The Iowa Governor's STEM Advisory Council has just selected nine STEM education programs to receive more than $3 million in state funds. That tidy sum may allow them to reach as many as 100,000 Iowa children in the 2017/2018 school year.
Change the Equation proudly collaborated with the Council on this critical work. We help leaders in Iowa and six other states identify and scale programs that are most likely to have an impact. All too often, state funds go to programs with the glossiest brochures. Our STEMworks protocol requires programs to prove their effectiveness
Iowa used STEMworks to review STEM programs and found that nine of them are worthy of state support:
Iowa's approach has been paying off. Their research finds that students who participate in STEMworks programs outperform those who do not. Given that they reach roughly 100,000 students every year, that's a lot of bang for their 3.2 million bucks.
Other state STEMworks partners will soon announce their results as well. Stay tuned!
What first sparked your interest in STEM as a career path?
Development opportunities, available experiences, and options.
Job satisfaction has always been important to me, so when looking at career paths, I wanted to ensure that I had opportunities to continually learn and develop new skills, access to a broad range of experiences and the ability to change jobs with ease as my interests changed over the years.
When I entered college, there were very few women in engineering fields, I saw this both as a challenge and as an opportunity to pave the way for others. Engineering was a way that I could utilize my love for math to develop new technologies that address both local and global challenges.
How did you get involved in STEM mentoring?
I did not have many STEM role models available to me as a child, during college I sought them out. My very first mentor proved invaluable; she encouraged me to not only develop myself but also sparked my interest in developing others. This grew into a passion for me, and today I mentor students interested in pursuing STEM careers, coach mentors of students and advocate for my community through board leadership and business partnerships.
I am very fortunate to have an opportunity to work with Saint Paul Public School students through 3M STEP (Science Training Encouragement Program). As chair of this program, I help students see how the science principles learned in the classroom are applied to create transformative products and technologies. Through mentoring, classroom instruction and summer employment in a 3M laboratory, STEP students increase their job skills, gain insight into scientific careers, and enhance their personal development. Paying it forward and giving back on behalf of those who spent, and continue to spend, their time mentoring me has been a big driver, and I encourage others to do the same. Building our communities to be successful in the future is important to me. STEM skills are highly transferrable and in demand – creating not only valuable but tangible opportunities for the students of today.
How do you leverage your experience as a mentor in your professional life?
Mentoring provides reflection and perspective and has enabled me to be a better leader. It has enhanced my problem solving skills, sharpened my critical thinking abilities, reinforced the value of listening and being mindful in my daily interactions and taught me to communicate and coach more effectively.
Much of the advice that I provide is relevant in my own life. One common example: I often encourage mentees to not be so hard on themselves, to be more kind to themselves – this is also a challenge for me every day. Learning to manage expectations, of yourself and others, can be an asset to you in your career and personal life.
My love of learning also enables me to leverage my experience. The perspective that mentees can provide enables me to stay relevant and seek appropriate feedback. Once a good rapport is established, candid dialogue can occur – providing development to both the mentee and mentor. For example, communication styles. With the feedback from my mentees, I have been able to successfully coach mentors through differing communication styles across generations.
What advice do you have for someone who wants to pursue STEM as a career path?
Seek out a mentor – or several!
What advice do you have for someone who wants to pursue mentoring?
The same. Seek out a mentor if you do not already have one yourself!
You also need to be prepared. It is important that you are ready to be present in the relationship, actively listen, and invest yourself in your mentee's success. You will be providing critical insights and maneuvering unwritten rules with your mentee as they navigate the unknown. Remember: Mentoring is not about teaching, it is about understanding and offering guidance.
I find that good mentors have long standing mentors themselves – they value the relationship and have experienced the rewards. Mentoring relationships can span a lifetime and bring growth to all involved, and I believe everyone can benefit from a mentor in their life.

Career and technical education is no longer the forgotten stepchild of education reform. The plight of jobless Americans took center stage in the turbulent Presidential election and raised the stakes for creating pathways to the middle class that don't pass through the ivy-fringed gates of four-year colleges. In fact, jaded Congress watchers believe that CTE may be one of the few issues that will win bipartisan support in 2017.
That's good news, but converts to the CTE cause will soon discover what CTE experts have known for a long time: namely, that the gender gaps in CTE's STEM subjects are every bit as large as gender gaps in advanced math and science classes. In fact, those gaps are growing. To create broad opportunities for all their students, states must meet this problem head on.
To gauge the depth of the challenge, we reviewed federal data on high school students who concentrate in one of four critical STEM CTE fields: Health science, information technology, manufacturing, and science & technology.[1]
The lion's share of female high schoolers concentrating in STEM CTE study health science, while male students are more evenly distributed:
Not surprisingly, high school girls dominate health science, but they are scarce in the other three career clusters. The imbalance has gotten worse since 2007/08:
In science and engineering, girls held steady at a measly 25 percent. [1]
The news isn't all bad for girls. They dominate in health sciences at a time when the healthcare sector is growing quickly and middle-skill jobs in health command a strong wage, at least for those who go on to earn a two-year technical degree.
Still, the gender imbalances should concern everyone. it's more than a bit troubling that segregation by gender is getting worse. As fields like healthcare and computing continue to grow, we cannot draw most of our talent from only half of the population. In addition, a growing body of research tells us that organizations benefit from gender diversity in the workplace.
What's to be done? As with most problems that really matter, the solutions are multifaceted, ranging from formally recruiting girls as early as middle schools to redesigning CTE curricula to avoid gender stereotypes and providing CTE teachers professional development on how to create a welcoming environment for all genders.
(Check out this handy primer on professional development for a fuller list.)
Employers should continue making the case for gender balance while identifying employees who can serve as mentors: female employees in advanced manufacturing, for example, or male nurses. Governors can use their bully pulpit to advance campaigns that encourage gender diversity in middle-skill STEM jobs. Career and technical educators can work with their schools and districts to design targeted student recruitment strategies that break through the gender stereotypes.
Each state or community might find a different set of solutions, but none can afford to ignore the problem. State leaders must dedicate themselves to improving matters. The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, which is likely to be reauthorized this year, requires states to report on their progress in improving gender equity in CTE. It is not yet clear, however, whether states will suffer any federal consequences if they fail to reach their targets. There is little appetite for federal sanctions these days.
The solution is up to all of us. After all, everyone has a major stake in fostering a creative and robust middle skills workforce. We won't get there if we allow boys and girls to go their separate ways.
[1] Health Science, Information Technology, Manufacturing, and "STEM" are career clusters in the National Career Clusters Framework. For the purposes of this analysis, we have renamed the STEM career cluster as "Science & engineering" to avoid confusion with our own definition of STEM, which includes the other three career clusters. The Science & engineering cluster includes "planning, managing and providing scientific research and professional and technical services (e.g., physical science, social science, engineering) including laboratory and testing services, and research and development services."
[2] Data reveal that male and female enrollments more than doubled—growing by roughly 120 percent each. That said, girls did not improve their relative position.

How do you rivet on a fixed firing pin (revolver)

I don't recall ever replacing the firing pin on a Rossi, but AFAIK you are correct that it is like the S&W. With the right equipment, the job can be done without even removing the hammer from the frame, but in general it is best to do so. Then you put the hammer down on the steel bench block with the rivet over the appropriate hole and use a small punch to drive out the rivet. If you have also ordered a new rivet (as you should have), just replace the firing pin, install the new rivet and use a cone shaped riveting tool to expand the rivet. If you don't have a new rivet, file down the old one until it will go back in. If you don't have the tools, they can be made or bought, but it might be easier to have a gunsmith do it if you have a good one at hand.

