stuck-not sure tips on how to market lang. asking I started an enterprise teaching English being second language for a company's employees - language that the workers can use to raised meet the wants of customers, similar to in hotels, dining establishments etc. I've delivered letters, with experienced -looking brochures but - nothing. What exactly is just walk in to these places as well as get to speak in the manager or a product? Give a presentation at a market gathering Find out whatever organization the hospitality managers behave like, and offer giving a presentation at undoubtedlyof their meetings. Help it become useful and action-oriented, not only a sales pitch. Create cards, brochures, and coupons (first free with purchase of a number of ten, something prefer that) available. First and foremost, focus on the simplest way your services definitely will benefit THEIR final conclusion. Congrats on starting the organization, and good luck! Or another process is: An industry presentation is a good way to go, but not inside a into public-speaking, and it is not very personable (think on the subject of -to- marketing). Nothing beats face time while using customer/prospect. Besides, it's hard to enable them to say 'no' physiy. Just say you were in your community and wanted to go away info that anyone can schedule a time back, if now it's convenient for many years. I would go straight away to the top - the general manager. S/he would kick it into the HR person or whomever, if interested - thencoming from your boss will give it more body weight. Also, yes, focus a lot on the benefits you provide THESE PRODUCTS (don't sell these folks the soap; offer them on being clean). So mention better customer system, higher employee comfort (from professional expansion or growth, esp. instead of hard benefits like bonuses), less churn and / or turnover, protecting typiy the brand. Also, be sure to articulate or car paint a vivid image of this problem up front side,. "Every employee delivers your brand. As well as asked an employee for an extra towel or water to realize that they don't understand English? Ever surprise then if they might be workers? By showing your non-English-speaking people our language, you'll be able to.... " Finally, be sure your pricing is just common sense. Good luck.

The Secret Life of Beesby Sue Monk Kidd
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"The bees came the summer of 1964, the summer I turned fourteen and my life went spinning off into a whole new orbit, and I mean whole new orbit. Looking back on it now, I want to say the bees were sent to me. I want to say they showed up like the angel Gabriel appearing to the Virgin Mary, setting events in motion I could never have guessed." So begins the story of Lily Melissa Owens, a plucky girl, rich in humor despite heart wrenching circumstances. Living on a peach farm in South Carolina with her harsh, unyielding father, her entire life has been shaped around one devastating, though blurred, memory- the afternoon her mother was killed. Four at the time, she remembers innocently picking up the gun. And, she has her father's eyewitness account of the gun firing. People remind her it was an accident, yet she's inhabited by a torturous guilt. Lily's only real companion is Rosaleen, a tender, but fierce-hearted black woman who cooks, cleans and acts as her "stand-in mother."
South Carolina in 1964 is a place and time of seething racial divides. When violence explodes one summer afternoon, and Rosaleen is arrested and beaten, Lily is desperate, not only to save Rosaleen, but to flee a life she can no longer endure. Calling upon her colorful wits and uncommon daring, she breaks Rosaleen out of jail and the two of them take off, runaway-fugitives conjoined in an escape that quickly turns into Lily's quest for the truth about her mother's life.
Following a trail left ten years earlier, Lily and Rosaleen end up in the home of three bee-keeping sisters. No ordinary women, the sisters revere a Black Madonna and tend a unique brand of female spirituality that reaches back to the time of slavery. As Lily's life becomes deeply entwined with theirs, she is irrevocably altered. In a mesmerizing world of bees and honey, amid the strength and power of wise women, Lily journeys through painful secrets and shattering betrayals, finding her way to the single thing her heart longs for most.

"In this gem of a first novel, Sue Monk Kidd creates a charmed Southern place, a bee farm in Tiburon, S.C., and its eccentric yet endearing inhabitants, the black Boatwright sisters (other wise known as the 'calendar girls' May, June, and August). The main character, Lily Owens, is a fourteen-year-old white runaway who finds safe haven with these nurturing honey producing women as she tries to escape a violent father and confused, haunting memories of her past. Lily encounters a world of strong women who embrace her and mother her back to life and a future of promise and hope. Rich in symbolism and feminine adaptations of devout religious practices, Kidd uses the bee metaphor to craft a captivating story of self-discovery, shared pains and joys. Acclaimed for such insightful nonfiction as When the Heart Waits, Kidd the novelist promises to be equally noteworthy."

