ATHENS, Ga.. - Despite its worst round of the tournament, the East Carolina men's golf team secured its first-ever berth in the NCAA Division I Championships with a second-place finish at the NCAA Athens Regional Saturday at the University of Georgia Golf Course.
The 33rd-ranked Pirates earn their first trip to the NCAA Championships after finishing among the top five teams at the regional. The NCAA Championships will be held at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., beginning May 29.
"This is a great moment for East Carolina golf," Pirate head coach Press McPhaul said. "It's the affirmation of dreaming, hard work and sacrifice that began several years ago.
"The goal has never been to to merely make it to the finals, but to go with the mindset to compete and play to win. That's how we intended to represent East Carolina University."
ECU finished the three-day, 54-hole tournament at 1-over 853 (276-281-296). Although the Pirates shot 12-over Saturday, they finished five strokes ahead of No. 10 North Florida in third-place, 11 strokes in front of No. 24 Georgia in fourth and distanced themselves by 13 strokes from No. 27 Iowa in fifth.
Top-seeded Alabama, which carries a No. 4 national ranking, captured the regional title going away, finishing 23 strokes ahead of the second-place Pirates. The Crimson Tide completed the regional at 24-under (269-276-283=828) and were the only team to shoot under-par (-1) Saturday.
Sophomore Ryan Eibner was the Pirates' low scorer. He finished tied for fourth-place at 3-under 210 (67-68-75). Senior Harold Varner finished tied for 12th at par-213, senior Adam Stephenson carded a 4-over 217 to tie for 21st. Sophomore Zach Edmondson finished tied for 29th at 6-over 219 with senior David Watkins shooting a three-round total of 11-over 224.
Practice rounds for the NCAA Championships begin Monday, May 28 with the first round of competition commencing the following day.

Bookstore FAQ
I've heard that New River now has a "virtual bookstore." What does that mean exactly?
New River has partnered with Follett Corporation, a leading national bookstore company, to provide bookstore services to all New River students. While Follett representatives will be on campus during key periods of the academic year, all bookstore services are available online or by using a phone (1-800-621-4088).
Can I still purchase books on campus?
Since the Fall 2009 semester, textbooks may be purchased online through the Bookstore web site but not on campus.
Why did New River move to an online system?
There were a number of reasons for going to an online system. Providing the lower prices students desire and improved service were the main reasons. Moving the bookstore services online created a more responsive service for students, meaning that access is more immediate and ordering procedures are more efficient. The online bookstore added the convenience of 24 hour ordering and other comprehensive services including access to more used books, eBooks when available, discounted computer products, and 24 hour online buyback.
My computer connection at home is ridiculously slow. Is there any other way?
Off line ordering is available through the virtual Bookstore's 800 phone and fax service as well as by mail.
Can my books be delivered to my P.O. Box?
Yes, by using the United States Postal System you can have them shipped to your PO Box or you can use one of the other shipping choices to have them delivered to your home. Shipping options include USPS and Fed-Ex.
How many days will it take to get my books?
The virtual bookstore offers all forms of shipping, so the choice is yours. Shipping typically takes 2-3 days, depending on the method selected. Air orders received before noon Central Standard Time will be shipped the same day. All orders are shipped within 24 hours.
Are my books going to be more expensive now that I have to pay shipping?
No. The shipping charges were included in the price of the books before and will now be separate. Students will now see a separate price for the book, and the shipping charges. In addition, there will be more used books available, significantly reducing the price of books.
Now that I can't look at the books before I buy them, just how used is "used?"
The online vendor selected offers the highest quality used books of any online book retailer. Every book passes a quality inspection which includes a check for damage, excessive marking or highlighting, and that all pages, bindings and covers are intact.
What about buyback?
End of semester buyback will still be conducted on campus. Buyback will also be available any time via the Virtual Bookstore website. A prepaid shipping label is created at the completion of online buyback so that you do not have to pay to ship the books you have sold.
How do I access my Financial Aid award on the Virtual Bookstore site?
Students who receive a financial aid award should create an account on the Virtual Bookstore site and then select the books for purchase, in order to gain access to their financial aid information. The credentials required for accessing the financial aid information are the same that you use for accessing Web Self-Service on the New River web site (which is where your course schedule and other official academic records are kept). Your 9-digit New River ID number is your username and your 6-digit date of birth is your password. Please contact the Help Desk if you need this information.
What if I can't find my Financial Aid award on the Virtual Bookstore site?
You can still purchase your books using another source for payment (credit card) and any unspent financial aid money will be paid to you in a printed check.
What is the link for the Virtual Bookstore?
The link for the Virtual Bookstore is: http://www.newriver.bkstr.com

