Hypnosis methods vary a great deal, which makes it hard to study as a way to stop smoking. In general, reviews that looked at studies of hypnosis to help people quit smoking have not supported it as a quitting method that works. Still, some people find it useful. If you are interested in trying it, ask your doctor if he or she can recommend a good hypnotherapist.
Acupuncture is a technique in which very thin needles of varying lengths are inserted through the skin to treat a variety of conditions. There are a number of different acupuncture techniques, including some that use sound waves, tiny electrical charges, and that may or not use actual needles.
Auricular therapy is a form of acupuncture that applies a small level of electrical stimulus to the exterior portions of the ear. The theory is that this form of therapy minimizes cravings by calming the nervous system. Auricular therapy is also used to treat other health issues such as weight loss, insomnia, pain, and alcohol addiction.

After years of racial discrimination in elementary through high school from classmates and even teachers, Nikki Chavez had given up on her dream of becoming a teacher. But an internship at Trimble County Public Library re-inspired the Christian Academy of Carrollton graduate to pursue a double major in elementary education and Spanish next year at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., becoming the first person in her family to attend college.
Carroll County High School senior Sabrina Young will be the first in her family to attend college when she arrives on campus at Western Kentucky University. But that achievement is overshadowed by the path she had to follow to even get to high school graduation.
Imagine that you have played your entire varsity-level high school softball career with the same core group of girls. Over the past six years, you have grown together as a team and a softball family, celebrating the highs and dealing with the lows together.
Then, the next year, everyone is gone. They have graduated, and you are the lone senior left on a team of inexperienced underclassmen and middle schoolers, attempting to compete on the varsity level.
How do you respond?
People say that sports are just a game. But to some, it can be so much more.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia Andrew Weibrecht shocked the world of alpine skiing yet again Sunday.
Four years after taking a surprise bronze medal in super-giant slalom at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the 28-year-old from Lake Placid, whos never found the World Cup podium outside of the Olympic games, won a silver medal in the super-G at the Rosa Khutor Alpine Center in the Sochi Olympics.
Weibrecht finished in 1 minute,18.44 seconds, just three-tenths of a second out of the gold medal position, which was claimed by Norways Kjetil Jansrud in 1:18.14. Weibrecht pushed the man considered the U.S.s greatest alpine skier, Bode Miller, into a tie for the bronze with Canadas Jan Hudec. Both Miller and Hudec were clocked at 1:18.67.
The finish was a flip-flop of Weibrechts and Millers results at the Vancouver games, when it was Miller who won the silver and Weibrecht the bronze in super-G
This is probably the most emotional day of ski racing Ive ever had, said Weibrecht, who has battled through injuries, illness and inconsistency over the last four years. All the issues and troubles that Ive had, to be able to have a really strong result like this, it reminds me of all the work I did to come back, that its all worth it and it all makes sense.
As he talked near the finish line, the soft-spoken Weibrecht was surrounded by a horde of reporters and news media from all across the U.S. and around the world.
This is the most shocking day in my career as a ski writer at an alpine event in seven Winter Olympics, said veteran ski racing journalist John Meyer of the Denver Post. Hes never been on a World Cup podium, and now to have two medals at super-G at the Olympics, its just, its what makes ski racing so great and so much fun that you can see that happen.
In a Facebook post before the Olympics, Weibrecht called his bronze medal run four years ago at the Whistler Creekside Resort his last great race. One month after those games, he crashed and tore the rotator cuff and labrum in his right shoulder. He also tore the anterior ligaments in his left ankle. During the 2011 World Cup season, Weibrecht tore the labrum in his left shoulder. Three days after coming back from that injury, he tore three ligaments in his right ankle. Hes had four surgeries in four years.
The last four years have been really tough because everythings been so disrupted and I havent had any continuity in my training, Weibrecht said.
His best result since the Vancouver games came in December 2011, when he took 10th place at a World Cup super-G at Beaver Creek, Colo. At one point he was moved from the A to the B team and had to pay for some of his travel expenses.
Theres been times where Ive had to evaluate whether this is what I want to do, as recently as yesterday, said Weibrecht, who did not finish in his earlier race in Sochi, the super combined. Theres only so many times you can get kicked before you really start to feel it. I try not to focus on results, but I needed a result to remind me more than anything that Im capable of this and that I belong here.
Whether Weibrecht would even get the chance to compete in another Olympics was in question right up until the day in January when the mens alpine team was announced. He competed in only four super-G races before these games, finishing 34th, 20th, 21st and 23rd.
On Saturday, race officials pushed back the start of todays super-G by an hour to 10 a.m. to give the racers a harder surface after days of warm temperatures and sunshine. Weibrecht drew a late starting position, 29th, which isnt what he wanted.
After blasting out of the starting gate, Weibrecht was ahead of Jansruds gold-medal pace by three-tenths of a second at the first split. When the scoreboard showed he was also ahead at the second and third splits, the crowd at the finish line grew louder and louder. Weibrecht lost a little bit of time on the last portion of the course, but he still skied hard and fast enough to make the podium.
I came through the finish, and I knew that I skied well, he said. I knew that I had a really good run.
As he crossed the finish line, Weibrecht looked up at the scoreboard and saw he was in second place. Overcome with emotion, he bent over and put both hands on his head, staying in that position for several seconds.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Each month the Sun Advocate presents two views of the same subject as columnists Terry Willis and Tom McCourt see it.
No change needed
We are in the midst of the summer holiday driving season. With that comes the worry about encountering a drunk driver on the road.
It seems like every year after a particularly bad fatal accident that involves a drunk driver our legislators get on the band wagon about lowering that states BAL (Blood Alcohol Level) law. It really seems ironic when the head of the Utah Highway Patrols Alcohol Enforcement Program was involved in a DUI crash while on duty.
Right now as it stands Utah is consistent with all 50 states with a BAL level of impairment of .08. There have been efforts floated around to lower it to .04 or even a zero tolerance level for those with a child in the car. Now if I thought that the change would really save lives I would be for this. But in reality we have laws on the books right now that need to be enforced in a different way, not making new ones.
I have been touched by alcoholism in my life with both family and close friends. Even though we have been fortunate not to have lost a family member to a DUI crash, one of my early memories from back in the Midwest dealt with one. My youth CCD teacher missed one Saturday class. We asked where she was. Her brother had been killed that early morning in a DUI crash. She was at the church hysterically crying when we went in for mass. That memory haunts me to this day.
I think we have some very bizarre liquor laws in this state. Several of them actually make it more likely that someone may over indulge. The one where you cant have a second drink on the table until you finish you first is one example. I have seen people gulp down a drink because someone bought them a second drink and the waitress stood holding it until they finished their first.
Utahs open container laws and the .08 BAL levels are a good thing. In 2004 there were 72 alcohol related traffic fatalities out of 296 vehicle fatalities in Utah. The statistic for alcohol related deaths are not necessarily that the driver was impaired or even under the influence of alcohol. It just means the person who died had at least .01 level of alcohol in their blood. Of those deaths 39 percent had a BAL of .08 and higher.
Of all drivers tested with at least .01 in their system, 85 percent had .08 or higher, 51 percent had .16 or higher. Arrest records show that nationally a level of greater than .18 is the most common level. In Utah the most common level is .14.
Over 30 percent of those pulled over for a DUI are multiple offenders. That means they have been arrested at least one other time for a DUI. In Utah a DUI offense can be dropped from your record after several years so if you lay low for a while you may not get tagged as a repeat offender even if you are.
As it stands right now the usual penalty for a first time offender is 40 hours of community service within nine months. Attend a substance abuse program within 30 days, pay a $500 fine and serve 16 months probation and that is it.
I dont think filling up the jails and prisons is the way to get ourselves out of this problem. If we continue to lower the BAC level it will only clog the courts with people who are not truly impaired behind the wheel. Cell phone use and tired drivers are a worse hazard than a driver with .01 of alcohol in their system. Your NyQuil will more than do that.
We need bigger fines and more money rolled into substance abuse programs. There should be penalties for people who facilitate people who have lost their licenses by registering cars for them or loaning the vehicles when they have no license. Just like drug court, DUI offenses should be rolled over to a long range court monitoring system. Up front these things may cost more money, but in the end, the savings of money and lives will be worth every penny.
We have to focus on the real problem in DUI and that is the truly impaired drivers and repeat offenders. Do not think that lowering the BAL will address either of these issues. Fund the Highway Patrol at a proper level to do their job. Make sure the court system has the tools to do theirs.
And just as important; invest in substance abuse programs to allow people to change. It can happen in any family, any time.
Zero tolerance
For years Utah and most of the country has had a .08-percent permissible blood-alcohol level for those operating motor vehicles. It has been a practical standard that has served the public reasonably well. However, the standard is only an arbitrary measure and one size never fits all. There are many variables that influence a persons blood-alcohol level.
First is the size of the individual. A 300-hundred pounder can consume more alcohol without getting drunk than a person weighing 100 pounds. Someone with a full stomach will show a lower blood-alcohol reading, all other things being the same, than a person who drinks on an empty stomach. The percentage of alcohol in the drink, the time spent drinking, the time passed since downing that last gulp, and perhaps even a natural tendency toward or away from alcoholism might come into play.
And people who drink often seem to have a higher tolerance for alcohol before becoming noticeably impaired. The fact is, we are all different and have varying levels of tolerance toward alcohol.
So, is the .08 standard fair for everyone? Perhaps not. Why not set a standard that fits everyone regardless of size, familiarity with the product, or motivation for drinking? How about a zero percent legal limit?
Think about it. The goal of setting a legally drunk standard is to stop impaired drivers and protect the public. Its a worthy goal and we need to be serious about it. Unfortunately, what we are doing now isnt working very well.
An official Utah state website lists DUI statistics for the past several years. Overall, in both Utah and the nation, the number of alcohol related deaths has been slowly dropping since the mid-eighties. But for the last two years data is available, 2003 and 2004, the number of alcohol related fatalities on Utah roads increased by more than 50 percent, from 46 in 2003 to 72 in 2004. And in 2003, only 12 percent of those involved in accidents had a blood-alcohol level above .08. In 2004 that number doubled to 24 percent.
What is happening here? More drunks are causing accidents and they are more drunk than they were the year before. Does allowing a legal alcohol limit actually encourage some people to drive after downing a few drinks?
It would appear that our current laws do not deter those who are prone to drink and drive. Why not? Are we too lenient in court? Are we not tough enough with repeat offenders? Is our society too tolerant of this type of criminal behavior?
I dont know about you, but I dont want some drooling fool who is bleary-eyed with booze, whacked out on weed, or mindless on meth, coming at me down the highway at 70-miles per hour in any type of vehicle. Weve got to get these people off the road.
Rehabilitation is fine and it has its place. Compassion for those who struggle with addiction is a virtue and that has its place too. Alcoholism is even considered to be a disease by some. But please, do the alcohol and drug rehab off the highway. I have no tolerance or compassion for anyone who recklessly endangers the lives of others, no matter how sick or needy.
I vote we go with a zero tolerance standard. We have zero tolerance for first-graders who bring squirt guns to school, why not have the same standard for adults who drive while under the influence of booze or drugs? A 4000-pound car is much more deadly than a squirt gun.
It is also true that many drugs have warnings on the label about taking the medication while operating motorized vehicles. We should not allow any wiggle room on that either. If you are taking medications that might impair your ability to drive, stay home or have someone else drive.
And lets come down hard on repeat offenders. I dont think we should put them in jail either. I think we should reconstruct the old world War II Japanese internment camp near Tonapah and keep them all together out there in the rocks and lizards where they cant hurt anyone.

