How Positivism Enhances Our Lives
Much has been said about the role of stress in developing diseases. But little do we know about how positivism impacts our general health. Whether you?re a famous celebrity or a typical housewife, you need to understand that both stress and optimism have significant impact on our lives.
Avoid negative thoughts
It?s quite obvious that the best thing to avoid negative thoughts when you want to harness your inner positivity. It?s also the first step in achieving total positivism. But do you know what are the things that cause negative thoughts? In reality, most people are exposed to negative thoughts than positive ones like reading news about celebrities exposed and other rumors.
Instead of wasting your time and effort on useless things, you can divert your attention to more healthy and other things that promote positivism, such as growing fish that algae eaters that are absolutely adorable.
Find time to relax
Relaxation offers plenty of benefits not only to our physical health, but also to our mental and psychological wellness. Finding time to relax amid your busy schedule is essential in keeping your physical and mental health at its best, which can be compared to Google break.
If you?re into reading, you can allot at least an hour or two reading 50 shades of grey epub or any book that interests you such as how to write wedding card messages. What?s important is that you can insert relaxing activities in your busy life.
Finding time to relax is important whether you?re an ordinary citizen or a high profile celebrity like Robert de Niro and wife. Despite their busy schedules and tons of engagements in a daily basis, the couple can still find time for them and do things that they both enjoy such as traveling, reading books, shopping with the boys and all. You too can find time to relax and do as a habit.

CORBIN, Ky. (WYMT) -- The Lynn Camp Wildcats did just enough to finish above .500 last season, finishing the year with a 16-15 record – a rare winning season when you look at the recent past.
"This year, we have given a lot more effort towards working hard and getting better because we have a lot of young guys this year and hopefully we will have some people step up," junior guard Skylar McFarland said.
"With the new coach, I think there's going to be a lot of better and improved things for this year," Austin Withrow, a junior guard, said. "There's going to be a lot more of a fast, up tempo pace game. Instead of last year, we played like a very slow game and didn't really stand a chance against most teams playing full man-to-man defense full court. I think we have got a lot of good things coming this way this year with him getting in being our new coach. He's really going to help us a lot."
The Wildcats are hoping to build on their success with their new head coach, Eric Swords, who is coming from UVa.-Wise as an assistant.
"We are going to be playing as a team this year," senior guard Justin Hammonds said. "Instead of last year, we were just playing one man for themselves. This year, we are going to be playing as a team."
"I think they will be surprised at how quick we are in our press and things like that because I think in the past, they slowed it down," the first-year head coach said. "But now we got some fast guys pressing up and down so I think they will be surprised about the speed of us."

Shyama Perera
Shyama Perera was the first Sri Lankan child to be born in Moscow. Her mother brought her to England in 1962, in vain pursuit of her father. Now a writer and broadcaster, she lives in north-west London with her daughters, Nushy and Tushy. [publisher blurb]

Taking Precautions
New Holland Publisher (2004)
A fascinating account of the often imaginative ways in which humans throughout history have tried to prevent themselves from propagating the race. These range from crocodile dung pessaries, diaphragms made from lemon halves and the linen condoms pioneered by the Italian anatomist Falloppio in the 16th century, through to the breakthrough of the Pill - and the women's liberation it represented - in the 1960s and beyond to the 21st century. Although the methods of today are relatively sophisticated, a foolproof form of contraception has yet to be found if the number of unplanned pregnancies each year is anything to go by. With fascinating illustrations, Taking Precautions is an engrossing, thorough, down-to-earth and amusing history of an often taboo subject.
Sawnet Review
by Lisa E. J. Lau
Do the Right Thing
Sceptre, London (2002)
Ingeniously using the legend of Rama and Sita and placing it in a modern-day setting, Perera's novel is the funny and moving account of Chita, an Indian woman who struggles to combine a traditional family life with a demanding career. Added to these demands, are the attentions of Chita's beguiling American boss and the temptations of lust and money presented by company reshuffling.

I don't have time to test these suggestions, but in the past I've used a couple techniques, so these would be worth trying:
For lots of tables... use Mif2Go (omsys.com) to automatically convert the FM source to clean, formatted .rtf. Open the .rtf in Word, define the table, copy, and paste into Excel.
(I don't know what would happen if you opened the .rtf directly in Excel... I don't know how it would deal with regular text.)
For just a few tables, I think you could live without Mif2Go and use FM's save as .rtf function, although it doesn't generate as clean a file.
You're probably still going to have to do some hand formatting in Excel, I suspect.

