Dedicated to Philanthropy: Alumni Rank Tenth in Nation for Peace Corps Service
When Ana Moreno '05 started her Peace Corps assignment as a volunteer in Paraguay, she expected challenges as she taught local residents the importance of nutrition and sanitation. What she didn't expect was that before she could accomplish anything, she had to gain people's trust.
She worked in a town five hours away from Paraguay's capital and about 20 miles from the closest paved road, where the 500 residents had never seen a Peace Corps volunteer and were wary of American outsiders.
"I was the only person in town who owned a camera, so I started bringing people prints of the photos I'd snapped around town," says Moreno, who majored in biochemistry and Spanish at Willamette. "For most, these pictures were a cherished possession. I also made a point to recognize people's birthdays with homemade cakes -- a treat most people can't afford. Camera and birthday cake foreign relations worked wonders, and I can't count how many of my friendships started out with those two things."
Moreno is one of many Willamette alumni whose desires to travel and help others led them to join Peace Corps. The organization recently ranked Willamette tenth in the nation on its list of small undergraduate schools producing volunteers. With 18 alumni volunteers in 15 countries, Willamette is the only small Oregon school in the top ten.
"Willamette's motto, 'Not unto ourselves alone are we born,' draws students who are interested in public service, and the excellent liberal arts education prepares us to be successful in cultural exchange and development programs," says Mara Hansen '06, currently a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco. "In many ways the little Willamette campus opened my eyes to the world. I was surrounded by students, staff and faculty who were seeking to better themselves as scholars and global citizens."
Elizabeth Doerr '03, who served in Malawi, agrees that her Willamette experience greatly influenced her decision to join. As a community health educator, she helped develop a project proposal to train primary school teachers in how to teach their students HIV/AIDS awareness.
"Willamette really encourages philanthropy and cross-cultural understanding through study abroad and campus activities in which students can get involved," Doerr says. "Willamette students also seem to have a heightened sense of awareness of what is going on in the world."
Audrey Squires '07, currently a volunteer in Guatemala, says the experience of living and working in another country has been invaluable. "Sometimes when I'm walking down the muddy streets of Chahal, I step out of myself for a moment and envision me standing on a globe in this random little town in rural Guatemala, then spin the globe to Oregon and am baffled as to how I managed to come to this place, of all places in the world," she says. "However it happened, it doesn't really matter. I'm just glad it did."
Once Moreno gained the trust and friendship of her Paraguayan neighbors, they taught her more about her place in the global community. "It was very humbling to realize that the fact I grew up in a nice house, always had enough food to eat, and got a good education doesn't have anything to do with Americans being somehow more intellectually advanced than the rest of the world," she says. "In the farthest corner of rural Paraguay, in dirt-floor kitchens, I met some of the wisest and most generous people I have ever encountered."

The Obama administration would have us believe that the outcry from voters at health-care town halls is a concoction of the insurance industry. Well, those insurance execs must be awfully sneaky — they seem to have infiltrated the polls as well. The Wall Street Journal reports on the Democrats' woes:
A new Quinnipiac University poll out this morning underscores the challenge facing them as they and their Republican (and some conservative Democratic) critics spend the month pressing their respective cases.
For instance, the Quinnipiac national poll -– with an unusually large sample of more than 2,000 interviews –- found that almost three in four Americans don't believe Mr. Obama's promise that any health reform that he signs will not add to the federal deficit.
[. . .]
In the Quinnipiac survey, 55% (including 54% of the key independent voter bloc) said they were more concerned that the overhaul would increase the deficit than that Congress would not pass some kind of overhaul. That same 57% (and 59% of independents) disagreed with the following statement: "Overhauling the nation's health care system is so important that it should be enacted even if it means substantially increasing the federal budget deficit."
The poll also contains another piece of the public opinion puzzle that Mr. Obama and the Democratic congressional leadership may find problematic: Voters by a large margin don't want a health care overhaul if it can only garner Democratic votes. In other words, even though Democrats control both houses of Congress, voters are suspicious of a bill that only has Democratic support.
The poll found 59% of the public disagreed (and only 36% agreed) with the following statement: "Congress should approve a health care overhaul even if only Democrats support it."
A CNN poll has somewhat better news for Obama — respondents support "Obama's plan" (which is what, exactly?) by a 50-45 percent margin. But the good news ends there:
The results indicate a generational divide.
"Obama's plan is most popular among younger Americans and least popular among senior citizens," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "A majority of Americans over the age of 50 oppose Obama's plan; a majority of those under 50 support it."
[. . .]
The poll indicates that only three in 10 of all Americans think the president's health care proposals will help their families. Another 44 percent feel they won't benefit but that other families will be helped by the president's plans, and one in five say no one will be helped.
"Less than a quarter of Americans with private health insurance think that Obama's proposals would help them personally. Most people on Medicare and Medicaid also don't think that the Obama plan will help them," says Holland.
Moreover, the intensity is clearly with the critics. A third of the respondents very strongly oppose ObamaCare, while 23 percent strongly favor it. Half of those who oppose ObamaCare say they plan on going to a town hall, while only 37 percent of supporters of ObamaCare plan on going.
The poll numbers are borne out by what we have already seen at the town halls. There are lots of skeptical people, and those who care enough to turn out at town halls are especially skeptical and hostile toward a government takeover of their health care. Rather than insulting the voters or spying on them, maybe the White House should try responding to their concerns.

