In this four-part series on Social Media for Small Businesses, Social Media Consultant Alison Cummings and Marketing Technology Consultant Phil Gerbyshak talks about social media opportunities for small businesses.
Part 1: "Must-have" Qualities to Look for When Hiring a Social Media Consultant
Part 2: Why Social Media Challenges Small Business Owners and Consultants
Part 3: Why Twitter Works for Small Businesses
Part 4: How to Partner Social Media With Offline Marketing Strategy
Watch Phil Gerbyshak in action, and you see an outgoing, energetic, funny guy. Phil is an experienced speaker and trainer. He is also the author of three books.
One subject this Milwaukee consultant is serious about: The value of social media for small businesses. And you don't have to be in the hospitality industry to benefit from the compelling success stories he and co-authors Joe Sorge and Scott Baitinger share in #TwitterWorks Restaurant 2.0 Edition.
Meet Phil Gerbyshak
Alison Cummings: I would try to put into context what it is you do and what you've accomplished, but it's pretty broad. So if you wouldn't mind doing that, I'd really appreciate it.
Phil Gerbyshak: Sure. Boy, so let's see. Where to begin? I guess, let's talk about what I'm most passionate about and that is I like to help people, which is why I've written books.
I wrote 10 Ways to Make You Great back in 2006. I wrote a book on how to be a better help desk manager with Jeff Brooks called Help Desk Managers Crash Course in '08. And then in 2010, wrote #TwitterWorks to help small businesses and restaurants embrace Twitter, and see that it's not as hard, and as mysterious, and as mystical, as people make it out to be.
And then right now, as of June 1, 2010, I am full-time marketing technology strategist helping organizations either tell their story, understand how to use tools, or develop strategy, typically around social media.
Prior to that, for the past 10 years I was an IT manager at a financial services company based here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So I've done lots of stuff. I was in the Navy for four years. I went to school to be an elementary school teacher, and I've written a couple thousand articles. I like to play with computers and love to work with people. So does that wrap it up pretty good?
Advice on hiring a social media consultant
Alison: Yes, it's great! And actually leads to my next question. You said a lot of things helped you get to where you are now, working in social media. For someone interested in entering this career or wanting to hire someone as a social media consultant, what do you think are the most important qualities that the consultant should have?
Phil: Well, as it is social media, you have to have a very strong social background. You have to understand people … help people, and have a big heart. That's hard to measure in an interview, but I think you can tell people that have a big heart. I think that's important.
If you're a company and you're hiring someone, you need to understand what you want them to do. Is it outreach or is it customer service of inbound stuff? Is it finding new customers for you? In which case, you'd need more of an outbound sales mentality. Maybe you need someone who is in real estate or someone who is a hunter and gatherer. Or someone who's just going to tend to the people that are already your customers. And if that's your case, then you can go with someone who's more into customer service.
But you definitely need someone, if you're talking about the whole strategy, not just Twitter. You need someone who understands the whole strategy. So if they have a marketing background, that's good, but certainly an IT background is helpful too, because the tools change really fast. And a lot of IT people have a good grasp of how to learn a new tool quickly once they understand your strategy.
So they might be working with you, first, to get that strategy. And that might take a little bit. Just like, on the other side, you can train people to use the tools. But I really think that blend of the two typically is someone who is in IT who has more drive, more initiative, who's willing to kind of go the extra mile to help customers. And not just IT for IT's sake, but someone who will align themselves with the business.
It could be someone on a service desk or a help desk, a manger who typically spent time embedded in the business. It could be someone who did a really great job of writing concise memos or sending crisp e-mails inside a company. So communication is another critical skill.
Alison: I think it's fair to say that you're an extrovert. You'd agree?
Phil: Yes.
Alison: Okay. What about someone who's an introvert that has those qualities? Has the big heart, is customer service-oriented, and a good communicator with some IT knowledge. Do you think that (being an introvert) would hold them back?
Phil: I don't think so. To me, the definition of an extrovert is someone who gets energy from people. If someone's an introvert, that means they don't get as much energy from people and often they need to be alone.
And in social media, you need some alone time. You need to be able to kind of put your head down, write an article and maybe build some back links. You need to put your head down and actually do some of the work. It's not all social. So I would say being an introvert definitely would not hold someone back as long as they possess the other skills.
I've had customers who have said, "Hey, I'd really love it if you'd just run our Twitter account. All I need you to do is send 20 tweets a week." Well, that's not really how Twitter works. It's not like 20 tweets is "enough." Ten tweets might be too many.
Alison: You mentioned you're entering this full time. Do you have any certain company profile that you're focusing on?
Phil: I specialize in the smaller business, so someone who has under 25 people who typically doesn't have a full-time marketing department. They might have a marketing person, maybe even two marketing people, but someone who knows that they need a Web site with a blog probably.
They probably need Twitter. They probably need Facebook … maybe their Web site hasn't been updated since 2001, or they signed up for Twitter and it completely failed because they didn't devote any time to it.Or they set up a Facebook Fan Page and they didn't really do anything to cultivate it. So coming back in to reinvigorate a smaller company to help them get going.
It could be they outsource that to me, to create the content. And then eventually, I bring them back in to show them, "Hey, it's not that hard. You can do this. If you spend an hour or two a day, you can make a big impact on your social media." Because ultimately, people want to interact with the company.
For smaller businesses, it's about helping them know a little bit more about what they want, and eventually teaching them how to transition to doing it themselves.
Certainly, if you hire someone and give them the business knowledge, you're going to be paying them for much more than just sending 10 tweets a week. I've had customers who have said, "Hey, I'd really love it if you'd just run our Twitter account. All I need you to do is send 20 tweets a week." Well, that's not really how Twitter works. It's not like 20 tweets is "enough." Ten tweets might be too many.
And by that, I mean you have to interact with your customers. If you have people that are interacting with you, you have to interact with them. It's not numerical. That would be just like if you opened a business and said, "The only people I'm going to serve are the first 20 and the rest of you, I'm going to make it look like the door's open, but I'm just going to ignore you." That's ridiculous.
But that's often the tact that businesses take. They're looking for some sort of hourly quantification on that, or some numerical quantification where they say 10, 20, 50, whatever, tweets. It's very difficult. You can do that when you talk about blog posts. You can say, "I'd like to write 10 articles a month." That's possible.
So typically, for those smaller businesses, it's about helping them know a little bit more about what they want, and eventually teaching them how to transition to doing it themselves.

