Light is no mere element or energy but the building block of all perception. It is magical, neither a wave nor a particle but either depending on the viewer, thus helping astrophysicists and New Age shamen find their mutual truth. Deuter got the idea for this album while alone on a long drive through the desert in New Mexico under the open sky. "New Mexico skies are filled with wonderful, brilliant light," Deuter notes, "similar to the light painters flock to in the south of France." Long respected as a serene and spiritual minimalist, Deuter includes instruments ranging from the ancient lute and harp to advanced synthesizers, creating healing tones that you can feel like sunshine through your clothes.
The album opens with a four-part variation of a 15th-century Spanish folk dance, a "simple melody and sequence of chords has intrigued composers through the centuries," explains Deuter. Titled "La Folie," each part has its own stately, graceful feeling of courtliness and newly awakened civilized passion, with pan flutes and angelic synthesizer drones that recall the placid sighs of an ancient church choir. "Memories of an Angel' starts out on somber "Moonlight Sonata"-style cycling piano notes that ground a gentle melody, and "Celestial Meadows" carries one of Deuter's most beautiful, heartfelt flute passages. It erupts like an absolving light-being halfway through the cautiously blissful Bach-like pull of synthesizers that comprises the song's liturgical style, creating a magnificent sense of stillness and grace. It's like watching a beautiful angelic face crying with relief and gratitude into a reflecting pool and remembering with a slow awakening feeling that the face you see is yours. And just like that, you're free.
Deuter's music has always been known for its quiet grace and healing power, so Mystery of Light succeeds in those departments as well as solving the mystery of its title. Put this on headphones even in the dead of night and you can feel the sun warm the back of your neck like it's your first ever day at the beach. Light comes from within as well as without, and Deuter has the wiring plan to fix all your soul's flickering switches.

Mark acts as Chief of Surgery, Christina asks Owen for details, and Callie and Arizona have a ladies night for Teddy.
At home, Christina is forcing Owen to recount the details of his one night stand. He has told her how he met the woman in a bar, but doesn't want to hurt Christina by saying more. She wants every detail.
Callie pushes the stroller through the park while testing Meredith on a medical question. She tries to tell her she killed the hypothetical patient, but Meredith refuses to accept it. Callie grins - she's ready for the boards!
At Seattle Grace, Meredith and Derek fool around, but get called to join everyone in the conference room. Mark strides in announcing that he's filling in for Owen as Chief of Surgery for the day. Bailey can't believe it. After, Teddy, Callie, and Arizona walk down the corridor. Teddy is giddy. Later, Callie tells Arizona she promised her they'd have a ladies night. They stop Bailey and pressure her to join them. Bailey agrees - if they buy.
Richard, Bailey, and Meredith check on a man with liver failure. Meredith joins Alex, April, and Jackson at the nurses' station where they get into a discussion about the boards. Meredith becomes intense when they talk about Christina. Meredith phones Christina to check on her, She realizes Owen is there and things are tense. Alex, meanwhile, gets caught trying to take case files to study. He meets up with Lexie, who has a photographic memory, and takes her back to the files. April is there and they pressure her to help them study.
Christina hangs up from Meredith and turns back to Owen at their place. He begins telling her how he met a friend of a patient after their last therapy session had gone wrong. They wound up at the bar, and then after, he kissed her outside. Christina sobs in agony, then storms into the washroom. Owen worries she's harming herself so tries to break the door - as she opens it. Christina laughs hysterically. Later, Christina theorizes that it would have been easier if he'd fallen in love with the other woman and left. Owen disagrees. He tries to explain doing this incredibly stupid thing - he was hurt. She realizes he wanted to hurt her back. Owen packs a bag and tells her he will never love another woman. Christina says, "You don't even remember her name."
At the hospital, Ben is amused by Derek having to take orders from Sloane. Derek is not amused. Bailey spots Ben and complains about the upcoming ladies night. He lets her know he'd planned to be with her tonight. Melting, she says she'll get out of the girls' night. Next, she joins Sloane and Webber in the x-ray room. They bicker about what organs to put into Webber's patient. Sloane overrides Webber, which Bailey can't believe. Webber and Bailey return to the liver patient to break the bad news that they can't use the organs. The man is understanding. Richard can't take it - he becomes angry.
In the cafeteria, Jackson tells Sloane he wants time to study for his boards. Derek appears and runs a surgery idea by Mark, who stuns him by saying he can do better! Derek meets Meredith in the daycare. He complains about Sloane, and Meredith talks about Christina and Owen.
Bailey finds Callie and Arizona in Callie's office and says she can't make girls' night - she and Ben have salsa lessons. Callie rolls her eyes, "You just want to get laid." Arizona leaves and Mark stops her to say they have to have Sophia tonight - he's got Chief stuff to do. Arizona finds Callie and informs her they'll have to have Teddy at their place. Arizona goes to tell Teddy. She then finds Callie and Bailey who are donning jackets and tells them they all have to attend ladies night for Teddy - no excuses!
Mark stops Meredith and Bailey from preparing the liver patient and goes to confront Richard who is harvesting the organs with benign tumors. Richard sets Mark straight and gets his way - the liver patient has his transplant. When he wakes up, he can't believe his family didn't come to check on him. Meredith calls Christina before leaving the hospital. Christina cries.
Derek and Ben perform their surgery with Mark watching over them and patting himself on the back. Ben whispers, "When's Owen coming back?" Derek replies, "Not soon enough." Derek goes up to the roof and finds Owen there. Owen is surprised to hear Mark was Chief - he'd asked for Derek or Webber. They smirk and Derek says he won't say anything.
Ladies night gets underway at Callie and Arizona's place. Bailey is there. Teddy arrives with 'Dirty Dancing' for them to watch.
In the morning, Meredith gathers the others together to help them study for boards under 'The Grey Method'. Christina shows up.
Spoilers for Next Week:
Meredith and Christina treat a patient who has been tortured.
Christina tells Meredith she wants to leave.
Candi's Comments:
The Christina and Owen scenes were tough to watch tonight, but very honest and raw. I was excited for ladies night, so disappointed that we didn't get to see some of the antics. Bailey and Ben's little interlude was hot! Mark being Chief of Surgery was a hoot - it's interesting how they sometimes treat him like the dumb jock though he's very intelligent. It was good that he got put in his place by Richard, but gave Derek a different perspective. What did you think about this episode? Let me know by commenting below!

