On-Campus Interviews - preparations by Search Committee
The committee must decide on the interview format before candidates are called. You must bring at least 2 candidates, who meet qualifications, to campus for interview.
- Who will be involved?
- What constituency groups need to be represented?
- How should the interviews be scheduled?
- Who will do the arranging?
- Who will escort the candidate through the day and monitor the time?
- Who will introduce the candidate, ask the questions and moderate the process?
- What questions should be asked?
- Who will develop an evaluation sheet to be completed by invited interviewers; who will collect and evaluate them?
- Is the interview location wheelchair accessible? If not, call Space and Scheduling to arrange a site. Applicants should be asked if they would like to request any other accommodations.
These are just a few of the questions that need to be answered as early as possible to hasten and facilitate the process. If you need some assistance in arranging for a minority and/or community group representative, please call the Office of Equity and Compliance 780-5510. Please keep in mind that the interview and associated arrangements allow the candidate to evaluate the job, future coworkers and the institution. The candidate will be evaluating you, USM and the broader community.
Expenses: The recruitment budget for E&G positions has been allocated and may not be adequate to cover expenses. You will have to request additional funds from your appropriate executive officer.
Travel: Air travel reimbursement will cover coach fare only for commercial travel. If auto travel is feasible and costs less than commercial travel, USM will reimburse the cost of auto travel at the current University rate for mileage.
Lodging: No candidate should be provided lodging in the home of any person on the screening committee.
Meals: Meal costs should be kept within reasonable limits. USM will not cover any liquor expenses. The university will normally reimburse meal costs for only the candidate and two or three committee members.
Preparing the Candidates: With the above plans in place, the candidates can be notified by phone or email to set up the appointment. Appropriate materials regarding the program and the university should be sent to each candidate well in advance of the interview. Note: Ask the candidates if they would like to request accommodations or have interests that could be arranged for during the visit.
Conducting the Interview: Criteria and/or areas for discussion must be consistent for all candidates. The questions for candidates need to be job related and, when appropriate, to broader issues related to the university. The same set of core questions must be used for each candidate, (even internal candidates) with individualized questions added for the purpose of clarifying information about applicable experience. Questions regarding age, race, veteran status, or sexual orientation are also not to be asked. See Legal - Illegal Quesitons and examples of Behavior-based Questions.
Special considerations: Laws and policies of non-discrimination prohibit you from asking questions about a person's disability. Do not make assumptions about the person's ability or inability to perform the job. You may always ask a candidate to describe or demonstrate how he/she would perform any essential functions of the position.
All individuals or groups involved in the on-campus interview should be given interview guidelines for use during the interview. Their responses should be submitted in writing to the Chair of the committee.

In a break with 169 years of tradition, an Irish Guardsman rather than a Scot is expected to become the Queen's official piper.
The monarch has chosen Colour Sergeant David Rodgers of the Irish Guards to play for her each morning. He will replace Pipe Major Derek Potter who is understood to be retiring from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards after four years in the role.
The official piper plays outside whichever of the Queen's residences she is staying — a tradition that dates back to Queen Victoria's first visits to the Highlands with Prince Albert.

