Love the taste
By Stephanie
from Reno, NV
About Me Avid Cyclist
I've used powerbar products since they first came out with the "hard tack" bar. I'm about brand loyalty and have rarely strayed in my use of powerbar products. I have tried other gels and bars, just for a change and to see if something works better than what I'm using. I've always gone back to powergel and powerbar products though. The vanilla is my favorite "go to" flavor but I also like a few of their other flavors. The packaging is easy to open with one hand and my teeth and I can feel an almost instant boost after consuming one.

My Go-To Energy Gel
By Bikerdude
from Las Vegas, Nevada
Easiest to carry in a jersey pocket. I particularly like the taste of the Double Latte. It is the only one that has a double shot of caffeine. I'v tried a lot of other different brands and energy products - this is the one I prefer.
Really give me a pick-me-up
By Addicted to peddling
from Texarkana, USA
These really give me a boost when I need it during a long ride or a flat out sprint on a mountain bike course. Keep some on me whenever I'm riding.
By con2christ
from Bakersfield, CA.
I generally like the hammer gel, however I really like the flavor of these and they work well for an extra boost during long rides
Really can tell a difference
Tried one of these because they were comparable to another supplement that was hard to chew and swallow. I found that I really can feel a little pick-me-up about 45 minutes into a mtb race. I won't race without them. And on long group road rides and training sessions they help keep me pulling. They can be messy if you're not careful, but it's not that big a deal for me. It's worth the benefits.

Love This Stuff
By Mealie Puddin
from Bluffton, SC
The viscosity of this product makes it so much easier and quicker to swallow than Gu. If the packet could be a little narrower this would also help with the product delivery.
Consistency better than GU

Firefighter Dies in Williamsburg Blaze
Lieutenant Gordon Matthew Ambelas had been with the FDNY for 14 years.
Lieutenant Gordon Matthew Ambelas, a 14-year veteran of the FDNY, was killed in a Saturday night fire in a public housing building in Williamsburg. NBC New York reports that Ambelas, who was among the 100 firefighters who responded to reports of a blaze on the 19th floor of the Wilson Street high-rise, became trapped in a bedroom while he was checking for residents to evacuate.
Officials said that the 40-year-old was pulled out of the building unconscious and was pronounced dead at Woodhull Medical Center a short time later. "We have lost a real hero," Mayor de Blasio said of Ambelas, who was honored last month for using the "jaws of life" to save a 7-year-old boy whose head and arm got stuck in a roll-down gate. "We're all very fortunate to have the men and women of FDNY at the ready to risk their own lives so that each and every one of us can be safe." Four other people — two firefighters and two people who lived in the high-rise — were treated for minor injuries.

Sometimes my combats are too boring, just a bunch of dice rolls. I want my fightings to be fast and various. Often is all about "you See the enemy, roll the dice a few Times, go on". This takes too time and is uninteresting. I'd like to make fights were the PCs actually interact and fight like in a movie scene, while often it's bland and just dice-rolling. Any ideas?

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Make your encounters more of a puzzle that needs to be solved than a nail that needs to be hit with a hammer.
Use monsters that will be difficult (but not impossible) for your PCs to defeat, and then set up the 'arena' in a way that the combatants can either use to their advantage or is dangerous to them.
A group I was in once faced an enemy much too strong for us, but we managed to pin him under some falling sand (we were in a dwarven manufactory of some sort) in order to damage him. Another personal example is a monster that was weakened by light, so we had one character standing with a mirror within a pillar of light coming from the ceiling while we attempted to keep the monster in the reflected beam so we could hurt it.
Perhaps there are archers on a rise above where the main party is fighting, and the rogue must find a way to reach them and remove them as a threat while the fighter stays behind to engage the main enemy? Don't be afraid to split the party during a fight so they can't just gang up on one enemy.
You just have to be creative. With infinite possibilities I can't possibly outline all of them here. Traps and other mechanisms, hazardous terrain, and other interactive elements go a long way into spicing up your encounters.
And don't forget: NPCs that are smart enough may use the terrain to their advantage as well. Don't let your PCs be the only ones to take advantage of any tricks.
If you want your players to become creative in a fight, such as by taking advantage of terrain (or create terrain advantage by fireballing the brush behind which the enemy is taking cover), or by pulling tricks on the enemy, you need to provide them with two things: material and example.
Players need material: "You are in a nondescript alley and find yourself surrounded by giant rats. Roll for initiative" doesn't give them anything to work with. "You stumble out of the tavern, comfortably drunk, and a few steps down the next alley that leads toward the harbor between abandoned-looking warehouses, the bard starts chatting up one of the statues of the local goddess that seem to be quite randomly distributed around the city. This one isn't in a particularly nice location, its hips barely rise above the empty crates and rotten fruit that lines both sides of the alley, with the occasional wooden beams thrown into the mix. As you try to pull the bard away from his first successful conquest of the night, you turn to find your way blocked by several giant rats who have not forgotten your attack on their home. Roll for initiative" - here, you have environment to work with.
Players also need examples: If rolling for attack and damage is all they've ever done for combat, they won't be able to make fantastic narratives out of the blue. Show them how the enemy uses the surroundings to their advantage, how they feint, and how they move from one combat area to another, where they hope to have better chance at beating the party. If the enemies make use of their advantages, you will be able to stat them out with fewer hitpoints - they won't need to be able to survive lots and lots of tedious hits to make combat both challenging and interesting.
If you want a more cinematic game, my first thought was "switch to a more narrative-driven rules system, something like Dungeon World". But since the OP is tagged Pathfinder, I'll assume you don't want to switch systems. So my second suggestion is to borrow elements from movies. One biggie is the environment itself, or what Hollywood would call the "set".
Fill your set with lots of details, and use those details in the scene to break up the back-and-forth dice rolling. Here are some examples off the top of my head, but every situation is different (or it should be!) and therefore each set presents different opportunities to make the environment part of the scene. Think of Captain Jack Sparrow...
You get the idea. Make the set part of the action. Let your PCs use the set as well. You can get a lot of interesting moves just by thinking about it for a minute.

Claim to fame: The Huntington Beach Pier is home to the annual U.S. Open of Surfing, known as the largest surf competition in the world. The event is owned and run by IMG, a global sports, entertainment and media company. The first U.S. Surfing Championship, as it was known, was held in Huntington in 1959, solidifying the area's reputation as a premier surfing destination. For new or veteran surfers, having consistent waves year-round with nice open space and no rocks or hazards makes Huntington Beach a place to thrive. And the surf culture, reflected in the name Surf City, makes for an inviting lifestyle. Huntington Beach-based surfline.com is a popular surfing-information resource and has webcams for the north and south sides of the pier.
Did you know? A Surfers' Hall of Fame resides on the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Main Street, across the street from the pier. The outdoor attraction features a statue of Duke Kahanamoku, considered the father of modern surfing, and imprints from legendary surfers such as Kelly Slater. "Everything is possible" and "Thanks HB!" reads Slater's imprint.

