Football Falls To Northeastern, 42-17
Sept 21, 2002
BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) - Northeastern scored 28 points in the third quarter, including two interception returns for touchdowns, to defeat Massachusetts 42-17 in Saturday's Atlantic 10 opener for both teams.
The Huskies (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic 10), snapped a 16-game losing streak to the Minutemen (2-1, 0-1). The 42 points are the most Northeastern has scored on Massachusetts in 32 meetings.
Northeastern scored on its first possession, by driving 86 yards with Anthony Riley running 18 yards for the touchdown. Doug White's 44-yard field goal, the longest of his career, cut the deficit to 7-3 at the half.
But the Huskies got a quick touchdown from Tim Gale on a 1-yard run and another on a 16-yard pass from Shawn Brady to Quintin Mitchell to start the third quarter. Then Anthony Nolen returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown to make the score 28-3.
After Jeff Krohn hit Adrian Zullo with a 35-yard touchdown pass for Massachusetts, Kurt Abrams returned an interception 98 yards for a touchdown, putting Northeastern ahead 35-10.
Massachusetts scored on a 12-yard pass from Krohn to Neal Brown, but Northeastern answered with Brady's 8-yard pass to Cody Thompson.
Krohn had a huge passing day, completing 33 of 52 passes for 401 yards. But he also threw three interceptions.
Brady completed 10 of 19 passes for 225 yards.
Riley led all rushers with 67 yards on 14 carries.

President Barack Obama paints an encouraging picture of the additional resources his administration has poured into helping veterans get disability benefits and mental health treatment. But he glosses over just how much those problems have grown during his time in office.
Obama spoke Monday to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. His Republican rival for the White House, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, is set to address the same group Tuesday. A look at Obama's assertions about the Veterans Affairs Department's efforts and how they compare with the facts:

Urban Transcripts 2011 Rome, the Accidental City An exhibition, a conference, a workshop CALL FOR PROJECTS
Rome, Italy
Urban Transcripts was born out of an interest to create a new tool through which to explore cities in a participatory and cross-disciplinary way. It was initiated in 2010 as a series of annual events, such as exhibitions, conferences, workshops, and publications, centred around a specific agenda every year, addressing issues in a particular city, or transversal themes common to a number of different cities.
Through an annual call-for-projects open to the wider public, Urban Transcripts solicits projects in a range of disciplines, from architecture and urban design to film and social research, in a variety of critical and creative media. Our series of events and actions is composed of an extensive selection of the projects submitted, curated by a designated committee. In this way,we are creating a unique platform for the advancement of a body of work and knowledge dealing with the urban phenomenon.
Beyond an imagery of the unchanged and unchangeable old town, the realities of the city of Rome finely weave themselves through an everlasting conflict between the remote past, the recent yesterday, and the present. An exploration of Rome as an emergent territory reveals avibrant congregation of "incidental" urban products: informal neighbourhoods resulting from spontaneous development, modernist experiments in (re)housing society, ruins of a history that tourism has forgotten, bold transportation infrastructure piercing through the city's residential fabric, urban voids or even unspoilt countryside that escaped 'development', all strikingly interlaced between the threads of time, in the junctures and overlaps between planned form and plan-resistant city. They appear like parts of an accidental city: a city of the unexpected contrasts in built forms and urban landscapes, a city continuously redefined by itscitizens' spontaneous appropriation of space, a city of the unpredictable play between people, space and time.
We invite you to explore the accident(al) in the city of Rome: the accident(al) which happens over time and transforms the "essence" of the city that would otherwise remain unchanged, theaccident(al) which adds surprise and complexity to our reality and challenges ourunderstanding of the city, the accident(al) which generates the energy to recreate and reshapethe city.
Urban Transcripts 2011 is calling for projects in the visual arts, theory and research, architecture and urban design, which engage in critical and creative approaches with this theme and the problematics it evokes.
1. Visual Arts
Including, but not limited to: filmmaking, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture,printmaking, design.
2. Theory and Research
Including, but not limited to: theory and research papers, articles, publications.
3. Architecture and Urban design
Including, but not limited to: architectural design projects, proposed architectural and urbandesign interventions, urban design strategies.

Custom Yogurt Key To Customers At New LITH Store
"We've had a lot of interest," he said. "When (investors) see how many people are in the stores and having a good time they say 'How do I get involved?'"
The key to Yumz' appeal is self-service combined with lots of choices. "We have 10 different flavors to choose from," Barnes said, "and 65 toppings. You can make it any way you want it."
LITH was was the choice for Yumz' second store because, "It seemed to be a good bunch of people interested in getting out and being entertained," Barnes said.

Glad to hear you've sold her (not easy selling horses atm) and that she's going to a good home.
I daresay you are feeling sad, you must have built up quite a bond with her to have brought her on so well as you did - is she going very far, and will you be able to see her if you wanted to?
And what about you riding now? Any other horse in the pipeline?
Sorry, lots of questions, lol!!

So, I actually cried like a baby when they picked her up Saturday and made her new owner (16yo girl) cry too. I felt pretty bad!
However she's settled in brilliantly and they're going to be doing some jump work soon.. I think this is what Duffy needed, someone who will adore and worship her and make the most out of her.. now I don't feel so sad that she's gone and I don't know if that's right or not, but I feel she's gone somewhere better than I could have given her!

We're getting a major Jetsons vibe from this Lana Dress ($308) from Rosario. And although there's a hint of Judy and Jane, we're mostly thinking of Elroy's orbit hat and backpack. We've seen our fair share of skirts with sheer panels, but not too many dresses constructed with clear plastic panels. Is this the future?

The Evergreen Bulldogs from Vancouver will take on the Southern Marin (Calif.) Broncos at noon on Saturday for a berth in the Pop Warner Super Bowl.
The Pop Warner Pee Wee Division playoff game will played at Andrew Hill Middle School in Santa Clara, Calif. The Pee Wee Division is for players ages 9-11, and "older-lighter" 12-year-olds who weigh between 75 and 100 pounds.
The Bulldogs (9-0) earned the opportunity to travel to Santa Clara by winning the Greater Northwest Conference championship last weekend at a Pacific Northwest tournament in Spokane.
Many of the players on this Bulldogs team played for the Evergreen Pee Wee team that made the regional finals in the Junior Pee Wee Division last season.
Head coach Brandon Victor said last season's experience will help his team be prepared for this challenge. He noted that the Bay Area teams usually have more "older-lighter" players and play the game at a faster pace than Pop Warner teams in Washington and Oregon.
The winner of Saturday's game will qualify for the Pop Warner Super Bowl, a multi-team event held Dec. 1-8 at Orlando, Fla.

