Are there any options other than ALEKS that satisfy these prerequisites?
Yes, some college level courses at other institutions may meet these prerequisites and some departments may still require ALEKS regardless of AP/IB or transfer credit. If you have questions about this, consult your departmental academic advisor about your specific situation.
Who should I contact if I have a disability that prevents/impairs my taking the ALEKS placement assessment?
If you need disability accommodations, please contact Elizabeth Garfield (303-492-9031) or firstname.lastname@example.com) and we will assist you in making appropriate arrangements.
Is there a fee for using ALEKS?
The University of Colorado Boulder pays for the use of ALEKS.
What if I did not earn the minimum score required for the course that I wanted?
THE SCORE ON YOUR INITIAL ALEKS ASSESSMENT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Do not take the ALEKS placement test until you are ready to do well. Although you will have an opportunity to retake the assessment, the score you achieve on a second or third attempt will NOT be considered for placement.
I did not place into the class I wanted. Can I take it anyway?
No, you must achieve the minimum ALEKS score required for each class. Our analysis of past data shows that students who do not earn the minimum ALEKS score are much more likely to earn a D or F in these classes in comparison to those that do earn the minimum score. It is in your best interest to choose a class for which you are prepared to succeed. ALEKS is designed to be helpful to you and your education experience here at CU Boulder!
Can I retake the ALEKS placement assessment?
Although you can retake the ALEKS Assessment, ONLY THE SCORE ON YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR PLACEMENT. If you do not score the minimum required for enrollment in the course on your first attempt, you will not be able to enroll in the course.
Can I retake the ALEKS Placement Assessment immediately?
You must wait 48 hours and you must work on the ALEKS Prep and Learning Module for at least 5 hours between placement assessments. There is generally no benefit to re-taking the assessment immediately after completing a prior attempt. Unlike the SAT or ACT, you cannot improve your results by simply re-taking the assessment without spending time in the Prep and Learning Module to refresh material that you may have forgotten or to learn new material.
Are placement assessments timed?
Once you begin an ALEKS assessment you have one week to complete it. You do not need to complete the entire assessment in one sitting. You have the option to pause and return to the assessment as you wish during that week. After you've completed the first assessment you have six months of access to the Prep and Learning training modules to help you prepare for your class. You may also retake the assessment twice during this time period, but remember: ONLY THE SCORE ACHIEVED ON YOUR FIRST ASSESSMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR PLACEMENT.
How long will a placement assessment take to complete?
Placement assessments require approximately 90 minutes to complete, but the amount of time will vary by student. We suggest you budget 2 hours to complete the process. There will be a maximum of 30 questions.
May I use a calculator while using ALEKS?
ALEKS will provide an on-screen calculator for particular problems if one is necessary. Otherwise, you may not use a calculator.
May I ask for help when completing a placement assessment?
In order to get an accurate assessment of your math skills, you must NOT use books, search engines or other websites, a calculator, or consult with anyone else when completing ALEKS. Using help to artificially improve your score is likely to result in your enrolling in a class you will not pass. The ALEKS assessment aims only to be helpful for you. It only works if you follow these guidelines.
Your placement result is your percentage mastery on the initial assessment only. Course placement is based on the course-by-course ALEKS Classes and Minimum Scores chart.
How long is my assessment result valid?
Your ALEKS assessment will remain valid for one year.
Can I practice using ALEKS before I begin placement?
ALEKS will have you complete a brief tutorial before your placement assessment begins so you are familiar with how the system works.
How long do I have access to my Prep and Learning Module?
You have access to the Prep and Learning module for six months after you complete your first assessment.
Is there an additional fee for my Prep and Learning Module?
No, access to a Prep and Learning Module is included along with up to 3 placement assessments. This is paid for by the University of Colorado Boulder.
What are ALEKS Progress Assessments?
While working in a Prep and Learning Module, you will periodically complete progress assessments to measure and solidify your gains in knowledge. These are different than the full version of the ALEKS assessment.
Does progress in an ALEKS Prep and Learning Module count toward placement?
No, only your initial assessment score will count for placement.
Can I change to a different Prep and Learning Module later?
No, you may only use one Prep and Learning Module at a time. If you are unsure which module to select, use the module recommended by ALEKS.
What if I placed into the class I wanted?
Congratulations! You may continue to use your Prep and Learning Module to improve your preparedness for the course. The placement result above is the minimum preparation required for your course! Take advantage of the targeted review and learning features in ALEKS to get a better grade in your class.
Where can I get help with ALEKS?
Please email Elizabeth Garfield (email@example.com) if you need help from CU that this FAQ page does not address.
What if I took the ALEKS assessment before February 15th, 2014?
Please consult with your departmental academic advisor to discuss your options.
Where can faculty or staff members find more information about the ALEKS assessment?
An overview of how to view ALEKS scores in ISIS is available here.