"Sue Monk Kidd is an extraordinary storyteller. Beautifully written." Ursula Hegi
"Sue Monk Kidd's eccentric, inventive, and ultimately forgiving novel is reminscent of the work of Reynolds Price in its ability to create a truly original Southern voice." Anita Shreve
"A wonderful novel about mothers and daughters and the transcendent power of love." Connie May Fowler
A wry, moving debut novel from a Stegner fellow and "one of the most gifted young writers around" (Lorrie Moore), Lay It on My Heart takes us through one unforgettable month in Charmaine Peake's thirteenth year as she comes to understand the complicated strength of mothers, the trials of faith, and the life-changing power of a true friend.
It's summer in Kentucky, the low ceiling of August pressing down on Charmaine Peake and the town of East Winder. Charmaine and her mother get along better with a room between them, but they've been forced by circumstances to relocate to a tiny trailer by the river. The last of a line of local holy men, Charmaine's father has turned from prophet to patient, his revelation lost in the clarifying haze of medication. Her sure-minded grandmother has suffered a stroke. At church, where she has always felt most certain, Charmaine is tested when she uncovers that her archrival, a sanctimonious missionary kid, carries a dark, confusing secret. Suddenly her life can be sorted into what she wishes she knew and what she wishes she didn't.
A moving, hilarious portrait of mothers and daughters, Lay It on My Heart brings us into the heart of a family weathering the toughest patch of their lives. But most of all, it marks out the seemingly unbearable realities of growing up, the strength that comes from finding real friendship, and the power of discovering—and accepting—who you are.
This piercing, sly debut novel tells the story of one unforgettable month in a Kentucky girls thirteenth year. Charmaine Peakes prophet father has been committed to a psychiatric institution. Her mother, forced to rent out their house and move them down to a trailer on the river, wont stop telling Charmaine things she doesnt want to hear—from marital details and middle-aged doubts to uncomfortable preoccupations with Charmaines changing body. A sanctimonious missionary kid has taken over her real bedroom, where Charmaine discovers his stash of strange and questionable photos. She is being tested at every turn: Where will her choices take her? And her faith? She tries to pray ceaselessly as her father taught, but with so much upheaval, even God seems to have changed.
Like the beloved Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Lay It on My Heart unleashes Southern humor on the effects of a parents mental illness. It brings us into the heart of a family weathering the toughest patch in their lives. But most of all, it marks out the seemingly unbearable realities of adolescence and the power that comes from discovering—and accepting—who you are. A moving, hilarious portrayal of the relationship between mothers and daughters, this book fulfills Angela Pneumans promise as "one of the most astonishingly talented writers today"(Julie Orringer).

Carbon High School seniors have reason to celebrate.
They won a challenge between many other high schools in the state and because the challenge required giving back to their community, the students can brag all they want about it.
Carbon High beat out 23 other high schools in the state to win a blood donation challenge sponsored by MountainStar Blood Services.
The blood bank, Utah's oldest, launched a campaign last January called "High School Donors Tour 2010."
The competition was described as a competition between seniors at the 23 Utah high schools.
Most of the schools that participated had about 10 to 30 percent of their seniors participate, but Carbon High had 61 percent of its senior class participate in the challenge during a blood drive on campus on April 18.
Over 90 seniors at Carbon High signed up to participate and the school was able to have about 85 of the students donate blood.
With the recent passing of HB 64, the Human Blood Procurement and Use Act, now more teens will be allowed to donate blood.
Before the bill passed, only people as young as 17 were allowed to donate blood with parental consent forms at school-sponsored blood drives.
Now anyone 16 years and older is allowed to donate blood.
"We expect to see an increase of 10 to 20 percent among our high school donors now that Utah has joined 40 other states in allowing 16 year olds to give blood," said Steven Hansen, a recruiter and marketing supervisor with MountainStar Blood Services.
MountainStar Blood services has been in business for 50 years. About 2,500 units of blood are needed every month to meet the demands of eight hospitals operated by two health care systems.
Businesses, churches, community organizations, and clubs - as well as schools - are invited to host a blood drive.
Donor eligibility information, and tips on how to host a drive, are available by calling toll-free (877) 45-BLOOD.

Haven't figured out how to search forums yet, so I'm starting a thread myself! Just wanted to a place to maintain my sanity while I wait to hear back from Cornell. It feels like I've been waiting for YEARS considering I was placed on reserve back in March .

Steven Spielberg has drafted Will Smith into his quest to continue to take a dump on movies you hold in high esteem. This time it's Oldboy. The pair is just "in talks" at the moment and nothing official has been started. I like Will Smith, only because I don't dislike him. I also don't dislike the affordable and dependable Toyota Camry, Cinnabon, and MSNBC. They are all totally non threatening. Here's what's happening in Hollywood.