He wasn't Mexican, but Herb Alpert cultivated the look and sound of Mexican music in a way that had huge appeal to audiences in North America and beyond.
It all started back in 1962, with a song called "The Lonely Bull." It was a top 10 hit and launched the career of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. If you're not a baby boomer, you may know their music thanks to references on The Simpsons. If you aren't familiar with the Tijuana Brass sound, it's worth a listen now.
Here are seven reasons to love Herb Alpert:

"I have recently met my niece for the first time and learned that her difficult life was made very much safer and happier by love from Harbor House years ago. Thank you for what you do. Never doubt the value of what your connection to these people means in the short term and the long term as well. Love to you all."
"My name is Anthony. I am a former resident at Harbor House not just once but almost a dozen times. I was one of those teens who was always finding new ways to get in trouble. During my first time staying at the shelter back in 1999, I was jumping up and down on the bed throwing glow sticks or setting off the alarms. Even after all the stuff I did, I always had a safe place to stay. All of the staff genuinely cared about the teens' lives they touched. The staff at Harbor House raised me and helped me become the person I am today. I recently completed my GED and am now enrolled in one of the top tier automotive trade schools in Nashville, Tennessee. I want to thank the staff at Harbor House past - and present - you guys made a huge difference in my life and so many others."

The ultimate renewable energy, solar power is a great way to reduce dependence on conventional electricity generation and send a responsible corporate message. Through a combination of reduced hardware costs and generous incentives, project cost paybacks have been shortened to as little as four years. Additionally, financing can eliminate upfront expense, guaranteeing faster payback.
Solar arrays are most efficient on hot summer afternoons when electricity rates tend to be higher. In addition, if the array produces more electricity than consumed in a particular day, it may be used to offset future utility-provided electricity. Solar electricity production is in proportion to the array size and the weather.
Fact Check
A solar array can produce high value Solar Renewable Energy Certificates with monetary value separate from the electricity.
As a veteran electricity supplier, we understand the true value of solar power. We make accurate financial projections because we understand energy costs in detail and position solar arrays for maximum value, not just maximum output. Additionally, we maximize solar project returns by offering an energy supply contract which reflects the value of post-solar power consumption.
Fact Check
We install top-quality, American-made solar equipment with a 25-year warranty.
AEP Energy improves energy economics with an integrated approach to minimize the project payback period. We do this by employing multiple, integrated strategies such as reducing consumption through energy efficiency; shifting load to less expensive hours through demand response; and generating electricity through solar development.
Fact Check
We offer a menu of deal structures to maximize project value and suit customer needs including financing and ownership options.

Microsoft Office 2011 To Add OS X Lion Features
So all the new OS X Lion features are great, but what's the use if they're not compatible with your most used software applications. Despite many Mac computer adopters, a good number of them are still relying on Microsoft's Office suite for Mac, which currently does not support any of the new Lion features. Luckily, Microsoft has confirmed that they are busily working away at integrating them as we speak.

A couple of themes from training camp the past three seasons for the New Orleans Saints were how hot things were at Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., and how far removed from friends and family they were up there.
Now that the team is home at the Metairie practice facility, all is well, right?
Well, yes and no. As Coach Sean Payton and running back Reggie Bush have already pointed out, things here aren't what they were at Milsaps, but they're still not easy.
Bush's mate in the backfield Pierre Thomas, concurs.
"It's still training camp, but the fact that it's here and this is where we normally practice helps out," Thomas said. "It feels good to be home. Jackson, Miss. was good, but the guys feel more relaxed here."
Thomas said the experience at Jackson was needed in a way. It was all about football there, with few distractions.
"It's always good to get your mind off everything," he said. "When we were there we weren't getting caught up in stuff outside of football and I think we really came together as a team."
Not that that's not the case this summer, they are about football, they are about coming together as a team.
But, they're not about establishing a foundation anymore. They're looking to make a move, looking to win now.
"Here we're not building, we've got a good group on offense and defense," Thomas said. "What we're doing now is just putting the pieces together."

As one of the most vivacious characters on the funnies page, Ms. Buxley has always had curves. These days, they seem to be expanding.
Take a gander at today's episode of "Beetle Bailey," in which the coquettish office assistant of Camp Swampy seems to be showing her age (at least 64, by our reckoning) and the after-effects of an eating regimen that likely includes seconds on mashed potatoes, SPAM and pecan pie.
When did the va-va-va-voomiest persona in newspaper comics develop a gut?
Is Ms. Buxley the victim of slowing metabolism? Has her recent romantic alliance with the lazy Beetle Bailey curbed her appetite for fitness whilst increasing it for Funyuns?
It's not as if this is the first time we've raised questions about the character's weight. Just last November, as Thanksgiving passed, Ms. Buxley looked as if she had ingested an entire turkey, giblets and all. And in 2011, we thought we'd noticed Ms. B looking a little more, um, broad in the beam.
Look, you can't blame the woman if she wants to eat a little more. If we were yoked to such needy oddballs as Beetle, General Halftrack and Sgt. Snorkel, we'd likely want to drown our sorrows in a vat of onion dip, too. But if the lady can't regain control over her appetites, a legion of comic-strip observers may go elsewhere for their thrills. Already, June Morgan has been trying to steal Ms. Buxley's spotlight.
A little more exercise and a little less time spent with Private Bailey ought to get Ms. Buxley back where she ought to be.

