South Carolina
If there was ever a day when Clemson looked headed to a victory over rival South Carolina, it was Friday going to the bottom of the fifth inning. There, the Tigers had silenced the Gamecocks crowd of 8,242 by jumping out to a 6-1 lead. However, the Gamecocks battled back in the bottom of the inning, as All-American catcher Grayson Greiner hit a grand slam to trim the lead to 6-5. The Gamecocks scored two more runs in the sixth inning, and single runs in the seventh and eighth innings on their way to an impressive 9-6 come-from-behind victory … Greiner finished the contest 3-for-4 with five RBIs, while Max Schrock, Kyle Martin and Marcus Mooney each added two hits … On the mound, South Carolina left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery struck out nine, walked five and allowed six runs in 5 1/3 innings, while Clemson's Daniel Gossett didn't fare much significantly better, allowing five runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Austin Robichaux, rhp, Louisiana-Lafayette
The Ragin' Cajuns are off to a terrific start this season and Robichaux is just one of several talented arms to watch. Robichaux, who has a loose arm with a fastball well into the 90s, was dominant against Alabama on Friday. He struck out 11, walked one and allowed just seven hits in a complete game shutout and 2-0 win over the Crimson Tide. Robichaux threw 128 pitches in the game, 92 of them for strikes. ULL improves to 9-1 with the impressive series-opening victory.
Illinois 6, No. 19 Florida 0
The Florida Gators hope to get things back on track sooner rather than later. The Gators dropped a series at Miami last weekend, while they struggled offensively in the midweek, too. Well, the Gators suffered a tough loss to Illinois, 6-0, on Friday. UF starting pitcher Bobby Poyner allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings, while the Gators offense simply couldn't figure out talented Illinois left-handed pitcher Kevin Duchene, who struck out six, walked two and allowed just three hits in a complete game shutout.
Texas 2, No. 12 Rice 0
Belmont 4, Mercer 3
The Citadel 6, Nebraska 3
Presbyterian 10, Auburn 6
Albany 6, Campbell 3
Seton Hall 9, Arizona 1
Rice has one of the nation's best pitching staffs this season, but things could've taken a turn for the worse Friday night when right-handed pitcher Jordan Stephens suddenly left the Texas game after striking out three in two shutout innings. Stephens' velocity was normal for the most part. Though he has the ability to touch some 91-92s on the radar gun with his fastball, he topped out at 90 against the Longhorns. Stephens also had a solid 80-81 mph slider, while he had a looping mid-70s curveball. More will be divulged about Stephens' status in the coming days, but hopefully it's not serious.
Cal State Fullerton: Titans head coach Rick Vanderhook said two weeks ago he would find a way to get his team headed the right direction. Fullerton started the Oregon series in very impressive fashion, winning 9-2, with right-handed pitcher Thomas Eshelman striking out seven, walking one and allowing just two hits in eight shutout innings … Also, third baseman Matt Chapman is on a hot streak, smacking a double, home run and knocking in three runs in the process. Fullerton roughed up UO lefty Tommy Thorpe, who allowed seven runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Miami beats Florida State: The Hurricanes made a statement last weekend by taking two of three from Florida last weekend. Well, the 'Canes are now a win away from doing something even bigger after beating Florida State 3-1 on the road. Miami left-handed pitcher Chris Diaz was terrific against the Seminoles, striking out six walking two and allowing just four hits in seven innings … Diaz outdueled FSU right-handed pitcher and elite prospect Luke Weaver, who struck out seven, walked two and allowed three runs in six innings.
Jeff Hoffman, rhp, East Carolina: The Pirates didn't have a great day at the plate, but Hoffman was outstanding in a 2-1 win over Western Kentucky. The hard-throwing righty struck out 14, walked one and allowed just a run on five hits in eight innings. Hoffman threw 109 pitches, 74 for strikes.
Chase Mallard, rhp, UAB: What a season the senior righty is having thus far for the Blazers. Mallard has yet to allow a run in 21 1/3 innings following Friday's 5-0 win over Arkansas State. Mallard struck out seven, walked one and allowed just a hit in seven innings.
Kyle Freeland, lhp, Evansville: Freeland had an impressive summer at the Cape Cod League, and entered this spring expected to have a dominant campaign. Well, Freeland couldn't have been better in the Purple Aces' 1-0 win over Western Illinois. He struck out nine, walked no one and allowed just two hits in nine shutout innings.
