Sometimes, bees don't want to be domesticated. The rules of nature, laid down in genetic code and behavioral norms over hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, are difficult to bend. John Knight discovered this while exploring beekeeping as a new hobby.
While a newborn queen may seem ruthless, the success of a beehive hinges on allegiance to its queen. Though she can mate with an average of 12 different drones, there is only one queen, which makes for a hive of closely related bees. As a new queen begins to produce her own pheromones, the hive slowly aligns with her as the old bees die and new workers hatch. In a sense, the hive is genetically wired to be loyal to the monarchy. If the hive was to raise multiple queens, or if the workers were to start laying eggs, the interests of the population would slowly fracture.
Despite progress in recent years on causes and cures, colony collapse disorder has wreaked havoc on honeybee colonies across the country.
A mysterious malady that has been killing honeybees en masse for several years appears to have expanded drastically in the last year, commercial beekeepers say, wiping out 40 percent or even 50 percent of the hives needed to pollinate many of the nation's fruits and vegetables.
Which is like, yeah, big whoop, it's just bees, right? Except that:
The Agriculture Department says a quarter of the American diet, from apples to cherries to watermelons to onions, depends on pollination by honeybees.
Michael O'Malley is a "human capital consultant" (whatever that is) but has also been a beekeeper for the past ten years. Here's what he's learned about how bees organize themselves and manage risk.
Take, for example, their approach toward the "too-big-to-fail" risk our financial sector famously took on. Honeybees have a failsafe preventive for that. It's: "Don't get too big." Hives grow through successive divestures or spin-offs: They swarm. When a colony gets too large, it becomes operationally unwieldy and grossly inefficient and the hive splits. Eventually, risk is spread across many hives and revenue sources in contrast to relying on one big, vulnerable "super-hive" for sustenance.
Here's another lesson by analogy: No queen bee is under pressure for quarterly pollen and nectar targets. The hive is only beholden to the long term. Indeed, beehives appear to underperform at times because they could collect more. But they are not designed to maximize current returns; they are designed to prevent cycles of feast and famine (a death sentence in the natural world). They concentrate their foraging on the most lucrative patches but keep an exploratory force in the field that will ensure future revenue sources when the current ones run dry. This exploratory force (call it an R&D expenditure) increases as conditions worsen.
First there was the mini cannon. Now someone has built a tiny catapult to hurl 3mm-wide pies at bees and other insects. No, seriously! Here's the slow motion evidence. (thx, liz)
Cutest thing you'll see all day: these Turkish bees use flower petals to build colorful little nests that look like flowers themselves.
Looks like something straight out of Martha Stewart Living.
One of the vehicles involved in a deadly car crash in Minnesota today was a truck carrying bees. First responders to the scene faced what was described as a "big black cloud" of bees. Firefighters were spraying the trucks with hoses to subdue the bees because they don't fly in the rain (the bees, not the trucks). I can only imagine a few things worse than this, one of which is an accident involving a truck full of sharks.
The truck that crashed carried upwards of 17 million bees; each of the trucks carried 700 hives, with about 25,000 bees per hive, said Dale Bauer of Bauer Honey Inc. of Fertile, Minn. The bees were being shipped to North Dakota after spending the winter in Mississippi. There was no immediate estimate of how many of the bees escaped.
NYC's Board of Health has lifted the ban on keeping bees in the city.
The unanimous vote amends the health code to allow residents to keep hives of Apis mellifera, the common, nonaggressive honeybee. Beekeepers will be required to register with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and to adhere to appropriate practices. That means they must be able to control bee swarms and ensure that the hives do not interfere with pedestrians or neighbors.
Ten dollars says my wife utters the following words to me tonight: "we should raise some bees on the roof!"
A species of orchid from Israel that looks and smells like a female bee tricks male long-horned bees into pollinating them.
Update: Michael Pollan recently discussed orchids in a piece for National Geographic.
Update: There was a scene in Adaptation about the bee orchid. (thx, charley)
As reported previously, colony collapse disorder seems to have multiple causes. In the NY Times' Room for Debate blog, several scientists and other bee experts offer their commentary on what we currently know about CCD and what's being done about it.
Meanwhile, individual beekeeping operations have been damaged, some beyond repair because of this malady. Others have been able to recover. The overall picture is, however, not quite as bleak as the press and the blogosphere might lead you to imagine. Colony numbers in the U.S. show the resiliency of American beekeepers.
On the Zeitgedächtnis, or time-sense, of honeybees.
Flowers of a given species all produce nectar at about the same time each day, as this increases the chances of cross-pollination. The trick works because pollinators, which in most cases means the honeybee, concentrate foraging on a particular species into a narrow time-window. In effect the honeybee has a daily diary that can include as many as nine appointments — say, 10:00 a.m., lilac; 11:30 a.m., peonies; and so on. The bees' time-keeping is accurate to about 20 minutes.
Have Spanish scientists found a cure for colony collapse disorder, which affects millions of honeybees around the world? The sole cause, according to the scientists, is a fungal parasite called nosema ceranae. This finding doesn't jibe with the recent Scientific American article written by two American CCD investigators. They say that nosema is one factor out of many.
In the gut contents we found spores of nosema, single-celled fungal parasites that can cause bee dysentery. The spore counts in these and in subsequent samples, however, were not high enough to explain the losses. Molecular analysis of Hackenberg's bees, performed by the other of us (Cox-Foster), also revealed surprising levels of viral infections of various known types. But no single pathogen found in the insects could explain the scale of the disappearance.

