To the Class of 2017:
My last week has consisted, primarily, of reading all of your Summer Blogging Contest entries, scouring your class Facebook page for any helpful hints or bits of advice I can offer, and trying to get my own self ready to head back to Baltimore this Friday to get cracking on Pre-Orientation work. To any rock climbers out there, I'll be seeing you in just a few short weeks.
Heading into sophomore year, my mindset about moving into a new apartment, getting back together with friends, and starting up classes again is far different than that of July and August a year ago. I've been wrapped up in my own mind: making lists, ordering textbooks, going through Pre-O gear inventory, and playing an awful lot of guitar. With that said, however, your Blogging Contest entries have truly been a joy to read, and I think more importantly have caused me to go back to that mindset from a year ago, and really think about what perceptions I had of how college life was going to be, and how those perceptions were wrong, or in some cases right, and what last minute, pre-move-in advice I can offer all of you.
From your entries, it has become clear that many of you, and probably more of you than will admit, share some of the same fears and anxieties that I faced a year ago (and occasionally still find myself dwelling upon). Many of you write about leaving home for the first time, or if not the first time at least being worried about being homesick. You write about leaving your pets at home (by far the hardest part about leaving for college). You write about spending hundreds of dollars at Bed Bath & Beyond and not knowing if you got any of the right stuff. You write about second-guessing your decision to attend Hopkins. You write about how people seem disappointed when they find out that no, you don't want to become a doctor (small confession: in certain conversations with certain people I've given up entirely on trying to confront this common misconception… As far as some people know, I'm studying to be a neurosurgeon… HA). You write about being worried about the difficulty of classes. You write about meeting new people. You write about taking the right classes. You write about expectations that you, and others, have for yourself. You write about nerves and excitement, doubt and confidence.
The unfortunate thing is that some of your worries and fears will come to fruition. You might fail a test or an assignment. You might not love your roommate right away. You might miss your parents (or more likely, your puppy). You might have packed way too much stuff for your dorm room. You might struggle with living in a dorm for the first time. You might not eat as healthily as you're used to. You might forget to workout. You might second-guess your major, your classes, or your abilities. You might begin to doubt that you're really cut out for this school.
In fact, more than likely, every single one of you will have at least one of these happen to you. Trust me. I was the most overconfident pre-frosh you've (probably) never actually met. Yeah, I knew it was going to be hard, but hey, I'm a tough guy, I was going to be able to handle it. The worst part about it all, I think, is that just when you think that you're getting the whole college thing figured out, whichever of these doubts, fears, and anxieties you experience, they will probably all hit you at the same time. I don't want to scare or warn you, or be that creepy guy at the gas station in the horror movie with that sign that says "You will die" that the eager teenagers ignore as they drive to their mysterious uncle's lake house. I just want to help try to prepare you.
The fifth week of college is the hardest one. If I had to pinpoint it exactly, I would say that the Thursday of the fifth week of classes of your freshman year is the toughest day you'll face in your college experience. That week, you'll probably get back your first midterm, and maybe you won't do as well as you'd hoped. You'll be right in the thick of classes, and won't have quite as much time to spend just hanging out with all of your new friends. You'll start to miss Mom's lasagna, or pork roast, or whatever your favorite food from home is. You won't have had the chance to pet a dog since you left home, and you'll notice it. Your high school friends will be totally immersed in their own new lives at college, and won't have quite as much time to stay in touch as they did right when you all first left home. People will already be talking about second semester classes- YIKES. You just got your first college B or C on a midterm in a class in your major, and you're supposed to start thinking about next semester?? That doesn't seem right. You've got a paper due on Monday and a party you want to go to on Saturday, and on top of it all, you have laundry that you haven't done for two weeks.
Take a deep breath. If reading that just sent your blood pressure through the roof, and now your heart is beating so fast it just feels like a constant buzz in your wrist instead of individual pulses, then just take a deep breath. I'm going to be real with you- college is hard. And on days like the fifth Thursday of classes, that is when, more than any other time, you're going to find yourself doubting your decision to attend Hopkins, to move away from home, and to challenge yourself in a way that many of your friends at home maybe are not doing. But I have complete faith in every professor, parent, admissions counselor, high school guidance counselor, principal, coach, or friend that, along your journey to college, has told you that you are capable of excelling at a school like Johns Hopkins. Each and every member of the JHU Class of 2017 has been given an amazing opportunity. You've been given a chance to attend a great institution, to learn from fantastic experts in every field imaginable, and to surround yourself with some of the most brilliant and inspiring minds of our generation. Each one of you deserves to be at this school, and each one of you is capable of doing unbelievably well at Johns Hopkins. So when your Week 5 hits, be it the second, third, fourth, seventh, or twentieth week, take a deep breath. Chill out. Seriously. You're going to be fine. You're at Johns Hopkins for a reason; it is completely natural to feel scared and overwhelmed at times, but you can do this. Just by your acceptance of your invitation to join the Johns Hopkins Class of 2017, I am confident that each one of you is in the right place. And reading your blogs has only further solidified that in my mind.
So be aware. College is going to be tough. The fact that many of you are already expressing some of your fears and anxieties, though, gives me great confidence that when those fears are realized, or you start to become overwhelmed, you are perfectly capable of handling them and pushing through to the greatness which you have been given this opportunity to achieve.
In your last three and a half weeks at home, get packed for school. Make your lists, go through your closets, throw out clothes that don't fit anymore, make trips to Goodwill, do whatever you need to do. But stay home for an extra dinner with your parents. Stay out extra late with your friends. Lay on the floor with your dog, or sleep in late with your cat. Keep making fun of your little brother or sister, and keep annoying your older siblings. Shamelessly buy a Taco Bell Taco 12-Pack for you and a couple good friends., and be sure to get 6 Doritos Locos Cool Ranch and 6 Doritos Locos Nacho tacos.
You're growing up and moving away to college, but when times get tough at school, those memories of this summer at home are going to be what get you through to another day. So hang in there, and I can't wait to see you all at Orientation.