Dear Coleen,
I've been with my boyfriend on and off for two years.
Initially, he had some massive trust issues, which I struggled to deal with.
At the time I gave him no reason to distrust me.
I stuck with him through this time against the advice of my friends and family because I could see how much it was hurting him and I did love him.
Somehow he managed to overcome all of these issues and, aside from the occasional lapse, he became a perfect boyfriend.
However, afterwards, I felt less in love with him than I did to begin with, and once in a while I would break up with him over little issues, then we would get back together.
We continued this way until recently when I kissed a friend who I knew fancied me.
I still can't believe I did this.
I've never cheated before and I know it isn't me.
I'm aware that this clearly shows my true feelings and that perhaps we're not right together, but nevertheless, all I seem to want is him.
Although he is upset and angry, I know he will eventually take me back.
Understandably, he wants this other man out of my life and is asking me to message him, telling him that I hate him.
But I can't because it wasn't his fault.
Is this big mess possible to fix?
Coleen says..
I'm not sure your boyfriend is right for you either.
You've admitted that when he did change you realised you didn't feel the same way about him.
Perhaps your way of reacting to his trust issues and possessiveness was to go out there and do the very thing he was worried you'd do!
If you do want to be with your boyfriend, you would message this other guy and say you've realised you're still in love with your boyfriend, that it was a silly mistake and it's best you don't contact each other.
But the fact is, you don't want to do that, which makes me think you're biding your time until someone better comes along. Whatever the reason, it's not right.
Also, the on/off nature of your relationship doesn't bode well for lasting love.

I'm an Arabian and I'll review this series on that basis(sorry for any
-(a brief history and review of Khalid)the series especially the Fayeed family has close resemblance to Saddam's Hussein Era and gulf countries Royal families. the picture which this series draw from the beginning is sadly true, unfortunately till the Arabian "spring" there were no elected president in whole 22 Arabian countries except in Lebanon, so you can imagine that every leader came by a military coup "or inheritance from his father" must clear the previous ruler's Allies to protect himself from assassination(which clearly seen in the pilot) and to prove his dominance.
-Jamal is a clear representation of children who was born with a golden spoon in their mouth and a gun in their hand, Iraq and Gulf countries have many "Jamal"s, with various degrees,for e.g Oudai Saddam Hussein was exact picture of Jamal(don't know about purity incidence). Oudai was a killer, rapist and a maniac same as Jamal.
-Bassam Aka Barry. I am conflicted about him, will he become like his father and brother as depicted in flashbacks or will he be the Arabian "spring". still to come.
-the luxury of the royal family is not exaggerated in the series and maybe downgraded (I'll leave this to your imagination) -the background and the set. Finally Arabic is written right not some gibberish or isolated letters, the wedding, music ,dancing and the "bachelor" party were nearly right.
-negative thing: they didn't show the foreign influence and i hope they will, don't think these rulers and leaders came from nothing, they're all pawn were put to control the countries income and resources and convert it to outside -Finally ,what you saw and what you going to see in this series is sadly some what true, but people started to open their eyes and start revolutions.
p.s this is my first review ever and it may be complicated but 1000 aren't enough to describe centuries of conflict and blood.
I'm impressed with the courage it took to put this on TV. This is not
an easy subject to cover and the honesty it is dealt with says a lot
about the willingness of the entire crew to take risks.
The acting is superb and everyone gives their character the exact nuance required to convey the sliminess, brutality, tortured indecision, suffering, or shallowness required.
I never thought I'd see such depth and truth portrayed on a mere TV series. The people who put this on have guts and I'm impressed. I will continue to watch for as long as the producers, directors and actors are willing to avoid shallowness or cave to "political correctness."
I'm not a big fan of sex, nudity, or brutality on TV but this story could not be properly told without representing the characters as they really are.
Congratulations! And I'll be praying for you.
Forewarning only the pilot has been seen so far, but based on that I
was thoroughly impressed.
Tyrant is the story of the second son of a powerful middle eastern tyrant who has escaped the corruption and despair of his native land and spent two decades Americanising himself and building an unassuming life with his wife and two kids. Reluctantly he is brought back to his country of birth for the wedding of his nephew.
Its not immediately a genre I would find myself drawn to, but I was enthralled. Barry (the second son) Is a wounded character, wary of his father and everything he represents, and they depict him brilliantly. His interactions with his brother and father are complex and deep.
The setting for the show is very beautiful, right in the opening portion of the episode you get a great sequence of shots where the American family is being driven in a cavalcade to the palace, and you can really see the juxtaposition of the opulence of their cars, the palace with its gardens and forest, with the impoverished masses being kept at bay so the streets are clear for the motorcade.
Watching both Barry's reaction to this contrasting culture and his American families reaction is very interesting and adds a different element to the story. His wife's "Dr. Phil" moments trying to get him to open up about the atrocities he witnessed when Barry (and the audience) know she could never really understand, his sons oblivious superficiality and obnoxious self absorption help make the story relatable to me coming from a western culture, and also highlight how ignorant they (and we) are.
I've only seen the pilot, as mentioned above, but I loved this first glimpse of a, for me, unique new story. I cant wait to see how it unfolds, and I recommend the first episode highly.
With a stunning and fascinating portrayal of a middle-eastern power
structure, FX has outdone themselves yet again.
What does it mean to have true power, and can you ignore power when you are born into it? The central conflict of this show thrusts it's main characters back into the fray of just such a situation. It portrays power as both freedom and a prison. The Al-Fayeed family, rulers of a fictional middle-eastern country are no different from any other modern Monarchy except that it is still in defacto power and uses brutal tactics to stay there.
Assad, Khadaffi, Saddam, Bush...
These names conjure Dynasty's and dictatorships, and for thousands of years the power struggles within their individual kingdoms were largely ignored by western powers, or swept quietly under a convenient media rug. But for Barry Al-Fayeed, the violence and politics of his family have been left behind. He has no desire to rule anything then his pediatric practice.
As the younger son of a brutal dictator, Barry took advantage of his families wealth to leave the country behind, and hasn't seen home in twenty years. His wife and children are somewhat ignorant of their husbands and fathers old world, knowing only that they are 'sort of' royalty and that grandad is rich. Their ignorance is typical of the average American family, not stupid, but simply devoid of the truth of the day to day in tyrannical regimes in many parts of the world. When his brothers son is due to be married, Barry is called home, and the cycle begins again.
But the truth is, Barry's legacy is one of bullets and blood, of violence and ruthlessness, of intimidation and manipulation. What makes a tyrant? This show promises to show just how far one man will go to secure his family, his country, and his power.
I watch a unhealthy amount of television. Thus the summer is a time of
incredible pain. This show can finally help ease this. After diving
into the first 3 episodes I can safely say that this show is on the
right track. Some plots, and characters can be somewhat 2 dimensional
(Barry's son, wife and daughter come to mind) BUT can every character
involved in every figment of a story be dynamic as the leads ? The plot
is original for once, and the acting has thus far been superb. The sets
are gorgeous and very true to the geographical locations as well. The
realism and barbarity of a dictatorship/police state is also well
portrayed. Give this show a full season and watch where it goes. I beg
FX to let this series fly and play out.
9/10 thus far.
Great premise for a series...the interaction of cultures seen through their humanity and frailties. The cast is variable, except for Ashraf Barhom, playing Jamal, who just blows me away with his fierce energy. Every moment he is on he completely dominates the drama. Everyone looks pale beside him -- his energy seems to come like a fire from within and burns up the screen. I think this is a new star... I'll be watching to see him in more! FX really does an amazing job bringing us really interesting series instead of the usual pulp on network TV. Just when you think you've seen it all, they come up with something new. Most of us have no idea what life really looks like in Middle Eastern countries. This gives us a cool story and lets us peek into another world. And GO BARHOM!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
As a Middle-Eastern, I pretty much comprehend the concept of this
series. I am a Jew born in Israel, a grandson to Jewish grandparents
who immigrated from Iraq, I have heard plenty of stories from my
grandfather about the life in an Arab country, about its glory days and
its very elegant lifestyle but also heard about the brutality and
mercilessness which often characterizes the Arab leaders in certain
Arab countries.
In addition, as an Israeli, I am updated in all of the scenarios in the Arab world, and how unstable the Arab world is.
You can sense the extravagant Arab lifestyle in the first episode of the series, this exaggerated lifestyle traits the way most of the Arab leaders used to live and are still living nowadays, you can sense the frustration and the torment of the lower population strata, it makes the series very realistic because it brings back the memories of the "Arab Spring".
As other people have already written, the plot of the story unfolds the story of Bassam Al-Fayeed which was the second son of Khaled Al-Fayeed, Bassam suffers from childhood traumas which had a vast reflection on his life as a person and as a family man. His brother Jamal can be compared to Saddam Hussein's first child, a "hothead", truculent and sort of a psychotic pervert.
As for now, basing on the pilot, I find this series very interesting and very realistic, reflects the life in the Arab countries of the Middle- East, Gideon Raff did a fantastic job with the script and I hope this series will not disappoint us.
I decided to DVR "Tyrant" after seeing a few promos. I'm happy to
report that the promos didn't do justice to the series. I was hooked in
the first ten minutes.
The adult cast is excellent. I expect that the children will be as well, but I haven't seen enough of them to be sure. The writing is mostly top-notch, and the relationship dynamics seem altogether plausible, with one exception (more on that below). The visuals are beautiful.
I wondered whether the depiction of an Arabic middle eastern country was accurate, but I've not visited there and have no frame of reference (other than news reports, which I take with a large grain of salt). I recommend that you read email@example.com's review, which I found very helpful.
My only real issue with the writing is with some of the interaction between Bassam and Molly. I get that the show needs to show us the dynamics of their relationship and tell us the back story. But I would expect these two characters to have a higher level of emotional maturity than the writers seem to give them credit for. Molly keeps trying to have serious conversations in public places where they're not appropriate, and Bassam doesn't seem mature enough to say more than "I can't talk (or won't) about this now." It's a common plot device, but I think this series deserves something less common.
I can't wait for the next episode.
Most of the characters were somewhat stereotypical at first impression.
However, the development of the characters has been executed nicely at
a very gradual pace but accelerated to match the tempo of the
development of the story.
I have found myself drawn into the characters and their psyche and I believe that most viewers can identify with most of them. The cast executes quite well in general. However, the "Big Brother" controlling Jamal is overdone and slows the development of his disposition. He is intelligent enough to make tough decisions. However, due to his father's influence coupled with the absence of his brother during his formative years, he sometimes needs to be pointed in the right direction yet maintains a cynical sense of humor and pretends to be dumb. This seems to invite the continual advice from his big brother. But the overbearing continual advice from the brother is still overdone.
Most viewers will find "Tyrant" to be a very distinct and unique series and very interesting to watch. It has very good content and nearly all ages can watch this for the sex scenes display more class than most shows on the air. These scenes are shown less and less as the show goes on and when they are shown they are done without unnecessary nudity and tasteless displays of the act. The violence has mellowed as well.
I sincerely hope that the writers keep up the good work, for so far they have shown great vision and originality!
I will go through a few points about various elements of the show.
Casting - It doesn't seem like anyone is out of place, but there were a few confusions about child versions of a few characters. One of the children looks nothing like the adult version of the character, I was confused and had to look up the cast. Other than that the cast is solid.
Writing - Generally well written with a few odd circumstances but nothing that cannot be explained later in the show. I am glad the writers were up to the task because the show is very dialogue based there isn't a lot of action but I was still pulled in episode after episode.
Acting - Adam Rayner is the main character is this show and as far as I know it's his first lead he has had for a major network. All I can say is that he is playing his role right. This can be said for the rest of the cast with a few exceptions. I cannot say too much without giving away spoilers but I have no complaints about the acting.
Set - Most of the show was filmed in Morocco, the show is not set in Morocco but it had me convinced it was a middle eastern country.

Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams-Stewart Fight Latest: Real Housewives of Atlanta Star Responds to Fight Rumors
Kenya Moore is speaking out against claims that she was physically harmed during the reunion special that was recently filmed for "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Moore, the 43-year-old former beauty queen was allegedly assaulted by Porsha Williams, 32, after the former reportedly continued to mock the latter's public divorce from former NFL player Kordell Stewart. After sources like Radar Online, Us Weekly and TMZ shared the news complete with accounts of what took place from anonymous witnesses, Moore is speaking up about the matter on Twitter.
"#TeamTwirl one thing u will NEVER see me do is fight," Moore tweeted. "Your brain and tongue are your most powerful weapons."
While E! News reports that the altercation did take place, sources tell the publication that it was not as dramatic as some have reported.
"There were a few moments of hair pulling, but it was broken up in a matter of seconds," the sources reported. "No one dragged anyone across the floor."
Another source told Us Weekly Moore was not badly injured but did not rule out the possibility of her pressing charges against Williams.
"You never know with these ladies," a source reportedly told the publication.
Despite the severity of the altercation, Williams may now be in hot water after the dispute. The Bravo television series producers reportedly have a zero tolerance policy for violence after a brawl involving Apollo Nida and Brandon DeShazer took place earlier in season six of the show.
While the decision to cut Williams from the cast has not been officially made, TMZ is reporting that sources close to the situation believe she is on the chopping block after recent events. Instead of addressing the speculation, Williams has decided to promote her new single "Flatline" by responding to fans listening to the song on Twitter.

wikiHow to Win Call of Duty: War on Cliffside
Can't capture those flags? Here's a step-by-step guide to show you how.
1Secure key positions and defend.
2Control some crucial points. When capturing B FLAG, there are two crucial points that you must control. The first one is the Mausoleum. Enemy players tend to camp in there and target flag takers. Capture this place and set bouncing betties in there. The second place you want to capture is the short tunnel opposite the Mausoleum. If you set betties there, you have successfully secured both flanks. The wooden bunker above the tunnel is also good to have.
3When capturing C FLAG, again, you want to secure your flank with betties to fend off players coming from the CRASH SITE and the TUNNEL.
4Capture the WATERFALL FLAG. This is the Japanese side's last flag. When coming to the flag are, beware of snipers that are usually on the monuments on top of the hill. When capturing the flag, you want to secure the whole GROTTO; that means taking the whole curve.
5Capture the CREEK FLAG. This is the Marine last flag. Again, be aware of snipers that are in the IMPERIAL BUNKER. Attack from the CREEK and the CRASH SITE to maximize your effectiveness.

- Spread your team out to have a larger area of firepower.
- Don't be afraid to take cover behind boxes and wooden walls.
- Make sure your team has lots of betties; with those you can secure not only your flanks, but also leave them behind so you don't get shot in the back.

text: We tried Silva Spoon for lunch based on the glowing review from the City Paper. However, we were sadly disappointed. First of all, what kind of respectable "soul food" place considers a terribly overcooked boneless chicken breast to be good food? We tried the breast and wing plate...the wing was edible although they use a cornmeal type batter which in my opinion should be reserved for fish only. The macaroni and cheese was actually quite tasty. The other sides we tried (collards and lima beans) were definitely nothing to write home about either. The sweet tea is too syrupy sweet and to add insult to injury they charge 50 cents for a refill. The ladies in the restaurant were very friendly but unfortunately we will not return.

Welcome to e health forum.
What you are experiencing is a completely normal sexual response of the body, and there is no need to be worried about it.
The fluid that you see is semen, which is normally ejaculated during orgasm (the end result of sexual intercourse).
Semen is the combination of spermatozoa produced from the testicles and the secretions of the prostate and seminal vesicles. During sexual intercourse or while masturbating, rhythmic contractions of the ejaculatory duct propel the secretions as the ejaculate.
In males who are not sexually active, the excess of secretions are occasionally removed from the body either during sexual excitement or while sleeping as nocturnal emissions (Nightfalls).
The best way for sexually inactive men to avoid nightfalls or emissions during sexual excitation is to masturbate once in a while (or regularly). Hence this will avoid any embarrassment during social situations.
If you have any doubts, you can consult a sexologist or your doctor who can clear all your doubts and apprehensions.

3.9 Functions of random variables (derived distributions) Consider a square service region of unit area in which travel is right-angle and directions of travel are parallel to the sides of the square. Let (X1, Y1) be the location of a mobile unit and (X2, Y2) the location of a demand for service. The travel distance is
D = Dx + Dy
Dx = |X1 - X2| and Dy = |Y1 - Y2|
We assume that the two locations are independent and uniformly distributed over the square.