The ex-Beatle's demos and early takes from "All Things Must Pass" offer a stripped-down alternative to the Phil Spector treatment they got in 1970
Back in 2003, the surviving Beatles authorized the release of "Let It Be … Naked," an album of remixes that stripped away the most outlandish production flourishes producer Phil Spector had added to the original "Let It Be" album in 1970.
In a way, the new George Harrison release "Early Takes, Volume 1" does the same thing for the former Beatle's Spector-produced 1970 solo debut, "All Things Must Pass," as, among other selections, it offers up six songs from that landmark effort in completely unvarnished form. All things must pass — even Spector's Wall of Sound, right?
There are differences between "Early Takes" and "Let It Be… Naked," of course. The 10 tracks here are all demos or early takes of songs that were re-recorded later, not stripped-down mixes of the release versions. Also, Spector's mammoth production on "All Things Must Pass" was actually welcomed and acclaimed, unlike the arguable hostile takeover he did on "Let It Be."
Still, even if these classic songs didn't require reclamation, getting alternate, equally valid versions of a significant chunk of the most highly regarded Beatles solo effort ever is a gift no Harrison fan should pass up.
The most revelatory number is "Awaiting On You All," an upbeat, Krishna-conscious number that, in Spector's hands, became as big and blissfully poppy as anything he'd ever produced for the Crystals or Ronettes. But in the version on "Early Takes," we learn that Harrison first conceived of his spiritual as an electric guitar-driven power-trio number, of all the equally unlikely things.
Harrison's acoustic guitar is the focus on rough solo or full-band versions of classics like "My Sweet Lord." An otherwise unadorned "Behind That Sweet Door" is happily interrupted by a sublime steel guitar part. As for "All Things Must Pass" itself, you could argue that this unaccessorized band version — which would fit right in with the Americana music of 2012 — is sweeter than and maybe ultimately superior to the blown-up, more self-consciously mystical Spector version.
Four "Early" songs that didn't make it onto "All Things" will be of particular interest to fans. Harrison covers Bob Dylan's "Mama You've Been on My Mind" and the Everly Brothers' "Let It Be Me," as well as blueprinting his own "The Light That Has Lighted the World" and the wonderfully bluesy "Woman, Don't You Cry for Me," tunes that didn't show up on Harrison albums until later in the '70s, and then in inferior form to the simple renditions you hear here.
If there's anything to complain about in this otherwise essential collection, it's the lack of musician credits or context in the liner notes for these unreleased gems — and maybe, at a mere 30 minutes, the brevity, given the presumed wealth of material that's being held back for a "Volume 2."
Perhaps you read the news recently about a freshly unearthed guitar solo Harrison recorded for "Here Comes the Sun," but don't go looking for that (or any other Beatles material) here. You can find that in the bonus features of this week's simultaneously released "Living in the Material World" DVD and Blu-Ray, in an outtake where George Martin, Giles Martin, and Dhani Harrison sit at a mixing board and play with the multi-tracks for "Sun" at random.
The three of them talk over the heralded solo, so don't get hopes up for any kind of pristine remix. But for hardcore Beatlemaniacs (and you know who you are), that two-and-a-half-minute scene is worth the DVD's price of admission.

One of my favorite foods is cabbage because it's super versatile, has hardly any calories, is free of wheat and gluten, is great for digestion, and is beautiful in color (purple and green). It tastes awesome in salads, gives us valuable probiotics as pickled sauerkraut, plus it works perfectly as a "shell" to be stuffed with yummy fillings to make a delicious hand held treat. I'm currently reintroducing heart-healthy fats into my diet from flax and chia seeds (omega-3), some nuts (vitamin E and antioxidants), and olives to keep my skin supple and moist, especially now that autumn is upon us. I picked up a bunch of avocados at the Farmers' Market, but am disappointed they didn't make it into my bag!
Today, I filled up a red cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Watch our "How to Chiffonade" video I shot for Vegetarian Times Magazine: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/video/10). Please watch on the Vegetarian Times website to help generate viewer numbers. Thank you!
I'm also embedding it below from my own YouTube channel:
I first filled up my purple cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Next, I layered on a Black Olive Tapenade, from Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, page 155, and Candied Onions, inspired by my Buckwheat-Battered "Fried" Onion Rings, from page 116 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials, plus I added maple syrup to sweeten the onions. I then topped it all with artichoke hearts, and would have added avocado, if I had some on hand.
Black Olive Tapenade
Place all ingredients into food processor, mix well.
Will keep for a week or longer stored in fridge.
Candied Onions
Place all ingredients into mixing bowl. Set aside to marinate and wilt for at least 10 minutes. Add syrup to your liking. I choose to make this sweet! Squeeze excess liquid before using.
Will keep for several days in fridge.
This recipe offers another great way to enjoy greens, and boy do I love dehydrated salad! As a matter of fact, that was exactly how I first discovered Kale Chips, back in Portland, OR, in 1995 or so. After a big catering gig, I had so much marinated kale salad remaining, it would have been a shame to throw it out. Usually, I feed leftovers to Kanga, my pooch, but too much kale's been known to make her poot (stinky!). Instead, I put all the salad into my dehydrators, and was stoked by what I found the next morning! Kale Chips!! It makes me happy to see Kale Chips have gone mainstream today. Finally, a healthy snack enjoyed by the masses!
The texture of these chocolate coated collard leaves is much like the texture of dried cashew cheddar, from my traditional Kale Chips on page 110 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials. (Signed copies of Ani's Raw Food Essentials are available at GoSuperLife.com). Delicate mouth feel, and amazing flavors.
Thanks to everyone for being patient with me, waiting for me to post this recipe after I've completed my next book! Enjoy xo
Chocolate Collards
In high-speed blender, blend all ingredients (except collards) until smooth.
Place collard half leaves into a large bowl, pour chocolate sauce over leaves. Coat each leaf completely.
Place leaves in dehydrator at 104 degrees. Dehydrate for 4 to 6 hours, until dry.
I gave my digestion a break today by skipping solid food and drank Energy Soup (inspired by Ann Wigmore) all day. So, I decided to feed my hair instead with an Indian Head Massage.
Our climate's dry here in Los Angeles (a dessert), and the sun's been bright this summer, reeking havoc on my locks. My hair felt dry and my ends brittle. So, I took my bottle of organic, extra-virgin, cold pressed olive oil into the bathroom, and poured a heaping tablespoon into the palm of my hand. I massaged the oil into my scalp and hair, and worked it through to the ends. Note to self: next time, pour the oil directly onto scalp…I have a lot of hair.
Our skin is our largest organ, and you know I like to avoid putting things on my skin that I can't drink since it absorbs into my blood stream. Well, did you know our scalp is one of the most absorbent areas of our skin? Mine drank up more than a 1/4 cup of olive oil, and was happy for the increased blood flow and circulation from the massage.
I first discovered this massage, also known as Indian Head Massage, at a spa in Portland, OR. It alleviates stress and tension, increases blood flow and circulation, and promotes hair growth. Supposedly, this treatment done in the evening before bed helps alleviate sleeping issues, so I'm hoping it will cure the insomnia I've been suffering from all week long.
Choose almond, coconut, sesame, and/or olive oil since they moisturize, condition our hair, stimulate hair growth, and have a neutral scent. After your massage, wash your hair, and dry. I always choose to air dry.
Try this trick:
My introduction to Sarasota RAWked! Exploring my idea that creating something together with other people in our raw community, rather than going it alone, is more fun, plus makes a bigger splash. We produced and threw down a pumping RAWktail Party, it was the biggest and most successful raw event in Florida to date! Dress code was RAWkstar, of course. A wonderful event and a very warm welcome to Florida and Sarasota.
A RAWstar RAWktail Party isn't complete without headshots. Is that too cheezy?….
We brought together a fun crowd of local hipsters, movers, and shakers. Raw foods help us feel great, look our best, and fuel up for a long night of celebration. Raw food is also great for recovery, detox, and combating damage after a night of partying too hard and not sleeping enough.
The event was held at the Weller Historic Estate, and it was filled with rich period furniture and wonderful styling details. The host Jeff Weller is below in the white button down and jeans. I was to discover later that Jeff gives great massages!
The Weller Historic Estate was at full capacity with well over 120 attendees, and the energy was contagious.
I demoed 4 recipes, which follow below, while people stood around a 20 foot long table to watch and learn how to make fast, easy, delicious raw food treats. Below is Bryant Meyers, to the right, an ingredient sponsor who's home is packed full of cutting edge healing therapy machines like an infrared sauna and scalar wave technology. I was skeptical at first, but the scalar waves made me pass out and sleep restfully the following day. Now I'm a believer.
Above is the spread for our Taco Wraps, served in a cabbage leaf. With raw food, it's easy to have our 'kitchen' anywhere, even in the living room.
Lisa Tomasi, in pink, runs the Naples raw food meet up group. She saved the day and was the best assistant I've ever had! A testament for raw foods, Lisa drove over 2 hours to come to the event, worked all night, drove home, then came back the next day again. An enegizer bunny and beautiful woman.
The man in black above is Vincent Dessberg, who has a roof top garden on a warehouse in the industrial area of town, called "I Grow My Own Veggies". He sponsored cabbage, edible flowers, herbs, and strawberries. I harvested from Vincent's garden just a few hours before the party. It was amazing to see so much food growing on top of an industrial warehouse!
Now, for my recipes. Enjoy!