Image parameters
Just like previous PowerShot models the Pro1 provides a range of preset image parameter settings (Canon call these 'Effects'). In addition to the six presets (including Normal) there is a Custom setting which allows you to adjust contrast, sharpness and saturation by one level plus or minus. It's a pity Canon didn't take this opportunity to provide perhaps more than one Custom 'memory' and also allow owners a wider latitude or finer level of adjustment, perhaps -/+ 3 for each parameter.
Preset image 'Effects'
|Low Sharpening
|Black & White
Custom Effect: Contrast
Adjusting the tone alters the shape of the 'S curve' used to map the linear image data captured by the sensor into the correct gamma. A lower contrast setting maintains more of the original data's dynamic range but leads to a flatter looking image. A higher contrast setting stretches the grayscale (dark to light) of the image and could lead to clipping of both shadow detail and highlights.
|Luminosity histogram
Custom Effect: Sharpness
The Pro1 allows you to control the internal sharpening of the image by a degree of one plus and minus it's "normal" sharpness.
|Sharpness: Low (-)
|Sharpness: Normal (0)
|Sharpness: High (+)
Custom Effect: Saturation
Saturation adjustment allows you to control the strength of color in the final image. As you can see the minus and plus settings provide a fairly obvious swing in color response, this is a perfect example of where a finer level of adjustment would have been a better approach.
|50% crop
ND (Neutral Density) Filter
The Pro1 inherits this useful feature from the PowerShot G3/G5 digital camera's. An ND filter is a simply a filter which reduces the brightness of light entering the lens (without affecting color balance - hence 'neutral'). In the SLR world an ND filter would typically be attached to the end of the lens, however in the case of the Pro1 it's inside the camera and can be inserted or removed from the path of light between the lens and the CCD via a menu option. The ND filter in the Pro1 reduces brightness by three stops (3 EV).
ND Filters have lots of uses the main ones are probably (1) when you want to reduce the shutter speed to blur movement (such as flowing water), (2) in a very bright lit situation where you want to use maximum aperture to reduce depth of field and (3) when using external flash lights (such as studio strobes) which are too powerful.
Using the ND filter to tame studio strobe lights/ internal flash
Most studio strobe systems have far too much power for prosumer digital cameras (because of their limited minimum aperture). My studio setup is normally configured to be used with a digital SLR and normal aperture would be around F13. The Pro1 was connected to the strobe system using a hot-shoe -> PC Sync terminal adapter. As you can see in the samples below even at F8.0 there is far too much light and the image is overexposed. Enabling the ND filter solves this problem.

Matt Gatens started all four of his years at the UI. It certainly appears likely that Fran's recruit Mike Gessell will also.
July 23, 2012
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Random thoughts on a Sunday morning in the Heartland...
Zach's at it again. The PGA Tour's biggest fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes is attempting to take a really good year - he currently ranks No. 3 on the Tour's money list - and turn it into a really, really good year by claiming his second Major. Here's a link to the leaderboard for the 2012 Open Championship: HERE. Live coverage of the Open begins at 6 a.m. Iowa time on ESPN; Zach starts his round shortly after 8 a.m.
I think I mentioned earlier this summer Greg Davis's comments on freshmen. Iowa's new offensive coordinator said during the 2012 Transamerica Challenge at Finkbine that freshmen who play the skill positions more times than not these days have the skills and the strength needed to play right away...as long as they can adjust to the "speed of the college game." Well, I found myself thinking about Coach Davis' comments when I was reading this story about Fran's recruit, point-guard-to-be Mike Gessell, written by Scott Dochterman of the Gazete: HERE. It says plainly that Mike's got the skills. Then I took a close look at the pictures that appeared with the story and came to the conclusion that he's pretty far along on the strength path, too. It sure seems pretty likely that Mike will be Hawkeyes' floor general for the next four years.
If you have't watched this new video on Iowa linebacker coach LeVar Woods, I invite you check it out: HERE. As always, the work done by Bob Rahfeldt, a member of HawkVision staff under Mike Moriarity's direction, did a superior job with the production. More importantly, it's a great introduction to a great addition to Kirk's staff. LeVar is the full package: Bright, articulate, a former Hawkeye who took full advantage of the opportunities presented to him at the UI to earn his degree, advance to the NFL, and - in LeVar's case - meet his wife.
Lots of chatter and opinion on the situation at Penn State and rightfully so. I won't add any commentary to the pile that already exists other than to say it's probably a good thing that it has caused many to step back and evaluate what they do and how they do it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a little reflection.
One short addition to the previous thought: A bunch of folks gather in Chicago next week for the Big Ten Conference's kickoff to the college football season. I am eager to hear Jim Delany's annual address to those in attendance. The Big Ten's commissioner is a very intelligent man and his words will be sorted through thoroughly.
Kinnick Stadium finished fifth in ESPN.com's rankings of Big Ten football stadiums. I can live with that. It's tough to knock their choice for No. 1 - Ohio State, HERE. I do think, however, a pretty effective argument could be put forth that suggests Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are almost interchangeable. Just one man's (biased) opinion, of course.
I was disappointed to hear - officially - earlier this week that the Pac-12 was pulling the plug on the idea of all 12 Big Ten football teams playing games against the 12 Pac-12 schools in the not-too-distant future. These would have been great events for the paying customer and, most likely, games the student-athletes would have been a little more excited about. Maybe they'll revisit the decision. They should.
The recent hiring of Ryan Morningstar by UI wrestling coach Tom Brands said one thing to me about our wrestling coach that was far from a surprise: He's not interested in the status quo. Championships are what that guy is all about. Click HERE to read about our newest assistant wresting coach.
I took a moment the other day and studied our football schedule for 2012. I know each game is important and only a fool takes any of them for granted. So, having said that, I'm convinced 2012 will be defined in great measure by our games against Penn State in Kinnick and the next week at Northwestern. Both are winnable, so I say let's get 'em!
Have a great Sunday and, if you're riding in RAGBRAI, stay hydrated. It's going to be an incredibly taxing week, weather-wise.