Update: Some beekeepers have solved bee death problems in their hives by using comb with smaller cell sizes.
In case you weren't aware, and I wasn't for a long time, the foundation in common usage by beekeepers results in much larger bees than what you would find in a natural hive. I've measured sections of natural worker brood comb that are 4.6mm in diameter. This 4.6mm comb was drawn by a hive of commercial Carniolans and this 4.7mm comb was drawn on the first try by a package of commercial Carniolans. What most beekeepers use for worker brood is foundation that is 5.4mm in diameter. If you translate that into three dimensions, instead of one, that produces a bee that is about half again as large as is natural. By letting the bees build natural sized cells, I have virtually eliminated my Varroa and Tracheal mite problems.
The cell size in commercially available combs has been increased over the years to increase the honey yield. (thx, brian)
In an article for Scientific American, two scientists who are working on the causes of colony collapse disorder (CCD) say that they and other researchers have made some progress in determining what's killing all of those bees.
The growing consensus among researchers is that multiple factors such as poor nutrition and exposure to pesticides can interact to weaken colonies and make them susceptible to a virus-mediated collapse. In the case of our experiments in greenhouses, the stress of being confined to a relatively small space could have been enough to make colonies succumb to IAPV and die with CCD-like symptoms.
It's like AIDS for bees…the lowered immunity doesn't kill directly but makes the bees more susceptible to other illness. One the techniques researchers used in investigating CDD is metagenomics. Instead of singling out an organism for analysis, they essentially mixed together a bunch of genetic material found in the bees (including any bacteria, virii, parasites, etc.) and sliced it up into small pieces that were individually deciphered. They went through those pieces one by one and assigned them to known organisms until they ran across something unusual.
The CSI-style investigation greatly expanded our general knowledge of honeybees. First, it showed that all samples (CCD and healthy) had eight different bacteria that had been described in two previous studies from other parts of the world. These findings strongly suggest that those bacteria may be symbionts, perhaps serving an essential role in bee biology such as aiding in digestion. We also found two nosema species, two other fungi and several bee viruses. But one bee virus stood out, as it had never been identified in the U.S.: the Israeli acute paralysis virus, or IAPV.
A bill sponsored by Council Member David Yassky would legalize beekeeping in NYC for license holders. David Graves must be tickled.
Scientists are still trying to figure out what's causing CCD, or Colony Collapse Disorder, a plague that's killing off millions of bee across the United States. Among the possible culprits are a virus, increased vulnerability to disease due to breeding, overwork (hives of bees are trucked around the country for months to pollinate crops), increased exposure to all kinds of insecticides, and perhaps even all of the above.
Whatever the cause, Aaron Hirsh says, the way to keep our crops pollinated could be simple: restore habitats for wild bees near crops that need to be pollinated.
As the swift expansion of feral honeybees across the Americas shows, they are not especially picky about their habitat; most anything outside of parking lot or vast monoculture will do. And for native bees, habitat could be restored to suit the needs of whichever species are exceptionally good pollinators of local crops. Bumblebees, for instance, are the best pollinators of Maine blueberries, whereas blue orchard bees work well for California almonds.
Hirsh's idea is reminiscent of Michael Pollan's proposals for decreasing the present monoculture in American agriculture outlined in his recent books.