Thus ends my Everybody Hates Chris reviews
My reviews of Everybody Hates Chris didn't garner many responses, though that never bothered me much. It's a smart and funny show and I was happy to write about it every week, even if it didn't get the recognition shared by your Ugly Bettys, My Name is Earls and other comedies from the big networks.
Unfortunately, I have to stop reviewing the show, because we're not allowed to write about black people on this blog -- I'm kidding! Really, that was a joke. Actually, the honest to goodness reason I can't write about Everybody Hates Chris is that the CW has been removed from my cable lineup because of some corporate nonsense I don't fully understand, nor do I plan to understand it because I only care about the shows themselves, not whatever bureaucratic B.S. is keeping the CW off my TV.
Usually when I stop reviewing a show it's because I've grown tired of it or I feel I've said all that can be said about the show. This is the first time a show has actually been "taken" from me. I imagine this is what it's like to have your own child kidnapped -- and then later returned alive and well with a note on their sleeve telling you can't watch the CW anymore.
Anyway, it was fun while it lasted, but like all good things, this one had to end. Thanks for reading my reviews, and here's hoping Everybody Hates Chris keeps going so I can continue not reviewing it for many seasons to come.

You wouldn't know it by looking at her, but Dita Von Teese actually had a bout with rosacea that she fiercely overcame in true glamourpuss style.
This may not be necessarily encouraging to all the women out there with less-than-amazing health insurance, but her number one advice? Find an excellent skin doctor and make sure he prescribes you only the best in skincare products, according to The New York Times' T Magazine.
Her other big piece of advice, which she passed down from the miracle-worker who cured her rosacea?
"He said it doesn't matter what moisturizer you use," Von Teese told the magazine. "Just make sure you put it on right after cleansing, while your skin is still damp. That way your pores can absorb it while they are still open."
This rings true for all women, no matter what their current skin status, but may be especially helpful from women suffering from psoriasis or rosacea. Make sure to let your moisturizer sink in for at least five minutes prior to applying makeup to ensure best results.
Dita Von Teese on conquering rosaceaMay 26th, 2011 | Contributed by: Rebecca Strong
You wouldn't know it by looking at her, but Dita Von Teese actually had a bout with rosacea that she fiercely overcame in true glamourpuss style.
2 Responses to "Dita Von Teese on conquering rosacea"
1. I thought that rosacea is a chronic condition; ie., one has "bouts" but the condition comes and goes. It's not curable.
2. She needs to have her excellent skin doctor explain how pores operate.
3. Applying moisturizer to damp skin isn't exactly a news flash. This is the most basic of skincare knowledge.
Dita Von Teese did not have Rosacea. If she did, it wouldn't have been "cured." There is no cure, and her skin appears as lily white as Snow Freaking White's.
Not Rosacea.

This year, about 552,650 Americans are expected to die of cancer - more than 1,500 people a day. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., exceeded only by heart disease. In the U.S., one of four deaths is from cancer. In 2007, about 1,444,920 new cancer cases will be diagnosed. The American Cancer Society stresses that prevention and early detection are key factors in the fight against cancer.
Lifestyle plays a major role in cancer risk, and diet has been estimated to contribute to at least one-third of all cancer-related deaths. Overweight women are eight times more likely to develop uterine cancer than women of normal weight. There also is some evidence that heavier women also are at greater risk of ovarian cancer, breast cancer and cancer of the gallbladder.
To reduce your risk of cancer, experts recommend physical activity, not smoking and following these dietary guidelines:

Ogdensburg native Michael B. Powers is on a mission to keep as many state prisons open as possible, and to educate the public on the role corrections officers play in helping safeguard society.
Mr. Powers, a 23-year veteran of the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, is running for statewide president of the New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association. The union represents some 23,000 workers including corrections officers, mental health workers and public security guards.
"Violent crime in the state has increased significantly on the street and, more concerning for us, in our facilities." Mr. Powers said Wednesday. "What has happened is that you've had a restructuring of the Department of Corrections."
Mr. Powers's bid for the union's top position comes amid shifting tides in the Department of Corrections. In the past four years, state officials have shuttered a dozen facilities. A fresh round of pending closures includes Chateaugay Correctional Facility in Franklin County and Mount McGregor in Saratoga County. To facilitate the shut downs, Mr. Powers said state officials have embarked on a slippery slope of reclassifying the security ranking of large segments of the inmate population. By deeming violent felons as less of a threat, the inmates are systematically moved from maximum security facilities to those housing prisoners considered to be of medium risk. Others, he said, are simply released.
"Three years ago we had up to 120 percent capacity of maximum security inmates, and we didn't have the max space to house them," Mr. Powers said. "So what the department did was to reclassify the inmates, and they reclassified them to medium standards. So they put the more violent, and more institutionalized, if you will, from a max facility to a medium setting."
The result of the administrative shift has been two-fold, according to Mr. Powers. He said more potentially dangerous criminals have been put back on the streets, and the inmates left behind bars have in many cases created a much more dangerous environment for fellow inmates and those who guard them.
"The medium setting has no individual cells. It is a dormitory-type setting, and with that came an increase in violence in our medium facilities," Mr. Powers said.
He said assaults on staff have risen, inmate-on-inmate crime has risen, and gang activity behind bars is at an all-time high.
"You can't get on a phone in our prisons without gang approval to call their loved ones. That's just a fact. We can't get around it. We don't have enough eyes or ears on the floor, and that is one of our concerns," he said.
While saying that making sure the state's prison system is safer for corrections officers is a top priority, Mr. Powers said he also sees the union president's position as a platform from which to educate the public on what the day-to-day job of being a corrections officer entails, and the secondary role union members play in keeping the public at large safe from violence on the streets.
"There's the perception of being an over-paid baby sitter, which angers me to no end," Mr. Powers said. "I've got 23 years in this department and I've always been an advocate for the job. It's a job that has been labeled the forgotten cop. We are the officers that are behind the walls and the fences and nobody seems to know what happens in there."
In recent weeks the NYSCOPBA membership voted out president Donn Rowe, paving the way for a showdown between Mr. Powers and the Hudson region's Larry Flanagan Jr. for the union's leadership. Rank-and-file members will choose their new president July 10.
Mr. Powers said he is drawing on his years of service in facilities across the state, from the Bronx to Ogdensburg, to muster support. In addition, he points to his active involvement in the successful grass-roots efforts to save the Ogdensburg Correctional Facility and the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center from the state budget ax.
"I lobbied a lot," Mr. Powers said. "Whenever there's an issue, I'm the guy that shows up at the scene. I have quite a lofty agenda if I am successful at this."

Hazlegrove school wants to share its passion for reading
Posted: February 11, 2013|
HAZLEGROVE Prep School at Sparkford is sharing its passion for reading with the launch of its first Festival of Literature at the school from 4th to 11th March.
Many of the planned talks and events will be open to local schools and the public.
Coinciding with World Book Day on 7th March, the event will be opened by Dirk Foch, managing director of Renaissance Learning, who along with David Edwards, Hazlegrove's director of studies, will also be leading a discussion group "Raising a Reader" which is aimed at parents and teachers and will explore different approaches to instil a love of reading in children. David Edwards said: "As teachers and parents we have a responsibility to encourage children to read for both purpose and pleasure. Reading is at the core of life and we believe that a school should do everything it can to support this. This is why in the Autumn term we challenged the children to read 130 million words which they achieved and exceeded. We have created a real reading culture here at Hazlegrove."
Children's author Gill Lewis, who lives locally, will be talking about her route from vet to author, and the animal and human inspiration behind her books, especially the highly acclaimed Sky Hawk. Ingo author, Helen Dunmore will talk about her stories and read from her books, and author Angie Sage, is hoping to launch her new book, Fyre, the last book in the Septimus Heap series, during her talk on Wednesday 6th March to an audience of invited local schools.
Other events, talks and book signings include a Battle in the Air War Panel on Thursday 7th March an evening with some of the foremost experts in the field of military history and aviation. The evening will be hosted by ACM Sir Peter Squire, who will be joined on the panel by Sir Hew Strachan, Sebastian Cox, James Holland, and Commodore Neill Thomas.
Headmaster Richard Fenwick said: "There is great concern about children's literacy in this country and there is no quick fix or easy answer. However, at Hazlegrove we have put reading firmly on the map and inspire our students to develop an early life-long love of books. The Festival of Literature is a celebration of reading for our students, local schools and members of the public."