Summer detour
by JUDY HODGSON
Art Director Carolyn Fernandez and I were in San Diego last week to attend the annual California Newspaper Publishers Association Conference -- our first. (This is the conference where publishers get together to discuss such weighty topics as, "Is anyone making any money on their web site?")
In the old days CNPA did not allow free circulation newspapers as regular members. Now, with two years under our belt as a weekly, we qualify for membership -- and the right to compete in its Better Newspapers Contest.
Happily we brought home one award -- a second in layout and graphic design. Carolyn and her merry graphics crew -- regulars Linda Schwend and Grace Kerr, and part-timers Cindy Noble and Rita Pender -- deserve all the kudos.
Times-Standard reporter Carla Martinez won a first for Spot News reporting on Julia Butterfly Hill's descent from her two-year treesit. And the mighty (little) Ferndale Enterprise brought home two CNPA awards -- a second for Editorial Comment and a first for Columns, Comment and Criticism. (Each newspaper competes in its circulation/frequency category: the Journal, weeklies up to 25,000; Times-Standard, dailies up to 25,000; and the Enterprise, weeklies up to 4,300.)
While we were there, my husband and I stayed in the home of some old friends we knew well in graduate school in Oregon in the late 1960s and early 1970s. We sat up far too late each evening trying to solve the world's problems, just like old times. (They were supporters of Bobby Kennedy and we were Eugene McCarthyites.)
Fast-forwarding to the present, it was interesting to learn that many of their current events sounded suspiciously like our current events -- airline irregularity, the fight to save historic buildings, nobody wanting a permanent homeless facility in their neighborhood. But unlike Humboldt, topic A in San Diego was the tripling of utility rates almost overnight following deregulation. (Maybe there are blessings in being behind the times for a change.)
There is a postscript to a story we ran two weeks ago regarding that annoying new PacBell service that offers to let you know when a busy number is free -- for 95 cents, that is. The word is, keep trying if you want the service removed. We were originally told it would take 48 hours, but we had to keep calling for nearly two weeks in order to get it off the line. It seems PacBell has been overwhelmed, we were told, once "some newspaper printed the number in the paper."
Oh, darn.
(For those of you who missed it, it's 1-800-791-6661. If you are put on hold for a lengthy time, you may try your request in writing to Pacific Bell Executive Offices, 140 New Montgomery St., San Francisco, CA 94105.)

Four investment advisers used the time-tested free dinner investment seminars at a Tampa restaurant to scam $3.9 million from more than a dozen investors, many of them retirees.
As the year winds down, consumers should tune into the debate over the fiduciary standard. The SEC may decide to move forward with the rule — or drop it.
After the rules go into effect in 2016, it will be possible for investors to lose money in money market funds -– mainly institutional investors.
Municipal bonds are debt securities issued by state and local governments to finance capital investment and other obligations.
The newest money market fund rules from the SEC could impose fees on investors and limit redemptions during times of stress.
The SEC has filed an action against a fake bank that allegedly defrauded investors out of millions.
A seemingly tough new boss has been announced as the head of the SEC.

With 46 percent population growth, Raleigh officially became one of the nation's fastest-growing cities, according to the 2010 Census. The latest release of data show Latino residents, traditional family households, female householders with children and households with relatives account for much of Raleigh's growth.
Race & Gender
Raleigh's Latino population grew more than 137 percent in the past decade. Among the population, highest growth rate was noted in the "other Hispanic or Latino" group (from 1.9 to 4.1 percent) with the Mexican population rising from 4.4 to 5.9 percent and smaller gains made by Puerto Rican and Cuban Raleigh residents.
On a gender note, Raleigh's female population rose slightly, from 50.5 percent in 2000 to 51.7 percent in 2010.
Raleigh is now home to more families and growing families. The Census defines a "family" as "group of two or more people who reside together and who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption." Family households now account for 55.9 percent of Raleigh households, compared to 54.5 percent in 2000.
The number of households with children under the age of 18 rose from 26.5 to 29 percent. The number of households headed by females without a husband present climbed from 2000's 11.4 percent to 13.5 percent in 2010. Growth was also seen in the number of females heading households with their own children under 18; the percentage climbed slightly from 7.2 percent to 8.6 percent.
The average family size, regardless of the head of household, is now 3.06 persons compared to 2.97 a decade ago.
Non-family households, defined as people living together who are not related by birth, marriage or adoption, fell to 44.1 percent from 45.5 percent. The percentage of householders living alone dropped slightly to 32.8 percent compared to 33.1 percent in the 2000 Census.
Senior households, where someone aged 65 years or older is in residence, increased slightly to 15 percent from 14.4 percent 10 years ago.
Through The Ages
Age-wise, Raleigh has grown both younger and older. On the "senior" side, the most growth noted was in the 55- to 59-year-old and 60- to 64-year-old age groups, both of which rose 1.2 percent. The 65- to 74-year-old age group remained steady.
On the "junior" side, children under 5 years of age increased from 6.3 to 7.2 percent of the population in the past decade, with the 5- to 9-year-old group rising 0.5 percent and the 10 to 14 year old grouping rising 0.4 percent.
Conversely, Raleigh lost residents ages 25 to 34 years; the percentage fell from 20.7 percent to 18.4 percent. The 35 to 44 year age group dropped slightly, from 2000's 15.9 percent to 15.2 percent in 2010.
In the latest Census, the "married couple" category was replaced by the "husband-wife family" category, but the new definition provides even more detail. Family households consist of a householder and one or more other people related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption, but same-sex married couples are excluded unless there is at least one additional person related to the householder by birth or adoption. As a result, same-sex couple households without relatives are counted as nonfamily households.
The number of households holding "other relatives" rose from 4.9 percent to 5.2 percent; whereas those holding nonrelatives fell to 8.4 percent compared to 9.2 in 2000. A slight uptick was noted in unmarried partner households, which rose from 2.2 to 2.7 percent.
Housing Inventory
All the newcomers needed somewhere to live and Raleigh housing units increased by 45.9 percent. Occupied housing units (rental or owner-occupied) fell from 93.3 percent in 2000 to 92.5 percent in 2010. Vacant housing units rose from 6.7 percent to 7.5 percent, compared to a national average of 11.4 percent.
Vacant rentals accounted for 8.3 percent of the total, compared to a national average of 9.2 percent. Homeowner vacancy rates totaled 2.1 percent, compared to a national average of 2.4 percent.
Of Raleigh's occupied housing units, owner-occupancies accounted for 51.6 percent of the total with renter-occupancies at 48.4 percent.
The average household size of owner-occupied units was 2.44 compared to the 2000 average of 2.43. Average renter-occupied housing units had an average household size of 2.26, up slightly from 2.15 percent in the last Census; the national average is 2.44.
The next release of Census 2010 data is due in a few months, but the exact date is unknown at this time. The future release will contain more detailed data on race, gender, age, relationships, households and housing.

