using the 129. Apply Strawberry Blonde lipstick to lips, and then top with Cult Fave lipglass for color and shine.

Well this is the time for all the financial gurus to post their bets for investments in the coming year. Here are mine:
Health Care. President Obama's new health care bill delivers 30 million new clients to the health care industry. Of course these people, contrary to popular belief, have already been receiving health care, but now they will have insurance, which presumably will mean an increase in their use of medical services. The obvious first choice for investors is to put money in the health insurance companies. Pharmaceutical companies are also a good bet. Hospitals and clinics also merit consideration.
Security. The Christmas Day thwarted attempt to blow up an airplane over Detroit has everyone buzzing about the proper level of security we need to protect us from evil doers. Obvious choices for investments here are companies who build the new "naked" body scanners for airports. Also take a look at firms that make any security "hardware." Still another choice will be companies that train security forces and staff.
Defense. As we ratchet up our forces in Afghanistan, defense industry firms will do well. Take a look at the companies who build the drone aircraft that have become the weapon of choice to take out "terrorists."
Construction. No, not home builders, but the groups who build "shovel ready" projects to be financed by the stimulus bill and its possible sequel.
Alternative Energy. No matter what happens in our pursuit of an international agreement to reduce carbon emmissions, tons of money will be spent on developing alternative energies. Funny enough, the largest investors in "new" energies will be the companies who supply us with the "old" energies. I see a great future for my BP shares. However, be careful investing in the new ventures, since they will suffer a high mortality rate.
Finance Industry. As I have been saying all along, take a close look at those who are active in "securitized" debt and other derivatives. My consistent suggestion here is Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
While I trust you will see the subtle humor, don't be deceived. These are good investment bets for the coming year.

PCOS machine anomalies point to 'probable fraud' -PHL Computer Society
The voting machines that were used to vote and transmit election results in the May 2010 national polls had anomalies that raised questions on the integrity of the voting system and election results, according to an assessment by the Philippine Computer Society (PCS).
The PCS said it was asked by Biliran Kawsa, a local civic group based in Biliran, to examine the audit trail of the PCOS machines used in the Philippines' first ever automated elections two years ago.
The PCOS machines —which are capable of reading ballots marked by voters and transmitting the results to a board of canvassers— were supplied by Smartmatic-TIM, a company that was started in Venezuela. The company won the P690-million contract to implement the Philippines' automated elections in 2010.
According to the PCS, the audit panel was to provide a technical appreciation of the evidence presented by Biliran Kawsa regarding what they claim were instances of fraud committed during the May 10, 2010 elections specific to Biliran.
"Based on the evidences presented, the PCS panel concluded that there were highly questionable instances where the probability of fraud may have been perpetrated using the PCOS machines," it said in its preliminary assessment report.
The PCS said it has sent a copy of its technical assessment to the Comelec and various lawmakers.
According to the report, the audit trails of the PCOS machines and the municipal board of canvassers showed insecurities in the transmission of the results.
The following are the three major findings of the PCS based on the audit logs of the machines from Biliran:
- The audit trail of the MBOC computers showed that it received the transmission of the elections results for a precinct from an internet address. But, a few hours later, the same audit trail showed that the MBOC computer received another batch of election results for the SAME precinct from ANOTHER internet address. Seven (7) precincts were observed to have this pattern.
- The audit trail of a PCOS in a certain precinct showed all the tasks that the PCOS performed, including four unsuccessful transmission attempts to the MBOC computers. The last entry in the audit trail was the closing down of the PCOS with no results transmitted. But three hours later, the MBOC audit trail showed that the MBOC computer received, from a different IP address, a successful transmission from the precinct where the PCOS was already closed.
- There was an instance when the transmission to the MBOC occurred past midday of May 11 or about 29 hours after the polling place first opened.
- The PCS technical panel said their findings showed that there was the possibility that the voting machines from one precinct could send different results. It also indicated that the MBOC could accept voting results even as the precincts were closed.
The MBOC audit logs also showed errors in Spanish. According to the PCS, Smartmatic-TIM could have recycled software used in past election exercises. "The Filipino taxpayer may have paid brand new prices for second hand PCOS machines," it said.
Biliran was among the districts that called into question the results of their local elections.
Just after the May 2010 polls, the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) in Biliran wrote to the Comelec decrying the alleged questionable activities involving election workers and voting machines in the last May 10 elections.
In their letter to Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, members of PPCRV Biliran and concerned citizens said they documented instances of voters disenfranchisement, harassment of watchers, irregularities in the conduct of the Board of Election Inspectors, and malfunctioning and missing voting machines.
Rev. Fr. Marvyn Maceda, the PPCRV local coordinator, in a report said: "We strongly recommend that these allegations of massive cheating not only in the province of Biliran but also in other places, be looked into by the Comelec, especially if these allegations involved the PCOS machines and memory cards: the very hearts of our automated elections."
The PPCRV, the Comelec's accredited citizen's arm in the last elections, urged the poll body "to conduct immediate recount of our votes both valid and invalid in each of the eight municipalities throughout the Province of Biliran." The proclamation of the winning candidates should be annulled and the results set aside, they said.
The Comelec said it is keen on implementing an automated election in 2013. Although there were no agreements yet on what technology to use, the poll body said Smarmatic-TIM's technology is under consideration.
However, the PCS said the Comelec should carefully study its plans for the 2013 polls.
"Moving forward, the Philippine Computer Society enjoins the Commission on Elections and its newly formed Advisory Council as well as the Joint Congressional Oversight Committee on Automated Elections to thoroughly review its plans for the upcoming automation of the 2013 elections to avoid instances such as the ones previously mentioned that will cast doubts on the integrity of the election process," the group said. — TJD, GMA News