At an 11-nation meeting in Turkey this weekend, there was one thing the United States, European and Arab states could agree on: that with more than 70,000 killed and millions of people displaced, the Syria crisis, as Secretary of State John Kerry says, is "horrific."
"The stakes in Syria couldn't be more clear," Kerry said. "Chemical weapons, the slaughter of people by ballistic missiles and other weapons of huge country; the potential of a country – a great country, with beautiful people – [is] being torn apart."
Western governments are still investigating claims of chemical weapons use, but the Syrian opposition arrived at the meeting seeking interventions to neutralize Syria's chemical weapons and ballistic missile capabilities. They also want a no-fly zone, and a lot more weapons.
But many among the opposition's backers are wary of shipping arms to the fractious Syrian rebels, for fear that they'll end up in the hands of Islamist units like the al-Nusra front, that recently announced an alliance with al-Qaida.
The nightmare scenario of a sectarian bloodbath led by al-Qaida linked radicals was seized on by President Bashar Assad, who told state television last week that history shows that backing extremists for short-term gain often backfires.
"They financed al-Qaida in Afghanistan, and paid for that later," Assad said, adding a threat sometimes heard in jihadist videos. "Now they support al-Qaida in Syria, and they will pay in Europe and the heart of the United States."
The Syrian opposition says it condemns "all forms of extremism," and opposition coalition head Moaz Khatib pledged that all Syrian minorities would be protected in a post-Assad Syria. He called on Assad's allies to stop propping up what he called a murderous regime.
We want Iran to stop its activities, said Khatib, and he called on Hezbollah to withdraw all of its fighters from the field.
In the end, the opposition didn't get the weapons or intervention it wants, and the west seems no closer to deciding the thorny question of whether to send arms.
Analyst Andrew Tabler at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy says the dilemma is real, but delaying is also a kind of decision, because arms from the Persian Gulf have already strengthened the al-Nusra front and other Islamist units, increasing the prospects that they will have an important role in a post-Assad Syria.
"This is a really big debate … how do you influence a rapidly deteriorating situation if you don't deal with the reality of the fact that those who are taking the shots against Assad will be calling them when he's gone?" Tabler says.
The "friends of Syria," including the Arab states now sending weapons, agreed to funnel all future military aid through the Free Syrian Army, which has tried to distance itself from the al-Nusra front. Kerry also warned that "other types" of aid would be considered if cease-fire efforts remain stalled.
But for the moment, as Syria spirals toward what U.N. officials call a "humanitarian catastrophe," both the Syrian opposition and the international community remain divided on key issues, effectively leaving a bloody military stalemate to grind on.

Learn more about the history, cleanup activities and possible future uses of the Hanford Site, a 586-square-mile government site in southeast Washington State. | Video courtesy of the Energy Department.
The Energy Department is committed to a safe, complete cleanup of the environmental legacy of five decades of government-sponsored nuclear weapons development and nuclear energy research. As part of this mission, we safely and cost-effectively transport and dispose of low-level wastes; decommission and decontaminate old facilities; remediate contaminated soil and groundwater; and secure and store nuclear material in stable, secure locations to protect national security.
PADUCAH, Ky. – EM recently completed demolition of the last of 32 inactive facilities to be removed as part of the cleanup scope that existed before commercial uranium enrichment operations ended at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant and the plant facilities were returned to DOE.
Today, Secretary Moniz announced that the Energy Department is moving forward with planning for a separate repository for high-level radioactive waste resulting from atomic energy defense activities.
A new project will turn the old K-25 site in Tennessee into a new industrial park for future economic development.
The building's efficient design is expected to result in an energy cost savings of more than 70 percent over the life of the facility.

In the marvelous 1580s everything was beginning to ripen together in the heat of the tension between England and Spain. Poetry and the drama that had been so sparse and backward were coming to a head with Sidney and Spenser and Marlowe; the first Elizabethan madrigals appear in the very year the war against Spain begins. And this is the moment when the idea of American colonization takes shape and wing—or, perhaps I should say, takes sail.

"The current was too strong, the demagogues too numerous, the fall elections too near"
The United States in the 1890's became aggressive, expansionist, and jingoistic as it had not been since the 1850's. In less than five years, we came to the brink of war with Italy, Chile, and Great Britain over three minor incidents in which no American national interest of major importance was involved. In each of these incidents, our secretary of state was highly aggressive, and the American people applauded. During these years, we completely overhauled our decrepit Navy, building fine new warships like the Maine.

Summer is a great time of year to go on a two- wheel adventure and the Greenwich Historical Society's Bike Tour of Greenwich Point fits the bill. -In partnership with the town's "Experience the Sound" festival, the second annual "History on Wheels" family bike tour will take place at Greenwich Point on Sunday, June 23, 2013, at 2:00 pm. Participants will pedal around the point, stopping along the way to engage with historians and naturalists to discover how this idyllic 19th century island estate built by millionaire J. Kennedy Tod on the original 1640 Greenwich founders' Elizabeth's Neck, evolved into a beloved recreational facility.
Participants will learn bout Tod's original beachfront golf course, the historic "Chimes" and other remaining buildings, how the eagle statue came to stand guard over the estate's pond and much more. The group will also hear stories and see photographs from the Historical Society Archives taken at different times in the park's history.
The tour is open to bike-riding singles, families and children over seven years old who are able to ride a bike. Kids will enjoy their very own scavenger hunt as part of the tour. Experience the Sound is co-sponsored by the Greenwich Shellfish Commission and To The Point, whose aim is to expand the community's awareness of coastal marine life, nature, outdoor recreational pursuits and the environment by showcasing local organizations and educational institutions that care for and promote them.
To participate, on June 23 at 2 p.m., gather at the Innis Arden Cottage, Greenwich Point. It is suggested that participants bring bikes and wear helmets; water bottles are also recommended. Please note that participation is free but a valid park pass is required. For more information visit www.greenwichhistory.org and to reserve your space call 203-869-6899, Ext. 10.