In April 2002, James Traficant was found guilty of what crime?
In 2002, Ohio congressman James Traficant was charged with accepting bribes. For many Americans, the televised trial was their first chance to experience him in all his offbeat glory, but Ohio residents had known him and his shockingly obvious hairpiece for decades. The 2002 trial was his second for bribery --- the first had been in 1983, when he became the only person to ever win a RICO case while acting as his own attorney. However, the second time he wasn't so lucky, and he received a seven-year sentence.

The predictability of industry portfolio returns
This article studies the predictability of stock returns from industry portfolios. Consistent with the habit formation framework of Campbell and Cochrane (1999, 2000), we find that reasonably large portions of predictability of long-horizon industry portfolio returns are explained by the ratio of aggregate consumption in surplus of habit or its instrument, the consumption-wealth ratio. The time-varying βs and, more importantly, time-varying market risk premium associated with either the surplus consumption ratio or the consumption-wealth ratio help explain the predictable variation of long-horizon expected returns on over half of the industry portfolios. The conditional Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) with βs varying with the proposed conditioning variable performs better than the static CAPM, but not as well as the Fama-French (1993, 1997) three-factor model in explaining the time-series variability of returns.

TONY Smith was impressed with Wolves' under 19s when they made it 12 wins from 13 in a curtain-raiser to the Super League clash at Hull KR.
"Hull KR put it to them and they stuck to it and showed their class in the end," he said. "I was delighted for them and that's without a couple of their key players in George King and Joe Philbin who were with us."

COASTGUARDS were called to attend dive charter boat Wight Spirit at 3.15pm yesterday afternoon after a diver showed signs of decompression sickness.
The boat made a Mayday call reporting the 57-year old man was suffering from decompression sickness after a 65 metre dive roughly 35 miles south of the Isle of Wight.
A coastguard helicopter operating at Portland airlifted the diver from the boat to the landing site in Poole where he was met by coastguard rescue officers, a specialist dive doctor and an ambulance.
He was then taken to the nearby hyperbaric recompression chamber for treatment.

The Galaxy S6 and its curvy cousin Edge are among this year's hottest phones. The Verizon editions are getting their first update, and there's several goodies that are included. Many other phones and tablets also scored some Lollipop this week, so let's tackle the rest of those updates.
Each week we compile all the major software updates for the biggest devices, including phones and tablets on U.S. carriers, unlocked phones, and Android Wear watches. Making sure your device is running the latest available software is a good housekeeping practice, ensuring you have the latest features with fewer bugs and gaping security holes.
Galaxy S6, S6 Edge: The Verizon support page for Samsung's flagship phones doesn't list one standout feature, but it promises a lot of little fixes and new features. The built-in photo editor app now has a drawing mode in case you ever feel like doodling. There are also improvements to the dialer, such as an emergency call button and improved voice performance.
LG G Pad 10.1 LTE: It's your turn for Android Lollipop. Verizon's update page details all the Material Design and other goodies that come with Android 5.0.2. The tablet of course carries LG's interface overlay, but it's a rather minimal skin.
Xperia Z3: This update finally brings Android Lollipop and enables access to band 12, which is 70MHz spectrum that T-Mobile recently purchases for LTE. The T-Mobile support page for this update is live, so the new software should be on its way to your device soon.
U.S. Cellular
Galaxy Tab S 10.5: You're finally getting Lollipop in the form of Android 5.0.2. The details are on Samsung's support site, which specifies all the new features in Lollipop. The over-the-air update should hit your tablet anytime.
Z Series: Here comes another massive batch of updates to Sony's smartphones and tablets. Sony says Android 5.0 is already on the way to the Xperia Z, Z1, Z2, and Z3. The Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia C3 are going all the way up to Android 5.1, though that's not going to begin until July. Sony also pledged to update the Xperia M2 and M2 Aqua to Android 5.1, but didn't offer a timeline for when that would happen.

