The introduction of two new engineering concentrations faced criticism from humanities professors when proposed at Tuesday's Faculty Meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
Several faculty members questioned students' ability to balance the course requirements of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering—both of which will include 20 required half-courses—with Harvard's commitment to providing a broad liberal arts education.
According to Evelyn Hu, area dean of electrical engineering at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the establishment of two specialized concentrations in engineering is motivated by both growing student demand and the rapid growth of SEAS.
"Electrical engineering and mechanical engineering are not simply foundational and time-honored, but they're also rapidly evolving," Hu said. "Our students are among the first to realize this."
Both concentrations will be ABET accredited, allowing students to pursue licenseship and doctorate programs in their fields.
Students in engineering sciences currently receive either a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science degree. Both options provide a broad foundation in engineering, although the S.B.—which has been ABET accredited since 1962—requires 20 half-courses while the A.B. requires 16.
Students pursuing either degree choose from one of five areas.
According to Joost J. Vlassak, area dean for material sciences and mechanical engineering, nearly half of the students concentrating in engineering sciences choose to focus on mechanical engineering.
trating in engineering sciences choose to focus on mechanical engineering.
Faculty will vote on the new concentrations at next month's Faculty Meeting. If passed, they will be only the second and third specialized engineering concentrations offered by the College. Biomedical engineering was the first, initially offered in the fall of 2010.
Although the Faculty Council voted unanimously in favor of the motion to discuss the concentrations, several professors questioned how they would fit into Harvard's liberal arts curriculum.
"If a concentration that has 20 course requirements is structurally irreconcilable with a liberal arts education, which I think it arguably is, why create even more concentrations like these?," said Peter J. Burgard, a professor of German.
In order to receive ABET accreditation, an engineering concentration must have at least 20 half-courses. But the need to meet national standards gave some faculty pause.

Evraz, the steel group part-owned by billionaire Roman Abramovich, is raising $900m through a $600m convertible bond offering and a $300m issue of global depository receipts as it seeks to refinance its existing debt and finance corporate activity.
The bonds with a maturity in 2014 will carry quarterly coupons of 6.75-7.25% per annum and will be eventually converted into GDRs, according to a company statement.
Lanebrook, the investment vehicle which owns 77.6% of Evraz's stock, announced that it was prepared to buy out bonds and GDRs for the company's new shares worth $400m.
According to the company's management accounts, total debt as of June 30, 2009 amounted to approximately $8.49bn, including approximately $3.79bn of short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt.
In today's trading statement, Evraz said its is currently in compliance with all its outstanding bonds and credit facilities.
The Russian state development bank VEB approved on June 1 the potential extension of maturity of the $1.8bn in loan facilities granted to Evraz in the fourth quarter of 2008 from one year to two years. Evraz also received a term sheet from VTB confirming ongoing negotiations to extend $321m loan due in October 2009 for another four years.
A research note issued by Italian bank Unicredit said most of the proceeds should go to repaying existing debt.
Unicredit equity analyst George Buzhenitsa added: "..the fact that major existing shareholders are subscribing to the offering indicates their continued belief in the fundamental attractiveness of the company. We are encouraged that blue chip companies are returning to the capital markets to address their financing needs and believe this should be taken as a positive signal for the market as a whole. It should also relieve pressure on heavily leveraged names such as Mechel, Severstal, and TMK."

With a price premium over the HTC EVO 4G, the world's second 4G phone goes on sale.
Samsung's Epic 4G has finally gone on sale in the US, with customers being able to bag the world's second 4G handset for the princely sum of £162 ($249.99). However the phone will only be available on a two-year contract so punters will be in it for the long haul.
The Epic 4G is the second phone to utilise Sprint's 4G network which offers vastly superior download/upload speeds to anything else on the market. Shipping with Android 2.1 and the Samsung TouchWiz overlay it also has a super-clear 4-inch AMOLED screen and the same 1GHz Snapdragon processor seen in the Galaxy S. Add to that an 8MP sensor and slide out QWERTY keyboard and it definitely has the specs to rival HTC's EVO offering.
Related links:
- Samsung Epic 4G announced
- HTC 4G Evo: a visual tour
- Samsung Craft: World's first LTE phone
- Samsung 4G Epic pre-orders sold out
The arrival of the Epic 4G of course raises the question of whether we might see something similar heading our way in the future. With Britain's own 4G LTE network undergoing testing, could we be soon be looking forward to our own version of the Epic 4G?
For the moment though the big UK Android-based Samsung arrival will be the Galaxy S Tab, hoping to make as big an impact in the tablet world, as the Epic 4G is aiming for in the mobile arena.

* '''Double Subverted''': Until the villains kill the dad.
* '''Parodied''': All the family photos have Bob's father cut out from them.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Perhaps because his work is seasonal, sometimes Bob's dad is at home and always there for him, and other times his dad is absent for long streches and completely out of touch with Bob.