Written by Sam Bowman | Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 | Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Yesterday, Vince Cable invoked Adam Smith's famous line that:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.
– The Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter X.
It's a pity he stopped reading there. Smith goes on to say:
It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. A regulation which obliges all those of the same trade in a particular town to enter their names and places of abode in a public register, facilitates such assemblies. . . . A regulation which enables those of the same trade to tax themselves in order to provide for their poor, their sick, their widows, and orphans, by giving them a common interest to manage, renders such assemblies necessary. An incorporation not only renders them necessary, but makes the act of the majority binding upon the whole.
– The Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter X.
As Eamonn Butler has written, Smith's point is that the only way businessmen can succeed in a 'conspiracy against the public' is if they are given protection by government regulation. If not, the pressures of competition will ensure that conspiring businesses are quickly undermined by their competitors. Next time Mr Cable decides to invoke Adam Smith to support market interventionism, he should read beyond the first line that suits him.

Susquehanna to Host Keyboard, Trombone Festivals for High School Students
Published on October 11, 2012
High school piano, organ and trombone players can advance their musical talents at Susquehanna University's upcoming Keyboard Fest and the Fall Festival o' Bones, learning from faculty and students in the university's Department of Music.
Keyboard Fest, a one-day festival for piano and organ students and teachers, will be held on Oct. 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Stretansky Concert Hall—in the Cunningham Center for Music and Art—and in Weber Chapel Auditorium.
The event will include master classes, performances, demonstrations and information sessions about the piano, organ and harpsichord. Susquehanna keyboard faculty and students will be available to answer questions about majoring in music, piano and organ studies and performance at Susquehanna, and careers in music. A recital at 5 p.m. by Susquehanna students, free and open to the public, will wrap up the day's events in Stretansky Concert Hall.
The registration fee is $50 per student, with an optional $10 fee to apply for a piano master class with Naomi Niskala, assistant professor of music, or an organ master class with Marcos Krieger, assistant professor of music and director of chapel music. Parents and teachers are encouraged to join their participating children or students free of charge; a $10 meal ticket is optional. More information and registration forms are available at www.susqu.edu/facstaff/n/niskala/keyboardfest.htm.
The Fall Festival o' Bones, a free, one-day festival open to trombone players who are in 9th grade or beyond, will take place on Nov. 4 from 12:30 to 5 p.m. in the Cunningham Center for Music and Art.
Kevin Henry, Susquehanna trombone instructor, will host the festival along with members of Spencer and the T-Bones, a funk, soul, rock and R&B group whose horn section consists of three trombones and a baritone saxophone. Events include a master class with the band and a clinic on the PMEA District 8 audition solo piece for high school players.
The day will end with a free, public performance at 5 p.m. by festival participants in Stretansky Concert Hall. For more information about the Fall Festival o' Bones, visit www.susqu.edu/academics/39121.asp, with registration at http://bit.ly/QJZAuz.

Last week Circle of Elevens Leo sold-out its Spoleto performances, including two last-minute additions. Wednesday, the festivals second physical theater offering, Traces, opens at the Sottile Theatre.
WHEN: 7 p.m. June 6; 8 p.m. June 7; 8 p.m. June 8; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. June 9; 2 p.m. June 10WHERE: Sottile Theatre, 44 George St.COST: $30-$75
Both shows can be termed physical theater because of the performers ability to communicate with minimal dialogue and maximal physicality. The one-man Leo communicates with the audience using miming and visual illusions, while the high-energy circus feats and street performance of Les 7 Doigts de la Mains Traces weaves together a narrative about a post-apocalyptic world.
You can look into the crowd and people from all places, all ages are enjoying the show, said Mason Ames, a Traces acrobat. No matter where we are, or whos in the audience, everyone walks away with this shared experience.
In 2005, Shana Carroll and Gypsy Snider devised Traces for four acrobats they had been coaching for years. Carroll said that as they watched the raw athleticism of these young people, they began to create a show that featured the multi-faceted abilities of a single human.
We found a concept to accept their youth, their street performance qualities, Carroll said. When youre in your 20s, you are still young enough to believe you can change the world.
In Traces the performers converge under a makeshift shelter and begin to rebuild the world with art. The characters in the show reveal a personal narrative through their specific acrobatic talents, set to a soundtrack that includes Radiohead and Dropkick Murphys.
In 2008, they reshaped Traces around seven new acrobats. They made sure to keep the basic structure and themes Carroll describes as existential, while adapting to the specific talents of the cast.
Last July, Traces played the Off-Broadway Union Square Theatre in New York City, where the show remains in an open-ended run.
The extremes to which these performers go in the show came from a personal belief that we should leave nothing left unlived, unsaid, Carroll said. And the ability to say that through the human body is incredible.
Ames, who has been with Traces for more than two years, performs hand-to-hand stunts with the troupes only woman, Valérie Benoît-Charbonneau. They grip one anothers hands and use their combined muscular power for a high-energy balancing act.
Benoît-Charbonneau spends a great deal of the show above the heads of the other performers, as she is the flyer in a feat known as Banquine, in which she is vaulted into airborne somersaults.
Unlike traditional theater, which relies on spoken language, physical theater demands mastery of the human body.
Its difficult to find people with the extensive training required for this show, Carroll said. Most of our cast has been studying their individual skills for years.
Traces has found success outside of its French-speaking Montreal home. Its ability to break down any language barrier, the show has visited Spain, Italy and Japan, among other countries.
In order to communicate with international audiences, movements must be precise and meaningful. When native German Tobias Wegner performed his show Leo last week, Spoleto audiences got it. No words required.
I found out that people, no matter their cultural background or language, have a common sense of humor, Wegner said. To experience audiences around the world and their reactions is extremely fascinating to me, and I appreciate it as a gift.