Friday, March 21, 2014
I've been so troubled by the suicide of designer L'Wren Scott that I've been tongue-tied for days. Also, I didn't know her; I don't even know anyone who knew her; and I don't want to presume to know anything about her state of mind. However, other people have no such qualms and some general misconceptions about both business and depression that I've seen in news coverage and public commentary have been nagging at me so much that I have to say something.
I've disliked the naive and disparaging way in which some people have written about Scott's business success or lack thereof, as well as any perceived contrast between her personal lifestyle and professional bottom line. I started my career at a business-news wire service where I'd have to find the most meaningful numbers in a corporate-earnings report and publish a headline in a matter of seconds. I'd say I'm pretty good at that stuff and, because I haven't seen Scott's balance sheet, I'm leery of the reports about her company's losses and debts. But let's suppose it's true that she was $6 million in debt. When that figure came out, my immediate reaction was, "Hey, girl! Not bad!" Lots of start-up companies of all types lose money for years. (I always tell people that if they can't bear to lose any money, they shouldn't start a business.) Scott opened her company in 2006 — she was well within the "10 years to be an overnight success" start-up range. Sure, she had celebrity friends wearing her clothes, but, as I've pointed out before, fame doesn't equal fortune. Fashion is a tough fucking business and many emerging designers go through the same thing — better-known industry names like Zac Posen among them.
Losing money isn't necessarily a sign of long-term failure in any industry. Huge public companies post giant losses all the time. Twitter is a good example. In the last quarter of 2013, the company reported a net loss of over half a billion dollars. Like a lot of big companies, Twitter reports adjusted earnings that are supposed to more accurately reflect its operations by excluding things like one-time writedowns. (When companies play that kind of accounting game, it's often the adjusted number that the stock market is going to react to and that's why I said I had to look for the "most meaningful numbers" at my old job rather than "net profit or loss.") According to the adjusted report, Twitter made $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, Twitter lost over $645 million. Even the adjusted report showed a loss of over $34 million. What did Twitter's chief executive officer, Dick Costolo, say about this? "Twitter finished a great year with our strongest financial quarter to date." (That would be the strongest quarter since Twitter launched in 2006 — the same year Scott started her business.) Are any of you avid Twitter users saying, "God! Twitter is the most stupid idea EVER!" because of this? And what the market cared about was Twitter's potential for growth, not the bottom line. There is a lot more to understanding any business, big or small, than one number.
Also, I resent anyone saying that Scott was some kind of fraud because she used Instagram to share attractive pictures of her enjoying a luxurious lifestyle that her boyfriend, Mick Jagger, was happy to pay for. In fact, I've always been irked by the general criticism that people are editing themselves to show their best sides on social media. Of course, you edit yourself! We edited ourselves before social media! If the person who delivered your mail pre-Facebook asked, "How are you?" did you reveal the darkest part of your soul, your business worries, your family problems, or point out your giant pimple or new wrinkle? I hope not, because no one is obligated to go around like a raw wound, exposing personal agonies to the entire world. When it comes to business, you're a fool if you don't create an aura of success. You've got to show confidence in yourself if you want others to have confidence in you, so I strongly advise any of you entrepreneurs to fake it till you make it. And if you don't make it, fake it right up until the day that you go out of business. Fashion writer Cathy Horyn, who wrote one of the most thoughtful tributes to Scott, said she learned that Scott did plan to close her business this week. A business closure is no reason to look down on an entrepreneur. It sucks for the person doing it, obviously. No one enjoys a setback. But it happens all the time, to a lot of people … and to a lot of successful people, sometimes multiple times. As Arianna Huffington has said, "Failure is not the opposite of success." It's part of success.
Unfortunately, all of these points are impossible to comprehend if you're depressed. I've seen comments that L'Wren Scott had nothing to be depressed about, but depression is a disease that, like diabetes or cancer, doesn't distinguish between rich and poor, famous and totally unknown. If you're depressed, you don't have delusions and hallucinations like you do with schizophrenia but, more and more, I realize how much depressed people are out of touch with reality. The depressed person is sure his or her every action is catastrophic, and equally sure that everyone else is effortlessly achieving perfection. I speak from my own personal experience and the experiences of those near and dear to me. I don't know how many times I've heard people cry to me, sincerely meaning it, "If I don't do XYZ, this is THE END for me!" and I've said it a thousand times myself. The one time that stands out most in my memory was in 2009 or so. I'd muddled through the death of my business partner in 2006, then restarted and renamed my business right in time for the global economy to collapse in 2008, followed by the tripling of gold prices. I was bawling to a therapist that I couldn't close my business, I just COULDN'T, because my whole life would be RUINED. (I was always saying such things when nothing particularly bad was happening, so anything objectively wrong pushed me to the edge.) The doctor asked, "Really? Would it mean your whole life was a failure? Would you think someone else's life was worthless if she or he closed a business?" I grudgingly had to admit — not on the spot but a few weeks later — that I wouldn't judge anyone else so negatively. In fact, I knew and admired people who had closed more than one business. And then the doctor got me to admit that if I had to close the business, that I would be sad and disappointed and then … I would do something else. No one was shutting out other options except me. It might have been the first time in my life I realized that my mind was playing tricks on me. Depression was more than a bad mood; it was about seeing patterns, making connections and reaching conclusions that weren't true.
There were plenty of times that logic wouldn't make any impression on me, but, for some reason, it did then. Now I always resort to logic when I'm trying to convince someone to get treated for their depression. I'm very big on treatment. I vote for it early and often. Depressed people resist it because they're so sure they're seeing the truth, and how can you treat the truth? Plus there's the concept that we should all be able to use willpower and "snap out of it." I know that type of thinking, so when I hear people talking illogically about themselves, I try to convince them that their "truth" is a lie told by a disease, and diseases can be treated. Speaking of truth and treatment, in 1993, a psychiatrist named Peter D. Kramer wrote Listening to Prozac, which questioned whether Prozac — approved for treatment of depression in 1987 — changed people's legitimate, true characters in a trivial, "cosmetic" way. He worried it was some kind of performance-enhancing drug for the personality, used by folks who want to get ahead at work, for instance, by becoming medically more gregarious. That's the kind of pejorative, "you're doing it the easy way" attitude that scares genuinely depressed people away from appropriate treatment to this day. A patient who finds the right antidepressant (it's not the same medication for everyone, nor does everyone need medication) will learn that it's the sick, depressed thoughts that are false, obscuring the true personality the way clouds hide the sun. The sun is still there, you know. It's a tragedy when depression convinces someone that the light is gone forever.

UPDATED AT 1 PM, MARCH 21, TO ADD: A spokesman for L'Wren Scott's company told WWD the reports about financial condition of Scott's business are "highly misleading and inaccurate" and that the company is "fully able to meet … liabilities and pay all suppliers and customers."
In a statement, the spokesman said:
"Ms. Scott was considering a re-structure of her global business. The L'Wren Scott business consists of a wholesale business of ready-to-wear women's wear, a bespoke Couture business for private clients, a licensing business, Ms. Scott's globally recognized work as a fashion consultant and stylist and her collaborations such as her recent collection for Banana Republic."
The statement went on to point out that this was a young company:
"Her business overall was only seven years old and although some areas of the business had not yet reached their potential other parts of her business were proving successful. As a private business, details of income and turnover are not publicly disclosed, however it can be said that the long-term prospects for the business were encouraging."