Number of victims hit by rogue sellers on the rise 'due to recession'
Posted: January 04, 2013|
ROGUE selling is on the up in Derbyshire – and the county's trading standards boss blames it on the recession.
Robert Taylour said some unemployed people have become so "desperate" for work they have ended up at "immoral" companies which scam customers.
He said, while some had quit in protest at being told to use high-pressure sales tactics, Mr Taylour predicted others remained with dishonest firms to keep up with their household bills.
Mr Taylour, head of trading standards at Derbyshire County Council, said it was a significant problem.

The council could not provide specific figures but Mr Taylour said his team had noticed the increase of complaints. He said the problem created several types of "victims".
"There are people who have been desperate for employment and have ended up working for very profitable enterprises, which use high-pressure sales techniques to persuade people to purchase a product or service they do not want," said Mr Taylour.
"Many of them needed work but, after taking the job, have said: 'I'm not happy with how things are done' and decided not to stick it out.
"They are victims with the vulnerable customers who have been targeted, along with, I guess, those who feel they have no choice but to stay in their job – even though they disagree with what they are paid to do."
Mr Taylour said one area which kept his department "very busy" was firms which prey on the elderly, in a bid to sell them mobility aids they do not want or need.
The scam sees an elderly householder receive an unsolicited phone call from a rogue trader, who gives the impression they are calling on behalf of social services or the NHS.
However, the true purpose of the call is to elicit an appointment to see the householder. Once invited into the victim's property, the rogue trader is able to subject the householder to their high-pressure sales techniques.
This includes an "assessment" of their needs – during which they will typically ask what medication the householder is taking to further support the impression they are from a health or care service.
Last year, a couple who ran two former mobility companies admitted defrauding elderly victims out of more than £40,000.
Husband and wife Amarjit, 51, and Ranjit Gill, 45, ran Virgo Healthcare Limited and Lifestyle from premises in Gainsborough Business Park, Long Eaton.
Amarjit Gill was sentenced to 18 months in prison and Ranjit Gill was given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid community work.
Mr Taylour said most rogue traders worked under a commission structure, which sees them get paid more if they manage to sell a product at a price above a certain level. Other tactics include "special discounts", designed to get a customer to order straight away.
The trading standards team at the council have also received examples of companies failing to honour cancellations and taking cash upfront but failing to deliver any goods.

Chittenango They managed to beat the storms last Tuesday and finish most of Section III Class B girls track and field championships last Tuesday at Chittenango High School, and local athletes would find plenty of success.
Marcellus, again led by Rachel Garn, finished fifth in the Class B-1 meet, picking up 57 points, though Skaneateles prevailed with 100 points.
In a tough 1,500-mter race, Garn, in a time of four minutes, 57.44 seconds, held off CBA's Maire-Kate McGlynn (4:59.01) to finish first. She later ran 800 meters in 2:24.60, outlasting Skaneateles' Madeline Adams (2:26.29) and the rest of the field to prevail.
Johanna Sylcox threw the shot put 32 feet 11 ¼ inches, putting her in second place as sister Suzanna Sylcox (30'2") was third and added a sixth in the discus. Kaitlyn Heath cleared 7 feet in the pole vault to share fourth place as Paige Manahan took fifth (4'4") in the high jump.
Zoe Higgins also found points as she finished third in the 400-meter hurdles in 1:12.66, this following a fourth-place time of 18.06 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles final. Abbie Fallon was fifth (13.31 seconds) in the 100-meter dash as Haley Randall got sixth in the 400 hurdles behind Higgins.
Solvay got all of its points from the discus, where Belicia Nieves was third, heaving it 86'4", with Jhanasia McBride fourth (81'3") and Samantha Waters (79'6") in fifth. Angela Frateschi was fourth in the pentathlon when storms arrived, halting the event.
In Class B-2, Jordan-Elbridge finished fifth out of 10 teams, with 54 points, as Adirondack (138 points) zoomed to the top, but the Eagles won four different events.
Brianna Byrnes, Julie Hines, Brittany Hares and Emily Weichert combined to take the 4x400 relay in a time of 4:19.08, with Adirondack (4:21.37) in second.
Individually, Byrnes needed 2:28.58 to prevail in the 800 by 2.26 seconds over Sherburne-Earlville's Madeline Dubois. Weichert held off Adirondack's Justine Lee, 1:11.22 to 1:11.53, in the 400 hurdles final, while Emily Hartwell got 1,052 point in a weather-shortened pentathlon.