Chris Ellis, rhp, Ole Miss: Ellis has always had a premium arm, and now he's displaying impressive consistency. The talented righty had yet another solid performance in a 4-3 win over Central Florida. Ellis struck out five, walked four and allowed just a run and hit in seven innings. Surprisingly, Ole Miss is 9-1 with the win.
Aaron Nola, rhp, LSU: Everyone knows all about Nola's consistency, but we never stop being impressed. Nola struck out 10, walked one and allowed just five hits in six innings in a huge 19-0 win over Yale … Also for the Tigers, designated hitter Kade Scivicque had three hits, one a home run, and four RBIs.
James Kaprielian, rhp, UCLA: The Bruins might be struggling offensively, but Kaprielian continues to get better and better on the mound as a starter. The talented righty struck out 11, walked two and allowed just a hit in eight shutout frames in a 2-1 win over Notre Dame.
Andrew Rohrbach, rhp, Long Beach State: The Dirtbags split a doubleheader with Wichita State on the road, with Rohrbach shining in Game Two. The veteran righty struck out nine, walked four and allowed just four hits in a complete game shutout and 7-0 win over the Shockers.
David Speer, lhp, Columbia: Don't tell the Lions northern teams typically struggle early in the season. Columbia's talented lefty struck out eight, walked no one and allowed just five hits in eight shutout innings in a 1-0 road win over sizzling South Florida.
Harrison Musgrave, lhp, West Virginia: The Mountaineers should fight for an NCAA postseason bid in the Big 12 this spring, as long as guys like Musgrave continue to impress. Musgrave struck out 12, walked no one and allowed just two hits in eight innings in a 3-1 win over Duke.
Texas passes biggest test thus far: We've had the idea for a while the Longhorns might just get back to their usual winning ways, but until tonight, there was a lot of skepticism, and for good reason. The Longhorns, though, looked very solid all around in a 2-0 win over in-state foe Rice. 'Horns left-handed pitcher Dillon Peters had excellent command of the zone with an 89-92 fastball and good curveball. He struck out six and allowed just six hits in eight shutout frames.
Auburn: There's a great chance the Tigers get things going at some point with first-year coach Sunny Golloway leading the way, but that time doesn't seem to be coming soon. AU continues to mightily struggle, dropping a 10-6 decision to Presbyterian. AU starting pitcher Dillon Ortman allowed seven runs on 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings, while the offense couldn't produce much against PC starting pitcher Beau Dees, who allowed just a run in seven innings.
Michigan State: The Spartans made a positive impression last weekend with timely hitting and a physical offensive approach. However, that unit apparently didn't do enough on Saturday as the Spartans dropped contests to Mississippi State, and surprisingly, Eastern Illinois. Spartans right-handed pitcher Justin Alleman allowed three runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings to lead the way.
TCU: One of the biggest concerns about the Horned Frogs coming into the season was the offense. It's been so far, so-so at times, while the offense had very limited production in a blowout loss to Sam Houston State. Imposing first baseman Kevin Cron had the only notable big-time hit in the game, launching a three-run home run when the game was determines, while shortstop Keaton Jones had three hits and an RBI.

|Moderator -> Everyone
|Hello everyone. Welcome to our live chat! Thank you for joining us today. We are eager to answer all your questions, so please begin submitting them now.
|Katie -> Everyone
|Hello and welcome to the Live Chat! I'm here to answer questions about Chicago Business Fellows and anything else.
|Beth -> Everyone

|Kara -> Everyone
|Greetings from Chicago Booth! Thank you for joining our chat. My name is Kara Northcutt, and I look forward to answering your questions about Booth's Evening MBA and Weekend MBA programs. Keep in mind that our next application deadline for Spring 2013 is January 11th. There is plenty of time to apply!
|Gretchen -> Everyone
|Welcome to the Chicago Booth Live Chat. We are thrilled that you are interested in Chicago Booth. My name is Gretchen Cooper, the director of admissions, and look forward to hearing from you.
|Brad -> Kara
|Hello. I'm interested to know how many weekends per year I would plan to be in Chicago.
|Kara -> Brad
|Brad, I hope all is well! Weekend MBA classes meet every Saturday during the quarter. The fall, winter and spring quarters are 11 weeks and summer quarter is 10 weeks. Therefore, it is safe to plan for 43 weekends per year.