You know, I thought about you when I read about Scott's suicide, and I was hoping that you would post something. This was brilliant– thanks.
It's also annoying that she's being continuously billed as someone's girlfriend.
Wendy: Thank you for this post. It's so insightful on so many levels. I'm not given to depression (though I was likely clinically depressed during my pertussis illness in 2011-12 – if only as a drug reaction to Prednisone. Mind you, there's a point to be made that almost dying of a preventable childhood disease is apt to depress one, regardless of drug reactions.) but I do suffer with OCD/anxiety (since childhood) and it is very hard to manage sometimes. People with OCD also think they're seeing the truth in every compulsive, bizarre mental loop and behaviour they enact, but it's a disease talking. So, while I'm horrified by Ms. Scott's suicide, I can totally understand how she, like most people who kill themselves, was in the grip of something far outside the realm of "level headed thinking".
I do wish that people could see the decline in themselves, the change as they go under the waves of mental disorder. Lord knows, when I was at my worst phase (when my child was young), I was SO opposed to going on medication. When finally my doctor convinced me that it was the only path, I was stunned by the immediate change in my brain chemistry. Honestly (and I know that OCD is statistically easier to treat with drugs than depression) within 2 days my brain was an entirely new place to live.
I thank the universe every day that I listened to that doctor.
Oh, and on one other note – I've been with my entrepreneurial husband (tech sector) for 20 years. In that time he has started and closed more businesses than I can remember. Really. One of them has survived the entire time and, at this point, could be considered to be quite successful. My point is, I know how different it looks on the outside and how much a business owner earns his or her success. And so-called failure. That's why I'm a civil servant. 🙂
This was a very insightful read, Wendy. Thanks.
Cathy Horyn's tribute was lovely, but the part that resonated most was how Horyn advised a burnt-out Scott to walk away, and instead Scott "dug in." I've been guilty of that so many times in the past and it's come up as a point of discussion now with my current manager. Sometimes it does take that objective third-person perspective to make you see that you're your own harshest critic.
Great post Wendy, in fact one of your best ever.
L'Wren Scott was a amazing talent.
I agree entirely with your assessment of how successful businesses are evaluated and I'm sad to see that so many uninformed comments have been published on so many websites.
L'Wren Scott's passing shocked and saddened me, too, dear Wendy…as it always does when I hear of the suicide of someone that I "know" (I'm using the term very loosely here.) To all outward appearances, she was leading what many of us might call a dream life – companion of a rock legend, designer to the stars – and yet she struggled (invisibly, it seems) with a depression so severe that she felt she couldn't go on.
Life can be a difficult journey: for some people, this is probably true most of the time; and for the "luckier" few, it's still likely to be the case some of the time. The "success" illustration could be used to describe the path of life in general, I think; but that anyone should feel so terribly lost that they would choose to end their own life…this is nothing else but heartbreaking.
Thank you for posting this, it's truly very sad. I know first-hand that fashion is a tough business, though I can't speak for what it feels like to be at her level. In my eyes, she was a huge success and I imagine that most people who knew OF her, but didn't know her personally, would assume the same. Success shouldn't be measured by income or sales. I'm sure it was extremely difficult for her to be losing money and to feel under-appreciated for her talent (and over-appreciated for being Mick's GF) but, as you point out, it can take 10 yrs to be an "overnight" success. Does that mean if she hung on for another year and a half her problems would be solved? No, but it certainly puts things into perspective. Clearly, she was not able to see that perspective or to think rationally — she must have been suffering from severe depression. I wish she would have sought help, but I'm not sure she even realized she needed help. She must have been putting up such a facade. I think she seemed like the type of person who thought it was all her fault and that she should be able to figure things out on her own. She put so much pressure on herself and set impossible standards. So beautiful, so talented. So sad.
Thank you for a wonderful post with a lot of good points that need to be said, and repeated often. Fashion isn't easy. Starting a business sure isn't easy and I admire people who take it on. Sometimes it seems too many people are too eager to jump on tearing things down. I've always agreed with that Ariana Huffington line, "failure is not the opposite of success" actually never trying is the opposite of success. Depression is another story though and depression can drag down irregardless of whether you have everything or nothing. It saddens me every time depression claims another victim.
Wendy, this is so lovely and so true. Yours and Horyn's are the most insightful, honest and loving tributes. Thank you, too, for that illustration: perfection!

He placed second overall behind Reggie Wyatt of Southern California who won the third heat with a time of 50.33.
Mason will compete in the quarterfinals of the 400 meter hurdles Friday with a scheduled start time of 7:30 p.m.
Teammate Gil Roberts later advanced in the men's 400 meter dash. Roberts, who entered the meet leading the NCAA with a time of 45.04, won the second heat with a time of 46.25 and advanced to the quarterfinals scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday.

