National Take a Stand Day--to remember the human cost of the war and urge our members of Congress to stand up in September and end this endless war
On Tuesday, August 28, 1000s of members of MoveOn.org Political Action throughout the Bay Area will hold candlelight vigils as witnesses against the war to call on Congress to vote to end the war in September.
Along with over 600 vigils across the nation being held to demand an end to the Iraq War Now residents of the Bay Area are participating in a peaceful vigil. The vigils are calling on Congress as it returns in September to end a war that has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of US troops. In $$$ terms the war has cost $54.55 billion.
"Seventy percent of the US populace are against this war. It is time for the Bush Administration to stop looking through rose-colored glasses and realize that the surge has been a total failure." said local MoveOn member Alice Smith. "All our Bay Area Representatives must Stand Up in September and vote to end this religious civil war that cannot be won," concluded Smith.
Participants in the vigils will read from a "War Toll Calendar" to honor and remember the soldiers and civilians that have died or been grievously injured in the past year.
Vigils like these are part of national Take A Stand Day - a coordinated day of action to end the war initiated by the Americans Against Escalation in Iraq coalition, including MoveOn.org, Political Action, VoteVets.org, the Service Employees International Union, True Majority and others.

This demostration should take place in a district with hard-core Republican representatives. Around here, there are no representatives and very few people to convert.
I would rather spend my time and energy on something that has practical effect and not something that just makes me feel good and superior to people who have opposing views.

How about a "Think twice before we let Al Quaida win" rally. Just an idea. I do appreciae the idea of remember the toll of this war, however. Lets not let those deaths be in vain.

Chris you are spot on these demonstrations are nation wide and Repulican representatives are a special focus. There are more than 600 vigils tomorrow and the message is to tell congress to end this war.
GMC - Let's go after Al Queda not the Iraqi people and their nation. Read Barbara Boxer's support for these vigils:

Subject: Take A Stand On Iraq
Help us end the occupation in Iraq.
Got to www.MoveOn.org to find a "Take a Stand Day" event near you on Tuesday!
Did you hear President Bush last week talking about Iraq? Instead of
listening to the vast majority of the American people on Iraq,
President Bush is talking about how wrong it was to leave Vietnam.
Well, just a reminder to this President: U.S. troops stayed in
Vietnam, in the middle of a civil war, for more than ten long and
painful years. More than 50,000 of our young people died, countless
wounded mentally and physically. Suicides and homelessness still
follow too many of our Vietnam veterans. How many more would have died
if George W. Bush had been President in the 1970's? How many more of
our troops and innocent Iraqis will die if we don't finally end this
For the past ten weeks, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq (AAEI) --
a broad coalition of organizations working to end the war -- have been
ratcheting up the pressure on those who keep voting to keep the war
Tomorrow, August 28, AAEI's "Iraq Summer" program culminates in one
nationwide day of action: Take A Stand Day. In coordination with
coalition partner MoveOn.org, they're hosting Town Halls on Iraq and
Stand Up Vigils across the country to send a clear message to all of
my colleagues in Congress and to the President: It is time to bring a
responsible end to the war.
Can you attend the Take A Stand Town Hall or Stand Up Vigil in your
community on Tuesday and make sure Congress and President Bush know
that it is time to end this reckless war?

In September, the White House will release its Iraq report on the
troop escalation and General Petraeus will testify before the Senate.
Our courageous men and women in uniform are doing everything they can
in Iraq, and they have performed superbly -- but they cannot win this
war militarily. Without a change in our political and diplomatic
strategy in the region -- and that is President Bush's responsibility
-- there will be no real progress in Iraq.
I am asking you to join thousands of Americans tomorrow, to say loud
and clear: George W. Bush's strategy in Iraq has failed. We must end
this occupation in Iraq. It is time to redeploy our troops out of the
quagmire in Iraq.

Us leaving will not end the war...just increase the overall death rate of innocents in Iraq when the Sunni and Shia extremists battle for control of the country. The increased bloodshed will be on the "end the war" activists' hands.
But, I guess that is what the "end the war" people want.
Agree wholeheartedly...don't forget the killed and wounded US soldiers who have volunteered to support the Iraqi people who want democracy, which in the end is good for us!!

MoveOn.org is an anti-American organization. It's not President Bush's strategy that failed...it's Congress that has approved and allowed the war to continue. Why are you giving Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Democrats in Congress a pass? It's time for a reality check. Congress is controlled by the Democrats and they have condoned this war by continuing to fund it. I don't see any end to that funding either. Therefore, I don't see any end to this war. A President cannot make this decision alone....he or she needs the support of Congress to continue. George Bush has that support from this Congress which is controlled by the Democrats. Complain to them...they have the ability to end it now if they wanted to. I know it's hard to hear, but they don't want to end it.

Regardless of whether we should have gone into Iraq in the first place (a very legitimate discussion), we are fighting Al Quaida there now, and if we leave - they win. The US and Iraqi civilian death toll is staggering. Who is car bombing the marketplaces? Al Quaida! The US hasn't been fighting Iraq since 2003. We've been fighting IN Iraq.
Pleae have a rally - speak your mind and feel good about it whatever your viewpoint.

Palo Alto had a ballot proposition essentially withdrawing support from the Vietnam war effort. It passed, and I believe General Diap mntioned it in his memoirs an part of the encouragement to keep fighting after he had been militarily defeated.

Wow,,,I didn't know that Walter..so, Palo Alto has ALWAYS been this way?
I hope that this time around more people remember the consequences of quitting before we are done. The blood of a couple million massacred south Vietnamese and Cambodians is on the hands of those who propogandized us out of Viet Nam..I hope they don't want millions of Iraqi lives on their hands as well.