1058: Old-Timers
Title text: You were on the internet before I was born? Well, so was I.
[edit] Explanation
A Bulletin Board System, or BBS, is an online service based on microcomputers running appropriate software. They were the precursors to modern day online forums.
The J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) is a non-profit genomics research institute founded by J. Craig Venter, Ph.D. in October 2006. Assuming the comic takes place when the comic was written, the girl on the right is at most 5 1/2 years old.
Objectively, the girl is just as bad as her conversational partner; simply being the most significant advancement in test tube babies in over two decades doesn't prove anything about your personal knowledge or experience. Subjectively, however, her reputation alone is more than enough to stun and thus "defeat" anyone who actually understands her special heritage.
The title text is another common retort from "old timers" that they have been doing X since before the younger person was born. In this case, the girl was "on the Internet" before she was born, at least in the form of her parents' genetic information.
[edit] Transcript
- [A man with a neck beard types away at his computer screen.]
- Neckbeard: (typing) Whatever, noob. I've been on the internet since the BBS days.
- Screen: Wrong.
- type type
- [A girl with buns on her head kneels on her chair, typing at a laptop on a table.]
- Buns: (typing) Before I was born, a lab took egg and sperm samples from my parents and sequenced the DNA.
- type type
- [Neckbeard sits at his desk, reading his screen.]
- Buns: (from the screen) They emailed the genome to the Venter Institute, where they synthesized the genome and implanted it into sperm and eggs which became me.
- [Buns still typing on the laptop.]
- Buns: So, no.
- Buns: You've looked at the internet.
- Buns: I've been there.

Wouldn't the heat from the servers have thawed the egg and killed her early? Davidy22[talk] 13:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- What? That... What? The egg isn't actually sent through the internet, if that's what you mean. The information from the parents' genes was taken from their proteins, encoded in digital format on the computer at the lab, sent to another lab, then re-encoded into protein format to be implanted in an egg. In that context, the egg was an entirely separate part of the process. If you mean the egg would have been thawed by the people at the Venter institute holding the egg up next to the servers, unprotected, while they implanted the synthesized genome (or the people at the lab doing the same thing with the unfertilized egg while sequencing the DNA), that's... well, simply not how that works. As for "killed her early": I'm not sure of a good way to start asking what you mean by that. As opposed to killing her at the intended time? As opposed to killing the unfertilized egg before they could sequence the DNA? Or even killing the physical egg while it was somehow being transported via the internet? JET73L (talk) 11:07, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
To me the title text seems to be referencing something completely different, as it seems to be coming from Neckbeard, to Buns, saying that he was on the internet before he was born as well, possibly in the form of pornography while his mother was pregnant. Just my idea. Tyman2651 (talk) 20:43, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- I was thinking along those lines, except maybe the conception was on the Internet. lol 184.108.40.206 21:26, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

An 18-year-old Stuttgart man is facing two misdemeanor charges after wrecking his vehicle and hitting a fire hydrant in the 2100 block of Strait Place Tuesday.
According to the Stuttgart Police Department, officers responded to the area at 11:04 p.m. and found a 1998 GMC in a ditch after the driver left the roadway and struck a fire hydrant. The driver was sitting in the driver seat.
"He stated that someone had put window chalk on his windshield and he couldn't see through it," SPD Ptl. William Basore wrote in his incident report that was released Wednesday. The driver told the officer he did not need medical attention, and Basore then smelled what he thought was alcohol. The man first denied drinking.
The Stuttgart Fire Department was called to the scene because the impact caused the fire hydrant lean. Additional officers were called to the scene including SPD Ptl. Luke Bethell, who asked the driver a second time if he had been drinking.
"He then admitted that he had some beer," Bethell said.
The officer gave the man three field sobriety tests. The driver gave clues on each test that indicated he had been drinking, and he was transported to the Stuttgart Police Department where he was given a Breathalyzer test. The final result was .10, which is over the legal Arkansas limit of .08.
The man was placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated and signal 9/10 hit and run or private property damage.

Spyder LED Tail Lights
Featured LED Tail Lights Products
LEDs actually do have a lot going for them. It is only with the arrival of the LEDs that the many drawbacks of the incandescent bulbs began to be realized. For example the incandescent bulbs have a shorter life time compared to LEDs. They also consume more power than LEDs, since LEDs give out cold light there is less energy going waste as heat. And from a design and style perspective incandescent bulbs are a single point light source, whereas LEDs can form beautiful clusters of multiple light sources that give greater freedom to come up with dazzling new designs. And finally another great things about Spyder LED tail lamp is that they are not expensive.
And you can be sure that the car components industry has exploited the advantages offered by LEDs to the hilt. You will find bright and beautiful tail lights that set the night ablaze with their performance. They also make your driving at night safer because your car gets noticed more easily. This is particularly useful when the visibility is poor say due to a fog or heavy rain and you depend on your tail lights to let the driver of the car following yours know where your car is.