Bringing Content, Commerce and Digital Experiences Together: Oracle Commerce V11.1 Release Announcement
By Katrina Gosek, Director | Commerce Product Strategy -Oracle on Jul 21, 2014
A short six months after the v11.0 release, Oracle Commerce 11.1 provides an impressive payload for enabling our customers to deliver differentiated digital commerce experiences. Oracle Commerce is a Digital Experience Platform that approaches content, commerce and experience in a fundamentally different way than any other solution on the market. Oracle Commerce 11.1 brings the Oracle Commerce 11 series to the next logical step to the unification of content, commerce and experience, solving the challenges around creating, automating and scaling inspired selling experiences to any shopper, in every context.
From the shopper's perspective, v11.1 provides further enhancements to deliver relevant, persistent commerce experiences wherever they are. From an internal operations perspective, v11.1 makes creating and scaling these experiences across all enterprise sites simpler.
The Oracle Commerce 11.1 release continues four major themes, which are in direct response to challenges our customers have shared with us:
1. Omni-channel Experience Delivery
2. Digital Experience and Content Management Business User Control
3. B2B Commerce Feature-set Enhancements
4. Platform TCO Enhancements & Integrations
Summaries below describe what we have done in v11.1 in each of these areas and why. For more detailed information on key release features, read the v11.1 What's New Document or join the Oracle Commerce Product Management team for a live webcast, demos and discussion of the latest release.
Omni-Channel Experience Delivery
Our customers have shared with us that they expect a platform that can manage all customer touchpoints across all channels. This includes a single instance that can service any device form factor—smartphone, tablet, or web; any site across countries, brands, languages, or currencies; and brings together the digital and in-store experience.
With this as our charter, we have expanded the multisite capabilities in the platform and have further enabled a Commerce Anywhere experience with the second release of the Oracle Commerce Assisted Selling Reference Application. The v11.1 release of the Assisted Selling Reference Application focuses on furthering the reach of the digital channel to in-store experiences so customers can have a seamless experience between digital and brick-and-mortar. Our focus with this release was to provide an out-of-the- box integration point with the Oracle Retail Point-of-Service (ORPOS) solution and the ability to suspend an order that was started on the Assisted Selling Reference Application and transfer the order for transaction on the ORPOS register.
The Oracle Commerce Platform delivered the core multisite framework in the 10 series of the platform, and we have continued to build out features on this framework. As we continue to unify the platform across commerce, content, and experience, we have introduced the concept of Site to the Experience Manager tool. Beginning in v11.1, business users will see sites within the Site Pages section of Experience Manager and the set of pages that have been created for each site.
Digital Experience and Content Management Business User Control
One of the core elements that defines a Digital Experience Management platform is the ability for business users to create, manage, and tune the customer experience with intuitive business user tools without the need for IT intervention. Oracle Commerce 11.1 brings two primary enhancements of significance to the business user in managing the experience: the ability to author and manage non-catalog content more easily with out-of-the-box extensions in the Business Control Center (BCC) and the ability to edit cartridge configuration details directly in the preview environment within Experience Manager.
The Oracle Commerce solution has always delivered a merchandising tool set to manage, enrich, and deliver product data across digital channels; many Oracle Commerce customers have also used this framework to manage non-catalog content such as articles, images, and marketing text. With the release of v11.1, business users can now leverage two new productized assets for authoring and enriching web content within the Merchandising tool suite.
The "edit in preview" capability enables business users to access configuration editors directly within the preview environment within Experience Manager. As the business user tooling leverages the preview environment as the form for editing experiences based on a particular context, business users have a more intuitive experience to manage digital commerce experiences.
B2B Commerce Feature-Set Enhancements
Many Oracle Commerce customers look to deliver omni-channel experiences across a number of different business models—B2C, B2B, and B2B2C—all within one unified Oracle Commerce platform. In fact, we find B2B scenarios to be one of the biggest areas of growth for Oracle Commerce, across distribution, manufacturing, and communications industry customers. Oracle Commerce 11.1 delivers two key capabilities targeted specifically at the B2B marketplace: B2B organization structure flexibility and a quoting framework.
The Oracle Commerce solution allows you to manage users across organizations. With Oracle Commerce 11.1, individuals are now allowed to be members of multiple organizations. The user can shop on behalf of a single organization at a time, using the catalog, pricing, etc. for that organization, and chose to switch their context to then buy on behalf of a second organization, using the catalog and pricing of the second organization.
Another critical B2B requirement, though often a requirement in B2C as well, is the ability for merchants to provide a guaranteed quote to customers. Oracle Commerce 11.1 now provides the ability to serve as the storefront of a quoting solution, providing basic quoting capabilities and new APIs to interact with backend systems, such as CPQ's, in order to expose quoting functionality to shoppers.
Platform TCO Enhancements & Integrations
As with all releases of the Oracle Commerce solution suite, enhancements are made to the core platform infrastructure in the form of new features, functional fixes, enhanced performance, enhanced documentation, and improved packaging and developer tools.
New integrations are also incorporated in to each release. In addition to building new APIs that form the foundation for future integrations (e.g., the quoting framework APIs that will be used to integrate in with the Oracle CPQ solution (via the Big Machines acquisition), v11.1 provides an out-of-the-box integration with the Coherence*Web solution. Coherence*Web recently added new capabilities that allow it to properly work with Oracle Commerce for Commerce session replication and session failover. The new capability called Concurrent Access to Same Session Instance is fully tested and supported with the Oracle Commerce platform.
Oracle Commerce 11.1 also brings enhancements to single sign-on capabilities in the platform across the business user tools suite, new enhancements to the MDEX in terms of how the spelling dictionaries are managed, and enhanced packaging and developer tools.

Chinese clone makers are starting to clone Chinese smartphones. Meet the No.1 M3, a Xiaomi MI3 clone
You know you've made it in the mobile world and are a successful company when an obscure Chinese smartphone maker or two start cloning your wares. This has been happening to the likes of Apple, Samsung, and HTC for years, and you may have already gotten used to reading about the latest clones out of China.
This time, however, things are a bit different. See, who would have expected a Chinese clone maker to clone a Chinese smartphone? Yet that's exactly what has happened to the Xiaomi MI3, that company's latest flagship offering. Xiaomi has become pretty much a phenomenon in China in its short history, and the phone maker that calls itself No.1 has taken notice.
Hence, the No.1 M3. This is a Xiaomi MI3 clone, and it's due to be available soon. It's priced at $199.99, which is around $127 less than the original. Obviously though, aside from the uncanny similarities in terms of looks, you're getting a different device altogether.
The No.1 M3 comes with a 5-inch 720p HD touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front camera, a 1.5 GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6589T processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage space, a microSD card slot, Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, FM radio, HSPA, dual-SIM support, and a 2,500 mAh battery. It runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Its dimensions are 135x69x8 mm, and it supposedly weighs just 91 grams (though that's probably a typo). It will be offered in black or yellow.
The specs here aren't half bad, especially for a clone and for that price. But make no mistake – this is no Xiaomi MI3.

HARRISONBURG — More than a year after a fatal car crash killed a Singers Glen woman, the driver of the car that killed her is likely headed to trial.
Daniel Ringgold, 64, was charged Feb. 1, 2013 with involuntary manslaughter and driving while intoxicated.
During a hearing in Rockingham County Circuit Court Tuesday, Judge Bruce Albertson scheduled Ringgold's jury trial for May 20.
On Jan. 22, 2013, Ringgold's Oldsmobile crossed the center line on Va. 42 and collided with a Pontiac driven by Darlene Piotrwoski, 60. Police say the crash occurred about two miles north of Harrisonburg near Buttermilk Creek Road.
Both were flown to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, where Piotrwoski died the next day.
Ringgold is free from Rockingham County Jail on a $2,000 bond.

