On Sunday, I sat down with Phillies director of player development Joe Jordan. As usual, I bounced as many names as I could his way until I felt as though I may be keeping the former pro catcher and longtime scout from doing the work that he was at the ballpark to do. Topics of discussion included Adam Morgan's recovery from shoulder surgery, Cameron Perkins' slow start at the Triple-A level, Maikel Franco's turnaround, Dylan Cozens' emergence and several more prospects.
Read ahead for all of Jordan's remarks about some well regarded prospects.
-Are there any updates you can share on lefty pitcher Adam Morgan (3rd round pick, 2011), who underwent shoulder surgery last off-season?
He's throwing, progressing well. You know, I mean, we're hopeful that during instructional league we may have actually him on the mound, participating. But really, right now, he's doing well.
-And righty Shane Watson (supplemental pick, 2012) is completely shut down till next spring, correct?
He's not going to throw any (more) this year. We're just going to try to rehab him and get him ready for spring training.
–Tyler Viza (32nd round pick, 2013) is one of the youngest pitchers in the Class A South Atlantic League. He's got the Lakewood record for losses. He's 19 and it's his first full season as a pro. Any concern about what sort of discouragement that claim to fame could bring for him?
No. He's a strong minded kid. He gets it. He's getting his innings, he's (pitching) every six days. He's gonna gain from this year. Obviously, some of it's been his doing, some of it's not scoring runs, but he's alright.
-Outfielder Dylan Cozens (2nd round, 2012) has had a really nice campaign this year with Class A Lakewood. He has shown loads of power, plenty of speed (.252 avg, 14 HR, 53 RBI, 19 SB, 114 g) and has really improved throughout the year. Thoughts on his season?
I think it's gone the way we hoped it would. He just needs to play. This is just his second year to really play baseball full time in his life. So, he's getting better in every facet of his game.
He's got a chance to be a really good player. If he stays and gains and keeps working, because he is working. He's trying to become a baseball player and, again, you can go down every part of his game that you want and he's getting better in all of them.
-With Class A Advanced Clearwater, Roman Quinn and J.P. Crawford have really been catalysts for that club. Two young, fast, talented guys…
I'm happy that Quinny, once we got him on the field and got him playing, he's done well. And JP's just had a very solid year (in Lakewood and Clearwater). So…listen, it's all about just playing. They need to play and that's what they're getting. It's a good league and they're competing, so it's good.
–Yacksel Rios (12th round, 2011) has has a really nice season for Lakewood (5-1 record, one save, 3.35 ERA, 6.70 K/9, 30 games/10 starts). Any level of surprise with what the 20-year-old has done?
Rios is a young kid and we like him. In a normal year he may have stayed in extended (spring training) and went to Williamsport. Same with (Viza). You know, we just- we were in a position that they needed to come here and we felt like they could benefit from the experience. But, Yacksel's gotten better too. I think he's, you know- like Tyler, we've got about three more starts and I'm a little bit concerned that they're gonna run out of bullets.
–Yoel Mecias is a well regarded hurler, bouncing back from Tommy John surgery. He gets to join the BlueClaws for a stretch, fully healthy, to wrap up the season. What's the outlook for him?
This has been good for Mecias. We figured he'd come up here and have success, throw the ball over the plate. I mean, he just needs to pitch. Long rehab, getting back, don't really care where it's at. This is all about the off-season and next year, for me. So, it's a good level, we had a spot in the rotation, I feel like, like I said, he can get what he needs right here.
-Maikel Franco was the top ranked Phils prospect entering the season. I talked with him in late June, when the offense was still not great, and he promised that the production people expected of him was coming and it did. Clearly, very young, at 21, in Triple-A. What are your thoughts on him?
He's a young hitter that got himself out a lot for about two and a half months. Then we started seeing signs of calming down and swinging at better pitches in June, but, you know, he's done what he traditionally does and what he did here (in Lakewood) two years ago- he's a July/August guy. We gotta turn that calendar up a little sooner. The guys gonna be a good hitter. And he's gonna be a good hitter for us for a while.
-The Phillies have a nice collection of outfielders on the way up with guys like Kelly Dugan, Aaron Altherr, Zach Collier's finally turning it on and some others. What can you tell me about that group?
It's a group that they've got some talent, they've got some ability. I mean, honestly, that group, for me, has been…I think they've gotten better. I think we have good outfielders. We have outfielders that can throw, that can run, that can do some things. Honestly, it's time for someone to step up and separate themselves from the rest of the group with the bat, 'cause they all have the ability to hit. They all have the ingredients to hit and, you know, it's time for one or two of them to separate themselves from rest of them. That's the way I look at it.
-One would think Cam Perkins stood out earlier this year. He moved up to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after starting the year with Double-A Reading.
Well, he was hitting .345 when we promoted him, so I would say he earned the opportunity, and again I think he may have been a little bit like Franco where he's gotta learn older pitchers, veteran pitchers, guys that have major league experience that know what they're doing. They'll identify a young hitter quickly as somebody who ought to get themselves out and they'll just stay away from the hot zone. They'll let you get yourself out and they'll show you a 0-0 fastball up and away, 'cause they know you're geared for fastballs, and you can't do anything with it.
That's what they do and that's what Perkins has done since he's been there. And, again, he'll eventually calm down and be a good hitter. He can hit. I know he can hit. I don't have any doubt that he's going to be a good hitter. It's just growing pains. It's the same thing that Franco went through and the same thing that (Cody) Asche went through when he was there initially and that's something that we've got to get ahead of. And these hitters, we've got to make them understand, maybe at a little earlier time, and again, it's- you're talking about three guys that have gone up to Double-A and hit. It's Triple-A. Franco's starting to hit. Asche did. You've got to be a disciplined hitter. Good hitters hit good pitches.
Additional info: Confirmed by Lakewood manager Greg Legg, the BlueClaws will send five players to the fall instructional league in September. Infielder Malquin Canelo, catcher Andrew Knapp, second round draft pick LHP Matt Imhof, second baseman Andrew Pullin as well as catcher/first baseman Willians Astudillo will be among those who spend an extra month in Clearwater following the minor league regular season.

