When Part Time Is the Right Time
Confused about whether you want to pursue your MBA on a full-time or part-time basis? You're not alone. In fact, over the past five years the percentage of GMAT test-takers undecided about which type of program they planned to attend nearly tripled, from 2.71% in 2001 to 7.9% in 2006.
BusinessWeek.com reporter Kerry Miller spoke to Kristine Mackey, associate dean for Evening and Weekend Programs at Chicago Graduate School of Business, to get some advice for applicants. Here are edited excerpts of the conversation:
What are the major questions that should be going through someone's mind when they're choosing between applying to full-time or part-time MBA programs?
I think the first question is: "How happy am I in my job?" "Is my job enriching and should I keep it while I study, or is it not enriching enough?"
When you're cruising along in your job, you're loving your job, you think there's places to go and things to learn in the job, and you're still jazzed about it, maybe you don't want to get off the train. But when you're at a point where you're sitting in a sea of cubes and every day looks the same and you can't imagine where you're going next, then it makes a lot more sense to get off the train.
What full-time students are getting that the part-timers are not getting is the luxury of immersion. So a lot of that's lifestyle. "At this point in my life, do I want to get off the train and really immerse?" And then the second question might be money: "What does it mean for me financially?"
When is it generally a good idea to take on the financial risk and go to a full-time program?
I think it makes perfect sense for people who want to go into some industries where that boost is more likely to come by you going through all the traditional recruiting stuff, meaning investment banking and consulting, though I'd really caveat that with some sectors of investment banking. Because now, with all these new sectors coming up—venture capital, private equity—they don't operate in the same way. But traditional I-banking.
Do you see a lot of people who say: I'd love to do this as a full-time program, but I'm not willing to take on that financial risk?
There are a lot of people with families that are taking the risk and just getting off the train, but I do think it's a huge question. People without a safety net don't feel comfortable giving up that income. I think for a person with a lot of undergraduate loans, they're $120,000 in debt, for that person, I think there's a bigger question: "Can I give up the income and take another loan simultaneously?"
How does the availability of financial aid differ between full time and part time?
Loan aid is the same. There's more merit aid in the full-time, but merit aid is such a small portion of our overall aid in any graduate school that I don't think that's really as big of an issue. I know some of my students have run that analysis, saying, "Here's what I would get if I went full-time vs. here's what I would get on loan, plus my employer would pay half, plus I wouldn't lose my income," and the aid has to be pretty good for it to make a difference. It has to be pretty much merit aid and there has to be enough of it to make the financial analysis tip the balance in favor of full-time.
Is there a certain type of person who, money aside, would really be better served in the part-time program?
Again, I think people who are in a situation where they just love what they're doing and they can grow. I don't know if people realize what a rare thing that is. If you've got it and all you want is broadening, then don't give up.
Do you think that full-time is usually a better option for career-changers?
I think that you can do it either way. Because, really think about it, industry change is not just job change. For some people, that's no small thing, all the learning that you have to do to get up to speed. Some people can operate on less sleep and can operate pretty efficiently without structure. But I think if you need that structure and you think you'll do better in that environment, then I think full-time is probably the right place for you.
Are there any other groups of people who would probably be better served by taking that risk and doing the full-time program?
There are a couple of groups. First of all, again, if you're in a job, even though the paycheck feels great but you don't see how this is ever going to take you anywhere, or for whatever reason you find yourself in an environment that's unhealthy, you find yourself in an industry that's like topsy-turvy, going somewhere not positive -- for a lot of those people to get off is the right way to do it.
I also think it's right for people who want to go into some traditional Wall Street firms, where the way that they bring people into the fold is via the formal, structured, internship recruiting process. And then from that internship, they pick off the people they want to give full-time offers. It's still relatively common in certain sectors of I-banking.
In full-time programs you hear a lot about the importance of networking. Do part-time students miss out on a lot of that?
In the full-time program, it's a little bit more culturally ingrained—you'd be abnormal to not participate in that. And I think, in the part-time program, and we've studied our own students, it's kind of 30-30-30. Thirty percent are not participating in all that bonding stuff at all, and those people are just trying to survive.
They've got kids, they've got a hard job, they're commuting out to the far suburbs. Those people are struggling. So that 30% doesn't participate, by and large, at all. Then there's the 30% on the other end of the spectrum that are really participating in a way that's almost exactly the same as if they would have gone to a full-time program. And then there's the 30% in the middle who are kind of hybrid, and they're sort of cafeteria picking what they're going to participate in or not, and they're getting some of that bonding.
I do think it's more common and it's more expected in a full-time program, so if I'm really, really a shy person and I need that structure and I need that push and I think that's valuable, then maybe I'd be better off in a full-time program.
Are there any curricular components at Chicago that are included in full-time but not in part time?
Actually, full-time has to take 21 courses, not 20. The one course they take that's different, which also adds to the polish factor, is a course called Lead. It's a leadership development course, and it's a real immersion in the soft-skill world. For full-time students, it's mandatory. Everybody has to take it first year. It's optional in the part-time program.