The National Football League's All-Decade Teams have been determined by the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Selection Committee.
1920s | 1930s | 1940s | 1950s | 1960s | 1970s | 1980s | 1990s | 2000s
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Selection Committee selected the All-Decade Team of the 1950s retroactively in 1969 in celebration of the NFL's first 50 seasons.
Pro football's popularity skyrocketed during the 1950s. Much of the nationwide interest was the result of exposure through television. In 1951, the NFL's championship game was televised coast-to-coast for the first time. By the middle of the decade television began broadcasting a number of regular season games. Arguably one game late in the decade truly placed the NFL into the country's collective consciousness. That was the 1958 Championship Game won by the Baltimore Colts in overtime. The game is known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played."
A number of superstars were on the field for that historic contest between the Colts and New York Giants. They were, however, just some of the many great players that helped the NFL grow to the next level and brought about vast expansion in the 1960s.
So, the task the Hall of Fame's Selection Committee had before them to pick the best players of the 1950s was a difficult one indeed.
The 1950s also brought larger rosters and more specialized play. As a result, for the first time the All-Decade Team included offensive and defensive units.
College: Southern Methodist
Pro Career: 1955-1967 Baltimore Colts. HOF: 1973
Berry, a 20th-round draft pick by the Colts, he turned into one of the all-time great route runners. He retired from the NFL as the league's all-time receiving leader. Berry caught a record 631 passes for 9,275 yards and 68 TDs during his Hall of Fame career. One of his finest performances came in the famous '58 title game when he hauled in 12 catches for 178 yards.
College: Santa Clara; UCLA
Pro Career: 1948-1956 Los Angeles Rams. HOF: 1970
Fears was one of the NFL's first big-number receivers. He led the NFL in receiving in each of his first three seasons and totaled 212 receptions during that span. Fears hauled in an unimaginable 84 catches in 1950 that included 18 grabs in one game. Both were records that stood for some time. In all, he amassed 400 career catches.
College: Georgia

Walston was a consistent performer who averaged 17.2 yards per catch during his 12-year career with the Eagles.

After leading the Browns to four straight AAFC titles, he brought his magic to the NFL when the Browns joined the league in 1950.

College: Oregon
Pro Career: 1949-1957 Los Angeles Rams; 1958-1960 Philadelphia Eagles. HOF: 1971
A true star among stars in the NFL during the 1950s, Van Brocklin was a high-powered passer who amassed more than 23,000 yards and 173 TDs.

Van Brocklin, who led the NFL in passing three times, still holds the record of 554 yards passing in a game in 1951.
College: Southern California
Pro Career: 1952-1960, 1962-64 New York Giants. HOF: 1977

College: San Francisco
Pro Career: 1952, 1954-58 Chicago Cardinals; 1959-1962 Los Angeles Rams; 1963 Detroit Lions; 1964-66 Philadelphia Eagles. HOF: 1972

Nicknamed "The King," McElhenny exhibited one of the most exciting running styles of his era. He was one of four Hall of Famers in the 49ers' famed "Million-Dollar Backfield." By the time he retired he had combined for more than 11,000 yards and 60 touchdowns. He had 5,281 yards rushing; 264 catches for 3,247 yards; and more than 2,800 yards on punt and kickoff returns.
College: Penn State
Pro Career: 1956-1967 Baltimore Colts. HOF: 1975
The NFL's Rookie of the Year in 1956, Moore went on to record a Hall of Fame career highlighted by 12,451 combined net yards and 113 career touchdowns. An All-NFL pick five times, Moore scored a touchdown in a record 18 straight games from 1963 to 1965. After injuries slowed him in 1963, Moore rebounded with one of his finest seasons when he scored 20 touchdowns and was named the Comeback Player of the Year in 1964.
College: Wisconsin
Pro Career: 1955-1960 Baltimore Colts
A bruising 218-pound runner, Ameche is best known for his game-winning one-yard run in the famous 1958 NFL Championship Game.

Ameche was voted to four Pro Bowls during his six-season career.
College: Compton Junior College
Pro Career: 1948-1960, 1963 San Francisco 49ers (AAFC/NFL); 1961-62 Baltimore Colts. HOF: 1969
Perry is the first player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. Nicknamed "The Jet" because of his great quickness at the start of plays, he rushed for 9,723 yards in his career including two seasons in the defunct All-America Football Conference. He also had 260 career catches.
College: Ohio State
Pro Career: 1946-1959, 1961-67 Cleveland Browns (AAFC/NFL). HOF: 1974
Nicknamed "The Toe" because of his kicking abilities, it should be noted that Groza is also a Hall of Fame tackle. He earned All-NFL honors at tackle six times and was named the NFL's Player of the Year in 1954. He played in four AAFC championships and nine NFL title games including 1950 when he kicked the game-winning field goal. He totaled 1,608 points in 21 seasons.
I feel it is stupid to name all-star, all-decade teams and then the teams never include a punt returner or kickoff returner. That would be like naming a team and leaving the best kickoff man in the history of the NFL off of it. Some people who buy such books haven't always followed pro football or are maybe buying it for someone who does. The person getting the book might just want to know who the best kickoff returner during that particular era was. But they will be shocked to find out that category or position has been left out. If I asked you to tell me who the best kickoff returner during the decades of 50's, 60's, 70's 80's and so on were. Most people would have to find one or more books to find the answers. I know who the 50's was. It was my phone friend Lynn Chandnois I never met him but talked to him often on the phone. He was my favorite Steeler player during the 50's decade and even today I would say he was my favorite Steeler player of all time. He was a gentleman and a very good person. His record of 29.6 was broken by none other than Gale Sayers who has led that category ever since. With a 30.6 average.
I would add YA Tittle at QB

In the midst of this year's world series, there is a new Esto Gallery: Baseball Stadium Architecture. Game 6 of the World Series heads back to Fenway Park tonight. There are photographs of Fenway and the old Busch stadium in St. Louis, as well as others that haven't been visible during the post-season.
Of the Gallery, Deane Madsen writes:
Even architects can get antsy waiting for the next game in an unexpectedly contentious World Series. With the Boston Red Sox tying the series with the St. Louis Cardinals late last night, we're guaranteed another night at Busch Stadium as well as a return trip to Fenway Park in Boston. What better way to decide allegiances between games than with comparisons of baseball stadium architecture? Esto photographers have documented several past and present hallowed halls dedicated to the "national pastime," from bleachers to boxes, and from lights to locker rooms. If your hometown team isn't represented here, well, better luck next season!
See the full Esto Gallery at Architect.com, or see more stadium images at EstoStock.

