American Airlines LGBT Policies, Practices and Community Recognition at a Glance
For nearly two decades, American Airlines has been a pioneer in its fair-minded policies and practices for its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) customers and employees. American Airlines has consistently held the highest possible ranking on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and remains the most gay-friendly of all U.S. airlines through its generous partnerships with the LGBT community, as well as its loyalty and respect for customers, employees and shareholders, and unflagging commitment to diversity.
"We know that all passengers, including gays and lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people, have many choices when it comes to travel. We want your loyal business and we will work to earn it."
American Airlines
"Thank you so much for honoring me with the Extra Mile Award. I love your airline, because when it comes to LGBT equality, you were the first out of the gate. You were the first airline to offer domestic partner benefits, the first to make sure transgender workers are included in your anti-discrimination policy and the first to add LGBT-certified businesses to your supply chain. So let me be the first Labor Secretary to say, "Thank you for taking your industry to new heights."
Honorable Hilda Solis, U.S. Secretary of Labor, on November 18, 2011
at the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce

Researchers Create Versatile 3D Nanostructures Using DNA "Bricks"
Date: Nov 29, 2012
New method greatly expands repertoire of nanobiotechnology applications
in medicine and beyond
Wyss Institute researchers have created more than 100 three-dimensional nanostructures using DNA building blocks that function like Lego® bricks. This video illustrates how DNA is used to build these structures. Watch video...
Boston, MA -- Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have created more than 100 three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures using DNA building blocks that function like Lego® bricks -- a major advance from the two-dimensional (2D) structures the same team built a few months ago.
In effect, the advance means researchers just went from being able to build a flat wall of Legos®, to building a house. The new method, featured as a cover research article in the 30 November issue of Science, is the next step toward using DNA nanotechnologies for more sophisticated applications than ever possible before, such as "smart" medical devices that target drugs selectively to disease sites, programmable imaging probes, templates for precisely arranging inorganic materials in the manufacturing of next generation computer circuits, and more.
Computer-generated 3D models (left) and corresponding 2D projection microscopy images (right) of nanostructures self-assembled from synthetic DNA strands called DNA bricks. A master DNA brick collection defines a 25-nanometer cubic "molecular canvas" with 1000 voxels. By selecting subsets of bricks from this canvas, Ke et al. constructed a panel of 102 distinct shapes exhibiting sophisticated surface features as well as intricate interior cavities and tunnels. These nanostructures may enable diverse applications ranging from medicine to nanobiotechnology and electronics. [Image Credit: Yonggang Ke, Wyss Institute, Harvard University.]
The nanofabrication technique, called "DNA-brick self-assembly," uses short, synthetic strands of DNA that work like interlocking Lego® bricks. It capitalizes on the ability to program DNA to form into predesigned shapes thanks to the underlying "recipe" of DNA base pairs: A (adenosine) only binds to T (thymine) and C (cytosine) only binds to G (guanine).
Earlier this year, the Wyss team reported in Nature how they could create a collection of 2D shapes by stacking one DNA brick (42 bases in length) upon another.
But there's a "twist" in the new method required to build in 3D.
The trick is to start with an even smaller DNA brick (32 bases in length), which changes the orientation of every matched-up pair of bricks to a 90 degree angle -- giving every two Legos® a 3D shape. In this way, the team can use these bricks to build "out" in addition to "up," and eventually form 3D structures, such as a 25-nanometer solid cube containing hundreds of bricks. The cube becomes a "master" DNA "molecular canvas"; in this case, the canvas was comprised of 1000 so-called "voxels," which correspond to eight base-pairs and measure about 2.5 nanometers in size - meaning this is architecture at its tiniest.
The master canvas is where the modularity comes in: by simply selecting subsets of specific DNA bricks from the large cubic structure, the team built 102 3D structures with sophisticated surface features, as well as intricate interior cavities and tunnels. "This is a simple, versatile and robust method," says Peng Yin, Ph.D., Wyss core faculty member and senior author on the study.
The DNA-brick technique capitalizes on the ability of DNA strands to selectively attach to other strands, thanks to the underlying "recipe" of DNA base pairs. This animation shows how the DNA strands self-assemble to build a structure. View animation...
Another method used to build 3D structures, called DNA origami, is tougher to use to build complex shapes, Yin said, because it relies on a long "scaffold" strand of DNA that folds to interact with hundreds of shorter "staple" strands - and each new shape requires a new scaffold routing strategy and hence new staples. In contrast, the DNA brick method does not use any scaffold strand and therefore has a modular architecture; each brick can be added or removed independently.
"We are moving at lightning speed in our ability to devise ever more powerful ways to use biocompatible DNA molecules as structural building blocks for nanotechnology, which could have great value for medicine as well as non-medical applications," says Wyss Institute Founding Director Don Ingber, M.D., Ph.D.
The research team led by Yin, who is also an assistant professor of systems biology at Harvard Medical School (HMS), included Wyss Postdoctoral Fellow Yonggang Ke, Ph.D., and Wyss Graduate Student Luvena Ong. Another contributor was Wyss Core Faculty member William Shih, Ph.D., who also holds appointments at HMS and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The Galilee is a geographical region in the modern State of Israel and a region best known as the site for many biblical events in the Old and New Testaments. The area defined as the Galilee falls between Litani River in Lebanon to the north and the Jezreel Valley in Israel. The area is divided into three: Upper Galilee, Lower Galilee and Western Galilee, and is home to Jewish and Arab communities.
Control over the Galilee changed hands several times throughout ancient history. The region was at various points captured by Egyptians, Assyrians, Canaanites, and Israelites, and is best known as the area from where Jesus conducted the majority of his ministry.
Today the Galilee has several large cities, with Haifa as its commercial center and Israel's main port. Christian sites around the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret) attract pilgrims year round, and the Galilee is also home to many of Israel's nature reserves and hiking trails. The city of Safed in the Upper Galilee is also one of Judaism's four holy cities and where important Jewish texts were written in ancient times.
The Jewish population of the Galilee greatly increased during Ottoman rule in Palestine, when Jews expelled from Spain resettled in the region. Jewish immigration to the Galilee continued with the Zionist movement and in the 1948 War of Independence all of the Galilee was incorporated into the nascent State of Israel.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the area came under the attack by armed militants from the Palestine Liberation Organization based in Lebanon, and in 1982 Israel launched an invasion of Lebanon, known as Operation Peace for Galilee, in an effort to end these attacks. That invasion was the start of an 18-year Israeli presence in southern Lebanon and sporadic attacks on the Galilee by Lebanese-based militias opposed to the Israeli presence.
The Galilee was battered by near constant rocket attacks throughout the month-long Second Lebanon War in 2006, which claimed the lives of several Israelis.
As well as being a popular destination for pilgrims, the area is also popular with Israelis from other parts of the country, due to its scenery, nature preserves and numerous arts festivals, and the area is dotted throughout with zimmers (bed and breakfast hotels).