Guys I am most curious about (guys I think should be impact major leaguers eventually): Crawford, Franco, Nola, and Biddle (obvious ones), Imhof, Mecias, Forsythe, Knapp, Cerna, Jiwan James, and Dugan.
Which of those guys are getting called up in September? that is was will keep me interested in the Phillies.
Nevermind on James. Just saw that he was already released.
And to my knowledge, James remains a free agent. But I wouldn't quote that like it's reliable. I just haven't seen where he's been.
On Nola, he's tapped on innings. He won't be here. Seems like AA is where he belongs right now, anyway. Off 1 start, anyway. Not overmatched, competed pretty nicely. Not sure on the impact opinion you stated. Nice stuff, nice control, opinions that he'll be the first draft choice to hit the bigs, commonly stated is different than a non power pitcher sustaining. Seems pretty iffy to me.
Franco will get a look.
No Roman Quinn on the list. Seems to have a shot at impact. To a degree anyway.
I didn't say anything ridiculous in there, but more knowledgeable opinions may follow.
The Phils offer little hope. Welcome to the 1966 to 1972 Phillies. They stunk then and they will stink for the next four years, at least. Damn shame.
Dump Amaro ASAP !!!!
Not to worry; help is on the way – Phillies just signed Jerome Williams.
Send in the clowns.
Jamie's doing his best Bob Uecker impression today. Following Recker's 3 run 420 foot moon shot to left, he said "Justin's just a liiiiittle off today.
Suicide Mackanin strikes again.
That should be a double. Dude's hat caught that over the wall.
If Adam Morgan would of got the surgery earlier on he may have been up here auditioning. The Phils crack med staff strikes again.
Possibly. I can't say I blame them for trying other options before resorting to surgery.
How can Dave Montgomery watch the Mets ( THE METS! ) walk all over this team and just sit there and do nothing?
Are you kidding. It,s the mets, the marlin's, the braves and the nationals who are much better than the phillies. The phillies will be the worst team in the national league for years. Look at each teams minors league teams. It says a lot about the future. Be patient be very very patient.
Really an over reaction when you consider the resources the Phillies enjoy compared to smaller market teams.
I for one didnt think they would be this bad.
I saw it 2 to 3 years. I could see their window closing and I kept saying rebuild rebuild, but of course I'm not our very brilliant g.m. we could have been like the red sox, rebuilding without the pain and years. We had so many stars who we're so respected, our farm could have been loaded. It would have been a fun time watching young players and free agents who we could afford. Instead, we're loaded with bad contracts. No one can say that was smart.
The level of prescience in so many of our commentators is really astounding.
Amazing. More of the same.
Some of you really crack me up. 2 things. First many teams with money to spend can turn a team around quickly in this day and age. 2 I laugh at some of you that claim they should have rebuilt in the midst of the 5 year run. If the dropped chase Cole or Jimmy in 2010 you would have burned the city down. And those who stopped buying tickets because they were not playoff contenders would not go see no name cheap young talent and would complain they aren't spending enough money and signing big name free agents. Yea I know two or three if you will repost that things you posted against not signing Jimmy and Ryan and how they need to sell high on these guys. But if you will not pay to see the core that brought you the best 5-7 year run in history of this team. Do you would really be going to see Freddie Glavis Travis d'arnld, and Kyle Drabek out there you lying
It was not the best 5 to 7 years. It was the best 5. I am talking about starting a rebuild after 2012. Many teams do it for the best of the team without a riot. I'm obviously talking to myself because no one on this sight believes in rebuilding because no one could handle the changes including the front office.
One could make the argument that they DID start the rebuild in 2012 by trading Pence, Vic and Blanton at the deadline…
I for one think you're correct Frank The rebuild should have started in 12. I wouldn't have given Rollins the contract he has now. I would have went with a two year no option contract. We can talk about this till we're blue in the face. Lets face it Ruben has handcuffs on every aspect of the teams future. He and the organization so overrates our players that other teams would have to be held at gunpoint to deal with us.
It's going to be interesting to find out the two PTBNL's are from the Dodgers we're getting for Hernandez.
Ryne, you're right that we can debate when a more drastic rebuild should have started, but to be honest I don't see how not re-signing Rollins would have accelerated the rebuild at all.
But … again….. The rebuild DID start in 2012. And getting rid of 2/3 of your starting outfield is pretty drastic in my opinion.
The majority of the individuals who comment on this site agree with a rebuild but the path to a rebuild is what they can't agree on. Rollins and Utley were high dollar spends but its not as though there were minor leaguers waiting in the wings to take their place. Not signing either of these two gets you what? Saved dollars is what it gets you (or the ownership group to be specific). According to the GM, however, money is not a problem.
The biggest problem is the failure of their draft picks to pan out. The strategy of taking the most athletic, highest risk, highest upside players has to worked, for whatever reason be the players themselves or the Phillies minor-league development team, or their ability to evaluate talent.
Not necessarily a rebuild, but more of a revamp or retool, as it has been called… Once again I will say that the utley and Rollins deals were fair market deals and nobody was in line to replace them, no minor leaguers and no free agent talent to sign…. The only thing they could have done would be to trade either one of them for some type of unknown return, that in all likelihood would have been crap just like the pence and victorino trades netted us, so I really don't understand the thought process where resigning utley and Rollins hamstrung us in anyway, they have played at or above the level expected….
It's the rest of the team that hasn't played to their expected level, Howard is either still feeling the effect of the Achilles or he's just done, chooch has been injured, brown has been terrible, revere is what you would expect for a no power contact hitter whose not a centerfielder by trade, Byrd has played very well, asche has played well when he's not injured…. The whole team is ups and downs, the bullpen started terrible but then was lights out, the rotation has been rocky behind cole hamels… So I don't know what you're expecting from this team when we talk trades, hamels is the only valuable asset we have that would net us anything but even his true value is debated by many….
It is an ugly situation but if we had the right person to take over and start a rebuild/retool, whatever you prefer, then this team could be fixed in a couple year window I believe…. I do not believe amaro is the man you want captaining a ship of rebuilds and trades for sure

anhyone here make their own food? I want to start her on avocado. I know everyone in m life keeps saying CEREAL to start with, but I am not feeling that!
If I make food do I have to add EBM to it? I guess I will have to get a pump if I need to add it to her food!
What foods are easiest to make? I have a majic bullet and hope to use it to make her food.