Facing academic and financial deadlines, some of thestudents suspected in a cheating scandal have decided to take a leave of absence rather than face possible suspension for a year, according to people briefed on the matter.
Harvard officials declined to confirm or deny a report on Tuesday by Sports Illustrated that one of its star basketball players, Kyle Casey, was among the students withdrawing, and he could not be reached for comment. The university also would not say how many of the students have so far taken a voluntary leave, or how many of those are varsity athletes.
Tuesday was officially the last day that undergraduate students could withdraw without being responsible for any tuition payment, though several hundred dollars in fees, room and board could still be assessed. But an academic calendar published by Harvard incorrectly listed the deadline as Wednesday, so university officials said tuition-free withdrawals would be accepted on that day as well.
Tuesday was also the last day to register for classes for the semester that began a week earlier.

I blink, turn my head to the front of the classroom and see my teacher staring down at me. Half the class is staring at me too, actually. My classmate behind me, I don't know his name, nudges me slightly, and I gulp and repeat, "It's – er – forty-seven."
"Correct. And no more dawdling, Mr. Baxter."
I nod obediently and look down at my desk, feeling the heat in my face turning something red. But after awhile, I just can't help it. I glance casually (longingly) at the girl seated near the window, her attention so detached from the classroom I wonder what world she is in this time.
I do this every Monday.
I know I'm being annoying. I've known it since the moment I started, in the winter of our sophomore year of high school. I would have started freshman year, truly I would have, but it took me a little while to get over the fear of her. Get over the fear of girls in general, their mystique, their bouncy curls and pink lips and dainty wrists and the way their bodies fold and curve under their pastel blouses in ways I just…
Oh, I'm a teenager, all right?
She's at her locker, almost posted there as if waiting to take flight. I figure she just waits for me now, eager to get it over with.
"It's Monday."
"I'm aware."
"Would you like to go steady with me?"
She slams her locker with such force that her ponytail bounces like a spring on a board. She turns to me, a tight smile on her lips, and says, "Not this week, Kenny."
"Next Monday, then?" I call to her retreating figure and her circle skirt that sways, sways, sways against the back of her calves.
It's ironic, really, when you contrast Michelle's attraction to me and to nearly every other girl at school. I'm not being narcissistic (okay, maybe only a little bit), it's just true.
I pump gas down at the service station on the same street as the local diner. The owner doesn't make me wear those stuffy button ups and sports coats like the other stations do, so when I slip into my worn jeans and white tee, hair slicked back with some of my brother's pomade, the girls come flocking like a moth to a flame.
"Wow, Kenny," they chant together like muses in the chorus, "You look so cool."
"Really far out."
I smile bashfully, usually take one of them out for a milkshake later. That's my version of romance. Though it's hard to be romantic when all I'm thinking of is how Michelle's lips would look curved around the straw sucking vanilla ice cream out of a cup. I figure her version of romance is like striking matches against skin.
My family gets our first television set, a late Christmas gift for all of us. We eat split pea soup and tuna casserole for dinner and watch The Goldbergs together.
"They say another one of these shows is going on air soon. About a woman named Lucy."
My mother scoffs. "Women do not need to be on television."
I adjust the collar of my tartan shirt. "Any chance you'd wanna be my girlfriend?"
"Happy Monday, Kenny."
"Odds just aren't in my favor, huh?"
In between school and work and track practice and homework and parties and friends and family, my attention is caught between my real life and this imaginary life, one with an audience and a laugh track and I'm in black and white and so is she and I sing through my mouth, "Michelle, I'm homeee!"
But no – no – I think she's a three-dimensional girl born in a two dimensional world. Where we would all be in black and white, she would be the sole source of color on the screen (imagine that, colored television).
We lose the big track meet, and half of the school goes under the bleachers to get drunk, and the other half head to the diner, and my mouth almost drops when I see her, trotting alongside her tall older brother, Nathan, as they leave a finished vanilla milkshake at a red vinyl booth.
I'm walking, then I'm running, skipping, flying towards her: "Can I walk you home?"
She doesn't even get a say in because all three of us are already out the door, my letterman jacket wrapped around her against the night's cold. I give Nathan a couple of quarters to go to the arcade near the diner, and Michelle mutters a "thank you."
"Aw, don't sound so excited." I tease, and she makes a face. Silence.
"Sorry about your meet."
"You watched?"
"No. But I heard people talking."
"Yeah. Well. Better you weren't there then."
"Oh. Well..." I scrunch up my face, not knowing how to explain it. "Didn't want you to see me embarrass myself, I guess?"
"And you don't think asking me to go steady every Monday doesn't?"
"Heard you walked Bates home last night."
A round of kissing noises fill the locker room. I rub a towel on the back of my head, throw it at one of my teammates, and mumble, "Cool it."
But I wonder if under all their laughter, they can hear it. Hear the beat of my heart, how I can even feel the sickly sweet love in my bloodstream.
It's petty of me really, when I get jealous when I see her talking with other guys.
But then the laugh track that's ever present bubbles out of me when she just blinks at them because the only real threat is Michelle herself.
"Beautiful Monday."
"Wanna go steady?"
"Oh, Kenny. Maybe next week."
That's not a no.
I doodle in math. While girls are in econ class and boys are in shop, I think I could be an artist (hah – hardly, maybe in another life), so I take pictures and put them into words instead and write poems on the side of my notes, tucked away where no one else can see, like how a kiss can be hidden in the corner of a mouth.
"We can't keep meeting like this."
"At my locker?"
"Eh, logistics," I wave it off.
"Is there something you want to ask me?"
"As a matter of fact, there is!"
"I'm baffled, truly."
"Would you go to the dance with me?"
"...That's a new one."
"So would you?"
She hesitates, her breath catching, and I cross my fingers behind my back, hoping this time she'll say something different than her usual 'I don't think so'.
"You didn't say no.."
"I don't go to dances."
"Then we'll go for the food then leave."
"I don't think that's how it works."
"Then how does this work, Michelle? Please, enlighten me. I'd love to know."
We're not talking about dances anymore, and it's in these spaces between the words that deserve the sappy music behind the soaps my sister watches. It's in the way the beloved syllable 'yes' passes her lips that I lose myself, and I think maybe, just maybe, I might find her.
She fights over letting me pick her up in my tailfin car. Something about her house being too small, but I just shake my head, insisting, "nonsense, I'm only one guy. Can't take up that much room."
But she wins, of course she wins, because saying no to her is like jumping off a building and trying to fight gravity.
I wait for her in front of school, hands stuffed in my suit pockets and hair combed back slick and stylish, and it's only by chance that I see her at the most perfect moment; walking towards me, standing under the champagne moonlight, stars like silver peppers against the dark sky, and it's like she was born to be there with a full orchestra playing behind her. Her with her velvet curls and rosy lips, pinching her cotton dress between her fingers. She's biting her lip, and I hope, by the end of the night, I might just be able to do that for her. I think, in my wildest imagination, I can be the Gable to her Lombard. Tracy to her Hepburn. Bogart to her Bacall.
She looks uncomfortable, approaches me with her brow furrowed and her arms crossed. "I look silly."
But I think she must be absolutely crazy and I grab her wrist, so small and fragile in my fingers, and pull it down so it rests by her side and I can get a proper look at her.
"I didn't know someone could be so pretty."
"You're having an awful time, aren't you?"
She sighs, forcing a smile. "I'm all right."
"Come on, let's get outta here."
"No, really."
"You really are a lousy liar."
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Only every Monday."
I fidget with the poem in my left hand and drive with my right. I haven't come all this way, haven't loved her for this long to just drive her home. I don't know where I'm going, just moving aimlessly to kill time and work up the courage to pass a simple note, to hand it to her, like one current passing through another.
And when I hand it to her, I can feel my heart leap to my throat, and I want to fold her up in my note and in her answer and breathe it in until she relaxes in the absoluteness of it. I start to recite the words in my head, words I've uttered every Monday for a year and a half, but this time it feels different..
Michelle Bates...would you go steady with me?
And then my mind goes fuzzy and dark and eventually blank, like the television set in my home, with it's black and white pictures, quiet then no sound.
The next morning, Mrs. Baxter turns on the television, expecting to see Lucille Ball on the black and white screen. She waits all morning by the door for her son to get home, he's just never come home this late after a party before. The notes of the 12 o'clock headlines comes on, and habit pulls her to look at the screen. The news anchor reveals his somber headline, and Mrs. Baxter goes absolutely still.