|Denise -> Katie
|If you apply to the Full Time program and are accepted, then later decide that the Part Time program is a better fit, is it possible to switch?
|Katie -> Denise
|Hello Denise: You are not able to transfer between the part-time and full-time programs. For those in the Evening MBA or Weekend MBA you can transfer once between those programs. This is particularly beneficial to students who relocate either to Chicago or out of Chicago.
|Ben -> Beth
|Does the weekend MBA program only start in the fall semester?
|Beth -> Ben
|Yes, Ben, the Weekend program only starts in the Fall quarter. As a reminder, the deadline for the Weekend application is Friday, May 10 and the Fall quarter begins September 26. LAUNCH for the Weekend class is on August 23, 24, & 25. The Weekend application is live and once you submit our office will have a final decision to you within 4-6 weeks.
|Zee -> Gretchen
|What are the strengths of your program? Does it matter to you that I have to travel from the east coast?
|Gretchen -> Zee
|Zee: It is great that you would travel in from the East Coast. Over 86% of our Weekend MBA students travel in from outside of Illinois. The geographical diversity adds to the benefits of the Booth MBA Program. Also, the flexibility of the curriculum and your ability to choose exactly which classes you want to take, in what order and how many classes per quarter is a very attractive aspect of a Booth MBA.
|Raj -> Beth
|I'm applying for the weekend part time program and work at a small company who doesn't really have an HR office. My manager is supportive about my completion of an MBA but im concerned how much of his time ill need to take having him fill out paperwork. if there is no company reimbursement what exactly does my manager need to do?
|Beth -> Raj
|Raj, when applying to the Weekend program, we do not require any company letter of support. So unless your manager is completing a letter of recommendation for your application, there will be nothing he will be required to submit.
|Krishna -> Gretchen
|1) Are weekend MBA students allowed to do recruiting in second year with FT students?
|Gretchen -> Krishna
|Krishna, yes, our Evening MBA and Weekend MBA students are certainly able to participate in On Campus Recruiting for full time jobs after you have taken twelve classes. You would be going through recruiting with our Full Time students.
|Ajoe -> Beth
|Hi, Beth. I don't remember submitting my original transcripts with my applicaiton.
|Beth -> Ajoe
|Ajoe, we're thrilled you'll be joining us! We will you to submit your official transcripts to our office. You should have received an email from my colleague Susan Thoma today. You will also need to submit your enrollment form and deposit. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either Susan or myself.
|Brad -> Kara
|Are there particular industries which target Booth students? If so, what would the strongest job opportunities come from? I'm interested in trying something new after having done CPG, Retail and Logistics
|Kara -> Brad
|Brad, a very wide variety of industries recruit students and alumni from Booth including consulting, all financial services, healthcare, CPG, and start-ups just to name a few. You gain access to Career Services as soon as you start the program, and it is a lifelong service. Depending on what industry you are interested in getting into, you will tailor your approach to career services. For example, if you are interested in CPG, you can sign up to receive email notifications from our job posting database when positions in that industry are posted.
|Chon -> Beth
|Can evening MBA students take weekend MBA classes?
|Beth -> Chon
|Chon- great question. Yes, Evening MBA students can take Weekend classes, whatever timing works best with your schedule. As a reminder, Weekend classes meet every Saturday from 9am-noon and/or 1:30-4:30pm.
|odionokojie -> Katie
|I am thinking of attending chicago booth part time in the Spring. But I work all the way out in New York...is there any way I can take some classes online or so I have to be in Chicago every weekend??
|Katie -> odionokojie
|Hello odionokojie: It sounds like the Weekend MBA might be a better fit for you. Over 80% of Weekend students are living and working outside Illinois. Classes meet every Saturday. We provide free shuttles from the two Chicago airports to make the commute easier. The Weekend MBA starts in the Autumn quarter only (deadline: May 10th). We do not offer online classes.
|Raj_Vonguru -> Gretchen
|Can you please talk about campus recruiting and how is it different when compared to the full-time MBA
|Gretchen -> Raj_Vonguru
|Raj_Vonrguru: The similarities are what are important. The same companies recruit Full Time MBA and Evening MBA and Weekend MBA students. Firms recruit Booth talent through a number of mediums – On Campus Recruiting, job postings, resume referrals etc.