Photon is a spin-1 particle. Were it massive, its spin projected along some direction would be either 1, -1, or 0. But photons can only be in an eigenstate of $S_z$ with eigenvalue $\pm 1$ (z as the momentum direction). I know this results from the transverse nature of EM waves, but how to derive this from the internal symmetry of photons? I read that the internal spacetime symmetry of massive particles are $O(3)$, and massless particles $E(2)$. But I can't find any references describing how $E(2)$ precludes the existence of photons with helicity 0.
It derives not from the internal symmetry itself but from the fact that it is a gauge symmetry.
Your symmetry group assignements are not those of the symmetry group but of the little group of the representation. If you assume in addition that the representation is irreducible, you end up in the massless case (with little group E(2)) with a helicity representation, which picks up from a vector representation only the transversal part, corresponding to a gauge symmetry.
This is described in full detail in the quantum field theory book (part I) by Weinberg.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsApril 2, 2014
Bentley University is spearheading a research-based, dialogue-driven initiative known as the PreparedU Project that is sparking a national discourse among key stakeholders to define work force preparedness and determine how these groups can successfully prepare college graduates for today's work force.
"There is a disconnect between what hiring organizations want and what Millennials expect," says Susan Brennan, Bentley's executive director of corporate relations and career services.
The initiative, Brennan explains, is seeking to bridge this gap in a way that the groups collectively understand the nuances of the issue from all of the stakeholders' perspectives and work together to develop effective solutions.
The foundation of the project is Bentley University's Millennial Preparedness Study, which was conducted in the fall of 2013 and fielded more than 3,100 responses from various stakeholders, including:
Bentley took a look at preliminary results at the end of November with Bloomberg—a major business partner with Bentley on the PreparedU Project—during the media company's Business Summit in Chicago. Led by Bentley University President Gloria Larson and Bloomberg's "Taking Stock" co-host Carol Massar, the discussion featured Shama Kabani, founder and CEO of the Marketing Zen Group, and PayScale president and CEO Mike Metzger, who discussed what it means for college graduates to be prepared, the value of Millennials in the workplace, and how colleges and business can better work together to prepare graduates for their careers.
During the full launch on January 29, 2014, at Bloomberg Media's New York City headquarters, Larson released the final survey results and analysis, and co-hosted a panel discussion with Massar that featured Metzger; David Burstein, millennial writer and filmmaker; Scott Jaschik, editor of Inside Higher Ed; and Alexandra Levit, workplace author and consultant.
The Preparedness Study found many gaps. For instance, 51 percent of business decision-makers give the business community a "C" or lower on how well they are preparing students for their first jobs, yet 60 percent of recent college graduates blame themselves for their lack of preparedness, indicating that Millennials believe they can do more to prepare themselves for success in the workplace.
Gaps are evident elsewhere. High school students, college students, and recent college graduates are not recognizing certain key elements that employers say contribute to preparedness. Twenty-three percent of business decision-makers and 18 percent of corporate recruiters say preparedness is defined by "work ethic," compared to 9 percent of college students and 7 percent of high school students.
Meanwhile, in other areas, there is agreement.
"There is remarkable congruence with some things [the respondents] saw in terms of issues and solutions," says Victor Schlitzer, director of brand and content marketing at Bentley University.
For example, the survey presented 16 solutions to the issue of work force preparedness that, Bentley says, "set the stage for change and offer promising next steps."
The highest-scoring solution among the groups—both with 94 percent of respondents agreeing to them—were:
"These solutions have become one of the things we are using to leverage engagement and offer greater awareness of the possibilities that exist," Schlitzer notes.
In addition to its key role in the PreparedU Project, Bentley University's career services office conducted its own research to see what its employers want in the students they recruit.
"In advance of the [Millennial Preparedness Study], the career services office launched its own 'PreparedU' with our recruiters to really understand what 'prepared' looks like, the competencies involved, and the value to employers," Brennan says. "We then combined our findings with the broader research from the Millennial Preparedness Study to tie into our four-year program for Bentley students in which students explore, experiment, experience, and excel on their way to entering the work force."
The goal of both initiatives is to engage the various stakeholders to work together to close the skills gap and ensure college students are better prepared to enter the work force.

? Campaigning for all jobs to be greener and have a living wage
? Developing greener job policy and practice
? Creating leadership in London on green jobs
? Supporting new green enterprises
? Developing a pilot project that aims to work in partnership with employers, training providers and other support agencies in the formation of a ?green jobs pipeline? Principles
Our work is shaped by two basic principles: 1. Equal opportunities for all ? greener jobs and training like everything else must provide opportunities for everyone
2. Equity for people and planet ? greener jobs and training must support social and environmental justice locally, nationally and globally
To achieve the stated aim of the transition to a green economy we make the following recommendations to the Rio+20 compilation document: The transition to a green economy must be based on:
1. Equalities ? Many of the potential green growth areas like construction and engineering do not adequately reflect the potential workforce. The under-representation in apprenticeships and employment in these sectors must be addressed to ensure access to job opportunities by all disadvantaged groups. A recognition that climate change and energy prices will hit the poorest sections of society hardest.
2. Fair and decent jobs ? The move to a green economy must be based on fair wages and decent terms and conditions of employment. These should include opportunities for career progression, and rights to health and safety and Trade union recognition.
3. Co-ordination and coherence ? The current policy is characterised by short-termism and uncertainty that is hampering progress. Stimulating demand for jobs and training requires a long term strategic approach in areas like low carbon sector incentives, and procurement policies.
4. Communication and engagement strategy - Partnerships across civil society at global, national and local level are needed to promote training, job opportunities and inclusiveness.
5. A Just Transition ? Workers and communities must be consulted about the opportunities and threats to employment in each sector of the economy. Provision to re-train and up-skill in good time must be built in to all jobs and sectors at risk from a transition to a green economy.
The East London Green Jobs Alliance welcomes comments on the content of this proposal. Please email comments to: firstname.lastname@example.com

Rated 5 out of 5 by JamieB A beautiful scent Since receiving Champaka as a gift years ago, I am hooked. We only buy and burn this incense in our home. I would describe it as the feminine sister of the more widely used Nag Champa. It's in the same family, but more complex and a little sweet. Guests always remark on how nice it smells.