How're you doing out there?]] It sure is nice to be the Breaking The Fourth Wall page on TVTropes. Sure, I don't get as much attention as some of the other pages, but I try my hardest.Anyway, the FourthWall is the fact that in any work of fiction the characters are unaware of the fact that they're fictional characters in a work, the audience observing them, and whatever medium conventions occur in between the two.Breaking the fourth wall is when a character acknowledges their fictionality, by either indirectly or directly addressing the audience. Alternatively, they may interact with their creator (the author of the book, the director of the movie, the artist of the comic book, etc.). This is more akin to breaking one of the walls of the set, but the existence of a director implies the existence of an audience, so it's still indirectly Breaking The Fourth Wall. This trope is usually used for comedic purposes.It should be noted that other sources will refer to any fiction that draws attention to its fictionality as "Breaking The Fourth Wall". Our definition is a bit narrower: Breaking The Fourth Wall only occurs if the characters acknowledge the audience or the author, whether directly or indirectly, got it? It's not enough that I recognize my status as a wiki page, it's the fact that I'm commenting to you about it!Although Breaking the Fourth Wall are mostly PlayedForLaughs nowadays, serious fourth wall breaking is not unheard of. Such if the person is suffering from insanity or goes under some kind of existential crisis.Named for the theatrical convention of building sets with [[ThreeWallSet right, left and back walls]], while the audience observes the action through an imaginary "fourth"[[note]]or sometimes "third", depending on if or how the designers chose to number their walls[[/note]] wall located at the front of the stage. Breaking the fourth wall would occur when the actors would step through where the virtual fourth wall should be and address the audience directly.[[OlderThanFeudalism This is a very old trope]]: Creator/WilliamShakespeare's characters often addressed the audience. They broke it regularly in [[AncientGreece Ancient Greek]] theater, too, pretty much as soon as they'd ''invented'' the FourthWall - or, arguably, ''[[UnbuiltTrope before]]'' inventing the FourthWall.When a series breaks the fourth wall on such a regular basis that there may as well not be one in the first place, then you've gone straight into NoFourthWall.Can be expressed using MediumAwareness. When done literally, it's CameraAbuse. See also: {{Narrator}} (this trope is their job), PostModernism (loves this trope), AsideGlance and AsideComment (particular kinds of this), AnimatedActors (an animation-specific subtrope), and WhoWouldWantToWatchUs (characters lampooning the premise). HeKnowsAboutTimedHits often involves breaking a videogame's fourth wall through necessity. For a detailed discussion of the line between this and NoFourthWall, see SlidingScaleOfFourthWallHardness. If the creator of a work, the audience, or you, personally, interact with characters in a way that isn't AudienceParticipation, it may well be FromBeyondTheFourthWall.Often used for LampshadeHanging. But if a character lampshades without addressing or acknowledging the audience, it's ''just'' LampshadeHanging. Similarly the fourth wall can be broken with no lampshades in sight.If somebody is not in the break and doesn't understand who the ones breaking the wall are talking to, see AudienceWhatAudience.If it's made ambiguous whether or not the fourth wall is being broken, it's LeaningOnTheFourthWall. If something slams into the screen and literally ''breaks'' it, it's CameraAbuse or InterfaceScrew. If the characters are attempting to use, or implied to have used, the fourth wall to escape into the real world, it's TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou.Anyway, thanks for your time... on to a couple examples, in which I shall kindly stop smashing your computer screen with a hammer:[[noreallife]]----!Examples:[[index]]* BreakingTheFourthWall/{{Advertising}}* BreakingTheFourthWall/AnimeAndManga* BreakingTheFourthWall/ComicBooks* BreakingTheFourthWall/ComicStrips* BreakingTheFourthWall/FanWorks* [[BreakingTheFourthWall/LiveActionFilms Films – Live-Action]]* BreakingTheFourthWall/{{Literature}}* BreakingTheFourthWall/LiveActionTV* BreakingTheFourthWall/{{Music}}* BreakingTheFourthWall/{{Theatre}}* BreakingTheFourthWall/VideoGames* BreakingTheFourthWall/WebComics* BreakingTheFourthWall/WebOriginal* BreakingTheFourthWall/WesternAnimation[[/index]]!!Other examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Audio Plays]]* Creator/TheFiresignTheatre used this occasionally on their albums, often either combined with MediumAwareness, or within a ShowWithinAShow, which would interact with the main characters.* ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAdventures'' do this OnceAnEpisode, during the ending credits.