|Q&A with Lee Pelton
|Tuesday, 02 August 2011 18:13
"I want students to leave Emerson with the sure knowledge that they were educated not to extract value from but rather to add value to human society."
The parents of Dr. M. Lee Pelton were laborers who never attended college. Perhaps because of their lack of higher education, they grasped its importance, a lesson that was not lost their son, who last month, became the 12th President of Emerson College.
The first in his family to go to college, Pelton has graced numerous institutions, earning degrees from Wichita State and Harvard University, serving as dean of Colgate University and Dartmouth College, and, most recently, president of Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. In his final year at Willamette, the school was one of only six to receive the Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll Presidential Award from President Obama.
As he begins his career at Emerson, Pelton brings a commitment to civic engagement, diversity and a passion for 19th century British poetry, to the city he loves "more than any other place on earth."
It derives from the simple but profound notion that education is the key to ascending the social and economic ladder in America, and that was certainly the case for me. I suspect that my experiences growing up, in many respects, would be similar to the kids of immigrant families who have come to the new world for a brighter and better future.
CM: Did you have any mentors along the way, and what did they teach you?
The most important lesson I learned from Jim was to have the courage to see something as it is and to speak to that truth, to speak with authenticity and speak from the values that are important to me. He knew, and I have since learned, that when one speaks with an authentic, truthful voice, one is respected even by those who might disagree.
That is not an easy position for college and university presidents to take these days, especially when they are preoccupied with nurturing relationships with alumni and other external constituencies whose resources have the capacity to advance the college or university. I think we've seen in the last sixty years a regrettable silencing of college and university presidents on issues and topics that really matter to this country.
CM: Do you feel college presidents should have a certain shelf life?
The answer to those questions for me were, 'Yes.' The process of answering truthfully those questions was complex and time consuming. It took me a year and a half, maybe longer, to feel I could answer those questions resolutely. Once I did, then I realized that I should be open to other opportunities, and Emerson was an opportunity that found its way into my life.
CM: Why did you choose Emerson?
CM: What challenges do universities and colleges face in terms of promoting diversity as opposed to other organizations?
Success is a three-legged stool. The three legs include strategy, resources, and leadership. If any one of these three legs are missing the stool will not stand. And it is rare, in my experience with institutions of higher learning, to have all three of these legs operating at the same time on behalf of diversity.
CM: How is it different being in downtown Boston versus Hanover, NH (Dartmouth College) in terms of your diversity strategy?
CM: At Willamette you emphasized community service. Will you do the same at Emerson and why?
CM: Are there days when you are sick of being a president and you wish you could go back to being a professor?
CM: How did you become interested in that?
CM: What were you looking forward to the most in coming back to Boston?
CM: Is there a anecdote you look back on and say 'I really made a difference here' that sticks out in your mind for whatever reason?
LP: I'll give you one story which connects to Emerson. Several years ago when I was at Willamette, I gave a commencement address at a High School in Salem (Oregon). This was a high school that had students from working class and poor backgrounds, the vast majority of these students, did not and would not attend college. Just two weeks before I was leaving Willamette, a student from that high school told me a remarkable story: He was a sophomore attending the graduation ceremony of the seniors, and he heard my talk. He told me that it so inspired him that this young man, who was struggling to get through high school who had never considered going to college, began to devote himself and commit himself to doing well so he could attend the institution where I was president. Which he did, and he graduated in May of 2011. He came to my office to tell me that he now wants to come to Emerson College as a graduate student and asked would I serve as a reference for him, mind you he had gone four years without speaking to me. It is my hope that he will one day attend Emerson as a graduate student.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which
oversees national banks, thought consumers needed more information
on fees and terms, too. In August 2006 it issued guidelines
for national banks that are selling gift cards, emphasizing
the need for disclosure of policies and fees both on the card and
on a separate brochure to be handed out with the gift card. The
gift card itself must have the expiration date; the amount of the
monthly maintenance fee, dormancy fee and any other fees; and additional
information for customer service, including a toll-free number or
Web site address.
The ride-along printed information (which might be
as simple as a receipt-style slip of paper) must include several
bits of information.
"Simon Mall has good gift-card disclosure," says Horne.
"It's much clearer; it articulates just what's going to happen.
They've just taken the lead. They've said, 'We want these fees,'
and they professionally provide an understandable disclosure statement."
States try to help the consumer
Not surprisingly, Simon Property Group, the nation's largest operator
of retail malls, has been at the center of the gift-card-fee-and-expiration-date
discussion. A number of states have passed laws that forbid expiration
dates and fees on gift cards. The states are: California, Connecticut,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. However,
their jurisdiction over gift cards issued by national banks, which
are regulated by federal law, is being challenged.
Simon Property Group, whose cards are prepaid Visa
cards issued by MetaBank, won a victory over New Hampshire's attempt
to forbid its dormancy fees. New Hampshire law does not allow expiration
dates or fees on gift cards. Simon challenged the state law in a
2004 suit, saying federal banking laws supersede state laws. A federal
district court judge ruled in August that since the Simon gift cards
are issued by national banks, they come under federal banking laws,
which at present do not prohibit fees and expiration dates.
Similar suits have been filed in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The New York suit resulted in Simon changing its gift card program so that the expiration date is now 13 months after the card is issued, up from six months. The other suits are still pending.
Bankrate.com's survey reflects the effects of these
changing laws, too. Target plastic gift cards, for example, have
no expiration date in some states and, in others, gift cards expire
two years after issue date.
E-gift cards stay 'e'
Of the seven electronic gift cards Bankrate surveyed, only the J.C.
Penney card can be used to purchase merchandise in stores. All the
others -- Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Kohl's
-- can be used only online or for catalog purchases. The Target
e-GiftCard can be used at Amazon.com as well. Delivery is via e-mail
and all deliver within 24 hours. Only Target's e-GiftCard has an
expiration date: 15 years from date of issuance, subject to state
laws. None of these retailers charges other fees for their cards
or for their use.
As the world of gift cards continues to grow, it will also continue to change, responding to consumer wishes and demands.