Much of the concern about cell phones and instant messaging and Twitter has been focused on how children who incessantly use the technology are affected by it. But parents' use of such technology — and its effect on their offspring — is now becoming an equal source of concern to some child-development researchers.

On-Campus Housing
If you are a new undergraduate student, you are probably living in a residence hall. Our office staff will bring you directly from the bus station to the residence hall. The dorms are open early to accommodate international students. Please note that there is no bedding provided upon arrival so please bring a minimum of $30-$50 US Dollar cash with you to purchase bedding, basic supplies and food for the first few nights in the dorm. For summer and fall arrivals, you can wait for a couple of months before purchasing a heavier blanket immediately.
The OIP recommends that international students live on campus for at least the first two years (undergraduate students) or one semester (graduate students) because it is the best way to meet American students and adjust to the U.S. Many students opt to live in Brandt Hall because it is open during break periods; however, you may live in another hall and find a friend's room to stay in during breaks. Make sure you pay attention to the rules about the length of stay in residence halls and requirements for break housing, such as completing forms and picking up new keys BEFORE the deadline. In general it is necessary to move out after your exams are finished. Your RA (resident assistant) will help to explain other rules, and the Office of Residential Life (in Kretzmann Hall, phone 464-5413) will also be happy to help you. You can also check their website for further details: http://www.valpo.edu/reslife/.
You may want to live off-campus for dietary or other reasons; however, if you are under 22, you must file a petition with the Housing Office to do so. Do not sign the off-campus 'lease' before you are 'released' from on campus by res-life. There are several apartment complexes around campus, and many houses are divided into apartments. When you seek an apartment, make sure it meets your needs and that you can meet your obligations for rent and damages.
Off-campus Housing
Searching for an Apartment
It is best to start by asking your friends if they know of an opening. Many times, other students are looking for roommates or renters. This "word-of-mouth" method is usually best. The Graduate School website maintains a list of apartments for rent: www.valpo.edu/grad/assets/docs/housing.pdf. The Times and The Torch newspapers also carry "classified" listings of places to rent. The phone book has agencies listed under "Apartments" (in the yellow pages), which rent apartments. Finally, you may see "For Rent" signs on houses near campus.
Choosing an Apartment
When you find some good possibilities, call the landlord or rental agency and ask about the location and cost. If you find the rent to be reasonable, set up an appointment to see the apartment. Ask to see the actual apartment, not a "model". Is the apartment clean and ready for immediate occupancy? Think of some questions you want to ask ahead of time, such as the cost of utilities and length of lease. Do not sign the lease right away-- give yourself some time to think about it.
Questions to Ask
Here are some questions to ask the landlord and yourself:
The Lease
After asking about the length of the lease, find out when the rent is due and how it is to be paid. Ask about the security deposit (usually it is equal to one month's rent), and find out what it covers and how much you will get back. Ask what the conditions are if you break the lease, or if your landlord breaks the lease. Remember, once you sign the lease, you are responsible for adhering to its terms, so take your time and get advice on it if needed. DO NOT LEASE apartments for friends, as they may back out and you will be stuck with the lease. Again, do not sign the off-campus 'lease' before you are 'released' from on campus by res-life.
Insurance and Safety
Your landlord will most likely not have insurance to cover your personal belongings. It is not necessary to have renters insurance, but you may want to buy your own policy if you own expensive things (computer equipment, etc). Short of insurance, it is always a good policy to rent an apartment that is kept in good condition and can be secured with good locks. Use common sense in not overloading circuits with too many electrical appliances, turning them off when not in use, and remember to lock your door whenever you leave. It is useful to know your escape route in case of fire, and to keep a list of emergency numbers next to the phone. Prices range from $100-$150 for a year, depending on deductible, which over 12 months, is about $8-$12 a month.
Other Responsibilities
Keep your apartment in good shape, and report any broken features to your manager right away. Try to keep it clean. Any change in tenants should be reported to the landlord, such as when you change roommates or sub-lease the apartment to someone else. Short-term visitors are okay. Be respectful of your neighbor's rights to quiet, cleanliness, etc. Your American neighbors may not understand some of the things you do or may feel uncomfortable in approaching you. If you are patient and courteous, most problems between neighbors can be easily solved.