|Raj_Vonguru -> Kara
|How do we reach out to Booth Alumni or the current students?
|Kara -> Raj_Vonguru
|Raj, the best way is to reach out to me directly and let me know some characteristics of alumni or students you'd like to connect with. I will then have someone reach out to you. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
|Katie -> Everyone
|Here's a look at our admissions deadlines.
|Raj -> Katie
|What is the shortest amount of time I can finish the weekend program in?
|Katie -> Raj
|Hi Raj: The Chicago Booth MBA includes 20 courses plus Effective Leadership. If you take 2 courses per quarter, you will complete the program in 2.5 years.
|Roman -> Gretchen
|Hey all, Im currently a Day Trader in the Chicago area, so the evening MBA program really appeals to me. My question is more philosophical I guess...is it still worth the time/effort/money to persue and MBA if I don't really want to make a career change but want the experience and credentials that comes with a Booth MBA
|Gretchen -> Roman
|Roman, yes. Full time working professionals pursue a Chicago Booth MBA to change careers, enhance and accelerate careers and to build skills and experiences. We have a number of traders at Chicago Booth. You may be interested in our Chicago Booth Trading Group: http://www.chicagobooth.edu/programs/evening/student-experience/beyond-classroom/groups
|Beck -> Katie
|What is the average class size for the Weekend MBA program?
|Katie -> Beck
|Hi Beck: The Weekend MBA class is usually between 100 and 120 students.
|VB -> Kara
|What specific skills can one expect to master with your program?
|Kara -> VB
|VB, in general alumni tell us that they greatly enhance their critical thinking, leadership, and management skills. In addition, alumni always mention that they become more confident as a result of the program. Students also gain industry specific skills based on the concentrations they pursue.
|n/a -> Beth
|If I am a non-US citizen but live and work in the US on H1-B visa, am I considered an international applicant? I ask because some sections of the application form require information from "International Applicants only"
|Beth -> n/a
|Good question. If you are on a H1-B visa, the only section you would need to additionally answer would be your permanent address. Other than that, please complete all other fields in the application.
|Chon -> Beth
|Thanks, Beth. I heard that students are ranked in some ways to register for classes. How does that work? Also what's the average GMAT score for the Evening MBA program this year?
|Beth -> Chon
|Chon - all students bid on classes at the same time, so there is no preference or ranking given. The average GMAT score for the Evening program is 680 but 80% of our incoming students have a GMAT score between 620 to 750.
|Dan -> Kara
|Hi, from reading previous chats and FAQs I know the makeup of the summer and fall evening classes are the same based on GMATs and GPAs. What is the size difference between the classes? I am also curious if you can give me a sense of what percentage of each class you have accepted already for 2013? ?
|Kara -> Dan
|Dan, we matriculate the following number of students per quarter... Weekend, Autumn 100-120; Evening, Autumn 150-170; Winter 70-90; Spring 70-90; Summer 70-90. We do not publish our acceptance rates.Regarding 2013 classes, we have plenty of space in the spring, summer and fall classes, as most applications are submitted the week of the deadline.
|Beck -> Gretchen
|What is the main advantage of the Chicago Booth MBA compared to the Kellogg program at the NW?
|Gretchen -> Beck
|Beck: We encourage you to visit all of the schools you are interested in attending. In talking specifically about Booth, the flexibility of the Booth curriculum is a leading attractive factor for our prospects. As Chicago Booth is not a lock-step program and there are no required academic classes, you choose what classes you want to take, in what order you take them and how many classes you take per quarter. We want our students to gain the most benefit from our program and therefore giving you a great deal of choice is a program differentiator.
|Roman -> Beth
|I work for a small company and literally have one boss, where should my 2nd recommendation letter come from??
|Beth -> Roman
|Roman - good question. For your second letter of recommendation, you can ask a colleague or someone who you have worked with on a project. Please be sure to explain why you chose your recommenders in your application to help us understand your choices.
|PK -> Katie
|Hi, just curious whether senior & junior year grades are weighted more heavily than 1st and 2nd year grades when looking at GPA's. Tks
|Katie -> PK
|Hi PK: We ask for transcripts from all colleges and universities you attended for undergraduate and graduate school. We use holistic admissions which means we evaluate everything in your application. All this to say, we look at the entire transcript. We also understand that college is a time of discovery and applicants can't go back and change it. If one piece of your application is not as strong, then, I recommend building up the other parts.