Modelling of Y-junction waveguide resonators
Eustace K.Mwarania and James S.Wilkinson
Rare-earth-doped multiple-cavity waveguide lasers driven by on-chip phase modulators comprise a new class of integrated optical sources. In this paper, a transfer matrix model suitable for the analysis of multiple-cavity resonators is developed and used to investigate the spectral characteristics of a resonator incorporating a Y-junction. This resonator is shown to be suitable for the realization of monolithically integrated Q-switched, line-narrowed. and tunable planar waveguide lasers.

Poverty Reduction through the I/NGOS
In Nepal 80% of the total population belong to agricultural base. The Agricultural program focuses on poverty alleviation and improving food security, nutrition and environment improving. Across project many of International and National non governmental organization are talking of business development services (BDS) or value –chain approach. The BDS approach includes an emphasis in on building the capacity of supply chain enterprises to manufacture and distribute agricultural equipment and inputs that are suitable for smallholders, and establishing private sector markets. I/NGOS build the capacity of outputs. For example, micro irrigation equipment dealers train farmers to use irrigation system that they sell and also provide agriculture advice for system buyers. Many of I/NGOs approach also include providing technical assistance to early technology adopters to create demand for business services. These approaches also includes strong Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the governmental to ensure that public goods such as market information, infrastructure, research, policy, water source development, and other public services to improve sub sector performance are supplied. Export Market Focus Nepal is in unique position to rapidly increase agriculture incomes through development of high value commodities for export markets. Nepal has a comparative advantage in high –value commodities due to agro-climate conditions that allow for off –season/ low –cost production for vast South Asian Markets. Despite having identified this strategy more than 15th years ago. Nepal lags behind in integrating smallholder farmer for export opportunities. Nepal remains net importer that enable smallholder to take advantage of export opportunities across projects.

A country's progress – economic, social, cultural and spiritual – would depend, to some extent, upon the kind of Government. Though most industrial countries are democratic, most of the Islamic countries are dictators. Others like China, North Korea and Cuba are Communist countries. A protagonist of democracy has stated "democracy is the worst kind of Government until one discovers something worse". Independent India seems to have adopted the worst kind, which is totally inappropriate for our conditions. In Western countries, Parliamentary democracy functions well because they are mono-culture societies, with same religion and language, like Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan, etc. India is a plural country, with a highly diversified culture, with innumerable divisive factors, such as religion, caste, language, ethnicity, etc. In western countries, government concentrates on governing and public administration, along with conventional functions of the government. Economic development is largely left to the private sector with government acting only as a regulator and controller.
In India, however, we have a mixed economy, where government actively participates in economic and social development as entrepreneur, manager, lender, insurer, regulator, controller, etc. Because of this, India today is in a dangerous situation – politically and economically. The country is divided emotionally along linguistic, castes and communal lines. India's emotional unity has been nourished for 5000 years by the ideals of Indian civilization and the overwhelming influence of the four religions born in India. It has now been largely eroded because of the inappropriate political economy model.
Government is so busy with its business functions, which are massive and widespread. Ministers are CEOs of PSUs with lakhs of crores of investment and lakhs of employees. Railway is the largest organization in the world under one management. For recruiting junior officials and managers, the selection process is elaborate. But these CEOs, except a few exceptions, have no qualification except gathering votes with money, liquor, mafia power and caste charisma. They decide the economic destiny of a large nation. Nothing can be more absurd than this situation. Ministers have no time to govern. Since government is in business, naturally those who stand for election are mostly those who wish to make money by manipulating the governmental system. Thus, instead of social service-oriented personalities, business-oriented segments of society enter politics. Since a lot of money can be made in government by manipulating the governmental system, elections have become very costly. A candidate has to spend at least Rs. 10 crores in election expenses. Naturally he has to recover the Rs. 10 crores, which is easy, since Rs. 100 crores can be made per day in government. During the last two years, scams by politicians are of the order of thousands of crores of rupees.
It is essential that the system should be so changed that honest people can compete in the elections without spending much money. The system should promote parties, and not individuals as at present. We had proposed Electoral reforms, which would encourage formation of parties and give them stability. Also, competent people with character would be able to enter and strengthen the political system.
The main function of the government is Governance. Maintenance of law and order are the most important ones. But our government is so involved in hundred other unnecessary responsibilities that it has no time or resource to take care of vital functions. State governments themselves are launching bandhs to protest against the Centre and other States. Police are becoming ineffective as they are misused for political purposes. Their time and energy are being wasted on trivial functions like bandobust duties, escorting prisoners to courts, guarding ministers etc. Media portray them as clowns and buffoons or as brutes who torture people. Their morale is going down. They would soon become inactive and ineffective. People would lose.
Democracy does not mean freedom and license to loot or create public disorder and unleash violence, as has been going on for the last 40 years. We have the obvious example of China to study how they have been able to grow much faster and eliminate the curse of poverty, illiteracy, privation, etc. Shanghai is one of the cleanest cities in the world. We have not been able to clean the garbage in our cities. Thus, our journals remind citizens that dramatic and drastic changes are required to bring about order and harmony in India.
Though 70% of Indians live in villages, it is the 30% in urban areas, who mould public opinion and influence policies. People look at the Government not by factors, such as, "whether we are a super power or whether we get a seat in the UNSC or whether we are respected for our military might", etc. The one hundred cities in India influence public policy. People will judge the Government by the way the Municipal Corporation, Water supply, Electric supply, Sewage system, Educational Institutions, Hospitals, Development Authorities, etc function. The most inefficient segments in India are the Public Utilities and the Services in the cities. If they are improved, public opinion in favor of democracy would become favorable. Today, people curse the Government, as they are not even able to clear garbage. Utilities and Services are to be improved by making them managerial and commercial, and not as simple Government Departments with obsolete systems and lethargic officials and employees.