It's a rare thing when a woman can appeal to both your brain and your boner. But through a blend of sexiness, quirk, smarts, and style, the following women have ingratiated themselves to our best and worst intentions. Keep up the good work, ladies.
Larry Moss demands a broader search for Bauer and Almeida during a speech to his whole department at FBI techno-thief headquarters. He's also starting to lose it over the possibiliy of Walker's death.Buchanan and Chloe arrive at Walker's temporary grave to unbury her. She's not breathing. "Get the adrenaline!" They pierce her heart with it, and she wakes up.Bauer asks Emerson how he got Almeida out of CTU. He explains this story about how Mr. Anderson intentionally missed his artery as he was injecting him with poision, and that Emerson's role was cultivate Almeida into a vengeful machine to use against Bauer. Almeida starts crying? Talking about brothers (he and Emerson) taking care of eachother? Lame.They get to the drop off point at an airport hangar where Emerson disarms Bauer and holds a gun up to his head. Almeida caps the other guy, and after an intense "take the shot!" sort of thing, Tony shoots Emerson dead.
Tonight I had a friend tell me that House is like a hospital based version of Law and Order. Although I have never particularly been a fan of Law and Order, I can see where this assessment is coming from. Both shows are investigative, have whacky multi-directional plot twists, and are based around characters with strong attitudes. Maybe I should start watching more Law and Order.
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Jack Bauer spent it giving ladies the shocker (pictured above). Mine consisted of book shelving, cheap wine, and witnessing a midget dressed as Britney Spears strip to her underwear (Lil Wayne concert = worth the money). Tonight, House cares for a special ed teacher, and 24 heats up with Bauer starting to make his moves against the bad guys he's currently working for (crossing my fingers for a terrorist attack!). One of the greatest/funniest/golfiest movies of all time is also on tonight. More after the jump.
Welcome back to Panther Nation all you friends of the yellow and blue. This week, we had an eventful installment as our Panthers played the Laribee Lions, Tim Riggins received interest from none other than the Oklahoma Sooners, Tami took on the town in her bid to reallocate the Jumbotron funds, Tyra Collette was elected senior class President, and Matt Saracen paid his estranged mother a visit. If you were a bit apprehensive after last week's episode, rest assured that the Texas high school football gods heard your prayers and made it up to you this week.
Ahh, the Hollywood Circle Jerk continues as award season gets into full swing with the adulations of the Screen Actors Guild being dished out last night.

If last week's episode was all about giving up, then this is about starting over. Which makes sense, as this episode was really all about setting up the endgame of the entire series. Also: more unfit fathers than an entire Joss Whedon series!
This past monday was considered the most depressing day of the entire year. I don't know how scientists decided that, but they are scientists so we must stand behind them as a country and not question their important work. My point is that there is a possibility that this could be the most depressing weekend of the year. You are best served to only leave the couch in order to visit your local theatre, or to purchase more liquor. Here are your options.

Time to recap the best comedy on television: 30 Rock. I laughed, I cried, I prayed… nah, I just laughed. In this episode Jack convinces Lemon to go to an upscale retreat for businessmen, Tracy thinks he has diabetes and doesn't care at all, and Jenna and Frank have sex. That's right–the typically disgusting writer and the typically babe-ish actor hook up.
David Wallace gives Michael a new assignment – travel to a small family business called Prince Paper to gather intel on their numbers so that they can put them out of business. He takes Dwight with him but once he gets there finds following through with his plan more difficult. Oh yeah, and also the entire office has a vote on whether or not Hillary Swank is hot. It's all after the jump.
Just your typical Thursday Night TV– a solid chunk of laughs with new episodes from The Office and 30 Rock. And hey, why not dial into TruTV as a fallback during the commercials? Where else are you going to find the best penile fractures and crack fueled attempts at outrunning a helicopter with a 1987 Buick LaSabre? With music by Benny Hill.
The big story of the day continues to be the massive FAIL on the part of the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences regarding their Oscar nominations. I spend most of my day reading what I would like to think of as the opinions of younger, more in touch people. Mostly regarding movies, but sometimes regarding other stuff. These are the same sort of people that were massively influential in electing our new president, and who are way more adapted to the media environment that we're all living in. With that said, here are some of the fine works that represent this ascendent generation. Barack And Michelle Will Do What To Each Other? (Holy Taco) BIG NEWS FOR TWEENS! Dakota Fanning In New Moon? (Filmdrunk) Thelma and Louise. Only with 4 aging whores: Sex In The City 2 (WIMB) Seven Unintentionally Hilarious Movie Villains (Unrealitymag) Bill Hader To Cut People Into Tiny Pieces, Eat Them (Pajiba) Uwe Boll, Mike Myers Lead 'Official' 2008 Razzie Nominations (Playlist)
This year's nominations are official. And there are a few categories with which I am taking immediate umbrage (throws down top hat, removes monocle) #1: The Wrestler should be nominated for Achievement in Costume Design. It took Mickey Rourke DECADES to weave that human suit out of growth hormone, horse steroids, hooker sweat, and amateur boxing matches. #2. Springsteen's song for The Wrestler should have been nominated in the Original Song category. #3 The Reader does not deserve a nom for Best Picture. It's about a woman who can't read. We can not use America's preeminent award ceremony to promote illiteracy. #4. Benjamin Button was good, but not 13-noms-good. Check them out and have your say, Junkies.
Okay, now that we're all done releasing our three-minute long sighs of relief that the best drama on TV is back, it's time to take a look at where our beloved islanders and mainlanders are nowadays. The islanders discover that they've somehow been unhinged from time and are bouncing around different times on the island, and Jack and Ben unite to recruit their old friends for a return visit to the island. Kate is also confronted with a choice to make about Aaron, and Hurley has to find a way to hide a dangerously tranquilized Sayid after they're nearly shot down by assassins waiting in the gloom of Sayid's room. It's riveting, it's fun, it's a must watch, and it's also right after the jump.
If you've never seen Lost, then tonight is your night. The first hour attempts to recap everything that happened in the past four seasons, and then they proceeds to bombast you with a two hour premiere that will leave you stupeified and asking for more. Also check out FOX's new series Lie to Me starring Tim Roth as an expert in lie detection who helps the cops solve crimes. Would I be lying if I said I'm crapping my pants in anticipation for Lost? You be the judge.
Not every commercial can come from the typewriter of Darren Stevens or the desk of Don Draper. Here is a cluster of shoddily made local commercials. I urge you, DO NOT get up for a beer. Do not even get up to piss. Just sit back and enjoy these words from the sponsors.
There's this race in Portland, OR called the I-Tit-Arod where dudes have to go to every strip club in town and have a drink within 24 hours. There are something like 90 clubs. No one has ever finished the race. I hope there's a similar competition during the Inaugural Balls where young, brash Charlie-Wilson-esque state representatives have to stop at each party, chug a glass of scotch, sexually harass three Senate aids, and lobby for a new bridge in their home district. I'd call it the Inagarod. Now here's the links.