General McLane eager to meet Montour
Quinn Thompson is ready for another chance against Montour.
The Spartans ended General McLane's perfect season in 2012 and the 6-foot 5-inch senior hasn't forgotten.
"I wouldn't want to play any other team right now," Thompson said. "It's the same exact situation as last year. I love a rematch and there's nothing better than that. It's also the same situation as Girard. We lost to them twice and wanted to play hard and tough in our rematch."
McLane (22-5) will get a chance to redeem last year's loss against Montour (24-4) tonight at 8 at New Castle High School.
The Spartans won the District 7 title a few weeks ago and ended Girard's impressive run 48-38 on Tuesday.
Ironically, that was the same score Montour beat McLane by last winter.
"We have a lot of respect for Montour and they are so well-coached," McLane coach Andy Schulz said. "Adam (Kaufman) does a great job coaching them and we are just glad to be playing basketball at this point. It beats not playing and whoever we play, we play."
Kaufman is a former Edinboro standout as well as his assistant, Daren Tielsch.
A battle within the game will be between college prospects Devin Wilson (Montour) and Jaymon Mason (General McLane). Both are facilitators of their respective offenses and game-changers for their teams.
"Both are tremendous players and Wilson runs the show for Montour," Schulz said. "They have two very good shooters to go with him but he is the maestro out there conducting the team. We rely on Jaymon to score and handle the ball as well and both are fabulous players. I think the fans will enjoy watching both play."
Wilson scored 10 points in last year's win and had 10 points against Girard Tuesday. His biggest performance of the season came in the WPIAL championship. Wilson scored 24 points, had 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a 52-43 win over South Fayette.
Wilson, a 6-foot 4-inch guard, had offers to play college football at Akron, N.C. State, Ohio and Temple among interest from more than a dozen major college football programs. He is also the all-time leading receiver in WPIAL history but has decided to play basketball instead. Wilson has offers from schools like George Mason, St. Bonaventure and Western Michigan among others and has emerged as one of the top two-sport stars in the state. St. Joe's and Villanova have also had coaches at Montour's past few games.
"We have to stop him from driving to the hoop and to guard their two outside shooters," Thompson said. "The most important thing is rebounding on offense and defense. Any time they get an offensive rebound they are looking to kick it back out and hit another 3-pointer."
Montour's Robbie Julian terrorized Girard with seven 3-pointers on his way to 26 points. The 6-1 guard is joined by 5-10 Kevin Scuilli in the backcourt as huge 3-point threats. Scuilli, a 1,000-point scorer, has more than 260 career 3-pointers for the Spartans.
"We have to be on our toes every second on defense," Schulz said. "They have some outstanding shooters and they always look for them on rebounds. We realize we have to play the defensive game of our lives. We have to play our best game all year and that's the way it should be in the playoffs."
Mason, who scored 24 points in last year's loss, is averaging 27.4 points per game in the postseason and is eighth all-time at General McLane with 1,445 career points. He needs only 19 points to move past David Locke (1,449 points), Jeff Madara (1,458) and Bobby Stauffer (1,463) into fifth place. Mason and Thompson are the only players on McLane's current roster to play in last year's game.
"Jaymon and I were the only players to play in it but these guys were there on the bench and saw it," Thompson said about the current Lancers. "Everyone wants a second chance."