Gah. Oh my dear Lord. This is so... so... well there's really not a word to describe it... none will do it justice. It's just not fair how quickly my feelings were pulled out and ripped and enlightened, and oh my, just the emotion... This is fantastic. Brilliant. You are a magnificent writer.

Although I'm sorry your emotions were torn to shreds, that was the idea! Thank you so much!
I hope you see the world for how it really is.

I find this to be a refreshing, imaginative piece -- even though it is wrapped around a familiar theme/idea. Nicely done. I like the style of it, the snatches of scenes and the progression of the characters. The spareness of it adds to the sensation of an almost obsession the main character has in trying to win over Michelle. You have a strong, direct writing style that adds to this. And you have a really good handle on dialogue -- one of the hardest things to do, I think. So thank you.
A couple of thoughts: I found the opening scene a bit hard to understand. Wasn't sure the significance of 47 or what, exactly was going on. For instance, who says the opening line? ... If the intention is to show that the character is daydreaming, is there a way to do that so the reader (old guy like me) doesn't start with a bit of confusion. I would say that this was the only spot where I got a bit confused.
The ending is, well, unexpected and credible, interesting and arresting, but ... it also hovers so closely to a cliche. And why do you want them to die?
And just a little detail issue... While we never had a TV growing up (a lot of folks didn't; it was after all, the '50s) when I did travel to visit my aunt in NYC, programming stopped at 11 and was usually followed by the national anthem (flag waving in breeze) and then the test pattern which was displayed until 6 a.m. for a farm show. There weren't news bulletins and news was at 6. ... So your details on this score didn't quite ring true. ... Perhaps a phone call could achieve the same thing? Cops at the door? A teacher/principal at the door?
An ambitious and highly readable piece. Thanks so much for sharing this.