Interview with David Graves, NYC beekeeper.
For Berkshire bees, quitting time is about 5 pm. New York City bees, they work harder and longer. And as you can see, we're here before 7 am, and these bees are already starting to work, whereas the country bees won't be opening the doors till about 9 am. And these city bees will still be hard at work at 7 tonight! Maybe it's because it's warmer here or maybe it's the city lights. Whatever it is, they definitely work longer hours.
Graves is one of a number of New York City beekeepers who defy the city health code and risk the $2000 fine levied upon its violation.
But in New York, bees are reprobate and illegal. They appear in the City Health Code's Section 161.01, along with an enormous list of animals "naturally inclined to do harm or capable of inflicting harm," lumped in with the truly ferocious/impractical-polar bear, cougar, alligator, whale-and a menagerie of the truly obscure. Actively encouraged by almost every other self-respecting cultural capital, the common honey bee, according to Health Department logic, must be banished along with binturongs, sea kraits, coatimundis, numbats and zorilles.
Graves has been at this awhile…a NY Times article called him the "Johnny Appleseed of New York beedom" in 1999.
All right, but why beekeeping? "After you do it, everything else in life is calm," said Mr. Solomon, the investment banker. "Let me tell you, 40,000 bees will teach you the power of concentration and patience."
Graves' "Rooftop Magic" Honey is available for purchase online. Some say that eating local honey helps with seasonal allergies but evidence is scarce. Oh and you can order your own package of bees here…three pounds of Buckfast with a queen is just $130. (via clusterflock)
The NY Times Magazine is out with its annual Year in Ideas issue. 2007 was the year of green — green energy, green manufacturing, and even a green Nobel Prize for Al Gore — and environmentalism featured heavily on the Times' list. But I found some of the other items on the list more interesting.
Ambiguity Promotes Liking. Sometimes the more you learn about a person or a situation, the more likely you are to be disappointed:
Why? For starters, initial information is open to interpretation. "And people are so motivated to find somebody they like that they read things into the profiles," Norton says. If a man writes that he likes the outdoors, his would-be mate imagines her perfect skiing companion, but when she learns more, she discovers "the outdoors" refers to nude beaches. And "once you see one dissimilarity, everything you learn afterward gets colored by that," Norton says.
I'm an optimistic pessimist by nature; I believe everything in my life will eventually average out for the better but I assume the worst of individual situations for the reasons proposed in the article above. That way, when I assume something isn't going to work out, I'm rarely disappointed.
The Best Way to Deflect an Asteroid involves a technique called "mirror bees".
The best method, called "mirror bees," entails sending a group of small satellites equipped with mirrors 30 to 100 feet wide into space to "swarm" around an asteroid and trail it, Vasile explains. The mirrors would be tilted to reflect sunlight onto the asteroid, vaporizing one spot and releasing a stream of gases that would slowly move it off course. Vasile says this method is especially appealing because it could be scaled easily: 25 to 5,000 satellites could be used, depending on the size of the rock.
What an elegant and easily implemented solution. But Armageddon and Deep Impact would have been a whole lot less entertaining using Dr. Vasile's approach.
The Cat-Lady Conundrum. More than 60 million Americans are infected with Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that most people get from their cats. And it's not exactly harmless:
Jaroslav Flegr, an evolutionary biologist at Charles University in the Czech Republic, is looking into it. He has spent years studying Toxo's impact on human behavior. (He found, for example, that people infected with Toxo have slower reflexes and are 2.5 times as likely to get into car accidents.)
This may explain why I can't seem to get past "Easy" on Guitar Hero.
The Honeycomb Vase is actually made by bees. One unintended consequence of having a vase made out of beeswax is that flowers last longer in it:
Libertiny is convinced that flowers last longer in them, because beeswax contains propolis, an antibacterial agent that protects against biological decay. "We found out by accident," he explains. "We had a bouquet, which was too big for the beeswax vase, so we put half of the flowers in a glass vase. We noticed the difference after a week or so.
Prison Poker. This is a flat out brilliantly simple idea:
[Officer Tommy Ray] made his own deck of cards, each bearing information about a different local criminal case that had gone cold. He distributed the decks in the Polk County jail. His hunch was that prisoners would gossip about the cases during card games, and somehow clues or breaks would emerge and make their way to the authorities. The plan worked. Two months in, as a result of a tip from a card-playing informant, two men were charged with a 2004 murder in a case that had gone cold.
The Gomboc is the world's first Self-Righting Object.
It leans off to one side, rocks to and fro as if gathering strength and then, presto, tips itself back into a "standing" position as if by magic. It doesn't have a hidden counterweight inside that helps it perform this trick, like an inflatable punching-bag doll that uses ballast to bob upright after you whack it. No, the Gomboc is something new: the world's first self-righting object.
More information is available on the Gomboc web site.
You can order a Gomboc for €80 + S&H.
Update: The Gomboc is available for sale but it doesn't come cheap. The €80 version is basically a paperweight with a Gomboc shape carved out of it. It's €1000+ for a real Gomboc, which is ridiculous. (thx, nick)
GOOD Magazine lists seven instances in which the old-fashioned way still works best, including the use of maggots for cleaning wounds, beekeeping, and letterpress printing.
The basic idea of beekeeping is still the same as it was in the 1800s. The Langstroth hive is named after the scientist who first discovered what we called bee space-three eighths of an inch. That's their travel space, they won't junk it up with honey or anything. Beekeepers take advantage of that, and that's how the hives work.
Langstroth's crucial insight — "I could scarcely refrain from shouting 'Eureka!' in the open streets," he wrote of the moment of revelation — was the concept of "bee space." He realized that while honeybees will seal up passageways that are either too large or too small, they will leave open passages that are just the right size to allow a bee to pass through comfortably. Langstroth determined that if frames were placed at this "bee-space" interval of three-eighths of an inch, bees would build honeycomb that could be lifted from the hive, rather than, as was the practice up to that point, sliced or hacked out of it. He patented L. L. Langstroth's Movable Comb Hive in 1852. Today's version consists of a number of rectangular boxes-the number is supposed to grow during the season-open at the top and at the bottom. Each box is equipped with inner lips from which frames can be hung, like folders in a filing drawer, and each frame comes with special tabs to preserve bee space.
So says Elizabeth Kolbert in an article about colony-collapse disorder, a bee disease that's wreaking havoc on beehives and food production around the US. Bee space! I'm unsure whether similar research has been done to determine the proper "human space", although the placement of houses in a suburb, tables in a restaurant, blankets at the beach, or social space in elevators might provide some clues as to the proper measurement.
But returning to the bees, a coalition of scientists working on the problem has found a correlation between bee deaths and Israeli acute paralysis virus. An infusion of bees from Australia in 2004 may also have contributed to the disorder's development. Full details are available on EurekAlert.
Honeybee populations across the US are falling due to a mysterious disease. "Almond crops are immediately vulnerable because they rely on honeybee pollination at this time of year. And the insect decline could potentially affect other crops later in the year, such as apples and blueberries."

The Federal Court has gagged a controversial unionist from speaking to the press after he allegedly threatened to run a "media campaign" against a Perth construction company if it didn't sign up to a union agreement.
A judge's decision to place an interim injunction on
Union officials could not respond to questions yesterday other than to confirm they were subject to a court injunction from speaking about the Diploma issue.
The Australian Building and Construction Commissioner, which is pursuing the case, alleges in court documents Mr McDonald made threats to Diploma Construction managing director
Mr McDonald allegedly told Mr Norup that Diploma had one week to agree to a building enterprise agreement or face a negative media campaign and work stoppages that would impede on Diploma's ability to secure future contracts.
Worth $110 million, the development contract for the Frasers Property Australia-owned mixed use development is at present Diploma's biggest contract.
Mr McDonald has previously said Diploma's version of events was inaccurate.
Court records show the building commission has issued nine subpoenas – including one targeting The Australian Financial Review – after accusing Mr McDonald of falsely telling media outlets that some sub-contractors have not been paid for months and that Diploma cheques had bounced.
Mr McDonald and other officials also allegedly "blocked access to the site for some 10 minutes".
One sub-contractor told the Financial Review in mid-June that there were some problems with payments that were yet to be resolved with the company.
A hearing in the Federal Court in Perth is scheduled for next week.
The construction commissioner is a government regulator that has a mandate to oversee "fair and productive building and construction work".
A spokesman for the commission said it had nine WA matters before the courts involving the CFMEU.
Diploma chief executive
The disagreement represents a substantial souring in relations between Diploma and the union.
The relationship was once very strong, due to a certified federal agreement between the union and the company.
Mr McDonald was arrested and charged this month for breaching a move-on order at the East Perth development. Earlier this year, he was charged with trespassing on a different Diploma construction site.
The Construction Commissioner is also pursuing Mr McDonald over an incident at an unrelated Perth development.
Mr McDonald and other union organisers are alleged to have told the site manager of an Arccon project the CFMEU would not allow a Terry's Crane Hire operator to remain on the site, court documents say.
The CFMEU and Mr McDonald are defending that action.
The commissioner asked the Federal Court to impose a fine for the incident that could be as high as $6600 for an individual and $33,000 for an organisation.