Tailormade Kenya Highlights
Kenya's wildlife highlights
The Masai Mara deserves its reputation as Kenya's premier wildlife park – where lions, leopards and cheetahs track down elephants, zebras and a myriad of game. Observe the action from a private vehicle - the best way to get close to the wildlife and enjoy your safari experience; having your own mini-van is quieter and much better for photography. This itinerary also takes you to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, home to vast numbers of pink flamingoes, and Samburu National Reserve.
Enriching tailormade journeys – for you
This bespoke journey features some of our favourite spots in Kenya. You can choose to take our destination experts' recommendations and travel just as you see the itinerary here, or contact us to add your own special touches; maybe a relaxing beach stay at Mombasa or upgrade to a 4WD safari.

Seeing, touching and smelling feet all day would not be the career choice of a podophobic, but throw professional athletes in the mix, and it's a whole new ball game, complete with giant Nikes and twisted ankles.
It takes a love of feet and lots of know-how to handle a foot on the NBA scale, and Utah Jazz podiatrist Dr. Michael Lowe has decades of experience under his belt.
"They just called up one day and asked if I was interested," he says.
He's been courtside at home games ever since, attending to both our guys and members of the opposing team.
Dr. Lowe has seen the team through 33 seasons, three trainers and four coaches in his 36 years of practicing podiatry. In all this experience, what he's found is not surprising: Athletes owe a lot to a good pair of shoes.
"We've seen lots of injuries just from shoe gear that isn't giving support anymore, and that develops stress to the foot that can go on to a fracture, plantar fasciitis or tendonitis," Lowe says. "They play with such a level of intensity that a lot of times they don't realize they've hurt themselves."
Because of intense wear on the shoes and the importance of good foot support, the team's starters get a brand new pair of shoes at least weekly, and some even replace shoes every few days. "It's common that rookies come to camp and in college they got a brand new pair of shoes at the beginning of the season, midway through the season and, if they play in a tournament, at the end of the season," Lowe says. "So they have an equivalent of probably 3,000 miles on a basketball shoes. We like them to have no more than 150 to 200 miles maximum."
Of course, when he's not overseeing foot injuries at the EnergySolutions Arena, he runs his own practice downtown. And although every one of his patients—on the court or off—receives the best of his care, the attention he gives the athletes is just a little different.
"I have to be able to help the athlete get better faster because they can't afford to take off six or eight weeks to rest," he says. "And if I make mistakes, I don't want to read about it in the paper."
Although his job feeds the players' desires to play at any cost, he also has to protect them from their own wills.
"John Stockton would play through almost any injury if we'd let him," Lowe says. "There was a game back East when he got so ill with the flu that [the coach] told him to stay in the hotel. When the team got to the arena to start the game, he had taken a cab there so he could still play."
But it's obvious the risk is worth the reward. "There's a lot of different ways to get hurt in basketball, but it's been a fun experience," he says. "It's very satisfying to get people better so they can appreciate using a body pain-free and be able to enjoy what they work so hard to do."

text: Guys, I don't know Stan. I have heard good things about him BUT how can you defend the behavior? Almost everyone has said the same: He's an artist, He gets it done on HIS schedule, it always takes longer than promised, he's not a customer service guy…and so on. Well I'm an artist too, and I can assure you I cannot get by with that and make a living. Money is too tight and there are too many people fighting for the dollar to put up with that crap. If you're OK with rude behavior, lack of communication and failure to deliver as promised, then more power to you, and him. The rest of us can choose not to and have every right to "post it" when you fail to deliver. I don't have a dog in the hunt but after hearing all this, I think I'll send any future builds somewhere else.

Unrefined Avocado oil will have flavor that is more prominent than its refined counterpart. It has a medium smoke point and therefore better suited for lower heat applications or unheated applications such as dipping oil or vinaigrettes. It can also be substituted for butter, shortening or margarine. Among other things, Avocado Oil contains lecithin and potassium, making it highly beneficial in skin care products.