Wild rice is actually a grass, not a grain. It's an aquatic seed that's found mostly in the upper fresh water lakes of Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in North America. It's a great source of protein, minerals, B vitamins, folic acid, and carbohydrates. I enjoyed wild rice the other morning to help fuel my cardio workout later that day.
I like to soak wild rice in at least double the amount of water for 2 or more days. Rinse and change soak water at least 2 to 3 times each day. Soaked wild rice will never get as soft as when it's cooked, but that's what I love about it. It has a chewy, hearty mouth feel that's really satisfying, especially when my body's craving some complex carbs.
This simple, quick, delicious recipe is made with just a handful of ingredients. Personally, I leave out the oil and salt. But it will bump up the flavor profile if you choose to add it in.
Sprouted Wild Rice with Corn and Tomato
Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Toss to mix well.
Will keep for 3 days in fridge.
Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables, and it was abundant at the farmers' market today. So, I picked up a big, beautiful head to whip up my mash for dinner. Cauliflower comes in white, green, and purple varieties, and works wonderfully processed into a mash. This is my version of mashed potatoes. Cauliflower has a kick to it, which I love. But if it's too strong for you, try the following trick:
To soften the kick of raw cauliflower, process on it's own first with 1 cup of filtered water. Strain through a cheese cloth or nut milk bag. Some of the pungent flavor will run off with the water. Or, you can also substitute with broccoli, which is much milder.
Serve with a gravy on it's own, or alongside your favorite recipe(s).
Cauliflower Mash
To keep your mash lighter in color, you can use white miso paste. I used a red paste, and it was still light in color. I added a touch of olive oil, but for even more creaminess, I use avocado. Avocado creates spots of slight green, which I don't mind, since I love the color green. Besides, the gravy will cover it up anyways.
I used to use Psyllium Seed Husk powder in this recipe, but this batch didn't seem to need any stiffening up, so I skipped it. If your mash is too runny, add a teaspoon at at a time, up to a tablespoon, of Psyllium to thicken.
Place all ingredients into your food processor. Process until smooth.
Mushroom Gravy
A rich and creamy gravy that's easy-to-make in your blender.
Place all ingredients into your blender. Blend smooth.
Here's a sneak peak into one of my favorite recipes from my new book, Ani's Raw Food Essentials (available June 1st). We shot this recipe last Thursday for TV, cable, and web.
I've been craving raw Tomato Chili the past few days, so I made sure to pick up some beautiful tomatoes, bell pepper, and fresh oregano at the farmers' market. When I went to make this last night, I realized I had run out of chili powder, so I used chipotle powder instead. It turned out spicy hot. To help cool it down, I made a batch of raw Taco Nut Meat, which helped a bit, but not enough. So then I added some Cashew Sour Kream, and that helped. It was delicious, and energized me to write late into the night.
This recipes is simple and quick to make. I enjoy the mediation of chopping with my knife. But you can also just place ingredients into your food processor and let it do the chopping for you for an even shorter prep time.
Tomato Chili with Taco Nut Meat
Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl, toss to mix well.
Place half of your mixture into your food processor or blender and puree. Scoop back into bowl with mixture and toss to mix well.
Place all ingredients into your food processor, and process into small pieces.
To serve, scoop raw Tomato Chili into bowls. Top with Taco Nut Meat. Enjoy.
Tomato Chili will keep for 1-2 days in fridge. Taco Nut Meat will keep for a week or more.
Two of my recipes are included in the 2009 Food & Wine Cookbook.
I love this recipe for Zucchini Noodles with Raw Tomato Marinara. Super easy to make. Just blend tomatoes and herbs with some lemon to add that tart flavor of cooked tomatoes and a date for added sweetness. Serve marinara over thinly sliced zucchini 'noodles' for a wheat free, low calorie, raw food pasta dish that will help you loose weight and feel great too.
This delicious Raw Sweet Corn and Cashew Chowder is made by blending fresh corn with cashews for creaminess, a splash of olive oil for rich smoothness, and fresh cilantro for brightness.