Case Study
An oil field operator wished to better understand waterflood distribution across a stratified carbonate formation at a distance away from the individual injection wells. The information gained would allow a better understanding of vertical sweep efficiency and determine whether Production Logging Tool (PLT) data obtained in water injection wells was representative of actual sweep properties "deep" within the reservoir. Data generated would enable an enhanced understanding of field waterflood flow, allow better design of infill drilling and chemical treatments to maximise hydrocarbon recovery.
Project Design
Tracerco selected a unique and proven radiotracer that was compatible with the injection water, connate water and formation type to ensure its flow with the water phase through the formation. The Upper Zone, covering six meters (20 feet) of the formation, was selected to test. A suitable injection well was picked that was less than 30 meters (100 feet) away from another well targeting lower zone production. The radiotracer properties ensured emission's were able to penetrate the cement and casing of the Lower Zone Producer well. This allowed a standard gamma logging tool to be employed to log the Lower Zone Producer twice daily for the first thirty days to determine change in Gamma API units with time across the Upper Zone. Figure 1 shows well bore positioning.
A water injection profile log was carried out in the Upper Zone injector that was to take the radiotracer material to determine vertical injection positioning. Tracerco mobilised to the field and injected the radiotracer over a one hour time period with no impact on normal operations.
A baseline gamma log was taken in the Lower Zone production well immediately prior to injection. Gamma logs were repeated every 12 hours across the Upper Zone to detect the presence of any change in radiation intensity versus time. After a 30 day time period the log frequency was changed to once every day for another 15 days.
Gamma log data was reviewed and specific vertical layers were analysed over time for changes to gamma API units. Tracer was detected in several vertical layers with an increase and decrease with time as the radiotracer moved past the observation position.
Summation of the Gamma API response across each one foot vertical section then allowed a comparison of relative fluid flow past the observation point to be determined. The table below shows this analysis and the resulting injection water flow profile deep in the Upper Zone reservoir.
Comparison of the water injection profile with the relative water flow data deep within the formation showed good correlation. This provided the customer with the confidence that spinner surveys in injection wells could be used to determine vertical sweep in the Upper Zone.
Clearly the presence of channel flow detected in the injectivity gamma logs provided the customer with information on those positions to target with a suitable recovery plan to maximise extraction from the whole of the Upper Zone formation.
The technology can also be applied in a similar manner using gaseous radiotracer technology to injection gas projects or CO2 floods.
For more information about Tracer technology please fill out an enquiry form detailing your requirements and we will get back to you.

What's being said
This is really AMAZING. There are so many people out of work and here are employees striking who have a job and are getting paid, but want a new contract. This is the problem with unions.
The salary of most experienced attorneys (5 years ) is about the average entry level attorney's salary. It is not like they are earning 80K . They have very heavy and stressful workload. Nonetheless, they decided to work in the public interest field because of their passion for social justice. Therefore, the employer should not further exploit them by cutting back their benefits and salary.
The LSSA union is definitely NOT a corrupt organization. People who make accusations against this union in this forum should show substantial evidence of such corruption. Without the union, most workers nowadays would not be enjoying the 5-day work week, paid-sick leave and vacation, workplace safety, etc. This is a fight that must be fought continuously. It is sad to see that people took all these benefits for granted and thought they were always given out of the employer's own good will.
The article doesn't say how much these people earn, apart from health care. Are they fairly paid?
FIre em all, hire new, younger attorneys willing to pay more for their own healthcare, and caring enough not to walk off the job and leave thousands in limbo. Unions used to be needed; now they are nothing but corrupt organizations, getting rich of the 'dues' paid, while offering nothing but bad PR and litigation when their extortion techniques fail.