Panama City - It's estimated between twenty-two and twenty-three thousand veterans live in Bay County. Recent statistics show one out of every six returning vets have feelings of depression or post traumatic stress. But there is a place for them to go for help, the Bay County Veterans Center in Lynn Haven specializes in counseling services.
Vietnam veteran Allen Colvin says the psychologist and the support group he meets with at the veterans center have helped him tremendously. Colvin says he suffered from post traumatic stress disorder for 35 years before he got the help he needed to deal with the symptoms. He says he now feels far less rage. "I met with Greg Bozeman, the psychologist, my psychologist and he got me into group and it's helped immensely, you know, compared to what it used to be. They just try to help everybody. We have people from World War II in our group, the Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It's for all veterans to come. What happens in group stays in group. It's a good thing," said Colvin.
The Bay County Veterans Center is located at 3109 Minnesota Avenue, suite 101. That's off of Highway 77 near Haney Technical Center. The phone number is 522-6102.

We placed the map in our dining room. It is a great conversation starter. Had hard time figuring out the paste but we did it. Requires patience and taking your time to align the 2 seams of the 3 map sections. It is absolutely beautiful! Nice, soothing colors (earth-toned). Our friends liked it so much, so I just placed another order for Christmas gift for them.Thank you Nat Geo!

Get to know: FOXY SHAZAM
Video: "A Dangerous Man"
Foxy Shazam is an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio that formed in 2004. The band name originated from a term that was used by the students at singer Eric Sean Nally's high school which was a slang for "cool shoes." On February 7, 2010, their single "Unstoppable" was featured in Super Bowl XLIV.
Many media outlets compare the band to Queen and Meat Loaf because of their use of theatrics and over-the-tops lyrics. The band themselves have noted the similarities but believe that they are just all influenced by the same things. It's not always music that influences the band, it could even be a smell that triggers a memory.
Nally has said an album that influenced him was Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. The magazine, Alternative Press, has compared the band to bands like Queen, My Chemical Romance, and the Darkness while also believing that the band has a very unique sound that should best be seen live.

Clint Bowyer is hoping that he has to pull double duty this weekend in his No. 15 Charter Toyota.
Ty Dillon (#3 Bass Pro Shops/NRA Museum Chevrolet Camaro) had the best 10-lap consecutive average speed in the first practice for the XFINITY Series Subway Firecracker 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
Erik Jones (#20 DEWALT FLEXVOLT Toyota Camry) led the first practice session for the XFINITY Series Subway Firecracker 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
Michael McDowell finished 15th in the Daytona 500, which made him one of the better fantasy values this spring. In the Geico 500 at Talladega SuperSpeedway, he barely missed sweeping the top 20 with a result of 21st.
Kyle Busch is the only driver to finish in the top five in both plate races this season. He was third in the Daytona 500 and second in the Geico 500 at Talladega SuperSpeedway.
Ryan Blaney has a pair of top-10s on the restrictor-plate Talladega SuperSpeedway, but on the sister Daytona International Speedway he is still seeking his first top-15.
Landon Cassill is batting 0.500 in his last four starts on restrictor-plate, superspeedways in regard to top-15s. He finished 11th this May at Talladega SuperSpeedway and was 13th in last year's edition of the Coke Zero 400.
Bobby Labonte inherited the No. 32 ride on restrictor-plate, superspeedways from his brother Terry and he has done fairly well in it. In six previous starts in that car his best result was a 19th this May on Talladega SuperSpeedway. The Coke Zero 400 will mark his lucky seventh start for Frank Stoddard.
Alex Tagliani (No. 18 EpiPen/Riobel/Complexe JCP/Juste du Chevrolet) has three wins, six poles and 12 top 10s in 36 career NASCAR Pinty's Series starts.
Andrew Ranger (No. 27 Mopar/Pennzoil Dodge) the 2007 and 2009 NASCAR Pinty's Series champion and after his season opening win at CTMP holds the record for all-time wins with 20 and tied for first in poles (17).
Cayden Lapcevich (No. 76 Fastline Motorsports Dodge) has made nine career starts in the NASCAR Pinty's Series and recorded his career-best second-place finish twice in the past two races at Sunset Speedway on June 18th and last Friday at Chaudiere.
Kevin Lacroix (No. 74 Bumper To Bumper/Total/Go Fast Dodge) recorded two wins in seven starts during his debut season in 2015.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AquaCancTaur So Tasty So full of coconutty flavor! The little bits of coconut offer tiny bites of crunch as they crisp up when making the pancakes. Great texture contrast to the fluffy pancakes. December 23, 2012

Demilitarizing Your Military Resume for a Civilian Career
by Adrienne Erin - Feb, 2015
You might be an 0311 — ground pounder — in the United States Marine Corps for eight years. Maybe you're a Navy Corpsman, with more field experience than any hospital internship could have ever provided. Or perhaps you're a Gunnery Sergeant, training new recruits from dawn to, well, dawn. Leaving the military can be as much of a culture shock as enlisting. But don't worry; your military resume will transfer to a civilian car...