The 26th Annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference will be held March 13-17 in Houston, Texas. The conference will begin with a reception and registration Sunday, March 12, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Registration will continue beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Monday morning, March 13, at the NASA Johnson Space Center. Sessions will be held at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) and the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, March 13, and ending Friday, March 17, at noon.
Authors presenting by poster who want to show VCR tapes may sign up for one-hour slots on a first-come, first-served basis in Room 204 of the Gilruth Center. A tape player and monitor will be available in that room for video presentations. You may want to advertise the times your video will be presented on your poster board during the Tuesday or Thursday evening session.
The cookoff and Tex-Mex Fiesta will be held on Wednesday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Landolt Pavilion. Out-of-town teams are encouraged to enter. Because the conference staff can no longer provide cooking equipment, the "preparation on site" rule common to most cookoffs will be waived to encourage more team participation. The goal of this event is fun, not serious cooking competition. Guest tickets may be purchased for $10.
Chili Cookoff Teams should complete an entry form (provided with the Third Announcement mailing) and return it to LPI by February 17 to enter a chili in the cookoff. The judges are hoping for a few good cooks, so organize your teams and enter now!
The program and first paragraph of abstracts for the 26th LPSC will be placed on line on or around February 1, 1995.

Registration will continue beginning at 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday morning, March 13, at the JSC Gilruth Center. The registration desk will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and from 8:00 a.m. to noon on Friday.
Conference shuttle buses will provide service between selected hotels (Nassau Bay Hilton, Days Inn, Holiday Inn, Ramada Kings Inn, Quality Inn, Motel 6, and Best Western NASA Inn), the JSC Gilruth Center, and LPI. No shuttle service is available from the Residence Inn by Marriott or the South Shore Harbour Resort. There will be rotational runs in the morning, during lunch, at the close of sessions, and to and from these hotels during special events. Your conference badge will serve as your bus ticket.
The conference shuttle will also make hourly stops at LPI during the week. Computer displays, exhibits, poster sessions, and other conference-related events will be located at the LPI throughout conference week.
In addition, for those driving rental cars, we will provide a "park and ride" service for anyone arriving at LPI for the reception and registration on Sunday evening or the poster sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. If you arrive after the LPI parking lot has been filled, additional parking has been acquired in a lot at the University of Houston-Clear Lake (next door to LPI). Shuttle buses will pick you up at this lot and deliver you to the front door of LPI.
Ground transportation from Houston Intercontinental and Houston Hobby Airports to the local area hotels at a reasonable cost is available through two shuttle services.
AAA Shuttle charges $10 one way from Hobby Airport and $15 one way from Houston Intercontinental Airport. Service is limited to three trips per day from each airport. The scheduled departures from Intercontinental are at 7:40 a.m., 11:15 a.m., and 2:45 p.m. Scheduled departures from Hobby are at 8:20 a.m., 11:50 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. The telephone number for AAA Shuttle is 713-338-7133.
Service from both airports is also available through Galveston Limousine Service (vans and small buses are used for the airport shuttle). This service offers trips from Intercontinental Airport from 7:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m. every one and one-half hours. The scheduled trips from Hobby Airport are from 8:00 a.m. through 11:00 p.m. every one and one-half hours. The rate from either airport for a one-way trip is $15. The telephone numbers for Galveston Limousine Service are 713-223-2256 (Houston line) or 409-765-5288 (Galveston line).
No public transportation is available from the airports to the local area, or within the local area surrounding NASA Johnson Space Center. Taxi service is available from the airports and in the local area. Taxi service rates are approximately $20-25 from Hobby Airport or $50-60 from Intercontinental Airport.
A message center will be in the conference registration area at the Gilruth Center during the technical sessions. People who need to contact attendees during the conference may call 713-483-0321, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Friday from 8:00 a.m. until noon. A fax machine will be located at the staff desk for incoming messages only. Faxes should be sent to 713-483-8737. Telephone messages and faxes will be posted on a bulletin board near the Registration Desk.
Please contact the LPI Publications and Program Services Department at 713-486-2166 for further information.

text: This is the problem that I have right now with the valuation of Apple as a company. If the smartphones have already reached near commoditization stage already can they continue to get large margins for their products which is the basis for their high valuation. People will talk about Apple being cheap on a P/E ratio basis or EV/EBITDA basis but they are not cheap at all on a P/S or P/B basis and I think that has to give you pause as an investor. Further pause will come from the fact that Steve Jobs is dead and the new guy looks like he is not a Jobs like visionary. They can't maintain their margins without ongoing innovation and new product development. I know Apple wants to crack TV but that has been commoditized long ago and most of the strength really lies with the content makers and not the content displayers or the content distributors. With Apple, Google, Amazon and Netflix all working on this one it is hard to believe there will be high margins on the end products. If I were a major Apple shareholder (I own some but not a lot) I'd be wanting money back from them as dividends before they waste it on something. As disclosure I own Apple stock but buy Samsung products.