You may have a great amount of confidence when leading others, which could make you fearless about making decisions. Even though it is important to have assurance when taking on a leadership role, you might wish to keep in mind that you can exhibit just as much strength and confidence by remaining open to other people's ideas. If you are able to remember that true courage comes from listening fully to what another person might have to say, you might find that your ability to make decisions rests not only on your boldness but also on your willingness to respond in a heartfelt manner to the needs and desires of others today. Doing so may help you achieve even more than you realized you could, and those around you may be more apt to place greater trust in you.
Being able to guide others comes from our capacity to be responsive and open to new thoughts and ideas. Although we might think of true leaders as being unyielding and strong, real strength actually comes from allowing others into our hearts. Unless we are able to remain eager to expose ourselves to some degree, we may not have nearly as much success as we would if we showed the human side of ourselves, since those who look up to us will be able to relate to us on a deeper and more profound level. Showing your true self today will demonstrate that you are a compassionate and receptive leader who is not afraid to let others into your heart.

Case for the defense: AandM tops Nebraska, 9-6, in battle of FGs
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - A maroon-clad, towel-waving record crowd at Kyle Field kept waiting for something to celebrate Saturday.
Everything was in place for Texas A&M to confirm its return to the Big 12's elite teams.
Slowly, play by play, Texas A&M delivered the second-half payoff that 90,079 wanted to see in a 9-6 win over BCS No. 8 Nebraska.
"You couldn't ask for a better way to leave," said senior linebacker Michael Hodges, who recorded 14 tackles in his final home game. "It was priceless, truly priceless."
With the win, A&M (8-3, 5-2 Big 12) has won five consecutive games and posted three November victories for the first time since 1997. The Aggies, ranked No. 19 in the BCS, kept alive their hopes of a three-way tie atop the South Division if they beat Texas on Thanksgiving and Oklahoma downs Oklahoma State.
Cyrus Gray became the first A&M running back since Darren Lewis in 1990 to record five straight 100-yard rushing games.
The junior from DeSoto gashed the Blackshirts defense for 137 yards on 26 carries, with 104 of those yards after halftime.
"He wants to lead his team to victory, and he did that today," coach Mike Sherman said. "I thought he had an extraordinary night."
The rushing total matched Gray's career high, set Nov. 13 against Baylor. Gray added nine catches for 65 yards.
"It seemed like he would get a two-yard gain and he turned it into 15," said quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who won his fourth straight game since replacing Jerrod Johnson as the A&M starter.
Kicker Randy Bullock, who has battled inconsistency throughout his career, connected on three field goals. The game-winner came from 19 yards with 5:29 remaining.
Then senior defensive end/linebacker Von Miller, who came back for his senior year with championship dreams, was credited with two sacks on Nebraska's final, desperate drive.
On the bus ride to the stadium, Sherman sat next to Miller and shared a few moments.
"It's our last ride together," Sherman told him. "I'll miss you."
The victory was assured when Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez, rolling to his left, heaved a long pass out of bounds on fourth down.
As the seconds ticked off the clock, the crowd staged an orderly, if heart-felt rushing of the field.
"The 12th man was three-fourths of the victory," said safety Trent Hunter, who had two interceptions.
The Aggies have two wins this month over top-10 opponents, having beaten Oklahoma on Nov. 6.
"We expected to win this game," Tannehill said. "We know Nebraska is a tough team, but we believe in ourselves."
The defense, Wrecking Crew 2.0 or not, held the Big 12's second-best scoring offense without a touchdown. Tim DeRuyter, the Aggies' first-year defensive coordinator had told his unit that the game would be won by the best defense.
That was A&M on Saturday.
Nebraska (9-2, 5-2) needed a win to clinch its second consecutive North Division title. The Cornhuskers would love a return trip to Cowboys Stadium to try to claim the conference title as a nice parting gift before departing for the Big Ten.