- Abstract
- Polypropylene (PP) powder particles were thermally sprayed via a flame spray onto mild steel substrates at room temperature (RT), 70 °C, 120 °C, and 170 °C. Single solidified splats were collected from polished substrates. The splat morphology was characterized using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Micro-Raman spectroscopy examined the effect of substrate preheating on the molecular structure of the PP splats. The splat-substrate interface, porosity and a qualitative interpretation of the interface adhesion were obtained by cross-sectioning and imaging using the focused ion beam (FIB) technique. This study indicated that increasing the substrate temperature from room temperature to 170 °C produces PP splats of larger diameter that would be expected to exhibit improved adhesion. The influence of preheating dominates the splat formation and splat morphology. The Raman spectra indicate that the degree of crystallinity of the PP particles rises with increasing substrate temperature. Comparison of the spectra of the feedstock and the deposited PP particles confirms that there is no thermal degradation of the material under these processing conditions. This work demonstrates the influence of substrate chemistry on the PP splat morphology. Microstructural characteristics are related to the flame spray process variables for polymeric coatings.

St. Mark's Talley - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene Wednesday, October 3, 2012 - 11:29pm
VIDEO: Interview with Lauren Talley
St. Mark's volleyball hitter Lauren Talley is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
Lauren recorded 35 kills and 23 digs in the Spartans' 3 sets to 1 triumph over Ursuline last week.
Lauren says the Raiders bring out the best in her squad.
"Definitely how competitive they are. It brings out our competitive side in a good way and it pushes both teams to work as hard as we can."
The senior says she's nervous before every match, but says her team helps get her through the butterflies.
"When you get up and hit that first ball and you get that great feeling that runs through you and you turn to your team and you cheer and your team's all around you and you know your team is going to work together."
St. Mark's has won back-to-back state championships, and I asked Lauren what winning a state title means to her.
"All of your work and everything you put together. You did it for yourself, you did it for your teammates, you did it for your coaches, and it's giving back to each of them."
Lauren will be joining the CAA Champion Delaware women's volleyball program next year, and says she has an interest in criminal justice.
"The way someone thinks to make them the way they are is completely mind blowing to me. That someone could think a certain way and think that something's okay and have no remorse, but then other people could think it's completely wrong."
Talley and St. Mark's have a big week coming up with games at Wilmington Charter (Tuesday) and conference rival Padua (Thursday).
VIDEO: Footage of an 80 second point between Ursuline and St. Mark's ended by a Talley kill last week.

Request the NSF/NCAR HIAPER research aircraft
The NSF/NCAR Gulfstream-V High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research (GV HIAPER) aircraft is a cutting-edge observational platform that meets the scientific needs of researchers who study many different aspects of the earth's environment, such as atmospheric Chemistry and Climate, Chemical Cycles, Clouds and Aerosols, Solar and Terrestrial Radiative Fluxes, Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere Processes, Mountain Waves and Turbulence, Air Quality, and Mesoscale Weather.
The NSF/NCAR HIAPER is a highly-modified Gulfstream V business jet that has unique capabilities that set it apart from other research aircraft. It can reach 51,000 feet (15,500 meters), enabling scientists to collect data from near the earth's surface to the tops of storms and to the lower edge of the stratosphere. With a range of about 7,000 miles (11,265 kilometers), it can reach many remote locations, allowing for sampling from the North Pole to the South Pole.
Such attributes, plus the ability to carry 5,600 pounds (2,540 kilograms) of state-of-the-art sensors, mean that HIAPER will be on the forefront of scientific discovery. The aircraft modifications allows for sampling using many instruments mounted in the cabin and in custom-built wing pods. Using air intakes, the aircraft enables researchers to study pivotal chemical processes high above Earth that affect global temperatures. As a flying laboratory, scientists are able to probe the upper edges of hurricanes and thunderstorms in unprecedented detail, determining the dynamics that drive these powerful storms, and thus providing valuable data used for earlier prediction such storms.

Jackie Jackson, eldest brother of the late Michael Jackson and member of the Jackson 5, attended the 7pm performance of KÀ by Cirque du Soleil at MGM Grand tonight, Thursday, May 20th. Following the performance Jackie, accompanied by his wife, took some time to meet the cast backstage. Though it was the couple's first time seeing KÀ, the show has welcomed other members of the Jackson family since opening in 2005, including Michael, sister Janet, and father Joe.
Last month Cirque du Soleil and the Estate of Michael Jackson announced a partnership to create two shows featuring Michael's music. Planned projects include a touring show, expected to launch in 2011, and a resident show in Las Vegas in partnership with MGM MIRAGE, expected to open in late 2012. Additional lifestyle projects, including a nightclub, are also being developed in conjunction with the Las Vegas production.

The other morning as we walked along, we came across a bird. It was rather large and we realized it had to be a buzzard or a vulture, but it was covered in fuzz as if it was still a baby - a rather large, disoriented baby that could not fly yet. The beagle that adopted us along the way tried to approach it to scare it off, but as the bird turned to stretch out its wings, the dog decided to retreat.
The dog didn't understand or heed our warnings to stop and go back when it adopted us, but it knew to back away from the bird. Maybe we should have turned and stretched out our arms and taken a few awkward step. If only we had known!
Either way, the bird finally relented and let us have the walking path back, but it looked so disoriented that I wondered whether it might become frightened as we approached and try to attack us. My friend didn't acknowledge my cowardice as I stayed a step or two behind her!
We decided the game warden needed to handle this and placed the call. Therein lay another dilemma. Exactly where were we on the trail? I tried the best I could to explain, but maybe we need to put markers along the path, because the game warden called a while later to let me know where he was and it was not even at our hike-and-bike path, but elsewhere. When he said where he was, I questioned it because I thought we had the only hiking paths around. Guess not.
The paths for each of us lie ahead. We have an opportunity to move forward boldly or with caution, retreat, or hide behind someone or something. Wherever we may go, we know where we are at any given moment, until we are faced with uncertainties. That's when we tell Regis we'd like to "phone a friend."
In our particular case, we called the sheriff's office who contacted the game warden for us. The message was garbled about our whereabouts, and that is understandable. I couldn't even explain where I was and I was there!
There is One who knows where we are at any given moment, answers our calls (yes, no, maybe, or wait), and knows what it is we need before we even ask.
Distance is never an issue. He is always in the wings waiting to hear from us. I purchased a new Bible this weekend, an Amplified Bible, and I am using it for this week's scripture found in Matthew 7:7-8, "Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking (reverently) and (the door) will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened."
He is waiting on the paths of our lives to guide us and direct us safely home. Ask Him.