The show opens with Olivia being held captive by five men in a secluded lab down by the docks. Yes, it's a typical kidnapping with guys in masks and her being tied down to a gurney. What's not typical is the female in distress, Olivia in this case, kicking, punching and shooting her way out. Yup, Olivia opens up this episode with quite the can of whoop-ass, check out what she does next after the jump.

Barack Obama and his Super Friends take over all the stations for prertty much the entire day and night. You have every channel commenting on every single gesture everyone makes, with interspersed shots of really excited people screaming and jumping to be seen on TV at the biggest bash of all time. What, you're not drunk yet? I'm trashed! Surprisingly, FOX is running their regular schedule, which includes the return of Fringe. Welcome to the age of Obama!
I've been watching the MSNBC inauguration coverage out of the corner of my eye today. With the few delays– like Ted Kennedy having a seizure and a few gaffs– like Chief Justice John Roberts bungling the inaugural oath, it's been a pretty amazing day in DC, and the anchors have done a solid job. They spent some time talking about how cock-diesel the new Presidential Limo is. 5 inch thick blast proof doors, chemical attack-proof oxygen system, and other things we'll never know about. But what they didn't mention was that this bad-boy gatling gun suburban rolls behind it in the motorcade parade that's currently taking place. Hope and change are important and all. But if things go south, spraying a wall of lead is a nice backup plan. Check this video.
Tonight's episode is about pain. Well, not all about pain, but mostly about it. The patient suffers from intense chronic pain that nobody can cure. House suffers ever-increasing pain in his legs, and he is starting to wonder if this pain will ever leave. Ohhh, and a pipe breaks in House's home, leading to an extended metaphor for House's physical condition. Along with this main theme of pain are the smaller sub-plots that make House one of the best shows on television. Thirteen and Foremon discuss their kiss, Taub and Kutner fight about the ethics of suicide, and Cuddy gets approved to be a foster mom. It is these little sub-plots that have me tuning into House every week. That and House's sarcastic banter. I love that sarcastic banter. The Patient
Matobo and his wife, locked into the safe room, hang tight while Jack, Tony, and Emerson try and figure out a way in. Agent Walker, fresh from interrogating Tanner, speeds towards Matobo's house. But Larry Moss calls her enroute, asking about her methods of interrogation. "So you tortured him?"–"I got the information we needed." He demands that she come back, but Walker's stubborn, and tells him that she's got to make things right.
This is basically the last night that you will sleep while George W. Bush is your president. For some of you this may be the sad parting of a hawkish visionary who's tough guy politics heralded in a new era of American dominance. Others may be puking joy as Commander Dickface heads back to Crawford or Dallas or wherever to hopefully wither into obscurity and never talk in a public forum again. Whatever side you may be on, we will all most likely wake up tomorrow and things will basically be the same. Celebrate this new epoch of sameness with Screenjunkies and some of our link friends.

Here's a sobering MLK DAY factoid for you: 2000 was the first year all 50 states recognized it as a Federal holiday after it was passed as law in 1986. Ponder that a little bit, try to figure out why people wouldn't want a day off work, and then give yourself over to the TV.

Where the crap is Joaquin still getting all these Quaaludes from? I've been told by dealer after dealer that the world ran out in 1978. One positive benefit to being a mega star in Hollywood is that you can get access to such awesome drugs and then when you're high enough you can announce to the world that you're going to become a rapper. One really bad part about Hollywood is that you can get access to so many crazy drugs and when you're high enough you can make the terrible mistake of deciding to pursue a rap career. To honor that land of unlimited substances and possibilities, and to continue our ongoing coverage of Joaquin Rappergate, here is a video list of some of his craziest moments. Wonderboying
Hello all you Panther fans out there, this is Slammin' Sammy Meade here welcoming you to another season of Dillon High School football. The first episode tied up a few loose ends left after the strike shortened last year's team. Smash Williams hurt his knee in a devastating playoff loss, and lost his scholarship. His hopes are still high as we first encounter him doing calisthenics with the legendary Coach Taylor. Toward the end of the summer, Tyra and Landry also apparently called the whole thing off. They remain friends though, which may indicate a willingness to rekindle. Buddy's ex-wife ran off with the kids to northern California to live with the environmentalist health food nut, leaving Lyla to live with her father. I must say I like this move, and that Buddy is better off without her.
It's business time once again from the Middle-Earthian duo Flight of the Conchords. Season two starts off with a meeting between Jemaine, Bret, and their manager Murray, who is more invested in hitmaking machine "The Crazy Dogs" (who have such hits as 'Doggy Bounce,' 'Doggy Dance,' and 'In the Pound') than the struggling Conchords. They fire Murray, who in anger double stuffs Jemaine ('stuff you Jemaine, stuff you Bret, and stuff you again Jemain'), and proceeds to burst into operatic ballad after they leave. The poor guy feels rejected, ejected, and unprotected like a baby in the snow.