One big complaint that a lot of part-time students have is that they don't have the same access to job placement and career services.
Yeah. We just changed that, about a year and a half ago, and now they do. Our students now have full access to full-time recruiting. Number one, on the employer side, they wanted access to all of our students, and they didn't want to have to go to two separate programs to recruit. So recruiters and companies really drove it for us in a big way. Secondarily, the students were requiring it, because part-time students aren't all one flavor any more.
There's entrepreneurs, there's career switchers. It's a huge range of folks. We've gone through two cycles of this, and out of 1,500 evening and weekend students, we have approximately 150—about 10%—who participate in on-campus recruiting.
Why do you think that percentage isn't higher?
I think part of the reason is that the post-MBA jobs are not appropriate. Our average part-time student has five, six years of experience. And so they're in a lot of the jobs right now that would be considered post-MBA, entry post-MBA jobs. And so the jobs are not the jobs they would be looking for.
The other part of it is a lot of people want to stay with their employer and they just want the ability to move forward in a different way. I have a lot of folks who were engineers in a manufacturing facility who've moved over within the same company, over to finance or over to marketing. So there are a number of folks who are happy with their company, they're just looking for a broader role.
Are part-time students allowed to participate if they're being sponsored by their employer?
You're allowed to do it, but you have to get your supervisor to sign a letter to say they're aware that you're going through recruiting. So, in other words, like we're real happy to have it all happen, but it can't be fibbing. We don't want to be a participant in dishonesty.
How many part-time students at Chicago are employer-sponsored?
It was as recently as 15 years ago when about 80% of them were being paid for 100% by their employer. Now we only have 48% that are employer-sponsored. And that sponsorship ranges from $5,000 a year—which is one course—all the way up to full, and everything in between.
And even for those 48% who have some sponsorship, the sponsorship isn't what it used to be. It's gone the same way that insurance has gone. There's got to be some co-pay, the employer believes, or the student doesn't have enough skin in the game.
I think that's the biggest thing that has changed in the part-time world, and it's driven a consumerism amongst part-time students that was different back when your paternalistic employer would say to you, "Yes, you've been selected to go to school. All you have to do is show up."
If someone starts as a part-timer, do you allow them to full-time the second year?
We used to. And now that you can do recruiting together, we don't transfer any more. We also allow people to accelerate or decelerate their program, based on their life. So you start as a part-time, you lose your job, and you want to take a full load.
We also allow people to register for classes across both. So in the Thursday night class, you'll have a bunch of full-time students. On a Saturday class, you'll have a bunch of full-time students. And less so a part-time student can sign up in a daytime class. So because we allow all that flexibility anyway, the big thing that people wanted to transfer for at one time was recruiting. Now there isn't that barrier, so we don't allow it any more.
Why do some recruiters still avoid going after part-time students?
I think there are a couple of reasons. I used to be a recruiter—I was in consulting with KPMG for many years and I was part of our recruiting team from the business side. And I recruited everywhere.
I frankly think that two things happen with recruiters. Number one, you're biased by your own experience. So, for a lot of people, if I came out of a full-time program and I have that sort of pride in my full-time program, I'd prefer to recruit the full-time program. So I think some of that is just tradition and recruiter bias. I also think that because full-time students have more time to work on soft skills, they tend to be more polished, traditionally polished, if you will.
What would your advice be to part-time students on how to overcome that?
I say this to students at the beginning of every quarter at orientation every time around, and I don't know how many of them listen. But I say, you don't have as much access—either by time or by circumstance—to improve those skills. And those skills are vitally important.
And I have seen some of our part-time students make a tremendous commitment. I just think it's a little bit tougher to do as a part-time student, to easily achieve that soft skill transformation.
I've also heard from full-time students that they don't really want to mix with part-time students.
Yeah, there is some of that. I don't know why that is. I think a lot of it is we have about 30 student clubs in the part-time side. And full time has about 60. Almost all of them fully mix, and the ones that don't are the big industry groups, where they kind of sense that they're competing with each other.
The investment banking group and the consultant clubs don't mix, and they each have their own club and there's some competition, there's some competitive spirit. And on the full-time side, some elitism, which I think is so goofy in today's world, but I understand where that came from.
Are there common mistakes you see in the applications of part-time students?
I'm amazed by the number of applications I see on the part-time side where the person has never set foot in the school, never spoken to anybody at the school—they're just kind of lobbing in an application. Another thing I say to part-time students is that because you're busier, you think the people on the other side are saying, "Oh, well, you're busy so it doesn't matter as much, the quality of your essays, the quality of your recommendations." And that's really amiss.
What's your best advice for someone trying to decide between going to B-school full-time or part-time?
I'd say talk to a lot of the people that are doing it. If you're considering both, talk to people in both. Sit in classes in both. Most of us are cognizant of our surroundings and the people we're sitting with.
And, again, when you're sitting at a table in a conversation with a group of people that are doing a full-time experience and also a group of people that are doing a part-time experience, you're going to get a sense for what they have to do to make it work, and you'll get a sense, I think, for where you belong. I think administrators aren't as valuable a resource as students themselves.