Robin Johnson of Arvada will fill the Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education seat vacated when former board president Scott Benefield resigned June 30.
Johnson has three children in Jeffco Public Schools and has been active at her local parent-teacher association, according to a statement from the school district. She'll take the oath of office at 6 p.m. Sept. 3 at the district's headquarters.
Johnson will have to run for re-election Nov. 1 if she hopes to keep the seat.
It goes without saying that the owners of the more than 100 classic cars at the Dairy Queen Show and Shine on Aug. 16 are serious about their love for vintage vehicles.
How serious? Consider the sign in the window of a 1941 pearl-white Ford Business Coupe: "Please don't touch. The last person seen touching it was Jimmy Hoffa."
Enough said.
Touching aside, the car owners who packed the Dairy Queen parking lot off South Pierce Street between West Ken Caryl and West Chatfield avenues were eager to talk about their cars and proud to show them off.
Fifty jobs are leaving South Jeffco as United Launch Alliance continues to move its Atlas rocket production to northern Alabama.
United Launch Alliance, based in Centennial, is a joint venture owned by Lockheed Martin and Boeing. The company engineers and produces rockets for the Atlas and Delta rocket programs, with the U.S. government as its largest client.
One of the two Democrats vying for Congressman Mike Coffman's seat in the 2010 election has dropped out of the race.
David Canter, a Highlands Ranch attorney, says fund-raising challenges led him to end his 10-month campaign. That leaves South Jeffco's John Flerlage as the only Democrat in the race.
"During my fund-raising and meeting with people, a lot of people in the 6th Congressional District were staying on the sidelines," Canter said. "That wasn't doing John any good, and it wasn't doing me any good."
Chatfield High School will be open on Monday to all students and staff after 500 freshmen were forced to evacuate the building Aug. 21 as a result of an airborne irritant.
Two dozen Chatfield High School students and staff were taken to hospitals Aug. 21 after the unidentified irritant made them ill. About 500 freshmen at the school for orientation had to evacuate.
A deal that would have Jeffco taxpayers foot an additional $1.5 million for the Foothills Animal Shelter project with the promise of being repaid within five years seems headed for approval.
County staff recently suggested spending an additional $1.5 million from the general fund to make up for slow fund-raising on the part of the Table Mountain Animal Center Foundation.
The new shelter, which will replace the Table Mountain Animal Center, is set to open in fall 2010 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.
Logan Miles, the 7-year-old boy who was severely injured in a July 17 house fire, has died from his injuries.
Family members say the boy died Aug. 6 after surgery related to his injuries at a California hospital, according to Marni Gusich, one of the boy's aunts.
"Considering how bad he was burned, he was doing well," Gusich said. "But overall he was still in critical condition."
Former county attorney Frank Hutfless may have violated attorney-client privilege by offering to testify against the county in a federal wiretapping lawsuit, according to the Jefferson County Attorney's Office, and the county is now asking a federal judge to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Jeffco officials are trying to broker a deal that would ease the county's financial obligation for funding a new animal shelter and shift some of the burden to cities in the county.
Jeffco's investment managers expect to earn $7 million in investment income in 2009, which would be an average 2.3 percent return.
Jeffco treasury officer and portfolio manager Mark Hubbard told the county commissioners Aug. 4 that the county's investment portfolio was at about $304 million at the end of June and that the county had already earned nearly $4.3 million on interest in 2009. Earnings are expected to rise to $7 million by the end of 2009, Hubbard said.

(The entire section is 621 words.)
Pelham Grenville Wodehouse was born in Guildford, Surrey, on October 15, 1881, the third of four sons born to Henry Ernest and Eleanor Deane Wodehouse. Wodehouse's father was a member of the English civil service and spent most of his working years in Hong Kong; indeed, it was a mere chance that Wodehouse was not born in Hong Kong. Whether it was miscalculation or the event was premature, his birth occurred during one of his mother's rare and rather brief visits to England.
Wodehouse was reared away from his parents; they were, he often remarked, like distant aunts and uncles rather than parents. Wodehouse entered Dulwich College at the age of twelve and remained there for the next six years. The school was not prominent in the sense that Harrow and Eton were prominent; it was simply a good middle-class school. The headmaster was the most impressive figure, and he may have served as the model for Wooster's nemesis, the Reverend Aubrey Upjohn. The headmaster was not impressed with his student; he once wrote to Wodehouse's parents: "He has the most distorted ideas about wit and humour.One is obliged to like him in spite of his vagaries." The vagaries, apart from the student's drawing stick figures in his classical texts, are unrecorded. In those final years at Dulwich, Wodehouse found his vocation. He was appointed editor of the school paper and sold his first story to a boys' weekly, The Public School Magazine. The story won first prize for fiction in that year.
Following graduation in 1900, Wodehouse went to work for the London branch of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. His work there was not a complete disaster for the banking industry, but very nearly so. Wodehouse was no good at checks and balances and served only as an unpleasant distraction for those who were. At night, he continued to...