Viva Las Vegas.
That has been the West Coast Conference party line from the moment word got out that the 2009 WCC men's and women's tournaments would be held at the Orleans Arena, hard by the Orleans Hotel in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
The official announcement came March 9, 2008, at the Jenny Craig Pavilion, hours before Gonzaga and USD won semifinal games to advance to the final that was won by the Toreros.
It was the crowning achievement in the 24-year reign of retiring WCC Commissioner Michael Gilleran, who had overseen tournaments held on campus sites of the eight member schools from the event's inception in 1987 and heard calls for it to be held on a neutral site increase at a steady crescendo.
Not that the home court proved to be any big advantage. No host school won it until 2003, when USD triumphed as a No. 2 seed, defeating San Francisco in the semifinals and Gonzaga in the finals.
That tournament was the first under a format changed to reward the regular-season champion and preserve the RPI numbers of the league's top teams. Instead of all eight teams being faced with the necessity of winning three games in three nights to secure the championship, the top two regular-season finishers got byes to the semifinals, the No. 3 and 4 seeds a bye to the quarterfinals and the Nos. 5-8 finishers relegation to playing four games in four nights to prevail.
After 2003, Gonzaga went on a four-year run of winning the tournament as the No. 1 seed until USD won from the No. 3 slot last year. Anyone who was there knows what the home court and home crowd meant to the Toreros.
Now, from tomorrow through Monday, the tournament will be conducted in Las Vegas. Questions regarding the propriety of a league in which all the schools have some religious affiliation opting for a Sin City venue for its grandest competition were raised and addressed last year.
The answers, paraphrased, boiled down to: Are you kidding, it's the 21st century; college kids and adults are hip to the real world and aren't going to get corrupted. Las Vegas' ties to college basketball are steel-cable strong, from its support for the UNLV Runnin' Rebels to the summertime tournament extravaganza it hosts that is a Super Walmart for college recruiters.
And last, and most important, it's going to be good for the prestige and exposure of the WCC.
Men's and women's coaches from every school, assembled last October at the Orleans Arena for a media day, were unanimous in expressing praise and excitement about the move.
The anticipation has built through the regular season and the lead-up this week.
"We are essentially sold out at the nearly 8,000-seat (actually 7,471) arena, the largest venue at which we ever hosted the event," WCC Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich, Gilleran's successor, said in a Monday teleconference. "Frankly, we have been just about sold out for about four weeks now."
There will be some single-session tickets available, but the allotment to member schools, sold only on an all-session basis, is gone.
The agreement with the Orleans is for one year, with the conference having an option for the next three years afterward.
"We'll weigh our options after this year. Obviously, all signs are very positive, but we will have a decision to make on Las Vegas for the West Coast Conference basketball tournament," Zaninovich said.
Thanks largely to Gonzaga gaining, and sustaining, status as an elite-level program, the WCC's national profile has risen significantly in the past decade. Exposure from Las Vegas won't hurt and figures to help.
Both men's semifinals Sunday night will be shown on ESPN2. On Monday, the women's championship game will be on ESPNU starting at noon, the men's title game on ESPN at 6 p.m.
Chances are that game will feature Gonzaga and Saint Mary's. The Zags went through conference play undefeated and are ranked No. 17 in the nation. Saint Mary's lost its national ranking when star point guard Patrick Mills broke his right hand Jan. 29 at Gonzaga, but the Gaels managed a second-place finish and are expected to have Mills back for the tournament.
Gonzaga fans bought about 2,300 of the all-session tickets, a Zags official said last week. So in terms of fan support, they'll have the closest to home advantage. But the beauty of a neutral site is that the court is open to claiming by anyone.
They've been saying Viva Las Vegas for nearly a year. Now it's time to roll the dice and see what happens.

Denver, CO — November 18, 2003…It may be sunny and warm in Denver, but it's a completely different story in our high country where a snow-filled blizzard hit hard last night and continues to blow now leaving fresh powder for skiers and riders to enjoy. So much snow has fallen in the last several days that Snowmass has pushed up their opening day nearly a week to this Saturday, 11/22.
According to today's 6am snow report found at www.coloradoski.com, Colorado's eight open resorts have impressive snowfall totals for those hitting the slopes this week. Silverton Mountain has received 17 inches of new snow in the last 48 hours and currently boasts a natural mid-mountain base of 48 inches. Copper Mountain got 10 inches overnight and 31 inches in the past week; Breckenridge has received 9 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours, 10 in the last 48, allowing them to open 25 additional acres of terrain and run more lifts including the Quick Silver Super 6 today. Loveland received 9 inches in the last 48 hours, 8 inches in 24 hours; Winter Park saw 8.5 inches in 48 hours and 7.5 in 24 hours; Arapahoe Basin got 7 inches in 48 hours and 6 inches in 24; Eldora has seen 5 inches of new snow in 48 hours and Keystone has seen 3 inches in the last 48 hours.
Vail will open this Friday, 11/21, and saw 10 inches of new snow in the last 48 hours from this storm. Down the road, Beaver Creek has received 11 inches of new snow in 48 hours and will open Saturday, 11/22. Monarch will open Friday, 11/21 and has received 8 inches in the last 24 hours and 11 inches in 48 hours. Early-opening Snowmass has received 9 inches in the last 48 hours totaling nearly 5 feet since Nov. 1.
With nine inches of new snow in the past 48 hours, adding to their 2.5 feet of snow since Nov. 1, Telluride is abuzz with skiers and riders dusting off their boards for their opening day on Nov. 26. Durango Mountain Resort continues to get hit with snow and saw 10 inches in the last 48 hours. Sunlight has seen 7 inches in the last 24 hours.

Although early trailers seemed to suggest an Asian stab at the increasingly overpopulated zombie genre, "Deranged" thankfully turned out to be something very different and considerably more intriguing. Directed by Park Jeong Woo ("Big Bang"), the film is actually a disease outbreak thriller, quite rare in Korean cinema, mixed with conspiracy elements and horror, and proved very popular at the domestic box office, topping the charts for two weeks running. Taking the lead role is one of the country's most talented and acclaimed actors, Kim Myung Min ("Closer to Heaven", "Detective K"), with support from Kim Dong Wan of the pop group Shinhwa, Moon Jung Hee ("Cafe Noir"), and Honey Lee ("Pasta").
Kim Myung Min plays Jae Hyuk, a scientist who has been reduced to working as a pharmaceutical company salesman to support his family after being ruined due to bad stock market advice from his cop brother Jae Pil (Kim Dong Wan). His life and the country are thrown into chaos when drowned bodies start turning up in rivers throughout Korea without explanation, which turns out to be the start of a deadly pandemic whose victims exhibit an insane, violent thirst before dying. With more and more people falling prey to what seems to be an unknown disease, the government steps in and declares a national emergency, forcing the infected into camps to protect the populace while a cure is desperately sought. Jae Hyuk's worst fears are realised when his wife (Moon Jung Hee) and two young children start showing symptoms, his only hope lying with Jae Pil, who has been investigating the origins of the outbreak, uncovering a terrifying conspiracy in the process.
There really aren't enough plague thrillers these days, and "Deranged" is certainly one of the best either from Asia or indeed anywhere for some time. Park Jeong Woo does a superb job of combining enjoyable genre staples such as scenes of mass panic, forced internment camps and ominous news updates with effective social commentary and a tough cynical edge. The film is also surprisingly strong in terms of its human drama, which in Korean cinema often simply equals melodrama and a long third act filled with tears, Park presenting an interesting and likeable set of characters, boosted by some excellent performances, in particular from the always reliable Kim Myung Min and Moon Jung Hee, convincing an moving as a mother trying to keep her children alive in an increasingly hopeless situation. Though emotional and human, the film balances this well with a shocking conspiracy that though sinister is well within the bounds of belief. All of this grounds the film wonderfully, and this realism is the source of its powerful gut-punch, never letting the viewer doubt for a second that this is something which could actually happen in real life.
As well as serious and substantial, the film is also very entertaining, Park keeping things moving along at a fast pace, expertly shifting between intimate family concerns and nationwide panic. The film crams a huge amount into a relatively short running time of less than two hours and is tense throughout, hurtling along breathlessly, its narrative streamlined and building through good use of revelations and a heightening sense of control being lost.
There's a good amount of action along the way, with several impressive large scale riots and civil disturbances, Park showing a fine handling of set pieces, along with the expected chase scenes and occasional flash of violence. Though never too nasty, and perhaps not quite as gruesome as its really quite horrifying subject matter (best left unspoiled in this review, though the nature of the outbreak once revealed is genuinely unpleasant), there are a fairly few squirm inducing moments scattered throughout, enough so to give the film a visceral kick and hammer home its monstrous yet realistic scenario.
"Deranged" is definitely one of the year's best thrillers, and a fine combination of disease, disaster and conspiracy, an entertaining and exciting film that grips from start to finish. Kim Myung Min is great as ever, and with Park Jeong Woo showing a steady hand and keen sense for what makes the genre tick, it's one which should go down very well with viewers of all persuasions.