Technical report Frank / Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, Fachbereich Informatik und Mathematik, Institut für Informatik
- 47
- On conservativity of concurrent Haskell (2011)
- The calculus CHF models Concurrent Haskell extended by concurrent, implicit futures. It is a process calculus with concurrent threads, monadic concurrent evaluation, and includes a pure functional lambda-calculus which comprises data constructors, case-expressions, letrec-expressions, and Haskell's seq. Futures can be implemented in Concurrent Haskell using the primitive unsafeInterleaveIO, which is available in most implementations of Haskell. Our main result is conservativity of CHF, that is, all equivalences of pure functional expressions are also valid in CHF. This implies that compiler optimizations and transformations from pure Haskell remain valid in Concurrent Haskell even if it is extended by futures. We also show that this is no longer valid if Concurrent Haskell is extended by the arbitrary use of unsafeInterleaveIO.

In October 2007, Sam Wasson and a group of Loyola Marymount University theater arts majors traveled to Laramie, Wyoming, to prepare for a production of "The Laramie Project." Tragically, the students were involved in a major car accident on the way home and Wasson was killed. To commemorate his life, the Department of Theatre Arts created the Sam Wasson Scholarship.
"Wasson made an impact on the lives that he touched. He made a difference in everybody's life. He was a hard worker and a joy to be around," said Jason Sheppard, theater arts faculty member and Wasson's former work-study supervisor.
The scholarship will go to a student who excels in both the performance and the technical sides of theater because Wasson was active in both areas. Devin Kasper, a junior theater arts major, was the first recipient and received the $2,000 award at a ceremony on the Foley Patio in May. Kasper remembers Wasson fondly.
"Sam was extremely outgoing and went out of his way to make people feel at home. He was the first person to open up to me at LMU," Kasper said. "I can only hope that people will see me as someone who is as hardworking as Sam was, and that I can brighten their day and make them smile the way he did."
A letter from Wasson's mother that was read at the ceremony said: "The reason we remember Sam with this scholarship is not only for his talent but his love for the craft and love for those for whom he worked. … Know that whenever the lights go up, the brightest light shining to spotlight your talent is the light that Sam left behind. He is saying to you, 'Break-a-leg dude. You're the best!' "
Faculty members and students raised money for the scholarship through fundraisers and by asking for contributions after LMU productions. This will be the second scholarship that the theater department will offer; the Virginia Barnelle Scholarship goes to a senior who has demonstrated superior academic achievement, outstanding service to the program and the university, and in recognition of excellence in theater arts.
Sheppard hopes that the Wasson award will become an endowed scholarship.
"The scholarship developed out of an idea to commemorate Sam's life. He would have wanted everyone to come together and celebrate his life through something he liked, instead of mourning," Sheppard said.

NORTH HUDSON — Three weeks after the Essex County Board of Supervisors moved to reject a local businessman's bid for the former Frontier Town property, a once-popular theme park off the Northway, the stakes have been raised, counter offers have been made and legal teams are bracing for a fight.
At the county tax auction on April 30, Keeseville resident George Moore offered a bid of $49,500 for a cluster of four parcels adjacent to the property he already owns, a structure known as the A-Frame that he purchased at a previous sale.
But at a lawmaker meeting in Elizabethtown on May 12 to accept or deny each of the bids — altogether, 139 bidders bid on 150 total parcels — the board of supervisors moved to reject Moore's bid in favor of a higher offer from the town of North Hudson, who offered $60,000 at the meeting (but did not, like Moore, attend the auction and engage in the bidding process).
His was the only bid that was outright rejected by the lawmakers.
North Hudson town supervisor Ronald Moore (no relation to George) told lawmakers at the meeting that discussions with county officials prior to the auction stipulated that the parcels would only be sold if the buyer met the $146,379.88 owed in back taxes, a condition that was singularly applied to these parcels, which span 88 acres and have a market value of $568,900.
Now, Moore is offering $65,000.
"I'm 87 and I've been to a lot of auctions of all kinds," Moore told the Valley News in a phone interview. "I've bought a lot of property over the years and I never saw one handled this way."
Moore's attorney, William Russell, confirmed that a counter offer was sent to County Attorney Dan Manning's office and told the Valley News he was "very disappointed" in the board's decision and that his client would rather resolve the issue "in a practical way" than through the courts.