Now is a great time to buy a home. The market has lots of homes to choose from and mortgage rates are still hovering around 4 percent. But before you make one of the largest purchases of your life, we've put together a few mortgage tips for first-time homebuyers.
Here are five common mortgage loan mistakes to avoid:
1. Switching employment before closing the deal.
Getting approved for a mortgage requires that you demonstrate you have the ability to pay back the amount you borrow. Proving stable employment is a key factor to that process. A steady income and job stability over time will help to show you are able to repay a loan. Job hopping will not help — it's better to show consistency than be viewed as unpredictable. Changing jobs in the same career field will likely hurt less, but repeatedly changing direction could prevent closing on a mortgage. To ensure a smooth mortgage qualification process, stay put.
2. Buying first, asking questions later.
Don't be afraid to shop around — there are lots of homes available. While looking, be patient and picky. Deals come and go all the time. Home prices change dramatically across seasons. Committing too soon may wind up costing you more in the long run.
3. Not reading the fine print.
Homebuyers sometimes neglect to read the mortgage terms of agreement and then have concerns later when the rules kick in. Be sure to consult with an expert about the terms and requirements of your mortgage. At Washington Federal, we're happy to help answer any mortgage questions you may have. Treat the loan application process like a doctor's appointment and ask away!
4. Applying for credit while you're applying for your mortgage.
If you're applying for a mortgage, the last thing you'll want is to be viewed as a credit risk. In general, it's best to avoid applying for new credit during the mortgage process. A new credit card or car loan could hurt your chances of receiving the amount of money that you need to buy your dream home.
5. Spending too much on a down payment.
When applying for a conventional mortgage, homebuyers who put 20 percent or more down can avoid paying for mortgage insurance. However, it might not be worth spending your entire bank account in hopes of avoiding this extra cost. Your lender may require you to have funds in reserve to cover unforeseen expenses or home repairs. It's important to plan for the unexpected so you're not stuck living paycheck to paycheck.
While buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make, you can feel confident making it with Washington Federal—a trusted lender since 1917. Contact us for more mortgage information.