SouthShore Celebrates National EMS Week
HCC SouthShore Campus student and SGA representative Sarah Linder had the privilege of attending a conference in New York City hosted by the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA) in July 2012. Through inspirational speakers and breakout sessions with other students from around the country, Sarah gleaned new leadership and networking skills that will serve her well as a student leader.
"The highlight of the APCA conference was our success at making good connections and learning about how some of the speakers' presentations would benefit the students at our campus," said Sarah. "I've been thankful for every chance I have had to develop my leadership abilities at conferences similar to this one, and hope that future student leaders will have the opportunity to do the same."

The Quintessentialist II
Veteran comic creator Alan Davis, responsible for some of Marvel and DC's most endearing stories, does his best work when fully off the leash. And "the leash" refers of course to continuity, that pesky web of logic that binds a shared fictional universe (and can make or break a reading experience). Davis is a typhoon of ideas unto himself, and has written and drawn Superboy's Legion, Justice League: The Nail, and Fantastic Four: The End, mini-series that all take place outside the normal run of their characters' history.
This makes the tightly-knit brilliance of his Excalibur run, which salvaged four-years worth of scattered plot-threads, all the more savory. Last post, I mentioned the villain Necrom, an ancient sorcerer (and walking prune) who wants the cosmic Phoenix entity to serve his lust for power. The Phoenix, unfortunately, is hosted by Rachel Summers, and that's where Excalibur takes issue.
Now, other writers who needn't be mentioned had written this comic with a gruesome abundance of "wacky." Puerile at best, fifty shades of asinine at worst, Excalibur strained the patience of the most loyal X-Men fans. Here, Davis tweaks the book's tone- and the team's mechanics- to suit more mature audiences. First, he finds a flexible way to ratchet down Rachel's nigh-invincible Phoenix abilities.
Quite cleverly, it begins with the shape-shifter Meggan wanting to know what she actually looks like. Having involuntarily empathic powers has always caused her to become what those around her think she should look like (which, by the way, is a pointy-eared blonde bombshell). A trip with Rachel to Germany's Black Forest brings them into contact with a Neuri (think of Neil Young, in sasquatch form), and he strips away the top layer of reality to show them the Alshra. "A kaleidoscope of pulsating color," Davis narrates, "as the world's familiar spectrum of dull light gives birth to unseen horizons of shimmering life force."
During this scene, "Rachel sees the Phoenix force threaded through every cell of her mutant body." She realizes for the first time that active use of the force has kept her memories from healing properly- and that's a whole other post, in which she's stranded in our present after escaping a horrible future where she hunted other mutants for her human overlords. Anyway, she decides to put the Phoenix to sleep, and this powering-down lets a more organic (and more genuinely dramatic) story build up.
About halfway through his X opus (in issue 47), Davis allows waves of painstakingly-rendered insanity to crest. The Technet, a band of inter-dimensional mercenaries who'd been staying at Excalibur's lighthouse, are whisked off stage by yet another band of consummate weirdos (most of them last seen in Captain Britain). Their crackling arrival prompts Nightcrawler to say, "This is getting silly." Thug (who's basically a frog) then tells him that they're leaving for an alternate Earth because there's a 98% chance that [ours] will cease to exist in the next seventy-eight hours.
And, like cherries on top, there's Kylun and Cerise. Each of them arrive tempestuously out of thin air, separately and for different reasons. This is a testament both to Excalibur's lighthouse acting as an inter-dimensional G-Spot, and Davis' obsession with genre-bending controlled chaos. Removing her insectoid battle helmet, Cerise asks Nightcrawler, "Which is the dominant species of this world?" Humans, he answers. "Which of you conforms to this specification?" she asks. "Of all the varied life forms in this room," says Nightcrawler, "you look the most human."
Davis excels in crafting sprawling cosmic tales that harken back to their 1970s heyday. While the wizard Merlyn and his daughter Roma argue the finer points of an energy matrix, I can hear legendary Avengers scribe Roy Thomas (who always spun dense super-logic into narrative gold) banging away at his typewriter.
The multiversal stakes rise higher as we discover that an infinite number of Earths might be destroyed if Necrom wins, and that the members of Excalibur have been manipulated since their first adventure by Merlyn himself. It turns out that Necrom is his adversary of old, and Captain Britain and company have always been meant to thwart him. Rachel, however, must force a battle with the evil sorcerer by activating the Phoenix force. Their showdown, once it happens, literally breaks free of the comic's thin white borders. Davis' panels tilt and stretch to flaunt the operatic destruction of an entire solar system. With inker Mark Farmer's (and colorist Joe Rosas') pristine help, the crumbling of worlds has never looked so inspiring.
Davis' style today, over twenty years later, is nearly all slants and jagged panels. Back then, it served the story like any truly thrilling innovation should. The main draw to this run, however, is the sense of intense wonder stitched deeper than in any other comic of the time. Better not to trample the idea of "blog post" by going on at length about Widget's evolution, the lighthouse mirages and Rachel's meeting with Anti-Phoenix. We'd all miss lunch marveling at just how many floors comprise this towering eight issue story.

United Tows, L.L.C.Dalllas, Texas 75216 THIEVES! UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Signs were not in English for the PUBLIC. I was NOT on apt complex property but my car was towed due to the apt complex Manager. The manager and United Tows making profit off shopping center parking-lot. Apt complex have permit parking on shopping center parking-lot. and if u don't have a sticker, then your car is towed... Question? apt complex dont have anything to do with the shopping center parking-lot and therefore, I dont see a sign for the residents to park there. nor did i see a sign for the quest/visitors parking furthermore, the signs are in Spanish on both side...This is totally sad.. my car got towed and i just made it in from Houston. I went to the store/shopping center and asked them who own the shopping center parking-lot, the apt complex or the shopping center? Dallas Texas
*Author of original report: Well
*Consumer Comment: Well
Thieves! Unconstitutional! I just made it in from Houston 08/12/2013, on my way to Arkansas to see my grandchildren- Monday morning. I decided to visit my father house in Richardson, Texas. I was told not to park my car at Windham Chase Apt. complex because they will tow your car. Therefore, I parked my car at Melrose Family Fashion, facing Spring Valley Rd. I walked to the shopping center store to get something to drink. Then I went to visit my father in Windham Chase Apt. after a couple of hours of visiting, I decided to go to my car and get some changing of clothes. When I looked out the window, I see someone with a long stick trying to get through the window of my 95 Mazda 626.... It was United Tow, I quickly ran outside and told the guy, what are u doing to my car. He rudely said "this aint your car nomore, it's mines... I said BS, you aint just gone talk s**t to me about my car. I said you thief. He said I will call the police on you and take your car.. I said that is what u gone have to do because I caught you trying to break into my car instead of towing it, then you have some nerves threating to take my car.. I said you men always trying to take advantage of us-women.. He called the police- I don't know what he said but they immediately came. The police asked him what going on. He told the police that the Windham Chase Apt. called them to tow my car because it been parked on their property for 2 days... I said that is a false statement, I can't be in Houston and Dallas at the same time.. furthermore, I was not on apt complex property.. Tow-guy said that Windham Chase own the space where I was parked at on the shopping center...
By that time, police ran my name asked the guy how much was it to drop the vehicle, because I was sitting on my car.. He said about $25-$30-I'm thinking that I'm bout to get my car, but it turned out that I was tricked. Police said you have warrants from Dallas. I said, that gotta be a mistake. I'm totally NOT aware of it and i was sent to jail while the thief got away with my car.... My purse, DL, money, documentation, my clothes and my children clothes was all in the car. That made me homeless. While in jail, officer said maam if Dallas don't come get you by 2pm tomorrow, you is free to go.. Dallas didn't show.08/13/2013 Hummmm? I got released. 08/15/2013I went to United Tow to check on my car and to get my purse. I was DENIED my purse, I was DENIED to even check on my vehicle... At this point, of being DENIED, this has violated Human rights law/ USC laws/ and Constitutional laws. I'm still in the same clothes from Monday.... This has created malice/actual malice... I was discriminated against by race-meaning-any instance of treating me in a less favorable manner on the basis of my character/characteristics.... This is Theft! with the INTENT! I hope and pray that this never happens to another women.... By the way, where my car was parked. It didn't have Windham Chase resident sign up. Nor, is it a permit parking for their residents... However, someone took down the English sign and put Spanish. Therefore, you have both side in Spanish... Therefore, they are doing Illegal towing.... Thieve, scammers... Nobody should have to pay a thief just to get their vehicle back. The police should be taking them to jail unless they all are in conspiracy.... Respectfully Submitted, "without prejudice"

For the record, Stacy. regardless of what you have to say..... It is the law to be license and follow the rules and regulations... Therefore, the laws were broken due to the signs... If they were in English, then things wouldn't happen unlawfully. The commercial parking-lot still have to place the signs up correctly and readable to the public people.... Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.... By the way, there were no laws broken by me... The question is.....? who own the parking-lot? the apt complex or the shopping center...? By the way, they didn't mind me parking there...just for the record!