Once I was informed that they were not in fact my registrant (by my webmaster) I contacted them and asked for a refund and was told I would receive one in 4-6 weeks. Now it is over 3 months later and they will not answer my emails. I also have since found the following information:
According to Whois the domain was registered to James Madison in New Britain, CT yet there is no street address listed anywhere and the company is not recognized by the Connecticut Corporation database. A reverse lookup goes to a landline at the Barnes 7 Noble College bookstore and other offices at Central Connecticut State University. A reverse address lookup yielded an address at The UPS Store, 1623 Military Road, Niagara Falls, NY 14304, an email address from them was from an IP address in Palo Alto, CA. [continued below]....
Clearly this is intentional mass mail deception and the person(s) are hiding behind various pseudonyms and addresses.
I am an older person not very familiar with such things and so I have to wonder if I was targeted. were it not for the help from my webmaster I would never have known I was ripped off.

I am trying to use a link in a page template to display the images from a post with a lightbox. I have added the following code to my functions.php:
function portfolio_thumbnail_url($pid){
$image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($pid);
$image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id,'screen-shot');
return '$image_url[0]';
In my page template the link looks like this:
<a title="<?=$title?>: <?=$desc?>" rel="lightbox[work]" href="<?php print portfolio_thumbnail_url($post->ID) ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('project-thumb'); ?>
The results right now seem to be only showing one of my two post images and it shows it twice. I've been racking my brain on this for a while and any help would be appreciated. It could be the lightbox plugin I'm using (lightbox plus) but I am thinking it is an error in the function I have.

Along with The Western Wall in Jerusalem and the ice sculptures at swanky Passover hotels' lunch buffets, the annual AIPAC conference in Washington surely must rank as one of the Seven Wonders of The Jewish World.
To be part of a four-hour dinner program Monday night at the downtown Washington Convention Center for 10,000 delegates and honored guests - including 70 U.S. Senators and 270 members of the House - is an awesome experience, and I use that adjective purposefully. AIPAC officials noted that the room we were in was longer than the Washington Monument is tall. I only half-kiddingly observed to someone at my table, several football fields away from the speakers' podium, that we were probably seated in suburban Maryland.
The entire wall behind the podium was filled with video images of the speakers, and photos of Israel. The overall effect was of a highly sophisticated and polished presentation, not to mention the number and level of dignitaries in attendance.
I was fortunate to be at a dinner table, having been told by an AIPAC official that 575 of my journalistic colleagues were relegated to a closed off area of long tables and chairs, prohibited from mixing with the delegates, and, most importantly, on their own for dinner.
So thanks to whoever assigned me to Table 1090, along with a few other lucky scribes.
And by the way, the chicken entrée was not bad at all.
One needed the meal to fortify one's self for the marathon of speeches to come, and especially for the famous Roll Call, when four AIPAC officials took turns rapidly belting out the names of every one of those hundreds of elected officials present, in alphabetical order, to the accompaniment of martial music. It took about a half hour.
I knew I was in for a long evening when the invocation - a rhetorical duet featuring a Conservative rabbi from New Jersey and black Baptist minister from Detroit, arms locked in unity - took at least ten minutes.
As for the speeches, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) had numerous applause lines in pledging undying support to Israel as America's most loyal ally. Though neither man displayed a lick of charisma, the crowd ate it up.
One highlight of the evening leading up to the grand finale, Prime Minister Netanyahu's address, was a powerful video featuring two soldiers wounded in combat - an American who lost an arm in Iraq and an Israeli wounded in Gaza. Both were eloquent and humble in saying they were honored to have been wounded serving their country, and expressing solidarity with each other's country.
As the screen went dark, the two men were introduced, and the crowd jumped to its feet in applause on seeing them in person. It was an emotional moment, which lost a bit of its impact when the former soldiers delivered additional remarks of five to ten minutes each.
My mantra, and futile complaint about Jewish public events, is "less is more." But it never works that way. And truth to tell, the AIPAC conference is not geared to pleasing the media, nor should it be. It's aimed at its delegates and does a terrific job of educating them about the issues through a variety of speakers at breakout sessions and of firing them up to be passionate, effective lobbyists - in Washington and back home.
As for the prime minister's remarks, I wrote about them in my column this week.
I would just add that the crowd responded very effectively when five people heckled him - one at a time and a few minutes apart. Each time someone shouted out against Israeli policy, the delegates rose to their feet in applause of the prime minister, drowning out the protester. (Note to planners of this fall's General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America.)
What leaves me worried, though, was the mood of anger and fear among AIPAC delegates stemming from President Obama's State Department speech - particularly the line about the pre-1967 war boundaries being a starting point for negotiations - and revved up by Prime Minister Netanyahu's repeated insistence that those borders are "indefensible."
It seemed like Netanyahu purposefully responded in a confrontational way, initially and again Monday night. So it was not surprising to see some pro-Israel groups labeling Obama "the new Arafat" and putting out ads asserting that the President had called for Israel to "retreat" to the pre-`67 lines.
It's an emotional and dangerous over-reaction that could undermine the very theme of the AIPAC conference: "Best Together" in referring to the U.S. and Israel.