Spotlight: An Ironclad New IronCAD
With the multi-kernel technology, any part in any assembly can be set to use either the ACIS or Parasolid kernel. Parts can be changed to use the alternate kernel at any time. If one kernel fails during a modeling operation, the software switches to the other kernel.
Also new in IronCAD 3.0 is constraint-free part and assembly substitution, which allows engineers to leverage previous designs in the creation of new ones. The software also integrates Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Thus, engineers can customize IronCAD for vertical applications using VBA Macros.
Parametric relationships have also been extended to encompass 2D and 3D SmartDimensions and IntelliShape vari ables across parts and assemblies. And a new Parameter Table lets users view and edit the parameters and relationships of a feature, part, or assembly. Relationships across assembly levels update automatically when assembly structures change.
Other advances include enhanced intelligent 2D drawing functions, file-size reductions, decreased load times, and improved handle behavior.
Priced at $4995, IronCAD 3.0 is available for Windows 95/98/NT. (Vis ionary Design Systems; Santa Clara, CA; 408-969-8000;

Wolfson College Choir is conducted by Lyn Alcántara, Director of College Music and a member of the BBC Singers. It is a mixed choir which draws its membership from across the college community. All college members and their partners are welcome to attend. There are no auditions, but enthusiasm, commitment and a basic ability to sing in tune are expected.
The choir rehearses each Monday night during term from 8-10pm in the Lee Hall. We usually perform at least one concert and one service per term as well as singing at the college summer garden party and the occasional external event. Recent non-college highlights include singing on BBC Songs of Praise and performing in Mahler's Symphony of thousand at Ely Cathedral.
In June 2006 and June 2007 the choir travelled to Rome, for several joint performances with Amici di Musica, an Italian choir with which Wolfson choir has long-standing links. In 2006 the program included a collection of sacred music by Mozart, including "Santa Maria", "Ave verum" and "Laudate dominum" from "Vesperae solennes". In 2007 the two choirs performed Vivaldi's "Gloria" and "Beatus vir", along with Pergolesi's "Stabat mater", sung by Yuri Takenaka (soprano) and Lyn Alcántara (mezzo soprano).
Our repertoire is a mix of sacred and secular, ranging from the Renaissance through to the twentieth century, including lighter music for garden parties and dinners. Recent works performed include: Britten Hymn to St. Cecilia, Purcell Ode on St. Cecilia's Day, Haydn St. Nicholas Mass, Messiah Part 1, Mozart Requiem, Brahms Requiem, Finzi In Terra Pax and Rutter Gloria. Most of the larger scale works are performed with a small orchestra. Please contact the conductor at lma24 <at> cam.ac.uk for further information.
Rehearsals begin on Monday 6th October in the Lee Hall from 8-10pm. New singers welcome- no auditions for Wolfson members.
Tuesday, 4th November at 6.15pm
College Service
Old Common Room
A smaller group is occasionally drawn from the ranks of the college choir to perform at dinners and other functions. Contact Lyn Alcántara for further information. This group does not rehearse on a regular basis.
At the start of each term the Director of Music, Lyn Alcántara usually gives a short singing workshop. This is aimed at people interested in joining the choir but who need some confidence and basic skills. There is no charge. Details will be sent by email.

Dear Republicans,
I am sorry I called you stupid. You remember, eight years ago when George W. Bush was re-elected by a vote total eerily similar to what President Obama won by last week, I said anyone who would vote for that moron is stupid. I am also sorry I said I was moving to Canada. I am sorry I let myself waste many days wondering how you could have let Bush win. I am sorry I got so upset.
I still think it was a bad decision, just ask the residents of New Orleans. I am sorry because what I said was an overreaction. We survived. Collectively this country has survived much worse and became stronger as a result. So take a deep breath, you will survive Obama.
In the days after the election, I have been reminded of the behavior of me and my friends in 2004. We cried, we screamed, we threatened to leave the country, and now I see the same behavior in you, but only much more vitriolic. Maybe it's Facebook? We didn't have that medium to vent on, but I have read your posts, and well, overreaction doesn't describe your posts. Nuclear meltdown is more appropriate. Calling those of us who voted for President Obama "people who have no faith and morals", and "sick and Godless". Even Mitt Romney said we voted for President Obama because we want free stuff. A little harsh, don't you think? Oh wait, you said those same things when you won in 2004. Back then it was so great that this country was finding God and rewarding individualism and maybe those evil liberals would just leave. Now you hope for an apocalypse in which zombies only eat Democrats.
I spent the week trying to figure you out if you had some valid concerns. I scoured your Facebook pages, news sites, and blogs for information. Unfortunately, what I found is that your concerns aren't really valid. You're just sore losers.
You're posting about socialism, again. President Obama is finally going to bring in that socialism you were all scared of in 2008. He is going to take your guns, too. He is going to kill the recovery and destroy the country. I have read your conspiracy theories about labor statistics and mass layoffs. CEO's are firing people because Obama won and raising prices on their pizzas to cover Obamacare. Your country is on its way to collapse because an un-American, non-Christian Muslim is in charge; and he won because people want free stuff. Buy gold and home school your children! Residents in all 50 states have even created petitions to secede from the union (because that worked so well the last time).
Somewhere along the line you got it into your heads that it was your way or nothing; anything less means the destruction and collapse of the country. You have created your own reality to support this myopic view. When President Obama won in 2008 and your way of governing was defeated, you decided to fight back by obstructing the legislative process. If your side does not win by fair means with the electorate, just create a new reality in which obstructionism is considered patriotism. Create your own facts. Labor statistics are questionable. Scientific facts are now opinion. You live in a bubble were truth is fiction and up is down. You have an echo chamber of enablers like Fox News, The Drudge Report, Americans for Prosperity, and the Independence Institute feeding you skewed partisan garbage and congratulating you for being smart enough to believe it. You had your own polls telling you the election was going to be a Romney blow out despite what the entire rest of the world said, and you believed it.
As a result of not being able to agree on real facts, we can't have intelligent conversations with the hope of finding common ground. James Carville said that this election was a wake-up call. "Sometimes in the south people will say, 'In order to get that boy's attention sometimes you've got to hit him upside the head with a 2x4.' The sound you heard on election night was pine on skull." The electorate wants a government based on facts that work together and offer compromise to get things done. Your side doesn't play that way. Pine meet skull.
Come join us in the world of facts where a President who creates jobs isn't accused of raising unemployment. Where a President who gets a failing grade from the Brady Center isn't accused of wanting to take away your guns. A true Socialist would have nationalized the auto industry and given us universal health care.
Join us in the real world where the national debt skyrocketed because of Republican policies. Two wars financed on the credit card while giving tax breaks to the wealthy has caused most of our problems in this country. A congressional report has disavowed your chosen form of economic stimulation (tax cuts for the wealthy) but you voted for the same stuff saying it was the only way to save us, and right now Republicans are already blustering about not giving an inch on raising taxes on the wealthy while threatening to take us over the "fiscal cliff" if they don't get their way.
Please come back to reality where a Christian man who has given his life to public service and is the epitome of the American dream became president by appealing to positive values like hope, inclusion, and the idea that "We pull each other up."
Listen to the suddenly sane and grownup members of your party. Like Bobby Jindal who said, "We need to trust the intelligence of the American people and we need to stop insulting the intelligence of the voters." Or Newt Gingrich who has been saying, you don't call the electorate stupid, you figure out what the voters wanted and where your party failed.
Back in 2004, when I threatened to move to Canada, a very smart man told me a real Democrat would stay and fight. This is your invitation to be real Republicans. Fight for your party. Step outside the bubble to the world of facts. Lose the racist, sexist, homophobic crap and let's have some grownup conversations about how to fix this mess in which we now find ourselves.
Come back to us. I know you are a lot smarter than your voting record indicates.