2140 Broadway, Schenectady, NY
16,000 square foot CHURCH
*Large Sanctuary
*Fellowship Hall with Stage and Kitchen
7,750 square foot SCHOOL
*Kitchen & Dining Area
All the "Democrats" on the Schenectady City Council voted to demolish this community center in order for a merchant to erect a store that sells cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, gasoline and high fructose corn syrup sweetened ice cream.
How will the demolition work to rebuild the community center that once was this church?
What infrastructure do walkable communities need in order to thrive?
This church is surrounded by other community and civic buildings. Another church sits right next door. Another school sits across the street. A public school is within the skyline. It has the infrastructure necessary to build upon the current community engagement. Instead of working to find solutions to grow community assets, the Schenectady government is destroying them for a few measly dollars.
What I found particularly striking today on my visit to the church, was that there is another Stewart's just down the street. You can actually see the very top of the church's bell steeple from the sidewalk of the CURRENT STEWART'S 600 feet away! Why do they need two locations on Broadway within such a short distance. What is wrong with their current location where they have been for decades? Why is their greed so great that they need to tear down a church?
2/3rds of Stewart's is owned by the X family. 1/3rd is owned by the employees. Did the employee shareholders approve of this deal? Do Stewart's employees want it to demolish a community sanctuary in Schenectady?
How does one explain to a child why the city government wants to tear down a church? An institution she begs her father to go to with regularity.
Church built in 1922. History unknown.
"BaBa, why are they going to tear down this church? Is it open?"
Below is a building next to the two churches. Unknown connection to the two community institutions. Significant structures clustered around the religious center of the neighborhood.
The religious center of the neighborhood. Two churches, two faiths, one community.
Two churches and two schools. A great place for children. The school on the right is currently, at least partially, a day-care.
Below is the school yard across from the two churches, another church is visible beyond the basketball hoop.
The kicker, the steeple of the church is visible from the current Stewart's sidewalk. It is above the white house across and up the street.

'Bigger' Data, and Better Ways to Use It
New NAHAD Benchmarking/BI Program Planned in 2014
Over the past two years, NAHAD has served on an industry task group seeking to build a far more powerful, timely and robust Business Intelligence / Benchmarking program, to replace the long-standing annual NAHAD Distributor Profit Report. The new program would allow easy, online data submission, more timely data updating, complete dashboard-style access to all data and the ability to analyze a wide range of outputs, reports and comparisons.
The task force's efforts will culminate this week in the formation of an LLC, comprised of five industrial distribution associations, including NAHAD, which will move the process forward. The LLC will then select the vendor to build out the new program, for delivery in early 2014. "We are very hopeful that this new program will offer our participating distributors 'best-in-class' tools and functionality that will truly allow them to make intelligent decisions to strengthen their businesses," states NAHAD's Executive Vice President Joseph Thompson.
NAHAD leaders, along with representatives of the four other associations, have been working hard on this effort. NAHAD's Education & Services Committee chair, Chris Geib of Geib Industries will be joined by NAHAD president, Terry Weiner, of Abbott Rubber Company, as well as Joseph Thompson and Molly Thompson, NAHAD Conference Manager at the one-day meeting in Chicago this week. Karen Brandvold, of Omni Services, also serves on the task group.
With a launch expected in 2014, NAHAD members will learn more about the project in upcoming NAHAD Newsletters and in other announcements.

It might be the newest derby in world football, but, for intensity at least, you wouldn't know it. This Sydney derby was another white-hot edition, with all the trimmings.
Western Sydney would take the points this time, as they did last time, but for the first time at Parramatta Stadium. Having to wait until the 87th minute for the winner will make it extra special when it gets recounted many years from now.
How the roar must have reverberated back down Victoria Road when Brendon Santalab was left in a paddock of space. Vedran Janjetovic tried to stop him but the substitute had the patience to poke the ball home.
Despite the visitors' battling manner, the Wanderers deserved the win, having controlled the 90 minutes with authority – not to mention hitting the woodwork four times in the first half.
Remarkably, it also featured a lad of barely 16, Daniel Alessi, taking the first steps of what already promises to be a long career. He made a splendid debut in replacing Jerome Polenz at right-back.
As with any great derby, the action began before kick-off – although not in the stands as certain observers might have hoped – with Aaron Mooy replacing Mateo Poljak.
Such are the endless ducks and drakes played by the Wanderers that it was hard to tell if the injury, said to have been sustained in the warm-up, was legitimate. We'll take their word for it.
The story of the game early was most certainly Alessi. Where most would sink, he swam like a seasoned pro.
Three minutes in, Ali Abbas looked to scorch the youngster with an open field beckoning but Alessi kept pace and won a free kick, drawing instantaneous trust from the home fans.
Their duel was fascinating: twice Alessi took the Iraqi for pace and he'll be able to tell his classmates on Monday that he once left Alessandro Del Piero face down. Del Piero was subsequently granted a free kick, but that's a needless detail.
Western Sydney looked to control the tempo but, inversely, that's not always how they like to play. It means they can't play on the break, which is where they traditionally do their most damaging work.
The Wanderers were looking to break Sydney's backs before the half-time interval and nearly did when Youssouf Hersi saw Janjetovic off his line.
Hersi, barely out of the centre-circle, floated an effort that would have been replayed around the world had it gone in.
Instead, it smacked into the underside of the bar.
Tomi Juric was first on the spot and all he had to do was nod the ball in, yet he replicated where Hersi bruised the bar. The stadium would have erupted in laughter if the stakes weren't so high.
One saddening sight was seeing Brett Emerton was culled five minutes after half-time.
The mind was more willing than the body; it has become a huge ask for him to play wide roles with the added running.
The former Socceroo ran high-fives across the bench as he exited but the hollow body language couldn't hide his disappointment.
Likewise, Del Piero was hauled off with 10 minutes to go. His performance was best summed by his final act: breaking into the clear before being beautifully pick-pocketed by the best-afield Matt Spiranovic.
Instead, youth would be Frank Farina's hope of stealing the points. First came Corey Gameiro and then Chris Naumoff, replacing the tireless Matt Thompson. Dylan Caton, another debutant, replaced Del Piero.
But it was another substitute who made the difference. Santalab might have made his name for Sydney FC for scoring spectacular goals, but he'll remember this tap in forever more.