when i see this newspaper's editor habitually badmouth bibi and continually make excuses for obama's very overt antpathy towards israel i feel that something is very wrong. i'm sure this post will be made to diaappear since what i'm writing does not fit the apparent agenda of a newspaper that i used to enjoy reading. the jewish week seems of late to be tilting towards the same agenda as j street which is not "propeace/pro-israel" but rather something much more negative.
To Harold,
You and I are now engaged in dialogue. We are anonymous strangers and I doubt we are likely to gain a whole lot from our dialogue but I am glad we are talking about the protesters and even some of the issues that matter.
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to prove by comparing AIPAC to JStreet. If you're telling me they have more power (wealth, influence, connections, political capital) I would agree you wholeheartedly. But it's not really a fair comparison seeing JStreet has only been around for 3 years compared to AIPAC's 48. And I'm sure we can both appreciate the significance of well established Jewish organizations. Also, would it surprise you to know that most young American Jews do not identify as Zionists?
(See: http://www.acbp.net/About/PDF/Beyond%20Distancing.pdf)
On your second point, would you say Israel has ever seriously consulted liberal policy makers on the borders issue? or even anyone other than right-wing Likudniks? And during Netanyahu's term? I don't think so. I do no claim to know what exactly the protesters' goal was that night. But they did spark some dialogue including this one and I'm sure at least a handfull more elsewhere.
This little bit of questioning the paradigm is what I think Israel needs. Specifically, we who support Israel should keep an open mind if we want to continue parading the only democracy in the Mid East. Is this walking my talk? Yes, in part, and just a small start.
The AIPAC confab opened no old wounds. Mr. Obama is pro Muslim and
Mr. Netanyahu is pro Israel - no news here. However, what I found amusing
was Mr. Obama trying to "patch it up" after his failed comments on the '67
border with Israel. Also the comical bitching of Mr. Obama's media bunch
outraged that Mr. Netanyahu dared to "lecture" a sitting U.S. President
on Middle East policy in the Oval Office - and even worse - before Congress!
Ah yes: What a tangled web we weave - when we first try to deceive. . .
Gary - it was three AIPAC officials (not four) calling roll. And the catch phrase was "better together" (not "best"). And, indeed, the chicken wasn't bad!
You are a dinosaur, Rosenblatt. Wake up and say something useful.
Those protesters represent the liberal Jewish American youth. AIPAC can keep their collective head in the sand all they want but it will do no good. Please, Gary, acknowledge the plurality of American Jewry.
Matt, you've got to be kidding. First, there are MANY young people whose views are more in line with AIPAC than with JStreet. Please don't stick your head in the sand and try to pretend that the younger generation are all liberal and dovish on Israel - they're simply not. AIPAC had 10,000 delegates. JStreet has a fraction of that.
Second, those protesters were not even representative of liberal Jewish American youth. To be liberal suggests being open-minded, engaging in dialogue, hearing a diversity of views. The protesters aren't interested in any of that. Their goal was to shut down dialogue. By each one protesting every few minutes, their goal was to interrupt Netanyahu's speech as much as possible - not to listen to it, respectfully disagree, engage with it, dialogue with people who share his views - no, simply to shut down views they don't like as much as they can. It's time for those who espouse "pluralism" to actually walk the talk.