Serious Business
Focus on Leadership
Students develop as leaders through an integrative learning environment where the classroom and real world meet.
- Competence
- Character
- Commitment to community
Learn more about the McColl School experience.
Jane McIntyre recalls the blank stares, the bored faces. In that classroom in the mid-1990s, some of her fellow students were unenthusiastic about the organizational behavior class at Queens' School of Business.
But for McIntyre, then a business planner with Carolinas HealthCare System who was pursuing an MBA in her spare time, the course lit a fire beneath her. She realized she loved trying to understand what makes people tick. She was fascinated by behavioral assessment tests, which show how people work together. And she was heartened by instructor Karen Geiger's advice that those who loved the topic belonged in a leadership role.
Today, as executive director of United Way of Central Carolinas, McIntyre keeps a binder on a shelf above her desk with the personality profiles of her leadership team. Shortly after starting there in 2009, she gave personality tests to her top executives, to learn how they communicate and make decisions. Like a lot of private businesses, the United Way now gives the test to potential hires to help gauge their suitability for the organization.
McIntyre's experience at the United Way is just one of many examples of McColl School MBA graduates who are applying the business principles they learned to local nonprofit agencies. While some see an MBA as a way to speed their ascent on the corporate ladder, a growing number of business-school alumni are helping charities run more like businesses.
And indeed, they are businesses, with big budgets, lofty fundraising goals, limited resources and high expectations from board members and the public.
- Jane McIntyre, executive director of United Way of Central Carolinas
The McColl School does not keep statistics on how many of its graduates wind up in nonprofit organizations. But school officials say the percentage seems in line with national figures. A survey released in 2013 by the Graduate Management Admission Council, an organization of business schools that administers admissions tests, showed that roughly 11 percent of recent graduates were employed in nonprofit or government work-a slight uptick from five years earlier.
When MBA programs started becoming popular in the 1950s, they were mainly a way for liberal arts graduates to receive a general understanding of business, explains Ron Shiffler, dean of the McColl School. Today, though, graduate business schools are just as likely to have students with business backgrounds as those with non-business backgrounds, and there is great diversity in the topics business schools emphasize. Some are renowned for marketing, for example, or for finance.
The McColl School emphasizes leadership. The school has nearly 300 graduate students enrolled in its four degree programs: two MBA programs, plus master's degrees in organization development and executive coaching. With 80 students, the master in organization development is the largest such program in the country.
The focus on leadership makes sense in Charlotte, which has a long and proud history of business leaders playing leading roles in civic life. Teaching about leadership reaps dividends not just for business leaders, but for leaders in nonprofits as well.
One of those looking to learn about leadership was Shirley Fulton. As Mecklenburg County's Senior Resident Superior Court judge in the late 1990s, she had the task of managing the local court system, which she says was "like an octopus."
"I thought the coursework and the degree would help me better manage a totally unmanageable court system," she says. "It helped me build consensus to get people in key positions in the system to work together."
She earned her degree in 1998, and since leaving the bench in 2003 has been active in a number of nonprofits, including the Law and Community Foundation, which provides law school scholarships and legal clinics, as well as a nonprofit that supports Charlotte's Wesley Heights neighborhood.
Others say they decided to pursue MBAs to help advance their careers, but then wound up in the nonprofit world.
When he started his MBA at Queens in 1998, Michael Giang was working as a controller at a plumbing and heating company in Charlotte. He fondly recalls working on case studies, a popular business-school learning method in which groups of students work together to devise solutions to real-life situations.
"It blends together all that you learn and gives you the ability to make things happen that you have not been able to do before," he says. "You learn quickly how to work with each other and decide on the best approach."
He started using that approach at work, then soon found a new job as chief financial officer with Holy Angels, an organization in Belmont, NC, that works with special-needs children and adults. Critical thinking and problem-solving came in handy as he soon started taking on the broader responsibilities of information technology, purchasing and fundraising. "In nonprofits, you wear a lot of hats," he says.
In recent decades, the emphases of both business schools and nonprofit organizations have shifted. In a way, they are drawing closer to each other: business schools are seeking closer community ties, while nonprofits are trying to become more businesslike.
After Enron and other financial scandals, and a deep recession, business schools are under renewed pressure to increase the emphasis on ethics and civic involvement. At the same time, in the last quarter century or so, boards of nonprofit organizations-which are typically composed of business leaders-have increasingly become interested in hiring executives who are comfortable not only implementing programs, but who are proficient in finance, human resources, management and quantitative measures of success.
Most nonprofits today rely less on informal decision making than they did in the past. Andy Calhoun, CEO of the YMCA of Greater Charlotte, illustrates this point. He says that in the late 1970s, when the YMCA sought a site for a new south Charlotte branch, it leaned heavily on the instinct and experience of civic leader Jimmy Harris, whose family owned much of the SouthPark area and donated a prime parcel to the Y. The branch, on the corner of Quail Hollow and Sharon roads, is now known as the Harris YMCA and is used by about 25,000 members.
Today, planning for branches is typically more methodical. In exploring the possibility of a new branch in Union County, for example, the Y performed detailed market studies of three or four sites, examining factors such as location, visibility and potential costs.
"If you do not have an understanding of how to lead a nonprofit in a businesslike manner, you cannot succeed and you cannot thrive," says Calhoun, a 40-year veteran of the Y who earned his MBA from Queens in 1991. He credits his MBA with changing his "wiring and thinking" and with helping him move up more quickly in the organization. Today, the Y has 150,000 members, 35 locations and a budget of more than $75 million.
"With an MBA from Queens, you're not going to just use your instinct," he says. "You're going to use a pragmatic approach."
At the Levine Museum of the New South, chief executive Emily Zimmern drew on her McColl School MBA to help guide the museum through two tough economic times: the recent recession, and the previous one, after the 9-11 attacks.
As a history major who had worked in human resources, she sought an MBA to hone her financial skills and to develop as a leader. After becoming involved in many local civic organizations, she signed on with the museum in 1995, and just a few years later, those financial skills were put to the test.
The 2001 terrorist attacks presented a host of problems for the museum: charitable giving to the arts dried up, people became wary of holding holiday parties uptown, the stock market fell and potential visitors stayed away.
To Zimmern, the lesson was that nonprofits need strong financial management to survive such jolts.
"The MBA is so incredibly useful in so many ways, because in order to operate efficiently, it is critical to understand the finances," she says. "You can't serve the community responsibly without sound fiscal management."

WASHINGTON (Nov. 24)
The German authorities have agreed to permit distribution of American Red Cross supplies in Poland without racial or religious discrimination but have not yet authorized a Red Cross representative to oversee the distribution, it was announced today.
The Red Cross is now preparing to send medical supplies and clothing valued at $250,000 into Nazi-dominated Poland as part of a relief program which is expected to cost $1,000,000.
A cable from James T. Nicholson, Red Cross representative now in Berlin, said the Germans had agreed to permit distribution of the supplies without discrimination and to allow a Red Cross representative to oversee shipment of the supplies from Berlin.
The fact that the Nazis have not yet agreed to allow a Red Cross representative to oversee the distribution in Poland is an important point, according to United States Government officials, who expressed fears that little if any of the supplies would reach opponents of the Nazi regime unless the Red Cross was insistent on this point. Whether the Red Cross would insist on complete supervision of the distribution before embarking on large-scale relief in Poland remained in doubt today.
Thus far, contributions for Polish relief received by the Red Cross total $229,000. The remainder of the anticipated $1,000,000 requirements will be expended from the Disaster Relief Fund. The most pressing need, the Red Cross said, is for typhus serum and other vaccines in Warsaw. There is a tremendous need for new hospital equipment in Warsaw, also, because so many of the hospitals were blasted by bombs and shells during the siege. Reports reaching the Red Cross here are that only five per cent of Warsaw's houses remain undamaged and intact and that 30 per cent of the habitations have been completely demolished.
Besides medical supplies, the Red Cross intends to send blankets and warm clothing into Poland. Thus far the only Red Cross aid allowed by the Germans in Poland has been medical supplies valued at $25,000 for Polish war wounded.