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (WOOD-hows) was born October 15, 1881, in Guildford, Surrey, England, the third of four sons of Henry Ernest and Eleanor Deane Wodehouse. His father spent his career in the Hong Kong civil service, rising to a judgeship. Wodehouse lived only one year in Hong Kong, spending the remainder of his childhood in England with friends and relatives, when not in school. This upbringing accounts for the inordinately large number of aunts and uncles in his fiction.
Wodehouse, known lifelong to his friends as "Plum," followed his brother Armine to school at Dulwich and distinguished himself in Latin and Greek composition, football, and cricket and by writing comic verses for the school magazine, of which he was editor. Wodehouse's school days were perhaps his happiest, the camaraderie of school being celebrated often in his fiction, where "old boys" never let each other down. Seven of his first dozen books are school novels inspired by his Dulwich experiences, most notably Mike: A Public School Story (1909; also known as Enter Psmith, Mike at Wrykyn, and Mike and Psmith), which examines the disadvantages of joining an older brother at school. More important, at Dulwich Wodehouse discovered writers, such as Charles Dickens, W. S. Gilbert, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle, who profoundly influenced his development as a literary artist.
Wodehouse had planned to continue his education at Oxford, but his father's financial setbacks forced him to join the London office of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. In several Wodehouse novels, the possibility of having to work in a bank seems grim to the protagonists, and the author himself hated the routine of his job and was determined to leave the bank before being sent to a position in the Far East. After two years as a bank clerk, he was hired by the Globe, a London newspaper, through a former master at Dulwich, and he soon inherited the master's column. During this period, he began publishing school novels as serials in boys' magazines and more sophisticated stories in such magazines as Strand. The school serials were also published as books, beginning with The Pothunters (1902).
On a trip to the United States in 1909, Wodehouse sold stories to Cosmopolitan and Collier's magazines for much more money than he had received in England. He resigned from the Globe, settled in Greenwich Village in New York City, and tested the American market further, writing detective stories for pulp magazines and serving as drama critic for Vanity Fair. In 1914, the Saturday Evening Post bought Something Fresh (1915; also known as Something New), the first of the series of novels set at Blandings...
(The entire section is 1148 words.)
While the books that P. G. Wodehouse produced over his last decade do not match the earlier ones in vitality, his fiction was amazingly consistent in quality over much of his uniquely long career. Working so many variations on the same types of characters and situations is truly a remarkable achievement. Even if such an England as he presents never existed, Wodehouse convinces his readers that it should have. His is the sublimest of escapist literature.
Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (WOOD-hows) is a name that conjures up the most lighthearted and sunniest of comic worlds described by a master stylist of the English language. Born on October 15, 1881, in Guildford, England, he was the third son of a British civil servant serving in Hong Kong. To give their children an English education, his parents sent them to England; there they attended various boarding schools and visited relatives during the summer holidays. Wodehouse's upbringing explains the relative scarcity of parental figures and the corresponding preponderance of aunts in his most popular works, especially in those featuring Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. Bertie is firmly ruled by the strength of will of his female relatives,...

first my son was born 5-2-06 he is now 7 weeks old. I have been trying to relactate since he was a little over 5 weeks, but really started getting active since Sunday (everyday he would latch some but now i am trying before every feeding etc) he does comfort nurse a lot now. nothing very aggressive sense he usually falls asleep while doing so.
I had breast augmentation surgery on July 11th of 2005
got pregnant Early August due to an opps with FAM and a steroid shot for capsular contraction
I had him May 2nd less then 10 months post surgery
I knew i may have BF issues due to the surgery and still healing.
well I nursed for 1 week. then off and on for a week. the pain was horrible. I know nursing can hurt but it was just unbearable. I think some of it may have to do with me not even being a year out and completely healed due to my surgery. I had the peri-areola incision, so whenever he would suck the scar tissue was in his mouth and so painful. I know for a fact I did have milk. I had a fine supply to full fill him so I am hopeing to be able to at least feed him a few times a day.
Everyone who helped said he was latched perfectly and it shouldn't be hurting too bad. I met with the LC and a LLL leader, they said he nursed beautifully but I gave up too soon due to some stress at home.
well the 8th I got pink eye and pumped to see if i could get some BM to help with that. I got half an oz. mostly from my right breast.
I started that Sunday latching him. he latched for an hour on the right not really getting anything but he was comfort nursing while falling in and out of sleep
then the rest of the week i tried, he would latch a few minutes a day at least. but i wasn't too pushy about it because i was hopeing to slowly toughen my nipples...(now i wish i was aggressive from the beginning)
friday i bought some fenugreek . 3 pills 3 times a day.
he barely latched from friday to sunday and i think it may be due to me getting my first PPAF, or maybe the fenugreek taste? but i am now taking 3 pills 4 times a day (they are only 350 mg a piece)
my pump has to be on the highest setting to even get drops.( I am using the medela PIS) I continue to pump BUT am not sure if it will just cause more damage then good?? since I am not getting anything out on the highest setting? should i just use a lower setting as to give stimulation?
since the pump isn't getting anything I try hand expression and can get a few squirts, then massage and get a few more then I get only drops then nothing.
anyway. I wanted to ask for some advice, or maybe just some support as i don't want to give up this time.(I tried to relactate with my first but gave up soon after because he had reflux and cried constantly i didn't want to aggrivate him more then i was)
He will only latch with the nipple shield, I do keep trying to get him to latch without it to just get some more stimulation but as it is he will not take it...I really wish I would of thought to use one in the beginning of my problems because I may have stuck it out longer. but i didn't think of it.
i haven't noticed a big change yet at all in supply.
when should I notice a change? I would think i could tell easily if i get milk or not because of the implants?? but not positive..he has been on enfamil AR because of reflux (nothing bad like my first) so he has hard ball poops. yesterday i noticed it was softer and i *think* I MAY have seen seedy poop...(I was at the park and didn't want to star too long lmao)
then today another softer poop. not really seedy but softer then it has been so maybe just maybe he is getting something!
any random advice to help me? I really really wish and pray that i can do this this time.
i do have a capsular contracion (hardening of scar tissue )in my right breast as well.... i may need surgery to fix it but will wait if i am able to nurse him. I just want to be able to nurse him as much as possible. even if it's only once in the morning or at night. i figure starting out not expecting too much might help me not get discouraged.
I don't want to give up too early but don't know how long i should wait to get some milk in... i do have Some but not much ... typically how long does it usually take for someone to notice a diffence? how long should i continue the fenugreek for? I orded some blessed thistle as well and am waiting for that to come in.
he nursed 9 times total today anywhere from 5 minutes to 20...and pumped 4 times.
this is so long. thanks to anyone who has time to read and give me some advice/support.
thank you ! I am sure i missed some things I wanted to say!