Let's back up here - you were told by Richardson Police you had WARRANTS and were arrested. So tell us please about how your rights were violated!! You parked in a commercial parking lot without permission. Just because you got a drink there does not allow you to leave your car there. Yes I know this area very well and it is not a good area. I live off the next major street north of Spring Valley and I refuse to drive in that area.
I highly doubt that your story is correct so I suggest you just chalk it up to a big mistake you made.

4th Street Elevator swings into the jazz scene
Milwaukee-based gypsy swing band 4th Street Elevator has been playing in venues all around town since 2010, but the six-piece formed years earlier.
Most of the members of 4th Street Elevator met at Bremen Cafe, 901 E. Clarke St., in Riverwest, beginning when Gareth Lippe met Phil Schwinn there in 2007.
"He had his mandolin and I had my gypsy d-hole guitar. We wound up playing minor swing. I remember being excited to find someone who actually knew about and wanted to play this kind of music," says Lippe, who is also a registered nurse.
Other members of 4th Street Elevator include vocalist Jenniffer Cintrón Cuevas, guitarist Ryan Eckert and Lodewijk Broekhuizen on violin.
"Phil and I started to play duets at Bremen Cafe and then Ryan came along, and later Brad (Edwardson, 4th Street's first bass player), then Jenn we met, I think, at Bremen Cafe when she was singing and accompanying herself on guitar," says Lippe.
Current upright bass player Mike DeNomie, who's also a software engineer, joined the band in 2010.
"We played our first public show in the summer of 2008 at the Riverwest Farmers Market," says Schwinn, a Milwaukee Public School science teacher who also played with Eckert in another combo before 4th Street Elevator.
"Gareth was the first person I ever met in Milwaukee who had a real gypsy jazz guitar," says the mandolin playing Schwinn.
Modern gypsy d-hole guitars are modeled on the original Selmer acoustic guitars designed by Mario Maccaferri and played by Django Reinhardt, the founder of the gypsy jazz genre. Generally speaking, jazz guitarists use "archtop" electric guitars. Acoustic guitars like the Maccaferri have d-shaped sound holes that differ from both the f-shaped holes of most archtops and the oval sound holes of other acoustics.
Other area bands who use Maccaferri-type guitars include Milwaukee Hot Club.
In addition to the instruments, gypsy jazz is sometimes characterized by its "hot jazz" guitar sound, developed by Reinhardt, who was part of the foundational group Quintette du Hot Club de France, along with violinist Stephane Grappelli.
The early collaborators, who all lived within a few blocks of each other in Riverwest, developed the group's sound over the course of a year.
"Gypsy Swing or Gypsy Jazz is the popular name used throughout the world to describe our genre. The reason it is called 'gypsy' is because Django Reinhardt was a Manouche gypsy. The Manouche are one particular clan of the Roma (gypsy) people whose nomadic ancestors originated from India. Reinhardt is the most popular of many Roma musicians who blended their passionate and fiery style with the American jazz of the time," says Schwinn, who counts among his biggest influences David Grisman, to whom he also attributes the elevated status of the mandolin in gypsy jazz.
"To me, gypsy swing applies to pre-war American Jazz fundamentals, to European folk melodies, waltzes, polkas, Latin rhythms, etc.," says Lippe. "Gypsy swing will not save your life, but it will make your life a happier one."
Schwinn and Lippe came up with the band's name from a landmark in Dubuque, Iowa, near where they both grew up.
Cuevas, who also works at GE Healthcare, was doing her "solo thing with a guitar" in August 2008 when she first saw the other members of the burgeoning band perform a couple songs at Bremen Cafe.
"It kinda reminded me of Buena Vista Social Club, and we started chatting. They invited me to come jam, and I accepted," says Cuevas.

To expedite perishable cargo transport, Port Everglades is expanding its hours for produce at two of the port's produce treatment centers, according to a news release.
The Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based port is allowing trucks to enter and exit from the Chiquita ripening center and International Warehouse Services' fumigation facility between midnight and 4 a.m.
The changes expand upon the facilities' regular hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The gates will still be closed from 10 p.m. to midnight and 4-6 a.m., according to a news release.
Because of security gate closures, perishables that were treated late in the day could not be transported past 10 p.m. in the past.
Security officers will now open the gates past midnight for Chiquita and IWS to make deliveries, according to the release.
"As the leading perishable seaport in Florida, we understand the need to move perishable commodities faster so that they are fresher when they arrive to the marketplace," Steven Cernak, the port's chief executive officer and port director, said in the release. "We applaud U.S. Customs & Border Protection for recognizing this need and working with port staff and our customers to find a solution. These extended hours help speed goods to market."
The port moves nearly half of all the refrigerated containers in Florida, according to the release.

text: I 'm looking for a collapsible lens. My requirement is for it to be useable at f2.8 (for portraits) and smaller than my Summaron when collapsed. I believe both of these lenses are smaller than my Summaron but with the Elmar having a slight edge. The Elmar ergonomics are supposed to be not the best but for the sake of compactness, that is something that I might deal with. I do not want a non-39mm filter threaded lens for sure. I have not quite figured out what the consensus is on the old Elmar. How does it perform at wide apertures? Generally OK? I hear that the Summicron is soft but I'm mainly interested in shooting a lens at f2.8 so if they are both comparable at f2.8 then I might as well go with the cheaper/smaller one--the Elmar. I haven't tracked the prices too much but the Summicron is likely to have a bit of an inflated ego and hence costlier. If I go with the elmar, then can it use the Summicron hoods? I have those so I wouldn't bother with the new screw-on ones. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/142939-REG/Leica_12549_Lens_Hood_for_50mm.html However, my thinking is that the Summicron is the better lens (between the two).

Silk Road
Becky Randel | Photo: Greg Gillis | June 22, 2012
While your average bride may not have a feng shui wedding adviser, her Asian-influenced invitations could very well signal good fortune. Recent trends point to the use of luxurious Far East elements, such as Oriental tapestry patterns, Chinese knot (aka frog) enclosures, and opulent silk brocades and natural fibers. Danielle Behar of Danielle Behar Designs in North Miami says: "We're using a lot of handmade bamboo paper. It goes with the natural look, but it's also very expensive and luxurious." This nature-meets-glamour relationship has been prevalent in the fashion and interior worlds as well, and brides are jumping into the trend Choos first. Perhaps the use of these unique materials is simply the mark of today's creative bride, says Ernesto Leston of Invitations by Leston in Coral Gables, Fla.: "Before everything was traditional; nobody dared to do something with a modern touch. Now, that's not the case."
The paper chase is on!