Capturing the Weather
Learn from the Pros: How to take Photos of Weather
Photographer DAVID MAYHEW
Born in the UK, David Mayhew was raised in rural Suffolk in the east of England, close to where Constable created his paintings and where pictorial naturalist photography first came to be under the skillful hand of Emerson. After his private school education David went on to obtain a Bachelor of Engineering in Product Design at Loughborough University. David was kind enough to share some thoughts on his weather photography skills.
Storm chasing has primarily 3 elements to it:
- Forecasting. The chances of all the ingredients coming together to produce a tornadic storm are "SLIM", that is:
– Shear (changing wind speeds and direction with height),
– Lift (the forcing of a parcel of air upwards from the surface, generally from a boundary like a front)
– Instability (the ability for a parcel of air once lifted to continue to rise, such as warm air moving into cooler air) and
– Moisture (providing the juice for the storm!)
- Chase Conditions. Once you figure out where the best potential area is you need to consider a number of factors. Time is always critical. Can you get there in time? Will the best potential be during day light? Geography is another. Is it a chaseable area or will there be trees, hills or congested traffic to deal with? For example leaving Chicago after 3pm you know you won't get far fast! Does the target area have a good network of roads? If they are dirt tracks has there been recent rain in the area turning them to mud? What direction and speed is the storm likely to go and can I keep up with it or will I need to get ahead of the storm to let it come to me?
- Driving. The tedious downside to the chase. I have done 1,000 miles in a day numerous times. Plus there are hazards to be aware of. Hydroplaning in the rain. "Yahoo" chasers that drive like idiots and put others at risk. Debree, including downed power lines if you are following behind a storm. The most important thing for chasing is having a reliable vehicle that can not only get you there, but get you away from a storm. And you have to expect the unexpected – this year my engine ceased up in the direct path of a rotating supercell storm that had been dropping tornadoes.
Spring is the prime season for chasing due to warm moist air coming off the Gulf and cold are aloft rolling off the Rockies, but tornadoes happen all year round given the right conditions. Like the tornado near Rockford a few weeks back. I dedicate the entire month of May to chasing and get out when I can after that. August is also a great month for Lightning.
On the photography side the higher end equipment you have the better quality you will get. When I edit the images I increase the contrast and saturation to draw out the detail in a dynamic tonal range that can print at over 40″x60″. With a low quality image you can not do this without bringing the flaws in the image.
I have 3 lenses that range from 16mm wide angle to 400mm zoom. The better I get at chasing the more I use my wide angle lens – I do get a bit close at times! I have lost my rear windshield to intense winds. A tripod is also recommended. With the adrenalin rush and strong winds in low light conditions it helps! Also needed for lightning shots. Lightning is easier to capture at night since you can leave the lens open and do a long exposure. Personally I just curse the heavens and press the shutter!
Why the Sky? It is forever changing and light filters through in different amounts producing great patterns, formations and changing colors. It is a subject that I will never get bored off. The sky also conveys great emotional qualities from the drama and intensity of a severe storm to the dynamic serene colors of a sunset. The sky is associated with the Heavens and divine inspiration, even the Greek Gods were housed in Atlantis in the clouds.
I shoot the sky with an artistic eye to capture mesmerizing images of beauty. My photography is fine art for the home or office, bringing fascination and a new "atmosphere" to any room!

Moving from Denver to the big city was a big change. The shear VOLUME of people in big city is overwhelming. He described his impressions, "EVERYWHERE you look, there's somebody!" To get away from the crowds, Jim started his days early. He gets out to the lakefront at dawn, ALONE . . . and his passion is born in the sunrises of Chicago. Well, over the years, he's captured (most) every visible sunrise from Chicago for the last 5 years + (a bit over 1,100 now)

George R. Garris, retired refuge manager with the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, died Thursday. He was 80.
Garris was born April 19, 1932, and grew up in Walterboro. He attended the University of Georgia, where he earned bachelor's degrees in forestry and wildlife management in 1959. He also served four years in the Air Force.
Garris became refuge manager of the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge in 1974 after serving several other refuges in the region, including St. Marks Wildlife Refuge in Florida and Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge in Round Oak, Ga.
At Cape Romain, Garris spearheaded several projects, such as the sea turtle nesting program and the construction of the SEWEE Visitor and Environmental Education Center.
Garris retired from Cape Romain in 2003, and moved to Westfield, N.C., where he lived for the remainder of his life.
To honor his work with Cape Romain, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford declared Sept. 13, 2003, as "George R. Garris Day," and the refuge dock at Cape Romain was renamed "Garris Landing."
Garris is survived by his wife, Mary Lou Garris; children, Georgia, Jean, Steve, Wayne and Clark; and six grandchildren.
The memorial service is planned for today at 2 p.m. in Pilot Mountain, N.C. Cox-Needham Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. Donations may be made to the SEWEE Visitor and Environment Education Center.