I paid taxes on the boat; and unemployment being taxed is a joke.<quoted text>
Unemployment income is taxable.
The things that are typically attributed with driving state coffers up or down, though are the purchases of "big ticket items," like cars--or that boat you thought you shouldn't have to pay sales tax on.
giving back some of what is given does not provide revenue; but paying sales tax on a boat does.
your liberal brainwashed head is comical.
the boat was taxed twice; and actually even paid with real money earned in the private sector.
can you imagine the horror?
The reason the state treasury is down is because not enough people are paying into it.
plain and simple.
go spin a kite tail and fly that around awhile.

A few student testimonials...
"I am very grateful for what Sunset has been to
Christopher. Camara has managed to get Christopher to just chill'ax and enjoy the piano. Brian has been
very patient and has gotten Chris to want to play the drums even more. They both rock!!!! You,
Nicola and Dan are always pleasant and a joy to talk to. You guys are a blessing to the kids. We
appreciate the Open Stage Night every month. The time and care you give are priceless!"
"We feel the love every time we walk into the
studio! Nicola and Colleen are the sweetest and the teachers are very passionate in what they do. My son, Matthew,
is currently taking group guitar with his friends and they enjoy learning from Steve. My other son, Andrew, is
taking drum lessons from Brian and he looks forward to class every week! I am very satisfied at what my boys have
learned thus far and I'm looking forward to them rocking out in the near future!" C.T
"Our family loves the staff and teachers
at the studio! Our boys take guitar, uke and drum lessons, and they have a great time. They are progressing as
young musicians and enjoy performing on Open Stage night." J.T.
"My daughter's piano teacher, Dan, has written
a personal arrangement of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" for my daughter's exact level! I would never have
thought any instructor would go that many extra miles for a student! Truly wonderful, talented and amazing. Thank
you Sunset Learning for making the piano fun!" K.F.
"I want to sincerely thank both you and Jack for your generosity and kindness toward both Hudson and myself. We
felt very comfortable and at home. We will most definitely give your studio the highest of endorsements when
speaking with others!" J.P.
"We just wanted to send a thank you to you and Michelle. Rachel's performance was the best we've ever seen and
heard from her. We love how in such a short time Michelle was able to help Rachel make the song her own. Rachel
appreciates the work on volume and nervousness very much. The audience response to her was a big boost to her
confidence. She is enjoying lessons very much, and we are very appreciative. Rachel looks forward to ongoing
instruction. Please forward this on to Michelle!" D.F.
"It's true..good things come in small packages! This amazing, cozy studio, tucked away in an unexpected location
(which , I guess, is how they can offer the lowest rates I've been able to find!) is just the perfect learning
studio. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable, and more importantly is their staff of fantastic
"Thanks so much for being so good with Tegan. She loves (loves, loves, loves!) her voice lessons and she always
has a lot of fun, and I think you strike a great balance between having her learning "how" to sing and still having
her feel like its just a really fun time." J.A
"My daughter is taking voice and guitar lessons and LOVES it! I can already hear the vast improvement after just
a few short months."
"Bianca is a wonderful teacher and I enjoy our sessions, and look forward to the next." J.D
"My 7 year old son had been nudging me about taking drum lessons for about 2 years and I finally decided to give
in to his drumming fantasies. So I did quite a lot of research to find the right studio for him and thought it was
more than coincidental that more than one person (in the industry) had recommended Sunset Learning Studio."
"My daughter's voice has already improved a lot since we started but most importantly her confidence has
really grown. I am very grateful!!" K.A
"My son is absolutely flourishing with his drumming! His instructor is amazing! He is beyond knowledgeable and
has an innate ability to not only keep my sons attention, but is able to nurture his young skills to an
unimaginable level. It's funny how my 7 year old now listens to music in a completely different way. He's
constantly reminding me how the snare is keeping the tempo of a certain song or what the timing is of another. It's
exactly what we were hoping for!"
"Dan (the owner) is about as nice of a person as you will find on this planet and he runs his family owned
business as though he cares!" T.G.
"You guys are the great ones for setting up the environment where everyone can feel comfortable, thrive and
flourish in their budding talent. You are all nurturers and Dan is such a visionary to set up the new
studio. We are really, really impressed. My mom and sisters really enjoyed themselves too and were
impressed with all the performances.Thank you Thank you Thank you!!" A.C

These MegaRed Krill Oil capsules come in a easy to open sealed bottle. The bottle is in a cardboard box. There are use instructions also included. Which are well written. The actual capsules are a black red colour and very hard. They are a bit smaller than the other brand of fish oils I have been using and so are easier to take with water. There is a very vague smell with these tablets, not off putting at all perhaps a bit like vanilla ice cream! Over the last twenty plus years I have been a regular user of fish oil capsule. The capsules I use now do have that "fishy" aftertaste, which at times can be really unpleasant. These MegaRed Krill Oil capsules claim not to have this aftertaste. Which I am pleased to say is true.
There is no nasty aftertaste and as the oil apparently dissolves in the stomach contents while other oils tend to float on top according to the information supplied.
I have been advised to take fish oil for a number of reasons, heart health, joint health and so on. Cod liver oil tablets have been getting a bad press lately what with various toxins and heavy metals contaminating the waters and in turn the fish, but these tablets are made from krill oil from the cleaner Antarctic waters seems to be a better idea for the users heath.
I am pleased recommend this producr if you''re looking for fish oil/omega 3 capsules
These capsules are:-
Very easy to take with water
Have no fishy aftertaste
I have been taking these now for 20 days and there have been no side effects. No fish taste.
Very impressed.

Wood trim finishing problems
I am using Mini-wax polycrylic water based on new hickory trim( whole basement remodel ).
I am using foam brushes.
I am finding uneven surfaces and bubbles marks at times .
Basement temps are 64 f where I'm finishing the wood at.
I have a lot of wood to do and need to find the right technics.
Hey Gear,
Gotta tell ya, I've never used foam brushes, however I've heard positive reports from others. Question: Did you stir or shake the polycrylic? And what specie of wood are you applying it on?
Air Bubbles can form in a foam brush application. Personally I would use a good quality Purdy brush. Also as commented by Steve, I would make sure the can had been STIRRED very well. You also might want to look at a mini roller and roll on as much as you can on your Hickory trim, then back brush to level out. This would be more along the lines of production painting.
Good Luck.
After some sanding/cussin ect , yeah I'm blaming the lions share on air
encapsulated in the foam brush.
I got out my Purdy brush and things are looking much better , then I see its
recommended so maybe .
Maybe in the right hands a foam brush is OK but I don't like them , don't
seem like much control, had to give it a try as some seem to like them..
Yeah I know better than to shake the can and am stirring it a good while.
I picked up some 220.320 and 600 paper and have #0000 steel wool for
the final buff.
No experience with waterbased poly and has been yrs since I played with
the oil based (and I seem to remember no problems then).
It seems to raise the grain on the first coat ( water based ) so a light
dusting with 220 I think then step it down (finer, grit wise ) on the next
two coats.
Does it seem like I'm on the right track ?
I find that I get the best results with trim by laying on a fairly heavy coat-then quickly even out the finish with the brush--it seems to level itself out that way.
OK thanks for the tips guys things are looking tremendously better.

Mario Cuomo Criticies Obama Policy
Liberal icon and former New York governor Mario Cuomo has openly criticized Barack Obama's prioritizing health care reform over fixing the American economy.
"First of all, I think, looking back, it might have been better if the President concentrated on the economy first, and dealt with the economic problem more completely than he has so far," Cuomo told liberal talker Ed Schultz Friday. "He has done wonderfully well to keep us out of disaster, but if instead of coming first with health care, he had put if off just a little bit, and waited until jobs started appearing, etc., it would have helped the treasury, it would have put less pressure on raising big taxes from anywhere."
Here is the quote as heard on The Ed Schultz Show:
While Cuomo is critical of Obama's priorities, the former governor indicated support for ObamaCare during the interview and chastised opponents as being "too stupid to understand the issues."