Yani Tseng wins NW Arkansas Championship
ROGERS, Ark. (AP) Top-ranked Yani Tseng successfully defended her title in the LPGA Tour's NW Arkansas Championship on Sunday, beating Amy Yang with a 4-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff.
Yang missed a 6-foot birdie try before Tseng holed the winning putt on the par-5 18th.
"I almost cry because today, like in the middle of the round, I felt like, 'Oh, I'm going to lose today." Because in my mind, I don't feel excitement. I don't make any birdie," Tseng said. "But I just telling myself, `I need to get excited, need more focused, try to stretch, move around, just feel more.' Like the last three holes, I make some birdies, so that was very important for me."
During the awards ceremony on the 18th green, Tseng led the large crowd in a chant of "Woo Pig Sooie!" a chant usually heard at Razorbacks football and basketball games.
"This is great," Tseng said. "I mean, always have a good crowd here and the people are really nice, volunteers and so many great people around here. Very nice to be out here. This year, the weather was perfect, so we were very lucky."
Tseng and Yang closed with 3-under 68s to finish at 12-under 201 on the Pinnacle Country Club course.
Yang, winless on the LPGA Tour, parred the final 11 holes of regulation, holing a 4 1/2-foot putt on the 18th to force the playoff.
Tseng bogeyed the par-4 13th to drop to 10 under, then rallied with birdies on the par-5 14th and par-4 16th - holing an 8-foot putt to tie Yang.
"After the second hole I was a hole behind and I keep telling myself, 'It's OK, we still have lots of holes, stay patient and be always positive and keep focused on every shot,'" Tseng said.
On the 18th in regulation, Yang aggressively went for green in two shots, but hit her approach shot way left of the greenside grandstands before chipping on and saving par. Tseng reached the green in three shots and had a chance to win, but missed a 4-foot birdie putt.
"After I saw her good third shot, I just want to make sure to make a par," Yang said. "You know, there's always, I mean, I'm not meaning she's going to miss that, but you never know what's going to happen."
The 22-year-old Tseng leads the tour with five victories this season, including major wins in the LPGA Championship and Women's British Open, and also has won three other events this year. She also successfully defended her title in the Women's British Open.
Tseng, from Taiwan, earned $300,000 to push her tour-leading total to $2,116,051. Last year at Pinnacle, she closed with a 65 to beat Michelle Wie by a stroke.
Ai Miyazato (66) was third at 11 under. Cristie Kerr (68) was another stroke back.
Miyazato moved to 10 under on the par-5 14th when she holed out for eagle from a greenside bunker
"It was a perfect bunker shot, I must say," Miyazato said.
Sandra Gal had the best round of the day, a 64 that left her tied for fifth with Amy Hung (66) and Belen Mozo (68) at 9 under. The German star had nine birdies, including five in her first nine holes, and two bogeys.
Paula Creamer, the world's No. 9 player, had a 69 to eighth with hometown favorite Stacy Lewis (70) at 8 under. Creamer had five birdies in her first nine holes and was a stroke behind Yang through 10 holes, but dropped back with a bogey on the par-4 12th. After Creamer three-putted from 10 feet, she tossed her ball in a pond in frustration.

Our People
Meet some of them and learn more about what it's really like to work for us.
Daniel Wood
I work in the regional office in Dubai and I am the sales and marketing director for DHL Exel Supply chain for the Middle East. I cover the region of the GCC and Arabian peninsular. That also includes communicating with my colleagues in Africa and Asia. Dubai is the port where east meets west, making it a strategic location for logistics.
The job offer that I had was great. It fitted really with where I wanted to take my career. But there was a personal aspect involved as well, because I wanted to be closer to my girlfriend. She had been in Yemen and I thought reducing the distance a little bit would make things easier and it really has. No day is ever the same and for someone who gets bored quite quickly like me, this is the right job.
I would say that working abroad is the most personally enriching thing you can do. The interesting thing about the Middle East is the intricacies between the different countries. Saudi-Arabia is not like the Oman and the Oman is not like the United Arab Emirates. It is something that is extremely fascinating for someone who is interested in cultures and people and the different geographies that we're operating.
I think I've developed a relationship with the Middle East to the extent that I call it home now. I have very close friends from Saudi Arabia, from Oman and from the United Arab Emirates which made me develop quite a close bond with it.
Deutsche Post DHL looks after its people very well. I think they are very good at putting the right people in the right areas. But there is also a responsibility on the individual. You have to decide where you want to grow, where you want to live, where you want to have a career and then take steps to make that happen.
Deutsche Post DHL offers you opportunities to grow within yourself and the environments that they put you in, not just geographically but also from a business point of view. You learn very quickly and you tend to meet people of a very good calibre whom you can learn from. It's an atmosphere of growth and an environment where you can really make the best of yourself.
Tamanna Dahiya
I come from India originally. That is where I was born and brought up. I always wanted to work and live in different parts of the world. I work with Deutsche Post Inhouse Consulting division. It is an internal consulting that works with the top management of all Deutsche Post business units. We operate out of three offices. Here in US in Plantation, then in Germany in Bonn and in Singapore. We work with whatever is on the minds of the top management where they feel they need some consulting support and where they could benefit from our analysis and our insights into the industry.
I find this job very exciting because I move from one challenge to another all two to three months. All of them really require a lot of intellectual strength. They also require you to understand what the management needs, understand what my customers need and what my shareholders need. That is what makes it very exciting.
Coming from India means coming from a very different society. It's really crowded there with people everywhere. When you come here the fist feeling that hits you is: there is space. There are less people and there is much more space available. It really took me some time to get used to it.
I really appreciate the amount of respect for every single individual and how open and well-organized everything is here. I have friends here and I have become very fond of this place. It is very different from where I come from. I'm not sure if I'll stay here forever but right now my relationships here are very strong.
DHL really values international perspective. I think it is one of the key values we look for at the time of hiring. It's a very international business. We move goods from one country to another so you need to understand what kind of differences could exist in different countries and regions. What challenges could you have in another country and in another business and how can you be open to that?
I work here in the US but I could also do my job from Bonn or Singapore. That possibility makes it very international. We are present in 200 countries, so if you're moving from one place to another, you could easily communicate with the local DHL. And if there is a place where you fit, you can move there while staying at the same company. People who like new challenges would really enjoy working abroad.