New Jersey infants infected with Herpes allegedly transmitted from mohel. By Debra Nussbaum CohenTags: Jewish WorldJewish law
Two Jewish infants in New Jersey were recently infected with — but survived — a herpes virus attributed to their ritual circumcisers' use of an oral suctioning technique that is said to have caused the death of an infant in New York in September.
Dr. Margaret Fisher, chair of pediatrics at Monmouth Medical Center, told the Forward that a newborn boy was admitted to the center within the past month, infected with the virus, known as HSV-1, within days of his circumcision. The other case "was in the last year or two," said Fisher, a pediatric infectious disease specialist. Both boys had herpes lesions on their genitals but "extremely mild cases," she said, and both were successfully treated for 10 days with intravenous anti-viral medication.
The two babies were admitted to a hospital close to Lakewood, N.J., which is home to a large ultra-Orthodox community.
News of the New Jersey infections comes amid renewed debate sparked by the report of the baby who died in September of HSV-1, acquired when his mohel orally suctioned his circumcision wound, according to New York City officials. The procedure, known in Hebrew as metzitzah b'peh, was last blamed for causing an infant death in New York in 2006.

Veronica Tucker would have done the same thing if the man she helped save had been anyone else.
"Someone would've been waiting for him to come home," the sixth-grader at North Creek Academy in Walnut Creek says of her valiant efforts.
In this case, she and a new summer camp cabin mate Grace McAdoo, both from Concord, instinctively teamed up to save Veronica's dad.
The girls are being recognized with a proclamation by the Concord City Council, which will be presented at the meeting Tuesday, Sept. 9.
"I feel like I don't deserve it, because of course I was going to save him. I didn't want to lose my dad," Veronica says.
The girls were in the midst of enjoying a weeklong experience at Camp Concord at Lake Tahoe, where her dad was volunteering as a chaperon.
Veronica was able to attend summer camp on a scholarship issued by Concord Junior Giants following a challenge that she met: reading for 8,000 minutes.
"She really went to town," her father says with palpable pride.
On July 24, the group had made the trek to the lake for a free day of swimming.
Tucker swam out about 35 or 40 feet, while his daughter, whom he refers to as "born obedient," and Grace paddled nearby in a double kayak.
Tucker, a diabetic -- whose recent change in medication, coupled with the altitude and cold temperature of the lake -- suddenly lost control of his extremities, struggled to breathe when his "chest locked up," and managed to shout out for help, before the former longtime search-and-rescue volunteer started to sink beneath the water's surface.
Hearing her dad's call, Veronica and Grace, a fifth-grader at Ygnacio Valley Christian School in Concord, started paddling feverishly and pulled up alongside, with Veronica grabbing hold of his arm and securing it with a rope.
"At first I thought he just wanted to play with us," says Grace, "but Veronica said 'no, he's drowning.'"
"She knew this was critical," Tucker says.
Meanwhile, another pair of kayakers came up along the other side of Tucker and secured his arm in the same fashion -- and the vessels pulled him to shore, where he regained consciousness.
Tucker chalks up his survival to good karma derived from a life of always thinking of others that his parents had ingrained -- and the help of two 10-year-old girls.
"It was kind of exciting to save someone," says Grace, who has aspirations of a career as a physician. "He thanked me for being there."
"I'm here because of these girls. To me, they're (heroines)," Tucker says. "I'm taking everyday as a new day. It takes just a matter of moments."

A wide range of reasonably priced living accommodations is available for rent in University Circle, the adjoining suburb of Cleveland Heights, and other nearby eastern suburbs. Clarke Tower is a modern 11-story residence hall for unmarried graduate students.
Off-campus rental accommodations include rooms, apartments, and houses. Many are in Cleveland Heights within convenient walking distance of campus. Other such properties are located in neighboring Shaker Heights and University Heights. Students often share apartments in these areas for $180 to $240 each per month. Private apartments for married students rent from around $500 to $600 a month.
The University Housing Bureau assists students in finding housing on and off campus. The Department of Chemistry can also help entering students find housing.
The Graduate Student Association (GSA) of the Department of Chemistry is an organization that promotes the collective interests of the graduate students in the department, provides an official communication link with the faculty, and coordinates various professional and social activities. Membership is open to all chemistry graduate students who pay nominal dues. The GSA is led by a governing board of seven upperlevel and two first-year graduate students. Members of the GSA have seats on departmental Committees and use these positions to advance the views of graduate students on current issues. The GSA also sponsors the department's fall picnic, Christmas party, and other festivities, and helps each fall with orientation for new students.
The Department of Chemistry actively assists its students in finding their first professional positions, devoting considerable effort to placing them in jobs for which they are well suited and in which they are likely to prosper.
The record of professional achievements by the graduate alumni of the department is a genuinely impressive one. Most have taken positions both challenging and financially rewarding, often with considerable responsibility and authority.
About 55 percent of the Ph.D. alumni hold industrial or government posts, and about 21 percent are in academic careers. Those with industrial jobs are typically situated with major companies such as duPont, BF Goodrich, BP America, Dow, and General Electric. Those in academic careers have a range of teaching, research, and administrative positions. Alumni are to be found on the faculties of such universities as Cornell, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State, and Purdue. Approximately 6 percent of the Ph.D. alumni work in government laboratories, principally those of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Almost all of the department's Ph.D. alumni live and work in the United States, with a large fraction in the lower Great Lakes states.
The department follows the careers of its alumni with interest and has contact with most of them. Individual faculty and the department as a whole stand ready to provide career development help to alumni whenever asked.
Many of the alumni maintain active professional as well as personal relationships with the department. A number have served on consultative and governing boards of the department in recent years. Alumni who live near the campus regularly attend the colloquia and Frontiers in Chemistry lecture series and participate in various special courses and workshops.