|VB -> Beth
|Do you make any exceptions on your GMAT requirement
|Beth -> VB
|VB - all applicants are required to submit either a GMAT or GRE score with their application.
|Beck -> Beth
|Thank you for this initiative (live chat) - it is very helpful. What is the average GMAT score for the Weekend program this year?
|Beth -> Beck
|Beck, the average GMAT score for the Weekend program is 700 but 80% of our incoming students have GMAT scores between 620 and 750.
|Harold -> Kara
|What has been the experience with weather disruptions during winter months for past/current students flying into Chicago for the weekend program?
|Kara -> Harold
|Harold, this is a great question. I have posed this question to dozens of weekend students who fly to Chicago each week. Each person has said they rarely or never missed a class due to weather. Some students will fly in on Friday nights during the winter just to be safe.
|VB -> Katie
|Can you please send me a link to the evening MBA courses offered.
|Katie -> VB
|Hi VB: Great question. We encourage you to explore the course offerings while applying. Here is the link (you do not need to login): http://boothportal.chicagobooth.edu/portal/server.pt/community/course_search/205
|Raj_Vonguru -> Beth
|Good Morning. Can you please briefly touch on the criterion used in evaluating the applications. Are there percenatge points allocated to each stage of the application (essays, interview, community involvement etc)?
|Beth -> Raj_Vonguru
|Raj, our office takes a holistic approach when reviewing applications. We review your essays, transcripts, GMAT, and community involvement. We know you are full-time working professionals and may not have time for as much community involvement as you would like but please be sure to list it in your application. We take all of this into account when making our decision.
|n/a -> Gretchen
|One of the questions on the application form is "To which other graduate business schools are you applying?" why is Booth interested in this information and does it influence the decision to accept an applicant? Thanks in advance.
|Gretchen -> n/a
|n/a: The other school/s that you may put on your application do not influence the Deans decisions. The purpose of the application is for the Deans to gather as much information as possible and our admissions team wants to make sure that we are providing you with all of the relevant information that you may need in your search.
|Raj_Vonguru -> Katie
|Hello. I am intersted in more than one major. Is there any requirement in Booth that I should focus on only one major to graduate with?
|Katie -> Raj_Vonguru
|Hello Raj_Vonguru: At Booth you can earn as many concentrations as you like. Concentrations are smaller than majors and usually require 3-5 courses. You can view the list here: http://www.chicagobooth.edu/programs/evening/academics/curriculum/#c
|Chon -> Beth
|I am planning to apply to the Evening MBA program that starts in spring 2013. Will submitting my application earlier help? Or it doesn't matter much as long as I submit it by January 11.
|Beth -> Chon
|Chon - please submit your application when you are ready. Most of our applicants submit in the few weeks prior to the application deadline. Regardless of when you submit, our office will give you a decision within 4-6 weeks.
|Brad_B -> Kara
|In respect to the Post 9/11 GI Bill... I see on va.gov that Booth is listed as offering an unlimited number of students award as Yellow Ribbon status? Is this indeed true?
|Kara -> Brad_B
|Brad, Many of our students who have served in the military are receiving Yellow Ribbon funding. However, I am uncertain if the funds are unlimited. Please send me an email, firstname.lastname@example.com, and I can look into this for you.
|Moderator -> Everyone
|We are half way through the chat and have had great questions so far. Please continue to submit your questions! We will try to answer all of them today.
|Naper -> Beth
|Does the part-time program have the equivalent of the full-time International MBA (IMBA)? Also, I'm very interested in the International Business Exchange program. As a part-time student, can I take a quarter off from work and study at a partner institution abroad?
|Beth -> Naper
|Yes, the part-time program does have the IMBA, for more information and degree requirements please visit http://www.chicagobooth.edu/programs/weekend/academics/international/imba. If your schedule permits, you can spend a quarter abroad with one of our 33 partner schools. For more information, including which partner schools we work with, please visit http://www.chicagobooth.edu/programs/weekend/academics/international. If you would like to be connected with a current evening or weekend student who has participated in the IBEP/IMBA program, please email me at email@example.com and I would be happy to put you in contact.
|Gretchen -> Everyone
|Chicago Booth tracks the number of publications or mentions in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial Times, Businessweek, Chicago Tribune, Fortune, Forbes, Economist, TV/Radio networks, and newswires) and during the months of April through July, 2012, Booth was mentioned 315 times in comparison with Columbia (82), Harvard (229), Kellogg (69), MIT (81), Stanford (86), Wharton (147). Booth did a lot of TV interviews and therefore this may not have been a representative period for Booth.