|There's no doubt that the members of T.O.K. spent a lot of their formative years watching MTV, and from it they took in a lot of R&B and hip-hop. Adding that to dancehall, they've produced one of the most effective (and commercial) crossovers yet to emerge, a fairly seamless blend. "Money 2 Burn," for example, draws from mid-period Prince as well as East Coast hip-hop and Shaggy for a glorious weekend anthem, while "The Way U Do the Thing U Do" takes them back to their a capella roots -- albeit in slightly ragged fashion -- on the Smokey Robinson classic. But while this album covers a number of their big Jamaican hits, including "Eagles Cry" (Prince's influence again), "You Ah Murder," and "Man Ah Bad Man," they all pale when stood next to "Chi-Chi Man," the biggest Jamaican hit of 2000 and 2001. While its inspiration comes from a Christmas carol ("Do You Hear What I Hear?"), the scope and presentation are almost operatic, with a suitably spacious production to do justice to the idea. But this is a band with plenty of ambition who has barely started. They can sing (check "I Believe"), they can rap, and they've got the dancehall presence. This could be the beginning of real U.S. success. Watch out for the great version of "Somebody's Watching Me" as hidden bonus track, with fun '80s vocoder effects. ~ Chris Nickson

For $5, visitors can capture a view of campus from the balconies of the library bell tower. There is only one day each year for students, alumni and fans to visit the rooftop for a chance to see this unique view of campus. The "Rooftop Photo Op" continues to serve as a popular event students and families visiting campus for the day of Walkaround.
"This is a rare opportunity that many students and alumni take advantage of each year," said Misty Smith, associate professor/catalog librarian. "This view of campus makes for a great background, and guests enjoy taking pictures from this spot. The 'Rooftop Photo Op' is a fun occasion; many people even have this on their bucket list."
The event is open to the public and costs $5 per person. All proceeds benefit the Stillwater Area United Way. Guests can meet their guide on the 5th floor of the Edmon Low Library. Groups will be escorted to the roof every 15 minutes.

Product description
The impact of US culture on Europe is indisputable. This text argues that the culture of the United States is in decline but it is up to its citizens whether the twilight heralds eternal night or the dawn of a new, more cultural, age. Like ancient Rome in the fourth and fifth centuries, the American Empire has now seen the passage of its most triumphant years and is rapidly approaching a period of increased social chaos. So argues Morris Berman in this damning portrait of American society. Whether examining the corruption at the heart of modern politics, the "Rambification" of popular entertainment, or the collapse of the educational system, Berman's analysis makes clear that there is little Americans can do as a society to arrest the onset of corporate Mass Mind culture. Citing writers as diverse as de Toqueville and Don DeLillo, Berman argues that cultural preservation is a matter of individual conscience, a refusal to base one's life on kitsch or consumerism, profit or self-promotion.

Concerned residents of Whitley County faced the countyŌĆÖs plan commission Wednesday night with questions and strong comments about the possibility of wind-harnessing machines popping up throughout the county.
The result of the several hour-long meeting was the commission decided to take another month to look at the issue.
The commission, faced with a proposed ordinance designed to regulate that very thing say they are also concerned that without regulation, large windmills could some day pepper the landscape without any county oversight.
The Whitley County CommissionersŌĆÖ chambers in the Whitley County Government Building was standing room only Wednesday night as the countyŌĆÖs Republican precinct committeemen deliberated for more than two hours to find a new at-large county councilman.
After seven rounds of voting, Paula G. Reimers of Columbia City narrowly defeated Matthew J. Boyd for the county council seat being vacated by Jim Banks.
Banks resigned his spot effective Nov. 2 to run unopposed for the Indiana State Senate seat vacated by retiring Sen. Dr. Gary Dillon.

2012 election leaves W.Va. SuperPAC in its wake
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia's first so-called super political action committee is considering its options after the recent election.
The PAC Stay the Course West Virginia won a federal ruling allowing its donors to contribute unlimited amounts.
Spokesman Jason Parsons says the group hasn't decided whether it will take part in future elections. But it considers 2012 a success. It was formed to help re-elect Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, and the Democrat won in November.
Stay the Course reported spending more than $64,000, including more than $10,500 toward pre-election ads. A rival group supporting Tomblin's Republican opponent devoted twice that on independent expenditures. That group, New Direction West Virginia, describes itself as a federally designated nonprofit corporation. But state and federal officials have no such records of the group.

Joseline hit up Benzino's late night radio show. Joseline is not going to bite her tongue for anyone, or any audience. "I'm the baddest chick, what can I say? They only want to see the Puerto Rican princess." Joseline's getting that bread–$20,000/week according to her math. What no one expected was her response to what's up with her and Stevie. "I love Stevie as a person, I appreciate him, but I just don't want to be with him. Currently I'm single, and I'm always looking for love, 'cause I like to have sex." Whoa. Benzino is concerned about whether or not Stevie J knows this. Joseline obviously doesn't care.
K.Michelle is going to plan Erica an engagement party. There's only one problem: K.Michelle doesn't really fool with everyone Erica loves. "Mimi, Ariane?" Erica asks. Nope. K.Michelle is not happy Ariane slept with her ex and didn't tell her. She spread her "hot pocket" and didn't tell her as a friend. "Rasheeda?" "No, no, no" K.Michelle responded. K was not budging on that one.
Stevie J heard Joseline's radio interview and decided he needed to smooth things over with his number one money maker. "You're such a pimp," Joseline tells him as she takes the purple fur he bought her out of the box. "I love the fur and everything like that, but if this is going to cost me I don't even want to take it." Joseline is tired of him treating her like a prostitute. "See what daddy do for you?" he asks. Getting rid of Stevie was never going to be that easy.