One answer, in light of Mr Gore's decision to sell his Current TV channel to Qatar-financed Al Jazeera, is that it would cause sleepless nights for his new friends in Doha, who make their money by selling fossil fuels to the world. Their success had made them very, very rich – and also given Qatar the largest per capita carbon footprint in the world.
This inconvenient truth was omitted from the email announcing the deal, sent to Current TV staff on Wednesday by Mr Gore's partner in the broadcasting project, Joel Hyatt.
Mr Gore has long campaigned about the environmental damage done by fossil fuels (in the process earning a Nobel prize). Now he has first-hand experience of its economic benefits, after the Qataris reportedly paid around half a billion dollars for Current TV. Based on his reported stake of around 20 per cent, the former VP is expected to net around $100m (£60m) from the sale, a healthy gain on the $60m that Mr Gore and his partners are reported to have paid for the channel in 2004.
While it makes Mr Gore richer, the deal gives Al Jazeera a way to expand its reach in the US. Despite its record of awards and commendations for its international coverage, particularly during the Arab Spring, it has faced an uphill battle in convincing Americans that it is a legitimate news organisation, not a propaganda tool for oil-rich Gulf states or Islamist militants.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
The name of this category does not begin to do justice to The Fish Gallery, which could almost pass for a museum of natural science — except for the comfy leather couches in a soothing pale blue. The Fish Gallery offers outreach programs as a museum would: a summer reading program for children and kids' birthday parties. This summer's kickoff party for the reading program drew 72 visitors — when was the last time you saw that many people in a library? The Fish Gallery, one of seven in a nationwide chain, offers custom-designed aquariums, freshwater or saltwater. Looking for a respectable handheld pool skimmer? Check. The delicate Discus fish? Check. Captive-bred or wild corals? Check. CO2 and H2O refill stations? Check.
Here in H-Town's funkier regions, strip malls, those much-maligned supposed harbingers of sterility and bland suburbanism, sure can have a hell of a lot of grit and soul. Take this doozy on the northside, just across the street from the site of the former Northline Mall. The actual strip looks to be about 50 years old, and it's a one-stop for just about all your H-Town needs. There's 'cue and CFS at the arched-roofed Hungry Farmer, ghetto Chinese at the rugged little red-roofed China Inn, and a shop where you can buy or even rent a boomin' system for your ride. Best of all, there's one of the last outposts of the once-mighty Soundwaves music/surf chain, and unlike the Montrose location, the Crosstimbers outlet does not force its primarily blues/soul, hip-hop, zydeco and gospel inventory to contend for shelf space with boogie boards and ding repair kits, so it's that rarest of things: a living, breathing record store. That's one reason that in looking at this delightfully run-down and lovably cheesily constructed strip from across the street, you could convince yourself it's any year between 1975 and 2010. Timelessness like that is often in too short supply in this ever-changing, ephemeral megalopolis.
The gas station at the northeast corner of Montrose and Richmond used to be a full-service garage and repair shop, meaning the retail part of it was as cramped as most Montrose convenience stores. Now it's a big, shining example of how to do gas stations right. There's 14 pumps — in the middle of Montrose! — but inside is where A to Z Food & Deli really comes through. Sparklingly clean, the store not only offers a great selection of convenience-store stuff, it features a not-bad-at-all kitchen and deli, with subs, breakfast tacos, Philly cheese steaks and other items. The staff is friendly and eager, too.
It wasn't long ago that River Oaks was considered the richest ZIP code in the nation. But time can take its toll, and even $15 million mansions need a facelift sometimes. During the last three decades, Houston's Exterior Worlds has helped with that. The company specializes in "high-end landscape design," repairing and building outdoor fountains, luxury swimming pools and even outdoor kitchens. That's along with the normal range of services. Exterior Worlds helps keep River Oaks one area that non-Houstonians can envy.
Smack-dab between the antiquing hotspots of lower Westheimer and West 19th Street there looms this 1895 carriage barn, with more than 5,000 square feet of trash 'n' treasure within. Lots of antique stores tend to cater to women, but Heights Station's multi-dealer layout features a couple of fun testosterone zones with their sports memorabilia and rock and roll collectibles sections. You can get that old chair just about anywhere, but only at Heights Station — the mother of all attics — can you also go home with a signed 8-by-10 glossy of Journey from their "Don't Stop Believin'" heyday and a Charley Kerfeld rookie card.
Just step inside this Heights shop and smell the difference. It's like taking a gourmet-shopping trip around the world. Want Vietnamese cinnamon? Tellicherry black peppercorns? Szechuan pepper salt? Mexican oregano? Yep, Penzeys has all that and more, offering spices, herbs, seasonings, gift boxes and some pretty cool pepper mills and saltshakers. It's a great place to buy gifts, and novices need not worry. The friendly staff will offer recipes and sniff tests. You could spend hours here just sniffing all the different kinds of chili powders. It's spice heaven.

While architects have used the shape of a soap film to provide canopy, as in the 1972 Olympic Stadium by Frei Otto, the chair will be the first built object to support a human's weight with the form. It is the equal distribution of curvature throughout a soap film that makes it so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. However, this formal quality also redistributes the structural forces. If you could harness this property, you could use lightweight and inexpensive materials instead of steel. Imagine multi-story tents able to support the weight of electrical and plumbing lines, swiftly deployable in the aftermath of natural disaster. This chair will demonstrate the proof of concept towards such real-world load-bearing applications. 3-D printed models and renderings of the chair are now available on their Kickstarter page."
Soap Bubble Chair (Thanks, Andrew!)

I am sure you know that criticism is bad for children but do you have any idea how bad it is?
In their early years children collect information about themselves and the world from their caregivers and the people they come in contact with. Because children are born without any information about the world they tend to accept whatever they get told. (see also How children develop their personalities
If i brought you an orange and told you that its an apple you will never believe me simply because you already have some information about oranges but what if you have never seen an orange before?
Most probably you will believe me even if i was wrong. This is exactly what happens with children who get criticized often by the people they come in contact with.
So how does criticism affect children exactly?
Its better to avoid criticism all together because children are usually too fragile to handle them,however if criticism is a must, then you must make sure that the child understands the purpose behind it instead of letting him think that you are telling him that he is defective.
People form their personalities in their early years then live with these personalities for decades, that's why you need to be cautious while raising your children.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Real Madrid should regard Cristiano Ronaldo as their greatest of the modern era. The United boss, who sold Ronaldo for a world-record £80million in 2009, declared that his former prodigy is even better than all-time greats Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo, two of Real's most celebrated signings in recent years.
Ferguson said: "Florentino Perez had all the Galacticos at Real Madrid when he was president first time around. He had Figo, Zidane, Roberto Carlos, Raul in that spell. But I don't think any of those players were as good as Ronaldo.
"Zidane was a fantastic player, Figo was a fantastic player. But not as good as Ronaldo. So I think Mourinho's team are still living up to the reputation that Real Madrid can produce the top players.
"Ronaldo has beaten all the records there. He's beaten Di Stefano, Puskas, Hugo Sanchez. So obviously he is indelibly printed in their history now.
"You have to say he is pivotal to all they do - 179 goals in 178 matches tells its own story. I think I might have to think about blackmail. I might have to tell a true story about him!
"He's a fantastic player. I knew he would improve tremendously, he was still young when he left us."