Napier continues to rest sore shoulder
UConn junior Shabazz Napier continues to receive treatment for his sore left shoulder.
Napier was held out of practice on Sunday. The Huskies had both Monday and Tuesday off.
Team trainer James Doran expects that an improving Napier will be ready to practice on Wednesday, according to an update from UConn.
Napier, a starting guard and leading scorer, suffered the injury in a loss to Louisville on Jan. 14. He was a game-time decision to play at Pittsburgh on Saturday.
A limited Napier struggled against Pitt, finishing with eight points, three rebounds, two assists and two turnovers in 34 mniutes in a 69-61 loss.
UConn is off until Sunday afternoon when it hosts Rutgers at the XL Center in Hartford. Napier is expected to play.
The Huskies are looking to break their first two-game losing streak this season.

My plumber is here to sort my pipes.
Says he has divorced his wife.
He just showed me his hose.
Then proceeded to propose.
I admit I got the fright of my life.

As we walk like children holding hands , swinging our arms together as we walked slowly through the blanket of the Autumn leaves. The path we walk is as it were never ending .The tall forest trees that lined each side , appeared to funnel off to the distant open sky . Sun now setting leaving a Orange sky that blended with the leaves all about us . That cool evening breeze upon our glowing faces . The whisper of the trees as they swayed in the wind , but the loudest sound of it all was the beating of our hearts . No it was not just the chill of the wind that made our faces glow , it was the love in our hearts that showed. Yes we were children for that moment , full of innocents of a love so pure at heart, a love so true , nothing could tear it apart . A love that memories are made of and dreams that come true .There is nothing so good as the love you have for me and I for you.
The path we walk that seemed to go on forever , was actually our love through out our lives ,as we travel together through it.

Life is like a rollercoaster
Made up of many trains:
It has its ups
It has its downs,
And drives some folks insane.
(It also has a tendency
To liquefy the brains)
Life is like a rosebush
With many budding blossoms:
But please be warned,
This bush has thorns
That make the prize less awesome
(and if your buds get mangled
You've got to burn or toss 'em)
Life is like a hurricane
It brings rain but destroys:
Buildings boats and skyscrapers
And other human toys
(Along with human businesses
And greater human joys)
Life is like an apple
A treat down to the core:
But working for that shiny red
Is certainly a chore
(Especially for those folks
Who've never worked before)
Life is like a bowl of milk
When freshly poured, is sweet:
As it ages, it turns hard
To change to cheese to eat
(Though I wonder why some folks
Eat cheese that smell like feet)

The sun told me it will rise again;
And send its warmth to the glen,
But it can't soften the coldness in your soul!
So I will walk barefoot on the snow buried in your whole:
Leaving my traces on your heart's lane.

Pros: Good Overclock Potential, Hyperthreading, Fast CPU
Cons: Heat, Standard Pricing
Great performing CPU. Ivy Bridge architecture runs way hot though, my chip can go 4.5ghz and above easy but the heat increases alot after each 100mhz after my 4.5ghz, not too mention how much voltage you need. Cooling on air with HYPER 212 Evo. Got this CPU for a steal, only paid $250. The base price is usually around $320-$330 so it is quite expensive. Upgraded from a 3570k for Hyper Threading in my applications that use more threads and I can see a difference already.

Maryann and her associates are a very professional and competent team. She represented me for my divorce and did not waste our time or money to get the job done. Other attorneys will prolong the process as every court battle means money in their pockets. Not so with this firm. It was as painless as possible and yes, divorce is expensive, but I feel it could have been much worse.
Posted by Devorah
Mary Ann was fantastic. I wish I had used her first. She was on top of everything; didn't take nonsense from my ex, knew the law and how to respond to each situation. She was well prepared for court and helped me win each part of my case. I highly recommend her.
Posted by anonymous
Mary Ann Aiello office was prompt and extremely helpful with all my concerns and questions. I always received a returned call or a response to my email. I felt completly comfortable with all the assistance that I rcvd. I would and have recommended their services to friends and family. I worked with Rebecca and she was great!
Posted by anonymous
Not sure where to start but my husband and I used this firm to take care of our custody and child support case which eventually went in our favor but the quality of work put into the stipulations and orders were at best what a high schooler could complete. There were numerous grammatical and spelling errors on the documents that were sent for us to review, we would have stopped using them but we were already in 4k. I guess sending substandard work to your clients and charging them extra to correct the initial mistakes and errors only helps them pad their bill. Honestly, if I'm going to be paying 300+ an hour, I expect top notch work with no errors, ever hear of proofreading. Not sure if this was the quality of Mary Ann or her associate Rebecca, but in either case it seems as though we were charged for the preparation by Rebecca and review by Mary Ann in which we still received substandard documents.
The outcome of our case was to our benefit as we won all the stipulations we were asking for so I don't want people thinking we are disgruntled because we lost. If you are good with organizing your time and don't mind researching processes as to what forms are needed for your case, save yourself some money and do it your self, otherwise do yourself a favor and keep searching for another firm. I'm assuming this firm doesn't care about their clients as they most likely suspect us being one time users of their services. After spending about 10k, I'm still getting bills for trivial charges.
If you would like to see the poor quality of their work I will be glad to provide it to you. Please email me at ufdrew79 at yahoo.