It's time to get rid o' the trash, the garbage, the worthless piece of crap out here, and we started with Dixie Carter. Yeah, we're gettin' ''very'' real around here. We are so, real, it's unbelievable. Because, if you don't get over like I said, you're fired. If you don't draw number, if you don't entertain, if you don't put asses in seats, if you don't put the coinage in the piggy bank, you're fired. No more games. No more, "[[FourthWall Kayfabe]]." "It's a work." "[[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys I've won 34 tag team belts]]." Who gives a damn how many fake belts you won!? If you don't draw money, you get fired around here. If you don't put asses in seats, you are gone."* ProfessionalWrestling as a whole exists in a weird space where there is no fourth wall...but there is. The universe portrayed in the ring is considered "real", for all intents and purposes. The people who enter the ropes, be they the living undead, obliviously narcissistic, or rich beyond belief; that's who they ''actually'' are. The audience has to believe that they exist both on and off the clock just as you see them. Likewise, they are constantly aware they are on television and performing before a live audience, so the concept of a fourth wall in the traditional sense is not there. The ''actual'' fourth wall is {{Kayfabe}}, which is something you generally do ''not'' want to break (as the notion is almost critical to the concept of pro wrestling making sense at all; even admitting its existence, like the above, is a surefire way to throw WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief out the window and even the audience knows it).** Wrestling/CMPunk, through his scathing shoot promo, has created an on-screen character for himself where he can fly between the fourth wall and reality.*** In that initial promo, he even explicitly mentions that he's breaking the fourth wall.* Wrestling/TheRock does this a lot. For example, in reference to the brief Wrestling/JohnCena / Wrestling/ZackRyder / Wrestling/EveTorres love triangle in early 2012, Rock pointed out that Cena is married in real life.[[/folder]][[folder:Puppet Shows]]* The Cashore Marionettes do this occasionally; one of the most significant instances is the skit "The Quest", in which a puppet scales his own puppeteer like a mountain, accompanied by triumphant music.* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'':** In the first broadcast episode, Kermit the Frog (a puppet) is shown sipping milk from a glass with a straw; he takes a moment to say to the audience, "Think about this, friends."** Also, comes up in one of JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf's [[TheStinger closing comments to an episode]]:--->'''Waldorf:''' How do they do it?\\'''Statler:''' How do we ''watch'' it?\\'''Waldorf:''' ''Why'' do we watch it?\\'''Statler:''' ''[looking at the camera]'' Why do '''''you''''' watch it?[[/folder]][[folder:Radio]]* "John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme" uses this fairly regularly, especially in the latest episodes.** Possibly the most explicit example is in Season 5, Episode 4, where one of the sketches is actor Simon Kane getting increasingly annoyed at actor and writer John Finnemore about the fact that he always plays the discontented characters. During the sketch, he frequently points out that John Finnemore has written all of this, and it isn't even his opinions.** Series 2, episode 4: Margaret Cabourn-Smith gets grumpy about the fact that her only role in the last sketch is as an owl[[/folder]][[folder:Tabletop Games]]* ''TabletopGame/TwilightSparklesSecretShipficFolder'' has Cheerilee, who knows she's in a shipping card game and wants no part of it.* In the ''TabletopGame/MyLittlePonyCollectibleCardGame'', the backs of the 2013 demo cards have Derpy Hooves saying "This is a demo, right?" [[/folder]][[folder:Theme Parks]]* In the former ''Ride/JimmyNeutronsNicktoonBlast'' ride, there was a scene where [=SpongeBob=] is flung through Bikini Bottom, saying hello to everyone along the way. When greeting the regular Bikini Bottom citizens, he refers to them as "secondary characters".* In the Revenge of the Mummy Ride, towards the end ride it appears to have ended, with a worker behind glass saying the ride is over. This worker is then killed by the Mummy and the ride continues. When the ride ends, you see a recording of one of the makers of the ride, wishing you a good day. He is then also killed by the Mummy.[[/folder]][[folder:Visual Novels]]* Subverted at the end of ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'': We see Phoenix talking to what sounds like the player. [[spoiler: He's actually talking to the members of a jury]].** However, at the very end of ''Justice for All'', they come very close to doing it--Pearl observes, "This is the first time I get to hear the real you!" The in-game reason is that she's not actually heard him yell "[[CatchPhrase OBJECTION!]]" during a case, but you're encouraged to yell it into your DS microphone, as it's voice activated (You can still just press "A".)