Parker Posey. I'm sure there's loads of people that have no idea who she is. There's a whole world of people that won't watch any movie that isn't in the top 10 (if that). I don't consider Winona an indie queen because she was in a large number of very high profile movies. Movies she starred in made pretty decent money unlike say – Doom Generation or Frankenstein.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Copyright Trolls
Last week, TorrentFreak ran an interesting pair of posts offering opposing views on an issue that has become increasingly important with the rise of the copyright trolls: whether a person who runs an open wifi network can be held liable when others use the network for copyright infringement.
In a major blow to one of the most pernicious copyright trolls now operating, the US Copyright Group (USCG), federal judge Robert Wilkins of the District of Columbia has effectively dismissed thousands of Doe defendants due to lack of jurisdiction.
Despite a string of courtroom losses, copyright troll Righthaven continues to pursue its misguided infringement litigation. Tuesday, EFF filed an amicus brief in support of a defendant moving to dismiss Righthaven v. Wolf, the lead case in the federal court in Colorado.
Righthaven sued blogger Leland Wolf and his It Makes Sense blog for a parody of a photo printed in the Denver Post documenting a TSA agent performing a pat-down search. In a pattern used in dozens of other cases, Righthaven created the lawsuit by first scouring the Internet for blogs and discussion forums that posted the photo, and then sued for infringement, claiming it had acquired the copyright of the photo before it started legal action.
Yesterday in Righthaven v. Democratic Underground a federal court in Las Vegas ordered the notorious copyright troll Righthaven to pay $5,000 in sanctions and to file the court transcript containing its admonishment in hundreds of other copyright cases. EFF represents Democratic Underground.
Righthaven tried to build a business out of suing hundreds of bloggers and websites for allegedly infringing the copyrights in Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper articles, but was stopped short by evidence EFF uncovered: the secret "Strategic Alliance Agreement" between Stephens Media (publisher of the Review-Jounal) and Righthaven, which showed that the assignment of the copyrights was a sham.
The copyright trolling world has been hopping in the past several weeks, and some developments seem to bode well for the protection of due process. All in all, we've seen the number of total Does sued rise to over 190,000, and we estimate that the number of Does remaining after the various dismissals is over 140,000. The following are the cases in which Does have been dismissed since we last reported.

Monitoring Our Waters
The water quality monitoring program is the cornerstone of the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) entire watershed program. Water quality monitoring includes:
Stream monitoring supports stream resource management in the County in many ways:
Where is the Pollution?
Streams are often at the receiving end of rainfall (stormwater) runoff from land surfaces and local stormwater drain-pipe systems. Stormwater pollution, as well as sewage from leaky sewer lines and contamination from landfills, can shock a stream system for a brief period. But if these influences are persistent and repeated, they can degrade streams and the aquatic habitat for insects, fish, stream salamanders, and other biological communities.
Where is DEP Monitoring?
All County watersheds are monitored in detail once every 5 years according to a defined schedule. The map below illustrates the areas to be monitored in 2014 and 2015. The streams in Special Protection Areas are monitored every year.
You Can Help DEP Monitor Our Streams!
Several Montgomery County watershed groups have volunteer monitoring programs where County residents go into the field to collect data. The data is then submitted to DEP to be incorporated with the County collected data. To get involved with the monitoring and protection of a specific stream that is significant to you, view this list of local watershed groups and contact them to see if they offer volunteer monitoring. Data can be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The following are user-friendly DEP data sheets and protocols that volunteers may use:
Habitat Assessment (PDF, 5.7MB)
Amphibian and Reptile Monitoring (PDF, 89KB)
The DEP Biological Monitoring Program offers an excellent opportunity to train with County ecologists as they assess the health of watersheds in Montgomery County. These are unpaid internship positions, although they might be eligible for credit at universities and colleges that require an internship to graduate. Learn more about the summer internship program.
What Lives in Our Streams?
Montgomery County's streams are home to a diverse community of plants and animals including hundreds of species of stream bugs, over 60 species of fish, almost 60 species of reptiles and amphibians, nine species of crayfish, and more than ten species of freshwater mussels. All of these unique animals live together forming the stream ecosystems throughout Montgomery County.
I Want To Learn About:
Biological Monitoring
Biological monitoring is the study of biological community structure and function to determine water quality. Biological organisms, such as aquatic insects, fish, and stream salamanders, rely on water—normal stream flows and supportive habitat conditions—to survive. Stream ecosystems have numerous biological communities that are interrelated, but some are easier to collect and analyze, and offer a better indicator of water quality, than others.
Biological indicators, includes evaluating the mix of species found, their life-stages, survival, reproductive stage, and health, to evaluate the condition of habitat in and around our waterways, as well as the quality of the water itself.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends the use of at least two biological groups to work as indicators of the overall health of any stream.
The County uses benthic macroinvertebrates and fish to assess stream conditions. Amphibians (stream salamanders) have been monitored since 2008 to provide another biological indicator. In addition, Montgomery County collects data on the presence and absence of freshwater mussels, crayfish, and invasive plants to determine the distributions of species in these groups.
What does DEP do with Biological Data?
Assessing waterbody health using biological assessments is fairly complicated. Saying that a water body is healthy because a certain type of organism was found there or that it is unhealthy because it does not support a certain type of organism is overly simplistic. DEP uses biological data in the following ways:
The Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) uses multiple 'metrics' from the data collected to calculate a score for a waterbody. This involves taking various raw data about number of individuals and other characteristics about the species found in the waterbody and using a peer-reviewed methodology to "rate" the data collected from our streams with numeric indices developed from similar data collected from numerous similar streams. The results are then combined for an overall IBI score for the category being assessed (e.g., fish IBI score, benthic macroinvertebrate IBI score).
To develop an overall IBI score for a water body, DEP then combines the two species IBI scores (fish and benthic macroinvertebrates) and expresses the combination as a score whose maximum possible is 100% compared to the 'best' streams in Montgomery County. These scores are translated into narrative rankings Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor. The IBI thus provides both a numeric score and a descriptive assessment of water body health.
Because the County monitors all watersheds in the County at least once over a 5-year period, an overall snapshot of the condition of the County's watersheds, as measured by bioassessment, can be compiled every five years. This gives the County a good handle on watershed health trends over time.
Found an Animal?
If you found an animal in the wild, DEP recommends that you avoid picking up or touching the animal. Wild animals can be unpredictable and occasionally, dangerous if they feel threatened. In general, animals, captured from the wild do not make good pets and should be left alone.
Of all the snake species in Montgomery County, only one, the Copperhead, is venomous. Harmless snakes such as the Northern Water Snake, Easterns Rat Snake, and Corn Snake are often mistaken for copperheads.
Is the Animal Sick or Injured?
If you found a sick or injured animal, call the police non-emergency number of 301-279-8000.