Brainmeasures(An ISO 9001-2008 Certified company) is a leading online certification
and employment testing company which has helped millions of people achieve their
goals by giving them the platform to showcase their knowledge and skills to prospective
employers. Respected and most trusted name in the field of online certification,
employer`s worldwide honor our online certifications and pre-employment assessment
tools when it comes to testing and choosing employees for their organizations.
By being respectful and polite you can access a variety of career opportunities. Some people are born with these qualities, while others develop them through education and self-training. Either way, by showing respect to the people you talk about you will be very much appreciated and if you have such attributes you could even build a successful career around them and we will present you the domains where hospitality is a prerequisite. In this article we wish to draw your attention to the hospitality terminology and the skills needed to pass a test on this topic. If you have the necessary skills you could pursue a career in specific fields and this is why a hospitality certification would bring you many benefits. In the final paragraph of the article we will present you the main reasons why you should consider taking such a certificate and what would be your advantages in this case.
For those confused about the notion, hospitality refers to the pleasant interaction between a host and its guests. So you can guess hospitality applies to holiday resorts, special events, membership clubs and to specific industries like the travel and leisure industry, the food industry and the drink industry. Basically, we are expected to be hospitable when we have guests arriving or when we need to interact with people in the work place, especially if we work in the environments we mentioned above. Hospitality is frequently associated with entertainment and etiquette nowadays. In addition, we must show respect for the guests, care for their needs and treat them as our equals. There is a saying that is very suggestive for the concept of hospitality: "treat people the way you want to be treated". This should be a golden rule for our behavior in all situations. Hotel workers, restaurant and bar employees, tourist guides and workers in the travel and leisure industry should permanently abide by this rule if they want to keep their customers satisfied and contribute to the success of the business they are a part of.
Those who want to make a name for themselves in the working environments we mentioned are also expected to master the adequate terminology and for this purpose they must be very careful in using the English language. Politeness in speaking and the acceptable use of English is essential for achieving such jobs. Perhaps in these domains the saying that we cited above could be adapted to "Treat people the way they want to be treated". Each and every one of us is unique in a way and we all have our own values, aspirations and preferences. In this context, it would be rather a proof of egotism to treat others according to our own values. It is very important to know and respect the needs and aspirations of others as well, and not only to force others to accept yours. Whenever you want to convince someone of something you should first inquire his ideas and priorities and then explain why your idea is the best in reference to his own system.
In order to prove your hospitality skills you must know the adequate terminology, be a very good listener, be empathic and put yourself in the customer's shoes, you must know what to say, how to say it and what expressions to avoid, you must have verbal skills, you must be assertive, you must efficiently handle conflict situations and the list goes on. There is a variety of communication skills needed if you want to be appreciated as a good professional in this field. If you think you have what it takes you should try some skill testing. It would also be a great way to achieve a valuable certification on this topic to attach to your resume. On the Internet you can find lots of companies that offer a hospitality terminology test, but if you want to make a smart investment you should choose a reputed organization like Brainmeasures.com. This company is the world leader in online certification and employment testing and is committed to offering you a quality hospitality terminology exam to assess your abilities. If you pass it you will be granted a valuable certificate that will boost not only your resume, but also your income.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- A Cleveland woman whose young daughters were found drowned in the bathtub was charged Tuesday with two counts of aggravated murder.
Amber Hill was arrested Monday after the children's father, Jaimie Cintron, called police. Cintron had come home after Hill called him at work and told him the two girls, Cecess Hill, 2, and Jannelle Cintron, 4,
were "resting in peace."
On Tuesday, Cuyahoga Coroner Frank Miller ruled the deaths were homicides, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported.
Cintron pleaded no contest to domestic violence in 2004 and a conviction on the same charge in 2006. Ed Tomba, commander of the police homicide unit, said Hill in her statement did not say she killed her daughter because of battering.
When he called 911, Cintron was so upset dispatchers had trouble understanding him, police said. He shouted repeatedly, "Why? Why? Why?"

President Heinz Fischer, Vienna Mayor Michael Haeupl, the president of the Jewish community Oskar Deutsch and Dorothee Stapelfeldt, deputy mayor of Hamburg, Germany – where several victims came from – attended the ceremony, alongside survivors and relatives of the victims.
The remains, belonging mostly to children and adults who were patients at the mental hospital Am Steinhof, were uncovered during recent research into Nazi-era activities.
During the Second World War, some 3,500 patients at the facility overlooking Vienna were killed, most often by systematic negligence, exposure to cold and undernourishment, as well as deliberate contagion with infectious diseases, according to official sources.
Among the victims were some 780 children and teenagers, whose remains were still used for years after the war for medical and scientific purposes.
In 2002, the first remains from over 600 children were buried at the Zentralfriedhof in a section dedicated to Nazi victims.
A monument is also planned at the site to honour the victims of Nazi medical experiments in Viennese institutions.
"To remember and commemorate, that's what we can do for the victims. To tackle our past," Haeupl said at Wednesday's ceremony, a day after the 67th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.
The psychiatric hospital Am Steinhof was set up in the early 1900s and still exists, although it has since been renamed.

Closure of bankruptcy
The court must make an order on the closure of bankruptcy, if the funds of the bankruptcy estate are insufficient for the costs of the bankruptcy proceedings, or if the disbursement to the creditors would in any case be insignificant. The order on the closure of bankruptcy is usually made within two to six months of the beginning of bankruptcy.
At the closure of bankruptcy, the duties of the administrator and the other legal effects of bankruptcy cease. A limited liability company debtor is removed from the trade register.
If assets remain in the closed bankruptcy estate, they are submitted to the execution authorities, who will distribute them to the creditors.
Public receivership
A bankruptcy with insufficient means, which would otherwise be closed due to the lack of assets, may be continued under public receivership. The prerequisite is that the pre-bankruptcy operations of the debtor, or the activities of the bankruptcy estate, require scrutiny, or some other special reason.
The Bankruptcy Ombudsman files the request for transfer to public receivership, and the order is made by the court. Public receivership means that bankruptcy proceedings are continued under the financial responsibility and the supervision of the Bankruptcy Ombudsman. The public receiver acting as the administrator submits a report and the final settlement of accounts to the Bankruptcy Ombudsman.

US and Mexico align on produce safety
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is joining forces with Mexico's National Service for Agro-Alimentary Public Health, Safety and Quality (SENASICA) and Federal Commission for the Protection from Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) to promote the safety of fresh and minimally processed food products.
Safety collaboration
A group of FDA officials led by commissioner Margaret Hamburg travelled south of the border to meet with the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA), the parent agency of SENASICA and the Ministry of Health (over COFEPRIS) to discuss the partnership. According to Hamburg, communication among international agencies is crucial to the food supply worldwide.
"To be successful as regulators, the FDA must continue developing new strategies and partnerships that allow us to more comprehensively and collectively respond to the challenges that come with globalization," she said. "The FDA is working with our Mexican government counterparts as well as stakeholders from industry, commerce, agriculture, and academia to ensure the safety of products for American and Mexican consumers."
Federal commissioner of COFEPRIS Mikel Arriola Peñalosa said public health also is a high priority among Mexican officials.
"The partnership will focus on implementing preventive practices and food verification measures that meet the guidelines and best international practices for produce safety," he said.
Food exports
Mexico is tops on the list of countries exporting FDA-regulated foods intended for human consumption into America. Each year, the country's producers send $4.6bn worth of fresh vegetables, $3.1bn in fresh fruit, and other fresh and processed foods to the US.
Among the goals of the produce safety partnership: crafting preventive practices and verification measures for the production of safe produce. These include sharing data between the two countries in order to understand each other's safety procedures, coming up with education and outreach materials, developing common approaches for training, working together on outbreak response and traceability, and collaborating with private-sector stakeholders.

QUESTION: Why is there more helium-3 on the moon than on Earth? Might helium-3 be valuable enough, possibly for controlled nuclear fusion, to extract it from the moon, as done in the new film "Moon"?
– John Myers, San Diego
ANSWER: Helium-3 – the rare, lightweight relative of the helium-4 we use to fill balloons – is carried by the solar wind. Earth has a strong magnetic field that deflects most of the solar wind particles. In contrast, because the moon lacks a magnetic field and an atmosphere, the elements carried by the solar wind become implanted in the moon's surface.
Lunar soil samples collected by the Apollo astronauts revealed that helium-3 is more abundant on the moon than on Earth. A recent computer simulation estimated that the relative abundance is approximately 30,000 to 1.
The simulation – which accounted for the solar wind strength, the shielding effect of the Earth's magnetic field tail on the near side of the moon, and the mineral composition of the lunar soil – also calculated that there is more helium-3 on the lunar near side than the far side due to the distribution of ilmenite – the only lunar mineral that traps helium-3 effectively.
Helium-3 has been touted as an ideal fuel for nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion powers the stars, and it has the potential to be a clean, sustainable source of power for earthlings. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor is designed to make that potential a reality in the next three decades. However, success is not a given: 50 years ago, practical nuclear fusion was predicted to be five decades off.
The reactor uses the fusion of deuterium – a heavy isotope of hydrogen – into helium-4. An intermediate step in this reaction is the formation of tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. This fusion process also forms a high-energy stream of neutrons. Because tritium is radioactive, and because neutrons are highly destructive to the reaction vessel, containment is a considerable challenge.
On the other hand, helium-3 is not radioactive, and the fusion of helium-3 does not produce radioactive intermediates or neutrons. A small helium-3 fusion reactor has demonstrated the feasibility of helium-3 fusion, but as with deuterium fusion, it currently takes a greater input of energy to drive the fusion reaction than is harnessed from the fusion process.
Therefore, creating a prototype fusion power plant is the greatest hurdle to bringing "Moon" out of the realm of science fiction. Mining the moon for helium-3 is theoretically, though not currently economically, feasible. To make fusion a significant source of power, surface rock from enormous swaths of the moon would need to be collected and processed.