About the Instructor
Levent Erbora has a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Miami. He worked as an Electronics Engineer at Motorola, Inc. for almost a decade, during which time he was awarded two U.S. Patents, and completed several credits towards an MBA Degree at FIU. He resigned from Motorola in 1997 to pursue other interests, actively trading the financial markets being among them.
Levent is also very passionate about teaching, an occupation he truly likes and enjoys. He has an extensive teaching background, having taught a number of engineering, electronics, and computer classes as an adjunct faculty at University of Miami, Miami Dade College and some other institutions of higher learning. More recently, for the last 6 years and counting, he has been teaching and tutoring test prep courses for SAT, GRE and GMAT, and has helped many hundreds of students to significantly improve their scores, reach their goals and fulfill their dreams.
Levent is very fond of emphasizing the fact that GMAT is a standardized test, and as such, it must maintain fairness and consistency every single time it is administered anywhere in the world. Consequently, the test maker has no choice but to test the same handful of concepts in the same limited number of ways, over and over again. Once a student becomes familiar with these recurring themes and patterns, the whole mystery and intimidation associated with the test disappears, and reaching any target score or beyond becomes just a matter of diligent preparation and rigorous practice.
The GMAT prep classes Levent teaches are nothing like your run-of-the-mill, long-winded and, at times, boring college classes. They are more like lively and interactive "training sessions" where the lecturing is kept to a minimum. He likes to be considered as your "coach", rather than your "professor". It is important to realize that the GMAT is not actually testing your proficiency in formal, advanced or complicated math, or your familiarity with the quirks of the English language, let alone your mastery of linguistics. The test is all about assessing your skills in strategic thinking, critical reasoning, attention to detail and creative problem solving; "street-smart" ways of coming up with solutions, if you will, rather than the formal approaches. These are the core skills that are rewarded throughout the test; the very same skills that will be focused on and reinforced throughout the course.
In this course, you will be introduced to each and every type of question you will face on GMAT, learn the strategic approaches they each require, and the most effective and efficient ways of handling them. You will start to use the format of the questions to your advantage. There will be a full math review, but only for those topics that appear on the test, and then, only for their particular aspects that are required for the mastery of the Quantitative Section; nothing more, nothing less. The GMAT math is basically high school level or below but, then again, the test maker has ways of coming up with fairly challenging questions using even those basic concepts. You will see that even the wrong answer choices are there, most of the time, for a reason, representing common mistakes, pitfalls and oversights. By recognizing and identifying these common trap answers, you will be able to eliminate them right away and improve your odds even when you are guessing at an answer. You will also be given many tips, tricks and techniques to handle the additional challenges brought about by the computerized format of the test, and more importantly, the race against time.
All in all, with this comprehensive preparation and focused guidance you will receive in the classroom, combined with diligent study and rigorous practice on your part, the GMAT will turn out to be only a minor hurdle that will easily be overcome on your way to a bright and prosperous future. And that is what keeps Levent motivated all along and rewards him the most.

Mike Tyson Speaks On 'The Day I Found Brad Pitt In Bed With My Wife'
Mike Tyson has revealed how he found his wife in bed with Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt – and how he 'was mad as hell' at the discovery.
Mike Tyson said although he was divorcing actress Robin Givens he used to go round her home daily for sex before visiting his lawyer and denouncing her 'as a pig' who stole his money.
In what former boxer Tyson described as a 'love triangle with Pitt' the Hangover star told US chat show In Depth With Graham Bensinger he was 'mad as hell', before adding: 'You should have saw his face when he saw me.'
Givens and Tyson had a famously short-lived marriage in the 1980s that was marked by violence.
When the pair married in 1988 Tyson was estimated to be worth $50 million.
She filed for divorce three months later alleging spousal abuse and was reported to have received a divorce settlement of over $10million.
A Harvard graduate, many believed Givens had set out to take Tyson's money. She had previously dated Eddie Murphy and Brad Pitt.
The athlete told Bensinger: 'I was doing a divorce but every day, before I would go to my lawyer's office to say, "She's a pig and stealing," I would go to her house to have sex with her.'

Changes in council tax payments to 'ease the burden' for Bideford and Torridge residents
Posted: January 08, 2013|
Council tax payers in Bideford and throughout the Torridge area will have the right to pay by 12 monthly instalments from April 1st, 2013 instead of the normal ten, following changes introduced by Torridge District Council.
Residents can also opt to pay on the 7th, 21st or 28th of each month now, as well as the two dates currently offered which are the 1st and 15th.
Deputy leader of the council Roger Johnson said, 'With the changes being forced upon us from April where everyone of working age will have to pay a minimum of 25% of their council tax, I hope the measures being introduced will help ease the council tax burden for those households affected. But anyone can take advantage of these 12 monthly payments now and you can change the date you pay to suit your own personal budget. Just let us know.'
A number of other changes to council tax are also being introduced, after the Community and Resources Committee approved the following proposals:
•Empty and unfurnished properties that require or are undergoing structural or major repairs –100% discount for first 12 months and 0% discount thereafter
•Empty and unfurnished properties, including new properties –100% discount for the first 3 months and 0% discount thereafter
•Long Term Empty Properties (empty and unoccupied more than 2 years) – the maximum Empty Homes premium of 150% will be applied
•Second Homes – 0% discount awarded
To change the way you pay your council tax, please contact the Council Tax team at Torridge on 01237 428900 or email: email@example.com

Elizabeth City, N.C. – A homeless shelter for women and children will be closing its doors at the end of the month after 4 years in the community.
The Garden of Hope House, located on Herrington Rd., no longer has enough funding to remain open.
It's heartbreaking for the women who use the shelter.
"My world just fell apart when I heard the news," said Lisa Bunch, who is currently living at the shelter.
Bunch has lived at the Garden of Hope House for the past year after a serious medical condition left her unable to work.
"I had this infection in my leg from some type of bug bite, and it just kept spreading and spreading, and they couldn't figure out what was wrong," said Bunch, "I lost my job, lost my income and lost my place to stay, so I was left with nothing."
The shelter has given her a home while she's healed, and now that she can walk again, she's starting to look for work.
But until she has a steady income, she doesn't know where she'll go now that the shelter is closing up.
And she's not the only one.
"I get a lot of calls and sometimes they are heart-wrenching," said Gloria Holmes, Resident Manager. "For those that don't have an income, what are they going to do?"
Holmes is still hoping something can be done to save the shelter. She says they've reached out to another organization in the hopes that they can take on this shelter.
In the meantime, the residents are taking it one day at a time and holding out hope that the shelter can find a way to stay open.
"I said [to the residents], 'Don't worry about it. Things are going to be okay. We're just going to have to put it in the Lord's hands and let Him take care of it,'" said Holmes.