University Human Resources
Attendance and Work Schedules
Work Schedules
The defined workweek begins and ends on Saturday at 12:00 midnight. Most Staff employees work a normal week that consists of five, 8-hour days, Monday through Friday. Typically, university office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Many departments keep different work schedules. In some departments, you may have the option of working an alternative or flexible work schedule. Consult your immediate supervisor for information about your work schedule.
The importance of accurate recordkeeping cannot be overestimated. The federal regulation toward timekeeping is strict and regularly enforced. Failing to record actual hours worked is a serious violation of employment. Supervisors who permit or encourage employees to record anything other than actual hours worked and time off taken are in violation of university policy and state and federal law.
- PAO and PAU Staff and Support and Service Staff are responsible for recording all hours worked and time off taken using the university-provided timekeeping system at least weekly.
- PAE Staff are to use the ePTO system to record the use of PTO and other paid time off benefits at least monthly.
- Supervisors must approve and sign each employee's time record before submitting it to Payroll.
Staff are responsible for recording all hours worked and time off taken.
Regular attendance is a condition of employment.
You should report any anticipated absence to your supervisor ahead of time. In an emergency, let your supervisor know as soon as possible the reason for the absence and when you expect to return.
If you are absent for three consecutive working days and do not notify your supervisor, you may be terminated.
If you are absent for five consecutive working days and do not notify your supervisor, you will be terminated.
Personal Emergency
In the case of personal emergency, advance notice to use accrued time off may not be possible; however, you are responsible for notifying your supervisor as soon as possible. Discuss the situation with your supervisor when you call so that an appropriate decision can be made.
Support and Service Staff
Rest Periods
Department heads and supervisors are authorized to give you a reasonable rest period during the workday. Under normal conditions, this rest period will not exceed a 15-minute break during each half day of work. A rest period must not interfere with the efficiency of the work unit. You cannot skip a rest period to:
- Compensate for a late arrival to work
- Compensate for an early departure from work
- Accumulate time
PAE Staff
PAE employees are exempt under the definitions of the Fair Labor Standards Act and do not receive overtime pay. To fulfill your professional work duties, you may have to work extra hours. If you work extra hours for a sustained period because of extraordinary or seasonal workloads, the department may authorize additional time off.
Support and Service Staff and PAO and PAU Staff
You may be required to work overtime unless a personal emergency prevents you from doing so. Your supervisor will try to give you advance notice of overtime assignments and must authorize all overtime before you actually work. You may not authorize your own overtime. If you work overtime you must be compensated according to the provisions of the Overtime Pay policy. Overtime is compensated by compensatory time or pay. Discuss the method of payment with your supervisor and have any questions resolved before you work overtime. For details about overtime eligibility, usage, and limits, refer to the overtime provisions for your functional group.
Support and Service Staff and PAO and PAU Staff
Overtime for Employees with Multiple Jobs
If you work for a secondary department, you must be compensated by overtime payment if the work time of the combined jobs exceeds 40 hours in a workweek. For details, contact your supervisor.
Travel Time Compensation
When departments require overtime-eligible staff to perform a work assignment, attend class, etc., at a location away from the campus of their normal work assignment, they may be eligible for pay for the time spent traveling to the activity. The principles which apply in determining whether time spent in travel is work time depend upon (1) the kind of travel involved and (2) when the travel occurs. For specific information refer to the Work Schedules and Hours for Non-Exempt Employees policy.

I can confirm that my WRAP.1D-2 (3 LAN / 1 miniPCI / 64MB DRAM) would
not boot with the image. I tried a web update and writing via USB CF

It may be the memory, but if m0n0BSD will run on the Soekris 4501 this
should work. I'm willing to test versions for you.
Slightly offtopic, does m0n0BSD include the entire m0n0wall web interface?

My 2002 325Ci
I recently purchased a manual 2002 325Ci M sport as a repairable writeoff from Pickles Auctions in Tullamarine. The car was in a minor front on crash and the steering wheel and passenger dashboard airbags are deployed. It is an Individual model, so it has Stratus Grey paint (BMW dealer told us that paint costed $5000 as an option!) and black cube trim. It also has quite a few options like the rain sensor, headlight washers, hid xenon headlights, harman/kardon sound system and 18 inch style 72 wheels. Windows have also been tinted 35%.
After we fix everything the mods I plan to do are:
- Piano black grills (done)
- Angel eyes (done)
- Face-lift LED tail lights
- Strut bar
- LED interior lighting
- Clubsport splitters
- White headlight/fog light bulbs
Here are some photos (I will update this thread during the process of fixing it up. The photos are in order from how I got it to current state):
I drove the the car when it was in this state. Everything was perfect.
We changed the oil after as well.
We bought a lot of stuff from A1 Prestige Automotive in Williamstown. I highly recommend this place, they have everything there at great prices.
From there we bought a genuine used bonnet (Dakar Yellow), both brake air ducts, headlight brackets, seat belt pre tensioners, original CD player, horn, front crash shock absorbers. Off ebay we bought both airbags and bumper reinforcement.
Here are a couple photos of the Dakar Yellow bonnet :P
We are currently in the process of changing all the brake rotors and pads.
Congrats mate should clean up good =) whats needed to get it back on the road?
To get it on the road we still need to buy:
Front air duct, fan shroud, bumper gasket, steering wheel airbag wiring, brake rotors and pads.
The front bumper is currently getting fixed somewhere in Dandenong. I'll let you guys know what shop it is exactly tomorrow. We were going to get an aftermarket bumper but a lot of people were saying its not worth it because they often don't fit properly.
Wow.... I love that colour!! Nice look forward to seeing the end product. What are your plans for the car once finished?
I have a little problem with the passenger airbag.
Maybe someone here will be able to help me out?:
I'm going to keep it.
welcome! car looked pretty good before all this... cant wait to see it finished!
Great colour! Will be good to see it finished :thumbsup:
I wish mine was that colour!
Nice pick up
Nice!!! welcome to the forum Damo!
Looks good man, looks like alot of work is going into it, hopefully you purchased at a good price :) how many kms on it?
Welcome :hi:
What a great project. Am enjoying your step-by step pix and look forward to seeing the next stages and the end product.
Welcome mate, nice car. All the best with with repairs, I know you'll be happy once its finished. :)
Love the colour!
All the best, can't wait to see it when it's done!
Thanks guys. It has only done just over 90 000 km.
Manual, 90,000 kms, good trim inserts (the carbon looking one), looks like a good buy.
I personally would never buy a written off BMW, too many hidden costs down the tracks from ones ive seen repaired before, I nearly purchased a 330ci facelifted from 01 but things started to fall apart on it :( the air con stopped working, random sensors started lighting up the dash, I have problems on my own BMW with full log books history and everything up to date and sensors still up and runs lumpy :(
You seem to know alot about the car though already which shows you will probably get it all done well (the harnesses you mentioned and wiring etc which are important)
Keep up to date pictures see how its coming along