Teenage Gainsborough ice skater sets sights on 2014 Winter Olympics
Posted: January 26, 2013|
An ice skater is travelling hundreds of miles to train each week after setting her sights on the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Robynne Tweedale trains three times a week in Sheffield and once a week in Essex. The 16-year-old combines her passion for the ice with A-level studies at Gainsborough Queen Elizabeth's High School.
Robynne clinched the UK Junior Figure Skating Pairs title four months after teaming up with Steven Adcock. She has now been given special dispensation by QEHS head teacher David Allsop to take a day off each week so she can travel to and from the Riverside Ice Rink where Steven trains at Chelmsford.
Robynne and her 14-year-old sister Becky are already used to the 26-mile round trip from their home near Bawtry in Nottinghamshire each school day.
Now she is getting up at 4am three mornings for pre-school 6am to 7.40am solo skating sessions in Sheffied before her parents deliver her to the Morton Terrace school for lessons.
On Wednesdays and Thursdays Robynne skates before and after school, then fits in her homework and revision.
She is no stranger to travel for international competition.
Before Christmas, she and 17-year-old Steven were silver medallists in the Lombardia Trophy in Milan and also won the Welsh Junior Pairs title.
Following their success in the British Figure Skating and Synchro Championships, they have been touted as possible contenders for the British team in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, next February.
Robynne, who started competitive skating five years ago, said her studies must come first.
The pair are preparing for an International Skating Union nine-day training camp in Berlin in March. "I came late to skating because I tried it when I was four and didn't like it at all," she said. "But I tried it again when I was 11 and I've never found it difficult.
"It means very early starts and late finishes, train trips and car journeys. I can't thank my parents or my school enough for the support.''
Mum Justine said: "We're really proud of both Robynne and Steven because they are an absolute credit to themselves.''
Mr Allsop said: "If a student shows an aptitude for something which will help them realise a dream then we will do our best to balance their aspirations with their education."
Steven said: "Robynne and I get on really well and that's very important."