METAIRIE — After finally getting through a busy second day of the NFL draft late Friday night, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton managed to smile while reminding reporters of something:
"This is the time of year everyone says, 'We got our guys,' " he said.
Of course, Payton said this after the Saints managed to pick up two of the players they targeted going into the second day of the draft, which consisted of the second and third rounds.
Since they didn't have a second-round pick, the Saints knew the third round was going to be important after they chose safety Kenny Vaccaro in the first round a night earlier.
What happened once the second round became the third, sometime after the dinner hour, turned a potentially slow evening for the Saints into a fast-paced end to the third round, which could eventually define this draft.
In a matter of 20 minutes, the Saints used a third-round pick to take Arkansas-Pine Bluff tackle Terron Armstead and made two trades to select Georgia defensive tackle John Jenkins — two players they had targeted earlier in the day.
The middle part of the deal — the trade of running back Chris Ivory — made the whole thing possible. Ivory went to the New York Jets for a fourth-round pick, which the Saints packaged and sent to the Miami Dolphins for the 82nd pick used to take Jenkins.
It was a last-second deal but well worth it for the Saints because they took care of areas of need on their offensive and defensive lines and landed players they coveted.
By the time the Saints turned in the card with Jenkins' name on it at draft headquarters in New York, they beat the five-minute time limit with just seconds to spare.
"That was pretty close," General Manager Mickey Loomis said Saturday. "I think there were 20 or 30 seconds left when that thing finally got completed. That put Miami under the gun more than us because they were the ones on the clock at that time. But there was no panic, and all of the parties did a good job. But it does get a little harrowing when you get down to 20 seconds left."
At the same time, Loomis said, it was exciting because of what the Saints got out of it.
"Yeah, I would call it exciting," he said. "It was like hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait. And then, boom, we had a lot to do in a short period of time.
"It gets your heart going a little bit."
Vaccaro is the No. 1 pick who could wind up challenging for a starting spot in training camp, but the third-round deals could turn out to be a second centerpiece to this draft.
When all was said and done Saturday, the Saints picked up a player who could help them right away, two more who could potentially be stalwarts on the offensive and defensive lines, and two players — wide receiver Kenny Stills Jr. and defensive end Rufus Johnson — who could be role players.
On paper, it looks good for the Saints, even though we won't know just how good for a while.
But as Payton said, "Everyone says, 'We got our guys.' "

giacuisine6 MAR, 2011Fantastic and clever way to serve pork! I followed the recipe very close but subbed a bone-in pork chop that was very thick, so I finished it in the oven for about ten minutes. Be sure to make the cabbage too. Excellent meal!Reply

Bollywood is the most popular term in the world of cinema or films.Not only in India, but people all over the world love to watch Bollywood films.One can say this by the popularity of Bollywood movies abroad.Indians and non-Indians both enjoy the colorful world of Bollywood.Not only movies, but Bollywood actors are also popular among masses.Bollywood is also popular for one more thing, Controversies.Let's have a look at the eight most controversial Bollywood films of 2012.
8.Dabangg 2 : Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Dabangg 2 is all set to release this week on December 21, 2012.Dabangg 2 is the sequel to 2010 blockbuster Dabangg.Directed by Abhinav Kashyap and starring Salman Khan as Chulbul Pandey, Dabangg broke all previous records in box office.Abhinav is not a part of the franchise anymore, Arbaaz Khan is the Director of Dabangg 2.Abhinav Kashyap was also the co-writer of Dabangg and there were some questions about who holds the copyright over the film's story.Arbaaz Khan made it very clear that Dabangg 2 is a new story set in a different location.He further clarified…
Let me set the record straight once for and all here. Story of Dabangg is with us and Abhinav doesn't have any rights with him. In any case, the original writer of Dabangg was Dilip Shukla while Abhinav only made contribution to the film's screenplay. Now with Dabangg 2 starting afresh, there isn't anyone who can come and stake any claim whatsoever.
7.Talaash : Aamir Khan's latest release "Talaash" is no doubt a good dose of entertainment, but before the films release there were reports of clash between Director of the film Reema Kagti and Aamir.According to the report Mr.Perfectionist was not satisfied with the output of some parts of the film and he wanted to reshoot those scenes.Director Reema Kagti refused to do so and that lead to an argument, following which Aamir said he will be unavailable for the promotion of the film.Later both Aamir and Reema clarified that there's no such argument and it's a false buzz.
6.Jab Tak Hai Jaan : Yash Chopra's last tale of love and sacrifice also landed into controversy.Before the release of the film the makers got a legal notice from Actor-Producer Ajay Devgn.Ajay's film "Son Of Sardaar" also released at the same time and he was unhappy with the monopolistic business of Yash Raj Production.According to Ajay, Yash Raj Production was taking advantage of their strong position in Indian cinema market to get more screens allotted to "Jab Tak Hai Jaan".
5.Student Of The Year : I salute Karan Johar's courage to mix and remix same old scripts and make big budget craps out of it.A rich and pretty girl, two fair and handsome guys and a over glamorous high school, there's a lot of imagination behind it, right? But that's not what we are talking about here, we are talking about controversies and SOTY may not have attracted crowd, but the movie managed to run into controversy.One of the song "Radha" was hugely criticized by Hindus as the makers call Radha sexy.FIR was lodged in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district under section 294 (Obscene acts and songs to annoyance of others), 295 (deliberate and malicious act intended to hurt religious feelings and 295A (injuring or defiling place of worship intended to insult the religion) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
4.Heroine : Madhur Bhandarkar is one of those directors who believes in making films that reflects reality or real life, Heroine wasn't different.Madhur Bhandarkar's heroine for this movie was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but because of her pregnancy which according to Madhur was kept secret for quite sometime, he dropped Aishwarya all of a sudden and decided to go with Kareena Kapoor.He was very upset and said that Aishwarya's pregnancy would not have gone well with her character as a diva.After the initial posters of Aishwarya in and as Heroine, the sudden change was enough to make the film the hottest topic in social networks.
3.Barfi : One of the most beautiful films of recent times "Barfi" also landed into controversy.A Mumbai based company, Murphy Enterprises, sent legal notice to UTV Motion pictures for using their trademark Murphy without NOC.The makers of the movie used the word Murphy in a song.The lines of the song…
Barfi Jab Amma Ji Ki Kokh Me Tha Soya
Amma Ne Murphy Ka Radio Mangaaya
Murphy Munna Jaisa Lala Amma Ka Tha Sapna
Munna Jab Haule Haule Duniya Me Aaya