Stream Habitat
Stream habitat is one of the important factors that affect aquatic communities. Stream habitat describes the quality of the place or environment where the aquatic wildlife (fish, amphibians, stream bugs) live.
In Montgomery County, poor habitat is usually the most likely cause of a lack of aquatic species diversity, poor health, and decreased population sizes. Degraded in-stream habitat often results from uncontrolled storm water runoff and uncontrolled runoff from intensively grazed or cultivated agricultural land. Other reasons for poor stream habitat include altered stream flows, excess sediment, and a loss of surrounding trees and shrubs that help slow the erosion of the stream. Chemicals and pollutants also negatively impact stream habitat.
How does stream habitat affect the aquatic community and the environment?
Stream habitat affects the aquatic community in many ways.
In addition to habitat conditions in the stream, the condition of the adjacent stream banks and stream valley also affect the aquatic community. Some of the problems in the stream valley and stream bank include:
Stream habitat is monitored by the DEP every time a stream is monitored for either aquatic insects or fish.
Stream Habitat Assessment Activities
Stream habitat is assessed in the field by trained biologists using a set of ten habitat features that rank important physical habitat attributes*. Each habitat feature is scored by two biologists who work together as a team to assess each specific habitat attribute. Habitat features are ranked into a category (i.e.: optimal, sub-optimal, marginal, or poor) using well defined criteria. All rankings are done through observation by the team, no direct measurements are taken.
The County reduces subjectivity and personal biases in using this visual based ranking method by having everyone on the monitoring team attend and successfully complete a calibration session. The habitat assessment is always done by 2 people so the final ranking represents a 'compromise' between the 2 staff that actually reduces variability among raters.
Each habitat parameter is given a score from 0 to 20. For cases where each side of the stream is assessed separately (e.g., stream banks), each side is scored from 0 to 10. There are a total of ten habitat parameters, so the highest possible score is 200.
The ten habitat parameters are as follows:
*Barbour and Stribling: Visual Based Habitat Assessment for Riffle/Run Prevalent Streams
Habitat Assessments Combined with Biological Monitoring
In-stream aquatic biological communities that are found to be impaired often are a result of degraded habitat. The table below describes four possible simplified scenarios relating biological condition to habitat condition. For example, if habitat is degraded, the biological community would be expected to be impaired. However, if the habitat is not degraded, but the biological community is impaired, then chemical contamination is suspected.
Improving Habitat Quality with Stream Restoration
DEP restores streams with damaged habitat. For stream restoration to be most effective and remain in place, uncontrolled stormwater flows to the stream must be controlled which often involves retrofitting stormwater management ponds in sequence with the stream.
Physical Features of Streams
Taking different measurements of a stream channel over time will show how the stream channel changes (or remains stable). These changes are from natural and human-caused influences. The physical shape and features of a stream are necessary for aquatic organisms to survive. Diverse channel features can support healthy aquatic communities.
A carefully designed monitoring program can be an effective tool for tracking changes to the stream channel that result from both natural occurrences and changes in land use; both of which can have profound effects on the shape of the stream. Four measurements are frequently taken to describe stream shape, slope, and stream bed composition:
1. Longitudinal profile
a) Is a 'slice' down the stream.
b) Measures the slope of the stream, and lengths and number of riffles, runs and pools.
c) Measurements over time can show trends in sediment build-up or erosion. Looking at these trends, we can see how disturbances such as floods or increased sediment amounts from land-use modify the channel bed.
2. Cross-section profile
a) Is a 'slice' across the stream.
b) Measures the shape of the steam bed, stream banks and the width of the stream channel.
c) Measurements over time can show how the stream channel adjusts (widening, getting deeper or shallower) to accommodate the various flows and amounts of sediment it handles.
3. Channel sinuosity
a) Is the wavy shape of a stream.
b) Streams form into these wave-like shapes because of the amount of flow and sediment they carry.
c) Importance of measuring channel sinuosity:
1) It compares the stream's adjustment to flow and bed load.
2) A stream that changes from a wavy shape to a straight stream is reacting to increased flow and bed load.
4. Pebble counts
a. Will measure the changes in the composition of the stream bed material over time.
b. For example, a stream may go from having mostly large, cobble size particles, to having mostly sand and gravel size particles as the stream fills in.
DEP performs extensive physical and chemical monitoring of streams, including stream flow, precipitation and stream channel surveys. Learn more about this research and data on the Physical and Chemical Monitoring page.
Water Chemistry
Chemical monitoring provides additional insight into the quality of water every time a site is visited. Occasionally, it is possible to detect a pollution event in a stream by taking note of pH, conductivity, temperature, and/or dissolved oxygen. After noting an abnormal reading, it is sometimes possible to walk upstream to investigate a potential pollution source.
Physical Chemistry Monitoring Activities
The following physical chemistry data is collected at every stream monitoring site:
DEP performs extensive physical and chemical monitoring of streams, including stream flow, precipitation and stream channel surveys. Learn more about this research and data on the Physical and Chemical Monitoring page.
Requests for Data
Interested in accessing Montgomery County's stream monitoring data? Individuals and groups can file a request for data by contacting the Department of Environmental Protection.
To request data, send an email to email@example.com with the following information:
What Type of Data Can I Request?
Once numbers of individuals are summed for each species present at a stream site, a fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) is calculated based on multiple metrics. The IBI is used to rank the stream in relation to reference stream conditions. To use biological data properly, water resource analysts generally compare the fish data (actually not the raw data but a multi-metric index based on the data) from the stream sites under study, to indices from stream sites in ideal or nearly ideal condition (often called a reference condition). Stream sites are then ranked against the reference condition. This helps DEP set priorities for watershed restoration and improvement.
The fish IBI is averaged with the benthic macroinvertebrate IBI to determine overall stream conditions.
Fish IBI metrics are listed below. A technical, peer-reviewed methodology is used to take raw data and develop them into an acceptable Stream Rating score.
Montgomery County has tabular raw fish data and fish narrative summaries from 1994-present for most monitoring sites around the County. Also available are GIS coverages (or maps) showing fish conditions. Maps can be developed to order depending on the request. Submit a request for either raw data or data in maps.
The following tables provide an explanation of the datafields found in our raw tabular data:
Benthic Macroinvertebrates
DEP collects a sample of benthic macroinvertebrates from the stream and returns to the laboratory for further sub-sampling. Individuals from the sub-sample are identified (usually to the genus level) and enumerated. From these data, metrics are calculated, scored, and then summed to obtain a final Benthic IBI score.
There are a total of eight metrics comprising measures of biological structure and function; each metric is scored either as a one, three, or five. The highest possible final score is 40 (5 x 8). To determine the overall stream condition, benthic IBIs are averaged with fish IBIs.
* EPT = taxa that are either mayflies (Ephemoptera), stoneflies (Plecoptera), or caddisflies (Trichoptera); aquatic insects that spend all of their juvenile or larval life stages instream.
To determine a narrative based on a final metric score, the following breaks are used. These breaks are determined by plotting reference stream benthic conditions.
Available Benthic Data
Montgomery County has tabular raw benthic data and benthic narrative summaries from 1994-present for most monitoring sites. Also available are GIS coverages (or maps) showing benthic conditions. Maps can be made to order depending on the request.
Herptofauna (Amphibians and Reptiles)
Stream Salamander Index of Biotic Integrity
Data from the first year (2008) of stream salamander sampling will be evaluated using the Stream Salamander Index of Biotic Integrity (SS-IBI) (Southerland et al. 2004; Southerland and Franks 2008). The current metrics for the SS-IBI in the Piedmont Region are:
This evaluation will determine if a modification to the IBI scoring methodology is needed. The IBI is being evaluated by the Maryland Biological Stream Survey.
Data and Species List
View a list of species found in Montgomery County (PDF, 52KB)
Available Data: Montgomery County has amphibian and reptile data from its pilot program (2001-2007). Data from 2008 is expected to be available in the future.
Stream Habitat
Montgomery County has collected habitat data from 1994 to the present. Most monitoring stations have Rapid Habitat Assessment data for both the spring benthic and summer fish collections.
Habitat scores are scored by a team of at least two biologists, and are somewhat subjective. Ideally, the scores from spring to summer should be somewhat similar.
Physical and Chemical Data
Montgomery County has tabular physical chemistry data from 1994-present for most monitoring sites.
Data Constraints
Instantaneous physical chemistry data is not a reflection of the long-term water quality of a stream. There may also be instances when the sampling equipment was malfunctioning or not calibrated correctly. Be careful to check comments. Also, most of the individual parameters should not be compared to each other due to differences in the time of year and even time of day samples were taken.
Stream Channel Survey Data
DEP stream channel survey data is entered into data forms, which log information on the following worksheets:
To access this data, contact DEP directly.
Stream Temperature Data
Montgomery County has collected instream temperature data from 1995 to the present. However, the sites selected for temperature monitoring would not be available for every year since 1995. Tables and maps are available showing the locations where temperature was monitored during specific years. Maps can be made to order depending on the request.
Data Constraints
For proper interpretation, water temperature data should be compared with air temperature and precipitation data from the same time period.