Adolescent Medicine
The Adolescent Medicine Program at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital is the only one of its kind on the South Side of Chicago. We address the specific healthcare needs of young people between the ages of 11 and 21 -- while supporting optimal growth and development through this period of rapid change.
Meeting the Needs of Adolescents
Rapid physical, emotional, cognitive, and social changes are the hallmark of adolescence. During this time, children evolve into fully-grown, mature, independent young adults. Yet, the pace of biological, emotional, and intellectual growth varies widely among teens. Family and social circumstances also have a significant impact on this journey into adulthood. Our adolescent medicine specialists understand the impact of all these factors on healthy development. We strive to help teens and families meet the challenges associated with this transition.
At our adolescent clinic, located at the Friend Family Health Center, we provide a wide variety of health services including:
- Well-adolescent visits
- School physical exams
- Sport pre-participation visits
- Urgent care
- Primary care for youth with chronic conditions
- Adolescent gynecology and family planning
The clinic is a family-friendly place. We recognize the importance of family in the lives of our patients, even as they strive to reach independence. Our experts respect the need for confidentiality -- for both parents and teens -- and at the same time encourage open communication between family members on any issues that may affect our patients' health and well-being.
Experts in Adolescent Medicine
Our team includes three board-certified pediatricians and our program director who is also board-certified in adolescent medicine. Our physicians and nursing staff are available every weekday, while on-call pediatricians and nurses are easily accessible after hours and on weekends.
Since we are part of a teaching institution, the same experts that treat your child are training the doctors of tomorrow. Our physicians model not only clinical excellence, but also sensitively meet the special needs of adolescents and their families.
Preventive Health
At the adolescent clinic, our experts identify common teen health problems -- before they develop into serious illness. We encourage our patients to develop healthy habits that will turn into life-long behaviors. During well-adolescent visits, we focus on discussing patient and family concerns -- with the understanding that teens and parents may have different points of view. Commonly addressed issues include:
- Assessment of growth and development
- Body image and eating disorders
- Cigarette smoking, alcohol, and other drug use
- Dating and relationships
- Depression
- Family conflict
- Nutrition, diet, and exercise
- Obesity
- Peer pressure
- Safe driving
- School performance
- Sexuality, sexual behavior, and birth control
Chronic Disorders
We provide comprehensive primary health care to adolescents with chronic disorders, including:
- Acne
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Depression
- Developmental delays
- Diabetes
- Enuresis (bedwetting)
- Hypertension
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Recurrent pain syndromes (headaches, chest pain, and abdominal pain)
- Rheumatologic disorders
- Scoliosis
- Sleep disorders
We also offer gynecology care, family planning services, and the evaluation and management of sexually transmitted diseases.
Easy Access to Specialists
Because our adolescent medicine program is part of Comer Children's, we have quick access to some of the best specialists in the area. The hospital, just a few blocks south of our clinic, houses more than 20 pediatric specialty and surgical programs, including experts in:
- Allergy/Immunology
- Cardiology
- Dermatology
- Gastroenterology
- General Surgery
- Neurology
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine
- Psychiatry
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Rheumatology
- Sleep Disorders
Patient Education
We emphasize patient health education, and provide information to both patients and parents on a variety of topics. Our goal is to empower your teen to become responsible for his or her care by reinforcing healthy behaviors and recognizing and avoiding potential risks.

Preparing for your flight
Use this step-by-step guide to make your journey as easy as possible.
1. Identify all of the liquids, aerosols and gels you plan on taking on board.
Look carefully through your luggage and identify items you think could be a liquid, aerosol or gel. Pay particular attention to toiletries and cosmetics.
2. Identify all of the liquids, aerosols and gels that you NEED for your flight.
3. 100ml or less? You can carry it on board.
Review the items you plan on carrying with you on the flight. Are they 100ml or less? If so, then you can pack them into one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag of no more than 20cm x 20 cm. Your plastic bag will need to seal easily.
4. Packing your bags.
Items not essential for your flight, and any items more than 100ml, will need to be packed into your checked (hold) luggage.Even if you believe an item is very important, it should still be packed into your checked (hold) luggage if it is over 100ml.
Any items greater than 100ml that are not checked-in will have to be surrendered at the security screening point and will be destroyed.
Arriving at the airport
1. Review your hand luggage.
Are you carrying any liquids, aerosols or gels in your hand luggage that are greater than 100ml? If you are, then be sure to pack them into your checked (hold) luggage before checking-in.
2. Double-check your plastic bag.
Are there any items in your plastic bag that you don't actually need for your flight? We recommend you pack these items into your checked (hold) luggage.
Remember only one plastic bag per passenger is permitted.
3. Check-in: Your last point of call.
Remember that check-in is the last point in which you can put any items into your checked (hold) luggage.
After this point, any liquid, aerosol or gel items surrendered at the security screening point will be destroyed.
4. Unsure? Ask a staff member.
If you are unsure about anything to do with liquids, aerosols or gels, be sure to talk to staff at check-in.
At security
1. Remove any metal items.
Place any metal items, such as mobile phones, coins or laptops in the tray provided.
2. Present your liquids, aerosols and gels.
The plastic bag containing your liquids, aerosols or gels should be presented separately from your other hand luggage. Any liquids, aerosol or gels larger than 100ml will need to be disposed of in the bins provided.
3. Remove your coat.
All bulky coats / jackets / fleeces / thick sweaters must be removed and placed in a tray.
4. Walk through the Scanning Device
If you require special assistance i.e. you have a wheelchair, walking stick or you are travelling with very small children, please ask a security officer for assistance.
The airport's commitment to maintaining the highest standards and efficiency continue Spring 2015 with the introduction of new x-ray machines and a securtiy scanner (previously referred to as a body scanner).
5. Hand searching of passengers.
You may also be required to undergo a pat down (hand search).
The search takes approximately 30 seconds, and involves a security officer of the same sex searching your garments to ensure you are not carrying any hidden items.
If you are unsure about any part of the 'hand search' process, ask the security officer to explain it to you.
6. Collect your items
Once the 'hand search' is completed you will be free to collect your items from the tray. Some items may be selected for further examination.