2.Jism 2 : The Bhatt's are famous for making films with erotic content and they went a step further with Jism 2.Pooja Bhatt, director of the film introduced Indo-Canadian adult film star Sunny Leone in this erotic thriller.Jism 2 sensual promotional poster was the first to grab eyeballs and was the beginning of the controversies.There were reports that the sensual poster of the film is copied from Felix Bendish's visual for a fashion show back in 2010.Later it was also disclosed that the girl in Jism 2 promotional poster is originally not Sunny Leone but model, Nathalia Kaur.That's not all, according to reports the title track of Jism 2 "Yeh Jism" was also copied from a Turkish song.After all controversies and heavy marketing the movie still failed to get people's attention.
1.Hate Story : The most controversial Bollywood film of 2012 is Vikram Bhatt's Hate Story.Indians are still not completely ready to digest such bold subjects and talk about a film with such skin show, at least not publicly.The film got mixed response from the public, some love it and some hate it.The main cause of controversy was the films erotic content.Bong beauty Paoli Dam made her Bollywood debut with this film.First she raised many eyebrows with the promotional poster where her bare back was exposed and then the sensual trailer.The film got an 'A' certificate and was heavily censored because of sexual content and nudity.

The fee for a standard 10 year adult passport will increase from £33 to £42 and a child's passport will rise from £19 to £25.
In addition, travellers will no longer be allowed to amend passports.
The cost of getting a passport quickly will also rise.
The guaranteed same-day premium service will rise from £78 to £89 for a standard passport, from £64 to £71 for a child's passport, and from £85 to £95.50 for a 48-page passport.
The one-week "fast track" service will rise from £63 to £70.
Fees for applications made overseas to British consular posts will also rise, but they will continue to offer an amendment service.
The millions raised by charging more for UK passports will be used to set up fraud investigation units in passport offices across the UK, and to invest in new technology.
Last year, the UK Passport Office said that within four years British passports could be fitted with computer chips.
These could contain biometric information about their holders' fingerprints, iris patterns, hand geometry, and voice print.
The introduction of biometric chips in passports would bring the UK into line with new International Civil Aviation Organisation standards on preventing passport fraud.

John Mayer, Demi Lovato + More to Perform at Philly 4th of July Jam
Are you ready to rock out at the largest free concert in America?! We bet you are! John Mayer, Demi Lovato, Ne-Yo and J. Cole are all set to perform at the 2013 Philly 4th of July Jam!
The Roots, who are Philadelphia natives, will serve as the house band for this extravaganza that will kick off (duh) July 4 on Benjamin Franklin Parkway as a part of the city's Welcome America! weeklong festival. The mayor of Philly, Michael A. Nutter, praised the concert lineup in a press release (via Billboard) as an, "incredibly talented group of musicians." We couldn't agree more!
John Mayer, of course, is coming off a vocal surgery and his Philly 4th of July Jam will kick off extensive touring for the singer-songwriter in support of his upcoming album that is due out in June. Having been away from the stage for quite some time, Mayer's tour will run from July until October.
Demi Lovato hasn't announced any significant touring plans yet besides her Wango Tango and KISS 108 concerts, so this could be the start of a large string of shows for the 'Heart Attack' singer as well. At least that's what we're hoping! She does have to promote her upcoming 'DEMI' album afterall…
What better way to celebrate freedom on the 4th of July than in Philly with Demi Lovato and John Mayer?