One of the most important questions you will explore while at college is, "Who Am I?" Knowing who you are informs what you do in life. The Counseling Center offers career counseling to aid students with their personal career exploration. Career counseling assists students in better understanding how their values, interests, skills, passions and world outlook influence their career decisions.
Career counseling assists students in exploring majors and careers where they might find satisfaction. Students at all points in their career exploration process (e.g. those who "undecided," those looking to switch major, and those looking to better understand how to apply themselves in their already chosen fields) are invited to participate in career counseling.
Students are encouraged to schedule a confidential appointment with a career counselor to determine which of the following services might best aid them in their career needs. Students can participate in individual career counseling, attend a career exploration workshop/group, or do both.
The Counseling Center is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Appointments can be made by calling 414-288-7172 or by dropping by the Counseling Center in Room 204 of Holthusen Hall.
Individual Career Counseling
Students attend career counseling to do some of the following:
Career Exploration Workshops
At least once a semester, the Counseling Center offers a Career Exploration Workshop Series. Over 4-6 weeks, a small group of students will meet once a week to:
Identify and Clarify: your career interests, values, strengths/abilities...
Normalize: hear and learn from other students who are in a similar situation
(have no idea what to major in, experience parental pressure to enter
a specific field, etc.)...
Inspire: witnessing others experience growth and progress in their career
journeys can inspire hope that we will also find the answers we are
looking for...
Discuss: energizing conversations with peers, facilitated by the workshop leader,
about career-related topics...
Gain Information: about decision-making models, resources for learning more
about specific occupations, benefit from the questions asked by others...
Create: a personalized "next steps" plan for your career path
Presentations on career counseling topics can also be requested by student organizations and university faculty and staff. Such requests should be directed to the Coordinator of Career Counseling at the Counseling Center (414) 288-7172. Those interested in joining a workshop series should contact the Counseling Center to determine when the next group starts and learn how to sign up.
The Counseling Center offers a variety of assessment instruments to aid students in exploring how their interests, values, and personality characteristics relate to various academic majors and occupation alternatives. Two widely used instruments are the Strong Interest Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
The Strong Interest Inventory measures interests in a broad range of occupations, work and leisure activities, and academic subjects. Results compare the student's interest patterns with the interest patterns of individuals in a variety of different occupations.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator measures personality preferences and is used to help students increase their understanding of how personality influences career decision- making. Results help students identify and explore occupations that are attractive to their individual personality preferences.
The assessment process typically involves an initial meeting with a counselor, who will help identify which instruments and/or activities are most appropriate, as well as 1-3 additional sessions to interpret the results of the instrument(s) in a manner that is relevant to real life and each student's unique and specific needs.
Undergraduate Majors by College: Students seeking an undergraduate degree at Marquette University may choose from over 50 undergraduate majors, which are grouped by college.
Graduate and Professional Programs: Marquette University offers 35 graduate programs, which include more than 20 degrees and certificates to choose from.
What can I do with this Major?: Students may find viewing MyPlan.com's site regarding "What can I do with a Major in...?" to be helpful.
Occupational Outlook Handbook: This handbook, compiled by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, is revised every two years. Over 250 occupations are described covering about 85% of all workers. Information includes career descriptions, required skills, working conditions, employment outlook, training and advancement, earnings, related occupations, and more.
O*NET: Occupational Information Network: An up-to-date information source on over 1,100 careers. Provides cross-reference information to other career resources. Also includes a skills search.
Informational Interviewing: Want to gather career information from those who are actually doing the job? Arrange an informational interview and check out this article to determine questions to ask and more.
Career Services Center: Visit our Career Services Center to discuss internships, practice interviewing skills, get help writing a resume, meet with potential employers, etc. It is never too early to stop by their office.