Fundamentals of a Good Chronological Resume for Job-Seekers
Printer-Friendly Version
by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.
You probably have no more than 30 seconds to convince a potential employer that you deserve an interview. A resume summarizes your accomplishments, your education, and your work experience, and should reflect your strengths.
What follows is an outline of a typical chronological resume -- best suited for most job-seekers.
Not sure what kind of resume you need? Check out one of other expert resume articles in our Resume Resources for more details.
Key Components of a Standard Job-Search Chronological Resume:
It is essential that a potential employer can reach you.
This section should include your name, address (city and state is sufficient in this age of identity theft), one phone number, and one e-mail address. If a college student, this section might also include a school address and a permanent home address.
Resume Focal Point
Every resume needs a focal point -- a device (or set of devices) that instantly tells a hiring decision-maker what job or type of job the candidate seeks and what his or her top selling points are. See the menu of available devices in our article, Your Job-Search Resume Needs a Focal Point: How Job-Seekers Can Add Focus to Resumes.
Key Accomplishments
Your resume should lead off with a section that highlights your key accomplishments and achievements. Think of this section as an executive summary of your resume; identify key accomplishments that will grab the attention of an employer.
This section should summarize (using nouns as keywords and descriptors) your major accomplishments and qualifications
This section can also be labeled "Professional Profile," "Summary of Accomplishments," "Key Skills," "Summary of Qualifications," "Qualifications Summary," or "Qualifications." Consider using our Resume Professional Profile/Qualifications Summary Worksheet.
For new college grads, this entry should be your next. For others with full-time work experience, this section should follow your experience section.
This section should include school(s) attended (including years of attendance), majors/minors, degrees, and honors and awards received.
For new grads only: If you decide to list your GPA, make sure to use the GPA that puts you in the best light -- either overall GPA, school or college GPA, or major GPA. Read more on the GPA issue, as well as many other common questions from college job-seekers in our Frequently Asked Resume Questions for College Students/Grads.
Professional Experience
This section can also be labeled "Experience, "Work History," or "Employment." We like using experience -- especially for new college grads, because experience is broader than work history, allowing you to include major school projects that showcase your skills and abilities.
This section should include company name, your job title, dates of employment, and major accomplishments. List experiences in reverse chronological order, starting with your most current experience.
List your accomplishments in bullet format (rather than paragraph format). Avoid discussing job duties or responsibilities. Consider using our Accomplishments Worksheet.
If you don't have a lot of career-related job experience, consider using transferable skills to better highlight your work experience. Consider using our Transferable Skills Worksheet for Resumes and Cover Letters.
Finally, make sure to make use of action verbs when describing your accomplishments.
This section is optional; include it only if you have room on your resume for it. Items from this section are often used as an ice-breaker by interviewers looking to start an interview on an informal basis.
This section should only include professional memberships and non-controversial activities/interests.
Many experts say this section is passe, but if you have space, include it. If nothing else, this section signals the end of your resume.
This section should only include a statement saying references are available upon request.
Do not include the names of your references on your resume. Make them a separate sheet; see our Sample Job Reference Lists for Job-Seekers.
Questions about some of the terminology used in this article? Get more information (definitions and links) on key college, career, and job-search terms by going to our Job-Seeker's Glossary of Job-Hunting Terms.

Suhayb Ar-Rumi
When the Prophet gave permission for his followers to migrate to Madinah, Suhayb resolved to go in the company of the Prophet and Abu Bakr. The Quraysh however found out about his intentions and foiled his plans. They placed guards over him to prevent him from leaving and taking with him the wealth, the gold and the silver, which he had acquired through trade.
After the departure of the Prophet and Abu Bakr, Suhayb continued to bide his time, waiting for an opportunity to join them. He remained unsuccessful. The eyes of his guards were ever alert and watchful. The only way out was to resort to a stratagem.
One cold night, Suhayb pretended he had some stomach problems and went out repeatedly as if responding to calls of nature. His captors said one to another:
"Don't worry. Al-Laat and al-Uzza are keeping him busy with his stomach."
They became relaxed and sleep got the better of them. Suhayb quietly slipped out as if he was going to the toilet. He armed himself, got ready a mount and headed in the direction of Madinah.
When his captors awoke, they realized with a start that Suhayb was gone. They got horses ready and set out in hot pursuit and eventually caught up with him. Seeing them approach, Suhayb clambered up a hill. Holding his bow and arrow at the ready, he shou ted:
"Men of Quraysh! You know, by God, that I am one of the best archers and my aim is unerring. By God, if you come near me, with each arrow I have, I shall kill one of you. Then I shall strike with my sword."
A Quraysh spokesman responded: By God , we shall not let you escape from us with your life and money. You came to Makkah weak and poor and you have acquired what you have acquired.."
"What would you say if I leave you my wealth?" interrupted Suhayb. "Would you get out of my way?"
"Yes," they agreed.
Suhayb described the place in his house in Makkah where he had left the money, and they allowed him to go.
He set off as quickly as he could for Madinah cherishing the prospect of being with the Prophet and of having the freedom to worship God in peace. On his way to Madinah, whenever he felt tired, the thought of meeting the Prophet sustained him and he proce eded with increased determination. When Suhayb reached Quba, just outside Madinah where the Prophet himself alighted after his Hijrah, the Prophet saw him approaching. He was over-joyed and greeted Suhayb with beaming smiles.
"Your transaction has been fruitful, O Abu Yahya. Your transaction has been fruitful." He repeated this three times. Suhayb's face beamed with happiness as he said: "By God, no one has come before me to you, Messenger of God, and only JibriI could have t old you about this." Yes indeed! Suhayb's transaction was fruitful. Revelation from on high affirmed the truth of this:
"And there is a type of man who gives his life to earn the pleasure of God. And God is full of kindness to His servants." (The Quran, Surah al-Baqarah, 2:2O7).
What is money and what is gold and what is the entire world so long as faith remains! The Prophet loved Suhayb a great deal. He was commended by the Prophet and described as preceding the Byzantines to Islam. In addition to his piety and sobriety, Suhayb was also light-hearted at times and had a good sense of humor. One day the Prophet saw him eating dates. He noticed that Suhayb had an infection in one eye. The Prophet said to him laughingly: "Do you eat ripe dates while you have an infection in one eye ?"
"What's wrong?" replied Suhayb, "I am eating it with the other eye."
Suhayb was also known for his generosity. He used to give all his stipend from the public treasury fi sabilillah, to help the poor and those in distress. He was a good example of the Quranic verse: "He gives food for the love of God to the needy, the orph an and the captive." So generous was he that Umar once remarked:
"I have seen you giving out so much food that you appear to be too extravagant." Suhayb replied: "I have heard the Messenger of God say: 'The best of you is the one who gives out food.'"
Suhayb's piety and his standing among MusIims was so high that he was selected by Umar ibn al-Khattab to lead the Muslims in the period between his death and the choosing of his successor.
As he lay dying after he was stabbed by a Magian, Abu Lulu, while leading the Fajr Salat, Umar summoned six of the companions: Uthman, Ali, Talhah, Zubayr, Abdur Rahman ibn Awl, and Sad ibn Abi Waqqas. He did not appoint anyone of them as his successor , because if he had done so according to one report "there would have been for a short time two Khalifahs looking at each other". He instructed the six to consult among themselves and with the Muslims for three days and choose a successor, and then he sai d:

The law firm, Eversheds, has appealed the ruling.
According to John De Belin, both he and his pregnant co-worker Angela Reinholz faced redundancy from Eversheds' Leeds office. The firm undertook an assessment of both employees' abilities using a points system.
De Belin lost by a half a point and the Eversheds made him redundant in February 2009. Mr De Belin learned, however, that assessors 'unfairly inflated' Ms Reinholz's test score on one of the criteria - securing 'lock-up' payments - because she was on maternity leave during the assessment period.
Tribunal judge Jeremy Shulman said: "We do not find that the Sex Discrimination Act was intended to protect a woman on maternity leave in a redundancy scoring exercise where we find that she received an unfairly inflated score, when all other scores were actual, the notional score being designed to defeat a tribunal case by Ms Reinholz."

Many geocaches are hidden within areas that are generally open to access by the public, such as parks, national forests, etc. Agencies and their employees that are charged with the stewardship of these public lands (referred to on this web site as land managers or land management) have legitimate concerns that geocaching and the hiding of geocaches may have an adverse impact on environmentally sensitive lands, sites of historical or archaeological significance, and the like. As a result, many agencies have adopted policies regarding geocaching. These policies range from the prohibitive through the restrictive to the permissive.
When someone wants to hide a geocache, or its older cousin, a letterbox, on public land, it can be difficult to determine what a particular land management's policies are. Often these policies have not been published on the Web or otherwise widely disseminated. For instance, "everyone knows" that geocaching is prohibited in lands managed by the United States National Park Service (NPS), but a search of the NPS website reveals only a few documents that match the string "geocaching". Each of those documents applies to a single NPS facility. A Google search finds more results, and some of the documents found in that search imply that limited geocaching is permitted in certain NPS facilities. The draft of the 2006 NPS Management Policies contains no references to geocaching. So in spite of conventional wisdom, there does not appear to be single policy for the US National Park Service. These are examples of the difficulties this website attempts to address.
We created this site to provide a centralized resource for published policies regarding Geocaching and similar activities. Land managment agencies, including managers of publicly accessible private property, are welcome to register and list their policies, or submit their policies to us for listing on their behalf. We also invite submissions of documented policies from the general public. There is no charge for these services.
We welcome anyone to use this site to find the policies for the area in which they are interested, to review existing policies for use as models in the creation of new ones, or for other research. Please contact us with your suggestions for improving the site.