PACIFIC OCEAN (July 18, 2016) Undersecretary of the Navy Dr. Janine Davidson passes through the ceremonial rainbow sideboys as she arrives aboard the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) for a scheduled visit. America is underway conducting maritime exercises with partner nations for Rim of the Pacific 2016. Twenty-six nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 30 to Aug. 4, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971. U.S. Navy photo by MCSN Jacob Holloway.
Under Secretary of the Navy visits newest amphib during RIMPAC
by MC1 Demetrius Kennon, USS America (LHA 6) Public Affairs
PACIFIC OCEAN (NNS) -- Under Secretary of the Navy Dr. Janine Davidson visited amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) while the ship was underway participating in the 2016 Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, July 18.
During her time aboard, Davidson toured the combat information center, amphibious air traffic control center, joint information center, a main engine room, and ate on the ship's mess decks with Sailors and Marines.
America's history and future were among the topics of discussion during the under secretary's lunch with the crew.
"It made me feel like I had some input in what the future of the Navy is going to be like," said Quartermaster 3rd Class Dartagnan Carcana, assigned to America. "It was a nice experience knowing that what I said is being heard."
"A lot of people were really nervous at first just because it was a VIP visit, but afterward the consensus was 'that was pretty cool,'" said Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Tavaris Hobbs, assigned to Fleet Surgical Team 1 with Commander, Amphibious Squadron 3. "It's something that you'll rarely be able to do in your naval career."
Davidson said visiting the ship during the world's largest multinational maritime exercise was high on her list of things to do, and she appreciated talking to the Sailors, Marines and partners aboard to hear about how much they're learning and how much they enjoy their jobs.
"You can't come out here and not be amazed at the choreographed ballet that is [amphibious] operations, especially out on the flight deck," Davidson said.
RIMPAC provides the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps the opportunity to evaluate gear, new equipment, and new operational concepts; and being able to conduct these assessments on a multinational level is critical.
"We can tell and test the degree to which our interoperability and the way in which we cooperate together has improved over time, so it absolutely pays multiple dividends," said Davidson. When nations work together during exercises such as RIMPAC, they will be better prepared to respond in the future, because it won't be the first time working together as a multinational team, she added.
While aboard, Davidson toured the ship with Capt. Michael W. Baze, America's commanding officer. One stop on the tour was a main engine room. Davidson was particularly interested in the ship's hybrid electric drive and fuel conservation efforts as part of the Great Green Fleet initiative.
America's hybrid electric propulsion system uses a gas turbine engine as well as an electric motor and diesel generator. The electric motor propels the ship through the water while the generator produces the ship's electricity. Similar to a hybrid car, once the ship reaches 12 knots, the gas-turbine engine kicks in.
High ranking officials tour ships to get a glimpse of the practical application of their decisions made for the good of Sailors and Marines and the equipment they operate. In many cases, the officials have been in the Sailors' shoes and are working to improve the way ahead.
"I wholeheartedly believe that visits like these are necessary for the crew," said Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Ricky Williams, assigned to America. "As much as we get wrapped into our routines, to be able to get that outside look at everything ... and know that they do care enough to take that time to spend with us Sailors, that means a lot to me personally."
"I know it takes a little bit away from your day-to-day operations, but it's incredibly important and really, really valuable for people like me and also for our congressional partners and our international partners to be able to take a day like this and walk through and actually see what's happening," said Davidson. "We have to make decisions every day, and having a sense of what you're doing out here, what challenges you have, is incredibly valuable."
Twenty-six nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 30 to Aug. 4, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971.
Family Medicine O'side Clinic to close
The Family Medicine Oceanside Clinic, located off-base in Oceanside, Calif. will be closing Aug. 31, 2016.
"With the relocation of Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton to just inside the main gate of the base, and increased requirements for anti-terrorism protection, we felt that our beneficiaries would be better served at our new state—of-the-art facility or one of the branch clinics on base," said Cmdr. Todd Lauby, the NHCP director of branch clinics.
All the staff will be relocated to either the hospital or one of the branch clinics on base and letters with detailed information will be sent to all current patients who are seen at the FMOC.
"Because we are concerned about maintaining continuity of care, every effort will be made to ensure our patients remain with their current primary care manager," explained Lauby. "If this is not possible, we will work closely with each patient to ensure their healthcare needs are met by a new PCM."
For questions, please contact Ms. Henrietta Wilson-Escobar or Petty Officer 2nd Class Carlos Medina at (760) 754-0974.
San Diego to be homeport for two new DDG class ships
SAN DIEGO - The Navy announced the future guided-missile destroyers USS John Finn (DDG 113) and USS RAFAEL PERALTA - DDG 115 are scheduled to be homeported at Naval Base San Diego following their respective commissionings.
Rafael Peralta is expected to arrive in San Diego in fall of 2016 and John Finn will follow in early 2017.
Rafael Peralta is being built by Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine and John Finn is being built by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Both ships are Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
The U.S. Navy continually monitors force readiness and ability to provide the most robust, capable maritime force possible. Stationing destroyers in a West Coast port supports the rebalance to the Indo-Asia-Pacific region, placing our most advanced capabilities and greater capacity in that vital theater. By 2020, approximately 60 percent of Navy ships and aircraft will be based in the region.
Guided-missile destroyers are multi-mission surface combatants capable of conducting Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW). The destroyer's armament has greatly expanded the role of the ship in strike warfare utilizing the MK-41 Vertical Launch System (VLS).
National military news
Sailors taking Fall classes should start Tuition Assistance approval process now
by Ed Barker,
Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center
PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- Sailors planning to take college courses this fall using Tuition Assistance (TA) should submit their requests as soon as possible, so they may be reviewed and approved before classes start.
According to Ernest D'Antonio, the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Technology Center's Voluntary Education (VOLED) program director, the number one reason for problems with TA requests is late applications.
"Summer is a historically slow time in terms of receiving and processing TA requests," said D'Antonio. "Sailors who get a head start on their applications have the best chance of having their requests approved. Service members are required to obtain approval for TA funding before the official start of a course."
D'Antionio added TA approval is a multi-step process, and if there is a problem, the request gets held-up until the Virtual Education Center (VEC) staff can troubleshoot and fix it.
"It's crucial for commands to make sure that their Sailors know to start the process early, so that TA applications can be completed by the VEC in advance of the deadline," he said. "We are currently authorizing TA requests based on term start dates."
VEC Supervisor Susan Sutter noted TA applications are funded on a first-come, first-served basis.
"There's no risk in applying early; we can modify or cancel the TA voucher after the fact if necessary with no harm to the Sailor," she said. "But if TA requests are received by the VOLED team on or after the class begins, the TA requests will be denied in accordance with policy guidelines -- putting Sailors in a potentially tough financial situation if the course is not dropped. That's why early TA submission, coupled with a well-defined education/degree plan is strongly recommended."
Sutter detailed the required steps that must be taken for a TA request to be approved; Sailors must:
1) Be counseled by their local Navy College Office or the VEC
2) Complete WebTA training
3) Have an education/degree plan on file (with the course that the Sailor is requesting TA for included in the plan)
4) Receive command approval on their TA request
"Sailors also must have completed at least 12 months on board their first permanent duty station, have no missing grades, not owe the Navy any funds for incomplete or failed courses, and have an end-of-obligated service date after the course ends," Sutter added.
Both D'Antonio and Sutter also stressed Sailors should monitor their information and status through the MyEducation portal on the Navy College website to ensure their accounts are posted and accurate, and their degree plans are current. The MyEducation portal is available 24/7.
If a Sailor or command have any questions or experience any problems, they should contact the VEC for assistance. The VEC is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST Monday-Friday and may be reached by calling 1-(877) 838-1659, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Three new Navy training apps now available
June 2016
From Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs
GREAT LAKES, Ill. (NNS) -- Three mobile apps designed for Navy basic military training became available for public download, June 16.
The three mobile training apps U.S. Military Rank & Reference, U.S. Navy Ratings & Reference, and Ships & Aircraft Training are part of the eSailor Initiative, and are presently being used by recruits on electronic tablets at Recruit Training Command (RTC), the Navy's only boot camp.
These training apps help today's recruits transform from civilian to Sailor. Available through the iTunes and Google Play stores, now fleet Sailors will be able to utilize these to continue their training throughout their career.
"This will provide an excellent opportunity for fleet Sailors to brush up on their Navy knowledge as well as for the public to learn about America's Navy," said Rear Adm. Stephen C. Evans, commander, Naval Service Training Command (NSTC). "We are continuing to build on our mobile training technology and as we build more apps, they will continue to benefit present and future Sailors for years to come."
According to John Drake, director of NSTC's Strategy and Analysis (N5) directorate, the training apps will be beneficial to fleet Sailors looking to download and install apps on their personal devices.
"We thought the apps would be a big benefit to anyone wanting to know more about Navy ships and aircraft, military ranks and the 56 Navy ratings, or jobs," Drake said after seeing the success of mobile technology for new recruits.
Dave Driegert, the PMW 240 Mobility Team assistant program manager, believes these training apps will prove valuable to how Sailors learn the skills and knowledge required in their jobs.
"It's a great education tool and ultimately in a medium that most young Sailors today would prefer to consume information in -- their phone or tablet," he said. "And the great thing about these apps is you don't need a Navy device to use them. You can download to any iOS or Android device."
The apps are a bring your own device (BYOD) tool designed to work on personal devices outside of the NMCI domain. Users can download the apps from the iTunes or Google Play at no cost.
The U.S. Navy eSailor Team produced the apps through Booz Allen Hamilton, in partnership with the U.S. Navy Sea Warrior Program and Tracen Technologies Inc., a company that specializes in integrated mobile and web solutions, who provided logistics and app hosting support.
To find the free Navy apps, search "U.S. Military Rank & Reference" "U.S. Navy Ratings & Reference" and "Ships & Aircraft Training" in app stores or your web browser.
United Through Reading®
Deploying? Service members invited to record stories for family at San Diego USO
United Through Reading® is a program helping ease the stress of separation for military families by having deploying or deployed service members read children's books aloud via DVD for their family to watch at home. This powerful program is available to all military units. It provides service members a chance to make lasting connections from afar. The DVD recording and the book are mailed to the child and family back home.
Service members who are leaving for training can also take part in this program. Being a parent is not required; service members can send the DVD & book(s) to any special child in their life such as younger sister or brother, niece, nephew or godchild.
On the day of the recording, service members are encouraged to dress in the attire they will be wearing while deployed/training, but this is not required. The room is private, so any special message, or those fun reading voices, will only be heard by the recipient of the DVD recording. USO San Diego has books available, or service members can bring their own. Our volunteers will help set up the camera and then leave the room. The DVD can hold a 30 minute recording.
Please e-mail USO San Diego Staff Member Nichole Duarte at email@example.com to make your appointment. This program is offered at both USO San Diego centers.

You might actually be surprised there are just a couple of points recruiters look at and you have to get a 'pass' on all of them unconditionally to stay in the game.
* Best and worst practices for your motivation letter. Motivation letter is where you need to prove you are more interesting (rather then vague 'better') than the others. Small, soft details are again what matters and there a couple of tricks you can use for your advantage (especially as a woman!)
* How to get invited for an interview? There are many simple tricks that really do work!
* How to dress to impress… in the right way. Consultants recruiting you are only people, and, more importantly, they are mostly men. The issue of how to dress for an interview never gets the deserved attention in the 'regular' consulting recruitment guides, because it is simple for male candidates. It is a whole different story for females though and the truth is that your look can really win or kill your interview.
* How to solve the case interview and not fail for the main reason women usually do which is…panic. The e-book provides 25 cases with full answers representing key 5 types of case questions typical for consulting interviews: market sizing, feasibility study, strategy consideration, organization and change, brainteaser cases. Full step-by-step solutions are provided for each case. However, the key for you is to learn how to approach (rather then solve) the cases. That is why, next to simply giving you solutions to specific case examples, this book will teach you something far more important: how to distinguish the above mentioned case types and apply a successful approach to them in general.
* How to use your key strengths as a woman in consulting interview: Women are more logical then men, are better listeners and are prepared to work harder when preparing for the consulting interview. You will learn how to effectively use these strengths, based on real-life success stories of other women who have broken into consulting.
* What mistakes will kill your interview even if you solve the case. You will be stunned to read some real-life examples of what has excluded really good female candidates in the past.
* How does the backstage of the consulting recruitment process honestly look like and how do the recruiters decide whether to take you in or not. You might actually be surprised…
* Finally, how to get and negotiate your contract: what common tricks to expect from the company and how to be prepared to downplay them.