A Kenyan lioness which perplexed wildlife experts last month by adopting a newborn Beisa oryx at Samburu National Park astonished them again on Valentine's Day by taking on another. When the lioness adopted her first calf last month, animal behaviorists said she had probably mistaken it for a lion cub. But on Friday she showed full awareness of the calf's species, allowing its real mother to feed it before chasing her away.
On January 17th, Mount Nyiragongo, just north of Lake Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) erupted. The Nyiragongo volcano is one of eight in DRC along the border with Rwanda. This is also home to the critically endangered mountain gorillas and their dense tropical forest habitat, who range among the six "dormant" volcanoes in DRC's Virunga National Park.
Five days after Mount Nyiragongo erupted, and despite the risks posed by the lava and earth tremors, many of the thousands of people who had fled the city of Goma are returning.
The Nyiragongo volcano, just north of Lake Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is erupting. The volcano is spewing a steady flow of lava, over a mile wide, into Rwanda, and has devastated the eastern town of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which lies directly at the foot of the exploding volcano. Some 50 people are reported to be dead and some 300,000 people have fled into the neighboring town of Gisenyi in Rwanda.
The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and Earthwatch Institute (EWI) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), documenting their intent to work collaboratively on the conservation of natural resources and landscapes in Africa. This collaboration will be in direct support of AWF's African Heartlands program. AWF Heartlands are large African landscapes of exceptional wildlife and natural value extending across state, private and community lands.

The Destination
As you drive down Broadway into downtown Nashville, Tennessee, you can already hear the country music playing—on the radio, in the shops and saloons on both sides of the street, and in your vacation daydreams. That's because even visitors can't help feeling like country crooners in the undisputed capital of banjos and ballads with a twang. And if the music gives you the urge to ride off into the sunset, you're in luck: Follow the Cumberland River to beautiful countryside just beyond Nashville's city limits.
The Digs
Set up camp at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort to experience Nashville like a real cowboy—singing songs with friends and family around the campfire and sleeping under a star-filled sky. The options at Jellystone Park aren't all rustic, however: Deluxe cabin accommodations include private bathrooms, kitchens, and screened-in porches, while on-site amenities include an outdoor pool, a miniature golf course, and an ice cream shoppe. And the camp's convenient location in Nashville puts you near the Grand Ole Opry and Opry Mills mall, not to mention a short drive from the lights and music of downtown.
"Awesome campground for families, especially if you have children or grandchildren. My kids are 28 and 25 and I have six grandkids. They all love coming to Jellystone!"-- TripAdvisor

UTSA First-Year Faculty: Assistant Professor Scott Sherer
By Lydia Fletcher
Special Projects Writer, UTSA '07
(July 25, 2007)--Scott Sherer, UTSA assistant professor of art and art history and director of the art gallery and Satellite Space, joined the UTSA faculty in the Fall 2006 semester.

- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

Article tools
LF: How did you come to UTSA? Where did you come from?
SS: I was at Kent State University in Ohio, and San Antonio is my hometown. So, I thought the job sounded interesting -- it's a mixture of the opportunity of being a gallery director and art history professor, and so I get to be involved with educational programming.
What I like about the gallery is that it gives students the opportunity and community members a different venue for understanding the creative research that is happening in the art world, plus the creative research that happens at UTSA.
LF: What courses do you teach?
SS: I teach modern and contemporary art history with an emphasis on critical theory. The critical theory is thinking about the contemporary or the modern context in the 20th and the 21st centuries -- how we're influenced by the technology. Critical theory helps us think about how we live and about our cultural formations, and also personal subjectivities tell us how our personal identities develop. So, critical theory has been important in 20th century art. It's understanding what is psychoanalytic theory and why it is useful for understanding art.
What is Marxist critique? We live with these ideas. What is gender critique or thinking about race or ethnicity -- as a way of understanding our world -- that's at the forefront of art. And, so rather than taking a biographical historical approach or a geographical approach, one of the approaches I take is thinking about how these different kinds of frameworks and discourses influence what we make, or what we reflect upon or what we experience and what the conversations are in those areas.
LF: How are you enjoying being at UTSA?
SS: It's been a lot of work. I'm really doing two jobs at once. The students are really good, and I really like my colleagues, and I think the art scene in San Antonio is really very, very vibrant -- lots of galleries and museums, and there's a strong and growing community -- and I think some of the students at the undergraduate and graduate level are very active and very engaged.
I'm pretty impressed with who I'm working with. The university is going through some changes, and that's put an amount of pressure on faculty because there are so many committees to do and programming to do.
LF: Are you pleased about being at UTSA?
SS: I am excited to be part of that. I'm looking toward the future with wonder and excitement, wondering what's going to be next. That's something I'm looking forward to.
LF: Do you have a favorite artist or piece of art?
SS: I don't have a particular favorite artist. I must say that I like art that causes me to think about something, that either aesthetically or relative to art history or criticism that makes me ask questions. There are artists that I consistently refer back to or interest me, but I'm mostly interested in art that causes me to be bothered in some way. And it's not in a negative way, but in a way that I'm wondering about a range of things -- and what the artist was thinking, and what I'm thinking and what others might think when they look at the art.
I'm interested in how things produce other kinds of meaning. The way objects work as art is when they provide an opportunity for thought, or an opportunity to think about a cultural problem. And it becomes a moment when we can actually sit down and engage. I'm interested in art that captures my attention and makes me want to ask questions about what is happening here.

USA Hockey confirms All-American Prospects Game for Pittsburgh
By Allan Muir
The 2013 NHL Entry Draft is still five months away, but the stage already is being set for a bumper crop of American talent in 2014.
USA Hockey announced today that the All-American Prospects Game would be held at Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center on Sept. 26.
The game will showcase 40 of the top American-born players who are eligible for the 2014 NHL Draft, drawn from the U.S. National Team Development Program, the CHL, USHL, NCAA and U.S. high schools.
The inaugural edition of the event was held last September in Buffalo and featured players such as Seth Jones and Ryan Hartman, both members of the 2013 World Junior Champions and certain first-round picks this June.
"The All-American Prospect Game is the celebration of the American player," USA Hockey assistant executive director Jim Johansson told reporters at a press conference announcing the event. "What we will bring to Pittsburgh are our best players. I think for players aspiring to get to the NHL...this gives them hope that one day they could play in a building like this." Rosters for the game will be announced in August by USA Hockey, with input from Central Scouting. Some of the names to watch for in a buzzy American class include forwards Blake Clarke (Brampton Battalion), Sonny Milano (USA NTDP), Nick Schmaltz (Green Bay Gamblers) and Keegan Iverson (Portland Winterhawks), defenders Anthony Deangelo (Sarnia Sting), Jack Glover (USA NTDP) and Ryan MacInnis (USA NTDP), and highly touted netminder Thatcher Demko (USA NTDP).