As well as packing fun activities for my kids, I packed some fun treats for fellow plan passengers on a long-haul flight. A win all round! : )
or some shrinky games I made for my 4yr old are here -
For car and plane trips, what are some small toys, games, or other fun tiny surprises to bring along or pack in your child's backpack? Please mention the age range for the item and include a link to a picture if you have one.
As well as packing fun activities for my kids, I packed some fun treats for fellow plan passengers on a long-haul flight. A win all round! : )
Keep little hands busy with pipe cleaner beading or endless embroidery. Keep little minds busy with audio books (we really love Ox Cart Man). Finally, a felt board is always welcome to help pass the travel time (we've included a felt board piece printable in the link below - enjoy!)
For plane trips, I always pack the most ridiculously huge bag full of everything I think I'll need. Which is pointless because, inevitably, my 23 month old goes for two things: stickers and ice. Don't know how my husband discovered that ice is a magical secret weapon, but he did. He immediately makes friends with the flight attendants so they refill our cups as often as we ask.
Age 4 & 3 - using since 2 & 3 -
Leap Frogs Tag Pen: This little device from Leap Frogs is a must. On our road trip from New York to Florida this one gadget kept our children edutained (educated & entertained). Tag storybooks and learning activities help children build reading skills, vocabulary, phonics and writing skills. The reader (which looks like a fat pen with a metallic nib) can store audio for up to 10 books and fits in small hands easily. The reader can read books to the kids, teach them words, play games and more. We carry roughly 5-6 books with us, which are a hefty weight component, but I would carry this over an extra pair of shoes any day. (http://readingrainbowblog.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/our-kids-cant-travel-without-these-top-5-hi-tech-gadgets/comment-page-1)
I shop the dollar store and hide the toys until the plane ride, especially for toddlers till 5 year olds. The newest helps. Also, I hide a favorite one so it is almost 'new'. I also have orange tic tac or smarties that they can suck on to help their ears for take off and landing. Things that work are picture books, white boards with pens, animals, (no noise makers). For 3-8 year olds they enjoy having their own bag of treats.
ou, We are so far away from games with cars and other toys, but i would like to share wit other moms something very useful (I ahve been copied when my child was a tree years old from the computer at my work (It is a Serbian forum: Moja Beba - Powered by XMB , quotes from the same book from Michele Borba. And I was downloaded that book from net using torrenta (4M) :
1. A mother who loves teaches worth.
2. A mother who is firm and fair gives her children a moral code to live by.
3. A mother who listens shows her children they matter.
4. A mother who is a good role model gives her children an example worth copying.
5. A mother who teaches values inspires character.
6. A mother who supports her children's strengths builds their confidence.
7. A mother who encourages indipendence cultivates self-reliance.
8. A mother who applauds effort nurtures perseverance.
9. A mother who accepts her children's shortcomings nurtures resilience.
10. A mother who takes time for her children helps them build strong relationships.
11. A mother who laughs teaches joy.
12. A mother who takes care of herself holds together her happy family.
We're on planes alot and I always bring new things for my children. In addition to the Nintendo DS's and the iPad I pack a few new books and small toys for the kids as often as possible.
Our biggest trick was to keep all these toys/activities hidden until the day of travel so they are new and fresh and potential for lasting a few more minutes with a toddlers (1 to 2 years) short attention span. We packed a travel sized magna doodle, coloring supplies, stickers, LOTS of snacks (and a wide variety), Melissa and Doug brand have great little travel activity books (very affordable too), and a few homemade activities that I found on pinterest.
We love to travel! Kids get bored easily, so I like to take a few "new" toys/activities with us when we travel. (By "new" I mean recently purchased at my fave thrift shop!) Coloring books are great for our 5 yr old, he loves to color. I also take a couple of small puzzles with us, another one of his favorite activities. You can find some really cool self-contained puzzles, if you know what to look for. They come in a small wooden box and the box lid can be used as a "frame" for the puzzle. I also like to bring trail mix along for the ride!
I give my children each a coupon book that includes a variety of things to do in the car. It's called The Super Fun Road Trip Coupon Book for Kids and you can purchase online at www.superfunroadtrip.com My kids get to select a coupon hourly for good behavior, it works like a charm! Some of the coupons are Pick out your favorite treat at the next gas station or you get to pick the restaurant. We road trip every summer and always use the books, my kids love them. I also like the books because this limits their time on electronics.
I also use the website ( www.superfunroadtrip.com) as a road trip resource. On the website there are tips on what to pack, snacks to bring for the long car ride and a list of games to play in the car.
My favorite travel tip is to make a scotch tape tab on crayons so they don't roll off of clipboards or tray tables. Check out the post I wrote with that idea and lots more...
I always pack new toys for the kids so they will have fun exploring what is in their "travel backpack" for my two and five year olds. They are not allowed to look in them until the trip to create suspense!
We have included items such as playdough, gel window clings, stacking cups and snacks. The tag reading system is also great because it's independent and earphones can be plugged into them so it doesn't bother other passengers.
I also raid the clearance section after holidays to find cheap toys that the kids would like that, if they lost, wouldn't be traumatic. I also try to save a few things for the return trip so the kids look forward to that as well!
We always fill their backpacks with new books, a surprise snack or two (especially a lollipop for clogged ears on a flight), and either a new app, music, or Nintendo DS game. The backpack cannot be opened until we're on the road or in the airplane. My kids are 7 and 10. When they were younger, we used Color Wonder pens (no mess), and activity books with mazes and puzzles.
My 10 year old loves the old fashioned Yes & No books, which are still made. Aside from electronics, we bring a mini deck of Uno cards, regular playing cards and plenty of paper/pens to play hangman and dots. When the kids were toddlers, we brought little bottles of bubbles. It delighted them (and made us a hero to other parents on the flight).
We always pack some fun magnets in a metal lunch box. The box provides storage for the magnets as well as a place to stick them onto.
A digital picture frame: load it with pics of pets, toys, animals and people for an entertaining slide show. Great for infants and toddlers.
If you're looking for a tablet to keep pre-school to tween age kids occupied and engaged that also has the added value of built in parental controls for web browsing, the nabi(R) is the thing to have. With 3 age-appropriate devices (nabi Jr ages 3-6, nabi 2 ages 7-10, and nabi XD ages 11-14) the nabi offers all the fun of games like Fruit Ninja, educational games in math, science, and language, and even activities for autistic children. http://www.nabitablet.com/
There's a great Road Trip Magazine and Craft Kit over at Crafting Connections, which includes travel games and 5 projects to do in a car/bus/plane/hotel room - plus a story that can be read whenever the mood strikes! Perfect for little ones ages 2-7+yo (http://www.craftingconnections.net/the-blog/road-trip-travel-magazine/)
I made an airplane tray cover for my kiddos. I added little pockets and chalkboard fabric, as well as a hide and seek game to keep them busy on the flights. It worked perfectly!
Oh definitely I Spy games. Here's a must try. Let your child come up with items they think they will see on the trip, let them draw or write their ideas on paper or card stock, create a small envelope or container to keep them in along with an "I saw it" envelope. Don't hesitate to have a lot of items to search out and get creative. This is great way to let your kids share their imagination and creative skills. And an opportunity for you as Mom, to get to see and hear how your children are seeing and absorbing their environment. If you like you can include a game prize. Again. Get creative and hand out the prize however you like.
I like that idea
Pens and paper, dry eraser crayons travel kit, dolls, juice, goldfish crackers. These are what I pack for my 4 and 2 year old when we are going to be in the car for a while.
when we are traveling by Car or Plane we pack a Portable DvD for my son to watch, Books n colourful pens to Draw, if available we carry a tablet on board..
Lot's of paper and colored pencils. My 9 yo son loves to draw.
I usually pack a bag for each of my kids, if we are going on a long trip. I include things like coloring books, blank paper for drawing on, crayons and markers, play-doh, silly putty, puzzles, playing cards, maps to look at, cross-word puzzles, healthy snacks, beads for stringing, art projects, books, magazines and more (depending on the ages and stages). At the moment my kids are 14, 6, 4 and 1. I wrote a post about BUSY BASKETS a while back. It's here: http://earlychildhoodnews.net/activities/577-busy-boxes

Below is the poem entitled miss you which was written by poet
Pascale. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Emily Pascale
I see your face in my mind all the time.
I picture your kind blue eyes staring back at mine.
I remember your slowly caressing touch.
I crave your tight long hugs.
I long to hear from you.
I wish you felt that way too.
I miss your kiss.
I miss your sweet soft lips.
I dream of your smile.
Even though its only been a little while.
You loved me, left me, and broke me.
You're a monster, a heartless imposter.
So why do I still miss you?

First Look: Cini Serves Molto Bene Italian Food
|Mabel Suen
|"Original" cini filled with sausage, peas, parmigiano and pecorino cheese.
"This is one of the only Italian places in St. Louis that doesn't have toasted ravioli or pizza on the menu," says a smiling cook as a point of pride behind the hot line's impossibly spotless glass. The crystal clear barrier provides a brightly lit view into the open kitchen, backlined by a fridge full of plump green zucchinis, bell peppers and the like.
If you manage to get past the first part of your meal without second-degree burns (fresh-fried cheese waits for no one, folks), proceed to enjoy the bulk of the menu's offerings. Like other modern fast-casual concepts, the ordering process is slightly overwhelming at first, in a build-your-own-meal kind of way. Yes, that was a mouthful, but the many options can, indeed, pile pretty high in that bowl.