Multi-GRAMMY Award nominated David Grisman will perform two nights, Wednesday, January 15th, and Thursday, January 16th, 2014, with his Folk Jazz Trio at City Winery Chicago, part of the 5th Annual Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Fest 2014. David Grisman and his bass-playing son Sam, first met and played with guitarist/vocalist extraordinaire Jim Hurst a decade ago at the "Bluegrass at the Beach" camp in Oregon. In 2011, David attended one of Jim's remarkable solo performances in Sonoma County and was inspired to form this trio to explore some of their common roots in folk, country and jazz.
For nearly half a century, mandolinist, composer, bandleader, producer David Grisman has been a guiding force in the evolving world of acoustic music. His musical range is wide and deep — embracing many styles, genres and traditions.
An acoustic pioneer and innovator, David forged a unique personal artistic path, skillfully combining elements of the great American music/art forms — jazz and bluegrass with many international flavors and sensibilities to create his own distinctive idiom — "Dawg" music (the nickname given him by Jerry Garcia.) In doing so, he's inspired new generations of acoustic string musicians, while creating his own niche in contemporary music.
Grisman discovered the mandolin as a teenager growing up in New Jersey, where he met and became a disciple of mandolinist/folklorist Ralph Rinzler. Despite warnings from his piano teacher that it wasn't a "real" instrument, David learned to play the mandolin in the style of Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass music. He took it to Greenwich Village where he studied English at NYU, while immersed in the proliferating folk music scene of the early 1960s.
In 1963 Grisman made his first recordings both as an artist (Even Dozen Jug Band - Elektra) and producer (Red Allen, Frank Wakefield and the Kentuckians – Folkways.) In 1966 Red Allen offered David his first job with an authentic bluegrass band, the Kentuckians. Grisman began composing original tunes and playing with other urban bluegrass contemporaries like Peter Rowan and Jerry Garcia, with whom he would later form Old & in the Way.
David's interests spread to jazz in 1967, while playing in a folk-rock group, Earth Opera. A failed attempt at learning to play alto sax turned him into a student of jazz musicianship and theory. His burgeoning career as a session musician gave him experience playing many types of music and opportunities to stretch the boundaries of the mandolin. His discography is filled with notables including Jerry Garcia, Stephane Grappelli, the Grateful Dead, John Hartford, Del McCoury, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Earl Scruggs, James Taylor and Doc Watson.
Dawg's instrumental style found a home in 1974 when he formed the Great American Music Band with fiddler Richard Greene. "Nothing against singers," said David, "but it became apparent to me that I could play 90 minutes without one. Besides, Elvis never called." Within a year, David met guitar wizard Tony Rice, who moved to California where they started rehearsing a new group, the David Grisman Quintet (DGQ,) which also included violinist Darol Anger and bassist/mandolinist Todd Phillips. Since then the DGQ has featured such stellar notables as Svend Asmussen, Hal Blaine, Vassar Clements, Stephane Grappelli, Mike Marshall, Andy Statman and Frank Vignola. The current lineup includes bassist Jim Kerwin, flutist Matt Eakle, percussionist George Marsh, guitarist Grant Gordy and fiddler Mike Barnett (DGQ+).
After recording for major and independent labels, David founded Acoustic Disc in 1990 and entered the most prolific period of his career, producing 67 critically acclaimed CDs (five of which were Grammy-nominated.) In 2010 he launched AcousticOasis.com, the first download website devoted to acoustic music.
Recently Grisman has revisited his roots with the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience (DGBX). This very traditional group includes Keith Little on 5-string banjo, guitar and vocals, Jim Nunally on guitar and vocals, Chad Manning on fiddle, Samson Grisman on bass, with David on mandolin and vocals. Dawg also plays blues and old-time music with his old jugband-mate John Sebastian.
David Grisman has always been a revolutionary. He has deeply influenced contemporary acoustic practitioners through his own musical explorations and with the continuing success of Acoustic Disc and Acoustic Oasis, has helped make artist-owned independent labels a viable force in today's music business.

"That Obscure Object of Desire" by Rachelle Beaudoin.
Striving to take her artistic vision to international heights, Rachelle Beaudoin '04, lecturer of visual arts at the College, has recently received a Fulbright Grant to be an artist-in-residence at the quartier21, a center for contemporary art in Vienna, Austria. Next spring, she will spend two months collaborating with members of Mz. Baltazar's Laboratory, a non-profit that specializes in do-it-yourself projects.
"The group is uniquely focused on women," says Beaudoin. "It invites women to work on electronics projects in an encouraging and supportive environment." She will be creating a wearable technology art piece called "Positive Affirmation Underwear." In the piece, an altered bra and underwear will play pre-recorded affirmations when put on the body, such as "You are genuine," and, "You are beautiful," which contrasts with current sexualized social ideology.
Beaudoin explains, "I am very interested in collaborative art-making practices and social practice." The Fulbright Grant will allow her to "work internationally with other artists who have similar interests."
After completing a grueling application that included a sizeable project description, letters of support from both home and abroad, and visual samples of previous work, Beaudoin thanks Holy Cross for making her the artist she is today. "The College is a very special place to me and has always been a place where I have felt supported in my artistic endeavors," she says. As a student, she worked with professors Cristi Rinklin, Michael Beatty and Susan Schmidt of the visual arts department, who helped her infuse her work "with meaning, using art as a method of communication and cultural critique."
A member of the Holy Cross class of 2004, she studied studio art and played ice hockey. She earned her M.F.A in digital media from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2007. She is also a 2007 graduate of the Brown University Sheridan Teaching Program. Beaudoin teaches digital media and is currently in residence at the Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado. As a performance and video artist, she creates videos in her exploration of feminist iconography and "the body, as site for art, and activator, and as an object."
Beaudoin will be displaying three videos in "Spark: A Celebration of Alumnae Artists from Holy Cross," on view from March 14 – April 12, in the Cantor Art Gallery at the College.
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Recipients of Fulbright grants are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential in their fields. The program operates in over 155 countries worldwide.