This individual shall have a vision for Hope College and its graduates, and the ability to elicit change by exciting others.
The search committee will begin its work immediately.

He's gonna play every game he can, but I know the Giants are being cautious with him because we'll need him more down the stretch.
he should play this week
We should play it safe and rest him some more
He's gonna play every game he can, but I know the Giants are being cautious with him because we'll need him more down the stretch.
Yes, he should play. Assuming he is not in danger of worsening the situation. We need him bad this week. He can rest against a pitiful Washington secondary next week if he must. Their secondary is so awful, even Jernigan can torch them. But this week? We need him.
If he thinks he can play and the coaches think he's ready then let him play.
haha, no let's rest him vs. the 49ers ... wow this board never ceases to amaze me
Apologize to Melo 5
imo, from everything i've been reading up on nicks, he'll be ready for the 9ers game and he should be pretty close to 100%...
i respect the opinion of resting him til the bye week if he has the chance of a setback but disagree with it. iirc, our bye week is week 11? playoffs could very well be out of reach by then although, our WR core has still been sick despite the injuries...cruz is a legit #1, he's proven it imho these past 4 games. then u got hixon, barden, and randle t figure out the 2 n 3 wr spots...with eli at the helm, i truly believe we're a 10 win team even w/o nicks as long as the other wr's are healthy...but yea nicks is a beast and despite how much i love cruz, nicks is the better wr atm...
I would not at all play him unless he's physically healed and ready. Don't make a mistake and lose him for the year.
I personally would want him for the division game next week but I think this team needs a real statement win. We already lost to Dallas and Philly so if he can play against the so called "best team" in the 49ers then I say let him play. Nicks is our best receiver in bump coverage and I've been seeing the 49ers playing a lot of that this season. They did it against GB but as we know GB wr have a hard time beating bump coverage. If we beat the 9ers this week it will boost this team's moral. We need this game Sunday and we are going have to have some our starters to come back to do it. Oh I also read today that Canty will practice next week and in all likely hood he will play against the skins week7.
I'd love to see the guy play. He will if he's ready. He has too much talent to risk hobbling him for the rest of his career by sending back too soon. We have to leave it to the training staff. But damn we need him.
If he's ready to go he should.

DISH Bonds Among Most Vulnerable As High-Yield Execution Risk Rises
Bonds backing Dish Network (DISH) are among the most vulnerable in the high-yield market amid a broader rise in execution risk, as more companies take advantage of cheap borrowing rates to fund deals and increase leverage.
This according to the latest semi-annual "High Yield Bottom Ten" report from corporate bond research firm Gimme Credit. The report puts Dish in the company of other junk-rated companies including Arch Coal (ACI), Constellation Brands (STZ), Navistar (NAV) and Vanguard Health (VHS) that Gimme Credit calls especially vulnerable to any further near-term slowing of the U.S. economy.
The firm cites DISH's pending $25.5 billion acquisition of Sprint (S) and Constellation's pending purchase of Crown Imports as examples of deals in which bondholders aren't being adequately compensated for the risk that the companies don't integrate well, or for rising post-merger debt burdens, at a time when the broader high-yield market is trading at record-high dollar prices and record low yields.
Vicki Bryan, Gimme Credit senior high-yield analyst, calls the costs of the DISH deal "extremely high" already and says they could rise further if it turns into a bidding contest. "DISH goes from having a war chest of $10 billion to spending that plus another $7 billion, and borrowing $9 billion more," she says, adding that the company's estimates for cost savings through merger synergies appear aggressive and that risk aren't adequately reflected in DISH bond prices.
Dave Novosel, another senior credit analyst at Gimme Credit, says the DISH offer could make strategic sense but isn't as good for Sprint bondholders as a competing bid from Softbank. "It includes a higher debt component and comes from a company that does not have the deep pockets that SoftBank has," Novosel says, adding that Sprint is in the middle of a costly network upgrade.
In an email, DISH offered the following response from Tom Cullen, the company's executive vice president of corporate development: "We believe our plan, based on DISH's strong cash flows, reasonable synergies and clear growth opportunities, sets us on the path for continuous delevering capability. We have a proven track record of excellent balance sheet management and are confident we can achieve this plan while continuing to invest in efficient network buildout."
Among other companies in the Gimme Credit report, Bryan points to Navistar, a maker of trucks and engines, and says its problems stem from a need to completely revamp its core technology to comply with EPA guidelines, saying the company has morphed into "a $14 billion startup trying to reinvent itself on the fly" and trying to do so before it runs out of cash.
Regarding Vanguard, Bryan cites the company's 2011 acquisition of Detroit Medical Systems, saying Vanguard has increased its borrowing and will struggle to grow its way out of its debt burden.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
Development teams work through iterations until the feature set and quality of a product is sufficient for release. Too many organizations, however, define release management as starting from this point. There are two key requirements easily ignored with this approach: release management has to start prior to development and the tools and processes available for release management are equally applicable and important for everyone on the product team, not just for the release team.
It doesn't really matter if you're using a traditional or agile methodology. Release management must start at the beginning of your release cycle, not at the end of the development cycle. Proper release management will benefit the entire team through the entire lifecycle.
Managing a Release
When taking a look at some of the issues that need to be dealt with as part of release management, it becomes clear that release management is an end-to-end lifecycle management process.
1. What's going into the release?
2. What are the priorities in case we run into time/resource trouble?
3. How flexible is our process with regard to changing the release target functionality?
4. Which outstanding problems from the previous release need to be addressed?
5. How is the release to be managed to minimize risk and ensure success?
6. What level of verification is necessary and what is that plan to ensure full coverage?
7. Which tool(s) are going to be used to support the release?
8. When and how will we commit a release date to marketing?
9. How do we track our progress against our release plan?
10. How will we generate and deploy/distribute the release artifacts?
11. How do we identify, for the customer, exactly what actually went into a release?
12. How will we track and improve release quality after the release?