The Feiss Story
In the Bronx during WWII, Rose Feiss started to sew custom lampshades to keep herself busy and her mind off the fact that her son, Murray, was off serving in the Navy. Murray came back home safe and sound, however, and saw a profitable business in his mother's lampshades. He put porcelain bases and fittings together with these lampshades, and Murray Feiss lighting was born.

Video: 32 Wyoming County cats come to Lollypop Farm
ATTICA, N.Y. (AP) -As several different agencies finish up their work at the Wyoming County SPCA site in Attica, some of the cats seized as part of the on-going investigation there are ready for new homes.
Officials remained on site Thursday cleaning and inspecting the building and a report is expected to be issued Friday on issues that need to be addressed before it could be reused.
Meanwhile, officials from the Wyoming County SPCA have surrendered their satellite site at the Eastern Hills Mall to the Erie County SPCA. Gina Browning, spokesperson for the Erie County SPCA, says some of the cats from the Attica shelter will be available for adoption there on Friday from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. The site is located in the mall across from the Dipson Theatres.
The spokeswoman for the Erie County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals tells the Daily News of Batavia that 505 have been found at its shelter in Attica in neighboring Wyoming County.
Browning says close to 40 felines, considered not properly socialized, remain inside the building and no decision has been reached yet on what will happen to them.
More than 350 of the cats have been transferred to other shelters.
The Attica SPCA shelter was raided last Wednesday by state police and Erie County SPCA workers investigating animal cruelty reports.
Authorities say the cats were living in "horrific" conditions.
No charges have been filed but the investigation is continuing.

4 CEOs Beat Steve Jobs in Creating Value Among S&P 500
GREENWICH, Conn. -- Steve Jobs was a visionary who created extraordinary value for shareholders - but four lesser-known CEOs were even more valuable over the past three years.
Express Scripts CEO George Paz earned the title of Most Valuable CEO, followed by Exelon CEO John W. Rowe. Priceline CEO Jeffery H. Boyd was #3, Varian Medical Systems CEO Timothy E. Guertin was #4 and Apple CEO Steve Jobs ranked #5.
The Top 10 Most Valuable CEOs, as well as a full ranking and methodology, can be seen here: http://chiefexecutive.net/most-valuable-ceo-1-george-paz
This is the fourth year Chief Executive magazine and ChiefExecutive.net have published its Wealth Creation Index ranking the performance of S&P 500 CEOs. Created in collaboration with Great Numbers! and the Applied Finance Group, the ranking is based on four factors: (1) How good a company was at making real money (operating cash flow in excess of its risk-adjusted cost of capital); (2) Its prospects for continuing to make real money; (3) Its wise use of capital; and (4) How highly the market values the company's assets.
The top 50 companies in ChiefExecutive.net's ranking produced an average total shareholder return of 68.4% in the three years ended June 30, 2011. The bottom 50 averaged -9.3%.
CEOs that had been in their roles for less than 3 years and the S&P 500's 13 REITs were not eligible, resulting in a pool of 366 chief executives (compared to 2010's 343). The ranking covered reported returns from July 2008 through June 2011.
"In creating and publishing these rankings, we're trying to help companies realize their upside potential by increasing awareness of exactly how to manage for wealth creation, and by suggesting a valid measure that can be used at all levels of an organization," said Drew Morris, CEO of Great Numbers! and the article's lead author. "Our method also lays out opportunities to improve a company's operating cash flow."
Morris noted that, "We've created a way for the S&P 500 companies' senior-management teams to look at the reality of their performance through the same lens professional investors use and to use the insights gained to create more shareholder wealth going forward."
"CEOs are hired to create wealth for their shareholders and value for their customers and employers," says J.P. Donlon, Chief Executive magazine's Editor in Chief. "Chief Executive created the Wealth Creators Index to measure just how well some are good at this task. In a real sense it measures just how good - or how poorly - some CEOs are performing their job."
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