AKRON, Ohio – Senior pitcher Andrew Brown hurled seven scoreless innings to lead The University of Akron baseball team to a 7-0 win over Central Michigan at Lee R. Jackson Baseball Field on Friday, setting the UA record for career innings pitched in the process.
Brown (6-5) scattered eight hits and struck out four in the outing, moving his career innings pitched total to 338.0. Ross Liersemann had previously held the record with 334.0 innings in his career from 2003-06. Senior Danny Fawcett came on to finish out the contest, tossing two innings of no-hit relief.
Redshirt Freshman Joey Havrilak batted 2-for-4 with an RBI to lead Akron (17-26, 10-6 Mid-American Conference) at the plate. Sophomore Darius Washington and freshman Matt Rembielak each drove in two.
Zach Cooper (4-4) gave up seven runs in seven innings in a losing effort on the mound for the Chippewas (18-25, 7-9). Cooper had allowed just four earned runs in his first five conference starts prior to Friday. Pat MacKenzie went 3-for-4 at the plate for CMU.
The Zips wasted little time getting to Cooper, batting around to put up six in the bottom of the first. Havrilak started the rally with a one-out double to right center and scored when Sam Watkins's grounder sneaked through the right side. Three straight walks by Cooper then kept the inning moving, with the final free pass forcing home Watkins. Washington's bases-loaded grounder then hopped over Jordan Dean at short to bring in Tyler Begun and Brady Stewart and Rembielak put UA ahead 6-0 by ripping a two-out, two-run single to right center.
Brown did not have his best stuff early, but battled to keep the Chippewas off the board. Back-to-back two-out hits gave CMU a pair of runners in the first, but Brown wrung up Sam Russell to end the frame. Brown would not allow a CMU runner past second all-game long and stranded 10 Chippewa base runners. All eight hits he surrendered came after he had recorded the first two outs of the inning.
Akron added an insurance run with a pair of two-out hits in the sixth. Devan Ahart singled to right and swiped second. Havrilak then sent a matching single to right to bring Ahart in for a 7-0 lead.
Fawcett sat down all six batters he faced to close out the game. The senior righty got good defense from all three UA outfielders, with Jared Turocy making a diving catch in left for the final out in the ninth.
Akron and Central Michigan continue the weekend series tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Lee R. Jackson Baseball Field. Freshman lefty Pat Dyer will take the mound for Akron, with CMU giving the nod to junior Pat Kaminski.
Zips Notebook: Akron shutout an opponent for the fourth time this season. Andrew Brown has been the starter in all four of those games ... Jared Turocy had a 12-game hitting streak snapped.

Sadly, there are only eight puppies now. It's a difficult time. Hard to stop her lying on one and always hard to manage nine pups with eight teats, of course. We're hoping there will be no further losses, even though it is common to lose a few.

Children of migrant laborers--Education--Michigan
Degree Level
This Narrative Case Study examines the curriculum of the Northwestern Michigan Migrant Program (NMMP), specifically focusing on the program's guidelines, attitudes, and implications of language instruction. Furthermore, this research focuses on the implications of the NMMP's services and curriculum for the migrant community. Through interviews with students, administration (on both the local and federal levels), as well as migrant agricultural laborers, the findings reveal the need for simultaneous heritage language (HL) and English language instruction. Parents, students, and staff emphasized the significance of HL in community maintenance and an individual's relationship to the community, while underscoring the importance of English language development for the student's academic achievement. As such, the migrant community stressed the need to concurrently maintain and develop both languages. However they also suggested the NMMP enlist qualified Latina/o teachers who have a deep connection to the farmworker community and maintain a commitment to student academic success. All participants agreed that poor communication and an undeveloped purpose prohibited the NMMP from truly becoming a successful learning environment.

Residential market slowing: economists
Page Tools
Australia's residential property sector continues to slow, economists say, with data showing home loan approvals fell slightly in August.
An Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) report showed housing finance commitments for owner occupied housing fell by a seasonally adjusted 0.2 per cent in August to 54,709, the fourth decline in the past five months.
It compared with market expectations for a rise of 0.8 per cent.
RBC Capital Markets
"These data suggest that the residential property sector continues to slow," RBC Capital Markets senior economist Michael Every said.
"Although we note that volatile number of new home purchase loans jumped 5.1 per cent, with petrol prices high and - crucially - investors finally seeing that the sector has already had its best days, we expect this overall downtrend to continue."
UBS senior economist Adam Donaldson said the report showed that while housing lending was stable at a high level, the construction component did not yet signal any major pickup for building approvals following recent falls.
"We continue to believe that housing activity is in the process of bottoming out, and not an impediment to our view that the domestic economy will be moderately stronger going forward," he said.

Flip a Coin? Heads you win and tails you win, or buy one now, save and buy the other one later.
I am a newbie to handguns. I have watched what feels like a million Youtube videos trying to decide on my first 9mm handgun purchase. After some waffling, I narrowed it down to two guns - the Glock 19 and XDm 3.8 Compact by Springfield.
I actually drove TWO HOURS to a gun range that rents guns (none in my area) and said they had a Gen 4 G19 AND XDm (although in the full size). I thought this would help me narrow it down. HOWEVER, when I got there this morning they could not find their XDm anywhere. So Icould only shoot the Glock.
I shot about 100 rounds through it and really liked it, particularly to a Smith M&P I shot as well. I had been leaning towards the XDm prior to the trip but now I am totally torn. Do I go ahead and get the Glock19 since I liked it when I shot it or do I go ahead toward the XDm because it feels good in my hand and I like its looks slightly better (but haven't shot it so can't say for sure)??
I can't decide what to do and was going to get a gun Wednesday.
BTW, while I was there, I also shot a Wilson CQB 1911 (about a $4,000 gun) for kicks. Out of 200 rounds total, it was the only gun that had a FTF! Ha ha! Gun range guy said it had not been cleaned in forever.
So what should I do? Convince me one way or the other. TIA
BTW - as far as details. This is what I like about the Glock 19:
1. It just seems to feel right when I pick it up (not necessarily the grip specifically but overall size and weight)
2. It IS a Glock - very reliable, durable, dependable, etc
3. Lots of Glock accessories out there and easier to find someone to work on them locally
4. I really liked shooting it at the range
And the Xdm:
1. I prefer the more modern, aggressive look over the plain jane Glock slightly
2. The gun WITH THE EXTENSION feels great ergonomically in the grip. (Without the extension I preferred the grip on the Glock)
3. The match grade barrel seems like an upgrade to the Glock.
4. I like the rear safety idea.
5. Seems easier to conceal (if I decide to do that down the road) with the flush mag.
6. For $64 dollars, it comes in a nicer case with a holster and mag belt holder.
7. People KEEP talking about the spring fail on the Gen 4 Glock. I have seen nothing like that on the XDm.