Now they must beat Colorado on Friday to clinch the North or risk being passed by Missouri.
Nebraska was flagged for 16 penalties for 145 yards. A&M had two penalties for 10 yards.
"No comment. I'm not talking about the penalties," said Nebraska coach Bo Pelini, who fumed on the sidelines during the game. "You all watched the game."

On Thursday, March 27 at 6 p.m., the Comparative Religion Department at Western Michigan University is hosting a talk by Nathan Tabor, doctoral candidate at the University of Texas at Austin. The talk is entitled:
Ethical Publics and Urdu Poetics in Muslim North India
When Muslims recite poetry together, literature takes on a markedly social function. During the 18th century, Persian language speakers in Iran and India formed literary networks by reciting verse at commemorative gatherings for poets and saints. Urdu language speakers in South Asia maintain this tradition today by using literary gatherings to broadcast populist religious ideals, shared irony, and political satire, constituting a public arena where politics and aesthetics come together in verse.
The talk will take place at the Multicultural Center, Adrian Trimpe Hall, 1081 Knollwood Ave. This event is free and open to the public. Parking is free to all in lots #39, #62, #93 and #100--- normal parking restrictions will be suspended in these lots from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on event evenings. Light refreshments will be provided. This event is part of the "Islam in Global Perspective Speaker Series." For more information please visit: http://www.wmich.edu/religion/islam-speaker-series-overview.

Last week, when President Obama delivered his moving address in Tucson it was hard to predict what its impact might be. A brief moment when we were asked to appeal to our better angels that would pass as the trauma of the awful shooting faded from memory or, perhaps, a pivot after which we would all ask ourselves if we couldn't each contribute to a more civil and temperate society.
Today's news suggests that maybe, just maybe, the nature of our discourse might change a bit.
The president had urged us
"to pause for a moment and make sure that we're talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds…. let's use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy and remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together."
The press reported this morning that the governor of Alabama delivered a speech yesterday, the day of his swearing-in, at a Montgomery Baptist church where he declared that,
"If you're a Christian and you're saved…it makes you and me brother and sister….Now I will have to say that, if we don't have the same daddy, we're not brothers and sisters…so anyone here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister and I want to be your brother."
On its face, these remarks could easily spark indignant responses from Jewish and other non-Christian spokesmen. Indeed, the head of American Atheists called the remarks, "outrageous".
But, the head of the Birmingham Jewish Federation, Richard Friedman, was temperate, indeed, it was as if he had absorbed Obama's admonition "to pause for a moment and make sure we're talking in a way that heals."
He spoke about sensitizing "our leaders to the fact that there are non-Christians in this state, and encourage them whenever possible to be sensitive to that."
And in a comment which seemed to reflect Obama's suggestion to "expand our moral imaginations," the Federation's head assessed the context of the governor's comments,
"these folks typically don't mean any harm at all…it never occurs to them that they're saying anything that would make others uncomfortable. They are simply motivated by their passion for their own religious faith."
Friedman appropriately said he would assemble a delegation of Jews and Christians that would try to meet with the governor "as soon as possible to initiate a dialogue."
This incident could just have easily devolved into name calling and nasty assertions of bigotry. The Jewish leaders could have ended up as media stars on cable news networks and a flashpoint for demagogues and publicity hounds would have been created.
Instead, our "instincts for empathy" were sharpened and an opportunity created for greater understanding and less rancor. The Birmingham Federation's leader didn't assume the worst motivation so as to "score points and further the pettiness that drifts away in the next news cycle" (the President's words).
There is always time for anger and outrage, an effort of understanding can't hurt.