MUSSEL MUSCLE: Backpacks on mussels? Researchers at the University of Iowa attached wireless sensor packages to Mississippi river mussels that measure how open their shells are. Data is sent to a station on shore that relays it to a lab for analysis. Mussels change how open their shells are in response to water conditions. That data could help scientists monitor water quality, including factors like varying nitrogen levels and pollutants. One reason for using mussels is that they keep themselves clean, so the monitors could last for years. Mussels that pack a punch.
YOUR INNER WORLD: Take a 3D tour of your esophagus. Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital can now save you from an anaesthetic while they check your esophagus for damage that could lead to cancer.
Their new device puts a tiny camera in a transparent capsule that the patient swallows with a glass of water. The capsule is on a tether that sends data back to a computer and imaging device. Infrared light is reflected off the esophagus walls, compared with a reference beam, and used to reconstruct a thin cross section of the esophagus in microscopic detail. Individual images can be stacked to create a 3D image. That's easier than an anaesthetic for sure, but having that wire down your throat, and then getting the capsule out again would surely have you gagging.
HOT SPOTS: The tiny LifeMonitor capsule could save the lives of firefighters one day. In a trial in Australia firefighters swallowed the capsules which contain a thermometer and small transmitter. The pill sends real-time data on the firefighter's core temperature to a device on the chest that also collects skin temperature, heart and respiration rate data. All the data is then sent to an external computer. A more accurate reading of core temperature can help managers make better decisions on when to withdraw individual firefighters from hot situations where heat stress may overcome them. The pill is excreted naturally after a couple of days. So popping pills could be cool after all.
SPEED BUMPS: Wilocity's wifi is much faster than current wifi. Traditional wifi uses the now congested 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to achieve speeds around 1 gigabit per second. Wilocity wifi uses the 60GHz frequency and reaches speeds up to around 7 gigabits per second. On the other hand, even thin walls can block it so systems would fall back to the slower versions if devices weren't in the same room. Still, faster for some of the time is better than always slower.
PUFFED UP: In 2015 the International Space Station will expand in size thanks to a Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM. The module is transported flat and will then be pressurised on arrival so it expands to its full size. BEAM will be tested for 2 years, then will be jettisoned and burn up on re-entry. If the testing shows the module is suitable then similar modules could be used in future human spaceflight to more distant targets. Why jettison it, rather than keeping it hanging round?

Reviews of this property
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit dort. Die Wohnung ist super! Angelo ist sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns immer mit richtig guten sandwiches versorgt. Danke dafür!
Manhattan ist sehr einfach in ca. 15 Minuten mit dem Subway zu erreichen. Auch das Zentrum von Brooklyn (sehr gut zum shoppen!) ist in genau 6 Minuten mit dem Subway erreichbar.
Die Nachbarschaft ist sehr gemischt und manchmal kann es etwas laut sein. Wer das wahre New York erleben möchte und nicht nur Touristen sehen möchte, sollte dieses Appartment wählen.
We had a very nice time there. The apartment is great! Angelo is very helpful and has always provided us with really good sandwiches. Thank you for that!
Manhattan is very easy to reach in about 15 minutes by subway. Also the center of Brooklyn (very good for shopping!) Is in exactly 6 minutes by subway accessible.
The neighborhood is very mixed and sometimes it can be a bit noisy. Who wants to experience the real New York and would like to see not only tourists should choose this apartment.
Nice flat at reasonable price. Angelo, the owner, is very friendly and very very helpful. Thank you!!
Nice flat at nice price. Angelo, the owner, is very friendly and very very helpful. Thank you!
Nettes Flat zu angenehmen Preis. Angelo, der Vermieter, ist sehr freundlich und sehr, sehr hilfsbereit. Danke !!!!!
Nice flat at nice price. Angelo, the owner, is very friendly and very very helpful. Thank you!!
The appartment was very nice and comfartable and Angelo was very nice, too. We just were confused, because the description didn't tell us that there is the subway going pretty close to the appartment. Because of that you always heard it driving. Luckily it doesnt't run so often at night. Besides the airplanes to LaGuardia Airport often fly over the appartment by day. We would have liked to know that when we booked the appartment. But if you know, than it won't be a Problem to handle with.
The biggest Problem for us was the rat in the wall. Angelo told us this would be because of the subway and he will try to get it away, so this won't be a Problem for future visitors.
The neigborhood was pretty good, a great mix of all cultural Groups. Even if there is no direct subway to Manhattan close to the appartment, going there is pretty easy and comfortable.
If Angelo can handle the rat-problem, there is no reason not to recommend this appartment.
Very pleasant stay. Angelo is present if we have a concern (besides it offers breakfast and lunch), smiling and pleasant. The apartment, in spite of a small leak in the room is very good. Large, clean, with air conditioning. Small private land behind friendly. The neighborhood is nice, even if it is not the most beautiful or the most renovated Brooklyn. Easily accessible (metro and bus), there are a lot of shops around (within 5min walk). Possibly only negative, certain smells can interfere especially when passing garbage. Small apartment with very reasonable prices for the budget to be recommended.
Séjour très agréable. Angelo est présent si nous avons un soucis (d'ailleurs il offre le petit déj et le lunch), souriant et agréable.
L'appartement, malgré une petite fuite lors du séjour, est très bien. Grand, propre, avec clim. Petit terrain privatif derrière sympathique.
Le quartier est agréable, même si ce n'est pas le plus beau ou le plus rénové de Brooklyn.
Facilement accessible (métro et bus), il y a pas mal de commerces autour (à moins de 5min de marche).
Éventuellement seul point négatif, certaines odeurs peuvent gêner notamment lors des passages des éboueurs.
Petit appart à prix très raisonnable pour les petits budgets à recommander.
We really enjoyed our stay there its relaxed and near the subway. Angelo is very helpfull and kind. Gives breakfast if you like! Let Angelo arrange a cap for the airport you won't be ripped off. Thanks Angelo....we hope to see you again.
I went in NYC in the 1st week of June with 2 friends, and in the end there is ONE thing first of all I really want to say: Thank you Angelo.
The host is really disponsable for every kind of help and advice, and you NEED it in your first time in NYC. So thank you again and again.
The flat is so cute in my opinion, perfect for 3 person, with everything you need, from the bathroom to the kitchen, the wifi connection, large hall, tv, hifi, everything! It's located in a quite and wonderful place in Williasmburg, at ten minutes from the best nightlife out of manhattan. The metro in just 2 minutes walking far and you can reach Times Square in just 20/25 minutes by train. Amazing.
The host Angelo also got next to the apartment his Deli (El Miste, it rocks!) and it's great for little shop for your holiday.
When I'll come back in NY surly I'll do here to the Sexy Flat.
Enjoy and thank you again.
Davide, Francesco & Luca.
My two friends and i enjoyed our stay at Angelo's place.It was close to the subway which gets you to Manhattan in 20 min.The best was that Angelo is very helpful and accommodating.I would recommend it to easy going people that want to experience Brooklyn.i had a blast.Thanks for everything Angelo!!!
We had a great stay in Brooklyn. Angelo was the best host we could have. He has been always sooo helpful and kind. The flat was very big and had a fully equipped kitchen. Metro line G lies only 5 minutes away. We enjoyed the time there and we can really recommend the flat. Mostly because of Angelo and his outstanding helpfulness. Thank you thank you thank you
First of all we would like to thank Angelo, the host, for all help and kindness he showed us. As soon as we needed something printed, a direction or anything he was really helpful and reallyade us feel good in his lovely aparent.
About the apartment;we stayed 3 guys, and the space was really enough, nice and clean and good enough beds to sleep on.
The location; in the middle of brooklyn, just 100 meter to the metro station, which took you to manhattan in about 20-25 minutes, a few minutes to williaburg. Also possible to go by walk to Williamsburg if nice weather. We had a Chinese restaurant just in the corner of our building, ATMs where everywhere as we'll as the delis (included Angelo's deli, best one), and grocery store just a few minutes walk.
In total we couldn't hope for a better stay in New York, couldn't wish for more !