NAR 2013 Community Preference Survey
Americans Prefer to Live in Mixed-Use, Walkable Communities
According to the National Association of REALTORS® 2013 Community Preference Survey, 60 percent of respondents favor a neighborhood with a mix of houses, stores, and other businesses that are within walking distance, rather than neighborhoods requiring driving between home, work, and recreation. Respondents indicated that while the size of a home or yard does matter, most are willing to compromise size for a preferred neighborhood and less commuting.

Hundreds of Willard residents were evacuated from their homes early Wednesday morning after a derailed train tanker leaked flammable liquids for almost four hours.
Governor Kasich to visit Willard today
Officials walked door to door starting at 1 a.m., alerting about 400 households to the immediate danger in their neighborhoods.
More than 200 people sought shelter at an American Red Cross relief station at Willard High School overnight, Willard police Chief Mark Holden said. By 9 a.m., most of those residents had left — either headed to work or other homes or hotel rooms paid for by CSX Transportation.
One South Church Street family didn't leave home until well after daylight because they didn't answer their door when officials knocked at about 2 a.m.
Kristen Felty, her daughter Candice, and relative Neva Rodriguez called the fire department when they awoke.
"You should've been gone last night," firefighters told Rodriguez, who quickly put the turkey breasts she was thawing for Thanksgiving dinner back in the fridge and then grabbed what she could and left.
"I don't want to spend our Thanksgiving in a hotel, or in some back room on a cot," Rodriguez said.
While state and federal EPA officials and numerous cleanup crews worked to make the area safe for the better part of Wednesday morning, it's still unknown when residents can return to their homes.
Holden was hoping it would be sometime later Wednesday, but the possibility remains that some folks won't return home until today.
The spill happened at about 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, Willard city manager Brian Humphress said.
A 26,000-gallon CSX train tanker slipped off the rails, causing a 4-inch hole to leak a hazardous chemical.
The chemical, styrene monomer, is an oily, colorless to yellowish liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is flammable, reactive, and toxic, sparingly soluble in water and soluble in alcohols, ethers and carbon disulfide.
The train car derailed at Willard Train Yard on Main Street. The evacuation area included homes west of Washburn Road, north of Townline and Niver roads, northeast of Second Street, south of Tiffin Street and southeast of Myrtle Avenue, Humphress said.
Jeff Feltner, who lives within the half-mile evacuation zone, said he didn't hear the derailment.
"Usually you hear the trains, but last night it was just silent. It was quiet as it has ever been," Feltner said.
Feltner said he initially didn't want to leave home.
"They said, 'We're going to arrest people if they don't leave,'" Feltner said.
Reluctantly he set out for the high school, catching a whiff of the leaking chemical along the way.
"I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry," he said.
Red Cross volunteers from the Firelands, Lorain and Cleveland areas arrived at about 2 a.m., Red Cross worker Kevin Sauer said."We're staying until we get the all-clear," Sauer said. "We're not going to leave anybody without a warm place to stay."
Emergency responders are going door-to-door getting residents out of their homes after a rail car was breached causing a spill of a highly-flammable chemical.
"There was a derailment and a leak in a 26,000 gallon tanker," said Brian Humphress, Willard city manager. "The spill has been contained."
The chemical, styrene monomer, is a colorless to yellowish oily liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, ethers and carbon disulfide. It is flammable, reactive and toxic. The breach — approximately a four-inch hole in the tanker rail car — leaked the chemical for about four hours before it was able to be sealed.
WIllard Fire Department and police responded to the emergency call after it came in at 11:42 p.m. on Tuesday.
"The cleanup could be a long process," Humphress said. "There's no timeframe right now but we're hoping it will be within the next few hours."
Homes within a half-mile radius are being evacuated. Residents are being evacuated to Willard High School and some are being put up in hotel rooms by CSX, the railroad company, in Tiffin, Sandusky and Willard, Humphress said.
The evacuation area includes Washburn Road to the West; Townline Roadd/Niver Road to the north; Second Street to the northeast; Myrtle Avenue to the southeast; and Tiffin to the South.
A listing of updates from the City of Willard Twitter page: (In order of newest to oldest)
City of Willard @CityofWillard
We will also contact the news media, and of course will make an announcement via this Twitter account
As soon as we can reliably know when the residents can return to the area, we will send out notification through the Everbridge alert system
Unfortunately, the evacuation order will remain in place for most of today. It is possible that it may remain until tonight or even tomorrow.
We are working with the professional clean-up crew hired by CSX to handle this situation and to determine when the area will be safe again.
While these businesses may be open, you are advised to be careful going into the area. DO NOT go west of Myrtle Avenue.
The post office and the businesses on the east side of Myrtle Ave in the Historic Downtown area are just outside the evacuation zone.
The evacuation order is still in effect; the area still provides a serious danger to the general public.
Despite what may be reported on Facebook or other sources, there has NOT been an "all clear" notification for the evacuation area.
We will advise when further information is available.
Again, if you live within a one-half mile of the Main Street underpasses, LEAVE YOUR HOME NOW. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
If you or someone you knows lives in the area and needs transportation to evacuate, contact the Willard Police Dept. (419-933-2561) for help
Willard Public Safety and CSX Clean-up Crews are on the scene, but the situation is very dangerous, and the cleanup will take a while.
We will advise through the alert system when you can return to your homes.
Again, if you are in the affected area, for your and your family's safety, LEAVE NOW.
We have established a shelter at the Willard High School in the Commons/Gymnasium area.
If you, or someone you know, live in the affected area, please leave NOW. The boundaries of the area are: Washburn Rd to the West; Townline Rd/Niver Rd to the North; Second St to the Northeast; Myrtle Ave to the Southeast; & Tiffin to the South.
The chemical, styrene monomer, is highly flammable, and so we have ordered an evacuation of the potential blast area.
The incident occurred in the Willard Rail Yard near the underpasses on North Main Street.
A rail car, containing highly flammable liquid, has developed a significant hole and the liquid is pouring out of the tank.
We have an emergency situation in the City of Willard at this time.
Check back here for updates.