County Judge, Veronica Escobar
EL PASO, TX -- The leaders of the 18 different governmental and taxing entities in the county got together to brainstorm new ways to work together and ultimately save taxpayer money.
The Shared Services Summit is the first of its kind in the state, promoting cooperation between taxing bodies.
Leaders hope that cooperation will reduce how often those bodies duplicate services and therefore charge taxpayers for those services.
"We're all interested in finding ways to save money. We're all interested in reducing the cost of government," says County Commissioner Veronica Escobar.
Those who attended the meeting came from El Paso City and County, Socorro, Vinton, Horizon, Anthony, and Clint. They joined representatives from the nine school districts, Thomason Hospital, and El Paso Community College.
The main ways the taxing bodies could save money is by combining resources in the Information Technology, Facilities Management, and Purchasing departments.
The commissioner tells ABC-7, reducing the cost to the taxpayer could be sharing facilities like future schools, parks, and buildings.
"It was the beginning of what we hope are continued relationships between governments so that we're thinking more collaboratively and efficiently along the lines of saving money in the long run," says Escobar.
A report detailing the governmental cooperation should be released in the next month.
The plan should be implemented over a year's time.

Business Degree Basics
In today's economy the business world is highly competitive. A business degree will prepare you for a wide variety of positions in the profit, non-profit and government sectors, increase your earning potential and open up new job opportunities.
Types of Business Degrees
Business is a broad field with many areas of focus. Below is just a sampling of the different types of business degree majors you can choose from.
- Business administration degree
- Entrepreneurship
- Business management degree
- Accounting
- Marketing
- International business degree
- Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
Before choosing a business degree program or school make sure you know which type of degree you want to obtain and only consider schools that offer that type of degree.
Getting an Online Business Degree
Want to get a business degree but don't think you have the time to earn one? Then consider your online options. Getting a business degree online offers you several unique advantages over attending a traditional brick and mortar college.
- Flexible schedule – take classes whenever you want
- Save time and money not having to travel to school
- Better ability to work while you're working on your degree
- Convenience of being in your own home
There are a few things to keep in mind before you choose an online business degree program.
Accreditation – The only online colleges you should consider are ones that are accredited. Over the last several years online colleges have been proving that they provide good educations but they aren't always held to the same standards as traditional colleges. Accreditation from reputable organizations, like the U.S. Department of Education, ensures that an online business degree program has met educational standards.
Employment – As alluded to above, there has been some apprehension in the past about the quality of business degrees earned online. They haven't been around nearly as long as many brick-and-mortar colleges and there have been unscrupulous organizations in the past that were better at taking students money than providing a good education. Again, that's why it's important that the online college you choose is accredited.
Discipline – Unlike traditional college where there's a professor taking roll each class, there's little accountability for online students. You have to be disciplined and responsible if you want to earn a business degree online. For some students this can prove to be a challenge and ultimately affect your grade and your ability to pass business degree classes. Make sure you have the discipline to do the work with little to no oversight.
Choosing Business Degree Programs & Schools
Students will be glad to know that you can earn a business degree at basically any college. However, no two business degree programs are the same. Business degrees cover a broad spectrum of information and some colleges will be better fit than others depending on your focus (management, finance, etc.)
Look for colleges that have a good reputation and long history of offering business degrees, internship programs and career counseling services.
If you want to get a masters in business or an MBA it pays to plan ahead. You don't have to have a business degree to apply and be accepted to a business school, but it definitely helps. Business schools will require:
- 5 to 6 completed courses in economics, statistics and calculus
- Strong grades and standardized test scores
- Pass the GMAT
Things to keep in mind when you're choosing a business school are the type of business degrees they offer (both subject matter and timeframe for completion), cost, reputation, teacher to student ratio, curriculum and job placement stats.

The lush campus of Oxford College is steeped in history. Built in 1836 as a Methodist liberal arts college, it was the birthplace of Emory University. During the Civil War it served as a hospital where soldiers wounded in the Battle of Atlanta were treated. For many, it was also where they came to die.
The hallowed grounds of Oxford Historical Cemetery and Tabernacle Cemetery hold the bones of hundreds. From former slaves to former leaders - families have been burying their dead in these cemeteries for hundreds of years. And legend has it that if you listen very closely as the day comes to a close, you can hear the voices of those laid to rest begin to speak once more.
Originally established as a cemetery for residents of Oxford and for those who were involved with Oxford College, the Oxford Historical Cemetery has approximately 1,000 graves, including several professors, ministers and Miss Kitty ...
It's been said that extreme violence leaves its mark on a place, and that those whose life ends in violence still wander the place they died. And legend has it, the Alcovy Trestle Bridge area is one of these places. According to some, it's the site of more than one ghost.
In the 1940s, the Alcovy Trestle Bridge is rumored to be the site of several hangings carried out by vigilantes who would bring young black men from Newton and surrounding counties to the trestle, walk them down the long tracks, then hang them from the portion of ...
Built in 1901, the old jail was home to many of Newton County's criminals until 1983 - and according to some, one person was even hung there. And although the jail is currently gutted, the ghosts of those who once called the cells home, still wander the crumbling hallways.
The old jail was once home to Newton County Sheriff's Department's Criminal Investigations Division and according to NCSO Captain Marty Roberts, it was then that many noticed the strange happenings in the building.
The original inhabitants of Gaither's Plantation may be long in their graves, but if dozens of visitors are to be believed, the dead still walk the halls of this 159-year-old plantation home.
The home was built by William Hulbert Gaither, who lived there with his wife Cecelia and their children. The cotton plantation sat on 875-acres of property in Newton and Jasper counties and was home to more than 130 slaves. The area was so large it was once called the "Gaither's District." The home was a site of multiple parties and the Gaither family was a popular ...