As every waterfowler knows, you can face days that are hot and days that are frigidly cold and even run across the occassional rain storm. It is not too hard to decide what to wear on those days, but what about those in-between days when the temps fluctuate dramatically? Drake Waterfowl Systems proves their innovation and understanding of the hard-core waterfowler's needs with the MST Eqwader Plus Quarter Zip Pullover Hunting Jacket by Drake.
Drake's patented Eqwader technology revolutionized waterfowl clothing and has been a core piece of the Drake Waterfowl brand since the beginning. The Drake MST Eqwader Plus Quarter Zip Pullover Hunting Jacket raises the bar for innovation and hunting performance by utilizing Drake's Instinctive Features with an updated design that delivers increased performance in the field. The EquaderPlus also has an adjustable Neoprene Cuffclose. Each neoprene arm cuff tightens with a Velcro strap on the outer layer to seal out rain and swamp water.
The Drake MST Eqwader Plus Quarter Zip Pullover Hunting Jacket features HyperShield Technology - Laminated to Refuge HS outerwear fabric, HyperShield Technology guarantees protection from the elements. HyperShield is an impenetrable membrane that blocks out external wind and rain, yet allows internal moisture vapors to escape. To add to the waterproof capabilities of HyperShield Technology, Drake adds an external water-repellant finish and seam-tape all the seams on all of their clothing as two more fail-safes to keep hunters dry as a bone.
Another great feature of the EquaderPlus is Refuge HS. Refuge HS (Hard-Shell) is another innovative material brought to you by Drake. Combining the toughest and strongest fibers available enables this material to stand up against all of the elements a hunter faces with very little maintenance.

Project Status:
Licensed; In Compliance Phase. Operational: Unit 3, July 31, 2002
Unit 4, August 7, 2003
Unit 4, August 7, 2003
The California Energy Commission approved this project's Application for Certification on May 10 2001. The Commission monitors the power plant's construction, operation and eventual decommissioning through a compliance proceeding.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
John L. Geesman, Commissioner, Presiding Member
Jeffrey Byron, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Garret Shean
Key Dates
- December 1, 2000 - AES files Application for Certification.
- February 7, 2001 - AFC accepted as partially data adequate.
- March 29, 2001 - Presiding Member's Proposed Decision is released.
- April 13, 2001 - Amended Presiding Member's Proposed Decision released.
- May 10, 2001 - Commission approves project.
- July 31, 2002 - Unit 3 on line and producing power.
- August 7, 2003 - Unit 4 on line and producing power.
The AES Huntington Beach Generating Station Retool Project will be a nominal 450 megawatt (MW), natural gas-fired boiler retooling at the existing Huntington Beach Generating Station (HBGS) located in the City of Huntington Beach, in Orange County. The 12-acre site is located at 21730 Newland Street, southeast of the intersection of Newland Street and the Pacific Coast Highway, and about 600 feet east of the Pacific Ocean.
AES is proposing to retool and operate Units 3 and 4, which currently exist, but are out of service at the HBGS. The steam turbine generators will be rebuilt with new natural gas burners, a burner management system, and new draft fans. Southern California Edison (SCE) took these units out of service in 1995 when it owned the HBGS. At that time SCE surrendered its operating permits to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The Retool Project would restore these units to service. In addition to the boiler retooling, AES will be adding Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) equipment for emissions control.
The proposed Retool Project will be built entirely within the boundaries of the existing HBGS. No additional transmission lines or related transmission facilities will be required. It will use an existing 230 kilovolt (kV) switchyard owned by SCE. The proposed project will use natural gas supplied by the Southern California Gas Company via an existing 30-inch diameter pipeline. No changes to the pipeline or onsite connection to the pipeline will be required.
The project will use once through circulating water from the Pacific Ocean for cooling, while process water for steam generation and potable water for domestic needs will be supplied by the City of Huntington Beach via existng city water mains. Circulating cooling water, plant low volume waste streams such as water softener regeneration brines, and stormwater are currently discharged from the plant to the Pacific Ocean under the provisions of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. The retooled Units 3 and 4 would discharge to the same existing system.
During construction, a peak workforce of 530 people would be employed. During operation, the HBGS, with the addition of the retooled Units 3 and 4, would employ approximately 43 full-time staff.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