Prisoners' Rights
United States prisons, juvenile facilities and immigration detention centers have to comply with the Constitution, federal law and international human rights principles and to prevent cases of over-incarceration. The movement for prisoners' rights in the country advocates that prisoners, although they are deprived of liberty, are still entitled to basic human rights. The law in the United States, both federal and state, controls the establishment and administration of prisons as well as the rights of the prisoners.
Prisoners do not have full Constitutional rights, although they are still protected by the Constitution's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. Inmates have to be afforded a minimum standard of living. The 14th Amendment of the Constitution stipulates that: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Therefore, the equal protection clause of the amendment also applies to prisoners. Prison inmates are entitled to Constitutional rights such as a right of access to the parole process, also known as a conditional release, and due process in their rights to administrative appeals. The amendment protects prisoners against unequal treatment on the basis of race, sex and creed. Moreover, the Model Sentencing and Corrections Act, which governs the process of sentencing criminal offenders, states that a confined person has a protected interest in freedom from discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin or sex. Prisoners also have rights to speech and religion.
Some of the basic rights entitled to prisoners in the United States are the right to equal and fair treatment, the right to access to a court of law, including a court of law with regards to prison authorities and the right to medical treatment. Prisoners also have a right to freedom of expression, reading materials and communication, the right to freedom of religion and the right to express concern with their standard of living. They should live in healthy conditions, drink safe water and have food and clothing. If they are a victim of assault in prison, they have a right to be protected by prison and state authorities. Advocates of prisoners' rights defend also a right to education, better payment of employed prisoners, as well as a right to conjugal visitation.
In the United Kingdom, anyone convicted of a crime or being held on remand pending trial, will not have the full extent of the rights protected by the law or the European Court of Human Rights. Those individuals are subject to certain restrictions but they are not deprived of respect and dignity. They have a right to food, housing, work, education, protection and acknowledgement of the family unit.
Upon their arrival in prison prisoners are searched for any prohibited items, such as weapons or drugs. Any cash they have will go to a special account for their use. Under the rules of Prison Act 1952, each prisoner must observe the rules of that act, as well as any rules or regulations that cover that particular prison. Prisoners in the United Kingdom are allocated a certain category based on their offence and on their behavior. The basic regime of the prison has strict rules and few privileges compared to the standard or enhanced one. Some prisoners may be immediately segregated from the other prison inmates again due to their offence.
Prisoners have a right to contact their family. There are card or PIN telephones in all prisons but the phone calls are taped for security reasons. However, phone calls to legal counsels are not taped. Prisoners have a right to send two letters. The letters of prisoners of high-security prisons and category A offenders will be read by officials. Moreover, the director of the prison can send back letters sent to prisoners if they are too long or contain unsuitable content. The inmates of United Kingdom prisons have a right to food, protection from assault and access to the courts but they lose their civil right to vote.

Ciara Performs On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Celebrates 27th Birthday With Private Bash
Ciara gave her fans all sorts of life last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live as she performed her new tracks I'm Sorry, Got Me Good as well as oldies like Goodies and Like A Boy. You couldn't help but think back to Janet Jackson during the Rhythm Nation era as Ciara, dressed in all black, hit the stage and showed off some of the dance moves that were responsible for helping her pave her own lane during the early years of her career.
Earlier in the day, Ciara hit Times Square in her lace up Louboutin pumps to watch the premiere of her new video for Got Me Good before heading over to RSVP, where she celebrated her 27th birthday with close friends, family and industry associates.
Peep the flicks plus catch both Jimmy Kimmel Live! performances below:

William Lorenz Katz: Was not Martin Luther King, Jr. reaching beyond Vietnam when he warned of "approaching spiritual death" and called for "a significant and profound change in American life and policy" and insisted "we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values." Was he only speaking of Vietnam when he said, "War is not the answer?"