** In ''Justice For All'', examining the patient on crutches in the Hotti Clinic during case 4 prompts "Director Hotti" into talking about how the patient seems to have not even moved since when you were there last. He also states how the man seems to be standing in the same postion all the time referencing the static backgrounds used in the games.* In ''VisualNovel/AkatsukiNoGoei'' the maid Tsuki tells Kaito that he's Tae's boyfriend, bodyguard, teacher and more and he gets irritated at the long string of uninterrupted kanji. So she replies by saying the same thing, except this time it's all in hiragana, meaning it's nothing more than a long, incomprehensible string of syllables. That's why kanji exist in the first place.* In ''VisualNovel/AsagaoAcademyNormalBootsClub'' Mai does this frequently throughout the story with other occasional examples from some of the boys.* In ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'' hen Monokuma starts expositing on the backstories of the culprit and victim in Chapter 2, he says to hold O (or Ctrl in the PC version) to skip it in case you didn't want to hear all this.* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'' is [[MediumAwareness pretty aware that it's a dating sim]], and a silly one at that. However, the standout moment is the introduction to the sequel ''Holiday Star'', in which Ryouta directly addresses the audience to explain that it takes place on a separate timeline from the original game to [[CuttingOffTheBranches prevent continuity errors]].[[/folder]][[folder:Web Animation]]* ''[[http://youtu.be/Ff2QRD3nIXo Brawl of the Objects]]'':** In the ColdOpening to episode 5, Boat is attempting to speak French with Baguette using the dictionary he purchased in a previous episode. Once Boat asked Baguette to repeat what he had just said, Baguette asked Boat if he couldn't see the subtitles. At which point the subtitles ''themselves'' address Boat. After witnessing Baguette getting hugged by the subtitles, Boat proceeds to break a wall labelled 4.** Becomes a BrickJoke in TheStinger. When Boom Box mentions how some of the characters there (him, Party Hat and Shieldy) were recommended characters and Party Hat agrees (while looking at the screen to boot), Boat once again breaks the same wall.* In an episode of ''WebAnimation/DaAmazinOTAdvenchr'', Deine called the show itself crap when it started "evolving".* LetsPlay/TacoMan frequently references his cartoon state.* ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'':** In episode 6, Team RWBY is shocked when [[spoiler:Pyrrha, [[SparedByTheAdaptation who was killed off in the main series but is alive here]], shows up with the rest of Team JNPR]]. When Ruby goes to mention it, Nora cuts her off with a rant.--->'''Nora:''' Nope! Never happened! Everything's FINE! [[spoiler:Pyrrha]]. Is. FINE! And nothing bad. Ever. Happened. ''(Turns to face the viewer.)'' '''''EVERRRR...'''''** Episode 23 goes completely and utterly nuts with this trope as Nora downs an entire pot of coffee and ends up travelling through various dimensions she ends up in ''the real world''. She's brought back to "relative" normal when her voice actress drinks coffee.* ''WebAnimation/EVTVWeather'' has a few occasional 4th wall breaks. Along with the character of Maggot Man, who serves as a pseudo-narrator.* ''WebAnimation/DaAmazinOTAdvenchr'' does this occasionally.** In sooper appisote 3, the ''entire series' font'' gets changed midway through the sooper appisote, due to someone pressing a button that said "CHANGE FONT".** And in A.18, Liteslayer and Deine indirectly break the fourth wall by acknowledging the live "evolution" happening to them. It starts by a text-to-speech-translator, getting colored, then spelling properly, then so on and so forth until [[spoiler:Lite kills himself to stop any more "evolution" from happening]].* The fourth wall is broken continuously in the ''WebAnimation/AlfredsPlayhouse'' series. Alfred address the audience as "boys and girls" and in the movie, Dictator Pickles personally introduces Alfred to the audience.* The eponymous Emperor of ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' breaks the wall oftentimes, from lamenting that he can't make any more [[LampshadeHanging fourth-wall-breaking jokes]] anymore to commenting on the new opening the series gets in episode 12.* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' does this, particularly in the "Virus" Strong Bad e-mail where the format of the web page gets tampered with. Also, "My mouth was a broken JPEG!" Happens literally in some of the iTunes openings, where Strong Bad will either press his face against the screen, leaving a print, or literally try to break your screen!* At one point in a ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' interactive minigame, a character is killed when they're ''crushed against'' the fourth wall.* In ''WebAnimation/GEOWeasel'', the fourth wall is broken enough that Mitri complains about Nar breaking the fourth wall, and Nar retorts that pointing it out would also be, as he says, self-referencing.[[/folder]]----