Destination Spotlight: Touring Independently on a Cruise in Norway
August 28, 2013 | By Erica Silverstein | No Comments
One of the most difficult parts of planning a cruise is figuring out what to do in port — especially if you don't want to take the ship's tours or organize a group to book an independently arranged tour in advance. Sometimes it's hard to strike a balance between spontaneity and not missing out on the best a destination can offer.
On a recent cruise on Celebrity Infinity in Norway, I was surprised to find many options for independent travel without advance booking. Here's a rundown of what I found — and I encourage readers to check the Cruise Critic message boards for more information from recent cruisers about what to do in cruise ports the world over.
Oslo: I'm not always fans of bus tours, but the Hop On Hop Off bus in Oslo was an easy way to get to most of the city's key attractions without walking or figuring out public transit. And it conveniently picks up right at the main cruise pier. In addition to being comprehensive — with 17 stops in downtown and at outlying museums — your ticket gets you discounts at many of the attractions. You can also walk to many downtown attractions, or take a ferry across to some of the farther-out museums.
Kristiansand: The small town is eminently walkable with a pretty waterfront and pedestrian shopping area. But you can also take the bus to the nearby zoo or mineral park. Just ask at the tourist office kiosk located right by the ship.
Stavanger: If museums are your thing, you can walk to several (Canning, Maritime and Petroleum Museums), as well as Old Stavanger, or choose the Hop On Hop Off bus, public transit or your own two feet to get to others not right on the harbor. You can book a Lysefjord and Pulpit Rock cruise at the tourist office, but remaining space sells out quickly and is not guaranteed. If your heart is set, I'd recommend advance booking independently or through your ship.
Alesund: A shuttle leaves from the pier to the Atlantic Sea Park — no ship's tour needed. The Hop On Hop Off bus also heads to the aquarium, as well as the Aksla viewpoint, the Sunnmore museum and a few city center locations. Or for a city tour, the Sightseeing Train (one of those tourist trams that looks like a steam train) also stops by the cruise port to take visitors on an hour-long ride around town. All the in-town attractions, like the Art Nouveau Center, are walkable, and you can climb the 400-plus steps to the Aksla viewpoint if you're in reasonable shape.
Geiranger: The tourist office sells a variety of same-day tours: kayaking, fishing, helicopter rides and fjord cruises. As tour space is limited, you will want to get off your ship early and book first thing — especially on days with several ships in port. They do sell out. The Hop On Hop Off bus is actually a 90-minute tour to two of the major viewpoints, with several departures throughout the day. A hiking map is available for self-guided trekking.
Flam: You can buy tickets for the famous Flam Railway day of, but you'll need to get to the train station early and be prepared for lines. By mid-morning, tickets are typically sold out. Depending on how busy the port is, you may also be able to purchase same-day tickets for fjord cruises and kayak tours, but they sell out as well. It's easy to rent bikes or strap on your walking shoes and explore the various paths around the waterfront and into the valley.
Bergen: Yet another destination with a Hop On Hop Off bus and plentiful public transit, Bergen is also easily walkable from your ship's shuttle drop-off point. You can take the funicular up to views and hiking trails, catch a bus from the tourist office to composer Edvard Grieg's former home for a tour and concert, or join a history-focused walking tour offered by the Bergen Museum (tickets include same-day access to a few local museums). Several museums and the downtown fish market are easily accessed on foot.

Entry 2
My name is Kelly C. Burke -- but I go by 'K.C.' -- and I am a junior on the rowing team. This will be my 3rd year rowing for the SMU Mustangs.
We had our first 30-minute erg test last Thursday afternoon. Everyone did an amazing job, all the hour runs and early morning practices are paying-off. We have now been in-season for 4 weeks. We are all really excited to be back on the water again. We are in the weight room on Monday and Wednesday and on the water almost every morning. Everyone is adjusting very well to waking up early again.
The team is bonding very nicely, and we are having fun getting ready for our first race. Our freshman are meshing very well with the rest of the team, and we are all having a lot of fun rowing in different boats every morning and learning more about our teammates everyday.
With less then 4 weeks till our first race, we have all been picking up the intensity and getting ready to show all the other schools what SMU rowers are made of. We had a successful fall last year and are anticipating an ever better fall season this year. We are all very excited to see how the next nine months go.

MON: No let-up
by Stuart Vose
Boss weighs up QPR clash.
Martin O'Neill says his side must keep their heads down and graft every single minute as they prepare to face QPR tomorrow night.
New Rangers boss Harry Redknapp takes his side north for his first match in charge, but O'Neill's focus is solely on his own squad.
We must go and compete, which we have been doing, and get that bit of luck which maybe has deserted us
- Martin O'Neill
"It's very much down to what we do," he said ahead of the game.
"I think we have a fair idea of the strengths and weaknesses of teams, and likewise that information is available to them about us.
"It's down to ourselves; we must go and compete, which we have been doing, and get that bit of luck which maybe has deserted us.
"Luck aside, we must go out and play for the full 90 minutes."
Sunderland lost out in a six-goal thriller against in-form West Brom last time out as they twice launched comebacks only to lose out on the counter-attack.
The Black Cats have suddenly lit the blue touch paper up front, with Stephane Sessegnon leading the way with goals in each of his last two games.
"A couple of weeks ago we were talking about how we couldn't score, and now we've scored six goals in three matches," O'Neill added.
"Our defence was reasonably strong, and now we're conceding goals.
We are certainly not good enough to coast through a game
- Martin O'Neill
"That's the nature of the game. We are capable of winning games, we have to stick at it and we have to perform for the full length of time.
"We are certainly not good enough to coast through a game. We don't have that ability at the moment. Not many teams in the league do.
"The best sides can take their foot off the pedal for 10 and 15 minutes knowing they have the quality to get a goal.
"At this minute we don't have that – we have to be full-on for the whole game."
Tuesday's opponents are without a league win all season and have collected four points from their first 13 games.
But O'Neill says they will head north in good spirits with Redknapp at the helm and following a battling performance in a 3-1 defeat at Manchester United.
"Harry is an excellent manager, and it's a difficult game for us," he explained.
We are certainly not good enough to coast through a game
- Martin O'Neill
"Although they haven't won this season, I've watched QPR play a few times and there was one particular game where I thought they were very unlucky.
"If the ball goes into the net at a given moment, it can turn everything.
"They'll come here with some confidence following their performance at Manchester United."
And the Sunderland boss says the table is still in an embryonic form and feels positions can quickly change.
"We are capable of winning football matches," he reiterated.
"The table is so concertinaed at the moment. Two wins can rocket you up the table.
"Three or four points separate a host of teams. I'm not talking about the very best sides, who are up there on merit.
"They have the best players and the best squads, and for the rest of us it's a fight right from August to May."

Authors: Luo, Yixi; Hu, Hong; Fangueiro, Raul

Abstract: The tensile and tearing behaviour of biaxial warp-knitted fabrics made with polyester fibre and coated with PVC under biaxial tensile loads has been studied. The typical tensile and tearing load-extension curves under biaxial tensile loads are presented and discussed. The failure mechanism of samples, in particular, by evaluation of the influence of crack length and direction under biaxial tensile loads is observed and analysed. The results show that the tensile properties of biaxial warp knitted fabrics coated with PVC depend on the yarn linear density, the densities of insertion and stitch yarns, the regularity of yarn tension during knitting and the quality of coated fabric. The pre-cracked tearing strength decreases with the increase in initial crack length and the maximum extension supported by a sample is increasing with the initial crack orientation.