Girls Soccer : Team-By-Team Preview
Narrows League
Central Kitsap Cougars
Coach: Vicky Webb, eighth year
Last year: 12-7-1, lost in league playoffs
Top returners: Allie Washburn, sr., D; Rebekah Kitchen, sr., D; Katie Romas, sr., MF/F; Hannah Anderson, jr., MF; Molly Edde, jr., D; Kirsten Anthony, so., MF; Rebekah Daniel, jr., D/MF.
Top newcomers: Taylor Gillespie, so., D/MF; Kayla VanAntwerp, fr., MF/F; Brianna D'Angelo, fr., F; Marissa Byron, so., D; Jaymie Boekennoogen, so., GK.
Outlook: The Cougars graduated Brandi Hamre, who's now at Seattle Pacific and led the area in scoring last year with 26 goals and nine assists. Defender Jordan King is also playing at Cleveland State. Returning to the midfield will be Anderson, who tallied 14 goals and 10 assists last year. Washburn joins Anderson as the team's captains.
Gig Harbor Tides
Coach: Dani States, second year
Last year: 11-4-2, lost in first round of state playoffs
Top returners: Lindsay Emery, sr., D; Josie Graybeal, jr., F; Kaitlyn Savage, sr., GK; Brittany Schroeder sr., MF; Sarah MacDonald, sr., D.
Top newcomers: Jasmin Jones, fr., D; Hanna Massee, so., MF; Katie Brooks, so., MF.
Outlook: The Tides, who fell to Snohomish by a goal in the state tournament last season, have plenty of talent returning. Savage, who will play at Florida International next season, is the top returning goalkeeper in the area, while States said Graybeal is close to securing a scholarship to Arizona State. Massee and Schroeder provide speed from their outside midfield positions and Jones should be one of the top freshman players in the area.
South Kitsap Wolves
Coach: Michael Krug, first year
Last year: 11-5-1, lost in district playoffs
Top returners: Alyssa Nystrom, sr., D; Courtney Brown, sr., F; Christina Bodie, jr., MF; Tori Fairweather, sr., F; Nicole Padmos, sr., MF; Courtney Mayo, sr., MF.
Top newcomers: Kayla Evans, so., D; Kailey Lyman, fr., MF; Brianna Smallidge, GK.
Outlook: Krug, a coach in the Westsound FC club system, takes over for Scott Sodorff, who resigned just weeks before tryouts. He said the Wolves will be changing their style of play and already look strong in the midfield and the offensive third of the field. Revamping the back line is key as the team returns only one starter -- Nystrom -- on defense. Brown has a great nose for the goal.
Olympic League
Bremerton Knights
Coach: Lance McCoy, seventh year
Last year: 6-9-1
Top returners: Kelsey Johnson, sr., D; Sarah Streutker, sr., MF; Hannah McCoy, sr., MF; Vanessa Friday, sr., D; Brezzy Robison, sr.; MF; Vanessa Richardson, sr., F; Nataly Smith, sr.; F; Angelique White, jr., MF; Brooke Erickson, sr.; F.
Top newcomers: Kristy Wood, jr., GK; Callie Wilson, jr., D; T'Lea McLeod, so., D; Megan Arriola, so., MF; Jessica Martindale, so., F; Sabrena Cohen, fr., D; Rachael Pratt, fr., D; Abby Neil, fr., MF; Julie Belden, fr., F.
Outlook: The Knights won a school record 12 games in 2006, but found success harder to come by last season despite returning 10 starters from that 2006 team. Coach McCoy, entering his final season with the Knights, said finding a goal-scorer to replace graduated standout Jacki Hill is one of his team's early season goals. Smith could provide some of that scoring punch after moving from midfield to forward.
North Kitsap Vikings
Coach: Dee Taylor, first year
Last year: 8-8-3
Top returners: Siara Byers, jr., MF/F: Sidney Byers, sr., MF; Christine Parker, sr., GK; Jennifer Sargeant, sr., D; Marissa Marcotte, sr., D; Eyla Le, so., MF; Alyssa Walker, sr., F; Georgia Suter, jr., D; Madison Taylor, jr., MF/F; Megan Stickney, sr., D/MF; Cami Krema, sr., MF.
Top newcomers: Ashley Cole, fr., MF/F; Delanee Nilles, fr., MF; Rachel Fisk, fr., D; Lindsey Foster, fr., MF.
Outlook: Taylor, a former boys coach at Port Townsend who volunteered for the Vikings last season, returns a deep, talented squad. Siara Byers scored 16 goals in her sophomore season, a total which could rise now that North Kitsap is a member of the Olympic League.
Olympic Trojans
Coach: Steve Haggerty, 28th year
Last year: 15-3, lost in first round of state playoffs.
Top returners: Lacy Skelly, sr., F; Ali Brown sr., MF; Anndrea O'Leary, jr., MF; Brielle Kadrmas, sr., D; Audrey Pond, sr., F.
Top newcomers: Brianna Yocum, so., D; Monica Lopez, so., MF; Jalyn Halstead, fr., D; Darrien Door, jr., GK; Mariah Gallegos, jr., D.
Outlook: Graduation hit the Trojans hard as the Eagles lost three all-Olympic League first-team performers from a year ago, including co-MVP Liz Curry (now at New Hampshire), goalkeeper Pepper Fanua (Olympic College) and Rachel Haas. Haggerty said he expects of a lot of the team's play to go through O'Leary in the midfield, with Skelly and Pond providing some scoring punch. Dorr, the school's JV starter in goal a year ago, replaces Fanua.
Port Angeles Roughriders
Coach: Jennifer Petty, second year
Last year: 0-12-1
Top returners: Abbey Moseley, jr., MF; Erin Stockard, jr., MF; Baylie Clark, sr., D; Elise Reid, jr., GK; Javan Bailey, sr., MF.
Top newcomers: Kathryn Moseley, fr., F
Outlook: Port Angeles hasn't won a contest the last two seasons, so getting victory No. 1 is the team's first priority this season. Clark will anchor the team's defense, while the Moseley sisters will be counted on to provide scoring opportunities.
Kingston Buccaneers
Coach: Craig Smith, second year
Last year: 6-6-2
Top returners: Meghan Antoni, sr., MF/F; Rae Ann McConnell, sr., GK; Ashley Collins, sr., MF; Kyla Jorgensen, so., MF; Kasey Loyd, jr., D; Rachel Tafte, so., D; Jamie Schultz, jr., F.