Korean pop star Psy is enjoying viral fame on an unprecedented scale right now. His infectious video for "Gangnam Style" is getting 15 million hits per day and will likely pass 300 million views sometime this week. According to Starcount, a firm that tracks social media, "Gangnam Style" is now the the most "liked" video ever on YouTube and Psy is the most viewed musician on YouTube this month beating out Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Jennifer Lopez.
Psy (Park Jae-sang) has even been signed by high-profile manager Scooter Braun who is credited with discovering another online video sensation, Justin Bieber. My colleague Zack O'Malley Greenburg profiled Braun for our most recent Celebrity 100 issue. In addition to Bieber, Braun can take credit for Carley Rae Jepsen (she of the summer ear worm "Call Me Maybe") and The Wanted.
Psy, 34, has spent the last week on a whirlwind U.S. media tour appearing with a flash mob on Extra, performing on the Today Show and teaching Britney Spears how to dance Gangnam Style on The Ellen Show.
There's no question America has Psy fever but will it be enough to turn the Korean rapper into an international pop star? YouTube is littered with one-hit-wonders that caught fire but burned out just as quickly. Just look at Rebecca Black. Her "Friday" video got 30 million views on YouTube and for a moment, she was everywhere. Now, she's hopefully back in school and living a more normal teenage life.
To be fair, Black earned so much attention because her song was horrible and the video was possibly even worse. Psy has obvious talent and appeal and people are actually buying his single which is No. 1 on the iTunes charts.
But viral video fame isn't the same as being a big pop star, especially when it comes to earnings. Despite his millions of YouTube views, the star likely won't get rich off of the video. Lori Landew, an entertainment lawyer at Fox Rothschild in Philadelphia say that Psy's label is likely getting any money coming from YouTube and will likely eventually pass some of that on to the artist. The star has told the Korean press that he has yet to see any money from his massive success.
The real money for Psy is going to come from things like touring, record sales and endorsement deals. The song is so popular right now that Landew believes companies will want to use it to sell products.
"You're going to see this song popping up everywhere in television and film," says Landew, "anyone that wants to capture this pop culture moment." A K-pop themed Glee must already be in the works.
For Psy to have real staying power though, he's going to have to transcend the K-pop movement and churn out some really great pop songs in English. During his recent press interviews, Psy spoke English but he seemed a little ill at ease. It's not clear if that's just his off-screen personality or if the language barrier was tripping him up.
I don't think we'll see Psy on our Celebrity 100 list in 2013. But if Braun can help him churn out some more pop hits (in English) and if he can come up with some more cool dance moves and another great video, he might just make it.

Jeff Black's 14th Street restaurant: Still no agreement
- The future home of Pearl Dive Oyster Palace & BlackJack. (Photo: TBD Staff)
The group of Logan Circle residents who are protesting Jeff Black's plans to come to 14th Street have at this point managed to wrest a couple of key concessions from the famed local restaurateur. But one or two sticking points still remain, and with a Jan. 19 protest hearing looming, the question now is whether Black might just decide to take his chances with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
According to a representative for Black Restaurant Group, Black has in recent weeks agreed to drop his plans to install a small smoking deck in the rear of the planned seafood restaurant and lounge, dubbed Pearl Dive Oyster Palace and BlackJack. He's also consented to abide by the same operating hours as nearby ChurchKey, which closes at 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
The rear deck and the operating hours have been the main points of contention from the beginning for the local Advisory Neighborhood Commission and the 33 individual protestants [FULL DISCLOSURE: TBD Editor Erik Wemple's wife is one of them] in this case. So you might be thinking, well heck, sounds like we've got a deal. Bring on the oysters! But lo, you'd of course be wrong.
During a discussion of the negotiation process at Wednesday night's ANC 2F meeting, Chairman Charles Reed said he was still hoping to get some sort of agreement from Black on paper (not a formal voluntary agreement, more like an informal letter of intent), along with a promise that he wouldn't seek to make any changes to his license for at least three years. But Black rep Andrew Kline fired back that his client "resents the implication" that he can't be trusted to keep his word. "He'd like to get it resolved. But otherwise, we'll go to hearing," Kline said.
The underlying threat there was fairly clear: Given the current makeup of the ABC Board, the odds are actually in favor of Black being granted full operating hours (to 2 a.m. on weekdays and 3 a.m. on weekends), and probably about even that he'd get permission to keep the rear deck. But word is that in addition to the ANC's demands, the individual protestants, represented by Attorney Andrea Ferster, are separately demanding that Black sign some kind of document promising to give them advanced notice should he ever decide to change the terms of his license. Based on Kline's comments Wednesday, it would seem that Black has had about enough of demands of this kind.
So the heat is now really on for Reed and Ferster, who must quickly decide whether they can live without having something on paper from Black, or if they want to risk losing everything they've gained in the mediation process by taking the matter all the way to a protest hearing. And if ABC Board Chairman Charles Brodsky's comments at a December status hearing ("What's the problem here?" he asked the protestants) is any indication, they might be wise to take what they've got and call it a day.

There are roughly 150 million adults around the world that want to become Americans according to Gallup.
I think this is worth pointing out, because the annual Social Security Trust Fund report should be released today. As a result there will likely be much hyperventilating about how the Social Security trust fund is projected to run out of money in roughly 25 years, even though continuing payroll taxes would still be able to fund a high level of Social Security payments given current assumptions.
While the Administrators try hard to make their projections accurate, any very long term projections are inherently going to be somewhat unreliable. Trying to guess how many working Americans there will be and their average incomes in the year 2030 is basically impossible.
While current demographic trends point in one direction, it is completely possible that at some time in the next decade we could adopt policies that would increase the number of working Americans — and the collection of payroll taxes to support Social Security — well above current assumptions.
For example given the huge international pool of people who want to become Americans, even modest changes in our immigration policy spread over multiple years could grow our working population and add many years of solvency to the Social Security trust fund. The country could also adopt policies that affect birth rates, like mandatory paternity leave. We could adopt criminal justice reforms that result in significantly less American adults in prison and more of them working. New governments policies or economic conditions could even reduce income inequality and increase on average how much each worker contributes to Social Security. We could even pursue full employment policies. These policies would likely be adopted for reasons completely unrelated to Social Security, but they could still significantly impact it.
Almost all the talk about the Social Security report will probably be about how we need to cut benefits or change the retirement age, or to a lesser extent how we need to raise taxes to prevent an issue that might possibly emerge in 25 years. The reality though is that we shouldn't put much stock in long term projections that are inherently inaccurate. Any future issue affecting Social Security could also be addressed by adopting polices that simply increase wages or the number of young working Americans who pay payroll taxes.