Authors: Gokarneshan, N; Subramaniam, V; Anbumani, N

Abstract: The inter-fibre cohesion phenomenon is an important aspect to be considered, as it directly affects the yarn strength/tenacity and indirectly affects the productivity in ring spinning. Also, inter-fibre cohesive forces influence the individual fibre mobility in yarn structure and the yarn mobility in fabric structure. This paper critically reviews the past and recent research works on the inter-fibre cohesion and provides scope for further research in this area.

Abstract: An attempt has been made to summarize the research progress on low velocity drop weight impact properties of textile reinforced composites. The paper mainly reports the impact test parameters and textile reinforcement along with matrix, interphase effects, impact failure modes and major evaluation techniques for impact damage analyses such as ultrasonic scanning and retention of strength after impact.

Authors: Ke, Gui-zhen; Xu, Wei-lin; Yu, Wei-dong

Abstract: Dyeing properties of silk fabric with berberine have been studied in terms of the thermodynamic and kinetic factors, including standard affinity, enthalpy change, entropy change, dyeing rate, diffusion coefficient and activation energy of the diffusion. The results show that the adsorption isotherm of berberine on silk fabric belongs to Langmuir type. The analysis of dyeing thermodynamics shows that the adsorption of berberine on silk fabric is an exothermic process. When the fabric is dyed at higher temperature, the lower affinity and less dye uptake are obtained; however, the higher temperature increases the initial dyeing rate and diffusion coefficient.