If you like a gun for range shooting but may also want to carry it I suggest the Ruger SR9c 9mm. I have one and it is a very nice gun. Comes with a 17 round mag and extension so you have a full handle for the range and also comes with a 10 round mag with a pinky extension which makes it very good to carry. It also has one of the nicest triggers ever on a factory gun and is accurate. I really suggest you look at one closely.
I guess I would wait til I tried the XDm. You may like it better than the Glock or maybe not.
what are you going to use it for HD or carry because that will make a difference. stop looking at how much it will carry. you can reload or carry another mag.
look at the glock 22
Glock 22 Our Pick Over Five Other .40 S&W Defense Pistols
Between the two, I would probably go with the XDm. The two are of approximately the same quality (good), although I favor the metal magazines and the general feel of the XD line of handguns. The grip safety on the XDm is not intrusive, so I consider it a plus, though not really necessary. You can count on the XD to shoot as well as the Glock. At least that has been my experience, and I own both.
Go shoot a Walter PPQ.....then the choice will be simple.
Glock 26 is a nice gun for IWB conceal. Too big for pocket. I conceal the Beretta Nano in my pocket. If you just want a range gun go full size. I really like the feel of the Beretta 92. It is an excellent range gun.
At the end of the day it must feel right in your hand. A gun purchase is like a girlfriend. You may think you have the best looking but I may disagree. In your mind she is the best looking and that is what is most important.
Glock, glock, glock
What do the cops got? They got the glock
Thanks for the comments. I really didn't want to drive 2 hours again to find a range to shoot a XDm so I made a decision to go ahead and make a purchase. I went to look at the XDm, thinking I might walk out the door with it. However, I was not as satisfied with the feel of the gun without the extended mag. Plus, I had only budgeted $650 for the purchase (with tax) and at $590, the XDm would have left me with only enough money for one box of range ammo.
I decided on the Glock. Got a Gen 4 Glock 19 w/3 magazines. (Paid $535 which was cheapest I could find locally.) Also bought a nice holster (nicer than what came with the XDm), box of range ammo, and a 25rd box of Horandy Zombie Max defensive ammo.
I feel good about the purchase and have no regrets, thinking it was the best decision for me. Can't wait to get to a range and put some ammo through it.
Thanks again for the help. Looking forward to learning more from this forum!
Congrats....safe shooting......JJ
You did good so congrats.
You did good. There was no wrong answer between those two guns.
I agree with the comments here - both the Glock and the XDm are excellent guns. This question is almost like asking "Ford or Chevy?" You'll have your die-hard Glock fanatics that will never own anything else. Then you have your XDm folks that will refuse to shoot anything other than Springfield. I too am fairly new to owning a handgun and a friend of mine that is former military gave me the best advice when I went to buy one - go out, handle as many as you like and pick out the one that feels the best to you. What might feel great and comfortable to the guy standing next to you may feel uncomfortable to you. I ended up with a Sig P250c and I love it. Do your research and you'll come across something that will just feel right in your hands. Best of luck to you!
Me too, I bought a Sig P250c 40sw. Great shooter.

Small victory: The decision to keep building Astras at Ellesmere Port secures the plant run by former Holden manufacturing director Martyn Cray.
18 May 2012
and HAITHAM RAZAGUI
OPEL has confirmed its Astra small car will continue be built at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port production facility in north-east England and Gliwice in southern Poland when the next-generation model begins production in 2015.
The decision provides a stay of execution until early next decade for Ellesmere Port, which is managed by former Holden manufacturing director Martyn Cray, who recently returned to the UK to take up the position of plant manager.
The Opel brand launches here in September, with Astra supply for Australia to be split from the outset between Ellesmere Port and Gliwice.
Uncertainty had been hanging over the plant's 2100 workers for some time, but the move from producing the Astra in three plants on two shifts to two plants on three shifts will result in 700 new jobs being created at Ellesmere Port when the new car arrives.
A further boost for the region's economy – which has also benefited from Land Rover's success with the Range Rover Evoque that is built at Halewood near Liverpool – comes with the decision to increase the amount of local content in the next Astra to at least 25 per cent.
Vauxhall Motors chairman and managing director Duncan Aldred said doubling the Astra's British-sourced content would result in £1 billion ($A1.59b) of purchases into the UK economy during the model's lifecycle, leading to the creation of more than 3000 jobs.
Vauxhall chairman and MD Duncan Aldred, UK Ellesmere Port factory, Polish Gliwice factory.In addition, General Motors' European arm is investing £125 million ($A200m) in upgrading Ellesmere Port to meet the latest manufacturing standards in readiness for the new Astra.
Ellesmere Port will serve as the Astra's lead factory, running in three shifts with at least 160,000 cars built per year – but Mr Aldred said the upgraded plant will be able to run at record-breaking pace of more than 220,000 units annually if required.
The Gliwice facility in Poland was established in 1998, and Opel intends to use its home plant at Russelsheim – which currently builds the Insignia mid-sizer alongside the Astra – to produce other models once current Astra is retired.
Mr Aldred said that, in addition to the five-door hatch, Ellesmere Port will take sole responsibility for building another Astra model line – either the wagon or GTC coupe – and that this decision would be made in coming weeks.
The decision to keep Astra production at Ellesmere Port is the result of a new worker-approved labour agreement that runs through the lifecycle of the next Astra and is designed to increase flexibility and reduce fixed costs, making it one of the most competitive plants available to GM Europe.
Mr Aldred said the agreement "takes manufacturing in the UK here at Vauxhall Motors into the 21st Century".
"It will deliver hitherto unprecedented levels of flexibility both for the workforce and the manufacturing base we have here.
"It will enable 51-week working and do away with the somewhat old-fashioned factory closures which have been in the UK workplace for centuries, which will be replaced with more flexibility, which will in turn increase the capacity of the plant."
Opel/Vauxhall CEO Karl-Friedrich Stracke said Ellesmere Port and Gliwice will become "cornerstones of our European manufacturing footprint".
"I am pleased that we were able to develop responsible labour agreements that secure the future of these plants.
"With the proven quality of the products built in Ellesmere Port and Gliwice, and the new agreements and the flexibility and cost competitiveness of these facilities, they will be cornerstones of our European manufacturing footprint."
The Astra announcement is part of a wider strategy announced by Mr Stracke earlier this week aimed at turning loss-making Opel/Vauxhall around.
Opel's 10-point plan aims to reduce the cost of building cars, expand alliances beyond GM's recent tie-up with PSA Peugeot Citroen, and potentially running factories closer to capacity by building Chevrolets.
It also includes an €11 billion ($A14.2b) program of new model launches, three new engines and expansion into overseas markets like Australia.