CSU Announces 2005 Wang Family Excellence Award Recipients:
(April 12, 2005) – A legendary athletic director, a practical political scientist, a ground-breaking communicator, an innovative teacher's teacher, and a confidence-building mathematician have been named as the 2005 recipients of the prestigious California State University Wang Family Excellence Award.
The Wang award was established in fall 1998 when then-CSU Trustee Stanley T. Wang provided $1 million to reward outstanding faculty and administrators. The award is designed to "celebrate those CSU faculty and administrators who through extraordinary commitment and dedication have distinguished themselves by exemplary contributions and achievements in their academic disciplines and areas of assignment." Annually, during a 10 year-period, four faculty members and one administrator throughout the CSU system will each receive $20,000 awards. This is the seventh year the awards have been given.
Wang, who in fall 2000 gave an addition $1.2 million to establish student and faculty travel scholarships for China study, is the largest individual donor to the CSU system office.
The 2005 Wang Award recipients are:
Rudy Carvajal: Athletic Director at Cal State Bakersfield since 1971, Rudy Carvajal has built a small university program into one of the best Division II programs in the nation, winning an unprecedented 30 national championships in seven different sports and the national Sears Directors' Cup for the overall excellence of its athletic program. Thanks to his strong student-athlete model and solid tutoring and advising support, university athletes graduate at rates not only rivaling but also surpassing those of campus students in general. In turn, his athlete-students are strongly engaged in community service, "giving back to Bakersfield," in his phrase, as ambassadors for education.
Holder of bachelor's and master's degrees in physical education from UC Berkeley, Carvajal has created a legacy of excellence and service at the campus. Some 200 of his students have become school and university coaches, his women's swim team has taught hundreds of handicapped children how to swim, and his network of community volunteers has raised funds for facilities, such as the Icardo Activity Center and the Antonio Sports Center for Wrestling, that will train a new generation of athletes.
Raphael J. Sonenshein: A professor in the division of political science and criminal justice, Sonenshein is a political scientist with a national reputation in urban politics. He is a lover of teaching, whose "challenging, rigorous and entertaining" classes have earned him high marks from his students. Sonenshein, despite his already heavy teaching and advising load, has found time to create new, popular classes in his field, drawing on original research and a range of creative approaches, including field trips, noted guest speakers, and polling. As one of the top scholars on the politics of Los Angeles, an arena where he has published definitive books, he was called to serve as executive director of a commission charged to create the city's first new charter in 75 years—a charter later approved by an overwhelming majority of voters.
Sonenshein earned his doctorate and master's degrees in political science from Yale, and his bachelor's from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, coming to Fullerton in 1982. A consultant to local governments and in strong demand as a media commentator, Sonenshein also has assisted in developing and analyzing the election coverage of the well-known Los Angeles Times Poll.
Richard L. Wiseman: An entertaining and animated teacher, who has won a raft of campus recognitions for his outstanding teaching abilities, Professor Wiseman is a popular academic advisor as well. He emphasizes his role as guide rather than lecturer, seeking students' involvement in their own education, and bringing his students in as fellow researchers and co-authors of dozens of publications and conference papers. A productive scholar, whose articles in communication have been considered groundbreaking, he has also given exemplary service to the community in ways that range from serving as a scout leader to helping design traffic safety signs.
A product of public education, earning his doctorate in speech communication at the University of Minnesota, Wiseman came to Fullerton in 1978 where he specializes in intercultural, interpersonal, and nonverbal communication as well as persuasion and research methodology.
Laura P. Stowell: Dedicated to helping shape the long-overlooked middle school experience for the better, Stowell brought both a decade of practical experience as a middle school teacher and a solid scholarly background of study in the field. Coming to the young university in 1992, Stowell drew together a team of colleagues to launch a new middle school credential program for teacher candidates, one that was unique in the state and a model for the nation. She later found funding and provided leadership for the creation of the new Gateway Center in the local school district where university faculty and teacher candidates explore better ways to deliver an exemplary education to their middle school students.
Educated in Ohio, where she earned her doctorate and master's in reading and education from the University of Ohio, Stowell is known for her enthusiasm and her "wealth of knowledge."