Around Notre DamePosted by Linda under Life in Paris
[5] Comments
After our visit to the Cluny Museum and lunch, Lisa and I headed toward Notre Dame, a short distance away. It was a bit chilly but the sun was out and it was great to be outside.
Right across the street from where we ate was this bagel place. I'm starting not to be surprised when I see something American in Paris.
Here's a selection of what was for sale. Lisa, being a New Jersey girl, bought one to try out but she said that it was too baguette like, not dense and heavy as she is used to. They had cheese cake there too.
So, on we went to Notre Dame which is one of those places that always take your breath away.
You find this on the bridge behind Notre Dame. Lisa is starting a campaign to make it illegal to do this. The bridge sides are starting to collapse from the weight of the locks, the rust that forms is damaging and all of the keys thrown into the Seine don't help the water. At first I thought it was rather charming but it does seem to be getting out of hand. People are there now to take photos of the locks more than looking at what is around them-that would be Notre Dame in this case. Lisa even heard a guide tell his clients that the Pont des Arts is called The Bridge of Locks.
Someone from Austin put this on the bridge-my old home city.
I saw this in the window of a wine shop on the way home. I always like a little humor.

All that English and those American products make it look like Paris has been taken over by the Yanks! (That Austin lock is awful!)
I must say that those locks look pretty awful. They need to be cut off.
Hello Linda, from sunny Southern California. That last photo made me smile, and I totally agree with the sentiment! That bridge really has gotten out of hand . . . every time I see a photo of it over the space of the past few years, it is more and more crowded with locks.
It is sad to see so many American things infiltrating France. I hope they take a stance against it. And, although the lock idea is charming, people always take it too far.
Our new initiative to shift public awareness of the downside of "love locks" and to get the locks off the bridges is called NO LOVE LOCKS™ and you can find out more here: http://www.NoLoveLocks.com. We're also on Facebook http://www.Facebook.com/NoLoveLocks and Twitter http://www.Twitter.com/NoLoveLocks. This issue isn't just a Parisian one, either; the locks are getting out of control in other cities world-wide.

Program Assessment
Assessment Process
Program Goals
Competency Maps
Direct and Indirect Measures
Assessment Resources for Faculty
Assessment Resources for Students
A program goal is a general statement about the expected learning outcome of students completing a program. A competency is a more specific statement of expected learning outcome that is measurable. Each program at the college should have well-defined goals and student competencies that make an effective assessment program possible.
There are dozens of programs at the college, each with its own set of program goals and student competencies. It would be difficult to list all of the goals and competencies from every program at the college because a healthy assessment program should lead to changes; therefore, goals and competencies should be continually reviewed and revised.
Goal statements should be relatively broad descriptions of long-range outcomes related to student learning. Well-written goal statements will function as a driving force for decision making within the program, including the development of more specific learning outcomes for students. Programs usually have four or five goals for student learning, but the actual number depends upon the nature of the program.
The process of constructing student learning goals is relatively simple, including these important steps:
Students should be able to use appropriate formatting for business communications.
The outcome is fairly narrow.
Students should be able to demonstrate effective business communication skills.
Students should know how to think critically and should be able to exercise civic responsibility.
The statement seems to reflect two distinct goal areas.
Students should know how to think critically.
Students should be able to exercise civic responsibility.
Once goals for student learning are developed, the program can turn its attention to writing student competency statements. A competency is a specific, measurable student learning outcome. An ideal competency statement will identify one specific ability or skill that can be measured in a fairly straightforward way. The number of competencies will depend upon the number of skills and abilities that need to be measured in order to assess the overall goal area. Collectively, the competency statements should provide comprehensive coverage of the associated program goal.
Competency statements will help to direct the actual assessment that takes place within a program. If a competency statement is important enough to state, it should be important enough to assess. Good competency statements would have the following characteristics:
Students should be able to write effective papers
Students should be able to deliver effective oral presentations.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We give thanks to all that we have, and to those who suffer from hunger and no shelter we think of you and strive for change in the world. We extend our wishes for peace in the Middle East, in Northern Africa, and other parts of this continent of 9 million refugees and displaced people driven from their homes because of civil wars, drought, and poverty. We give thanks to Mother Nature for providing such abundance of food and clean water that we have in our country and to all those who sit down to dinner this evening but who are far from home and their loved ones, we wish you safe travel.
Hauoli Ia Ho'omai'kai. Life is Good.

This past Wednesday, Wendy's in partnership with Molly Sims, hosted a media event at Wendy's Midtown Manhattan location to showcase the brand's newest salad collection, Asian Cashew Chicken and BBQ Ranch Chicken. Guests were able to try both salads as well as an assortment of healthy mocktails. The salads are delicious with premium ingredients such as spicy cashews, edamame, and grilled chicken. Molly showed off style boards that she created, all inspired by the new salad collection, and promoted the #NewSaladCollection campaign – a partnership with Polyvore– which gives consumers the opportunity to create online style boards inspired by Wendy's new premium salads.
According to Beth Thibault, Culinary and Product Innovation Senior Manager for Wendy's, Molly is the perfect spokesperson for Wendy's new premium salads, as she is a style icon, always on the go, and looking for something healthy to have with her. During a Q&A at the event, Molly shared some style tips with guests. Her hot trends for the Spring include "beiges, nudes, the cross body satchel, bohemian looks, a lot of color, color blocking, the frayed look, and the white oversized boyfriend blazer." Trends that work for her both in NY and LA year-round include "a long boho dress, a hippie skirt, and white eyelet" pieces. She also expressed that "mixing high and low is important." In other words, she suggests splurging on that one classic item that you know you'll use all the time, but for things you'll use less or that might be easier to find, go for the less expensive versions.
Consumers can visit Polyvore.com/Wendys to take a look at Molly's style boards and then create their own boards, by selecting from Wendy's salad images and fashions inspired by the salads. Molly will be judging this contest and the entrants with the best style boards will win $1,000 to stock up on their #NewSaladCollection styles. There are four opportunities to enter the contest:
• Now – March 24
• April 14 – April 20
• June 16 – June 22
• Early July
Be sure to enter this fabulous contest!

A man escaped arrest after a reported robbery attempt Sunday night in Hazel Dell.
The incident happened around 9:20 p.m. Sunday at the Walgreens store at 9812 N.E. Highway 99, said Sgt. Fred Neiman, Clark County Sheriff's Office spokesman.
According to Neiman, a man attempted to reach into an open cash drawer while the clerk was helping another customer. The clerk slammed the drawer shut before the man got any cash.
The suspect, described as a white male in his mid-20s, weighing about 150 pounds and wearing a red jacket and light-colored shorts, ran out of the store.
A police tracking dog was called to the scene but wasn't able to find the suspect, Neiman said.
No one was injured and no weapon was displayed.