SPRING HILL — The paintings evoke messages of helplessness, fear, courage and hope. But anyone who knows the story behind Patricia Ritter's emotive works can certainly appreciate their importance to the artist.
Ritter, a cancer survivor, began putting her experience battling the disease into a series of oil pastel paintings she has dubbed A Mermaid's Tale: Surviving the Stormy Seas of Cancer. Her hope was to chronicle her struggles, while giving hope to others facing similar challenges.
"I'm an artist, and this is how I express myself," said Ritter, 55, of Spring Hill. "I found myself suddenly facing a horrible reality, a dramatic change in my life. My hope was to somehow convey the feelings and emotions that I've gone through and to inspire others not to give up hope."
The five portraits, which are on display in the lobby at CenterState Bank in Spring Hill, chronicle Ritter's ordeal, from her diagnosis of gynecological cancer in 2008, through two surgeries and rounds of radiation and chemotherapy treatments, and finally to her recovery.
The renderings are unique in that in each one Ritter portrays herself as a mermaid. She explained that over time she has come to view the mythical creatures as spiritual symbols of courage and fearlessness; they offer a sort of alter ego to her normally demure personality.
"When you are faced with a cancer diagnosis, you suddenly feel very isolated," she said "Your friends and family are encouraging you, and you have wonderful doctors and nurses caring for you. But in the end, you are forced to reach deep within yourself to find the strength to pull you through."
Although brightly hued, the paintings capture an emotional roller coaster Ritter faced as she battled her illness.
In Mermaid's Misfortune, as Ritter pondered her diagnosis, her mermaid character is trapped helplessly in a net. Her loved ones, portrayed as fish, swim about in a show of support.
Her successful surgery at St. Joseph's Women's Hospital in Tampa is captured in Escape, in which Ritter portrays her surgeon as an octopus rescuing her from the disease.
Ritter, who had formal art training in Michigan, felt it was important not only to convey her emotions, but also to do so in the mosaic impressionism style she developed several years ago.
"I felt a need to stay close to the quality of work I normally do," said Ritter, whose work has been shown in several Hernando County galleries. "While they are very personal paintings to me, they also represent my values as an artist."
Although she remains cancer-free, Ritter considers her battle against the disease far from complete. Her goal is to sell individual paintings and prints to raise money for cancer research.
"I don't think anyone who has been touched by this disease ever totally lets go of it," she said. "You try to pass along what you've learned and experienced from it. Every bit of encouragement you can give can go a long way in helping others."

The dive sites along mainland Sulawesi had more black sand seabeds, while the dive sites along Lembeh Island were more coral rocks. This has probably to do with the way the current flows.
I expected Lembeh to be shallow, like 12m all the way, but actually the depths vary and can be quite deep, going up to 25-30m for certain sites. We even did a deco dive once!
But whatever the depth, the marine life is so varied that you'll see all sorts of things at any depth. Even at 3m, we saw a huge helmet shell.
From aboard the boat during our surface interval at Hairball2, we could see the sea anemones, resident clownfish and Banggai cardinalfish on the shallow 3m seafloor.
I think the best night dives we've had are those in Lembeh. You see an amazing amount of action because a lot of the marine creatures in Lembeh are quite nocturnal, like the shrimps, crabs and eels.

Things to Note
Important: The Lembeh Straits water tends to be a little colder (26 degrees Celcius in dry season) than Bunaken or Gangga (a throw away from the mouth of the northern end of Lembeh Straits). Having said that, on one trip in March 2009, the water was a lovely 28-29 degrees Celcius every day. However, we suspect that this was an exception rather than the norm, and that the water would go down one or two degrees because we experienced a really cold upwelling during one dive and we could see the shimmer of the cold water coming right for us. You are strongly encouraged to email your Lembeh dive operator before your trip to double-check the water temperature and weather. You never know, you may need some time to find and pack extra insulation.
If you're unlucky and it rains during the dry and cool season, be warned that the rain, wind, and cool ambient temperature can make you miserably cold, as evidenced by the 24 degrees on my dive computer. Once it was too cold to spend the surface interval on the boat, and we had to go back to the resort! (Where I promptly poured hot water down my wetsuit to stop the shivering. I was already wearing 3 layers, mind you.)
But this is divewithsus.com - there is a bright side! The good thing about this is big fish do pass through - fishing boats have caught whale sharks and mantas in the Straits! Yopie has seen a whale shark twice.
In fact there used to be a net in the northern of the Straits, but it was removed many years ago. Fish life is improving and we hope it stays that way. We've seen giant barrucuda, schools of batfish and many schools of bannerfish and angelfish.

Citation: Chen, J., Andres, A., Lazarenko, O., Ronis, M.J., Badger, T.M. 2014. Infant formula increases bone turnover favoring bone formation [abstract]. The FASEB Journal. 28(1 Supplement):1027.8. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: In the first year of life, the major infant food choices have traditionally been breast milk (BM), cow's milk formula (MF), or soy formula (SF). Studies examining the effects of infant formula on early life skeletal development are extremely limited. We have enrolled 120 healthy 6-month-old infants who were fed BM (n=40), MF (n=40), or SF (n=40), and studied bone turnover markers in urine. Bone formation marker osteocalcin which is only secreted by osteoblasts was measured by a urine ELISA kit generated in our laboratory. Bone resorption marker, collagen crosslink N-terminal telopeptide (NTx), was measured using a commercial kit. While there were no significant differences between MF and SF groups in bone formation and resorption markers, osteocalcin was substantially increased in both MF and SF groups compared to those from BM group (p < 0.01). NTx was also increased in both MF and SF groups compared to those from BM group (p < 0.05), but to a lesser degree. We reproduced these results in a piglet animal model where male and female neonatal piglets (n=6 per group) were fed BM, MF, or SF for 20 days. Similar to what we found in infants, there were no gender differences in increased osteocalcin in MF and SF groups in urine compared to those from BM group. Increased bone mass was associated with urinary osteocalcin in MF and SF piglet groups. These results suggest increased bone turnover favoring more bone formation occurs in formula-fed compared to breast-fed infants.