The Department of Defense announced today the selection of two winning partnership projects, in the states of Florida and Washington as part of its "Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Challenge." The REPI Challenge will provide projects at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., and Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., with $5 million total in funds to advance innovative, cost-sharing buffer partnerships.
The $5 million awarded to the two projects attracted $25.75 million in outside partner funds that together will be able to protect more than 23,500 acres of valuable habitat that buffers the two installations.
The REPI Challenge advances the mission of DoD's REPI program by encouraging larger projects that can leverage more outside funding. Since 2003, the REPI program has supported partnerships with conservation organizations and state and local governments to protect 264,000 acres of buffer lands at 66 installations in 24 states.
The 2013 winning REPI Challenge projects are:

Although the timing and even the legality of the KC-X acquisition process remains uncertain, both competitors vying for the roughly $35 billion contract have submitted their last updates to proposals for the US Air Force tanker replacement contract.
The final proposal revisions submitted on 10 February should mark the last major step before contract award, although USAF officials have declined to specify the timing. Boeing and EADS North America executives, however, expect the USAF to make a final down-select in February.
But signing a contract could still prove difficult for two reasons.
First, a critical shipping error committed by the USAF in November sent evaluation assessments to the wrong bidders. That blunder has prompted calls by Boeing's supporters in Congress for an investigation by the inspector general, which may prolong the timing of contract award.
Meanwhile, a political stalemate over the fiscal year 2011 federal budget means the USAF may be prevented from awarding a contract to either company until the appropriations bill is passed.
Todd Harrison, a senior fellow at the Centre for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, believes the USAF may announce a winning bidder, but signing a contract that launches the development programme may be delayed until the FY2011 budget is approved.
The final proposal revisions allowed both companies perhaps one final opportunity to rattle their competitor.
EADS issued a press statement ridiculing Boeing's proposed KC-767 NewGen Tanker as a "concept", rather than a proven aircraft. By contrast, EADS also claims that the KC-45, which is based on the Airbus A330 multi-role tanker transport, offers a 15-44% saving on operating costs with greater fuel efficiency.
Boeing's statement, however, described the tanker replacement decision as a matter of national security.
"This decision is critical to America's national security and its manufacturing base," Boeing chief executive Jim McNerney said. Boeing also described their tanker as the cheaper option that would save "$36 billion in life-cycle costs compared with the competitor's aircraft".