|Check-in before
It was impossible to contact the owner; she never answered our emails or phone calls. Finally got an email (After wimdu got involved) telling us that the key was in secure box by the door with a code for the box: Hellllo!!! the box was behind a locked screen door , impossible to get it. It took 1 1/2 hrs to sort this out on arrival after a long day in the air. A maintenance man finally open the door for us; we found him in a garage in the backyard. The place was spacious but property was questionnable; there was dust everywhere and it was obvious that the cleaning was done at a minimum.
Ligging van het apartement is prima, inrichting conform foto, alleen hang en sluitwerk erg slecht. Enkel glas waardoor al het geluid van buiten doordringt. Onderhoud niet heel goed, losse plank, licht in gang deed het niet, vaatwasser werkt niet goed. Veel geluidsoverlast gehad van buren, hun appartement was waarschijnlijk ook voorzien van houten vloeren. Host niet ontmoet alles via mail of telefoon geregeld. Parkeren in de straat mogelijk alleen weinig ruimte, soms 2 straten verder pas parkeerplaats.
Le bien : Appartement spacieux, clair, très bien situé (avec voiture), quartier très agréable. Parking dans la rue mais souvent dans les rues voisines. Bien équipé, beaucoup de rangements.
Le moins bien : Clim. bruyante, pas très propre (draps tachés et traces des précédents locataires dans la baignoire...). Simple vitrage donc bruits extérieurs. La clim. est présente dans le séjour et dans l'une des 2 chambre. L'autre chambre a des ventilateurs.
Big and clean apartment (1st floor of a house), located in a pleasant residential area, in a quite central location to visit LA. The neighborhood is also convenient with the farmers' market, the Grove and many stores.
Perfect for 4 people, even 6 would be possible.
The House is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood and it is strategically situated next to Melrose Avenue with walking distanse to Hollywood Walk of Fame and Beverly Hills. But you need a car in L.A to get around anyway. The house is one of two apartments in a large house and you can hear your neigbours very well, especially if they are a having a party. The house is quite old and needs renovation, f.ex. is the heating system in the living room not reparable - no problem during most of the year, but quite cold during winter time, so the owner had to bring extra owens. The house has limited power capacity, so you have to be careful when you put all electricity on. The house is large an can easily host a family with 6+ and the owner brings extra beds as needed. For shorter stays and also during summer period, the house is probably great to rent.
It was a great experience and a great stay at your place.
I will come again.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We were given a different house as the photos show, I believe the owner has more than one property in this area.
The house is spacious, the furnitures are old but workable. We arrived after 5pm but the cleaner has just began to clean the house, which wasn't very enjoyable as we had to wait for more than 1 hour to actually check in.
Overall it's alright although there are still lots of things can be simply improved. Good for group of 4 or more to stay.
Angie's place was great !!

EPA Helps States and Utilities Tap into Energy-Efficiency Savings
In partnership with several states and utilities, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a new pilot program designed to further improve commercial-building energy efficiency. Building Performance with Energy Star will help utilities and state energy-efficiency programs achieve increased energy savings and fight climate change by strategically pursuing whole-building energy improvements with their business customers. The pilot program is being launched with Energy Star partners Commonwealth Edison, Mass Save, MidAmerican, National Grid, New Jersey's Clean Energy Program, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and Focus on Energy.

EPA Challenges Manufacturing Industry to Improve Energy Efficiency
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized the first group of manufacturing sites that have met the Energy Star Challenge for Industry and reduced their energy intensity by 10 percent within 5 years. The U.S. manufacturing industry is responsible for nearly 30 percent of greenhouse-gas emissions in the United States and spends almost $100 billion annually on energy. Under the umbrella of the Energy Star Challenge for Industry, the EPA is working with individual manufacturing sites and their parent companies to fight climate change and save money through improvements in energy efficiency.

She studied at the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (1999-2003) and at the Rhode Island School of Design, USA (2001-2002). Her career began with large paintings illustrating spaces and places devoid of humans. Whilst she first started experimenting with comics in documentary style drawings, she later went on to use comics to comment on and critize the work she did as an artist. Today she chooses to more fully immerse herself in comic stories and cartoons. She also creates illustrations on commission.

I,m having to have my joint in my fingers that is closest to my fingernail fused together and will have no bend in them, they are bone on bone will I still be able to quilt.

I,m having to have my joint in my fingers that is closest to my fingernail fused together and will have no bend in them, they are bone on bone will I still be able to quilt.
I've not had that done but I would think you could certainly still quilt. people work out ways to do what they love best. Don't fret, i'm sure you will figure out ways to hold the fabric and pin and sew.
good luck
Good luck with your surgery!! And where there's a will, there's a way!! I'm sure you'll figure it out!
ask the doctor for a referral to a physical therapist and then after that an occupational therapist so you'll be able to get back to quilting.
the physical therapist will restore you to the best level of motion you'll be able to achieve and then the occupational therapist will show you how to function with a needle and thread given your range of motion.
its a very common form of occupational therapy to refine detailed motor skills. they work with needle, thread, tiger tape, and some fabric.
explain to the doctor that you do numerous charity quilts and the community would feel a tremendous loss if you weren't able to regain this function in your life
Good luck with the surgery. You may want to check out a different method of hand quilting where you don't bend your finger as much Check into the Aunt Becky method. It's more of a rocking motion with a metal guide.

I have arthritis in my spine and have so far kept myself moving enough to keep it from having to HAVE to have surgery. The docs keep encouraging me to let them cut but no way until I can't walk anymore.
I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. DO the therapy for sure, it will hurt but short term.
Sorry if I missed but which finger is it?
I am sure you will find a way to do something you love.
I know I ahve this to look forward to both in my back and my little finger....right now I am just plugging along.
I am much too young to feel this dang old :?
HI there,
I almost lost my right index finger 36 years ago, and when they did the repair surgery I lost the use of the joint below the fingernail. I am right handed; and still am able to cross stitch, sew, crochet, knit, and have just started doing wool applique. You should be fine when done your therapy. Actually, I don't even notice it unless I think about it now.
Good luck and hope you have a great outcome!!!
it;s my first finger ,middle finger and pinky on right hand then later on my left first finger and middle one, thanks for the encouragement and prAYERS