Heard the one about the chief executive who lost his job, searched high and low, but still couldn't find it? Chances are pretty slim: Rarely do top execs show a sense of humor when facing the ax. But Andrew Mason, the outgoing CEO of daily deal site Groupon, did just that. "After four and a half intense and wonderful years as CEO of Groupon," he wrote on Thursday, "I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding — I was fired today." Mason's Twitter followers called it funny, heartfelt and brave. "How you leave is as important as how you lead," says D. Michael Lindsay, president of Gordon College in Wenham, Mass., who spent eight years interviewing 550 CEOs for a forthcoming book. The de facto CEO of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI, was more solemn, but equally candid about the challenges of leadership. He admitted his decision was "difficult and trying" and — surprising many — said there were times when "the Lord seemed to sleep."
Given this week of surprise departures, here are 5 more memorable CEO farewell letters. — By Quentin Fottrell
The haiku tweet
Jonathan Schwartz, the former CEO of Sun Microsystems who was dubbed "My Little Pony" by some members of the press in honor of his trademark ponytail, resigned in February 2010 with a heavy dose of whimsy. "Today's my last day at Sun," he wrote. "I'll miss it. Seems only fitting to end on a #haiku. Financial crisis/Stalled too many customers/CEO no more." Citing outside factors, however, may not win him any literary awards. "It sounds like sour grapes," Lindsay says, "but the way he did it was clever." Today, Schwartz is the CEO of CareZone, a company that focuses on helping people manage chronic health issues. He still tweets from @OpenJonathan but appears to have more to say about leadership skills at other companies. His latest missive reads like a commentary on Yahoo's memo telling stay-at-home staff to report to work: "Employees slacking off at home aren't evidence of bad employees, they're evidence of bad managers."
The email blast
When Carol A. Bartz was ousted from her job as chief at Yahoo, her final missive was noted for its honesty — if not for its tact. In September 2011, after nearly three years in the job, Bartz sent an email blast to around 13,400 employees. "I am very sad to tell you that I've just been fired over the phone by Yahoo's Chairman of the Board," she wrote. "It has been my pleasure to work with all of you and I wish you only the best going forward." The subject line simply read: "Goodbye." In a time when so many outgoing executives wax lyrical about the company going in a new direction, such bluntness is rare. (A lesson for employers: It was sent from Bartz's still-active company email account.) That said, an outgoing CEO sending an angry email doesn't help instill confidence in the company they leave behind, experts say. "No matter what, take the high road," says Trisha D. Scudder, founder of the Executive Coaching Group in New York City.
The blame game
After less than one year at the helm of Hewlett Packard, Leo Apotheker was given the heave-ho in September 2011. But he didn't go quietly — perhaps with good reason. An $11 billion question remained: Who was responsible for the disastrous 2011 acquisition of British software maker Autonomy? Apotheker attempted to answer that after he bid adieu. "No single CEO is ever able to make a decision on a major acquisition in isolation, particularly at a company as large as H-P — and certainly not without the full support of the chairman of the board," he wrote in an email after his departure. "The H-P board, led by its chairman, met many times to review the acquisition and unanimously supported the deal." H-P subsequently wrote down the value of the software firm by $8.8 billion, alleging that $5 billion was due to improper accounting at Autonomy designed to inflate its revenue and profit. Raymond Lane remains the chairman of H-P.
The understatement
A big understatement or perfect use of tact? In March 2009, at the height of the financial crisis, General Motors issued a statement in the name of Rick Wagoner, the company's newly departed CEO: "On Friday I was in Washington for a meeting with administration officials. In the course of that meeting, they requested that I 'step aside' as CEO of GM, and so I have." Unlike Bartz or Mason, he avoided using the word "fired." In fact, the Obama administration used the threat of withholding more bailout money to force Wagoner out, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time, "marking one of the most dramatic government interventions in private industry since the economic crisis began last year." Wagoner thanked all the GM employees around the world and said Fritz Henderson was an "excellent choice" to be the next CEO. After the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Henderson himself resigned in December 2009 at the request of President Barack Obama.
The high road
Having resisted and failed to avoid Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Gerard J. Arpey decided in November 2011 to leave his post as CEO of American Airlines — a company where he had spent the previous three decades. His farewell letter may rank as one of the best in recent times, Lindsay says, because it avoided blaming others and self-justification and tried to restore confidence in the airline's future. "I respect the decision of the Board of Directors to take this path, and I am grateful for their request that I continue serving as your Chairman and Chief Executive," he wrote in his resignation letter. "The men and women of American Airlines have met challenge after challenge with perseverance, skill, determination and grace, and I know you will continue to do so for many years to come." The takeaway? There is an enormous personal toll on those who reach the corner office, Lindsay says, and many corporate leaders believe their identity is tied to their jobs, "but your identity is not stripped away from you in that moment of crisis — it simply reveals who you already are."

AgustaWestland handed over its 22nd, and last, upgraded Lynx AH9A utility helicopter to the British Army on 15 December, with the type continuing to impress during deployed operations in Afghanistan.
The modernisation programme - performed under two urgent operational requirement contracts signed in 2008 and 2010 and worth a combined £92 million ($143 million) - has equipped legacy Lynx AH9s with more powerful LHTEC CTS800-4N engines, capable of sustaining aircraft operations year-round in Afghanistan. Upgraded AH9As have been operating in the country since last year, conducting tasks including fire support, troop transport and casualty evacuation.
The final aircraft was handed over to the Army Air Corps during a 15 December ceremony at AgustaWestland's Yeovil site in Somerset, the UK.
"Many doubted this major upgrade programme could be done in the timescale initially laid down, but we will have achieved this [final delivery] milestone three months ahead of schedule," said AgustaWestland chairman Graham Cole.
Meanwhile, the company is also making steady progress with its new-generation Lynx Wildcat, which will enter operational use with the Army Air Corps and UK Royal Navy from January 2014. One of the company's prototype aircraft in early November entered a four-week series of trial landings on the deck of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel the Argus. The services will eventually receive a total of 62 production Lynx Wildcat AH1s and HMA1s.

Sales Support Specialists' salaries may rise greatly for those who assume a higher-end position such as a Sales Support Manager. The average Sales Support Manager brings home $56K per year.

Those proficient in Customer Service are, more often than not, also skilled in Microsoft Excel, Sales Administration, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
More years of relevant experience do not necessarily translate to higher paychecks. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $37K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $44K. Sales Support Specialists with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $45K. In the end, the overall pattern seems to be that more experience generally corresponds to higher pay; a Sales Support Specialist with more than 20 years of experience can earn $50K on average.

Sales Support Specialists can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Boston (+26 percent), Seattle (+11 percent), Denver (+9 percent), and Charlotte (+6 percent).