The Waltz of the Bikes
A movie for Australian cyclists.
I've had this little film The Waltz of the Bikes in mind ever since I looked through the one tape that Violeta sent me of a sunny day's shooting on the streets of Amsterdam.
I'd asked her to just watch bikes, the variety of riders, the flow and curve of them. But nothing prepared me for the ballet she sent me on the tiny tape.
I knew that these were the perfect images to prompt you to see yourself on such bikes, but how to do them justice?
Since then, about two months ago, I've been nibbling at the footage, using a few shots here and there, mustering my courage to do justice to the whole feast. The best use so far was probably in;Talking to David Hembrow
Usually, I rely on a strong story telling voice to pull you into my short offerings, but this time I knew it had to be music, and music which would make the pictures dance.
Then, The Blue Danube came to me, and I began playing the images in my head to the music but cutting nothing, fearing it would not work as my imagining said it must.
Also, I was fearing it would not build, but just be more of the same, round and round like a wheel.
Then finally, yesterday, wedged between Xmas and new year, the sky pouring unseasonable rain on us, I began The Waltz of the Bikes. Cutting, showing it to Katya and cutting some more.
Try this Vimeo version first. The YouTube upload (below) is stopping as starting.
The Waltz of the Bikes from mike rubbo on Vimeo.
Violeta Brana-Lafourcade has not seen her material so shaped as yet, she is off with her family on a boat, but I am happy. Indeed, I look at the waltz again and again.
It has always fascinated me how disparate shots can hint at stories in the lives of people I'll never meet, who may never know they were filmed.
The women chatting, two pairs, two conversations, glimpsed and gone.
The two guys with guitars, one like a gun turret on a pocket battleship, the other, an unwieldy parcel.
The couple dinking, he riding and she on the back in her turquoise skirt.
But then she parks the bike, clearly hers. The shot continues beyond what you see, as they unlock a shop, maybe it was theirs.
There's the mum who gives into buying an ice-cream for her blonded pillion rider, her son for sure.
Long legs texting who?.
The men in power clothes, one cresting, and the tiny white dog who zips past, used to riding in the basket.
The grumpy look of the pink shirted man is good too, for surely all is not fine just because the sun is shining in the city of canals.
Towards the end had to come the father and his moppet. She's in her baby shades, waiting as he secures the cargo bike, the family SUV.
Behind, if you look closely, two men eye a poster of another man, a naked torso.
The last flurry of the music, ( two minutes of the waltz are cut out under the jingle of a bell) just had to go with the flurry of the hurrying woman's summer dress.
Then the way for the power glide of a rather imposing personage in white, down the long leafy canal.
If any of these riders see this, thank you, and if you contact me, there's DVD for you.
Meanwhile, the message for Australia is this; let's at least admit to ourselves that this is how riding in a city, even our city, could be.
It could leisurely too, the Dutch are no less happy no less prosperous for taking their travel slowly.
And it could be, without the danger gear that more and more we wear, the helmets and the day-glo vests, confessing we are in hostile territory. Why should it be here and not there?
If we slowed our traffic, if we impressed on motorists that if they hit something smaller than themselves, they are to blame (that's the Dutch rule) and if we ride regally like this, seeing and been seen, then this waltz could be us as well.
But then, we'd have to celebrate that we do want this and not always and only the cultish adversarial side of cycling, as is now the case, the glorying in the fight.
("Share the road, Damn you!" reads a T shirt in Canada infected with the same virus)
Racing, speed, the high performance bikes which cost a fortune, the Tour De Francing, all of that is fun, challenging and noble in it's own way.
But it's no longer the whole story. Ad it should not take all the oxygen to leave this other possibility, this simpler more join-able biking stifled, breathless, marginal.
When, Australian Cyclist recently wrote about Copenhagen as Pedal Paradise, which is very true, they primarily interviewed Mikael Colville-Andersen
He's the writer of the famous blogs, Copenhagenize.com and Copenhagen cycle chic.
You've perhaps met Mikael here, for Violeta filmed him too, (The Guy from Cycle Chic and; Talking to Mikael).
Robin Barton of Australian Cyclist was right to pick Mikael to talk to, but it was not so fine to reduce his famous photos of beauty on the bike to almost thumbnails.
All the beauty of the those famous photos in Copenhangen Cycle chic was lost, and moreover, you'd have to look very closely to see no one was wearing helmets.
(Australian Cyclist, Jan. Feb. 2010)
Now these are the sort of photos for which Copenhagen Cycle Chic is famous. (see more in;The Guy from cycle chic)
May we not see them?
There is something going on here, something a bit awkward.
How about we get over our helmet modesty, as if to show rider fully un-helmeted was to show them nude.
I have been reading Australian Cyclist for only a year but I have yet to see a photo of a gloriously un-helmed rider. Might it might put ideas in our heads? Is that the worry?
It's always pics like this. Now I'm sure these ladies love their lids, but how about not shying away from the rest of the world?
Whilst helmets might have seemed like a good idea here at the time, virtually no one has followed our lead overseas, in making them compulsory for adults, and and some of those places which have, are now in second thoughts.. (See Israel below ) for adults,
People like Milkael have very strong opinions as to how counter productive helmets are.
It is not right to make him the core of an article in Australian Cyclist and avoid his views , passing over the dramatic lack of helmets there with this offhand remark: "with cyclists feeling so safe on the streets, so safe in fact that most don't wear helmets…"
The truth to report to that is that Mikael is very disappointed and frustrated that official bodies in Denmark have been using a fear campaign to provoke helmet use in a country where before there was none, and that that fear campaign is working somewhat, to the detriment of cycling. So he feels.
For as is proven again and again, when you push fear to sell helmets, you do sell helmets, but you also convince many people to stop riding.
As Mikael ends the second video he did for me, (Talking to Mikael) he said;
It's no coincidence that since Australian put it's helmet laws into effect ….
…they have actually become the world's fattest country, a higher percentage of obese people than even America has.
So, you can either promote helmets and kill off cycling, or promote cycling and reap the health benefits, and extend the lives of your citizens. You have the choice but you can't do both. "
Dr. Ian Charlton said the same thing in…. Doctor on a bike
The Australian Cyclist can disagree with that polarity, but it should report what the man, the most respected blogger on cycling in the world, believes.
As for Israel. They brought in compulsory helmets for adult cyclists just a a year ago.
Now, they are having second thoughts. Why?
(photo borrowed from Copenhangenize.com)
It's nothing to do with the fact that helmets actually offer very little protection, and in some circumstances, are actually dangerous in that they can result in brain damage through twisting shock.
No, it's for other unexpected, reasons which might just provoke a rethink here as well.
The big news, the sensation in urban biking is how bike share schemes like the Velibs in Paris and the Bixis in Montreal are sweeping the world.
Cities, their citizens, and their visitors, love the the easy access bikes scattered all over the city, bikes which you don't have to own or store, but just use and leave.
(My friend, James Schwartz on a Bixi)
The success of Bike Share is massive , despite vandalism….
….as it benefits each host city in terms of less traffic , less greenhouse gasses and the upward tourist dollar. becomes more and more irresistable.
But Tel Aviv quickly realized that that the 2000 bikes slated for that city, can't be deployed because of their new helmet law.
They'd made themselves a catch 22, since there is no way to dispense a tested, sanitized helmet on the street, along with the bike.
Here is what Mikael has just reported on his blog, Copenhagenize.com, reporting Israeli sources.
The bill, sponsored by MK Sheli Yehimovich (Labor) repeals part of the Helmet Law which was passed last year.
Instead of requiring a helmet for intra-city riding, Yehimovich's bill would leave that decision up to the adult rider. Children, those riding off-road or those biking between cities would still be required to wear a helmet.
"Riding a bike in communities and especially in cities, significantly reduces traffic congestion, parking difficulties, air pollution and accidents.
Requiring helmets drove many people away from their bikes and back to their cars because of the hassle of wearing a helmet and carrying it around," the MK said in a statement.
"In Paris and other European cities, there are wonderful programs which provide bikes for transport and no one requires a helmet there.
Tel Aviv has also signed a contract to station 2,000 bikes around the city but the project has been held up because of the Helmet Law.
Moreover, the law is unenforceable and the police have said they do not plan to even attempt to enforce it," she added.
Mikael ends. "The bill hasn't passed just yet. There are three votes in the Knesset to come. Nevertheless there are signs that rationality is returning to our species."
Over to us in Australia. We are aware of the problem as; Bike Share and helmets dont mix? discovered.
But what will we do to enable the Waltz of the Bixis?
By the way did Waltz, leave unanswered questions in your mind? Well maybe Michael Bauch can answer them for you.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Three airport workers are accused of trying to bring heroin and methamphetamine into the U.S. on a commercial jet, authorities said Thursday.
The workers are charged with conspiring to smuggle more than $500,000 of drugs into the country on a Delta Air Lines flight from Mexico, U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said.
Federal authorities say the case involves Delta Flight 364, which arrived at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport from Mexico City on Jan. 13.
Investigators zeroed in on the airline workers after heroin and meth were found in an unclaimed bag on a carousel, prosecutors said in a statement announcing the charges.
Investigators then began interviewing one of the suspects, described as the performance leader for the shift of ramp employees who off-loaded the baggage from Flight 364. Investigators say they found incriminating text messages between him and two other airline workers around the time the flight was arriving.
The three suspects -- 35-year-old Luis Marroquin of Atlanta; 41-year-old Carlos Springer of Hampton; and 27-year-old Kelvin Rondon of Atlanta -- all face charges of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and heroin and attempting to import the drugs into the U.S.
All three men were indicted by a federal grand jury this week, authorities said. It wasn't known Thursday whether they have attorneys representing them.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department is warning residents about a scam falsely claiming its victims have won the lottery.
Spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais said Friday that a Snellville couple recently received a phone call at home "advising them that they won the Mega Millions" lottery. After the couple questioned the caller, the caller changed the story and said they had actually won a sweepstakes, Bourbonnais said.
"The caller wanted to set up an appointment to come to the couple's home and bring two attorneys," Bourbonnais said, "telling them they would accompany them to their bank to deposit a cashier's check."
The couple alerted the sheriff's department, but the caller never showed up at the residence.
Officials urge any other residents that may have been the victim of a similar scam to contact their local law enforcement agency.