De la ville à l'urbain émietté : au-delà du dualisme centre-périphérie
From cities to crumbling urbanism : beyond centre-periphery dualism
European Sociological Association 10th Conference
In Geneva, Switzerland, 8th september 2011
RS 23 – Bringing Lefebvre sociology back in urban studies
Hervé Marchal, Senior Lecturer, Jean-Marc Stébé, University Professor
Our aim is to show how we can better understand the current urbanised world from a re-examination of the notion of centrality, a notion defined by Henri Lefebvre (1972) in his work The right to the city . To put it more succinctly, we will examine the idea of centre/periphery dualism as described in Lefebvre's sociological works, from research carried out in the suburbs of a city in the east of France with a population of 350,000. Is the centre/periphery dualism of industrialised cities still pertinent today in order to understand urbanised and scattered modern cities ?
1/ Centre/periphery opposition in urban society
One of Lefebvre's most important ideas, visible throughout his writings dedicated to cities, is that of the complete urbanisation of society. He demonstrated, almost at the same time as Melvin Webber (1996) how the conventional city, the historic city, had made way for an urban reality. He predicted the fragmentation and decline of the historic city making way for a new reality "urbanism". From that moment on, the industrial cities of the 60's developed into "unsightly cities, non-urban, built-up areas, conglomerates, 'conurbations'" (Lefebvre, 1970, p. 24) and forecast an unprecedented turning point in human history. Lefebvre theorised that industrialisation would decline; then, and most importantly, he predicted the emergence of an "urbanised society", in other words, a domination of "urbanism", not only in the rich and highly industrialised cities but also over the whole of the planet.
What Lefebvre predicted was an excessive urbanisation of conventional cities, completely distinct from the countryside. In other words, he foresaw that conventional cities would stretch beyond their limits and spill over into ever-expanding areas. He compared this phenomenon of urbanisation to a real "explosion" of the city as such.
Urbanism, as defined by Lefebvre, meant a way of thinking about what would happen to the conventional city. It was a concept which did not describe an actual reality, but a future reality ; that is to say, urbanism was on the horizon. According to him, this reality, which did not as yet exist, referred to a world where the fact of living in a town, concentrated in a restricted space, concerned an ever-increasing number of people. The higher the number of individuals living in cities around the world, the more the city, as we understand it today, would disappear and be replaced by, what the geographer, Michel Lussault (2007 ; 2009) termed as, "generalised urbanism".
Lefebvre believed that urban areas would continue to be structured according to the dualism of the centre/periphery. The city centre would be reserved for the well-off ; reserved for the decision-makers, the managers and those who have the power to determine society's fate. Here, one would find the corridors of power, decision-making centres like the headquarters of firms, banks and state administrations. This meant that, if the decision-making centres, the centres of wealth, power, information and knowledge were concentrated in the city centre, then all those who did not take part in these activities would find themselves living on the periphery. The periphery, therefore, would accommodate the less affluent fringes of the population. It would also be the site for factories, warehouses and transport routes.
Lefebvre was concerned about how easily the majority would have access to the centre of this new urbanised world, allowing them to have, what he called "the right to the city". Lefebvre argued for the struggle against segregation between the centre and the periphery. This segregation was as apparent between areas (centre/periphery) as between individuals (rich/poor). This segregation was therefore spatial as well as social.
In fact, Lefebvre showed that there were strong links between, on the one hand, the city centre with its living spaces for the rich, such as the old, prestigious Haussmann buildings and, on the other hand, the periphery and the living spaces for the poor, such as council estates (in France, these are known as HLM) (Stébé, Marchal, 2010).
By inventing the notion of "centrality", Lefebvre wanted to put an end to the dualism of the centre/periphery which is indissociable from the rich/poor divide. Inventing centrality was inventing a new type of city where everyone had the right to the best that urban life could offer and to all the facilities that this urban life could provide. Centrality restored the right to socialise and assemble ; it restored the right to live, to adapt oneself to the surroundings, to do what one wanted with one's living space ; it restored the need for conviviality, sharing and defining spaces beyond what politicians and town planners decreed.
2/ The emergence of a multitude of centralities
But, centrality, as envisaged by Lefebvre, never materialised (Cortes, 2009). In other words, the inequalities between the centre and the periphery persisted (Marchal, Stébé, 2010). The right to the city centre, legitimate seat of power and culture, didn't apply to everyone in this urbanised world, although, in France, major political decisions were made to reduce the division between the centre and the periphery. In spite of forty years of urban and city policies aimed at piecing together the separate parts of the cities and bringing the centre and the periphery together, social and territorial divisions have not disappeared.
But, in spite of these inequalities, it would be impossible to understand the current situation if we continued to study urban reality only from the binary and simplistic idea of centre/periphery opposition. In fact, the city, which has now "exploded", as Lefebvre put it, is now made up of a multitude of centralities . These are now part of the gradual diffusion of the city ; the centralities form part of an ever-extending urban front, far from the historic boundaries of the city (Bassand, 2007). This new urban city is scattered and is spreading out, which is the result of the amount of construction of numerous housing estates, shopping centres, university campuses, hospital complexes and research establishments.
Our theory is that in today's urban society, the inhabitants of suburban housing estates choose where they live not because of CENTRALITY as defined by Lefebvre, but because of CENTRALITIES which have sprung up everywhere in this scattered "urban society".
3/ Centrality as a basis for living choices
Following research into the way of life of the inhabitants of an average-sized French city (Nancy) we want to show that the choice of living in the suburbs can be explained by research into the centrality available in the suburbs. In other words, life in a house in the suburbs, can be better explained by the fact that periphery does not only mean on the outskirts because one can also find all the conveniences of the centrality of the city centre . For example, there are shops, schools and leisure centres.
Centrality in the plural as seen in the suburbs is far from the notion of centrality as defined by Lefebvre. But, even in the plural, suburban centrality indicates that the inhabitants of suburban housing estates also spend their lives, in one way or another, around social hubs, population density and urban continuity. In this sense, the existence of a multitude of centralities does not totally invalidate Lefebvre's concept ; whether we talk about suburban centrality or the centrality of the city centre, the common factors are social life, the amount of cultural activity and access to urban facilities. In our opinion, therefore, suburban centrality has common areas, points of convergence, with the centrality of the city centre.
Our research, which was based in part on the living choices of the inhabitants of housing estates, has demonstrated that the attraction of a house in the suburbs can be explained by the existence of centralities.
In other words, centrality, which may seem in opposition to the periphery, would in fact be the "support" mechanism, the framework upon which decisions on living choices are made. Centrality should therefore be seen not only as a spatial support but also as a social support, making sense of the choice of having a house in the suburbs.
Going back to Lefebvre, one must remember that centrality means, not only proximity to the city centre with all its advantages, but also, in a broader sense, having access to shops, jobs, health centres, cultural activities and even education, all of which can be found on the periphery. Taking all the dimensions of centrality into consideration, allows us not to fix on only one aspect of the daily lives of suburban dwellers. Their living choice is the result of a compromise between this or that centrality. In other words, suburbanites look at the many different aspects of their centralities (the quality of education, distance from the workplace, accessibility to shops, environment) in order to justify their choice to themselves and to others.
If one accepts the idea that suburbanites are looking for centrality then we must put the theory that they are seeking harmony with nature into perspective. (Corajoud, 2004). Our point of view is that these people are more inclined to look for a countrified décor, rather than total immersion in a rural setting. More than a proximity to country life, it is the accessibility to centrality (shops, schools, cinemas, jobs) that motivates their choice. In fact, their main concern is not being left out of dynamic urban life; rather, they want to be an integral part of it, totally integrated into the life of the area. Having a house in the suburbs allows people to benefit from the assets centrality has to offer as well as satisfying the desire of owning one's own house and piece of land, with a countrified décor (Raymond et al., 2001).
Bearing in mind the importance of centrality in suburban life, leads us to re-examine the very existence of the suburb (Paquot, 2006) acknowledging the fact that centrality in today's "urban society" is no longer attached, as Lefebvre thought, to the city centre, but is spread out into numerous urban niches, which are spatially farther and farther from the city centre. These urban niches are popping up all over the place even in the farthest reaches of the suburbs. In other words, centrality in an "urban society" is not polycentric in our opinion, like in American edge cities, but far more scattered into a multitude of centralities : there is a centrality in scattered urbanism ; there is scattered urbanism in centrality.
Therefore, in today's "urban society", do peripheral areas or suburban areas, in the strictest sense of the words, still exist ? Surely, this shows that a study of suburban areas in terms of centrality renders the dualistic premise opposing the centre/periphery inadequate : the centre can become the periphery as much as the periphery can become the centre. In this respect, isn't the development of extended urban areas in the United States (Phoenix, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston) an urban model, where there is no countryside, where there are no suburbs or town centres but where centrality can be seen everywhere ? (Abbott, 1987 ; 2001 ; Maumi, 2008) Doesn't this emerging model help us to better understand the evolution of suburbia and that of 'urban society' in France today ?
If, to a great extent, this is true, then it follows that the centrality of the city centre in the Lefebvre sense, still exists and is still pertinent in Paris, as demonstrated by the sociologists, Michel Pinçon and Monique Pinçon-Charlot (1989 ; 2004 ; 2007). In this sense, even if, in many ways, urban society challenges the idea of centre/periphery dualism, it is still true that this dualism hasn't completely disappeared. Therefore, one should also examine the process of gentrification, that is to say, the return to the city centres of the upwardly mobile, upper-middle classes ("bourgeois bohemian" – "bobos", "yuppies", "guppies") (Bidou-Zachariasen, 2003), who consider the attraction of the city centre essential to their existence (Stébé, Marchal, 2009).
In conclusion, doesn't the emergence of centralities all over "urban society" result in a continuum, with the centre and the periphery as its two poles, only to finally appear as reasonably rare situations ?