This Land Is Your Land
by Woody Guthrie
Calling Card
"Here's this guy who always had all these words and now that he's making it really big, he can't say anything" (Klein xiv). Woody Guthrie died in 1967 after spending the last twelve years of his life in the hospital.
Luckily for his admirers, Woody Guthrie did a lot of writing during his life, leaving behind thousands of songs and a few memoirs, too. His description of the process of songwriting may give some insight into what "This Land Is Your Land" meant to him—and why he was able to remain such an important icon for future generations:
"There's a feeling in music and it carries you back down the road you have traveled and makes you travel it again. Sometimes when I hear music I think back over my days - and a feeling that is fifty-fifty joy and pain swells like clouds taking all kinds of shapes in my mind. Music is in all the sounds of nature and there never was a sound that was not music - the splash of an alligator, the rain dripping on dry leaves, the whistle of a train, a long and lonesome train whistling down, a truck horn blowing at a street corner speaker - kids squawling along the streets - the silent wail of wind and sky caressing the breasts of the desert. Life is this sound, and since creation has been a song. And there is no real trick of creating words to set to music, once you realize that the word is the music and the people are the song."

Much has been said about the coverage of the Natalee Holloway story on the cable news networks. (For those of you how are blessed not to be news junkies, she is the 17-year-old girl who has been missing in Aruba.)
There has been so much of it, and it has seemed so disproportionate, so ginned up for TV, that last week Bob Costas briefly became a kind of media hero for refusing to substitute host for Larry King on CNN when he found out he'd have to talk about Natalee Holloway.
Last night, in a conflation of weirdness, Rita Cosby on MSNBC was dealing with hurricane news from her perch in Aruba, where she had, evidently, been sent in anticipation of yet more Natalee Holloway coverage. The hurricane intervened.
Now, I am a news junkie, but I hate this stuff, the made-for-TV news. Yes, it's awfully real to the individuals involved, but it's small beer in the grand scheme.
And here is the problem. For two days, I've been watching the cable news networks — and I'm sooooo not alone — trying to figure out what is going on in Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama.
But because of Natalee Holloway, I have no idea. See, it's not that there's not enough coverage of the hurricane, or that it's feckless or inconsistent.
It's that when Kyra Phillips, for example, tells me there "may" be hundreds of people dead, how do I know what she's saying? There may indeed be hundreds of people dead from the hurricane. I don't know. But what if she's just saying that because it will hold my attention, make me watch for a couple more hours?
How can I trust people who treat a resort-island mystery like a weeks-long episode of CSI to treat this disaster calmly, dispassionately and respectfully?