Top newcomers: Tori Gerkin, fr., Brooke Tschida, fr., Sophia Baetz, so.
Outlook: Smith said his team is still a bit inexperienced, but not as much as last year when the first-year Buccaneers fielded mostly underclassmen. Antoni is a returning all-league performer, while Jorgensen is a gifted athlete who can play multiple positions. Last year's leading scorer, Kayla Campbell, moved to Florida.
Klahowya Eagles
Coach: Troy Oelschlager, 12th year
Last year: 12-5-1, lost in first round of state playoffs.
Top returners: Jenna Whetsel, sr., D; Jessica Drake, jr., D; Courtney Lewandowski, jr. D; Kazandra Holliday, sr., GK; Ruthie Hawley. so., MF: Rebekka Schell, jr., F; Kinzey Simcic, sr., F; Acaia Cook, so., F; Maile All, jr., D; Rocki Winkler, so.; MF.
Top newcomers: Jordan Dixon, so., MF; Rachel Lindgren, fr., D; Carly Whetsel, fr., D; Katlyn Sargent, fr., MF; Carly McElwee, jr., F
Outlook: The Eagles graduated six seniors, including Sierra Cook, who scored 26 goals last season and is now playing at Arizona State. Oelschlager said his team isn't stronger in any one area, but has skilled players at every position and more speed than the Eagles have had in a while. Schell scored 10 goals last season.
North Mason Bulldogs
Coach: Bill Beisley, second year
Last year: 8-7-1, lost in district playoffs
Top returners: Megan Beisley, sr., F; Taylor Sawyer, sr., F; Sholena Blackwell, sr., D; Heather Colson, jr., GK.
Top newcomers: Brittney Hislop, sr., MF; Amanda James, sr., F; Mariah Crider, jr., GK; Kadeance Parkhurst, sr., D; Abbey Marshall, fr., MF.
Outlook: Coach Beisley returns nearly his entire team, including a pair of college-bound players. Forward Megan Beisley has committed to Saint Martin's, while forward Taylor Sawyer has committed to Seattle Pacific. With 14 seniors in total, including Blackwell, an all-league defender last season, the Bulldogs could be the class of the Olympic 2A league.
Port Townsend Redskins
Coach: Colin Foden, second year
Last year: 7-8-1
Top returners: Claire Foden, sr., MF; Margarete Moore, sr., D; Khloe Frank, jr., MF; Brynne Gambill, jr., F.
Top newcomers: Audrey McHugh, fr., MF; Chelsey Whipple, fr., D.
Outlook: The Redskins, competing as a 1A team this season, are fairly young with only four seniors and four juniors on a roster of 22. Claire Foden scored five goals in the team's season opening win against Vashon.
Sequim Wolves
Coach: Enid Halewyn, second year
Last year: 5-9
Top returners: Anna LaBeaume, sr., D/MF; Sunma Agostine, sr., MF; Blaire Maloney, sr., MF; Jennifer Lancheros, sr., MF; Olivia Boots, sr., D; Angela Richards, sr., MF; Kyla Hall, jr., MF.
Top newcomers: Turi Anderson, jr., MF; Rachel DeWees, fr., GK.
Outlook: The Wolves lost eight seniors to graduation, but return nine seniors and five juniors.
Midfield should be area of strength with the return of Lebeaume, Agostine and Maloney.
Metro League
Bainbridge Spartans
Coach: Scott Druker, second year
Last year: 5-7-1
Top returners: Alex Mynatt, sr., F; Lauren Tyner, sr., D; Maddie Ginder, jr., MF; Melissa Hoshizaki, jr., MF; Hallie Swan, jr., MF; Haley Baker, jr., MF/F; Devon Denis, jr., GK.
Top newcomers: Kelly Crane, so., D.
Outlook: The Spartans have a strong core of juniors and will work toward being a better team defensively with Tyner and Crane leading the back line.
Nisqually League
Chimacum Cowboys
Coach: Stan Berdinner, fifth year
Last year: 6-9-1
Top returners: Holly Howton, sr., GK; Zari Haggenmiller, sr., GK; Jaime Friedrich, sr., D/MF; Ashley Kiser, sr., D; Lily Gibson, sr., D; Sarah Hanke, jr., MF/F; Samantha Benner, jr., MF/F; Sarah Browning, jr., MF/F.
Top newcomers: Hailey Beres, so; Sarah Chisick, fr.
Outlook: The Cougars have struggled with a lack of depth for the past few seasons and that doesn't change this year. But Chimacum has a strong core returning, including Haggenmiller and Howton, who have shared goalkeeping duties since they were freshmen. Defense should be strong with Friedrich, Kiser and Gibson all back. Benner had six goals and four assists last season.
Sea-Tac League Girls
King's West
Coach: Rick Nohmy, second year
Last year: 5-7-1
Top returners: Brielle Foley, sr., MF/F; Brianna Mathisen, sr., MF; Michelle Mosey, sr., D; Megan Smith, sr., D/MF; Laura Champa, so., MF; Christina Franks, so., D.
Top newcomers: Katie Anderson, so., MF/F; Breyenne Mosey, so., D; Teresa Peterson, so., F; Jordan Barton, fr., MF; Shannon Cox, fr., MF; Kylie Esselstrom, fr., GK; Cory Peterson, fr., MF/F.
Outlook: With only 13 players on the rosters — four seniors, five sophomores and four freshmen — the Warriors cannot afford injuries. Nohmy said he plans to play a defensive style in front of his freshman keeper Esselstrom. Smith is a four-year starter.
Sea-Tac League Boys
King's West
Coach: Jason Meeder, seventh year
Last year: 11-4-1, lost in district playoffs
Top returners: Andy Lee, sr., F; Drew McCullough, sr., D; Patrick McGuire, sr., D; Jordan Cooper, so., MF; Josh Kriefels, so., MF; Josh Damon, jr., MF; Eric Jeong, so., F; Chase Estes, so., MF; Josh Thompson, so., MF: Nick Olson, jr., GK.
Top newcomers: Aaron Myers, so., MF; Sam Anderson, fr., D.
Outlook: Meeder said his team's overall fitness is better than it was a year ago and the Warriors are looking to qualify for the state tournament for the first time in school history. Lee, Damon and McCullough are the team's three captains.