Steroid Shot for Hip Pain May Carry Infection Risk If Too Close to Surgery
Posted 2 Mar 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, March 2, 2016 – Patients who've received a steroid injection for hip pain should wait at least three months before having hip replacement surgery, a new study suggests. "The risk of developing an infection after surgery increased significantly in patients who had a hip replacement within three months of receiving a steroid injection," study author Dr. William Schairer, from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, said in a hospital news release. "However, in patients who had a steroid injection and then waited three months or longer to have the surgery, there was no increased risk at all." Steroid injections are widely used to ease pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. These injections can weaken the immune system, which could increase infection risk, the researchers explained. "Hip replacement is a common and safe procedure that relieves pain and ... Read more

Knee Arthritis: Steroid Shots May Not Help Long-Term, Ozone Injections Promising
Posted 10 Nov 2015 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 10, 2015 – Millions of aging Americans are plagued by arthritic knees, and two new studies offer insight into what might – or might not – help curb the condition. Both studies were presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting in San Francisco. One study found that a popular therapy, steroid drug injections, do nothing to slow progression of osteoarthritis in the knee. This type of treatment is common, but has never been specifically tested, and there are concerns about its safety, according to a team led by Dr. Tim McAlindon, chief of rheumatology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. His team tracked outcomes for 140 people – mainly overweight white women – with knee arthritis who averaged 58 years of age. The patients received either injections of the steroid triamcinolone hexacetonide, or placebo injections of saline, every three months ... Read more

hello Steve and Elliott and Clay
Welcome to the Canine Entheusiasts group, Will D...
LOL... that's hilarious, Neill..!
I bought a set of battery powered led Christmas lights. 2AA batteries zippy tied to the dogs collar, i then wrapped her in the lights. was funny watching the dog wander around the backyard at night lit up like a Christmas tree!
Elliott, thanks for the vote of confidence. I appreciate it. There are lots of homeless dogs who need good homes.
Yay...! I know how much you have been looking forward to that, Steve... you will make such a great dog dad... :)
Thanks, Elliott. I am setting things up in my life now so that I can adopt a dog, and hopefully soon.
I wish there was a "like" option under your comment, Steve
I live just a few blocks from the dog beach. I never tire of watching the dogs playing on the sand and in the water. They seem to be having a lot of fun. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement.
Hey Jeff...! Welcome to the group...
I just drove through Kansas about a month ago... :)
What kind of dog do you have..?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Stopped by state patrol (SP) and given a breathalizer, I passed. Did not pass sobriety test. SP asked me to submit blood test,refused. SP had passenger drive car to a parking lot (she had no valid drivers license, SP knew this). He drove us down freeway for friend to pick us up. Did not get a citation just paperwork/drivers hearing request. 1month later get letter DOL, suspended license for 1 yr.
Why no citation from SP.
Will I still get criminal charge, it has been one month+ since incident.
Is it worth my time to do the Drivers hearing request. Would anything change.
Do I have a chance to get this dismissed or reduced to something else. Only thing is I have not been charged with anything but refusing a blood test.
Thank you for your response.
I would have several questions for you before I could give you any real substantive advice. However, I can answer some of your questions. It is likely that DUI charges will be filed. If the Trooper filed his report with DOL then he most likely filed one with the prosecuting attorney. Depending on where this occurred, charges could be filed any day or within the next several months (King County is known to delay the filing of DUI charges for up to six months or longer). There is s two year statute of limitations in which the prosecutor must file charges or lose the ability to do so.
I would definitely advise going forward with the DOL hearing. It is unclear from your question but I assume you have already requested the hearing. You have 20 days from the date of arrest to do so. If the hearing is already scheduled, you should be contacting a DUI attorney. You can prevail at the hearing but will almost certainly need a lawyer do to so.
Finally, there is always a chance to get e DUI charge reduced, even dismissed. If you have no prior DUI history, a reduction of the charges is the most likely outcome, assuming that you hire counsel.Ask a similar question
I don't practice in WA. Refusing the test is sufficient to suspend your license.
Yes. it's worth requesting a DMV hearing, although if you already got the suspension you may need to do more than just a simple request.
There is always a chance to beat it. You should talk to a local DUI lawyer.
Edward J. BlumAsk a similar question
You ask two questions. The first one, regarding the driver's license revocation for one year, YES totally fight that. But honestly, it could be too late to take action through the DOL. You only have 20 days after you get stopped for DUI to request a DOL hearing. It also costs $200 unless you can prove your are indigent.
The second question is whether or not you may be charged with a DUI. I think it's highly likely that you will. If that happens, you will receive a citation in the mail and a summons to attend court.
Has you address changed since this incident occurred? If it has and you accidentally miss the citation and the summons if it comes in the mail, you could receive a warrant and be subject to arrest by the police.
One way to see what is up is to call the county prosecutor's office. At least here in Whatcom County, the prosecutor handles tickets cited by the Washington State Patrol, so by calling that office you can sometimes find out if you have been charged with a crime.
Also it's worth mention that in Washington law, there is a way to avoid the revocation by getting an ignition interlock device. There's many steps in that process, so go here to learn more: http://www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/iil.htmlAsk a similar question

I have now did more research and found out that using teh wireless app gui interface, I am able to connect to non-secured wireless networks. I have tried the following commands to enable connectivity with my WPA-PSK AP.
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 essid Green key "s: passphrase"
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 essid Green key passphrase
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
I can seem to connect using a GUI interface to a non secured network. However, when I try to input or connecrt to a WPA-PSK network via the command prompt or the GUI, I seem to hang up. Any suggestions? An app tells me that I can see roughly six wireless networks, some secured and some not. I am operating on the standard channel 6.
(no space btwn s: p )
//Create a text based file called wpa_supplicant.conf
Enter the following:
Where nameofnetwork is your essid and psk is your WPA pre-shared key!
Then run the wpa_supplicant tool.
wpa_supplicant -D madwifi -i ath0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf
This will need altering depending on what chipset and drivers you are using. The above should work for an Atheros card.
Saying all of the above about WPA configurations, I have had many problems with it on BackTrack. If someone else has other suggestions, please post here. Also, please post setup commands for other types of wireless cards.
wpa-supplicant tool u can find in backtrack? Alright. However, isn't madwifi a driver for a particular wireless card? I don't seem to have a problem connecting to unsecured wireless networks, so I;m not sure if driver issues is really the issue. Help would be appreciated thx

Funny you should mention this. The ConfigDig package does exist, though I
don't think much development has been done recently. I'm sure people would
be glad to see it picked up again. Certainly the multidig scripts that I
wrote are other attempts at simplifying things.
My $0.02. I'm not so sure a web-based front end is a great idea since it
means your config files are writeable via a CGI. To me this smells like a
security hole. But other people have different tolerances and besides, the
base Perl stuff in the ConfigDig project can be used from different
frontends. (I believe an X/Tk frontend was in the works.)