THAILAND'S Ministry of Tourism and Sports plans to seek 1.5 billion baht (US$50.62 million) in funds during today's Cabinet meeting to revive tourism in areas affected by floods.
The recent floods affected 47 Thai provinces, with many parts of 17 provinces still under floodwaters, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand's flood watch.
MoTS permanent-secretary Sombat Kuruphan said damages caused by the floods were estimated at about 20-30 billion baht.
Kuruphan said the proposed budget would comprise 960 million baht for tourism promotion, focusing especially on domestic travellers, and 540 million baht for product rehabilitation and support.
"The requested amount is sound when compared to the overall tourism receipt of about one trillion baht a year," he said.
The ministry will also seek the Cabinet's approval on stimulus measures including the extension of tourist visa fee exemptions introduced last year, as well as encourage local government agencies and state enterprises to hold meetings, seminars and trainings in areas affected by the floods.

Towards a More General Approach to Testing the Time Additivity Hypothesis, Discussion Paper No 98
Wong, Gary (2001) Towards a More General Approach to Testing the Time Additivity Hypothesis, Discussion Paper No 98. [Working Paper] (Unpublished)
A new procedure is proposed for re-examining the assumption of additivity of preferences over time which, although untenable, is usually maintained in intertemporal analyses of consumption and labour supply. The method is an extension of a famous work by Browning (1991). However, it is more general in permitting the estimation of Frisch demands, which are explicit in an unobservable variable (price of utility), but may lack a closed form representation in terms of observable variables such as prices and total outlay. It also makes an extensive use of duality theory to solve the endogeneity problem encountered in Browning's study. Applying this method with an appropriate estimator to the Australian disaggregate data, we find that the intertemporal additivity hypothesis is decisively rejected, which is consistent with Browning's conclusion. Results also indicate that the effects of lagged and future prices in determining current consumption decisions are insubstantial.

How can I remove broken bit from magnetic bit holder?
I was using a bit extender with magnetic bit holder. When I started using it, I was amazed at how powerful the magnets were--it was tough to get a bit out. Now I've got a broken bit and can't get a good grip to pull out what's left. Any thoughts on what to do? (Temporarily) neutralize the magnet--is that even possible? drill out the broken bit? Thanks.
Clamp the extender in a bench vise and use a pair of pliers to tug the broken bit straight out. By the by how exactly break your bit, and what kind were you using?
maybe epoxy or super glue a small nail head to whats left of the bit?need to be careful not to glue everything together:huh:
If all else fails, here is one type replacement
or you can get rid of the magnet
Or even one with a right angle
or maybe a stronger magnet?:)
or spend 2 dollars on a new apex....
Vise it and hit it with a torch, the magnet will die and let the bit go, and the glue holding the magnet in will burn away and the magnet will fall out too. Glue in new magnet and you're good to go.
Or use a screw extractor:whistling2:

Atlanta • A new government report is the first evidence of a national decline in childhood obesity, health officials said Tuesday.
In 18 states there were at least slight declines in obesity for low-income preschoolers.
Previous national statistics show obesity rates have been rising for decades and recently were essentially flat, although some places have reported improvements, like Philadelphia and New York City and the state of Mississippi. But the report from the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention shows signs of a wider-ranging improvement.
"Now, for the first time, we're seeing a significant decrease in childhood obesity" nationally, said Thomas Frieden, CDC director.
Still, 1 in 8 preschoolers are obese in the United States, and it's even more common in black and Hispanic kids.
Preschoolers who are overweight or obese are five times more likely than other children to be heavy as adults, which means greater risks of high cholesterol, high blood sugar, asthma and even mental health problems.
Utah wasn't included in the study, which was based on height and weight data on nearly 12 million low-income children in 40 states. The children were ages 2, 3 and 4. Most were enrolled in the federal Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program which provides food vouchers and other services.
Utah's WIC data system was being upgraded during the study period, said Patrice Isabella, a nutrition coordinator at the Utah Department of Health.
Utah does have WIC data for 2009, which shows about 8.8 percent of preschoolers in the program were obese, compared with 12 percent nationally.
But data collected from a random sample of public schools suggests no change from 2008 to 2012 in the number of first and fifth graders in Utah who are overweight or obese, said Isabella.
It's harder to get national data on preschoolers of more affluent families, so it's not clear if the national trend applies to all young children. But experts note that low-income kids tend to be heavier.
"If you're going to look at the problem of obesity early in childhood, the group at highest risk are low-income kids. That's what makes this data so valuable for understanding trends in this major public health problem," said Dr. Matthew Davis, a University of Michigan researcher who tracks health policy and children's health issues.
The biggest declines were in Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey and South Dakota. Each saw their obesity numbers fall at least 1 percentage point.
Despite the improvements, the numbers are still disappointing. Hawaii was the best, with about 9 percent of low-income preschoolers estimated to be obese in 2011. California was worst, at nearly 17 percent.
Ten states were not included; some had changed how they track height and weight. One of the missing states is Texas, which has one of the largest populations of low-income children and is known to have a significant problem with childhood obesity.
Of the remaining 40 states, 18 showed at least slight improvement and 19 had no significant change. Three Colorado, Pennsylvania and Tennessee increased.
The last CDC study to look at childhood obesity data this way found very different results. From 2003 to 2008, significant declines in preschooler obesity were seen in only nine states and increases were seen in 24 states.
"We're seeing great progress," said the CDC's Ashleigh May, lead author of the new study.
The report didn't answer why some states improved while most others held steady, and Davis said there's a pressing need to do more research and understand how some states achieved success.
CDC officials said a change in WIC policies probably played a major role. The changes instituted in 2009 eliminated juice from infant food packages, provided less saturated fat, and made it easier to buy fruits and vegetables.
Breast-feeding rates have been increasing, and kid's raised on mother's milk tend to have lower obesity rates, experts said.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Your swelling may be from Mastoiditis, an infection of the bone behind the ear, or from an enlarged lymph node. Mastoiditis is a bacterial infection of the mastoid air cells (small, air-filled cavities located in the mastoid process, which is the bulge in the skull behind the ear). This is something you will definitely need to see your Dr about.
Lymph nodes play an important part in the body's defense against infection. Swelling might occur even if the infection is trivial or not even apparent.
I would not put heat or cold on the area and try not to push on the area.
If your swelling does not completely resolve or you are not significantly better by tomorrow or you start to develop pain, you will need to be examined by your physician for possible antibiotics and further testing.
Hope this helps!
PLEASE NOTE: The $$$ that you have put down as a deposit will not go to me until you click "ACCEPT" after reading your answer. Otherwise, it will be held by JustAnswer.com and I will not receive credit for my time and efforts.
Please ask for clarification if needed.
So, you find it unlikely this would have anything to do with cancer?
Also, I have a very rare skin disease called TMEP...as you would guess the M stands for Mastosis.
But the lump is right below the bone bulge, not directly over it...
Can you clarify the above?
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX I will leave you alone...(because my wife says it is time for bed!!!)
Thanks for the reply back
Saying whether or not the lump or bump (or swelling) has anything to do with cancer is very very difficult to say...would say impossible to do over the net. I wish we had the ability to diagnose and even see our clients we talk to on here but it is just not possible in this stage of technology.
Telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans has not been associated with the development of malignant conditions. (when you have time, you can read more about that here.)
The area is still pretty consistant with Mastoiditis or even just a swollen lymph node from a nearby infection that you might not even realize you have.