The finished size is 53in x 37in. You'll need 304 2.5in squares in various coulours and 40 4.5in squares in cream. Make up 56 squares using 4 of the smaller squares. Then make 40 knocked-off-corners blocks with the 40 cream squares and the remaining 80 small squares. You should now have 96 squares. Then make these into 24 8.5 squares and then into the centre of the quilt. I then used a cot quilt sized batting for it. Hope that helps

Elizabeth M. Haines, 98, a former Moorestown resident and research chemist before women generally landed such jobs, died of heart failure on Nov. 8 at Medford Leas, a retirement community where she had lived for 28 years.
Mrs. Haines was one of the first women to work for the DuPont Co. as a research chemist.
She was descended from William Matlack, who landed in Burlington in 1677. He became a farmer and landowner with a wife and nine children.
Born in a home on Moorestown's Main Street in 1914, Mrs. Haines told family she could recall the predawn procession of horse-drawn farm wagons, laden with tomatoes, en route to the Campbell Soup Co. factory in Camden.

A heat wave has Americans trapped in what feels like a pressure cooker, with more than 30 states under heat advisories.
"It's hot no matter what you're doing or where you are," said Tim Prader, a 50-year-old construction worker
"I can't stand it," one woman complained. Weather experts explained that much of the U.S. is under what's being called a heat dome -- a high pressure system that compresses the hot, moist air underneath it.
Unfortunately, there is no relief in sight. The heat wave is now expanding toward the eastern U.S.
Temperatures along the East Coast are expected to reach over 100 degrees by this weekend.
"It's very hot. Pass out type of weather," New York City construction worker Bob DeFranco said.
"It's too hot, so hot. It's over 100 something," said Prince Zidan, a New York food cart worker.
As the heat wave moves across the country, it's also leaving a path of destruction. In Iowa, the heat caused I-380 to buckle. And in Oklahoma, eight water mains broke when the metal expanded in concrete. The National Weather Service warns that part of what makes the heat wave so dangerous is that it doesn't let up -- even after dark. The scorching temperatures have been blamed for at least 13 deaths since last week. Experts say there a few key things that people should be doing:
Of course, sometimes there's only one thing you can do - go indoors.
"Let's go in," one person exclaimed. "It's too hot out here!"

Apple has just released an update to the second and third generation Apple TV adding five new channels/apps: long-rumored Vevo TV, Disney Channel, Disney XD, Weather Channel and Smithsonian.
Apple TV 2
You might remember Splitmo, the company dedicated to creating mobile apps that leverage 'dual screen' technologies. No? This might refresh your memory: they are the guys behind the popular Air Show app for iPad and Apple TV. Yeah! And now it's time for their new dish.
So, how much would you pay for a new poker table? How about free?
FireCore has released aTV Flash (black) 2.3 for Apple TV 2, which includes a bunch of new features, stability improvements and support for the recently released Apple TV 5.3 firmware. According to FireCore, the new version of aTV Flash (black) is also the first step to bring a number of the new features of Infuse to the Apple TV.
It is always nice to get more out of our hockey pucks called Apple TV. And that, too, without a jailbreak. Cherry on top. Making this possible is a hack claiming to bring Russian subscription service Unlimovie.tv to the Apple TV. Though this Russian movie service may not be of much relevance in other parts of the world, the discovery of such exploits can open doors to providers in other countries too.
Apple has just released a big update to the second and third generation Apple TV. Apple TV software version 5.3 adds HBO GO and WatchESPN, which are now available directly on our little black boxes. In addition, three new content providers are also available today on Apple TV including Sky News, Crunchyroll and Qello offering live news, sports and current TV programming.