Tapered head tube. Knuckle Box suspension. 6" front and rear travel. Weapons grade aluminum frame. Fox float shock. Pro pedal platform. Hydrualic disc brakes. All these phrases are great, but don't really mean much until you put them together into one bike. Enter the Mission line. These all mountain rigs are light and nimble enough to climb up the trail, but rugged enough to get you back down. The Mission 3 rallies any drop, rock shoot, or winding ribbon of single track. With a frame built around a custom-valved Fox RP23 XV rear shock, it's the perfect complement to the Knuckle Box's linkage. This creates a smooth suspension platform and superior bottom-out-resistance resulting in a better ride. A Fox 32 Float RL Fit 150mm fork delivers nearly 6inches of plush suspension helping you to push through whatever is in your way. The FIT damping cartridge, w/ ext. compression / rebound / lock out knobs allow you to dial in your suspension to the perfect setting. A butted Alloy 1.5 Tapered steerer delivers a stiff front end for precise steering. Truvativ's Hammerschmidt AM 2 speed (22/36t) transmission delivers immediate shifting, a perfect chain line, and peace of mind knowing that you'll never drop a chain again. Throw in a set of AVID Elixir CR hydraulic disc brakes, a full Sram X-9 10spd drivetrain, and an Easton EA70 aluminum bar, stem and seatpost, and you've got yourself a top shelf rig. Rounding out this pretty package is a WTB Laser Disc Trail wheelset all adding up to a stiff, light all mountain beast. No more shying away from and hill or descent. The beginning of every great path starts with a Mission!