While the Nokia Lumia 710 has a perfectly decent 5-megapixel camera, you might not have given too much thought to getting the best quality pictures out of it. Now with Creative Studio Nokia has created a fun and powerful tool for doing just that. Read our Creative Studio review to find out what we think of it.
Nokia Lumia 710 app: Nokia Drive review
The best thing about the Windows Phone OS that runs on both the Nokia Lumia 710 and Nokia Lumia 800 is that it makes everything so easy. Whether you're glancing at a Live Tile for the weather outlook, initiating a web search or taking a picture, nothing takes more than a few clicks and a few seconds.
Speaking of pictures, it's very easy to adopt a 'fire and forget' approach to photography with the Nokia Lumia 710. That's cool – it's set up for that. But if you want to take your photos to the next level, and have a bit of fun in the process, you should really download Creative Studio post-haste. It's really rather good.
Creative Studio lets you apply all manner of tweaks to your photos. Whether that's applying funky filters or improving the appearance of a shot, there's something here for photographers of all persuasions.
First, the filters. Select a photo from the gallery and you can layer any one of 10 custom effects on top. These range from the arty, such as the black and white 'silkscreen' effect, to the genuinely useful, like the spot-covering 'flawless skin' setting. Our favourite is the 'sketch' one, as it makes your photos look like you've drawn them by hand. Nice.
Then there are the adjustments. Here you can crop and rotate your pictures, and also play with things like colour contrast and sharpness. If the image is a little dingy, you can increase the exposure or boost the colour. These settings step away from the playful into the genuinely useful.
It's not just about post-processing either. You can also layer six of the effects onto a live image. This is called 'Live styles', and it allows you to preview what the effect will look like, enabling you to compose your shots more carefully.
Panorama is another powerful tool found here, allowing you to compose a single wide-view picture from four stitched-together shots. You don't have to worry about the joins – Creative Studio handles the precise timing of the shots for you, although the steadier you hold the phone the better!
There are plenty of apps that provide these kinds of editing and enhancement services on Windows Phone, but few if any bring so many together under a single free app. And of course, given that this is a Nokia app, none are as pleasant to look at or as in-tune with the host platform. If you want to add a little more to your Nokia Lumia 710 photography than simple fire-and-forget shots, look no further.

Denver (AP) Immigration supporters are calling for fair and
open hearings after Republican members barred public comment from an informal hearing later this week at the state capitol on ways to deal with problems involving illegal immigrants.
Republican Study Committee of Colorado Spokesman Kent Lambert says there won't be time during a daylong hearing that'll feature former Democratic Governor Lamm and other speakers who are calling for a reform of immigration policies.
He characterizes Wednesday's meeting as a caucus, not a formal hearing. He says there'll be plenty of time to hear from the other side when the legislature convenes in January, but immigration attorney Donna Lipinski says the meeting should be open to anyone who wants to speak on the issue.
The Republican study group was formed earlier this year to
promote such principles as lower taxes, personal responsibility and limited government. It's modeled after the powerful Republican Study Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Parise lighting the lamp down homestretch
Tuesday, 03.3.2009 / 3:48 PM ET / Features
|Watch Zach Parise highlights
Not only ruined it, but shattered it.
Through 63 games this season, Parise has scored 38 goals, second only to Washington's dynamic Alex Ovechkin. Parise is fourth in points with 77, trailing Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin, Ovechkin and the Penguins' Sidney Crosby. That's the NHL's high-rent district and a roster of the League's top three players. And Parise is making every effort to make it into this exclusive club.
Parise is poised to become the first Devils player to score 50 goals in a season. Judging from the "MVP, MVP" chants Parise has heard at Prudential Center after recent Devils games, the fans have spoken. In the days when Martin Brodeur's dramatic return to the ice has been a lead story, Parise also has been impossible to ignore.
He scored one goal and had two assists against Colorado in Brodeur's return, scored two goals and one assist in a 7-2 rout of the Panthers and had an assist in Sunday's 4-0 win against the Flyers, all wins for Brodeur.
"Zach is strong, he's got great hands, he's got great knowledge of the game, he can shoot the puck, knows how to pass the puck, knows how to get into areas to score and knows how to make guys better around him," New Jersey coach Brent Sutter said. "He's what you'd say is a complete player, in just about every aspect of the game and, yet, he's only going to get better."
"Every year, I just want to do better than I did the year before and things just happen to be going really well right now," Parise said. "You don't want to look too far ahead or get too excited about anything, so I just want to keep doing what I've been doing. If it happens that I score 50 goals, it'll be awesome."
"I don't like talking about myself," Parise told reporters. "But it makes you feel like you're doing the right thing and it's great to hear your fans cheering for you like that."
OK, Parise doesn't like to talk about himself, so let's allow other the opportunity.
"I think he definitely has the capability of putting in 50," Langenbrunner said. "The first thing you notice about Zach is his work ethic. He plays at a high level and goes at it non-stop. It's fun to watch and I think the rest of our team looks at and sees him playing that hard and there's no reason for us not to be following. He sets a great example."
"I think it looks good for him," said Brian Gionta, who scored 48 goals for the Devils in 2005-06. "He's played great and has been our best player out there. He makes a lot happen offensively and, hopefully, he can just keep it up for us."
Parise, Langenbrunner and Travis Zajac have formed a dynamic top line in New Jersey, while Gionta and the resurgent Patrik Elias (12th in League scoring with 24 goals and 43 assists) have excelled on the second line, giving the Devils plenty of offense.
"Our line has been playing really well and we're getting a lot of good scoring chances every game," Parise said. "We're not flashy; we're just pretty smart and good defensively. It just seems like we have that chemistry working or something. The three of us have taken advantage of our time together."