Viji K. Sundar: A dedicated, passionate, and visionary teacher, Sundar has undertaken no less a task than to help reform mathematics education, bringing into the bright world of mathematics those deterred by "math anxiety," dismissive stereotypes, and social barriers, especially female students. She is especially noted for her pioneering work in building math skills and confidence through programs that involve both middle school and high school students as well their teachers. In addition to directing pre-service teachers and involving them in community service as math tutors to immigrant groups, she has also established exchange programs for mathematics scholars in the U.S., Nigeria and India.
Sundar received her master's and doctorate in mathematics from the University of Illinois, following university work in India. She joined the faculty at Stanislaus in1978, where she has been recognized as an Outstanding Professor as well as an Outstanding Community Service Professor.
"Countless California State University faculty members have dedicated their lives to teaching students, expanding knowledge and serving both their community and their field of study. The CSU staff is equally dedicated to serving students. The selection committee had a challenging task in choosing just one in each category, but these individuals are all extraordinarily impressive," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We are all grateful to Trustee Wang for providing a way to recognize these individuals for all they do for CSU students."
Wang, who served as a CSU Trustee from 1994 to 2002, is founder, president and chief executive officer of Pantronix Corp., based in Fremont, CA. The company, incorporated in 1974, provides a range of manufacturing services for semiconductor components, subsystems and modules. Pantronix's consumer base is worldwide in the medical, aerospace, telecommunications, automotive, instrumentation and computer industries. The China native also founded Amertron Inc., with two manufacturing facilities in the Philippines and one in China.
"Great professors and leaders such as these sow the seeds for the next generation of leaders. All of these individuals have a strong passion for helping students learn and providing them with the best education possible," said Wang. "My own professors taught me to be who I am today. The faculty recognition award is a way to demonstrate the great respect and deep appreciation I feel for them as a former trustee and student. I am a strong believer that faculty are the key to a high-quality education, which is the door to success and happiness in life."
The Wang Family Excellence Award is administered through the CSU Foundation. Each campus president annually may nominate one faculty member from each of the four discipline categories. Each president also may nominate one administrator annually. The recipients will receive the awards at the May CSU Board of Trustees' meeting.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The fans aren't happy. The players aren't happy. And it seems the owner of the Buffalo Sabres isn't entirely happy either with the team's inconsistent play, although he says there's a good explanation for it.
Channel 2's Aaron Saykin spoke with Terry Pegula Friday evening about the problems plaguing the team, their future, and the ongoing television blackout.
On and off the ice, it's been a frustrating season for the Sabres.
For starters, fans still can't watch the team on Time Warner Cable because of Time Warner's contractual dispute with MSG, the station that televises the games.
Pegula says, unfortunately, there's little the team can do.
PEGULA: I think all we can do is wait and see how they settle it. We really don't have any input into their discussions.
REPORTER: As an owner, who has a lot of money at stake, you've got a businesses out there that are partners with you, how frustrating is this?
PEGULA: Well, they know exactly how we feel. They know the numbers. They know we had good ratings, so we've got our fingers crossed that they'll get it settled.
On the ice, Pegula says the team, which had great expectations, got off to a great start., only to be decimated by injuries.
REPORTER: Given where the team is right now, do you really believe this is going to be a playoff team this year?
PEGULA: We have -- I believe we have a good hockey team. And when it gets healthy, we can make that push, I believe that. We did it last year... I like to tell people that, if they want to see frustration, be around our locker room. The guys aren't happy either. They know that the last 25 games haven't been good for us, and they're working hard to improve that.
REPORTER: Would it be fair to say we wouldn't see any kind of shake-up with the team this year or afterward?
PEGULA: What do you mean by shake up?
REPORTER: Significant changes.
PEGULA: We've got to put the team together first. Any, you know, I know that we're not going to get perfectly healthy. Very few teams are. But we're got to get close to the team that we've put together to evaluate it.
REPORTER: Where do you see this team at the end of the regular season?
PEGULA: I'd like to see us knock one of the eight that are in there now -- knock 'em out. That's got to be our goal.
REPORTER: Get in the playoffs?
PEGULA: Get in the playoffs.
As bad as they've been recently, they're still within striking distance of the playoffs.
REPORTER: Last year, as we got close to the trading deadline, you weren't afraid to go out and get somebody. Are we going to see some big moves as we get closer to the trading deadline?
PEGULA: That's hard to say. That's hard to say. We have shown in the past that we will make deals. Whether or not the deal is there, we'll have to see.

MASSENA - Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce officials say they would be interested in becoming part of a tourist initiative called RiverQuest after listening to a presentation about the effort.
Its under investigation and discussion. As a chamber, we would be very interested in being involved, board President Miriam S. Catapano said.
She, along with chamber Associate Director Penny Pullmain, Mayor James F. Hidy and Thomas Sullivan, executive director of the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena, had attended a recent presentation on RiverQuest.
RiverQuest is an initiative created and launched by Brockvilles Aquatarium in Brockville, Ont., with the focus on the 1000 Islands region of the St. Lawrence River. RiverQuest partners represent communities from Cornwall and Massena in the east, to Sackets Harbor and Kingston, Ont., in the west.
Its a program that incorporates municipalities along the river, from Clayton to Massena and Brockville, Ont., to Cornwall, Ont. What they do is mass market the area and highlight the attractions each municipality has, Mr. Hidy said.
In Massena, its the Power Authority, the Hawkins Point Visitors Center and the Seaway Locks, he said. Massena will be one of five points they would market as a tourist destination, and they would place a kiosk at the visitors center that connects all the places along the river.
It highlights points of interest along the way, kind of this range of interests in the area that tourists and visitors can come to, former chamber Director Connie Jenkins said.
Ms. Pullmain said kiosks would be placed on each side of the river, and each kiosk would highlight destinations, as well as provide visitors with an opportunity to play a game as they visited tourist attractions.
They accumulate points and eventually get prizes. It would be questions about the place theyre at and other places, she said.
It would be a form of entertainment and people could collect points based on trivia questions related to that individual site, as well as the others to potentially earn prizes, Mr. Hidy said.
The chamber already highlights RiverQuest on its website, which Ms. Pullmain means they are technically a friend of the initiative.
By joining the initiative, RiverQuest would include Massena as one of the destination for visitors.
Among its highlighted destinations right now are 1000 Islands & Seaway Cruises; Antique Boat Museum in Clayton; the Aquatarium in Brockville, which will open to the public in April; Boldt Castle; Clayton Island Tours; Clayton Opera House; Chrysler Park Marine; Frederic Remington Museum; Lost Villages Historical Society; and Singer Castle.
Its a good thing because theyre mass marketing the whole region, Mr. Hidy said. We have an opportunity to work with a very professional and well-established marketing firm. Its an honor to be asked to participate.
More information about the initiative and tourism opportunities is available at www.1000islandsriverquest.com.