text: A Formula for Better Science Education By D.C. BrandonNovember 28, 2011 Print Share Talking with Canada Research Chair Stephen Norris Upon receiving word that he had received a renewal of his Canada Research Chair, Professor Stephen Norris could barely contain his smile, "I was delighted, absolutely delighted." Recipients of a Canada Research Chair have reason to be proud; it is a genuine, national recognition of their work. The primary focus of Professor Norris' work over the past few years has been on improving science instruction in high school classrooms. "The puzzle is, how do you build a science education that has two very different goals –one, to recruit the next generation of scientists, and two, to foster a citizenry that has a knowledge of science, knows how it works and can take a critical stance with respect to science," says Professor Norris. The clue to successfully solving this puzzle is in the approach teachers take to science. "[I think] learning scientific language is important, but currently students are expected to learn over 1000 scientific words, more words than you would need to know to converse in a second language…[this] is a distorted image of what science is. I am interested in teaching scientific language, without having students memorize all of these terms," explains Professor Norris. When speaking to Professor Norris, his passion for science education becomes obvious. He links language with science in a way that aims to inspire critical thinking in the classroom. "Teaching students how scientists write, and how they use the language to argue for a particular conclusion, to support it with evidence, to argue why their interpretation of their data is a better interpretation than another's, and most importantly, how they convey through their language the tentativeness of science, is important," says Professor Norris. The hope is that students who approach learning science in this way will be more engaged, especially those who do not see themselves as becoming future scientists. Learning science can and should be both exciting and thought provoking. His research has clear implications for students in high schools in Alberta, and across Canada. "We are planning on developing a whole array of material that will be available for high schools. How do we give students a more accurate image of science? The approach I am looking at is using published scientific literature and adapting it for use in the classroom," explains Professor Norris. The adapted literature looks and feels like the real thing – largely because it is, underneath the hood. The theoretical framework in the documents presented to students is unchanged, only the level at which the information is presented is altered. Using real-world and often very current research, students are encouraged to use critical thinking to navigate their way through the adapted reports of research. Ultimately, they leave the classroom not only with a number of scientific equations learned, but also with a critical understanding of the thought behind the science. Exciting researchers tend to inspire others, as discovered by those who have worked closely with him. Augusto Riveros (MPhil., MEd, PhD Candidate) comments, "[he has]given me a wealth of opportunities for academic growth. His critical and attentive eye is always there to spot the gaps in my thought and guide my research. He always asks me the type of questions that send me back to the library. His warm and open attitude towards knowledge always invites dialogue and sincere discussion… he has a solid reputation and his colleagues respect him a lot. He introduced me to a number of important scholars in the field." As the world of science continues to evolve, the work of professors like Stephen Norris in the Faculty of Education will continue to find new ways to educate the youth of our country. While his aim is to supply material to current teachers and change current science education teaching practices, an even bigger impact may yet come when those currently studying in the Faculty of Education graduate and begin to teach using the methods being discovered in his research today. "The Canada Research Chairs program invests $300 million per year to attract and retain some of the world's most accomplished and promising minds. Chair holders aim to achieve research excellence in engineering and the natural sciences, health sciences, humanities, and social sciences. They improve our depth of knowledge and quality of life, strengthen Canada's international competitiveness, and help train the next generation of highly skilled people through student supervision, teaching, and the coordination of other researchers' work." http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/about_us-a_notre_sujet/index-eng.aspx

Sometimes when my life seems to be at a bitter end,
And there is no one that I can truly call a friend.
I raise my eyes towards the heavens and begin to pray,
That I will resist all the sin and temptation that comes my way.
And even though I might stumble, fall and even crawl,
I will without hesitation, to God, my plea for help I'll call.
Thank you Jesus for taking me in despite all of my sins,
And the glorious fact that because of you, Satan never wins.

Stephanie Chan '13
Global Emerging Markets Financial Controller, JPMorgan Chase | Newark, D.E.
A lot of college students agonize over finding their first job. Some feel that they have to be someone or know someone to get a good offer. But you'll find your time at Susquehanna leads you through a metamorphosis that transforms you into that someone employers want to get to know.
The opportunities for growth are limitless, and it all starts with the liberal arts foundation and the Central Curriculum. The knowledge I gained in these classes really gave me an edge. They allowed me to explore things outside of my majors and even comfort zone.
Yes, employers expect you to know about Finance or your specific business field. But when you can demonstrate knowledge and skills beyond what's expected, you become even more valuable to that company. Today, I find it easy to talk to my colleagues, many of whom are Brazilian, at JPMorgan Chase about a variety of subjects, from European cultures to ethics in business.
And much of my knowledge comes from spending an entire semester in another country as part of the GO London program. Going on tours of European companies and seeing first-hand how the rest of the world does business is something you can't learn from a textbook. These experiences, along with Susquehanna's small size, really work to a student's advantage.
At Susquehanna, you get much more individual attention in and out of the classroom. You have so many opportunities to have compelling conversations with professors and alumni. They mentor you and help you expand your network in the business world. You leave Susquehanna with amazing experiences, networks and developed interpersonal and critical thinking skills. All things you'll need to successfully navigate any post-graduate world.
Many people ask me why a girl from New Orleans chose Susquehanna. I tell them that even on paper, I could see the opportunities I could gain at Susquehanna, ones that perhaps not even an Ivy League school could provide me. As an alumna, working at a highly respected firm in a very competitive field, I can say I made the right decision.