Peninsula Airways, operating as PenAir, is an American airline headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska.[1] It is Alaska's second largest commuter airline operating an extensive scheduled passenger and cargo service, as well as charter and medevac services. Its main base is Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, with another hub at Boston Logan International Airport in Massachusetts.[2]
In 2013 Penair received $6,363,008 in annual Federal subsidies for Essential Air Services that it provided to rural airports in Plattsburgh, New York and Presque Isle, Maine.[3]
Peninsula Airways was founded by Orin Seybert in 1955. Seybert was 19 years old, living in Pilot Point, Alaska and owned a 1946 two-seat Taylorcraft. In 1956, a four-seat Piper Tri-Pacer was added. On March 1, 1965 Peninsula Airways became incorporated and purchased the fixed base operation in King Salmon.
In 1967, Peninsula Airways became a full-time subcontractor to Reeve Aleutian Airways, meeting Reeve's certificate obligations to Chignik, Perryville and Ivanoff Bay.
In 1969, Peninsula Airways acquired all assets of Tibbetts-Herre Airmotive, which had operated from Naknek since 1950. By 1973, regular service was provided between King Salmon and the Pribilof Island communities, St. Paul and St. George. Charter service was also extended into the Aleutian Islands, Dutch Harbor, Atka and Adak, with Grumman Super Widgeons.
In 1977, two Grumman Goose aircraft were purchased from Reeve Aleutian Airways, and the sub-contract was expanded to cover all locations certificated to Reeve throughout the Alaskan Peninsula and Aleutian Islands. This required setting up an operating base at Cold Bay, with hangars, offices and employee housing.
In 1980, the Civil Aeronautics Board awarded a Part 401 Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to Peninsula Airways, and all aircraft operations were conducted under Part 135 of the Federal Air Regulations.
In 1983, Peninsula Airways acquired its first turboprop: a Cessna Conquest operated out of Cold Bay. Peninsula Airways was the first Alaskan air carrier to qualify for CAB Part 419 subsidy, allowing the airline to operate Essential Air Service routes to Atka, St. George and Kodiak Island.
In 1985, Peninsula Airways acquired all assets of Air Transport Service, Inc., based in Kodiak. Included in the deal was a hangar and office facility with approximately six aircraft and scheduled year-round service to all points on the Island. A base was established in Anchorage with two Cessna Conquest turboprops offering charter service from Anchorage to the Pribilof Islands. Scheduled service from Anchorage to King Salmon and Dillingham was added a year later.
The first Fairchild Metro was put in service in 1987 and Metros remained part of the fleet until 2011.
In 1988, several bush operators in Dillingham had their certificates revoked by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), prompting Peninsula Airways to set up an operation there. A hangar and aircraft were purchased and service to the surrounding communities began.
In 1989, Peninsula Airways was contracted by Exxon to support the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup. At the same time, a contract was awarded to Peninsula Airways by Alaska Regional Hospital to provide 24-hour medevac service. Peninsula Airways' operations were inspected and approved by Exxon Corporation, U.S. Office of Aircraft Services, U.S. Department of Defense, and two FAA NASIP "white glove" inspections.
In 1991, Peninsula Airways began doing business as PenAir and became a code-share and mileage plan partner with Alaska Airlines. PenAir transitioned to FAA Part 121 regulations in 1996, operating under both Part 135 and 121. PenAir was the first regional airline in the United States to make the 10-19 seat required conversion, including a dispatch department.
In 1997, PenAir acquired two Saab 340B aircraft and, in 1998, moved into a new hangar/office complex in Anchorage, Alaska. The airline commenced operations from Boston's Logan International Airport in 2012 after being awarded Essential Air Service routes from Logan to Bar Harbor, Maine, Plattsburgh, New York and Presque Isle, Maine.[4][5]
As of February 2015 the PenAir fleet consists of the following aircraft:
|In Service
|Saab 340B
|Saab 340A
|Saab 2000
|Orders are of used aircraft[6]
PenAir was among the very last airlines in the world to operate the venerable Grumman G-21A Goose on scheduled flights. The amphibious aircraft used to resupply remote coastal locations where no land-based airstrip exists. On December 21, 2012, the last Grumman Goose made its last flight from Unalaska to Anchorage and was officially retired from the fleet.[7]