Leaving Live Mesh and the mess Microsoft is in
Posted on 20th Nov 2009 at 11:24 by Alex Watson with 16 comments
Live Mesh really is pretty nifty; sign up for an account, add your computer to 'the Mesh' (your own of group of machines) and any folders you select are uploaded to the servers. You can then access these folders and files via a web browser, or – and this is the brilliant bit – set them to by synced across multiple computers. Make a change to a file on one PC, and it'll be uploaded to the servers, then downloaded when the other machines turn on so they all mirror each other.
For a while, in fact, it was so good, I wondered if it was the start of a turnaround for Microsoft.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by armygirl, Nov 13, 2009.
I wonder if his mask steams up in the hot tub.
Up Close With Tayshaun Prince By: Joel Brigham Last Updated: 12/2/09 10:26 PM ET | 172 times read Adjust font size: Despite being relatively well-known as one of the NBA's ironmen, Tayshaun Prince has missed all but three games this season with a bad back. A huge part of the Pistons struggles early this year has to do with Prince and Richard Hamilton being out. But as Prince told HOOPSWORLD recently, he's close to returning, and he hopes then everything will start going in a more positive direction. You looked good shooting out there in warm-ups—the back's feeling a lot better I'm guessing? "Yeah, it feels good." You getting close to coming back? "I'm close. It's feeling really good lately. I haven't set a timetable or anything yet, but I'm working with the trainers. We'll see." Where are you at in terms of practice? Are you green-lighted to go full strength at this point? "I just go based on how I feel. I've been able to go consecutive days without any soreness or stiffness or anything like that." While you've been out, Austin Daye has had the opportunity to kind of step in and get his feet wet, and since he's a player similar to yourself I'm guessing that you've had a chance to work with him a bit. What are some positive things you're seeing out of this young man so far? "He's young and he's starting to get the groove of how things are done, not just on the court but with the NBA as a whole. You have to be prepared and give it your all every night. I think he's at a point where he's trying to understand the game—the difference between college and the pros. Obviously he's showed a lot of flashes, and he's shown some times where he needs to improve. But that goes for every rookie in the league, no matter how great they are. "It's kind of fortunate for him that I've been out so he can kind of see how I do things out on the court. He can relate to me because I'm a long, lean guy like him. I've been showing him some things, and I'm pretty sure things are starting to get better for him. I talk to you him out on the court and let him know what to do, but obviously it's better to show somebody how it's done. But that'll come with time, and the sooner I can get healthy the better it'll be for him." Record-wise I know you aren't what you want to be, but it's got to be hard to win games without you and Rip out there… "Yeah, it's tough. We went on a rough losing streak and it was hard for us to break it. We broke it against a great team in the Atlanta Hawks, and that just shows you how the league is. You've got to go out there and get that monkey off your back as quickly as you can…" Just ask the New Jersey Nets about that, right? "Yeah, exactly. We've got to find a way to get it back as soon as possible. Hopefully we can get Charlie back by Friday, Ben Gordon is starting to feel better day by day, and that means we're just back to me and rip again." This is going to be a very different team when everybody gets healthy, but with the injuries and the new coach and the new players, it's hard for us to get a handle on what exactly this Pistons team is… "We're going to space the floor, for one. Charlie gives us that shooting we lost with Rasheed spreading the floor. Charlie does a good job putting the ball on the floor, and that gives us an opportunity to use some great shooters out on the perimeter. But then we also have guys that can penetrate and create plays for one another. We've got some guards that can shoot the ball, and we've got fours and fives that can bang. But at the same time are good rebounders and are good defensively. "Once we all get healthy we'll be able to prove what we can do. It kind of hurts because this team is in its first year together and we haven't had that opportunity to mesh yet. But we've got some veteran players who will be able to respond and hopefully get us back on track." There didn't seem to be an ounce of doubt in Prince's face when he said these things, so it appears as though he legitimately believes that Detroit can get back into the playoff race. Truth be told, they aren't all that far from getting back into it even right now. Getting the gang healthy and making a strong push makes this team relevant again, and that all starts with getting Prince healthy—something he appears well on his way to achieving.
Hamilton (ankle) practiced with the Pistons on Thursday, the Detroit Free Press reports. Recommendation: Hamilton is unlikely to play Friday against Milwaukee, but he's nearing a return. Pistons head coach John Kuester said Prince (back) "did some light work" during Thursday's practice, the Detroit Free Press reports. Recommendation: Prince is getting close to a return, but we don't expect that to happen Friday against the Bucks. With Bengo back and Villy likely to play tonight, I'd say Wednesday at Sixers will probably be the first game since the opener when the team is healthy. Should be fun to watch a full-strength Pistons team go against AI & co.
That would be sumpin' if they both came back the same game next week.. maybe with Charlie V. Daye, Summers & Wilcox will be MIA... maybe they can go to the Party store at halftime.
Magic returned quicker from AIDS than Rip has from his sprained ankle. He's been day to day for 36 days now.
With our luck, Stuckey will go down as soon as Rip comes back...wait a minute that may be some good luck
That's not funny, but having said that, it really is.
I don't know why everybody is so down on stukey he's avg 18 4 and 5. Just give the guy some time to play under control and make better decisions. The talent is obviously there seriously.
No PM's in the background here. I don't like the turn on some of these comments.
We are not down on Stuckey. It's just that we have so many talented SGs, that sometimes the coach feels like he has to put all of them on the floor at the same time, which leads to a midget-ball style.
I find it funny they mentioned Daye stepping in and getting his feet wet but didn't ask what he thought of Jerebko.
Separate names with a comma.