Soldera comes across like that uncle who, once affronted, crosses you off forever.
She did not know whether she was affronted, or hurt, or merely startled.
Rose caught it, and said, "Well, am I to be affronted any more?"
You should ha' thought twice before you affronted to extremes a man who had nothing to lose.
The woman smiled, not at all affronted by the lack of courtesy shown her.
We are by nature kind and generous, vengeful only when insulted, cruel only when affronted.
This affronted Mr. Betterton, who threw down the money, and they entered.
Then they are amazed and affronted; and wonder "since when?"
The driver was affronted, but the farmer pacified him by an appeal to his fear.
Tut, tut, to think now that so great a friend should be affronted at such a trifle.
1590s, from affront (v.).

John Eccleston shares this graduation story with us:
"Bitter sweet." That is how one St. Dominic School eighth-grader described her graduation from the Blauvelt school she has attended since second grade.
She was not alone in her feelings as the 20 students moving on to high school carried big smiles and joy mixed with tears and heavy hearts upon their graduation on June 16.
During the unique ceremony, teachers and student counselors shared touching words about the academic and personal growth of each student, and some students took to the microphone to thank the school and staff. Many students received special awards for academic achievement and citizenship, including ones from President Obama's "Education Awards Program." The graduates will now enter public and private high schools in their respective school districts.
Operated by the nonprofit Saint Dominic's Home, St. Dominic's School is a kindergarten- to eighth-grade day school that helps children with special needs and learning challenges to succeed academically by providing a nurturing and personalized educational environment. The school serves students from New York City, Rockland, Westchester and the Lower Hudson Valley.

Chris Austin sent this one in:
Hey Ryan, I sent you a Facebook message but after i sent it i realized you prefer being emailed. Hulk Hogan was on the boomer and carton show this morning. I only saw the end of the interview but heard it was very good. He talked about TNA, Sting and how he got started in the wrestling industry. Here is a link that you can download the audio from: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/10/14/bc-morning-show-hulk-hogan-causes-quite-a-stir-with-boomer-carton/ I've been following your sites for many years now and your the only person i follow to get the latest wrestling news, cause i see how dedicated you are to it and majority of the time accurate. I just want to say keep up the good work bud, us wrestling fans are grateful to have you! Thank you,
Punch sting in the face. I haven't seen impact yet this week, but..is hulk and sting a swerve..a double swerve to somehow fool bully..
Never thought of that……great idea.
The double swerved that does make sense!
Hogan versus Sting @ Bound For Glory
I doubt this will lead to another match between Hulk Hogan and Sting. More like Sting branching off to form his own team to deal with the Aces and Eights that may result in a 3-way war in TNA.

I love the soft texture of the rolls .
And I made the rolls again....hehehe , but just changed the filling, I use kumquat compote as the filling, and it turned out great!
I like the sweet and tangy taste of these rolls ...yumyum, and not forget the topping too.Don't skip the topping.
The rolls and Kumquat Compote originally from Wendy.
250 gm bread flour
125 gm fresh milk
50 gm sugar
5 gm instant yeast
1/2 tsp salt
38 gm butter
1 egg
Some butter
Some Pureed Kumquat Compote
Frosting/ Topping
45 gm cream cheese
30 gm butter
70 gm icing sugar( I used 60 gm)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Mix all the ingredients for dough in a mixing bowl.
Knead on speed 4 for 15 minutes( using KA) or until window pane stage.
Cover and let the dough proof until double, for about 11/2 hour.
While dough is proofing, grease a 9 inch tin, ( I use square pan & lined the bottom)
When the dough is ready, roll it into a rectangle about 8mm thick( mine about 3-4mm thick)
Spread butter over the dough, then spread some Kumquat Compote over and roll up.
Pinch seams and cut roll into 9 pieces.
Arrange then in prepared baking pans .
Cover and let them proof for another 30 minutes, until they looks puffy.
Bake in preheated oven 150( fan) / 170C for 20-25 minutes.( Mine at 180C for 20 minutes)
While rolls are baking,prepare frosting.
Place all frosting ingredients into a microwaveable bowl and zap on high for 30 seconds.
Stir to combine.
(Or, you can just let everything come to room temp and beat together, not necessary to zap, but it's so much easier to zap)
If too runny, chill in fridge awhile waiting for the rolls to bake and turn warm.
Frost the warm rolls and serve.

The year 2013 is nearing to an end and Mollywood has released more than 150 movies this year. This is the first time the Malayalam industry has witnessed the release of more than 150 films in a year. Mollywood really had some good movies this year that will be remembered for the years to come. Like actors, even actresses have done quite well this year.
Nazriya Nazim, the little girl in the movie Palunku, has rose to stardom with her debut movie as a heroine. She did quite well in the film Neram and was paired along with Nivin Pauly in the movie. The film was remade in Tamil with the same title and was a hit there too.
Shobana, the actress who was keeping away from the industry for a quite long time, focussing more on her dancing career, made a comeback in the industry with a bang. She showcased a strong character in the movie Thira, directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan.
Click to vote for Best Actress 2013
Rima Kallingal, the actress who has made herself a strong contestant in the industry with the movie 22 Female Kottayam, gave a brilliant performance in the movie August Club.
Meghana Raj has done quite a good number of roles in Mollywood. She had a very little significance in the movie Memories, but the actress performed it perfectly. She also did well in Up & Down, Mukalil Oraalundu. Her Good Bad And Ugly is getting released on December 13,
Swetha Menon, with her movie Kalimannu, rose to the brim of popularity and also controversies. She gave a new concept in that movie, which was more like a salute to the motherhood.