Middle School Madness
An education in New York City.
11:00 PM, Dec 5, 2007 • By KEVIN KUSINITZ
THER WAS A BIT of contention recently over a "quiz" given to some sixth-graders in New York. In conjunction with their study of the 2008 election, the kids were asked if they agreed with the Iraq war, abortion, gay marriage, gun rights, and the death penalty. Many conservatives smelled a liberal indoctrination afoot.
As the father of a sixth grader, let me assure you: just the process of getting your kid into a New York middle school is more insufferable than any alleged political precept they'll face there.
You remember graduating from elementary school, right? You knew exactly what junior high you'd be attending in September. All you needed was to stock up on new clothes, notebooks and excuses to skip class.
Boy, I sure miss those days. Because if you're a parent in New York, you spend three months touring what they now call "middle schools." (I'm guessing that "junior high" is considered too detrimental to the adolescent psyche.) You have to apply to them, listing each choice in order from one to five--out of a possible fourteen. And only two of them are in walking distance from our apartment on the Upper East Side.
Some are out of the question--although the idea of sending my kid to Sun Yat Sen Middle School appeals to my sense of humor. If only it wasn't officially designated "SINI." That's not a new police show; it's short for "School In Need of Improvement." Mr. Sen would bow his head in shame.
If you've never been on a New York middle school tour, let me give you the rundown: they're all the same. You're herded into the auditorium, where the warm-up act--the assistant principal--answers questions before the headliner--the real principal--saunters in. The spiel is always the same: This is the greatest school in town, and if you don't put us on the top of your list, your kid will be out on the street next year.
Something else they do is share their "philosophy" of education. Picture a Krispy Kreme employee giving you his philosophy of donut making, and you get the idea. I always had the urge to ask, "Excuse me, does your 'philosophy of education' include making sure my kid learns long division, that 'i' comes before 'e', and that the United States isn't a hotbed of fascism?" but was afraid of the possible answer.
The parents are then lead around the school by the (presumably) A-students. These kids are at a rather awkward age, as you'd probably prefer to forget. The boys resemble a mash-up of Ashton Kutcher and the Piltdown Man. The girls, however, are more mature; that is, most of them are dressed like 10th Avenue hookers. And these are the good schools.
One school tour on the lower West Side was especially memorable. As I settled into the auditorium, I noticed graffiti scrawled on the seat in front of me: HUNG LIKE A HOBBIT! Oh, yeah--this is just what I want my eleven year-old daughter to see. But that kind of badinage is supposed to be irrelevant. You see, my wife's marching orders were, "When you go through the classrooms, look in the students' eyes." In other words, See if there are a lot of Asians. In New York math, many Asians = good school. Sun Yat Sen could've told you that. That's why they don't go to his lousy school.
Our tour leader, as it turns out, was an Asian boy who talked like a valley girl. You know, with that weird uptick at the end of every sentence: "This room is--our science lab? Where we do, like, experiments?" I think to myself, This is, like, the worst example of cultural influence evah?
Alright, so kids are kids. It's the education that counts, I remind myself, as we get dragged from room to room. There's a door to an English class made up to look like Edgar Allan Poe's grave. Clever, only they've spelled his middle name "Allen." Not good for an English class... We walk into a math class, where the teacher has written 6+6/2 X 2 =? on the blackboard. One student raises his hand: "Twelve." The teacher disagrees. Not good for a math teacher...
We pass by a science project that compares a cell to the thrash-metal band Linkin Park. (You don't understand? Founding member Mike Shinoda is the nucleus. Duh!) We see a project headlined "LEGACY OF SLAVERY"--the legacy being classes devoted to the legacy of slavery. Catchy phrases are written over doorways throughout the halls. One reads "INFINITE CHOICES." A dandy thought, only it looks like "INFINITE AHOLES." Definitely not a penmanship class.

Recruiters say they look beyond students' majors
By : Rachel Coker
Daren Marrom, a sophomore economics and finance major from Queens, right, speaks with alumnus Teddy Chen '99, a vice president of asset management-operations at Goldman Sachs about an internship during the spring Job and Internship Fair organized by the C
Thousands of students sporting their spiffiest clothes lined up to meet with dozens of employers during last week's Job and Internship Fair organized by the Career Development Center.
As they did, several themes emerged:
• Employers count on Binghamton to produce well-rounded students who have a passion for their disciplines.
• Students need to think creatively about which employers to target in their job searches.
• Opportunities abound, even for those with less career-oriented majors.
The job fair drew 93 employers, up from 81 last spring, including a dozen nonprofits and 10 government agencies. Roughly 2,500 students participated, said Eileen Bauer-Hagerbaumer, employer relations manager for the CDC.
Jason Rosenberg, director of planning for Bed, Bath & Beyond, was among the recruiters open to applicants from just about any major.
"We want an energetic person. That's it," he said. "Someone with communication skills, organizational skills, can get the job done."
Rosenberg noted that the fast-growing, Long Island-based company has expanded its efforts at Binghamton. The Feb. 14 event was Bed, Bath & Beyond's second time on campus, he said, adding the company is looking for new employees in buying and planning.
Jaime Sebel, a campus recruiter with Goldman Sachs and 1998 School of Management graduate, led a team of seven Binghamton alumni on hand to provide details about the firm and collect résumés from students.
"There's a misconception we're only interested in students from the School of Management," Sebel said. "One of the main things students have to have is a passion for our industry. We are open to students of all backgrounds."
Susan Kuller '84, a vice president in Information Technology with Goldman Sachs, noted that the company's technology division alone employs more than 5,000 people. Since the firm mostly creates its own applications, there are great opportunities for computer programmers.
"We do technology to support a business," Kuller said. "It's real-life problem solving."
She and Gisha Babby '00, who's also a vice president in Information Technology, noted they look for people who can work quickly and efficiently. Candidates should have teamwork, leadership and analytical skills as well as a strong technical background and an interest in finance.
Jeff Hahn, a human resources representative for Frito-Lay, and Ron McKan, an operations resource manager who earned his master's from Binghamton, both said they were impressed with the international presence at the job fair as well as the variety of majors represented.
"We want to hire you if you want to work hard," Hahn said. "I don't care about your major. If you want to learn the business and work hard, we want you. We deal so much with people. We'll teach you the rest."
Bill McCarthy, associate director of the Career Development Center, noted the fair drew a mix of upstate and downstate employers in a wide variety of fields, from Lockheed Martin to Albany Medical Center and from Deutsche Bank to the Peace Corps. Still, he said, students need to remember there are numerous avenues to explore when looking for their first job.
"This is only one tool in the job-search process," he said. "It's like advertising. You don't just put out one commercial."

Best 300$ ive spent all year
Steam ID: Pattyo121/Pat
I've been looking to pick up eternal sonata for a while now and nobody here has had it in stock, one of the ebgames(gamestop) finally had it but they are about 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back again. I didn't want to waste my gas so when my mom went out there for groceries I got her to pick it up. I get it home and I'm appalled at the cover slip, it looked like somebody set it down in a lake for a few hours. The disc itself was fine, but I had to do something about the cover.
Old cover:
Cover I printed on photo paper:
Make me a Dead Space 1 one for PS3 I hate that game every time I look at it mocking me on my shelf with a generic gamestop insert...
Halloween costume. My bro Htown is going as the horse mask, so I figured we could do a pair up type deal and I'd be this terrible penguin.
I was going to get myself a tuxedo shirt, but ehhhhh. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh. IDK. I could buy myself a real suit at Burlington Coat Factory for like $80. I guess it depends if I sell this SNES or not...gonna make upward of $200 on it so I guess I could go all out and get a suit.