By DANIEL OFFNER
Republican County Executive Robert Astorino has engaged in unfair campaign practices, according to the findings of the non-partisan Westchester County Fair Campaign Practices Committee.
The committee, which has no punitive authority, found merit in all five of the complaints made by the Democratic challenger in the race for the county's top elected office, New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson, in response to campaign advertisements about Bramson's record on taxes.
"Mr. Bramson complained that in August 2013, Rob Astorino's campaign for county executive began airing a television and a radio ad and sent out a mailer with false, misleading and out-of-context statements about Mayor Bramson's record as a member of the New Rochelle City Council and as Mayor of New Rochelle," the committee stated.
After the committee's ruling, Barry Caro, a spokesman for the Bramson campaign, called for the Astorino campaign to pull the advertisements—dubbed "pants on fire"—off the air.
"Republican Rob Astorino just got caught with his pants on fire," Caro said. "Lying once in a thirty-second advertisement is bad enough, but lying five times makes clear that this was a deliberate attempt to mislead voters about taxes."
The committee found Astorino's campaign advertisements were unfair for asserting Bramson gave himself a free car, healthcare for life and raised sales, sewer and library taxes while governing the City of New Rochelle.
Out of the five, two complaints were found to be unfair since the city policy providing the mayor health insurance benefits and a city vehicle were set prior to Bramson taking local office.
First elected to office in New Rochelle in 1996—two years before it would require employees to contribute 18 percent of their healthcare premium—Bramson is not required to contribute to his health insurance, but voluntarily contributes 18 percent according to New Rochelle communications manager Kathy Gilwit.
The committee, in its report, adds that during his eight-year tenure as mayor, Bramson has never taken any action to obtain a city vehicle, despite the city policy permitting the mayor have access to one.
As to the other three complaints, committee members found that the "pants on fire" advertisements—which claim Bramson raised New Rochelle's sales, sewer and library taxes—were unfair since the city does not have the authority to raise sewer and library taxes, and since the sales tax rate is the same as when Bramson took office, except for a state-mandated increase.
Despite the committee's decision and Caro's response, the Astorino campaign said it does not plan to take the ad off the air.
"Westchester voters deserve to know that Mr. Bramson raised his part-time salary 40 percent—to $88,971—accepted healthcare for life as a part-time New Rochelle employee and raised property taxes 109 percent to pay for those perks," said Jessica Proud, a spokesperson for Friends of County Executive Rob Astorino. "The library tax, sewer tax, and garbage fee also went up dramatically under his watch, but, evidently, he knows nothing about them. The TV ad is accurate and it will remain running. We welcome further discussion about Mr. Bramson's record in office."

With an estimated 34 different species of Amphibians in Kruger, Jock Safari Lodge ranks as one of the best places for Frogging Safaris. Froggers are issued head lights, nets and gum boots and set out after dark. Frogs are caught and identified, and then released back into their habitat. Guests get to marvel at the kaleidoscope of colors and the choir of sounds emitted from these tiny creatures, some no bigger than your thumb.
Every different species of frog has his or her own look color, pattern and size. Mark Twains celebrated frog of Calaveras County has nothing on the amazing frogs of Kruger. Some recent catches include Banded Rubber Frogs, Bubbling Kassinas, Sand Frogs and Painted Reed Frogs.
Frogging Safari-goers will discover the wee wet ones get a bad rap for such characteristics as sliminess and bulging eyes. Truth is they have very good eyesight because they bulge out the sides of their heads in order to see in nearly all directions. And their skin must remain moist to help them breathe.
Best time to go wet and wild? The rainy months of November through March are the top months for frogging.

IntroductionIt seems a long time ago that LG was helping dominate the mobile market, with phone offerings such as the LG Chocolate. In reality, 7 years is more than a long time in tech, with LG's more recent mobile offerings often failing to hit the same mark they did before.That said, LG's partnership with Google created not only the latest (and possibly last) Nexus 4 device, but also one of the hottest pieces of mobile tech that easily rivalled the Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5.Much like Samsung, LG is banking on its Optimus range, now equipped with the Optimus G Pro and Optimus 4XHD, to