Rima Kallingal
She played a different kind of role in August Club as a family woman, who controls her thirst for the love of her husband.
Swetha Menon
She gave a new meaning to the word motherhood with this movie. A well executed movie indeed.

If the announcement yesterday of a $60 million investment in three innovation investment funds is all Industry Minister
Australia's 20-odd VC managers are finding it almost impossible to raise funds, especially from institutional investors, who are unimpressed with the returns they receive and have better prospects elsewhere.
The industry expects half of these funds will collapse within a few years, which will seriously damage the flow of business investments available to later-stage sources of finance, including on the ASX.
Yesterday's announcement does little to counter the widely recognised market failure that has required government intervention to support VCs virtually everywhere outside the United States since the mid-1980s.
Unfortunately, the government has only the Innovation Investment Funds scheme and direct commercialisation grants in its armoury, though start-ups, as distinct from VCs, will benefit if the Senate passes the long-delayed bill for a research and development tax credit.
Innovation investment funds work because the government accepts a return on its investment not greater than the long-term bond rate, which increases the upside for investors.
Yesterday's announcement was positive in that it avoided the temptation to back managers new to VC and private equity.
Carnegie Venture Capital and Southern Cross Venture Partners are experienced, while the Medical Research Commercialisation Fund received funding in an earlier round.
In the past, Canberra has generally not given a VC more than one round of funding, which denied them the long-term track record needed to become standalone businesses.
Carr is showing signs of understanding financial markets, but to avoid a venture capital meltdown more cash and more policy innovation are needed.

Hi there – first time in this forum.
I was searching for Joomla 3 templates and the results were very poor. Following needs (and I guess lots of people would need those functions)
- Joomla 3
- flexible sliders like Revolution Slider, layer slider
- flexible navi styling – also logo position
- ads management – maybe also from extern like openx
- Forum
- Joomla 3
- Virtuemart 2.0.18a with Responsive Design
- Fully Responsive Design
- unlimited color and background variations to brand the product
- custom contact page, alternative contact page – with google maps
- megamenu or similar to be able to show own symbols
- all google fonts
- Google analytics
- lots of Module Positions
- all media to include like Video background, pic bg, sound
Some creative pages look stunning but missing the "sales features" and forum. Others just serve Joomla 2.5.
any suggestions or upcoming themes? I have to choose the next days for my client.
thanks for any help.
You could check out Joshua's collection of Joomla 3 ready templates most of which contain most of what you are looking for:http://themeforest.net/collections/2718301-joomla-3-templates
thanks for the answere and link. I know them, but they are not really creative. I am searching for full page (wide style) but also with flexible backgrounds and maybe semitransparent or transparent content background.
I have to relaunch an existing Joomla page with shop but in new style like the product line is now. I have made a simple wordpress page. This page will be updated the next days too. I want to work with a looping video sequenz for steam (like you see at the begining of the video "making of". Here is the link PERFEKTER GASTGEBER
I produced the dvd and all of the stuff around it.
I want this page really creative looking
your SAUNE theme is not far from this style, but I need the other features like shop and forum too. And in any case a revolution slider – full with. And of course Joomla 3 – there are such nice changes in admin.
Don´t you plan to update? I would even pay more for a fully featured premium theme.
Sauna Joomla 3 is almost done, couple of more hours and it will be ready (2 days max) I'm adding the forum component as well, but not revolution slider.
great news! maybe it fits – if there is a way to implement the slider afterwards it would be great. This or a similar slider with nice fly-in animations is a must have for me, because I will have to present different spices and tools to buy in a creative way – fully responsive.
You could check other alternative sliders that have fly-in animations + Joomla 3 support.

California's history is living proof that states should build up budgetary reserves in the good times to get them through the inevitable economic downturns that sucker-punch us now and again.
With its revenue dependent largely on the taxes paid by the wealthy - whose incomes can fluctuate wildly with the peaks and valleys of the stock market - California feels every recession acutely.
The state is just now crawling out of the Great Recession, which resulted in unprecedented state cuts and layoffs. Those who have been watching for a while recall the way California took it on the chin in the dot-com bust, when all those capital gains taxes quickly disappeared. But the lesson wasn't learned.
The state entered the Great Recession with just $1.5 billion in its rainy-day account, which disappeared quickly as revenue dropped. The accounted was zeroed out to pay some bills in the 2007-2008 fiscal year.
So now that tax revenue is starting to make a comeback, it's important for Sacramento to start building up a reserve so that it doesn't get walloped again in the next downturn. Unfortunately, there's some unglamorous spending that needs to occur first - paying down the state's debts.
Yes, that "wall of debt" that Gov. Jerry Brown has been talking about is real, and it hurts California. The state's bill for the debts it has racked up - most of it approved by voters - will be nearly $28 billion at the end of this fiscal year, according to state officials.
Ironically, the state's rainy-day account was established in a deal then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made with voters early in his term in office.
Schwarzenegger told voters that if they let him borrow $15 billion to cover the state's budget deficit, he would "cut up the state's credit cards" - after he got the money. His ballot measures prohibited future borrowing to cover future deficits and set up the rainy-day fund - to make sure California would have a cushion that would let it navigate future economic problems without pain, he said.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. The deficit ballooned past $40 billion, which Brown has had to tame to get the budget back under control. The state still owes $5 billion of the money Schwarzenegger borrowed.
With the exception of two years, in which that now-gone $1.5 billion went into the reserve fund, Schwarzenegger and then Brown have used executive order to keep any money from going into the rainy-day account. Brown wants to use new revenue to pay down the wall of debt, including money the state owes local governments and schools.
That's the right approach. The state has to pay interest on those debts, which uses up more revenue.
Putting money into the reserve account before paying down debt "would be like building up a savings account when you still have a lot of credit-card debt," an expert from the rating agency Standard & Poor's told another news outlet.
Yes, California must prudently build up a reserve. But first it must reduce its debt.

I could find out if MDT's charitable division would be willing to

 some assurance that at least some people will know what to do with it
 if it's needed.

 However, I'd like to point out that AED *training* is quite simple,