The 2012 BCBusiness Guide to MBAs in B.C.
BCBusiness 2012 Guide to MBAs in B.C.
An MBA used to be a ticket to the top – a veritable entrance fee for the aspiring CEO. But now, more than ever, MBA programs reflect the reality of a business world where versatility is paramount, evolution is essential and there are no guarantees.
Blaming MBA programs for all that's wrong with Wall Street has been a popular sport lately, with critics claiming they teach antiquated business models, underplay risk management, ignore ethics and inflate managerial self-importance. Cynics are quick to claim that the curricula are outdated by the time the graduate steps off campus. For proof of the degree's irrelevance they point to business heroes like Steve Jobs, who not only didn't need an MBA, but didn't even finish college.
This isn't the first time MBA programs have come under fire and, in fact, if naysayers didn't speak up during times of economic turmoil, nobody would be faster to ask why not than the academies themselves. If there's one thing business schools consistently do well, it's keep an eye on the big picture, which ultimately may be the best argument for getting an MBA.
Regardless of your reasons for considering an MBA, or at what point in your career you're doing so, one thing is certain: the comprehensive understanding of business provided by B.C. schools is the standard.

Youngster's Drawings Create Magic
By Express News Service - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 07th December 2013 09:05 AM
Last Updated: 07th December 2013 09:05 AM
Etching out her big world, 'Kunjila' grabs the attention of many. Without splurging any colour she draws her world more beautifully with her magical drawings.
Shifra Mary William (Kunjila), a fifth grade student of L'ecole Chempaka in the city, draws her passion towards pets.
'Kunjilayudae lokam', an ongoing exhibition at YMCA Hall, has showcased 40 drawings of this little talent. And it is proof enough of what she is capable of. Each speaks of her zeal to draw.
Kunjila was inspired by cartoons even she was an infant and entered the world of drawings at age five. Adding to the surprise, Kunjila was not trained by a professional and her unique style in drawing is visible in the works.
"We have tried to give her training by professionals. But many of them opposed this, saying that she had her own style and that should not suffer. Kunjila doesn't use eraser while she makes a mistake. We never forced her to draw or to study. But only encourage her to do as she like," said Kunjila's mother Susan Daniel.
Kunjila is a great fan of the cartoon Lion King. To her, an animal's expression can be seen in its eyes. Also, she tries to establish it in her drawings. "I love animals, especially cats, lions, cheetahs and tigers. I draw pictures by observing my three cats," said Kunjila.
Kunjila is comfortable with pencil and wishes to learn painting. She doesn't like to copy pictures from a photograph, but often sketches from her mind.
Her inspiration is her father William George Daniel, a painter and a sculptor. "My parents and teachers encourage me a lot. They help me to select good drawings and work more and more. I had a good collection of pictures. I usually draw four or five pictures per day. My drawings are purely mine. But my father teaches me where to add lights and shadows," she adds.
Kunjila's ambition is to be a photographer in National Geographic Channel. She is also good at taking photographs. "Kunjila once said that she wants to become a zoo keeper. Now she likes wildlife photography. We don't know why she is so fond of animals," said her father.
The three-day exhibition, inaugurated by renowned painter B D Dathan, will conclude on Saturday.