Finally…You Are About To Discover A High Quality, Content Rich, Mini Course Written Specifically for Anyone Suffering with Either an Underactive thyroid or Overactive Thyroid
And best of all… It's 100% FREE!
If your thyroid doesn't perform correctly, your body's natural metabolism is thrown off balance -often resulting in either an underactive thyroid (also called hypothyroidism) or an overactive thyroid (also called hyperthyroidism).
These thyroid disorders are caused by either excessive hormone production (overactive thyroid symptoms) or a shortage of the thyroid hormone (an overactive thyroid).
We believe that many people with thyroid disorders can be treated naturally & this site is dedicated to helping you to discover how.
Thyroid problems are frequently overlooked when symptoms first appear which may explain why they are some of the most undiagnosed disorders around the globe. Many thyroid disorders may be treated with every day herbs making natural thyroid treatment for dysfunctional thyroids more populart than ever.
Treating a thyroid disorder (whether it is an underactive thyroid or an overactive one) is relatively straightforward and safe. To maintain optimum metabolism and hormone growth, thyroid prescriptions are often recommended by GPs but are avoided when there are no harmful side effects. Natural treatments for thyroid dysfunction are used to supplement and maintain optimum thyroid health.
In our eCourse, we want to expose 10 common myths that thyroid sufferers are constantly forced to listen to – which actually may be preventing them from leading better lives. You don't have to be a victim of these myths.
Day 1: Expose the most common misconception relating to thyroid sufferer's weight.
Day 2: Demystify the myth that certain age groups are more prone to thyroid symptoms.
Day 3: Reveal the untruths about the side effects of thyroid treatment.
Day 4: Discover how your own actions may affect your condition.
Day 5: Uncover the big fat lies that so many thyroid sufferers are told.
There's so much information in this mini-course that you may be asking why we're giving this away for free!
Let me tell you…whether you have an underactive thyroid or an over active thyroid and have read everything there is to know about your thyroid disorder (like we have), you'll still be astounded at this valuable insight.

AMSOIL has a long history of sponsoring all things motorized, and the company has worked with Winter X Games athletes in snocross and snowmobile freestyle events. But with a new year comes a new twist, and this year AMSOIL will work hand-in-hand with a snowboarder.
As a disclaimer, the athlete isn't necessarily new, but the sport still is. Mike Schultz has raced under the Team AMSOIL moniker for the past two years in adaptive snocross and the Pro Vet class in the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series. This weekend, Schultz will take on a new sport at Winter X: Adaptive Snowboarder X.
Snowboarder X is basically a race down the hill, or X Course. Schultz has been practicing for the new X Games event, and is even bringing his sponsors along for the new ride.
"This is going to be a lot of fun," said Schutlz. "I've been practicing and it's just great to be part of X Games again."
Winter X Games starts Thursday, January 26. Schultz will race on Friday and Saturday, but the exhibition event is not scheduled to be televised.
X Games programming note: AMSOIL freestyle rider Justin Hoyer will be in two events at Winter X. On Thursday, he is a favorite to win Gold in Snowmobile Freestyle. On Sunday, he will compete in Best Trick, and is currently planning on a double-backflip. Hoyer's events will be televised on ESPN at 9:00 pm EST.

Sighting Your Bowling Target
As a beginner bowler or newcomer to the game,
sighting your bowling target
is an important key to delivering your ball with accuracy. A good way to begin is to first understand where the guides on the approach are located in reference to the foul line and to the targeting arrows about 15 feet past the foul line.
Sighting your bowling target
is an easy process if you allow existing lane markers work to your advantage.
Let's examine some important facts about the lane and sighting alignment:
The arrows are located about 15 feet past the foul line toward the pins and are in a triangular configuration. The "first arrow" and is located on the 5 board of the lane surface and is nearest to the edge of the lane. The next arrow is the "second arrow" which is located on the 10 board and so on across the lane. The arrows are symmetrically placed on the lane.
The circular guides embedded or stamped onto the approach just behind the foul line align with the 7 boards of the arrows down the lane. The largest guide on the approach floor is located on the 20 board (the center board of the lane) and aligns with the center of the 7 targeting arrows. Each guide at the foul line, both to the right and to the left of the center guide, is positioned 5 boards apart from the adjacent guides in the same manner as are the arrows.
If you trace back from the foul line, you will find another set of guides on the approach 12 feet behind the foul line and yet another set of guides 3 feet further back from the 12 foot guides. Usually, there are 5 guides at the 12 foot position on the approach and those guides align on the same boards as the center 5 guides at the foul line and down the lane with the center 5 arrows.
The approach guides are used primarily for alignment to the targeting arrows. If you choose to align your strike ball delivery over the second arrow with an appropriate angle from the release point just beyond the foul line, then with a modest or slight hook delivery, the instep of your sliding
bowling shoes
would cover the 18 board (two boards from the center guide dot at the foul line nearest your bowling arm).
Since bowlers strive to develop a slight hook ball delivery, then the ball should contact the lane just beyond the foul line on about the 12 or 13 board, roll over the 2nd arrow (the 10 board), and then the ball will change directions about two-thirds of the way down the lane at the break point and head toward the pocket located at the 17.5 board on the pin deck, the same board your sliding shoe covers at the foul line during the delivery.
Sighting the 2nd arrow (10 board) at the vicinity of the bowling arrows allows for you to keep your head level and steady and level while walking to the foul line without losing sight of your target on the lane. Sighting too close to the foul line might cause you to drop your head too suddenly in order to watch your mark on the lane and possibly can cause an errant delivery. Sighting too close to the pins is more difficult to see the target clearly compared to a closer point at the bowling arrows and might cause an errant delivery.
Keeping your eyes focused on your sighting target at the bowling arrows will aide your ability to deliver the ball accurately toward the target. New bowlers are known to think so much about the physical game mechanics involved in properly delivering a
bowling ball
that sometimes they forget to focus on their target to gain accuracy with their delivery. Once you set-up on the approach, keep your eyes focused on your target on the lane until your bowling ball passes the mark.
Sighting your bowling target
requires a little bit of understanding of the lane geometry and use of the bowling guides for alignment and the bowling arrows as your target area on the lane.
recommends you consult a certified coach or a bowling professional for more information on targeting and alignment.