There's no telling how long it would have taken for Alabama State University officials to respond to the news that two of its programs had their postseason bans lifted by the NCAA had it not been for questions from the Advertiser.
The university received the news late last week. Volleyball and baseball no longer face postseason restrictions as a result of Academic Progress Rate penalties imposed by the NCAA. Great news, right?
Maybe not, according to ASU officials, who elected to hold on to the information and not tell anyone (except for the coaches, of course).
Is this 2013? The era of social media and "instant" news? Apparently not to ASU administrators, who took the opportunity to offer good news to their fans and turned it on its head, stumbling through a press release with as little information as possible, showing an inept ability to manage either the process of getting out the news or putting a positive spin on what had previously been negative news.
It makes you wonder how long good coaches like baseball's Mervyl Melendez or volleyball's Penny Lucas-White will stay at a university that doesn't seem to understand how to promote their sports. While the rest of the world continues to evolve toward better methods at marketing their products, services, etc., Alabama State officials continue to live in an outdated world. While the NCAA continues to hammer away at their failing APR scores every year, they continue to process the information the same way, demonstrating year after year after frustrating year a failure to follow the rules that most every other institution follows.
And this is a school that wants to move up to Football Bowl Subdivision in football? What conference would want them? Beyond the normal problems associated with a small group of donors (which, in the eyes of prospective conference officials, would fail to provide revenue to that conference) or small attendance at games (which hinders a conference that must meet minimum attendance requirements), ASU has repeatedly failed to achieve the minimum APR score of 900, which in two years rises to 930.
"The Alabama State University women's volleyball and baseball teams have been cleared to participate in postseason competition in the upcoming 2013-14 season," a Wednesday release finally noted. "The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) informed ASU of its decision, which will allow the women's volleyball and baseball teams to be eligible to qualify for, and compete in, Southwestern Athletic Conference championship tournaments, and subsequent NCAA Tournament play if postseason bids are won."
That's the release? What about the other penalties imposed by the NCAA which restricted practice time? If those penalties remain in place and ASU fails to achieve 900 next year, the school is subject to stiffer penalties. Or do we just pretend that's not a problem since the school continues to struggle to reach minimum requirements in several sports.
"We believe this decision is evidence of progress, showing that changes we have implemented, both in programs and personnel, are providing positive measureable results," ASU interim president William H. Harris said in a craftily prepared statement that took several hours to manufacture. "We are pleased and appreciative of the decision rendered by the NCAA in regards to our women's volleyball and baseball programs regaining their postseason eligibility. We will continue our commitment to ensure all athletic programs meet and exceed established standards, and remain optimistic for favorable outcomes for our football and men's basketball programs."
Really? That's the statement? No word from the coaches about how happy they are they can compete in the postseason, which is what they were hired to do, no reference by those coaches that the stigma of penalties is erased, allowing them to recruit student-athletes who would like the opportunity to play for a championship?
What methods were taken in the appeal to eradicate the postseason ban? What did ASU officials learn between the filing of the original information and the filing of the appeal that allowed them to reverse the ruling? Does that give them renewed hope they can get football off the hook? Or men's basketball?
Who knows? At ASU, silence is golden. With Faulkner advancing to five NAIA national tournaments in 10 sports and AUM on the verge of possibly moving up to Division II, it appears that a student-athlete from the River Region looking for a progressive university has several options that are more appealing than ASU. And until ASU learns how to operate in the 21st Century, it will continue to be that way.