NORTH KINGSTOWN — The streak is still alive.
After playing five drama-free contests that were decided by nine or more runs, unbeaten Lincoln encountered its toughest test in nearly a month when the Lions trekked down to Ryan Park for a Monday night showdown with second-place North Kingstown.
And while the Lions were able to come away with a 3-2 win, it was far from easy, and it took eight innings and some daring baserunning from Casie Beauchemin to produce the game-winning run.
In the eighth, the international tiebreaker rule came into play, meaning that each squad was going to start their half of the inning with a runner on second base.
Beauchemin, who made the last out of the seventh for the Lions, was the runner on base, and she went to third when Adriana Toro dropped a bunt along the third-base line that appeared to be rolling foul, but was picked up by third baseman Devin Neary, who was unable to deliver a strong enough throw to get the speedy Toro out at first.
That brought Lindsay Mayer to the plate, and on N.K. pitcher Taylor Butler's first pitch to her, Toro took off for second.
N.K. catcher Heather Jackson threw the ball to second, but the throw was cut off between the mound and second base by second baseman Liz Finelli, who saw Beauchemin leading far off third and quickly fired the ball to third.
Beauchemin, who would have been picked off if she went back to the bag, broke for the plate, and she beat Neary's throw to Jackson on a close play with a nice hook slide.
The Lions nearly scored another run two pitches later when Mayer surprised everyone with a bunt directly in front of the plate, but Jackson scooped up the ball and tagged out Toro, who bravely tried to score on it.
Nevertheless, Beauchemin's run was more than enough support for the Lions and Mayer, who scattered seven hits, struck out 10 batters (including the side in the first two innings), and walked two batters in her mound outing.
"It was just a great game," head coach Dick Ryan said after the victory. "That was the best team we've faced all year, and I've got to give my kids a lot of credit. Lindsay proved why she's the best pitcher in the state. This is just a fantastic win for our program. North Kingstown is an outstanding team."
The Lions, who are now 10-0 in the league and have now won 32 straight games dating back to last year's undefeated championship season, scored their first two runs in the top of the second on a two-run double by Lauren Hervieux.
Butler, who ended up with a six-hitter that included six strikeouts and four walks, dished out free passes to the first two batters she faced, Emily Bouthillette and Stacey Mayer, and one out later, Hervieux hammered a 1-1 pitch into the gap in left-center.
The Skippers, who fell to 10-2 and were coming off their first loss of the season, a 2-0 defeat to East Providence last Friday, scored their first run in the third on a squeeze bunt by Finelli that knocked in Jackson, who led off with a walk and sped to third on an infield throwing error.
N.K. nearly plated another run later in the inning when Neary tried to score Butler from second with a two-out single to center, but Toro, the Lions' center fielder, threw a bullet to the plate to nab Butler for the final out.
In the sixth, the Skippers tied the game on a sacrifice fly to center by Amy Augenstein that scored Rachel Kantor, who lofted a triple to the fence in right-center after striking out in her first two at-bats.

Lent began yesterday and for many Christians this means giving up something for 40 days, in part to practice self-discipline. While forgoing meat, chocolate, smoking, or whatever else one chooses, when temptation hits, it might be useful to review some of the findings in social psychology on self-control. According to one theory, self-control is construal dependent. So, when trying to refrain from something, depending on how you see the tempting situation you may come to a different conclusion.
It seems that we have better self-control when something is psychologically distant (for example through time or space). There are many ways to be psychologically distant from a situation. In one study, psychologists found that when people pictured themselves voting from a third person perspective they were more likely to actually go and vote versus people who pictured voting from a first person perspective. So, maybe when you go for that chocolate you vowed to give up you will do a better job refraining if you picture yourself eating it from a third person perspective. Other ways to distance yourself psychologically would be to view your action in the context of time– tell yourself yes you can drink a glass of wine now, but in the long run you won't be happy with yourself for breaking Lent. Or perhaps the easiest way to distance yourself from your temptation is to literally distance yourself from it. Move the cake into a different room or don't keep cake in your house in the first place because (no surprises here) physical distance has been shown to make self-control easier as well.
Although, my guess is that if psychological distance can improve self-control, people who are practicing Lent may already have an advantage over people who just choose to forgo something outside the religious context. Lent itself provides a superordinate goal of discipline and willpower in order to become more spiritually fulfilled. Remembering this bigger picture when tempted may provide the psychological distance needed to refrain.

Drinking something delicious, straight from the dispenser is often frowned upon, and while we don't believe this happens often, it's important that you have essential beverage supplies on hand for when some crazy customer tries to lock lips with your nozzles. All jokes aside, beverage supplies, like pitchers, creamers, and decanters, are extremely convenient in both the commercial kitchen and at home. Delivering drinks to the dining room is made easy and safe when you've got the right beverage supplies in your catering kit or kitchen cupboards.