Marketing campaign promotes Wisconsin's business climate
WEDC's "In Wisconsin" brand launch features industry-leading companies in multi-channel campaign
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) unveiled its marketing initiative to brand Wisconsin's business climate and promote the benefits of starting, expanding or locating a business in Wisconsin.
An integrated marketing campaign introducing the "In Wisconsin" brand launches next week in key business-focused media featuring five world-class Wisconsin companies that have set standards in their industries through innovation and leadership
"Over the past year we've enhanced Wisconsin's business climate with regulatory changes and powerful incentives for businesses to grow their operations and expand their workforce," says Gov. Scott Walker, who announced the initiative at a WEDC press conference in Madison. "As a result, Wisconsin has already improved its image as a business-friendly state, as evidenced by recent state business climate rankings by Chief Executive Magazine and CNBC. The In Wisconsin marketing initiative takes the next step by actively promoting the state's benefits to business leaders, both those already here and those considering a relocation or expansion in Wisconsin."
The In Wisconsin brand promotes the state's pioneering spirit and heritage of innovation.
"During this process we involved businesses and economic development partners throughout the state to analyze the core attributes that make Wisconsin a great place to do business," says Paul Jadin, secretary and chief executive officer of WEDC. "Our goal is to reinforce the commitment of in-state business owners within our borders and increase business and economic development activity in our state. While it's always our goal to attract new companies from outside our state, we also want businesses in Wisconsin to know we are here to support them with their growth and expansion strategies."
The participating companies include: Organic Valley (La Farge, Wis.), the nation's largest organic dairy farmer cooperative; Rockwell Automation (Milwaukee), a global leader in industrial automation and information; Schneider National (Green Bay, Wis.), one of the world's largest transportation and logistics companies; Trek (Waterloo, Wis.), world-renowned manufacturer of bicycles and related products; and Virent (Madison, Wis.), a company using naturally-occurring renewable resources to replace crude oil. Additional companies will be added during the ongoing campaign.
"While the campaign draws upon the strong brand recognition of the companies featured, the common thread in all supporting materials is the setting where these stories take place—in Wisconsin," says Jadin
Wisconsin's unique combination of economic assets includes a concentration of industry clusters with worldwide market significance—water, biosciences and renewable energy/clean technology —and its investment in education that fuels cutting-edge research and a skilled workforce. The state also offers businesses low operating costs and a highly responsive network of economic development partners throughout the state.
Paid advertising runs next week through December in a wide array of business-focused media in Wisconsin and in neighboring states such as Minnesota and Illinois, with continued visibility through 2013 and beyond. WEDC will devote $500,000 of its $2 million annual marketing budget to paid media to support the campaign.
The ads are designed to engage business leaders and entrepreneurs by directing them to online videos that detail each company's strong state ties. The campaign will use social media channels to expand reach and engagement. WEDC is developing marketing materials highlighting the benefits of doing business in Wisconsin and will provide materials to economic development partners throughout the state to maximize the marketing impact. Direct outreach to key target audiences such as site selectors is also planned.
As part of the initiative, WEDC established inwisconsin.com as its new web address and is building a robust website to serve businesses looking to start, grow or locate in the state. The marketing agency that helped develop the branding effort and launch campaign is Nelson Schmidt Inc. of Milwaukee and Madison, a leading full-service business-to-business agency.
Visit inwisconsin.com/news to view the campaign materials.
About Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation

In addition to Wisconsin's strong legacy industries of agriculture and manufacturing, recent growth has occurred in water technology, renewable energy, bio-sciences, health care, and food processing. In 2012 Wisconsin was ranked No. 20 in Chief Executive Magazine's "Best States for Business" and No. 17 as a top state for business by CNBC. WEDC partners with 650 economic development organizations throughout Wisconsin to serve businesses looking to start, grow or relocate. WEDC has four focus areas: business and industry development, economic and community development, entrepreneurship and innovation, and international business development.

What would you like to know?
replied 7 years ago.
Sorry, i thought that this was an interactive 'chat', hence last message. I didn't mean to sound so abrupt.
I just seem to 'fit' the description of Borderline PD. I have a long history of unstable relationships, I don't cope well when relationships end. I have had many sexual partners almost all wothout protection. I ran up huge debts that ended with me having to sell my house to pay some of them off, I still owe £20k+.
I have lost many jobs through my inability to keep my emotions under control. I fall out with friends a lot and this causes unpleasantness in the workplace. I am in danger now of losing another job. I am frightened.
I feel down a lot, but don't feel depressed. In the past I have made attempts on life. I have extremely low self-esteem.
I ended up in court 3 years ago as I spiralled out of control following the break-up of a relationship. I was so messed up I drove my car into my ex-boyfriend's house.
Most of my relatioships have become very intense very quickly. But then I start to feel as though I am being 'messed around' and when I have these suspicions, I go to great lengths to find out. When I am proved right in my assumptions, I will do anything to stop them from leaving me.
I become angry for no reason at all. I am struggling to cope. I have been to see a nurse this morning for an assessment and she is still talking depression. I feel there is more to it than this. I don't feel depressed at the moment, just extremely concerned about my inability to stay calm. I am prone to over reaction, I just really want to get to the bottom of it so that I can start some therapy that will help me and not juust be fobbed off with more antidepressants.
Shana Parsons