Great School Backpack!
If you need alot of space for books and laptop, then this is the backpack for you! Not only does this backpack provide alot of space but it also provides great cushioning at the back which is great for your back. One downside is that there is not designated pocket for a water bottle but other than that it is a great backpack and would definitely recommend!
Hands down best backpack!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As a college student I have a ton of books, literally. This thing hold everything, the mesh straps are super comfortable and supportive. The laptop sleeve doesn't go all the way to the bottom, so when I drop my bag out of the car I know my laptop doesn't even touch the floor, its pretty ingenious!
Are these the 20-inch backpacks or the 16-inch?
This is the 20"

These are Duracell alkaline batteries, technically identical to the consumer version, but branded and packed differently. They are not available through retail consumer outlets, which helps reduce stock losses due to pilferage, especially for larger organisations. Distribution is only through a limited range of industrial distributors. The batteries are packed and sold in carton quantities. Cartons are cardboard, and batteries are not individually wrapped or sealed. This packaging is more economical than blister packs, so prices are lower than for the blister-packed Duracell consumer range.

probably a server hang

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Furrs Supermarkets here said Fleming, Dallas, could reject up to 26 of 66 retail locations under the terms of a transaction approved in U.S. Bankruptcy Court last week. Fleming disclosed two weeks ago it had submitted the highest bid in Furrs' June 27 auction -- $57 million for real estate, equipment leases, contracts and licenses, plus approximately $50 million for inventory.

You can't just walk into a television station and get hired as a sportscaster; for some reason they need you to get some kind of education and experience first (go figure). You'll want at least a bachelor's degree in broadcasting or journalism, and you should probably try to work at the college's team station if they have one (and if they don't, you're probably not at the right school for your sportscasting dreams).
You'll also need to put in your time interning at smaller stations or news organizations to build up some cred—in the broadcast world, experience is everything.
You'll also have to demonstrate an expert knowledge (obvi) of just about everything having to do with a ball, puck, and/or racket. When starting out, it's important that you specialize—or own, if you feel like marking your territory here—a particular sport. You want to become known as the go-to sportscaster for whatever overpriced game you happen to be obsessed with.

I have been looking for a fix for this for months, can someone please let me know if they see something glaring I am missing.
All my archives work fine, except my monthly archive. It is on the sidebar in a drop down box. I have looked at the archive.php and see nothing out of the ordinary, the tag and cat archives work fine.
blog is located at http://www.scottfillmer.com and also have another blog at http://d.amasc.us/ which is having the same issue. Being that they are both having the same issue I assume it is a theme problem but still can't figure out where. I am using the PhotoBloggo theme.
When you click on one of the links to a monthly archive it just takes you back to the index page?? Any help is much appreciated, thanks. Scott

I think that talk show themes have finally gone too far. I was watching a show where three people came out and they started talking about their failed attempts at suicide. And after it was over, they flashed a 1-800 number across the screen, so you could call in. And I was so touched that I called, and I voted for the first guy.