Hip injury rules out Ukraine stopper Fyodorov
KIEV, May 22 (Reuters) - Ukraine defender Serhiy Fyodorov has suffered a hip injury and will miss the World Cup finals, his club Dynamo Kiev said on Monday.
The club's website said: 'According to Dynamo's head coach Anatoly Demyanenko he will need three months to recover.'
Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin last week expressed concern at a string of injuries to key players -- including Fyodorov and AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko.
He said the side had too small a pool of defenders to draw on to solve their problems, particularly on the right side.
Russia's RIA news agency, meanwhile, said Shevchenko had told reporters he was optimistic he would recover from his knee injury.
'As far as my injury is concerned, I'm hoping I can resume training soon and be in proper condition for the tournament,' he was quoted as saying.
Ukraine, who are in the same group as Spain, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia, have embarked on a training camp in Turkey. They host a friendly next Sunday against Cost Rica before final training sessions and three more friendlies in Switzerland.

Don't be alarmed if you see a large plane flying pretty low to the ground today. It's most likely just NASA conducting data on air pollution in our area.
The space agency's P-3B research plane will be gathering data between 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The plane will fly as low as 1,000 feet above the ground along a route that will take it over major roadway traffic corridors.
It is part of a NASA mission to improve the capability of satellites to measure air quality from space.
More than a dozen other flights are planned for our area through July.

wikiHow to Get Free Apps
Three Methods:iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch AppsAndroid AppsBlackBerry AppsCommunity Q&A
Apps are a big part of what makes a smartphone a smartphone. They are small programs, ranging from simple tools to elaborately designed video games, that can be added to your touchscreen device to make it more useful and entertaining. Follow the steps below to learn how to find and install free apps for the smartphone operating system (OS) of your choice.
iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch Apps
1Download iTunes. Before you get any free apps, it is essential that you have iTunes on your computer, or the App Store app on your phone. iTunes can be downloaded for free at http://www.apple.com/itunes.
- Be sure to get the correct version of iTunes for your operating system.
- Once you've downloaded iTunes, find the download and double click on it to open and run the installation program.
- The App Store app should come preloaded on your device. Tap to open it.
2Find the App Store. Open iTunes and look at the sidebar on the left to find the "iTunes Store" link. Click the link to load the store inside iTunes.
- Once the store is loaded, look at the dark bar along the top of the window and click the "App Store" button.
- You don't need to do this if you're browsing from the App Store app on your device.
3Filter by price. The most basic method is to filter all apps by price. Click or touch the search bar and type "free" into it. Hit enter and wait for the screen to load.
- You will see two groupings: one for iPhone apps, and one for iPad apps. Next to each group header there's a link that reads "see all." Click it to display every free app for the device of your choice.
- This method displays huge pages of free apps, but there's no way to search within those results except by manually browsing. There's no way to organize or reorder the apps, either.
4Filter by type, then price. You can choose to filter to a certain app category before looking at free apps in that category, but only the most popular free apps can be easily found using this method.
- From the App Store page, click the drop-down menu at the upper right and select a category. Alternatively, you can click the triangle next to the App Store button on the black bar at the top of the screen.
- Scroll partway down the splash screen that appears. You will see a sidebar on the right labeled "Top free apps." Click the link next to the header that says "see all."
- Browse the most popular free apps on the next page. You can organize your results by name, popularity, or age. Only the top 200 most popular apps in each category are displayed. On the plus side, it's likely that these apps are all well-designed, reliable, and useful.
5Browse blindly. This method allows you to find any app you want, but there's no way to filter free apps from paid apps.
- Choose a category or start from the main page. Click any featured category to browse it. Click on any app to check its price (the price will appear on a gray button to the left of the screen that loads next).
- If you haven't found what you want yet, type the category name into the search bar and hit enter. This will yield a mix of apps that contain the search term, including apps from other categories that have the search term in their names. However, the results will skew towards the appropriate category.
- If you want to find a specific app, type its name into the search bar from the App Store and hit enter. If the app is available, it will appear in the search results.
6Download your app. Once you've found a free app you want, be sure your device is linked to your computer and click the gray button on the description page to download the app. Sync your device to complete the process.
- If you're browsing from your device, simply tap the gray button to download it directly.
- You can check the apps you've downloaded by clicking the Apps category in the left sidebar of iTunes, below the Music category.
- If syncing doesn't seem to work, try dragging icons from the Apps category directly onto the name of your device, displayed in the left sidebar.
Android Apps
1Decide how to shop. This guide is primarily designed for adding apps from your computer to a linked Android device.
- Connect your device to your computer before you begin, unless using your device to shop.
- If you're shopping with the Google Play Store (aka Android Market) app on your device, the process is simpler. Tap the icon to get started.
2Navigate to the Android Market/Google Play website. It can be found at https://play.google.com/store.
- From the menu on the left, select Android Apps.
3Browse free apps by "Top Free" category on the left side of the screen. Click "All Top Free Apps" at the bottom of the category to view the most popular free Android apps. Your results will be limited to the top 480 most popular free apps.
4Browse popular free apps by category. If you have some idea of what you want, click the "Categories" tab at the top left of the screen to see a list of categories, including several game categories and a long list of non-game categories.
- Choose the category you're interested in.
- Look for the tab that reads "Top Free" in the middle of the screen, near the top, next to the "Top Paid" tab.
- Click the tab to browse the top 480 free apps for the category you chose.
5Search by name. If you know the name of the app you want, use the search bar to look for it directly. Enter the name of the app into the bar and hit enter.
6Download your app. Click the gray "Install" button to retrieve the app. If you haven't accessed the store with your device before, you will be prompted to do so now.
- Once the store knows what device you're using, download the app. It should install directly to your phone.
BlackBerry Apps
1Navigate to BlackBerry World. BlackBerry World is where all applications for the BlackBerry OS can be found. It is located at http://us.blackberry.com/apps/blackberry-world.html.
- If you'd like to download apps directly to your device, click the link on the BlackBerry World main page that reads "Download BlackBerry World for your smartphone."
2Visit the store. Click the blue button that says "Browse and download apps online," or tap the BlackBerry World app icon on your device to open it.
3Choose the appropriate category from the top (light gray) menu bar. The categories are Apps, Games, Themes, Music, and Video.
- The Apps category is for apps that don't fall into one of the other categories, such as calendars, calculators, and social media tools.
4Scroll down the page until you find the "All Apps" category.
5Click the radio button to the right of the category header that reads "Free." You're now browsing all free apps in the selected category. You can reorder your results by name, vendor (brand) name, popularity, or age.
6If you know the name of the app you want, use the search bar to find it by name instead.
7Download your app. On your device, this is as simple as tapping the "free" button; to download through your computer, you will need to take a couple of extra steps.
- Click the "free" icon to get the app directly from the search results page, or click the name of the app to read more about it first, and then click the blue button to get it.
- Log into BlackBerry World using your BlackBerry ID.
- Download the app per the instructions that follow.
- Sync your BlackBerry device with your computer to transfer the app to the device.
Community Q&A
- Many websites also offer custom apps for download directly from the site. These apps are usually free, and typically do little more than provide quick, streamlined access to site content on your device. To get them, use your device's Internet browser to navigate to the appropriate site, and then tap the app link or icon to install it.

Is Arland Bruce III worth the hassle?
That's what a few general managers might be asking themselves after the Montreal Alouettes sent him packing on Wednesday, just two weeks after the CFL fined him for comments he made about gay U.S. college football player Michael Sam.
Trouble has never been too far away from Bruce, no matter where he played. Whether it was a bar fight during his first stop in Winnipeg, getting traded from the Toronto Argonauts after clashing with head coach Bart Andrus and leaving his playbook on a plane or his Michael Jackson tribute during a touchdown celebration, Bruce often makes headlines for all the wrong reasons.
On the other hand, he still makes headlines for his play on the field, too.