There is no real "test" for borderline personality disorder as I know it.
Borderline Personality Disorder is a term used to describe a pattern of behaviors (some of which you identify in yourself).
Borderline personality then,, cannot be "cured" in the traditional sense, only managed better since it is part of your personality.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is the traditional course of treatment in the United States, but be careful about labeling yourself with this diagnosis or even in believing you have this diagnosis.
Many experts think that this diagnosis just pathologizes women and behavior that women are frequently socialized into.
I have heard other experts talk about BOrderline Personality Disorder as simply being a name for people who experienced trauma earlier in their lives and also experienced failures in their support network (meaning that you had something traumatic happen, and
not get the support or help you needed at the time- thus the borderline pattern develops out of your attempts to get support, maintain support, etc.)
There is a lot of controversy surrounding this diagnosis. I encourage you to find a therapist who is able to either help you work through your initial trauma before you jump to diagnosing yourself.
It is easy to put people into categories without first seeing them and hearing all of their story.
I believe there is more to you than just "borderline".
Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and just go talk to a good therapist before you label yourself.
Hope this helps

Thank you for your response.
I am aware of the 'dangers' of reading too much on the net and of 'labelling' oneself without having a professional diagnosis.
I have been under the care of mental health services several times over my adult life and always feel that I am being treated without anyone telling me what exactly is wrong with me. I always feel so in the dark and that perhaps things are being overlooked. I don't know how these things work in mental health. I am a healthcare professional myself and I know that I always go to great lengths to explain to my patients what is going to happen and the expected results. This never seems to happen in mental health. I just feel that if someone were to tell me what it is that is wrong, then I can accept this and start to put it behind me. It is frustrating that I never get told.
I guess I feel lost in some way.
Many thanks again, your reply has been of some help as now I know that there is no 'test' as such.
Shana Parsons
replied 7 years ago.
Well, you are right that people need to know about their own health and the results.
I think you should just consider what YOU think is wrong and forget what other people are not telling you.
THere are personality tests out there, but not one specifically for Borderline that i am aware of.
I"m curious how identifying yourself as either borderline or not would be helpful to you.
Again, there is a lot of stigma regarding this diagnosis among mental health professionals. That could be why no one is being straight with you.
Good luck to you thought.
I hope you find someone who can be straight and give you the help you seek!

By By Sgt. Tracy Knowles 101st Engineer Battalion, USD-CFebruary 3, 2010
BAGHDAD - The odds seemed stacked against them from the start.
Flights were cancelled, more than once. The two 101st Engineer Battalion Soldiers weren't able to carry all their training aids on a Black Hawk, so Spc. Danny Rockett was forced to stay behind with the remaining gear.
When Maj. Ralph Pickett arrived at Joint Service Station al-Rasheed the third week of January, he discovered that the building he would teach his classes in had no power, no running water, and the classroom offered little in the way of natural lighting.
Undaunted, the Easthampton, Mass., native, who works as a civilian mechanical contractor back home, jumped in with both feet to set up a 40-hour class on electricity; determined to teach his 9th Iraqi Army Field Regiment students how to safely work with power.
Pickett started with a quick practical lesson on the 3-kilowatt generator. His intention was to teach the IA troops how to properly start it and attach wires to it so they get power to the second floor classroom.
The students listened quietly at first but after a few jokes and questions from Pickett and encouragement from their senior noncommissioned officer, they loosened up.
"Focus and learn. This electrical class is not only about this army, but it is about you," said 9th Iraqi Army Field Regiment, Command Sgt. Maj. Kadhim Malih Jabbr, "You will be able to go home and help your family by being able to fix your homes correctly. Focus and learn."
On the second day of class, Rockett, of Kingston, Mass, arrived at al-Rasheed with the rest of the training aids needed to assist in the hands-on portion of the class.
Once the class began, both instructors taught the Iraqi soldiers how to splice wires with tools specific to the trade. Using wire nuts, Rockett explained the differences between the colored wires.
"The instructors have much knowledge; I am happy to be here working with Rockett," said Cpl. Adnan Mohammad Hassan. "He has taught us how to be safe around electricity. Now, I can fix my own home."
The instructors stressed safety throughout; a message that resonated by the end of the course.
"I am so happy; I have learned many important skills here," said Sgt. Ali Twoman Shamran, a generator mechanic for the 9th IA. "For example, I learned that grounding our equipment is for our safety."