Anybody know about getting hired to work in Bernstein Private client (www.bernstein.com) As far as pay, opportunities to sell and products, ect.
futureadvisor wrote:Anybody know about getting hired to work in Bernstein Private client (www.bernstein.com) As far as pay, opportunities to sell and products, ect.
THey only start you at $250,000/year, and they make you work 40 hours per week. I'd stay away.
Yea that would be just awful. Do you think they want people who already have books of business or those just starting up?
futureadvisor wrote:Yea that would be just awful. Do you think they want people who already have books of business or those just starting up?
They prefer that you bring nothing of value to the table.
You are paid based on new business only, recieving very little trail on
existing client portfolios. You don't really manage the
relationships, buit rather contstantly hunt for new clients. This
is a very structured program with intense training and ritualistic
process. Once you are there for a while, they expect you to bring
in something along the line of 50 to 100 million PER YEAR in new
business...no kidding. The funny thing is they actually get it
done. They have 1 guy who has brought in over 100 million each of
the following 10 years (San Fran area).
Remember though...all of this money you bring in is not a "book" you are building. Its all about new clients.
Wow, thanks. And how much do guys bringing in that much business make? As much as at a wirehouse? And what about getting a job there, how diffiuclt, how do you go about it, do they want experience?
Put yourself in the mind of a decision maker at a pension plan with hundreds of millions of dollars.
Do you suppose you'd be impressed with a kid who came in to try to get a piece of that pie to manage--or do you suppose that a fifty year old woman wearing a St. John suit is going to make a better impression?
Bernstein is the real deal.... Like Right said, they have a small advisor force who solely focuses on accounts $2M and up.... I know that they focus on developing relationships with local attorneys and CPA's to gain access to their client base....
They primarily use AB proprietary funds, and are very good at selling their investment management process.... It amazes me that in this day of open architecture and a trend away from prop funds, that this strategy still works....
In terms of client service, they are basically hands off after the sale.... The client is assigned a team in NY who handles the daily investment monitoring, trading, etc.
And Right is correct in that they are epxected to be bringing in $50M per YEAR by their fifth year.... And these guys get it done....
We just had a Bernstein office open up about 8 months ago in our area, and it has several of our heavy hitters very nervous....
These guys are good. Real good... If one of your clients is in play I would mentally prepare yourself for an ACAT-out....
Any idea on getting hired? How that proccess works and who they recuit?
Ask your friendly neighborhood AB wholesaler for a book they have published about how the Private Client group goes after CPA alliances. Very good stuff. All they sell are the AB Wealth Strategies models (very good asset allocation portfolios).
I understand most of the reps their were experienced in other areas of
business and sales, but were new to this business. They need to
be good at networking and sales, and militant in following thier
process: They are required to have something along the lines of
15 prospect/professional alliance meetings per week...no excuses ( met
for a former AB Rep for a couple hours a while back).
They don't really go after the 100 million dollar pension plan, but
rather the 2-5 million dollar households. The interesting
approach is that they go after these folks via their advisors, not them
They pay structure is completely different from a wirehouse, because it
is a very different job. They are paid on new relationship sales.
Do you think they can make as much as someone producing that much a wirehouse?
Producing what? You are missing the point. In a Wire you
get paid on the relationship for as long as it is with you. For
exam[le if the relationship generates 1% in revenue you will recieve a
portion of that 1% for as long as it is there. The AB is nothing
like that:
The AB may get paid several thouand dollars for bringing it in, then
very very little from that point on, no where near the portion of the
1% the Wire rep would get.
The AB is a salesperson all the time. A good wire rep is a salesperson as well as an avisor.
I would look into the wire over the AB if you are looking for a steady flow of income. The AB will make you a lot of money up front but it is a much tougher atmosphere. There can be a lot of rough times with this too.JohnMA Private Client Group

Articles and Bylaws Committee
September 28, 2007
2:30 p.m. - 111 Wimberly Hall
Present: P. Beck, R. Knox, K. Sherony, S. Shillinger. Excused: S. Anglehart
1. K. Sherony was elected chair. (unanimous)
2. Recorder responsibilities will be rotated among committee members. (unanimous)
3. The committee's two special charges that are due to the Faculty Senate by Oct. 25 were discussed.
a. R. Knox will develop by-law language for the Research and Grants Committee "to inform grant applicants of their award. Applicants who do not receive money shall be given reasons for their denial."
b. P. Beck will develop by-law language for the General Education Committee to elect its chair.
The committee will consider these proposals at its next meeting.
4. R. Knox informed the Committee that there will be a new charge coming to the
Committee following yesterday's Faculty Senate Committee meeting. It will involve
developing by-law language for the Committee on Faculty Committees on the
number and representation of faculty on committees, as follows.
a. On Senate committees with 8 or fewer faculty members, no more one member
from any given department may serve.
b. On Senate committees with 9 or fewer faculty members, no more two
members from any given department may serve.
c. The one exception to the above conditions pertains to the Budget Review
committee. Since the Vice-Chair of Faculty Senate becomes a member of the
Joint Planning and Budget Committee after the rest of the membership is
determined, the department affiliation of the Vice-Chair of the Senate will not
affect the eligibility of other members already selected for the committee. If
alternates are selected at a later date, the department affiliation of the Vice-Chair
of the Senate will be considered.
5. The next committee meeting was scheduled for 2:30 p.m. in Room 111 Wimberly Hall, on Friday, October 5.
6. The meeting adjourned at 2:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted

them as freeware with the PowerPoint viewer, and they're extracted for
your use here:
technical writing | consulting | development
Do You Yahoo!?
Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around
That's great! Thanks a bunch!
- Fredrik
While I haven't read the license for the PPT Viewer app, it probably only
gives you the right to use those fonts with that particular application, or
at least on that computer. I base this on the fact that the Microsoft
Typography blog
a few months back that these fonts were now available for
individual licensing via Ascender for $299. Here's the press
According to Code Style's font
these fonts are only installed on about 30% of computers, so they're not
ready quite for prime time. I presume they'll ship with Office:mac 2008, and
of course as the installs of that and Office 2007 go up, using them will
become viable.
FWIW, sIFR <http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr>is a pretty cool utility to
get custom fonts onto your pages without relying on a user having a
particular font installed. It requires Flash, but it degrades very
gracefully. And it's accessible.
Did any of the existing standard fonts go away?

How Much Cheese Should You Eat?
It's such an American, and nutrition-based, solution to a problem. Change the food, not the habits.
Here's the situation:
- Americans are under pressure to reduce consumption of sodium and saturated fats.
- But, Americans like to eat cheese.
- And, cheese is loaded with sodium and saturated fat. In fact, cheese is the single largest source of saturated fat in the American diet. (Read more about sat fat from the Harvard School of Public Health.)
So, instead of changing our habits, we're trying to change the cheese.
According to The New York Times, cheese manufacturers are busy looking for ways to make palatable low salt, low fat cheese.
I guess palatable is the problem.
"When you take a lot of the fat out, essentially cheese will turn into an eraser."— Gregory D. Miller, president of the Dairy Research Institute.
"If you really want to make bad cheese, make a low-fat, low-sodium one." — Lloyd Metzger, professor of dairy science at South Dakota State University.
Read The New York Times article.
How are cheese manufacturers "fixing" their food?
One technique relies upon centrifuges to spin off the fat, turning cheddar cheese into cheddar cheese product.
Yes, this is what America needs: MORE PROCESSED FOOD.
I can understand cheese manufacturers wanting to preserve their product's place in the American diet.
The American cheese industry produces more than 10 billion pounds of cheese each year.
That's a lot of cheese.
And I understand people wanting a "healthier" cheese. We LOVE cheese.
So it's understandable that we want to have our cheese and eat it too. (Sorry, I know that joke is cheesy. That joke is too!)
Replacing cheese with an inferior tasting, more highly processed product, just so we can eat as much cheese as we want, is simply the wrong solution.
The idea that we should be able to eat as much as we want of any food is part of our national problem.
And it's fostered by the nutrition mentality: If it's nutritious we feel free to go wild. Where are the limits? (Limits seem only to apply to "bad" food. Turn "bad" food into "good" food though...)
This isn't just a portion size problem. It's an entitlement problem.
Indeed, we are so committed to the idea that we should be able to eat as much as we want that we are willing to remake food into something it's not. Cheese is only the latest example.
Our national dialogue focuses so much on what we eat that people have almost forgotten that we have to think about when, why and how much we eat as well.
That's the beauty of the habits approach. It provide a clear and concise way for people to pack everything they want into their diet, and it does so in a way that works. (Just ask yourself: Is this a habit you want your kids to foster?)
There's nothing wrong with eating cheese, but I highly recommend that you and your kids eat the real deal—Brie, Camembert, actual Cheddar—in the right amounts and in the right frequency. (Don't give your kids cheese every day. Read What's the Problem with Cheese?)
Maybe some people dream of a day when we'll live in a world where all the "bad" foods will be altered to be nutritionally superior, and then we will be able to eat whatever we want, whenever we want, in whatever quantities we want.
I dream of a day, though, when we start thinking more about habits.
~Changing the conversation from nutrition to habits.~