Suspect in Alachua shooting arrested
Published: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at 8:34 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at 8:34 a.m.
A Gainesville man was in the Alachua County jail after he was accused of firing a gun within 1,000 feet of a school following a shooting in front of Alachua Elementary Tuesday afternoon, police reported.
Kenneth L. Hope, 22, was being held at the jail Wednesday morning on charges of discharging a gun near the school and improper exhibition of a firearm, the Alachua Police Department reported. No bond had been set for his release, according to jail records.
Witnesses told officers that someone in a blue Chevrolet was seen firing at a gold Chrysler near the school at about 3:35 p.m. Both vehicles drove away from the area, but police later identified the Chevrolet and reported Hope had been in the vehicle.
Hope told police he was a student at Santa Fe College and that he acted in self-defense, according to officers.
Police said it was lucky that, with the school and a library in the area, there were no reports of injuries.
Officers still were searching late Tuesday for the other vehicle and possibly others who they believe were in the Chevrolet with Hope.
U.S. 441 was closed for about two hours during the investigation, police reported.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the police department (386)462-1396.

The Samsung Android smartphone spotted last month could arrive sooner than expected, with the first Google OS handset from the company now shipping in June. According to Dr Won-Pyo Hong, executive VP of global product strategy for Samsung's mobile division, the plan is to release their preliminary Android device - outside of the US - in June, as opposed to the original July estimate.
Hong also confirmed that the Samsung Android devices would be significantly customized with the company's own spin on the OS, together with the preferences of the European carriers. Samsung categorize this as the distinction between phones that use Android and "Google Experience" devices, the latter of which are heavily loaded with Google apps.
Later in the year, US customers will have two Samsung Android smartphones to choose from, each "totally different" to the other according to Hong. That's down to US operator preference; the expectation is that one device will go to Sprint and the other to T-Mobile USA.

I am wondering if anybody could help me think through the best way to develop the following site.
I am the web developer for a website called http://www.hiatusclub.com
This is a membership site, where people pay an annual fee for access to the website and the discounts that merchants offer.
We have about 300+ merchants in 9 different cities.
In each city, there are 12 categories (restaurants, pubs, rentals etc.)
People can browse the merchants available in each category, within a city, but in order to view a merchant's actual listing, the user must be registered & logged in.
The site is currently built in Joomla. For various reasons, I would like to "rebuild" the site on a WordPress framework.
I have some ideas about how I could do this, but I am wondering if I could have some input on the best ay - most efficient, easiest to scale, and most logical for the user.
What is required:
- Each merchant's listing page should contain the following:
- logo, email, phone, website, google map, description
- The merchant's listing page should be protected so only subscribed & logged in members have access
- Each category page (rentals in Vancouver) within a given city should contain the merchants we have on board in that city (their logo and name and links to their particular listing page)
- Our current live site (hiatusclub.com) has it so that the cities are listed as the 1st menu item beneath "benefits directory". I think it would be cool & easier to navigate if the user could select a city when they first visit the site, or maybe have a nice looking dropdown menu of available cities in the corner of the page (top-right). And maybe the available menu items could be filtered according to the city selected.
- So, if you have selected "Vancouver" and are on the main page, the homepage would say "hiatusclub.com/vancouver"
- If you have selected the "rentals" category and are in "Vancouver", it would say "hiatusclub.com/vancouver/rentals"
What we have
I have created 3 additional tables in the wordpress database
- listings: this is a table with the merchant info: id, name, email, phone, website, category_id, region_id
- categories: this is a table with categories like: restaurants, pubs, rentals etc.
- regions: this is a table with available cities like vancouver, los angeles etc.
How to do this:
Instead of creating a page or post for every merchant listing, I was thinking I could create one page called "listing" and assign it to a custom template which queries the "listings" table to retreive the merchant's information (name, phone etc.) depending on the variable in the url (?merchant=3)
Then, I could use a subscription plugin like "Membership" to protect the "listings" page.
How would I deal with the menus? Should I try and use WordPress custom menus?
Say the listings page is ?page_id=24 - should I manually assign custom menu items to ?page_id=24&merchant=1
page_id=24&merchant=2 ?
Is there a way to only show menu items when a particular city is selected?
Am i thinking about this stuff the right way? Any input would be appreciated. Thank You!