Labour sanctions by secondary school teachers and staff within the local public school board have been called off after a tentative agreement was reached early Tuesday morning between the Avon Maitland local of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and the province.

The deal is subject to Minister of Education approval and ratification by both parties. No further details have been released at this time.

The board announced on Friday its staff, including teachers, office, clerical and technical workers, educational assistants, early childhood educators and professional student services people, would begin taking strike actions this week. The sanctions were to include abstaining from professional development activities, not participating in Education Ministry-led initiatives, and not communicating with parents outside of regular school hours.

"We have established a special page (www.yourschools.ca/job-action-updates) on the board's website, where we will be providing regular updates on the impact of any job action on our schools and/or students," Avon Maitland communications manager Steve Howe stated in a news release sent last week.

"Please note that the Avon Maitland District School Board is committed to keeping its schools functioning as normally as possible in the event of any job sanctions, and to maintaining a safe school environment for our students."

Teachers' unions have been without collective bargaining agreements with the education ministry since Aug. 30.

In September, the Ontario Legislature approved a bill that imposed terms and conditions on any future agreements with the unions; that bill is currently facing a legal challenge on the basis it contravenes teachers' rights.

The number of school students in Australia continues to grow but the number of schools is going down. Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show there were 9393 schools in Australia in 2013, 169 fewer than in 2008. As a result, the average number of students in each school is rising. In the 2008 to 2013 period, government schools grew from 347 to 370 students, and non-government schools from 442 to 470 students. The student-teacher ratio has remained stable over this five-year period at 13.9 students per teacher.

THE ghosts of Wiggles past were hovering as three founding members handed fresh red, purple and yellow skivvies to their replacements at Carols in the Domain, then prepared for two final concerts at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Sunday.
''It's a very emotional time, the end of an era, for the original Wiggles,'' said Yellow Wiggle Greg Page backstage. Page retired in 2006 to battle orthostatic intolerance and returned for a final lap of honour this year. ''But it's also a joyous occasion because the Wiggles are continuing on with Anthony Field sticking around - and it's great to see that what we created together 21 years ago can continue.''
Field, who will continue to perform with three new Wiggles - Emma Watkins, Lachlan Gillespie and Simon Pryce - denied the band's financial fortunes had motivated the changes.
Parent group The Wiggles Holdings Pty Ltd posted a net loss of $2.5 million last year on revenue of $21.4 million.
BRW estimates the band earned $17.16 million in 2012.
''It's never been about making money,'' said Field. ''If it can continue and it's profitable, great; but it's about entertaining children.''
Field admitted the swift removal of Sam Moran earlier this year ''could have been handled better from us, of course''.
But the Wiggles had been ''blindsided'' by ''unfair'' newspaper stories, which ''seemed to have come from a publicist or somebody who had a grievance with us''.
He added: ''The only thing I'm really disappointed about is Sam hasn't come out and said, 'Hey guys, I had a great time and these stories aren't true'.
''I wish him well; always have.''
Page, Murray Cook and Jeff Fatt will continue writing songs for The Wiggles ''and there may be cameo appearances'', said Fatt.
Up to 50,000 people converged on the 30th anniversary carols. Jessica Mauboy sang Silent Night, while John Waters channelled John Lennon with Happy Xmas (War is Over).