My own life has become a mirror for me where I clearly saw the picture of discrimination between female and male. The sad story begins just after my sisters' birth. After few days of pregnancy, my mother was forced to do a heavy work and treated badly by her mother in law. Her fault was just she gave birth to a girl child for the second time. I could clearly see my mom pain in her face but at that time I was too small to help her .So, I couldn't do anything for her. My mom tolerated every pain given by her mother in law without any objection. My grandmamma even forced my dad for second marriage to have a boy baby. But my father refused and decided to leave my grandmamma home but my mom didn't agree to leave home as she was afraid of her community and its culture. After my father avoids, my grandmother left my home and went to her next son. This is the sad story of mine and many others homes in my country. Besides, the story of discriminations between male and female there are many others problem faced by women, girls in my community like dowry system, girls trafficking and child abuse. Dowry system has become one of the greatest problems of my country. Every year many women in my country lose their life due to dowry system. They are given touchier by their husband family or even murdered if they are unable to bring a dowry. Another greatest problem is girls trafficking, every year many Nepalese girls are sold and forced for prostitution. To overcome this problem in my community I and my community women have established a group discussion committee. Every weekend I and my committee organize a group discussion about the problem related to dowry system, girl's trafficking and finds its solution. We declared our community as "dowry and discrimination system prohibited zone". Those people who are found forcing for dowry and creating discrimination between male and female are given punishment. We also formed a saving group named Nari Bachat Sastha (women saving organization) where woman of my community deposits RS 5 every week. We give the collected money as a loan with low interest to community women who are in need. My community has changed a lot after this program but my vision is to see my country, world to be free from these kinds of problem. Before I came to Bangladesh for my graduate school, I got opportunity to learn about another greatest problem of my country, the problems are related to street child. On June 4 2010, I was fortunately selected to work as an intern in an INGO named CCS Italy that works in Nepal. I worked in that INGO for two weeks .I was send to a place named Chitwan, for survey about the street children lives. The program main aim was to find out the education status of street children but when I did the survey, I found another biggest problem. The situation of female child living in street was too worst. Most of the street children (girls) were abused .As the program was based for education I couldn't do a single work for those girls in the street. I have a fresh memory of those Children who were abused, I felt guilty every time when I remember them as I couldn't help them. The INGO which I have worked was based for education of children, so nobody was there to support me to help those girls. That time I realized I alone can only start the journey but need someone to give me a company. For me, the Voice of Our Correspondent can be the greatest company to reach my aim and goal. The aim to be a social worker and the goal to change my community, country and the world, to make it free from the problems of discrimination, downy, girl trafficking and child abuse. Though it may be me or someone else to be the winner but the platform and support provided by Voice of Our Correspondent will be the greatest for those who really dreamt to change the world.0Send Me Love