Joe Quits His Job: A Cautionary Tale of Transition
by Emily King - Apr, 2012
This is a true story. A career military officer – let's call him Joe for simplicity's sake – retires after 20 years of service with a valuable and highly marketable skill set. Joe receives several offers early in his job search. He accepts one based on his interest in the work, the small size of the company (that would allow him to grow with it), and salary among other factors. Two months into his employment Joe is happy with...
What Every Job-Searching Veteran Needs to Know
by Miriam Salpeter - Feb, 2012
Making a career change isn't easy. You need to showcase why you are qualified for the targeted job, even if your past experiences do not identically match the employer's requirements. Most employers are not familiar with military service, positions, jargon, or acronyms, so it can be even more challenging for veterans to make a strong case. What can job-seeking veterans do to help transition into civilian positions? Identif...
Veterans Helping Veterans: LinkedIn Tips for Job Seekers Who Have Served

So, when I sat down to write a blog post to help job seekers with military backgrounds, I decided to follow my own advice.

This is a critical consideration throughout every phase of writing your resume and conducting your job search. Clearly define your objectives, identify the skills and qualifications you'...

Abandoned Farmhouse
He was a big man, says the size of his shoes

He was a big man, says the size of his shoes
on a pile of broken dishes by the house;
a tall man too, says the length of the bed . . .
A queer thing about those waters: there are no
Birds there, or hardly any.
I did not miss them, I do not remember
Missing them, or thinking it uncanny. . . .
The hounds, you know them all by name.
You fostered them from purblind whelps
At their dam's teats, and you have come . . .
Yes. I remember Adlestrop—
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat the express-train drew up there . . .
Love not too much. But how,
When thou hast made me such,
And dost thy gifts bestow, . . .
Because I have come to the fence at night,
the horses arrive also from their ancient stable.
They let me stroke their long faces, and I note . . .
One night, not long after the disaster,
as our train was passing Astor,
the car door opened with a shudder . . .
Some day, when trees have shed their leaves
And against the morning's white
The shivering birds beneath the eaves . . .
When I know you are coming home
I put on this necklace:
glass beads on a silken thread, . . .
Be perfect, make it otherwise.
Yesterday is torn in shreds.
Lightning's thousand sulfur eyes . . .

That's A Wrap: Beti Bike Bash 2013

That's A Wrap: Beti Bike Bash 2013
You think you know how great something is. And then you do it a third time. And it's better than ever. That's how it was at the Beti Bike Bash on Sunday; completely better than ever.
The Beti's continue to put on a first class event. This year they added a 'Never Ever' category. I'm proud (and humbled) to say that five of my friends raced in this category. And they finished strong! Those friends lined up with 41 other Never Evers! This year boasts 300 racers total! Of course the pros were out in full force; Georgia Gould, Erin Huck, Teal Stetson-Lee, Judy Freeman, Heather Irmiger and so many more.
If you've never raced the Beti Bike Bash bookmark their site right now. Because you don't want to miss out. I am not overstating this when I say it's the most fun, the coolest, the best organized and the raddest thing you will want to do in 2014. The race is incredible. I know you may find this hard to believe but I truly feel that it can be a game changer. It can propel you. It shows you what you're made of. It shows you how strong you are and how capable you are and just how amazing you are. To paraphrase Larry Grossman as he called the race, lining up is hard. It's one thing to sign up but to line up for a mountain bike race, especially if you are a 'Never Ever', that is tough. Cause guess what? It is hard. It can be scary. It can be intimidating. But it is great.
How did I place? Well, I raced in the Sport Cat which means I'm not a beginner and I'm far from an expert. I placed 9th out of 22. I was a minute 42 seconds off 3rd place (podium spot). Not that I'm counting. Very respectable. Very happy. I don't race to win. If I did I'd never race because I've never won. Not in the approximate 30 short track races, the 1 Winter Park race and the 3 Beti Bike Bash races. The only race I've "won" was at Valmont and I was the only woman in my age and category. I guess that counts. Barely.
Take away: What will you do this year that will push yourself? What can you do to get another woman (or girl) to the start line? Will you only try something if you might win? Let me know what you come up with. Can't wait to hear all about it. See you at the Beti Bike Bash in 2014!

Well that is unfortunate. They did have day of race registration going strong. My 8 year old raced, participated in the Little Bella 2-day camp and got to chat with Georgia Gould. This was an awesome event! My wife was in the Sport class, daughter in the Little Bella's, my son got to do the little kids race and I got to demo the new SRAM XX1.

Great seeing this event bring new female faces into the sport every year and that attendees always have positive things to say. A big part of eventually seeing full women's fields in races is positive first impressions. Another opportunity with a similar vibe and same organizer is the Beti AllRide Clinic (http://www.betiallrideclinic.com) June 22 and 23rd at Keystone. I'll be up there doing photography, so say hi if you sign up!

@PtonMensTennis Wins Fifth Straight, Defeats Stony Brook 7-0
Princeton's men's tennis team won its fifth straight match Friday afternoon, defeating Stony Brook 7-0 to come within one match of sweeping a six-match homestand.

The current winning streak matches a five-match run Princeton had last year. In 2011, Princeton had its last six-match win streak.
Princeton (8-3) will host St. John's (1-9) Saturday at 5 p.m. on the indoor courts in Jadwin Gym to complete the three-weekend homestand.

Filmmaker James Benning will present two of his acclaimed films Monday at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts.
Of particular interest to Utahns, "Casting a Glance" is a documentary about the aesthetic changes to the iconic land art sculpture "Spiral Jetty," created by the late Robert Smithson. It will be screened at 7 p.m. in the University of Utah Fine Arts Auditorium, in the Film and Media Arts Building.
The Utah Museum of Fine Art last year joined with the Great Salt Lake Institute at Westminster College and the Dia Foundation in New York to protect and promote the Spiral Jetty, which is located on the northern arm of the Great Salt Lake.
Benning will also screen "Two Cabins" at the UMFA's auditorium on Monday at 2:15 p.m. For "Two Cabins," Benning reconstructed Henry David Thoreau's and unibomber Ted Kaczynski's iconic cabins to explore utopian and dystopian versions of social isolation. You gotta ask yourself, which of these guys is squirrelier?

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
Transplanting Vegetables
by National Gardening Association Editors
Before You Get Started
Here are some general guidelines on setting your transplants into the garden.
- Harden off plants. Be sure to harden off indoor- or greenhouse-grown transplants before planting in the garden. This should be done over the course of a week or two. On the first day, place plants outdoors in a sheltered spot for an hour or two. Choose a location in light shade and protected from strong winds. The next day, increase the amount of time and exposure slightly, and continue to increase every day until you are leaving the plants out in full sun and overnight.
- Transplant on a cloudy day. Avoid transplanting during a heat wave; intense sun can harm newly planted transplants. If you must plant on a sunny day, wait until evening.
- Don't crowd plants. Remember that those small transplants will get much larger over the course of the summer! Overcrowded plants are more susceptible to disease problems, and will be less productive than properly spaced plants.
- Prepare the garden soil. Loosen soil to a depth of at least 12 inches, and mix in some organic matter such as compost or aged manure.
- Work quickly. The less time the transplants' rootballs are left exposed, the better. Have everything you need at hand before you remove the plants from their pots.
- Wait until the proper planting time. Cool-season crops like broccoli and cabbage can be set out a week or two before the average last frost date. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, on the other hand, are heat-loving plants, so wait until after your average last frost date to move transplants into the garden, and be prepared to cover plants with fabric or plastic if a cold snap threatens.
Transplanting Tomatoes
Following is a step by step guide to transplanting tomatoes. These guidelines can be used for any plant, with one exception: All plants other than tomatoes should be set in the ground at the same depth that they were growing in the container.
Begin by soaking the rootball in a dilute fertilizer solution. Set the pots in a waterproof tray, and pour in a half-strength, lukewarm solution of fertilizer (preferably fish emulsion- or seaweed-based) to a depth of about one inch. The moisture will help keep the rootball intact, and the fertilizer will get the plants off to a good start. Let the plants soak for at least half an hour, while you assemble your materials and prepare the planting area.
Next, dig the planting holes. It's a good idea to use a yardstick or measuring tape to be sure you're spacing plants properly. Avoid the temptation to squeeze in a few extra plants. Pour some water into the planting holes to moisten the soil.
Remove a plant from its container by placing one hand over the soil surface, so that the plant is positioned between your thumb and fingers. Turn the pot upside down, and rap gently on the bottom of the container. Hopefully, the root ball will slide right out. If it doesn?t, try squeezing the container, rapping harder on the bottom, or, as a last resort, cutting away the container.
If the plant is growing in a peat pot, there's no need to remove the pot. However, it's a good idea to tear away the top rim of the peat pot down to the soil line. If the peat pot is exposed to air, it can wick moisture away from the root ball.

The February issue of Salt Lakemagazine features slow cooking comfort food in the On the Table section. Here's one of our favorites from the section by Meditrina's Amy Britt. The issue is on newsstands now.
Coq means Rooster, and that's a clue to the nature of this dish—a tough old rooster requires long, slow cooking. These days, it's most often made with chicken, browned then braised in red wine (traditionally Burgundy, but not necessarily), mushrooms, salt pork, onions and garlic.
12-15 small cipollini onions 4 chicken thighs and legs, or 1 large chicken, cut into serving pieces Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup flour 8 oz. slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips 20-30 medium-sized cremini mushrooms 3/4 cup brandy 11/2 (750-ml) bottles red Burgundy 3 Tbsp. tomato paste 1 medium onion, roughly chopped 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped 2 medium carrots, roughly chopped 8-10 cloves garlic bundle of fresh thyme 2 cups chicken stock 1/4 cup butter
Step 1: Slowly cook the bacon in a big saute pan over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside in the same pan and fat, saute the onions and mushrooms. Remove from the pan and store in the fridge until ready for use.
Step 2: Season the chicken on all sides. Place it into a big plastic bag with the flour and shake to coat it well. Brown chicken in the same bacon fat (you may need to add some olive oil) until deep golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a large enameled cast-iron pot.
Step 3: Pour off any remaining fat and deglaze the pan with the brandy and 2 cups of the wine. Reduce by half. Pour this into the pot along with the chicken, stock, tomato paste, onion, carrots, celery, garlic and thme. Add remaining wine. The chicken should be almost covered.
Step 4: Place the chicken (and the entire enameled cast iron pot) in the oven at 274 to 325 degrees and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is tender enough to fall off the bone. Make sure the chicken remains at a low simmer- no more.
Step 5: Remove cooked chicken and keep it in a warm oven. Strain the sauce to remove the vegetables, then pour it in the pot and reduce by half. Add the bacon, onions and mushrooms and heat. Off-heat, whisk in the butter a little at a time. Add chicken.

Chilean lawyer works to get wanted lieutenant living in Deltona extradited for trial
Published: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 5:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 6:46 p.m.
A human rights lawyer in Santiago, Chile, confirmed Friday that a judicial official is seeking the extradition of a former military lieutenant charged with murder who now lives in Deltona.
Gen. Augusto Pinochet
1973: Pinochet rose through the Chilean military ranks and was appointed commander-in-chief by Salvador Allende, who did not know Pinochet and CIA were plotting to overthrow him. On Sept. 11, Pinochet overthrows the democratically elected Allende. Over the next few years more than 3,000 supporters of the Allende regime were killed.
1989 Pinochet loses to a Christian Democrat candiate.
1998 Pinochet arrested in London in March on a request by judges investigating the torture and disappearance of Spanish citizens during Pinochet's period in power.
2001 After a prolonged extradtion, the Chilean courts decide to suspend the investigation on grounds of Pinochets "dementia."
2006 Pinochet dies Dec. 10.
Reached by telephone at his office in Santiago on Friday, Nelson Caucoto said a magistrate has asked the Supreme Court in Chile to request extradition of Pedro Pablo Barrientos, 64. Barrientos served in the army of U.S.-backed dictator Augusto Pinochet, who overthrew Salvador Allende's democratically elected government in 1973.
A magistrate has issued an international arrest warrant for Barrientos to Interpol, Caucoto said.
Barrientos is charged in the killing of famous Chilean singer Victor Jara during an interrogation 40 years ago.
Barrientos was not at his Brady Drive home Friday. In news reports, he has denied the charges and, in a report Barrientos filed last month with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, stated the FBI has cleared him in Jara's death.
Jara was a popular singer, theater director and university professor who was rounded up with his students and tortured inside Estadio (Stadium) Chile, now named the Estadio Victor Jara.
Caucoto is spearheading efforts along with Joan Jara, Victor Jara's widow, to have Barrientos extradited to Chile after evidence surfaced in an investigation by a court magistrate there, he said.
Today, Barrientos lives at 1584 Brady Drive in Deltona and is the only one of eight former army lieutenants charged in the killing of Jara who has not been arrested, The Associated Press reported.
Neighbor Abigail Vasquez said he is shocked to learn a wanted man is living nearby.
"They look like nice people always going to church. I guess looks are deceiving," Vasquez said.
Vasquez said Barrientos and some other people went back and forth working on the fixer-upper home that had been abandoned for some time. Barrientos and his family recently moved to the home after purchasing it last April in a distress sale for $25,000.
"They are people who keep to themselves," Vasquez said.
On Dec. 31, Barrientos filed a report with the Sheriff's Office claiming he has received death threats by email from another country. In the report, Barrientos said he used to be a lieutenant in the military in Chile. He told deputies that while he was an officer in the military, a famous singer from their country was murdered but he was cleared of any wrongdoing by FBI agents and Chilean authorities, the report states. An FBI agent would not comment on the case.
Barrientos is listed as the registered agent for Negocios Generales MYK Inc., a Chile-based company that imports goods from the United States.
The business had a Winter Springs address but that changed in July 2012. The Florida Department of State's Division of Corporations shows Barrientos moved the business to the Brady Drive address.
Caucoto believes Chile's Supreme Court will make a decision soon on Barrientos' extradition.
Although the military has not been forthcoming with information, the judicial investigation into the case has resulted in death-squad conscripts — drafted soldiers — divulging some information about the killing of Victor Jara, Caucoto said.
"There were 44 bullet impacts on Victor Jara's body," Caucoto said. "Moreover, the ballistics tests also support the case. There is a bullet that was recovered from the base of the skull of Victor Jara that did not come from rifles or weapons used by the conscripts," Caucoto said. "The bullet is from a side arm used only by lieutenants or army officers, a pistol."
Caucoto said it is believed that the single shot to the skull knocked Jara to the ground and he was subsequently fired upon with machine guns.
"The importance of this case is to show at a world level, that in Chile there have been changes and we will prosecute these types of crimes," Caucoto said. "It was not imaginable 39 years ago that we would have been able to investigate these horrendous crimes that have taken so long to come to light."
Once a decision is made by Chile's Supreme Court, the country's minister of the exterior will make a request to President Barack Obama's office to have Barrientos extradited, he said. Chile and the United States have an extradition treaty.
"The opinion of President Obama in the case would be very important and significant," Caucoto said.

The ANC is a national liberation movement. It was formed in 1912 to unite the African people and spearhead the struggle for fundamental political, social and economic change.
The ANC's key objective is the creation of a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic society.
This means the liberation of Africans in particular and black people in general from political and economic bondage. It means uplifting the quality of life of all South Africans, especially the poor.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.