God's Provision: Part I.By Daniel Valles, 09/08/2012
Psalm 37:23-26 "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed."
What we will looking into God's Word for today is to examine if we are the good man walking the steps that are ordered by the Lord. That criteria is paramount to the claiming of promises of the Lord's provision. We will also be looking at several diverse means by which the Lord provided.
The Lord provides us daily bread. He is a Light to our feet. He orders our steps. Notice that in each of those references, God gives direction in small amounts. He does not give out the complete map or trail. His commands are for the moment. He gives us just what we need, and we trust Him that He will lead as we follow one step at a time. As we follow Him, we are "in his way." When we do the commands that He commands us, then we are truly in the Will of God. Many people expect God to give them the complete blueprint to their life in some sort of vision that will lay out whether they are in the 'Will of God.' Being in the Will and Desire of God is simply following what He tells us to do! When Psalms 119:105 says, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path", it is describing how we have just enough light for the area near our feet, but in the long run, it has illuminated our whole path.
The good man not only knows what the steps are that he is to take, but he delights in following them. It is not enough just to read about what Christians are to do, and perhaps let out an hearty 'Amen' or two, if we do not obey them! James 1:25 reminds us, "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." Are we a doer of His Word? The Psalmist described a 'good man'. The Hebrew words have the idea of strong man, warrior, with an emphasis on the strength or ability to fight. Are you a wet noodle Christian, just along for the spiritual fuzzy feelings that you get out of your shallow church? Or are you a Christian, who, knowing what God commands, takes the initiative to boldly carry it out with zeal? 2 Corinthians 7:11 is a stark example where the Apostle describes Christians who are strong in following the steps of God. "For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter."
Many 'Christians' have the idea that God is some sort of security net that can fix the problems in their careless and carefree living. Many may even know somewhat about prophecy and mentally assert that God will 'provide'. But will He? If you study through the Psalms, God upholds those that follow in His steps. The Psalmist readily admits, in our verses, that even the godly go through hard times. "Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. " (vs. 24) It is not implying falling as falling into sin, but falling as being overwhelmed and overthrown. In our modern vernacular, we may say that we are at a 'low point in our life.'
In Psalm 56:11-13, the Psalmist alludes this when he
says, "In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can
do unto me. Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises
unto thee.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?" Deuteronomy 10:12-13 says, "And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?"
When we walk with the Lord, we fellowship with Him, and are at His right hand when He can help us when we go through troubling times. Psalm 80:17-18 recalls, "Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name."
Hosea 14:9 "Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein."
"I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." This is an amazing testimony to God's provision. However, I have met Christians who think that this verse applies to every Christian. It does not. Who does the verse specify as not having been forsaken? The righteous. Even a Christian can be defined as righteous or wicked. I have seen Christians, engaged in ministry work, who lives with the world, sipping from its dregs, who have the audacity to murmur that the Lord does not meet their needs when they do not walk in His steps, spoiling their children, watching unwholesome movies, buying entertainment centers, eating out - and then saying that they 'have seen His seed begging bread' when things get tight.
God is not an insurance policy against poor
stewardship! He is not there to erase our problems when we fall
because we were not following by His side! Ephesians 4:17-19
states, "This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their
mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the
life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the
blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given
themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with
greediness." Walking apart from God tenders a darkening of the
understanding, and a blinding of the heart. Worldly lusts and
desires creep in and take over because you are not following close to
Christ. We get into the most trouble when we walk "in the
vanity" of our own mind. We get to the point where we think
that we can handle things, and that we have matured in our naive
wisdom to the point where we can guide our life solely by our wit and
intellect. Galatians 5:16 reminds us, "Walk in the Spirit, and
ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." II Corinthians 5:7, "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
That brings us to the second half of this study. Do we as Christians who see the times bearing down on our world worry and fret because we do not have everything worked out? We absolutely need to work with prudence and discretion; but is our foundationary faith during these times resting solely on how well we have provided for ourselves, or the fact that without God's help and ultimate provision and wisdom, we would fall? If you have read my other article, Tempting God: The Errors of Presumed Protection, you know that there is great error in not taking adequate prudent precautions. Yet, at the same time, you can make many 'prudent' precautions and be walking in your own wisdom. Isaiah 5:21 warns, "Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" That whole chapter talks about the wicked. When we are not seeking the Lord's face for our wisdom and direction in life, we are setting ourselves up for disaster, even though we think we are acting wisely! Remember the symptoms of those who walk in the vanity of the Gentiles, following the world? Their understanding is darkened!
What should our response be? Ezra 8:21,31 is a classic example. "Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. ...Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way." When we get to the point in our lives where we realize tough times are just ahead, that our family may be in mortal danger, that our goods are in jeopardy, what do we do? Do we have a meeting with like-minded individuals as to 'prudent' steps to take? Eventfully, perhaps, but not first! The fleshing out takes place as we follow the steps God wants us to take, down His path. Ezra realized that if they were to have any safety on their journey if would not come from the king's soldiers, it would ultimately come from God. They did not have a planning meeting first and then ask God to bless their plans. It was asking God first, and then moving forward.
As Christians, we should not get the idea that a matter or trial is so great that God will have to intervene supernaturally somehow, and that there is nothing that we can do for ourselves. In Esther 4:13-14, Mordecai straightens out the young Esther and gives her the proper perspective in light of the looming annihilation of their people. "Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" He was telling Esther that ignoring a problem does not make it go away.
God makes provision if people act upon the circumstances that He has provided. God provided the way for the Jew's salvation from Haman's plot. God had provided the way without Esther even knowing about it. When Mordecai suggested that she was probably the one that was set up by God to intervene, she was probably shocked! It had not occurred to her! We can see it in her own wisdom when she tries to talk Mordecai out of it (vs.11)! It is when Mordecai reminds her that ultimate deliverance comes from God and not our own doings that she was able to get the strength to take the steps necessary when she said, "if I perish, I perish." She was saying that my earthly wisdom sees no end in sight to these actions, but my faith sees a God who can deliver in any circumstances - I will, therefore, do what He wants.
Furthermore, as Christians, the absolute next step after you realize that your wisdom is worthless without God, is the absolute availing of yourself of God's providence and wisdom. In verse 16, she says, "Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish." As we face our soon-to-come trials and calamities in this world, we need to be like Ezra, Mordecai, and Esther, beseeching our Lord "to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance." Solomon was granted one wish by the Lord, and he asked for wisdom. We as Christians need to cry out to God for it as well. Esther and Mordecai's prayers were not some little ditty that they said around the dinner table, or rote out during family devotions. They were serious with God! They gathered a prayer meeting like no other, cried out to God for three days straight praying for guidance and strength! They fully grasped what was going to happen in several months. They had eleven months before evil times were coming. They did not live life to the fullest and hope for the best later, they acted prudently and drew nigh to God! Waiting till disaster strikes is not the time to check how far away you wandered from God! Esther knew what principles should be followed from God's Word - preserving life and the innocent. What she did not know of herself was the steps to accomplish it. Reading your Bible will give you many of the general directions that we need to head in life. God, however, gives us the daily steps to take.
As we read the Bible, we find a general direction in 1 Timothy 5:8. "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." Obviously, as Christians, we should have a better concern and diligence for our family's well-being than our unsaved neighbors. It is in the implementation of this direction that many turn to their own wisdom, or the wisdom from the world. Some store up food, some move to rural locations, some get firearms, etc. etc. However, there is not a silver bullet plan that will work for every Christian. Why? The Bible shows by example that God provides for families, even in similar circumstances, differently. Each family in the Bible that we will look at was provided for in a different way when they followed the steps that God gave them. The steps He gave them did not work for their neighbors, and in some instances, no one else. That is why it is so vital that you get on your knees, and ask God for your daily bread, and for the steps that you are to take. God may not want you to do what your friend is doing with his family. He will provide for you the way that you need to go, if you follow Him.
Let us now look at several examples in the Old Testament. All of these five examples deal with the provision of basic food and needs. Even though all of these occur near the same time period (Elijah - Elisha), they are all to completely different types of individuals, and in completely different ways.
Our first example is of an individual - Elijah. God provides for single people as well as for families. This provision lasted probably for just a few months at the most. I Kings 17:6 says, "And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook." We are all familiar with the story. God told Elijah to go hide out in a place where God provided. At that particular place, God supernaturally provided food and gave Elijah his own private water supply. Elijah had to be listening to the Lord, and willing to move when he was directed to, and obedience to where he was supposed to go.
The second example is the widow of
Zarephath. This provision might have lasted two years. It
is interesting in that Zarephath is between Tyre and Sidon - it is a
Canannite city. It is also hometown area of Queen Jezebel (1
Kings 16:31). God provides in anyplace, providing that the
individual obeys His commands. He can also provide in areas
where we would least expect it.
I Kings 17:14-16 says, "For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah." We see the daily bread concept wrapped up with faith. Every day they, by faith, reached into the meal barrel for just what they needed. Each time was an act of obedience and faith in what God had specifically told them.
It is most amazing when Jesus Himself later mentions in Luke 4:26, "But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian." The way God provided for those two people worked only for them. Many Christians expect that the circumstances to come will uniquely warrant God's supernatural provision for everybody. Jesus shows that even when whole regions were full of starving widows, only one received this supernatural provision. It is not even repeated in Scripture. The closest occurrence would be Christ's own feeding of the thousands with bread and fishes - and for all we know, He did that only twice. Jesus also mentioned that out of the many lepers that were living at the time, only Naaman got special treatment. It is interesting that he (and the widow) were Gentile. But, they obeyed by faith the words that the Lord delivered to them by His prophet.
The third example is what we might call a preacher's wife - "a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets." She had suddenly become a widow. They owed debts apparently, and the creditors were coming to tear the family apart. A modern situation may be likened to social services coming to take one's children away because they do not appear to have the means to provide for them. In this instance, Elisha, the prophet who took the place of Elijah, told her the steps that she needed to take. II Kings 4:1-4 "...he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full." This supernatural provision lasted only a couple of hours. It was therefore critical that she obeyed the specifics exactly. Just like Elijah needed to go exactly where the Lord told him to go, this widow needed to go as far as she could when she was told to. Once she started pouring, there was no going around the neighborhood for more pots. She had to prepare, in a sense, before the provision came.
I have heard testimony from Christians imprisoned in Soviet Russia who were given very little food. They prayed that God would take away their hunger, and He did! While others were filled with hunger pains, God met their needs by not giving them anything and taking the hunger pains away! Again, a unique provision.
Our fourth example is the city of Samaria. This one-time provision provided for several days and weeks. This is interesting and different from the ones we looked at before. In the first three we looked at, food was created and expanded. Here, God did not act in the same 'supernatural' way. This time He brought about events to where existing food was brought to them. II Kings 7:1 "Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria." If you are familiar with the story, a whole army came and besieged the city, but God scared them away, and they left enough provision for a whole army behind!
If you have never read the life of George Muller, and how God miraculously provided food and resources for his orphanages in many unique ways, I highly encourage you to. It will greatly embolden your faith and prayer life.
Our final example is unique again. In this instance, nothing was given, no food appeared, no food was brought to their door. But, God provided the way. This provision for the Shunammite woman, in effect, lasted seven years - the longest period of all our examples. In II Kings 8:1, it says, "Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years." There is much that we as Christians living today can learn from this example. She was given prophecy of what was going to happen really soon. She was given an idea of how bad things would be - seven years of famine without respite. She was given the direction that she should go - get out of this area, it is going to be really bad here, really soon.
It is interesting that she was not told a specific place to go. All she was told was to go "wheresoever thou canst sojourn." However, obedience to what the Lord commanded saved her and her family years of heartache and possible death. It is also interesting that she went to the land of the Philistines (vs. 3), which were much further south near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The Bible does not mention why she chose that location. However, she probably went someplace that she knew would have a good supply of food outside of that region. Perhaps she chose one of the Philistine port cities. Speculation. What is important to note is in verse two, it says, "And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God." There was no hesitancy in her actions. As soon as the words were out of the prophet's mouth, she was up off the sofa to get moving boxes. The way the Lord provided for her was different than He provided for others. It appears that Gehazi and Elisha stayed in the land during that time (vs. 4). The way God provided for them was different than the way provided for her.
Christian, we have seen five completely different examples of unique and singled-out provision. We have seen the steps of obedience that were boldly taken in response to His Word. We have seen the absolute necessity to being close to Him where we can walk in His steps. I do not know what the Lord wants you to specifically do concerning your family and your circumstances. God knows that. I want to point you in the direction you need to go. We need to cleanse our hands and hearts and beseech God for the direction and steps that He would have us go. If God wants you to move, then do not let family, friends, or job hold you back from getting the moving boxes. If God wants you to stay, then ask God what steps He would have you take in your situation. Even if your are a single parent, widow, or a single individual, God has a way to provide for those that follow Him with all of their heart. Are you one who delights in following Christ, or do you need to get closer to Him? Perhaps you have fallen in sin, and you need Him to pull you up to where you should be. Psalm 40:2-4 reminds us, "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies."
Psalm 37:23-26 "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed."