Cheats and Walkthroughs(210)
Cheats and Walkthroughs(216)
The new version of Mortal Kombat will feature the bloody, brutal fatalities and fast-paced action fans of the genre know and love, but it's not old news by any stretch. The game will also feature the 300-level Challenge Tower, a new mode that puts a crapload of mini-games at your disposal. Here's how video game preview-writing legend Stephen Johnson describes it:
"Challenge Tower is the just-announced single-player mode for Mortal Kombat 2011 that places you at the center of 300 fast-paced challenges, essentially mini-games for MK. You travel up the pyramid, passing tougher and tougher tests until you eventually obtain total Kombat victory -- Winning! The GDC build of the game featured the first 20 challenges, which include relatively easy tasks like defeating an opponent with only kicks (because your arms have been torn off), but hint at the more dangerous challenges further up the deadly triangle, like defending yourself against a horde of murderous zombies."

Key Features
- Thoroughly revised and expanded by over 20% with over 12,000 entries in cellular and molecular biology
- Includes expanded coverage of terms, including plant molecular biology, microbiology and biotechnology areas
- Consistently provides the most complete short definitions of technical terminology for anyone working in life sciences today
- Features extensive cross-references
- Provides multiple definitions, notes on word origins, and other useful features
The Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology, Fifth Edition, provides definitions for thousands of terms used in the study of cell and molecular biology. The headword count has been expanded to 12,000 from 10,000 in the Fourth Edition. Over 4,000 headwords have been rewritten. Some headwords have second, third, and even sixth definitions, while fewer than half are unchanged. Many of the additions were made to extend the scope in plant cell biology, microbiology, and bioinformatics. Several entries related to specific pharmaceutical compounds have been removed, while some generic entries ("alpha blockers," "NSAIDs," and "tetracycline antibiotics," for example), and some that are frequently part of the experimentalist's toolkit and probably never used in the clinic, have been retained. The Appendix includes prefixes for SI units, the Greek alphabet, useful constants, and single-letter codes for amino acids.
Librarians in academic, corporate and government libraries covering biological sciences, undergraduates, graduates, postdocs, and researchers across cellular biology, molecular biology and biosciences.

1. Prince Fielder
He was surprisingly terrible this season in a smaller ballpark with a pretty competent lineup around him. Then he broke.
Taken an average of 13th overall, owners are allowed to buy a bug zapper and take batting practice down at the local mosquito ridden pond.
2. Domonic Brown
He hit 12 HR in May of last season without ever drawing a walk. What did you expect?
3. The 2014 World Cup
I dozed in and out of the first game and holy crap I totally understand why the United States doesn't care about this game. The only reason the U.S. doesn't dominate soccer (don't call it football, that term is reserved for a real sport) is because our best athletes are busy playing sports that aren't totally boring. You think Dwight Howard might make a pretty decent goalie? Maybe Mike Trout in the midfield?
4. Joe Mauer
The decline is in full swing. Mauer's still a decent player with a good OBP, but if he isn't hitting above .300 he doesn't belong in the top 100. Maybe teams should stop giving mega contracts to players. From Mauer to Albert Pujols Pujols to Robinson Cano to A-Rod to CC Sabathia to Prince Fielder to Matt Kemp to Justin Verlander to Carl Crawford, IT ISN'T A GOOD IDEA!
5. Foul Paul!
I have yet to make millions from this. Maybe Rob's nephew can do better.
Feel free to leave hate in the comments section, it makes me feel like a WWE villain, which I very much enjoy.
6. Jean Segura
The 2013 post All-Star Break version is back. Yep, he had a .583 OPS in the second half last year.
7. Google +
Is it dead yet? Does anyone even know what a circle is?
Let me ask dumb questions into your search engine and maintain my junk email accounts. That's your job, Google.
8. Matt Moore
What looked like such a promising career is now suddenly in question, but not just because of injury. His velocity was down and his control actually got worse. Two years ago I would have bet he'd be in the thick of the Cy Young conversation. Nobody is a sure thing in this game.
9. Billy Butler
Kansas City is all about doubles this season. Both Butler and Eric Hosmer have turned themselves into doubles machines, which is terrible news for pretty much everyone involved. But hey, if you decide to actually watch a Royals game and step foot in Kansas City you deserve to be punished anyway.
The Seattle Seahawks and the Royals are both LOB, all right. The Seahawks are the Legion of Boom and the Royals are Left on Base.
10. Jedd Gyorko
It's really sad to know that the last elite Padres hitter was Adrian Gonzalez. Since 2005, only three players have had 95 RBI in a season. A-Gon, Chase Headley, and Khalil Greene.
This can't be a fluke, that park is just really tough to hit in. I don't want any part of a Padres power hitter.
11. Shin-Soo Choo
The Rangers are cursed. Something spooky is going on here. I blame global warming.
12. Dr. James Andrews' Timeshare
It doesn't look like he's going to get much time out of his office. The salesman will get you every time…
13. Allen Craig
It's only going to get worse when he inevitably gets hurt. Matt Adams is better and will start stealing playing time when he comes back.
Be sure to read next weeks Foul Paul! or else I'll follow you around the parking lot

(Courtesy of Texas Jewish Post – Laura Seymour) Judaism is a historical religion — that means that our history defines our holidays, celebrations and even our worldview.