In 1966 the compact Nova received a hard-edged facelift that mirrored Chevy's successful Chevelle and Impala. That being said, sharp sheetmetal paled in comparison to the car's most significant upgrade: the legendary L79 option. As intentionally nondescript as the Super Sport trim it accompanied, L79 netted the car's lucky new owner a 327 cubic inch, 350 horsepower small block that was cribbed directly from the Corvette. That mill was certainly a hit, as a little over 5,400 of the red-hot bowties were ordered. But, unfortunately, most were purchased strictly for the quarter mile, which means, thanks to the law of attrition, finding an authentic L79 Nova is becoming increasingly difficult. Well, as you know, your friends at RK Motors Charlotte take pride in specializing in rare and hard to find classics. And that's why we're proud to feature this fully documented, registry-listed L79 Nova. Wrapping a numbers-matching drivetrain in correct Marina Blue on Black aesthetics, this highly original wonder transforms the phrase "investment grade compact" from oxymoron into fact!
The beneficiary of a partial restoration that was conducted in the mid '90s, this Nova is a sharp weekend cruiser that currently presents much better than original factory fodder. During the car's precise reboot, solid sheetmetal was completely striped of its dull, original pigment. With that shell removed, and its foundation massaged into great alignment, correct Marina Blue base was sealed in mirror-like clear. And today, one close look at our high-resolution pictures reveals a handsome payoff in the form of one slick Chevrolet muscle car!
The subdued and classy lines of the prototypical Nova are early '60s conservative. And because they're so universal in appeal, they've continued to gain significant popularity. At the front of this hardtop, a correct, black-trimmed grille hangs a classy "CHEVY II SS" badge between a mirrored bumper, clear parking lamps and bright, stainless-trimmed headlights. Above that grille, a finned hood anchors a simple Chevrolet crest in front of clean glass, polished wipers and straight stainless frames. At the sides of that hood, a clean, modernist profile centers small fender emblems and traditional door handles between straight wheel trim, a familiar bowtie mirror and correct Super Sport rocker guards. And at the back of the car, correct Super Sport trunk trim hangs red-detailed badging between vertical tail lamps and a second mirrored bumper.
Even if you forget everything else we tell you about this Chevy II, be sure to pay VERY close attention to what's under the car's hood. Motivating this real-deal Super Sport is a 1966-exclusive L79 V8 that, according to the factory, twists stout 11 to 1 compression into 350 Corvette-matching horsepower. Savvy collectors will quickly locate the original 327's correct 3791362 casting number, correct "ZI" suffix stamp and matching partial VIN. Casual observers will be quick to notice the mill's L79-exclusive polished, twin-snorkel air cleaner. And everyone will start to vibe when air and fuel flow from a big Holley carburetor in to a hot Winters intake that's framed by high-flow cylinder heads! That air/fuel mixture meets spark thanks to Packard TV R Suppression Cables, which crawl around polished valve covers on their way to a correct points distributor. Spent gases fall in to old school cast iron exhaust manifolds. There's a tagged radiator that joins a rebuilt alternator, a rebuilt master cylinder and a reproduction Delco battery to round out the car's first-rate ancillaries. And, when it comes to keeping up appearances, the entire engine compartment, from its Chevy Orange block to its Satin Black fenders, is clean, attractive and ready to roll!
One look under this sturdy compact reveals a solid chassis that's just as ready for the road as that stout 327. Power flows through an original Muncie 4-speed, which hangs a Muncie (P) assembled on March (03) 18th (18) 1966 build stamp behind a correct 3885010 casting number. That transmission twists a correct 12-bolt axle. Holding that virtually unbreakable drivetrain off the ground is a restored double A-arm front and leaf spring rear suspension. Stops come courtesy of manual drum brakes. Exhaust flows from the aforementioned manifolds to modern, aluminized pipes, which precede DynoMax Super Turbo mufflers with an H-shaped crossover. The body's unrestored floors wear a thick layer of original undercoating. And all that old school Americana rolls on traditional Chevrolet Rallies, which spin F70-14 Firestone redlines around polished trim rings and low profile center caps.
Regardless of what motor made its way in to the subframe, the Nova always stayed true to its simplistic roots. No place was that more evident than in the car's cockpit. Front and center, nicely restored thrones provide seating. A showroom-quality dash balances rebuilt gauges between a correct Delco pushbutton radio and an original, Maine-mandated 4-way flasher switch. Beneath that dash, a Corvette-style shifter rides a chrome-trimmed console, which floats on like-new carpet that's protected by color-keyed floor mats. At the sides of that carpet, classy door panels are, like the car's headliner and package tray, virtually devoid of weathering. In front of the driver, a wide steering wheel laps a polished, "CHEVY II" branded horn bar. And behind the passengers, a matted trunk hides a full-size spare tire beneath a decaled decklid.
A quick look at this Nova's VIN, cowl tag and Protect-O-Plate authenticates it status as a correct, real-deal L79 Super Sport.

So far as I know, no one has ever done this to an Olympic discus thrower.
Jeremy Hunt has introduced a new sport to the Games, to go with the discus, shot put, javelin.
Burly Drake cast the discus one hundred and thirty-four feet.
They were taught to box, to wrestle, to throw the discus, and to hurl the spear.
The throwers of the discus and the hammer were naturally at some disadvantage.
And we'll discus it in the presence of nobody, if ye, please.
The grandsire of all creatures is half my body; I am called Narayana, and I am bearer of the conch-shell, the discus and the mace.
Like throwing the discus, it calls for strength, speed and courage.
While he was in the air, he beheld a lofty stone pillar in front of a temple, with a discus on its summit.
The principal figure is on horseback with a discus round his head.
1650s, from Latin discus "discus, disk," from Greek diskos "disk, quoit, platter."
discus dis·cus (dĭs'kəs)
n. pl. dis·ci (dĭs'kī', dĭs'ī')
A flat circular surface; a disk.

New York Times best-selling author Marie Bostwick crafts a timeless tale of friendship, love, and the choices we must make in their name.
While New Bern, Connecticut, lies under a blanket of snow, Cobbled Court Quilts remains a cozy haven for its owner, Evelyn Dixon, and her friends. Evelyn relishes winter's slower pace—besides, Internet sales are hopping, thanks to her son Garrett's efforts. In addition to helping out at the shop, Garrett has also been patiently waiting for his girlfriend, Liza, to finish art school in New York City. But as much as Evelyn loves Liza, she wonders if it's a good idea for her son to be so serious so soon with a young woman who's just getting ready to spread her wings.
Liza's wondering the same thing, especially after Garrett rolls out the red carpet for a super-romantic New Year's Eve—complete with a marriage proposal. Garrett's the closest thing to perfect she's ever known, but what about her own imperfections? The only happy marriage Liza has ever seen is her aunt Abigail's, and it took her decades to tie the knot. Soon Liza is not only struggling with her own fears but with the mixed reactions of her friends and family. And when she finds herself torn between a rare career opportunity and her love for Garrett, Liza must grasp at the thinnest of threads and pray it holds.
Sew much more: listen to our other titles in the Cobbled Court series.