Community Involvement
There are few factors more essential to lighting the way to financial well-being than the economic vitality and quality of life in the communities we serve.
Community involvement has consistently been an important and fundamental principal at SunTrust, supporting our purpose through activities spanning volunteerism, philanthropy and resource contributions above and beyond those outlined in the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).
Through 2013 and 2014, community involvement will remain one of the many ways in which SunTrust embodies our guiding principles and values to help foster stronger communities.
Demonstrations of community involvement include, but are not limited to:
- Volunteerism: Teammate community volunteerism totaled more than 220,000 hours. Organizations supported focused on financial literacy and well-being, and included Junior Achievement, Operation Hope, InCharge Debt Solutions, United Way and Goodwill.

Dispatching is a crucial function of field service software. So much so that some products focus exclusively in this one area. These systems typically include features for route planning, scheduling services and managing work orders, among other dispacthing-specfic activities.
With that in mind, we've created this buyer's guide, just to address the specific functions of this particular application for the field service market. Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Service Dispatch Software?
What Type of Buyer Are You?
The Vendor Landscape
Market Trends to Understand
These dispatch scheduling systems perform the crucial functions that are associated with sending technicians into the field to solve customer support issues that can't be handled remotely. This covers myriad industries including construction, plumbing, HVAC, home and mobile auto repair, among others. Using technology that's specifically designed for this purpose can result in massive improvements in scheduling efficiency and customer satisfaction, reducing costs and increasing the bottom line.
Features of dispatching software include:
Work order management. Create work orders with names, addresses and relevant notes, and assign them to workers in the field based on availability, proximity, urgency, level of expertise or other essential factors. Many systems also allow the dispatcher to track work order completion when used in conjunction with a mobile application.
Customer qualification. Provide the technician with all relevant customer information to complete the job, including work history and equipment model numbers.
Route planning. Organize work calls by location to reduce travel time, reducing fuel expenses and increasing the number of calls that can be scheduled per day. Many systems use a GPS to map routes, and some can prioritize directions according to time of day and traffic.
Scheduling. Send the right technician to the right job at a time they're available, and efficiently combine crews where multiple technicians or fleets might be needed. This basically centralizes all of your workers schedules into one module. The dispatcher can see everyone's availability, as well as what time they will be where. If a job suddenly comes up, the manager can quickly see who is available closest to the last minute job.
Signature capture. Allow workers to capture paperless signatures in the field using handheld electronic devices. This can be done through a mobile application on a smartphone, or a touch-screen tablet.
Inventory control. Ensure that your drivers always arrive to a call with the parts they'll need to close the ticket. Workers can also log what parts are used during the call to better track assets on hand. Or, they can check inventory remotely if a part is needed that isn't currently on the job site.
A full field dispatcher software suite may integrate dispatch solutions with other essential functions, including help desk, contract management, forecasting and reporting, equipment tracking, failure analysis, accounting and more.
When it comes to dispatch systems, there are basically two types of buyers:
Dispatch-only buyers. Small businesses looking to move beyond Microsoft Outlook, spreadsheets or even whiteboards and sticky notes to add a higher level of management capabilities may want just a simple dispatch program. This will provide a solution to basic dispatching needs without the extra financial burden of unnecessary features.
Enterprise buyers. Large organizations with multiple fleets that need to integrate across other company functions—including sales, accounting, inventory control and more—may want a more in-depth solution that combines all these applications into one. These buyers should look at CRM enterprise solutions that caters to work in the field.

Mobile. With the explosion of the mobile device market over the last decade, dispatch technology vendors would be remiss if they didn't provide some way for dispatchers and technicians to interact through the mobile environment. Mobile device applications provide any number of unique functions, including GPS directions/tracking, checking in/out upon arrival or closing the ticket, uploading photos for field support, parts transfer between trucks and more.
Web-based interfaces. Rather than a dedicated software program, many products are shifting to a Web-based interface, which let users access information from anywhere. These systems can also have special logins for partners and allow customers to schedule their own appointments. This is particularly useful for very large companies with multiple fleets and many workers that all need to access the same information, in real-time while offsite.
We're able to offer this service to buyers for free, because software vendors pay us on a "pay-per-lead" basis. Buyers get great advice. Sellers get great referrals.