Prepare yourselves: R.E.M. have decided to become a rock band again. That's right, if interviews with their long-time manager, Bertis Downs, are to be believed, the band have abandoned the laid-back, experimental vibe of 2004's Around the Sun on what would appear to be the aptly titled Accelerate (Warner Bros., April 1), delving head-on into louder, harder-hitting guitar rockers for what should be one of the bigger releases this spring.
It's been more than 16 years since R.E.M.'s old Athens pals the B-52'S recorded a studio album. But with the likes of New York's Scissor Sisters, Daft Punk, and LCD Soundsystem pumping out discofied party jams, Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider, Keith Strickland, and Cindy Wilson have been honing their chops out on the road in anticipation of the first B-52's album on Astralwerks. The aptly titled Funplex (March 25) was produced by Steve Osbourne, whose credits include discs for New Order and Happy Mondays, and features titles like "Love in the Year 3000," "Deviant Ingredient," and "Keep This Party Going."
It hasn't been quite as long since Adam Duritz and his COUNTING CROWS tested the modern-rock waters, but the band's new Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings (Geffen, March 25) is their first release in five years. There were rumors that they had retained Rick Rubin to produce the disc. If so, it didn't work out: Gil Norton and Brian Deck produced in two parts. As you could guess from the title, this one deals in themes of Saturday-night sinning and day-after redemption.
Copy editors all over the English-speaking world are celebrating the news that PANIC AT THE DISCO have, for their sophomore album, opted to drop that pesky exclamation point. But the band, who injected a little electronic production into their melodic emo guitar pop on 2005's A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, couldn't help getting a little jiggy with the punctuation on the title of their new Pretty. Odd (Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen, March 25). At least they've dropped the Pro Tooled production in favor of something more organic and, they say, "Beatlesque."
Ohio's two-man BLACK KEYS went into the studio last year hoping to collaborate with Ike Turner. Although they did write a couple of keepers with Turner, they ended up in a Cleveland studio with Danger Mouse behind the production board, working on what will be the fifth Black Keys disc, Attack & Release (Nonesuch, April 1). In other words, expect a lot more than just drums and guitar on this one.
Danger Mouse has also been back in the studio with his GNARLS BARKLEY partner Ceee-Lo, and they've been cooking up their second album of grooving retro-futurist R&B. In the wake of St. Elsewhere, they picked a more appropriate TV show when it came time to name the new one: The Odd Couple (Atlantic, April 8). All you blogger types are probably already burning copies of the disc's leaked lead single, "Run."
MOBY comes full circle, back to the rave-style dance productions that put him on the musical map more than a decade ago, with his new Last Night (Mute, April 1). And it feels like the '90s all over again with the BREEDERS, too. They're set to release the Steve Albini–produced Mountain Battles (4AD, April 8), which features both Kim and Kelley Deal.
NICK CAVE didn't rest on his laurels after the success he had last year with the homonymous debut from his Bad Seeds offshoot Grinderman. No, he went right back into the studio with the reconvened BAD SEEDS and pumped out another album full of guts, God, and glory, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! (Anti-). It's already out in the UK and is set for April 8 release here in the US.

I having all kinds of trouble with hanging up getting logged out while trying to make a post ....very frustrating to write something only to lose it....and the hanging up just plain pisses me off.....
What's up guys?
Dezz still does not have access to his old account?
MH, the new avatar is not doing it for me. It looks like a dude with a wig on.
[QUOTE=Morehead State;440171] The Giants have been 8-8 twice recently. It would be tough to call the Giants a true dynasty if they won 2 or 3 more in the next 10 years unless they play better than they have in the regular season. Quite honestly, what we got in 2 championships came in 2, 4 game runs in the playoffs. Both those regular seasons were very up and down.
It's what you said right here

It's too bad, I'm too good....
Any results on T2's knee mri yet? I'm thinking that he may be done before this season even get's going.

Career Services Internships
Internship build your skills and experience throughout your college career. In an internship, students perform substantive work and learn in the field under the direct supervision and monitoring of practicing professionals. All students should take advantage of the opportunity to gain career-related experience. Doing so helps you make decisions regarding career options, and helps you develop contacts in the field as well. In short, you won't know if you like a career until you try it out, and employers and graduate schools strongly value candidates with experience.
INTERNSHIPS MATTER. 91% of Wabash students with three or more internships are settled at graduation; 63% with no internships are settled. Here are the basics you need to know to get started.
- Sources of internships: There are Wabash-funded programs providing dozens of internship opportunities. These are posted, with dozens more from our recruiting partners on Handshake. Thousands more internships are posted online each internship season (see links at the bottom of the page for a start). Many more internships are acquired through word-of-mouth and networking contacts.
- Finding internships: You must regularly check WabashWorks and your favorite sites. On most sites, you can build a preferred search so that new opportunities are regularly emailed to you. DO THIS. On the other side of your search, you must be building contacts with alumni and others at organizations and in fields in which you seek an internship. RESUME REFERRALS ACCOUNT FOR A LARGE PORTION OF SUCCESSFUL INTERNSHIP SEARCHES.
- When to start: Immediately. You should minimally have your resume ready and cover letter skills mastered so you can jump on any opportunity when it arises. Many highly competitive internships are offered late in the Fall; most internships are posted early Spring semester.
- How many to apply for: Apply until you have a firm offer. Do not stop at one or two or ten, and do not make any assumptions about whether you will get anything. Keep applying until you accept an offer.
Are Internships Paid?
Some are paid, some are not. Pay depends on the industry, the organization, and often the popularity of the internship. The purpose behind an internship is to provide an experiential opportunity -- the reward comes from that experience and the increase in your marketability.
Some unpaid internships do offer other financial benefits. These might include parking, housing/housing assistance, travel expenses, meals, mileage, etc. Others may offer college credit in lieu of pay. This can be a problem at Wabash however, since we do not provide college credit for internships. If you are interested in an internship opportunity that provides/requires college credit, see us.
Do I Ever Have To Pay For An Internship Experience?
Some internship programs are actually structured learn/work programs that set up experiences for you for a fee. This is fairly common with international internships. Depending on your situation, you may want to consider such programs.
How Long Is An internship?
All Wabash-funded Programs (Lilly, SBIF, Dill, etc.) require at least 8 weeks of work. Other program lengths can vary from 8 weeks to 2 years. Most summer programs average 10 weeks. To be of value and provide the necessary learning, the internship should last at least 8 weeks.
How Do I Choose The Internship That's Right For Me?
If you are in the career decision-making process, choose an internship that will give you a well-rounded picture of that career field. If you have firmly decided on your career path, choose an internship that will give you the greatest amount of experience. If you have identified an employer you'd like to work for, apply for an internship with the organization. Many employers use internships to groom potential full-time hires. When in doubt, always choose internship programs that are structured over those that are not.
Can I Intern As A Freshman?
Yes, but for an internship you'll want to wait until the summer between your freshman and sophomore year. Your freshman year will be packed with academics and involvement, and it will be tough to carve out the time to complete an internship experience while you're in school. For best results, start getting your resume and search plan underway as soon as you begin your studies at Wabash. You can definitely complete a short-term externship during your freshman year.
How Many Internships Should I Complete?
As many as you like. We have graduating seniors every year who have completed 3 or more internships. All students should complete an internship if they plan to compete successfully for postgraduate opportunities.
When Should I Begin Applying For Internships?
Nationally competitive internship programs frequently have fall deadlinesfor internships the following summer. Federal government internship programs (CIA for example) have deadlines as early as November. For local internship programs or those with smaller organizations, it's best to apply in the early spring semester. Application deadlines for all Wabash-funded internship experiences are in early spring. If you wait too long to start preparing and searching, you will miss out on a wealth of excellent opportunities.