Catherine Zeta-Jones' Battle with Bi-Polar Disorder
Posted Thursday April 14, 2011 9:13 AM GMT
She's been an unending source of support for her husband Michael Douglas as he fought his bout with cancer, and now Catherine Zeta-Jones has her own battle with Bi-Polar Disorder.
According to her rep, the "No Reservations" actress has checked into a facility for a few days to treat her ailment.
The spokesperson also acknowledged that the timing of Catherine's treatment has much to do with "the stress of the past year."
A pal of the 41-year-old actress told press, "Catherine has had to deal with Michael's illness, and that's been hard. She went in for a few days because she's about to start working, and to make sure she's in top form, which she is."

It's ironic how I'd been saying Yishun's such a blardy inconvenient place to stay. I'm actually starting to like it. And just as I'm starting to feel a little affection towards the place, we're going to move again. Ah ahhh~
My eyes still hurt, I really have to keep reminding myself that I have to go to the doctors.

As promised, Crytek and Electronic Arts have finally released a PC version of the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo that will give fans of the first-person shooter title a taste of what CryEngine 3 has to offer on state of the art hardware. Just like the previously exclusive Xbox 360 demo, this release includes two maps and two game modes for users to try out.
The first map, Skyline, is set along New York rooftops and is playable in Team Deathmatch. The second, Pier 17, is a more open map that's playable in Crash Site mode -- a variant of King of the Hill where you will fight for control of alien drop pods and rack up points in the process. The 1.6GB download can be picked up from our download section.
The full Crysis 2 multiplayer will include six gameplay modes: Instant Action, Team Instant Action, Crash Site, Capture the Relay, Extraction and Assault, set across 12 maps in Cryteks recreation of the New York City, featuring a 50-level progression system and unlockable Nanosuit upgrades. The game will be hitting PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 platforms on March 22 for U.S. gamers, then a few days following on March 25 for European residents.

Bought my latest (hopefully last) CRX last year - was winging it based on my knowledge of cars,
Not a horrible deal for 900 bucks.
Then I heard someone mention to ALWAYS check out the CARFAX When buying these things. So I logged in and see there were 13 incidents for my car. Hmmm. It's had a few bumps (repaired) and a replaced engine, but from my visual, nothing too bad.
It costs $30 to see the full report so I passed. Just a funny story I guess.
What's your experience been with CARFAX?

Slow drain is still slow
Tried you're standard drano at first. Sink still filled up with water and drained very slow. Today I took the drain apart and found no clog. I then ran a snake through the rest of the drain, pulled out a few small clumps of what looked like hair, but nothing major. I ran the snake down atleast 20 feet through the drain. I put everything back together, turn the water on, and the sink fills up with water again. What gives? :mad:
How clear and effective is the vent?
Need to spray the nest before i try to shove something down the pipe to break it apart. Wish me luck. lol
Soak them down with wasp-and-hornet spray and try to remove the nest instead of pushing it down (with a plumber's snake).
Flush the vetn pipe down with a garden hose to make sure that all else is cleared out.
Good luck!
Ok guys, here's what i did today.
Killed the hornets nest and removed most of it.
Ran a hose down the vent pipe with a high pressure nozzle attached to the end and ran the water. Water backed up in the kitchen sink.
Shoved a 10 ft piece of pvc down the vent and only about 5 ft made it through before i couldn't go any farther.

Run your drain cable down your vent. Listen for the water to drop when the drain opens. Also you may want to cable through the trap arm again.
Is this the kitchen or lav drain?
Did your cable come back greasy?
How far did you run the cable?
How far does it run before tying into the main?
A little greasy.
Didnt use a cable, just straight 1/2in pvc pipe, made it down about 5ft from the top of the vent,
Not sure how far it is to the main.
When you originally put everything back together and turned the water on, how quickly did it back up? Was it immediately or did it take a while? You can kind of guess how far the blockage is by that. If it was almost immediately then you most likely went past the blockage when you ran the cable. If it's a soft greasy blockage; then the cable may have gone through it, but closes itself back off when you pull the cable out. In which case you would need to put some bends in your cable and run it in and out with a scrubbing like motion. Have you tried plunging it?
When you ran a piece of PVC down the vent you were most likely just hitting the first bend at the bottom of the stack. Also, a ventilation problem wouldn't cause a solid blockage (no drainage at all). It would cause it to gurgle, bubble, and drain slowly.
call a drain company. Those cheapo little home handyman drain snakes are next to useless.
Even if you get to the clog all those spindly snakes will do is punch a hole through it, they will not pull the crap out of the drain. A kinetic water ram might do the trick but if you don't know what you are doing it will make a mess that words can't describe.:thumbsup:
