Battle just beginning for college grads
Margaret Treacy is looking for a job.
She'll be among a legion of mid-Hudsonites marching down the aisle this weekend to fetch college diplomas they hope will do more than decorate a wall.
Treacy graduates Saturday with a bachelor's in communications from Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh. She's done what it takes to land a job, judging from the advice of career counselors at The Mount, SUNY Orange and SUNY New Paltz: Get a paid internship, brighten up the resume, master social media and network, network, network.
"I've had a couple of interviews so far," said Treacy, who lives in Monroe and interns at the Orange County Chamber of Commerce. "It's a long process. They want to have several interviews and also interview other people."
Job prospects for the Class of 2013 are far from encouraging. Consider a recent report by the Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank in Washington, D.C.:
Cassie Rosina was among an estimated 2,000 people attending the Orange County Job Fair on Wednesday at the Galleria at Crystal Run. She got her bachelor's degree in psychology from Mount Saint Mary in December.
"It's a bad job market," said Rosina, who lives in Goshen. "I'm working as a sales associate ... . We're definitely underemployed, fighting for jobs, going against people with GEDs."
She's thinking of enrolling in law school. "Ideally, I'd like to work for a big corporation that would help with school," she said.
Sarah Otterstedt, a 36-year-old mother of three, thought studying nursing at SUNY Orange would quickly equip her for a job. That was true a few years ago, but not now. Most hospitals want bachelor's degrees.
"So many of our nursing students are going on for four-year degrees," said Petra Wege-Beers, SUNY Orange's director of career and internship services.
That's Otterstedt's plan, too, after she graduates on Saturday.
"At first it was go to school for two years and get a job, but now it's not that way," said Otterstedt, a former Warwick resident who lives in Park Ridge, N.J.
The hottest jobs now are in accounting, engineering and computer science, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers of Bethlehem, Pa., a connector between campus recruiters and career services professionals. A report by the association this month found that slightly more than half of the Class of 2013's seniors with those majors have jobs waiting for them after graduation.
The slow economic recovery has left employers polled by the association planning to hire just 2 percent more new graduates this year than last, a nearly 11 percent drop from what they predicted late last year.
Career service centers at colleges offer students lessons in resume-writing and interviewing skills. They connect them with internships and run career fairs. Some even tutor students on which foods to eat when dining with a potential employer — avoid messy chicken wings — and urge holding drinks in the left hand so the right one stays dry for introductory shakes.
"The students with the most skills will have the best chance to find jobs, because employers can afford to be highly selective," said Ellen Bourhis Nolan, director of career development at Mount Saint Mary.
As for Treacy, the Chamber of Commerce intern, she approaches the job market optimistically.
"Yes, it's rough," she said, "but if you show your passion, show that you want it, you'll have no problem."

Fact Box
Hiring improves in April
Hiring picked up in the mid-Hudson and across New York state last month, driving down the unemployment rate to the lowest level since March 2009, according to data released Thursday by the state Labor Department.
Ulster County's private-sector employment totaled 46,300 in April, up 1,200 from a year before. The metro area made up of Orange and Dutchess counties added 4,600 private-sector jobs in the past year, for a total of 204,500. The largest gains in both areas came in leisure and hospitality.
Sullivan County's private-sector job count fell 100 to 18,700.
Private sector gains were partly offset by cuts to government employment, including schools. Ulster shed 500 government jobs in the past year, and the Orange-Dutchess area lost 1,400.
The state jobless rate fell to 7.8 percent in April, down from 8.2 percent in March and the lowest level since March 2009. Local rates will be released Tuesday.

College Hockey:Young And Old Pace Bemidji State
BEMIDJI, Minn. — Bemidji State rode big performances from a pair of true freshmen and got its expected production from its senior class en route to a 5-2 victory over the Ferris State Bulldogs.
True freshmen Blaine Jarvis and Matt Pope each scored a goal and an assist, becoming the first BSU freshmen in five years to have multi-point games in a season opener, and seniors Andrew Murray, Brendan Cook and Peter Jonsson combined to score 2-3–5 points for the victors.
Bemidji State dominated play in both zones from the opening moments. Ferris State had just 11 shots on net through the first two periods, and BSU managed four second-period goals, including three on the power play.
"That might have been the best 60 minutes of hockey we've played since I've been coach," BSU head coach Tom Serratore said.
The Beavers and Bulldogs skated to a scoreless first period, with BSU in control of the action for the majority of the period. BSU out-shot the visitors, 11-5, in the opening frame, and held the Bulldogs to three shots until the final moments of the period. Each team had two power-play opportunities in the frame, but Ferris managed just one power-play shot in the period.
BSU finally solved Bulldog netminder Mike Brown at 2:05 of the second period. With the Beavers on a power-play following a Bulldog penalty for too many on the ice, BSU's John Haider fired on Brown from above the left circle. Brown blocked the five-hole shot but did not control the rebound, which Rob Sirianni cleaned up to score his first goal of the season.
Sirianni's tally lit off a three-goal spurt by BSU over the next 3:14. Pope tallied his first goal as a Beaver at 4:17 of the second with a helper from Jarvis and Murray lit the lamps 1:12 later, at 5:19, on another power-play opportunity with assists from Cook and Jonsson. Murray's goal was the eventual game winner, the fifth winner of his career.
In total, BSU's first three goals came in a span of just 3:14 in the period, marking the sixth-fastest three-goal rally in BSU's Division I era.
Ferris got on the board at 6:03 of the second. Carter Thompson snuck in between the faceoff circles with the puck behind the net, and he caught a fortuitous bounce off the glass and beat BSU goalie Layne Sedevie, who had his back to the puck watching the action behind the net. Thompson was assisted by Mark Bomersback and Matt Rutkowski on the lamp-lighter.
Cook netted BSU's fourth goal of the second period at 12:02, giving BSU its third power-play goal of the period. He took a pass from Murray and Luke Erickson and fired on Brown, then picked up the rebound and beat him with the second effort to give BSU a 4-1 lead.
The Bulldogs had opportunities to claw back into the game on special teams in the third period, but failed to take full advantage of five Bemidji State penalties in the frame. Andrew Martens and Murray were whistled for penalties just 13 seconds apart, at 1:03 and 1:16 of the third period, leaving Bemidji State facing 1:46 of a three-on-five penalty kill. The Beavers surrendered three shots on net during an intense flurry in front of its goal, but survived without allowing a goal.
The Bulldogs took advantage of a second five-on-three chance in the third period, this time coming on penalties from Jarvis and Erickson at 9:21 and 10:37, respectively. Matt Sefanishion took a beautiful pass from Derek Nesbitt and beat Sedevie to pull the Bulldogs to the game's final 5-2 margin. Matt York also helped on the goal.
"I thought the critical point of the game was killing off those five-on-threes," Serratore said.
Sedevie saved 19 of 21 shots faced to pick up the win, moving to 1-0-0 on the season. Brown took the loss for the Bulldogs, saving 23 shots and falling to 0-3-0.
The victory gives BSU back-to-back wins over Ferris State in the all-time series, and the Beavers have a chance to even the series up at three wins apiece tomorrow evening in Game 2. It is just the second Division I-era win for the Beavers over a Central Collegiate Hockey Association opponent.
Bemidji State improved to 1-0-0 on the year with the win, while Ferris State remains winless at 0-5-0. The Bulldogs have lost 10 in a row and 13 of 14 dating back to last season. The teams wrap up their two-game series tomorrow night at John Glas Fieldhouse on the BSU campus.

David's Beautiful People Blow Dry Boot Camps helps you learn to style hair like a professional.
David's Beautiful People Salon now offers a one-of-a-kind educational course every month where their staff demonstrates a free hands-on seminar on how to style hair like a professional hairstylist. It takes more than just a flat iron and hairspray to achieve the perfect hairstyle. It takes experience, patience and the drive to learn how to create drop dead gorgeous hairstyles. If you cannot easily replicate salon hair design artistry at home, you should sign up for Blow Dry Boot Camp. The next upcoming classes will take place on the following Tuesdays: March 11th, April 8th and May 6th. Boot Camp attendees will be able to ask for personal haircare advice about cowlicks, creative haircolor options, texture, safe hair smoothing systems, thinning hair, professional home haircare products, blow dryers, ceramic irons, dry and sensitive scalps or any challenge they may have.
Ginny, a recent Blow Dry Boot Camp participant, stated, "David personally greeted me. He asked me basic hair questions such as what kind of shampoo and conditioner I used. He and Pete McCabe, their newest haircare person, began to guide me through the blow dry hair design process. I learned that the brush I have been using is damaging my hair. I learned the proper way to blow dry when styling it so as not to open up the hair cuticle for any potential damage. It is a challenge when one has short arms, not to mention being 67 years of age. I will definitely give it my time and effort. I got one of David's hairbrushes and used my David Rewards Program to purchase an aerosol of dry shampoo for those third days when the hair gets too oily. I really learned how to correct many of my bad hair habits. I had an hour and a quarter of their time and care. It was well worth it. I am glad I came."
Boot Camp Blow Dryer Tips and Tricks: Use a medium blow dryer setting as opposed to high heat as the air stream should feel comfortable on the back of your hand. Keep the hair dryer at least 8 inches away from your hair. If your hair is fine, you should set the air stream to low. With a high setting and fine hair, you may end up with uncontrollable tangles. Blow dry every individual hair strand from the roots to the ends. Keep the blow dryer moving constantly to avoid applying too much heat targeted to a single area. Divide the hair into several portions and secure the strands with large hair clips or grips. Work your way up, blow drying your hair from the neckline to the crown of your head. The use of a heat protectant will aid in the prevention of blow dry damage. To save effort and cut down on exposure to a blow dryer; try to dry hair for 15 minutes by wrapping it in a towel. For an even stream of air, use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer. Give your hair a blast of cool air at the end of your blow dry session to help preserve the elasticity of hair.

The night before Steve's PhD defense, our little fam took a stroll through the neighborhood. For the past six years we've lived, learned and loved in Baltimore, but in the background, there's always been a clock counting down. I'm happy to report that this chapter had a happy ending.
We lost power the night after Steve's defense, along with millions of people in the Baltimore/DC area. More than 50 people were coming over the next day to celebrate Steve's accomplishment and we didn't have air conditioning or a working fridge on a 100 degree day. That's when you realize that you can't do it alone.
Luckily, we have generous and kind neighbors, friends and family. With their help and a generator (thanks, Dad!), we pulled together a memorable celebration. Guests traveled from all over the East Coast to spend the special day with us (some people hadn't seen each other in over a decade!). And despite the mosquitoes, horrendous heat, stinky gasoline and noisy generator, I saw smile after smile. Looking back, the power outage shed light on the fact that we have so many amazing people in our lives.
The Fourth of July was blissfully uneventful. We went grocery shopping, book shopping, and did a whole lot of The Wire watching. One week post-party, I'm getting back to the kitchen as well. I'm amazed every time I realize how much happiness comes from opening a cookbook and making a meal for my family. On the fourth, we enjoyed some Curried Tofu (Veganomicon) brown rice and sauteed rainbow chard (while watching more of The Wire). Today, I whipped up some Un-Tuna Salad Sandwiches (Blissful Bites) for lunch. Double yum.
Back to normal, in photos:
Book-browsing babe.
A lovely reminder.
Curried Tofu with brown rice & sauteed rainbow chard.
Green juice: romaine, celery, cucumber, pineapple.
And lastly, my vacation reset has stuck. Green juice every day (Steve is hooked too), lots of sleep, early mornings, and I'm staying away from the computer screen late at night. All of this adds up to more joy, more patience and more perspective.
Happy to have the power back to fuel that juicer, but also thankful for the many reminders the outage delivered. Those will stick with me most of all.

Banner Board approves new Fort Collins hospital
New Banner Health medical center to open in 2015
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Sept. 7, 2013) – Fort Collins is getting a new hospital. The Banner Health Board of Directors formally approved plans today for a new medical campus to be built on Harmony Road, between Lady Moon Drive and Cinquefoil Lane.
Construction is scheduled to begin Sept. 16 and a public ceremony celebrating the groundbreaking will be held at the site Oct. 2. The hospital will open in 2015.
The Fort Collins facility, to be built on a 28-acre campus, will open with a two-story hospital featuring an emergency department, a 24-bed inpatient unit, labor and delivery rooms, medical imaging, women's services, surgical services and lab services. The campus will include an outpatient clinic and medical office building. Future growth will be based on demand.
Banner Health discussed the project in two public meetings with local residents Nov. 26 and
Feb. 20. The Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the campus April 18.
"This new hospital is a foundation of Banner Health's commitment to serve the increasing needs of Fort Collins whether through hospital care, clinics, or partnerships with insurance companies like Kaiser Permanente, which now has 10,000 members in northern Colorado," said Peter S. Fine, Banner Health president and chief executive officer. "We will equip our staff and providers with the same industry-leading technology we provide in all of our facilities so they can deliver evidence-based care quickly, safely and efficiently."
The Fort Collins hospital will be Banner's third in the Front Range and fifth in Colorado. The nonprofit health care system owns McKee Medical Center in Loveland and Sterling Regional MedCenter in Sterling. It operates North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley and East Morgan County Hospital in Brush. Banner also owns numerous Banner Health Clinics throughout its service area including two Banner Health Clinics in Fort Collins at 303 Colland Drive and 608 E. Harmony Road. It will open the new Banner Health Center at 702-A W. Drake Road on Sept. 9.
About Banner Health

Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue a contradiction, not a celebration
The names are iconic. The swimsuits memorable. Cheryl Tiegs in that fishnet number. Christie Brinkley's cavorting in the surf. Yvonne and Yvette Sylvander.
And those are only the highlights from the 1970s.
Yes, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has provided some memorable cold-weather entertainment for American men (and some women) since 1964. At the time, it was seen as a winter diversion during a slow sporting cycle. And throughout the '60s and into the '70s, women were rarely found elsewhere in the magazine, except in advertisements or the occasional tennis article.
The annual issue became wildly popular, and as the years went on, the anticipation grew each February. Who would grace the cover? How far would they go this time? Oh, there were complaints – the 1978 issue, with Tiegs in the revealing suit, brought 340 subscription cancellation requests – but they just added to the issue's legend. The swimsuit photographs were enjoyable, but so were the letters published two weeks later. "Imagine my shock when I found my 10-year old son looking at pornography!"
We laughed at those Puritans and exhorted SI to keep it coming.
Well, it's time to stop.
Last week, Ed Sherman ran a post on his outstanding Sherman Report blog about the hypocrisy inherent in SI's decision to perpetuate the swimsuit photos nearly eight months after it ran a special issue commemorating the passage of Title IX as a part of the Education Amendments of 1972. The landmark legislation provided for equal opportunities across the board at institutions that receive federal funds and served as a starting point for the subsequent growth in sporting opportunities for women.
Without Title IX, we wouldn't have strong women's sports programs at universities, myriad community programs for girls and diverse options at high school. And don't try to challenge Title IX. It makes the UConn women's basketball dynasty look like a basement dweller. Title IX is undefeated, untied and unscored upon.
So, it made perfect sense that Sports Illustrated would celebrate its 40th anniversary and demonstrate that there was still more ground to cover in the pursuit of sporting equality. To follow that up with another publication jam-packed with photographs of scantily and unclad women is ridiculous. You can't be an advocate for women's rights and contribute to their objectification.
Don't get me wrong. The Swimsuit Issue is quite a publication. And its iconic images remain part of American culture. "Red-blooded men" have enjoyed it for decades, but the edition has never seemed more out of place than it does today. With Danica Patrick's winning of the pole position at next week's Daytona 500 and Baylor star Brittney Griner's 3000th career point in the headlines today, the idea of Kate Upton's appearing bodypainted in a "sports magazine" is completely incongruent.
There can be no mistaking the reason why the Swimsuit Issue lives on. At a time when print is a dying medium, and Sports Illustrated's regular issues are thinner than the argument that the photographs "celebrate" women, the issue is a big money maker. It is equal parts advertisement and pictures, and that's a revenue stream worth holding onto. But someone at the magazine, or at parent company Time Warner, has to develop a little bit of character and decide that 2013 is the final year for the bathing suits.
And it's not just about the magazine. The swimsuit empire now translates to a gigantic on-line presence. There are DVDs available for purchase and mobile apps. A Wall Street investment tracker actually reported this week that since an American (Upton) graced the cover, there will be a bull market in 2013. Well, in that case…
It can't always be about the money, can it? At some point, Sports Illustrated's publishers have to decide that they stand for something beyond profit. The magazine has been trying to cover serious issues for years, and its work on performance enhancing drugs and concussions has been quite good. SI is devoting more pages than ever to compelling stories of athletes who have overcome much to succeed. It has reinvented itself to counter the challenges of new media and remains superior in many ways to any of its competition, be it print or digital. Why sully that by giving people a chance to ogle young women?
From a man who remembers fondly the early days of the Swimsuit Issue, please consider this request to cease and desist. If you want to celebrate women, dedicate a section of the magazine every week to their exploits. If you want to show them that they remain on the margins of the sporting world, then keep on painting models and creating a celebration of their bodies, rather than their accomplishments. It's time to move forward, Sports Illustrated.
It's time to drop the swimsuit.

NFL coaches tend not to be excited about having an HBO documentary crew follow them around training camp for the annual Hard Knocks reality show. The league is now forcing teams to appear. It took some precautions to ensure 2-14 squads won't be blaming HBO for ruining training camp.
A team is exempt from its HBO closeup if it has a brand new coach, made the playoffs in the past two years or appeared in the previous 10 years.
Deadspin has figured out which teams qualify:
Chicago Bears
Buffalo Bills
Arizona Cardinals
New York Giants
Jacksonville Jaguars
Oakland Raiders
St. Louis Rams
Pittsburgh Steelers
Now any of the other 24 teams can volunteer to be in HBO's spotlight, but the league can't compel them to. Please, please Seahawks volunteer. Richard Sherman on a live mike. It's best for business.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are the most popular out of that group, which doesn't mean they'll be the best TV. I would expect the league to have the least interest in the Jacksonville Jaguars. After all, their fans seem to have the least interest.
A friend was trying to give away a Jaguars ticket a couple of years ago. It was awkward as people kept coming up with excuses why they couldn't take a free ticket to an NFL game. Although that situation might make for good TV. See how far people will go to avoid watching bad football!
An inside look at the dysfunction inside the Oakland Raiders association might be entertaining. Readers, who would you like to see on Hard Knocks?

Business and Meditation
When I wrote my previous post, my plan was to write an update every two weeks. It took me a grand total of three months to get the first followup out.
The number one thing that has been keeping me busy has been the founding of my own company. On November 4th I finally filed in the papers and Synerba was born. Figuring out taxation, accounting, and even insurances has been surprisingly appealing as I feel I'm really working on something that is my own.
Of course founding a company is merely a beginning. As planned, I've been working on a handful of facilitation gigs, but most of my income this year has been coming in from web development jobs. I don't intend to do the latter in the long term but they offer a good safety net on the short to medium term. Baby steps, baby steps.
Oh, and before you go looking, the official website for the company is not up yet but I did roll out a simple site for my web development services.
Winter Dathün
While the company has been my main focus as of recent, I will orient myself to something else entirely over the upcoming four weeks. This Saturday I'm namely heading off a four-week meditation retreat, the Winter Dathün with Reggie Ray.
The thought of spending the next 28 days practicing from morning until night hasn't really sunk in yet but I'm slowly starting to feel both excited and intimidated by the idea. I will report back when I return.
Until then, enjoy the holidays and have a great start for 2011!

The waters off the U.S. state of Alaska are some of the best fishing grounds anywhere, teeming with salmon and with shellfish such as crab.
But a new study, funded by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), says growing acidification of Alaska's waters, particularly those off the southern coast, threatens the state's whole economy—largely dependent on the fishing industry.
The study, which appears in the journal Progress in Oceanography, says that not only will the state's commercial fishing sector be badly hit by a growth in acidification, but it will also affect subsistence fisherpeople whose diet mainly consists of the catch from local waters.
Forming acid
The oceans act as a "carbon sink," absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide. Acidification occurs when amounts of carbon dioxide are dissolved into seawater, where it forms carbolic acid.
Scientists say the oceans are now 30 percent more acidic than they were at the beginning of the industrial revolution about 250 years ago.
Among the sea species most vulnerable to acidification are shellfish, because a build-up of acid in waters prevents species developing their calcium shells. Alaska's salmon stocks are also at risk as one of the main ingredients of a salmon diet are pteropods, small shell creatures.
Jeremy Mathis, an NOAA oceanographer and a lead author of the study, told the Alaska Dispatch News that whereas past reports had focused on the consequences of increased acidification on ocean species, the aim of this one was designed to examine the wider economic impact.

The longer people live, the more questions Annuity FYI receives about the right products for people over 85. With such a demand for information from both advisors and investors alike, we've put together an article to compare annuities for investors 85 and older. "Are Annuities Right for Investors Over the Age of 85?" contains a great chart comparing the types of annuities and which benefits that those over the age of 85 should look for.
One of the most important things that older investors need to know is whether or not there is a surrender charge for their annuity. Some surrender charges are null and void if an investor passes away during that time frame, but then you'd need to make sure that your heirs will be able to inherit any remaining money left in your annuity. For the sake of making comparisons, the article uses examples for an 85 year old male investor putting $100,000 into an annuity. The CDC says that the average 85 year old will live 6.5 years until the age of 91.5.
The first annuity we look at is an immediate annuity with a lifetime income guarantee. While these are very popular investments for younger people, they are not a good fit for those 85 and over. If you live to the average age, you would only receive $78,000 of your money back and nothing goes to your heirs. While you could get a great return if you live well beyond the average, this shouldn't be a risk anyone takes because there are much better options out there for those 85 and over.
Period certain and cash refund immediate annuities are a better option for investors 85 and over. If you purchased a 15-year period certain annuity, your heirs would continue to get your $7,800 payments until the 15 years expired. While that only offers a return of 1.1%, it is still a small return and you pay for the peace of mind you are getting as well. Choosing the cash refund option for your variable annuity ensures that your heirs receive any remaining money left from your initial $100,000 investment should you pass away before receiving all of it.
Although fixed annuity rates are low, fixed annuities that guarantee your capital and offer you a rate of return could be a good option for investors 85 and older. Just make sure that there are no surrender charges or that they are waived in the case of your death. Market value adjusted annuities, while good investments for some, are not recommended for people over 85 by Annuity FYI.
Variable annuities with lifetime income benefit riders are not typically good investments for older people because they don't pass remaining money on to heirs. In fact, you would only receive $32,500 of your initial investment back if you lived to the average age of 91.5. Most insurance companies don't even offer lifetime income benefits to people 85 and over because they just aren't worth it to the investor.
However, variable annuities that have return of premium death benefits can be a good investment for those 85 and older. Heirs are guaranteed to be paid the remaining balance if you die before collecting your $100,000 in benefits. They will receive that amount less any payments you received from the annuity during your lifetime. Even if your account value declines well below that $100,000 because of poor market conditions, you will still be guaranteed a return of your premium to you or your heirs.
Annuity FYI strongly recommends speaking with a financial advisor who is well versed in annuities. You can find one on our website or speak with one of our experts to get you started. Each investor 85 and over has individual needs, but this summary should answer a lot of questions for advisors and investors over 85 looking at annuity products.

Peter Asher says this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony April 10, at which he'll induct two rock n' roll managers, Brian Epstein and Andrew Loog Oldham, will be very special for him, he told Beatles Examiner April 9.
"I always look forward to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame event," he said. "I remember going to the very first one with my friends Bob Krasnow and Ahmet Ertegun so many years ago. And this year will be very special to me. I am both a huge fan and a friend of Peter Gabriel. I co-managed Cat Stevens for a couple of years early in his career and he is a brilliant composer and musician."
Asher also has close ties with 11-time Grammy winner Linda Ronstadt, for whom he was her record producer for most of the '70s, all of the '80s and part of the '90s.
"Linda Ronstadt is one of my dearest friends, one of the smartest women I know and my all-time favorite chick singer! I so much enjoyed working with her all those years in and out of the studio and am very proud of the records we made together.
"Linda is not able to attend – and she has a very grown-up attitude to awards of all kinds anyway (awards and fame were never anything she had in mind as a singer – just the music!). But my attitude is less evolved. As long as anyone was making a list of very important singers, I was offended if Linda was not on it! And now she is; and the list has become that much more accurate and comprehensive."
Asher, who has managed acts himself, says Epstein and Loog Oldham were two of the best. "I am deeply honored to have been given the task of inducting two of the most important and skilled managers in the history of Rock 'n' Roll, each of whom managed a band of inestimable significance; Brian Epstein and Andrew Loog Oldham.
"My only difficulty has been keeping my speech short enough," he said. "There is so much to say about Brian's honesty, devotion, commitment and genius and about Andrew's management skills, artful manipulation of the media, instinctive understanding of the youth of 60s Britain -- and his success as a producer as well.
"I shall pay tribute to the achievements of these two brilliant men (both friends of mine) as best I can tomorrow night. Brian will be sorely missed as always and Andrew has chosen not to attend but am thrilled to have the privilege of inducting them both into this illustrious organization."
Asher will also be Scott Shannon's guest on New York's WCBS-AM Thursday during the 8 o clock hour.

Earlier this month, Lancôme announced that Lupita Nyong'o would be its newest celebrity ambassador. Nyong'o catapulted to A-list status after a remarkable film debut in "12 Years a Slave," a movie chronicling the true story of a free black man who was drugged, kidnapped, and sold into slavery in 1841. This September, she will join the likes of Julia Roberts and Penelope Cruz in representing one of the most recognizable and respected companies in the beauty industry.
The public became enamored with her after she stunned in Ralph Lauren at the 71st Golden Globes. During the award season stretch, most actors seem to take misguided wardrobe risks, perhaps with hopes of something sticking but Lupita's sense of style was dead center. With a petit toned frame and rich chocolate skin, she mastered a range of looks from sleek and sophisticated pants suits to structured gowns. Completely unafraid of color, we saw her in virtually every shade of the rainbow. While impeccably dressed, she put her Yale education to good use and gave a string of the most articulate, and emotionally charged speeches of any of the nominees. She won Best Supporting Actress at the 86th Academy Awards, proving she was the "it" girl.
Lupita's partnership with Lancôme is quite significant. According to hellobeautiful.com, the last brown face to represent the brand was Dominican model Arlenis Sosa in 2008. Like Sosa, Lupita carries a great deal of international appeal that somehow transcends cultural, social, or racial implications. Her skin, natural hair, and Kenyan heritage point to a uniquely un-American blackness. Her "blackness" is an international one; it is deep, broadly realized, and authentic. Though she found success from playing a slave, her "blackness" is free from the deep scars of racial oppression as she has no traceable lineage to the African slave trade, within the American context.
Though slavery existed on almost every continent in some form, the American context is unique in that it stimulated decades of oppression, legal segregation, and a deep-seated prejudice that has shaped government and suppressed the very fundamental principles of equality. The black community has sustained severe psychological damage in regards to body image as result of this oppression. Black women in particular have struggled to achieve a Eurocentric ideal of beauty that starkly opposes most of their natural features. Nyong'o embraces her natural features and celebrates them.
The concept of "international blackness" isn't new- it has fed the public's infatuation with fashion icons like Grace Jones, Iman, and Naomi Campbell. However, perhaps since electing Barack Obama, has the American public reached a new plateau of favoring international blacks over "homegrown Negros?" It begs the question that if Lupita Nyong'o was from Harlem, Inglewood, or some other densely populated black neighborhood in America, and looked exactly the same, whether she would be as exoticized.
Perhaps the real question is whether Nyong'o would have been able to harness and own the confidence necessary to become the person that we know and appreciate today, had she been from the hood. That question is difficult to answer. Perhaps what's most important is to deal with the here and now, and there is no doubt that Nyong'o is completely captivating and quite deserving of her astronomical success. She will undoubtedly be an important face for thousands of other brown girls, growing up in the hood or otherwise, to admire and emulate.

The Autumn/Winter 2011-12 Vivienne Westwood Gold Label collection was showcased on March 4th, 2011 at the Pavillon Concord as a part of Paris Fashion Week.
"Fashion is global, influence comes from everywhere in the world. You can wear anything in our part of the world. Anything goes.
But don't let the world get smaller: World Wide Woman cultivates her values for the sake of our planet and all who live on her. We hope she is growing more powerful and in numbers, in touch with the wonder of... reality, controlling her man through the fire of her Imagination and vision.
Traditionally and in general, men have been the pioneers, women the civilizers; they have had vast responsibility in educating their children, they are the center of the home, bringing sweetness and delight, stability and refinement; they are the guardians of culture, most importantly in their creation of the salon (Napoleon agreed to ennoble his generals on condition that their wives opened a salon). It is women who forge the bonds of society.
For the woman who is interested in fashion, she dresses to look important. This depends on taking care on what suits her; the braver she is, the easier and the more beautiful is the woman who makes the dress her own. I expect it is like riding a horse who is yours. Together you dream of open spaces and a world big enough for love and a way to feel free and noble and playful.
Oh yes, walk on a glittering runway with boots made of gold paillettes which dazzle the eyes so you seem to walk on air."

By Kevin Wood/NEMS Daily Journal
Today marks the unofficial start of summer. Memorial Day weekend has arrived, and with it, two distinct types of celebrations.
The first type is your typical warm weather party. There are people splashing in the ocean, skiing on a lake or swimming in a pool. There are hot burgers on the grill and cold drinks in the cooler. The new theme song of the season, "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock, is blasting in the background.
Everyone is kicked back. School is out. Summer is here.
This is Memorial Day for many.
The second type of celebration is very different from the first. It's about something – or more clearly, someone – who is gone. The theme song of this celebration is "Taps," bellowed out by a lone bugler in military attire. Everyone is standing at attention, hands over their heart or poised in salute, sweating as the sun beats down. Sons are gone. Daughters are departed. It is time to pause and remember.
This is Memorial Day for a few.
And even though the two celebrations seem to be worlds apart, there is something that connects them both. The people who are partying can do so only because the people who are pausing have helped secure that privilege.
This year, the Daily Journal chooses to pause, not just for one day or for a three-day weekend, but for 40 days.
From Memorial Day to the Fourth of July, the Daily Journal and DJournal.com will pause and remember the sacrifice and service of Mississippi's bravest.
We are calling this journey "40 Days of Honor." The purpose is simple: to draw a straight line from the sacrifice that is commemorated on Memorial Day to the freedom that is celebrated on the Fourth of July.
Over the 40 days we will tell 40 stories of Northeast Mississippians who have served and sacrificed. We will meet men who served on the beaches of Normandy and who battled through the streets of Fallujah. We will go inside the cells of the Hanoi Hilton and behind the gates of a Nazi prisoner camp. We will meet a woman who delivers mail everyday for a living, but one day was delivered the hardest message of all about her son. Everyone you meet and every story you hear has its roots here in Northeast Mississippi.
Join us at www.40DaysofHonor.com and watch the pages of the Daily Journal in the weeks to come.

LITTLE ROCK, AR. (Oct. 7, 2013) – October is National Farm-to-School Month, a time to celebrate with the Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI) the connections that are happening all over the country between schools and locally grown food. Over the past decade, the farm-to-school movement has exploded across the United States, reaching millions of students in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. From school gardens and farm field trips to local food on cafeteria trays, farm-to-school practices help children connect with their food and make healthier choices while also creating new markets for local and regional farmers.
Arkansas is no stranger to the farm-to-school trend, with several districts across the state participating in programs that connect them to farmers in their communities and provide students with access to fresh, local produce. This month, students in Two Rivers School District in Yell County and Danville Public Schools are among those benefitting from the fruits and vegetables grown by a farm in Bismarck.
The Arkansas Grow Healthy Study based at ACHRI's Childhood Obesity Prevention and Research Program (COPRP), directed by Dr. Judith Weber, helped connect the nutrition directors in these districts to farmer Chuck McCool, who sells produce from his 30-acre farm through an on-farm stand and at farmers markets in the area. The COPRP also serves as the Arkansas State Lead for the National Farm-to-School Network.
During a meeting hosted at the Yell County Extension office, Andrew Carberry, program coordinator for the Arkansas Grow Healthy Study, explained that the only requirements for the schools to purchase unprocessed fruits and vegetables from a local farm are that the produce be grown by that farm, and that the farm has a pesticide license if it is using any regulated products. Since Mr. McCool does not use regulated pesticides he is an approved source of fresh produce for the schools.
To provide further assurance of safety, McCool filled out a voluntary farm self-assessment to document his produce safety practices in the areas of production, product handling, transportation, facilities, worker health and hygiene and sustainability. After a lengthy discussion of the price point and other considerations for several of McCool's crops, the group decided to start with watermelons, cucumbers and lettuce.
McCool made the first delivery of watermelons directly to Two Rivers School District the following week, and is planning to make deliveries of cucumbers and lettuce as they become available later this fall. McCool will deliver throughout the fall and has plans to grow crops tailored to the schools' needs next year, including spinach and grape tomatoes. With Carberry's help, both schools will track the dollar amount of purchases from McCool to show the economic impact of the farm-to-school program.
Other districts in the state are also taking part in farm-to-school activities, and the ACHRI Grow Healthy Study and the National Farm-to-School Network will work toward further connections so that children can learn the importance of fresh produce.
The community also plays a big role in ensuring children have access to locally grown fruits and vegetables. Their support is essential! Farmtoschoolmonth.org offers a variety of resources to help including posters, stickers and a "Theme of the Day" calendar spotlighting a different aspect of farm-to-school each weekday during the month, including ideas for how to feature the theme in your cafeteria, classroom or community. So whether you are a food service professional, a farmer, a teacher or a food-loving family, there are plenty of ways to celebrate and get involved this month.

Ron Hextall's first major move as the new GM of the Philadelphia Flyer was to trade Scott Hartnell to the Columbus Blue Jackets. In return the Flyers got back R.J. Umberger and a fifth round draft in the 2015 draft.
Umberger, 32, makes his return to the Flyers after spending the past six seasons with Columbus where he had 18 goals and 16 assists in 74 games.
Umberger spent his first three years in the NHL with the Philadelphia Flyers where he recorded 49 goals and 67 assists in 228 regular season games. In the 2008 playoffs Umberger scored 10 goals and had 5 assists when he helped the Flyers reach the Eastern Conference finals.
In June of 2008 he was traded from the Flyers to the Columbus Blue Jackets along with a 2008 draft pick for two draft picks, which the Flyers later used to draft Luca Sbisa and Marc-Andre Bourdon in the 2008 Entry Draft.
Hartnell was acquired from the Nashville Predators in June of 2007. He played in 517 games in 7 years for the Flyers recording 157 goals and 169 assists.
This is the third trade the Flyers have made on June 23rd over the last three years, On June 23rd, 2011 the Flyers traded Mike Richards and Jeff Carter to the LA Kings. On June 23rd, 2012 the Flyers traded James Van Riemsdyk.to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Salary wise the trade is pretty much an even swap of players between the two teams. The upside for the Flyers, Umberger brings more speed to the team and less long term salary obligation. Umberger has only three years at $4.6 million a year left on his contract, Hartnell has five years at $4.75 million a year.
According to Philly.com Hartnell felt "unwanted by the Flyers," so he waved his no trade clause.
Fan response on Philly.com has been mixed with some fans hailing the trade and other fans wonder how much more Hextall is going to do to mold this team into his image. There most certainly will be more moves to come, after the draft this weekend.or maybe before. Hextall will most certainly make this off season more interesting.

Network: AMC

Seasons: Five
TV show dates: November 6, 2011 — Summer 2016
Series status: Ending
Performers include: Anson Mount, Common, Dominique McElligott, Eddie Spears, Tom Noonan, Ben Esler, Phil Burke, Colm Meaney, and Christopher Heyerdahl.
TV show description:
This contemporary Western follows a former Confederate soldier named Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount). Following the rape and murder of his wife at the hands of Union soldiers, Cullen sets out to exact revenge on them. His journey takes him west to the mobile town called "Hell on Wheels," a dangerous, raucous, and lawless melting pot. It travels with and services the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, an engineering feat unprecedented for its time. Cullen is ultimately torn between the cycle of revenge he has unleashed over his wife's death and his tiring of this violence.
In addition to following Cullen's story, this TV series also highlights the engineering and construction of the first transcontinental railroad, the institutionalized greed and corruption, the immigrant experience, and the plight of newly emancipated African-Americans during Reconstruction.
Elam Ferguson (Common) is an emancipated slave who's working to achieve true freedom in a heavily prejudiced world. He struggles to come to terms with who and what he is: half white and half black. He doesn't feel at home in either world but refuses to be treated as anything less than a man. Elam and Cullen's fates continue to be bound together, not only by their common Southern roots, but also by circumstances.
Lily Bell (Dominique McElligott) is a newly widowed woman who's trying to survive in a man's world. Following the death of her husband, she continues to wrestle with the idea of the railroad being the end of the West. She feels a connection to the pristine landscape and worries that the approaching railroad and Hell On Wheels will despoil the West forever. Her desire to fulfill her husband's dream ultimately becomes her own and she slowly gains respect in an ever difficult world.
Joseph Black Moon (Eddie Spears) struggles with the difference between his cultural heritage and the ever-changing world around him. He hates the idea but tries to bring his people into the reservation, hoping his people's safety can be guaranteed.
Reverend Nathaniel Cole (Tom Noonan) is chiefly concerned with avoiding a war with the Indians, a war that he knows they can't win. After riding with John Brown in Kansas and serving as a minister for the Union Army in the Civil War, Cole is sick of the slaughter. He genuinely wants to help the whites and Indians avoid another war and he sees Joseph as a means to this end. Cole struggles with his own personal demons while preaching a path of peace.
As young Irish immigrant brothers heading to the West to find their fortune, cracks develop in the relationship of Sean and Mickey McGinnes (Ben Esler and Phil Burke). They exploit business opportunities in Hell on Wheels and use more and more underhanded tactics. Mickey eventually questions what Sean is doing and resents his brother for using him as a pawn.
Thomas "Doc" Durant (Colm Meaney) is a greedy entrepreneur who takes full advantage of the changing times. As the railroad comes closer to completion and he becomes rich beyond his wildest dreams, he becomes more and more concerned about securing his place in history.
Thor "The Swede" Gundersen (Christopher Heyerdahl) is Thomas Durant's ruthless head of security. The Swede's tactics help him maintain a degree of control over the chaotic Hell on Wheels, but he abuses his power to extort money from its residents. The Swede suspects that Cullen Bohannon is a murderer and schemes to prove it.
Episode #57
This TV series has not ended yet.
First aired: TBD
What do you think? Do you like the Hell on Wheels TV show? Do you think it should end with season five?

Shedding negative emotions, seven steps to healthy anger release:
1. Recognize the anger you are feeling. That may sound simple enough, but in all too many cases it's the biggest obstacle we face.
2. Decide what made you angry. Ask yourself the very important question: Is this worth getting angry over? A small annoyance that's got you angry-as it is in the majority of angry episodes- forget it. If you can't forget it, then perhaps the source of your anger goes beyond this simple incident. Ferret out the underlying cause of your hostility. Bring your feelings to the surface and deal with them.
3. Count to ten. Or practice some form of mental relaxation. Calm down first, then discuss the conflict rationally.
4. Give the "provoker" the benefit of the doubt. In stead of inflaming your anger by feeding yourself such thoughts as , "Who does he think he is for treating me in this underhanded way!" suggest to yourself that perhaps this person is having a bad day. Come up with a reasonable justification for the behavior- something that you can understand and relate to.
5. Make your grievance known without attacking the other person. Register your complaints using "I" instead of "you." Instead of saying, You're acting unfairly and you're wrong, " it's far more effective to say, "I feel hurt. What you're doing doesn't take my needs into account.
6. Listen. Another tough technique to master. Listen hard. and Understand. This is the key step in resolving the conflict. And resolving the conflict is, after all , the key to safely diffusing your anger.
7. Forgive. 'When you forgive someone (and this includes yourself), many clearly positive psychological and physiological changes take place. You will feel more relaxed, your heart and blood pressure rate will drop, you will breathe a little easier etc..
The purpose of anger is to let your grievance known and if the grievance is not confronted it will not matter whether the anger is kept in, let out, or wrapped in red ribbons and dropped off at the door step. Expressing anger is necessary for good health.
I hope you feel better soon. Hugs.

Upset Over EverythingPosted on 10/08/13, 09:56 am
It seems like I get so angry and upset over everyday problems. My vet may have lost my cat's records and the receptionist didn't seem to care and was rude to me. My heart is still racing from the phone conversation (happened an hour ago) and I'm shaking with anger. I'm not so angry about the mishap as the lack of concern and outright rudeness. I've had to deal with rude people a lot lately and I'm left upset for weeks or even months over every incident. Most people would shrug these things off but I replay them over and over. Does anybody else have this problem? Any suggestions for how to cope?
Reply #1 10/08/13 2:06pm
Reply #2 10/08/13 4:15pm
Thank you for the tips nabby1. I will be mindful of these and try to implement when the situation allows. Anger serves a purpose when i channel it correctly (calmly convinced the vet office staff to search for the records and they were found!) but the excess can be harmful.
Reply #3 10/08/13 10:25pm
andms ... welcome! I also re-play negative experiences over & over. I'm glad the vet's office got things sorted out. nabby1, thanks for the list. It seems I need to keep being reminded of these suggestions. It might be a good idea for me to make a copy so I can re-read it every day. One thing I do remember all the time it to tell myself "perhaps the other person is just having a bad day". That is really helpful.
Reply #4 10/11/13 10:41am
Great tips nabby and Janvier. I agree, trying to be considerate of others is a good thing.
To be fair, it is very hard to deal with upset customers, I have to do it in my job too. Sometimes (and I don't mean you here, I am talking in general) people are very upset for whatever reason, and whatever the person tells them is not enough for them as they are lost in their emotions and cannot step back and see things objectively. If someone is that upset, it is a real skill to calm them down. However much you apologize or explain, they cannot hear you. I have had people on the phone in tears before, it is upsetting for the employee too, as it might not be your fault they are upset but you feel it is, and you feel a failure because you cannot help them. As an employee you are constrained by whatever rules your employer imposes, however upset someone might be, if you cannot help them then you cannot help them.
One thing that helps me is to name my emotions. I step back and say 'what do I feel and why?' For example 'I am angry because the vet lost my cat's records and don't seem to care. I am worried about what might happen'. Sometimes just naming it can really help.And realizing the size of the problems in the scheme of things. What is the worst that can happen? Maybe your cat is inoculated twice for something as they have no record of whether it happened. Once you face the worst, it could be it isn't that bad, or there is something you can do to prepare, Once you have done that, the next question is, why worry? If it is under your control, and there is something you can do, then do it. if it is out of your control, then logically, what can worrying achieve? Nothing, except to make you feel miserable.
Another thing - people won't necessarily validate your emotions. They respond in their own way, and that is their choice, as it is your choice how you respond to them. You felt angry and worried, so you expected them to acknowledge that or respond to it in a certain way, in order to make you feel it was a valid feeling to have. But they didn't. That doesn't mean your feelings are any less valid - it was a worrying thing to happen. So have confidence that your feelings are valid, regardless of whether others respond how you expect them to.
Meditation and mindfulness are very helpful to a lot of people. Keep yourself busy so you don't have a chance to brood or obsess over things. Practice gratitude daily - think of say, 5 things you are grateful for each day and realize how lucky you are. Everyone in this group, for example, has access to a computer and the internet - many many people even in prosperous countries do not have those luxuries. We also have had access to sufficient training and experience so that we are confident in knowing how to access this website and post on it. We have hands to type and eyes to read the screen.
I also find it helpful to remember 'this too shall pass' - whatever you are going through, it will be over in time, as you have discovered with the records. Things like that are practical issues, not emotional ones - the records will either be found (as they indeed were) or not, in which case some other action needs to be taken.
It may not seem like you are in control of your thoughts. But you are. Mindfulness teaches, among other things, that we are not our thoughts and we do not have to interact with them. It is possible to just observe them, watch them pass. This sort of skill might be helpful to you.
Reply #5 10/11/13 12:01pm
When I say I was upset, I meant after the fact. I was not angry when speaking to this person. I have worked in a similar role dealing with customers, and was always polite so guess I'm particularly sensitive to how I interact. I feel like there are so many bad customer stories out there but customers that get poor treatment are treated as liars or get accused of exaggerating.
Reply #6 10/11/13 12:45pm
Sounds like you need to do some growing out in the assertive direction. I used to be like that and still can be at time ... just going into a safety zone by not explaining nor expressing ... keeping that role of MY EXPERIENCE AND CONCERNS(FEELINGS) ARE NOT TO BE SEEN NOR HEARD NOR EXPRESSED, they are locked up until I get home where they spin out all over the place. In the mean time I suppressed them in order to not make a fuss. NOT as in NOT ANY MORE.
I do work with the public and it goes both ways. When I am in the directors seat I have to both be available to manage people issues and draw boundaries as to what is my job ... on the other hand when I am the student I have to be smart about asking for what I need and pay for but of course not figuring that all my stuff is the other person stuff to sort through with me.
When I am director I meet people that want all of my attention to their needs above and beyond call of duty
when I am in the position of being directed I see that I am still in charge of what I need to have happen. So really there is balance.
I interpret your statements in that you are not balancing but rather keeping the one role up all the time and in doing so ... in pleasing every one momentarily ... You later come to blow up because stuff has been suppressed. In other words you got to learn to get a little bigger and dynamic in your roles. Pleasing others, keeping subdued and quiet, remaining with out expressing need or opinion really does not do the world a whole lot of good. But I understand that position and I have lived it for quite some time.
I also am really aware of being in the face of a fool person that will not do their job and in that I step back realizing that that person lack of capabilities is not only statement on my reality.
In other words if some one can not help me with my concerns over the phone then find some one else to do the job. BUT make sure to state the business you need addressed. do not expect all or many people to figure it out or just know what is appropriate.
Reply #7 10/11/13 6:15pm
IMO......clerks,waitresses, customer service people and a lot of the medical profession are getting pretty rude....actually I was just talking to my husband about this very thing. I do not accept the fact that because I am HSP I am just more sensitive to this. People are so unhappy in general way more than they used to be.
I am not certain what to do but no tips and complaining to mgmt may help.....you would think all these people donate their time. I am sure the state of the economy does not help....then there is our wonderful, talented and experienced president stirring up a mess. (That is a discussion best not had)
Reply #8 10/11/13 10:47pm
I get easily upset over things like people honking at me in traffic. I takes maybe an hour or so and then I try to move on. I breathe in "fading away," exhale "world peace."
Join This Group
The highly sensitive person (or HSP) is someone who cares deeply about everything ... feels emotions with great intensity ... is highly conscientious ... has a rich and complex inner life ... is very intuitive ... is often creative in a variety of ways... is easily overwhelmed and/or overstimulated. A HSP needs lots of quiet time,space, and freedom. If this sounds familiar ... you are welcome to join us.

Beautiful Creatures Movie Review
Tuesday, February 12, 2013 | Away We Go, Campaigns, Pur Teen
By guest blogger, Lilliana Campbell
Over the weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Los Angeles and go to the "Beautiful Creatures" movie premiere. At first, I wasn't quite sure what to expect of the movie. Based on the previews, I wondered if it would be scary, dark, supernatural or thrilling. It ended up being a bit of all of this and more. I would describe it as science fiction, filled with mystery, magic and even a bit of humor mixed in that made the whole theater giggle. I definitely rate it two thumbs up!

This was my first order from your company that I had shipped to my mother's home for use in Florida so I wouldn't have to carry these supplies (for a special affair cake) in Florida.
The order was very promptly delivered, was correct, nice packaged; but most importantly the quality and taste of the ingredients ordered were phenomenal! Never mind your exceptional prices [the fondant I ordered cost me $8.95, compared to $14.95 in _________ (a local "crafts" store that carries a small selection of specialty confectioner's supplies at exorbitant prices ].
I have your website added to my favorites and will look to order from your company whenever I need specialty cake or any confectioner supplies.

Chris Potter: Juggernaut
Chris Potter (soprano, alto, tenor saxes)
Presenting Chris Potter (Criss Cross Jazz 1067 CD)
Chris Potter (soprano, alto, tenor saxes),
John Swana (trumpet), Kevin Hays (piano), Christian McBride (bass), Lewis Nash (drums).
Composed by Chris Potter.
Recorded: New York, December 29, 1992
Rating: 83/100 (learn more)
This track, from Potter's debut recording as a leader, foreshadows the brilliant career that lay ahead of the young saxophonist. He was 21 when this CD was made, although the language with which he improvises is far beyond his years. Reminiscent of Joe Henderson, Potter's solo demonstrates his virtuosic technique, and provides a glimpse of the rhythmic and motivic techniques he perfects and employs in his later work.

Dear college admissions officer:
I really want to attend your university so I think I'd better explain why my academic transcript is missing the 12th grade. The Utah Legislature thinks that senior year is kind of a waste of time, and since they needed to cut a whole lot of money out of the education budget they decided to let everyone graduate early. I worked hard to make sure I got all of my minimum credits done by 11th grade but, as you can see, I didn't have time to take many Advanced Placement courses. I was also doing well on our basketball team but only got to play one year on varsity. I bet we would have won region if we could have played one more year.
My concern is that students from other states will have more credits than I do. They probably had more time for extracurricular and community-service classes than I did, too, but I promise I would have done all of that if I had been in high school for another year.
Thank you for your attention. I hope you won't reject me just because my state's public high schools only go through 11th grade.
A Utah student
Dear employer,
I know I am only 17 but I would really like to work for your company. I graduated from high school this year and I am not planning to go to college. I got good grades but our school didn't offer vocational classes because it only goes for three years. I know that the other high school graduates who are applying for this job are probably older and have more training than I do but our state couldn't afford to keep us in school any longer.
A Utah student
Dear Mr. CEO,
We hope you will choose to locate your new plant in the great state of Utah. We offer great business opportunities, generous tax incentives and a pretty, great work force. Our high school graduates are hard workers. They may not have the training that their counterparts in other parts of the country have after four years of high school, but they are young and eager.
If you relocate your management team to Utah you will discover that our communities are very family oriented and our school system is excellent even though it only goes through 11th grade.
A Utah taxpayer