Obama Phone Costs Spiraling Out of Control
RUSH: From Fox News, Jim Angle: "Lawmakers Warn Cost of Federal Free Phone Program Spinning Out of Control." Does anybody believe they're actually gonna do away with the Obama phone program?
Fisker Admits They Haven't Made a Single Car in America
RUSH: Fisker, the electric car outfit, you know how that was praised? My buddies, these tech bloggers, they just think Fisker and whatever the other big electronic luxury car maker, Tesla, oh, yeah, I mean, their excrement doesn't smell. They're just the coolest, they're just the neatest, wow, zowie, cool, man, coolio.
A Fisker executive admits they haven't made a single car. Despite nearly $200 million in taxpayer loans, not one car has been made in America, not one electric car to save the planet, has been made in America by Fisker, despite $200 million in loans. Now, if you were able to get $200 million in loans, do you think you would build something? Solyndra? Yeah, you might feel bad if you didn't. Not one car, folks.
Gillibrand Blames FAA Cutbacks on Corporate Jets
RUSH: Kirsten Gillibrand, the senator from New York, is laying the blame for long flight delays and furloughed air traffic controllers at the feet of corporate jets. There's legislation, she wants to close a tax loophole for corporate jets and use that money to reinstate air traffic controllers nationwide. Because corporate jets do not pay the same tax as the airlines, it's not fair, it's an unfair burden and we gotta get that tax rate up, then we can hire back the air traffic controllers. See, we just need more tax increases, fix everything.
Boston Terrorists Used Toy Car Remote to Detonate Bombs
RUSH: The thinking now, by the way, is the Boston bombs were set off by using a toy car remote. That's what they think the guys used. Can you imagine the relief when the regime found out that Obama phones were not used? Turned out that they were toy car remotes.

Where to Go for an ADHD Diagnosis
Where to Go for an ADHD Diagnosis
To get an ADHD diagnosis, you may start with a routine visit to your primary-care physician, but, chances are, you won't end it there. As a rule, most general practitioners are not equipped to make the call. One reason is time. It can take several hours of talking, test taking, and analysis of the results to diagnose someone with ADHD. Most general practitioners can't give you or your child that much attention in a busy practice.
General practitioners sometimes overlook coexisting problems, such as learning disabilities, underlying medical conditions, depression, anxiety disorder, or substance abuse. Professionals trained in diagnosing ADHD routinely screen for these problems.
How can you find an ADD expert in your area? Five possible approaches should lead to the right help and diagnosis, and a treatment plan that will best manage symptoms:
Ask a school psychologist or guidance counselor for a referral for your child. If you'd prefer to see an outside expert before getting the school involved, move to the next step.
Talk with your internist or your child's pediatrician. Start the conversation this way: "I've noticed these symptoms in myself (or my child), and I'd like an evaluation. Do you know of someone who specializes in diagnosing ADD?" If the doctor says that he can do it, ask about the tests he uses and how long he typically spends making the diagnosis. If the only basis for a diagnosis is a quick interview with you and/or your child, ask for a referral to a specialist.
Contact a medical school near your home. "Call the department of psychiatry and ask, 'Is there anyone on your staff experienced at working with adults or children with ADD?'" suggests Edward Hallowell, M.D., a psychiatrist with offices in New York City and Boston, and coauthor of Superparenting for ADD (Ballantine). "When you get the name of a professional, ask him how many people he has treated. It should be at least a hundred."
Check with your insurer. Ask if there are experts trained in diagnosing ADD covered by your plan. If not, consider going out of network. Remember that your goal, initially, is to get a thorough, accurate diagnosis. When you have that information, the diagnosing doctor can work with your plan physician to prescribe treatment.
Call your local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness or CHADD, and ask for names of professionals who specialize in ADHD. Another good option: an ADHD support group in your area. Word-of-mouth recommendations are often the best assessment of a professional's ability.

A veteran Chicago police officer was shot twice early Monday during an attempted robbery while he was off duty and about to remove his young child from his car outside his Southwest Side home, authorities said.
The officer, 34, sustained gunshot wounds to the chest and wrist, but his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said. The officer's wrist was broken, but the bullet that struck his chest inflicted only superficial damage, he said.