"Frustrating storyline"
I love this series, but find the Lyla character so frustrating. I just want to yell at her. Guess that is the idea of a good storyline.
The least interesting was the indecision of Lyla
Love the series, wouldn't have wated to miss it
"Engaging Reading and Insightful!"
Yes,. It had movement and grit and touched my emotions in so many ways.
The point where Liza and Garrett, announce they wouldn't be getting married to the awaiting family.
Liza Burgess
When Liza comes to realization of her own fragility and stands up for herself again, without the wall of sarcasm and hurt. Just herself, broken, fragile, and unsure.
"Great story!"
This is one of the best series I have ever purchased.
All of the characters are richly developed. They are not stereotypical but more like real friends. I really hated for the book to end.
These characters have been encouraging to me in my own sometimes difficult life. I find solace in listening to them as they resolve their struggles. They all feel like regular friends by the end of the book.
"another great book by Marie Bostwick"
I have enjoyed the continuation of the Cobbled Court Series. Again, Ms. Bostwick allows us to get to know these characters even more intimately and share in their joys and fears. She knows each person very well and gives voice to their changes through life. The narrators do a wonderful job of distinguishing each character as well.
"Good 3rd series"
The story line was a bit predictable - -I thought of where it was going long before we got there. Some of the characters were a bit naggy but that does fit with the story so it is OK. Over all was good. I'd recommend the series.
"great series"
you will really enjoy this series. Enjoy the family and story ---
worth it. a nice easy story --
"Not worth listening to!"
Someone that likes a slow moving book about nothing much at all.
Good, constant and dramatic.
"Enjoyable & Insightful"
Fun to occupy my mind during mundane chores, driving, b/4 bed or to simply sit & relax & listen!
I am a reader-reviewer, and love to help out all authors, especially up and coming authors.
"Book 3!"
Here is another great and inspiring book in the Cobbled Court Series. Every book so far has gotten better and better. I absolutely love the village of New Bern, and all the people that love there. I wish I could go there! The narration was great as always.
"Loved this book"
I am really enjoying these women's stories that are wound around quilting. I grew up quilting with family so that there was a quilt for every big occasion.

if i have one crystal beast in my spell&trap zone and my opponent activate heavy storm does ancient city rainbow ruins get destroy?
First Ruling:
- If "Demise, King of Armageddon"/"Heavy Storm"/"Malevolent Catastrophe"/etc would destroy "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" and at least 1 "Crystal Beast" card in your opponent's Spell/Trap Zone, then "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" is not destroyed because of the "Crystal Beast" card.
The crystal is not destroyed yet so the effect of Rainbow Ruins is still there, Heavy destroys all S/T simultaneously. (just in case, Power Tool Dragon will be destroyed by Black Rose Dragon because PTD says 'instead', unlike Rainbow Ruins) Falzar FZ 06:06, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
This correct 'Ancient City Rainbow Ruins' will not be destroyed as when the card was activated there was a crystal beast monster in your spell and trap zones, that crystal beast will be destroyed and not 'Ancient City Rainbow Ruins'. Frozen Abyss 09:40, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

If the season ended today, the Sixers would finish seventh in the Eastern Conference, their opponents in the first round, the Boston Celtics. It just so happens, those same Celtics will be arriving at the Wach in a few minutes for a 7 p.m. tip. Stats, keys, thoughts and in-game discussion after the jump.
This is probably another game where you can throw the stats out. Doc Rivers came out and said the final two games don't mean anything for the Celts, which they don't, so I don't see him extending the minutes for any of his starters unless he really wants to send a message to the Sixers. That's highly doubtful, though. The Celts have bigger things on their minds than a potential matchup with Philly starting this weekend.
So, what kind of mindset will the Sixers bring into the game. Look back over the past couple of months and you'll notice the trend we've all come to know and loathe. The Sixers don't show up for games they should win, they show up in spades for games they should lose. Which type of game is this?
Personally, I think it's a game they should win. Without Kevin Garnett, the Celtics are probably no better than the 4 seed in the East. Remove Ray Allen from the equation and they're back to being a lottery team (Allen will miss tonight's game with a one-game suspension). And that's assuming they're playing and coaching to win. Instead, we're going to see a heavy dose of Stephon Marbury instead of Rajon Rondo and Tony Allen instead of Paul Pierce. That lineup should be a gimme, it's all going to depend on the effort level of the Sixers.
Thad Young's return to the lineup is the key to the game for me. Rumor has it, he's good for 15-20 minutes, so the biggest question is when will those minutes come? Will DiLeo immediately put him back in the starting lineup and play him 8-10 minutes in the first and third quarters, or will he use him off the bench for 3 or 4 spurts off the bench.
Personally, I'd like to see him used with the second unit at the end of the first/beginning of the second and then again at the end of the third, beginning of the fourth. Obviously, my eyes are going to be glued to the kid's ankle. I want to see how he cuts off it, what his top-end speed is like and if he's at all hesitant to put the ball on the floor and go by his man. If he takes more jumpers tonight, fine, but he can't be limited to jumpers for the playoffs.
Another question is who loses minutes to get Thad back into the rotation. Here's a breakdown of the minute distribution among the bigs over the past 7 games (Check out Derek Bodner's awesome database over at Philly Arena for stats like these, by the way).
- Speights - 23:32
- Dalembert - 22:45
- Evans - 22:18
- Ratliff - 18:17
- Marshall (5 games) - 8:55
I sincerely hope the Sixers don't read the papers and take this game for granted. Unfortunately, if the last five games are any indication, they're more than capable of laying a giant egg on Fan Appreciation Night. Things could be worse, though. At least we know the Andres will show up on time for the game.

Numerology Decoder: Unlock the Power of Numbers to Reveal Your Innermost Desires an D Foretell Your Future
Many people are discovering numerology as an intriguing method for reading their own and their loved ones' personalities, aptitudes and fortune. Numerology Decoder takes readers into a world of hidden meanings and interprets a subject's personality by using a method based on his or her birth date, full name, and known name--or informal name. Various numerology systems have developed over thousands of years, but probably best known among them is the Pythagorean method, which originated in ancient Greece, and is used in this book. Each letter of the alphabet is assigned a number between 1 and 9--the so-called primary numbers--and each has a specific meaning. They include such attributes as strength, artistic talent, personal reliability, courage, and similar qualities. In addition are secondary numbers, with complexities explained in detail by the author. When correctly calculated, the numerology reader relies on three essential numbers: The Birth Number--indicating the subject's basic character The Full Name Number--indicating the subject's outer personality The Known Name Number--indicating the subject's inner or true personality. This handsomely illustrated volume explains how to determine and interpret all three classes of number and create a three-digit personality analysis. It also presents fascinating three-digit analyses of famous people, including Winston Churchill, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Princess Diana, and others. More than 200 full-color illustrations.