Although the overall number of licensed hunters in the United State has been on a steady decline, from over 14.1 million participants in 1996 to less than 12.5 million today, there has been one promising trend with the potential to save the shooting sports industry.
Currently, the fastest growing demographic in the industry are women, who currently account for about 15 percent of the shooting, hunting, and firearms marketplace.
According to a survey conducted by the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA), women's participation in hunting has increased by over 75 percent is just the last five years. It is estimated 3 million women currently hunt, and as many as 5 million regularly shoot. Hunting and shooting are not gender specific sports, and it appears Barbie may soon replace Bubba in the both field, and at the range.
As the overall number of licensed hunters in the United States has dropped steadily, from 14.1 million in 1996 to 12.5 million today, women have become the fastest growing demographic in the industry. Overall women's hunting has jumped by 75 percent.
According to researchers, there are 72 percent more women hunting with firearms today than just five years ago. Additionally, there are 50 percent more women regularly participating in target shooting, up from 1.8 million to 3.6 million during the same time span.
Data also indicates women outpace men among net newcomers to target shooting with a rifle, where female participation has grown by 4.1 percent. However hunting with a rifle remains primarily a male pursuit, where men still outnumber women 9 to 1.
In 2011, a Gallup Poll revealed that nearly one quarter of all current gun owners are female. Women now account for nearly 15 percent of the shooting, hunting, and firearms marketplace. Female participation in target shooting increased about 50 percent or from 3.3 million to 5 million nationally from 2001 to 2011, and female participation in hunting increased from 1.8 million to 2.6 million during the same time span.

The Fighting Commodores: The Convoy Commanders in the Second World War
So much has been written about the great land campaigns of the Second World War that it is easy to forget, if indeed many people today are even aware of the fact, that the nearest Great Britain came to defeat had nothing whatsoever to do with either the British Army or the Royal Air Force. The country was simply on the verge of running out of supplies. The task of seeing that the merchant ships which carried the vital supplies reached their destinations fell largely on the shoulders of the Convoy Commanders, who were mostly senior but retired Naval officers who had volunteered to return to duty and it is their story which Alan Burn, who sailed on many such convoys, tells in this book.

Casa De Mi Padre stars Will Ferrell as Armando Alvarez who lives on his father's ranch in Mexico. The ranch encounters difficulties when it comes to its finances. He will be faced with a difficult situation to keep the ranch alive. Casa De Mi Padre, a comedy film hit the big theaters last March 16th 2012. Let's take a look at how this movie was received by movie critic, Eric D. Snider:
Will Ferrell In The Comedy Film: Case De Mi Padre
"After bracing myself for Casa de Mi Padre to be a significant departure for Will Ferrell, and after the deliberately Tarantino-esque opening title sequence had me intrigued about the possibilities of this Spanish-language exercise, I was surprised to find myself noting that the first few scenes were very Ferrell-y indeed. Perhaps we were starting out in the usual vein in order to ease us in to something completely different?
As it turns out: not completely different, no. Casa de Mi Padre is a unique Ferrell outing in that it's entirely in subtitled Spanish and has a distinct aesthetic style, being a parody of the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez school of faux-grindhouse cheesiness and cheap Mexican dramas. But under that veneer are all the hallmarks of a Ferrell adventure: absurdism, earnest silliness, humor that's weird but not quite Tim-and-Eric levels of weirdness, and whole-heartedly committed performances.
Ferrell conceived the idea and developed it with screenwriter Andrew Steele and director Matt Piedmont, both collaborators from his Saturday Night Live days and the ongoing Funny Or Die web venture. The story is about an old Mexican rancher, Miguel Ernesto (Pedro Armendariz Jr.), and his two sons, Armando (Ferrell) and Raul (Diego Luna). While the loyal but incompetent Armando has stayed home to work the land, Raul has been out running the family business, in the process joining forces with drug kingpins. He returns to the ranch to the great joy of his father — "You're the son I always loved!" Miguel Ernesto cries, right in front of Armando — and brings with him his beautiful fiancee, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez).
But Sonia is dangerous, and not just because of her beauty. She has ties to another drug cartel, headed by a ruthless character called the Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal), which could spell trouble for Raul. Because we recognize the basic formula being employed here, we know what to expect: greedy Raul will fall, honest Armando will have to find his courage and save the family, and lovely Sonia will come between them.
Contrary to what you might expect, this isn't a one-joke film. Only rarely is the fact that Will Ferrell is speaking Spanish meant to be funny. It's more like a long-form spoof, with a basic story serving as the framework for general goofiness. There are Anchorman-ish bits like Armando and his ranchero friends Esteban (Efren Ramirez) and Manuel (Adrian Marinez) enjoying a hearty laugh that dissolves into a series of increasingly unenthusiastic chuckles. There's a running gag, at first unaddressed but then finally the subject of a hilarious conversation, about Armando rolling his own cigarettes and not being any good at it. There's a "vision quest" scenario that looks like an acid trip, a comically grotesque sex scene that emphasizes the slapping of butt cheeks, and more than one traditional-sounding musical number."

SKOKIE, Ill.- Research released by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) supports findings from previous air emission studies conducted by government agencies and engineering firms that indicate that tire-derived fuel (TDF) use in cement kilns does not adversely affect the emissions profile of various air pollutants.
The report emphasizes the environmental benefits of using scrap tires as supplemental fuel in the cement manufacturing process.
Tyrone Wilson, Ph.D., director of regulatory affairs for PCA, said, "This study shows that tires, which pound for pound have a greater fuel value than coal, can also help manufacturers recycle tires without adversely affecting emissions. The nearly 300 million used tires generated by the United States each year can create an environmental nuisance and eyesore. By simply disposing of these tires in landfills or junkyards, society misses an important recycling opportunity: the chance to recover energy and conserve fossil fuel resources,"
The study, conducted by Air Control Techniques, P.C., is based on emission data collected by PCA from 31 cement plants presently firing TDF. The emissions of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, most metals, dioxin-furans, and sulfur dioxide from kilns firing TDF with conventional fuels were slightly lower than emissions measured from kilns firing only conventional fuels.
The emission levels for carbon monoxide and total hydrocarbons were slightly higher for TDF-firing versus non-TDF firing kilns. None of these differences in emissions were significantly different.
Additionally, cement plants using TDF reduce the amount of coal burned. For each ton of TDF used, the plant reduces the need to use 1.25 tons of coal. This means that less carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced.
Portland cement kilns are especially well-suited for the safe and efficient consumption of the millions of used tires generated each year. Wilson said, "The intense heat of the cement kiln ensures complete destruction of the tires. Because the fire is contained within the kiln under intense heat, there are no visible emissions from the tires such as the heavy black smoke seen in an open-air tire fire."
About PCABased in Skokie, Ill., the Portland Cement Association represents cement companies in the United States and Canada. It conducts market development, engineering, research, education, and public affairs programs. More information on PCA programs is available at www.cement.org.

What a Peach: Unheralded Brit Completes Improbable Run at World Championship
by Mason King Nov 11, 2007, 10:24 PM EST
MANILA, Philippines – For Daryl Peach, slow and steady won the race-to-17 and the $100,000.
Facing a flashier opponent in the biggest final of his life, Peach handled the pressure better, played better safeties and made the shots when they counted to win the 2007 World Pool Championship on Sunday evening at Araneta Coliseum.
"To be honest, it hasn't really sunk in yet," the always-composed Peach said after his 17-15 victory over Roberto Gomez of the Philippines. "The pressure was just unbelievable."
Neither player was even on the radar at the start of the nine-day WPC. The 29-year-old Gomez was the first qualifier to ever reach the final, and although 35-year-old Peach had been playing the event steadily for almost a decade, he never before came close to the final.
Peach was the underdog to crowd-favorite Gomez, who had been annihilating opponents with his aggressive play and a creative shotmaking. But the crowd got a different Gomez for the final – a player who felt the hopes of a nation on his shoulders with all their cheering and chanting.
"The crowd thinks they're supporting me, but actually they added pressure," Gomez said later.
Gomez couldn't find the speed of the table until the middle of the match, when Peach had taken an 8-3 lead. Peach scratched on his next break, and Gomez was able to string together six racks, appearing to have settled his nerves and regaining control of the cue ball.
The pair traded smartly timed blows in several protracted safety battles until they knotted the score at 12-12, turning the World Championship into a race-to-5. Gomez gained control of the table and stumbled to a 15-12 lead, often shooting himself out of poor position play.
Meanwhile, Peach kept himself together, despite ego-shaking cheers from the Filipino crowd whenever he would make a mistake. He was able to force Gomez into a foul – hitting the blocker ball first on a jump shot – and then went on a deliberately paced, three-game run to knot the score at 15-15 and stifle the crowd.
At this point, Gomez became completely unhinged. In the next game he missed both a 5 ball and an easily makeable, game-winning 9 along the rail. A loose safety spelled his doom in the final rack. Peach nailed a cross-side bank on the 1 ball and then cleaned up for the win as Gomez wept in his chair. Peach shot his arms above his head, and soon was giving long hugs to the handful of fellow Brits in the front row who had rooted him on throughout the match.
"It's unbelievable; it's like a dream," Peach said. "My game plan went out the window. I was just trying to take the shots as they came."
Gomez will take home $40,000 for second place, as well as a heavy heart.
"I was almost there," a disconsolate Gomez said. "This was my big opportunity. I am so depressed."

August 6, 2008 - Blaine Hyska
So the Emmys wasted a good part of your television viewing on Sunday. Thank goodness for Sunday night football. Have you ever noticed how much Hollywood loves itself? There are the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Daytime Emmy Awards, the Academy Awards, MTV Awards, Grammy Awards, etc, etc. The list goes on forever. Of course, they have the red carpet show, the pre-awards show, the backstage show, and post-show party coverage. Does anybody really care? Why do they televise every awards show imaginable? Does it even matter? If you like to watch "World's Wildest Police Videos," for example, are you going to suddenly switch to "Desperate Housewives" because it won an Emmy? Or if you're a fan of "House," are you going to stop watching it because it didn't win an award? The whole thing is utterly silly. All they want is to have their pictures taken with a two-bit trophy. And then they'll complain about the paparazzi following them. Give me a break. Send a message to Hollywood — and the networks. Turn off the award shows, and enjoy the company of your family. That's a real award.
Emmy update: The Sept. 21 Emmy Awards had one of its smallest audiences ever. Hollywood is grasping for answers. They're blaming everything from competiton on other networks, to the weather. If they wanted the truth, all they would have to do is ask viewers. Nielsen ratings seem to confirm that average every-day folks are simply tired of watching over-paid pompous actors telling everyone how great they are. The fact is, most television is simply dreadful, and to watch people getting awards for it is a joke.

Do Work, Kid: Upper Body Aerobic Exerciser
by Chris Weiss
Exercise equipment truly does come in all shapes and sizes. The latest example that I've come across is this Upper Body Exerciser. Fittingly designed to deliver exercise to your upper body, the device includes two spinning discs and two grips. Basically you just hold the grips and spin it around as if you're doing some sort of lame dance--or punching a speed bag. The discs spin freely thanks to Teflon bearings inside.
According to its product description, the exerciser will help you with strength and endurance, and, of course, helps you burn off some of the calories from your donuts-topped-with-bacon breakfast. The device can also be used while reclining to work your abs. A piece of exercise gear that can be used while I'm sitting in a La-Z Boy watching TV? Count me in.
You'll find the Upper Body Aerobic Exerciser at Amazon for $100.

Harvest Blend
By Kathy P on Aug. 1, 2014
Finally it's back! My husband and I enjoy Harvest Blend year round. We didn't order enough to carry us through the summer and it was horrible! No other flavor comes close to satisfying us in the mornings sitting on the patio watching the birds and other wild life as the Harvest Blend does. I am sure others have a favorite blend but ours is Harvest Blend. Whatever your favorite is from Door County, make a pot, sit and enjoy it!
So excellent!