|Nov 13, 10:39:00
|Eric -> Kara
|This all sounds fantastic, but I can only think that going to Booth is only a dream. I read the testimonials, the qualifications, and I feel that I do not possess the experience or credentials to qualify for the part-time program. I know my ability to learn and my work ethic, but I do not believe that this can be conveyed through a resume or application. Therefore, what qualities are the admission staff looking for in a potential candidate?
|Eric, we look for a wide variety of characteristics in our candidates. Motivation, work ethic, and intellectual curiosity are common characteristics our students possess. Keep in mind that our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, We have students with 2 years of experience, while others have 15 years. It is up to you to tell your story well and explain how the Booth MBA fits into your short term and long term goals. You are guaranteed to get an interview, so you will not have to tell your story only in the online application. I realize the process may seem intimidating, but you will never know if you can get in if you do not apply.
|Nov 13, 10:41:49
|raman -> Beth
|hello i understand that i can do part of my course work in Bangalore India. is that for select courses ?
|Raman - the majority of your coursework needs to be completed at Chicago Booth, in Chicago, with the exception if you were to take classes through our International Business Exchange Program (IBEP). For more information on our IBEP courses, please visit http://www.chicagobooth.edu/programs/weekend/academics/international
|Naper -> Kara
|Hello, I'm currently taking a class through the GSAL program in the Autumn quarter. I'm interested in applying to Booth for the Spring quarter. Should I wait till the grades for Autumn are released, or can I go ahead and submit an application before that?
|Kara -> Naper
|Naper, yes, it is best to submit your application with your GSAL grades. You will have your grades approximately 10 days past the end of the quarter. You can self report your grades into the application system.
|Moderator -> Everyone
|Our chat will be ending in 15 minutes. Please submit your final questions so we can answer all of them!
|Kaza -> Kara
|Hi, Do weekend students (flying from outside of Chicago area) normally participate in the student clubs/events? Are the clubs/event timings flexible so that Weekend students can participate given the limited time they spend time on campus?
|Kara -> Kaza
|Kaza, yes! Our Weekend MBA students are very involved in the community. The majority of out student group events take place on Saturday during the lunch hour between classes. This allows our Weekend student to be involved.
|VB -> Gretchen
|It appears that your class is geared towards professionals early in their career. Will your course enhance the skill sets of individuals who are experienced and possess the skills of leadership, critical thinking, etc. how does your executive MBA differ from your evening program in this regard?
|Gretchen -> VB
|VB: The years of work experience ranges in the Evening MBA and the Weekend MBA Program from 0-10+ years, with the average years of work experience being 5-6 years. The Executive MBA Program is geared toward professionals who are more senior in his/her career and have an average of tweleve years of work experience. All the programs at Chicago Booth provide you with the opportunity to enhance your skills and experiences. The structure of the programs are different and therefore you can contact our admissions team for more information on which program may be the right fit for you.
|Katie -> Everyone
|We have a really cool series of events called Chicago Conversations that all of you are invited to attend. These events take place across the world and are based on an industry that is relevant to the host city. For example, health care in Minneapolis. See all the topics and cities here: http://www.chicagobooth.edu/conversations/events/index.aspx
|Dan -> Beth
|At what point can you schedule an interview? Can you discuss the process of scheduling the interview as well as the typical schedule the day of your interview? Thank you
|Beth -> Dan
|Dan, you can schedule your admissions interview after you submit your application. Once you submit your application, our office will reach out to schedule it. Interviews are typically scheduled 4pm, 5pm or 6pm but we are willing to work with your schedule. Interviews are conducted by members of our Admissions Committee, which is comprised of current students, alumni and staff. Interviews typically last 45-60 minutes.
|mscherer1124 -> Gretchen
|Is there a precedent for part-time students participating in the Venture Capital Investment Competition, the Sterling Partners Investment Thesis competition, or the New Venture Challenge? It looks like these are geared towards the full-time students. Thanks! - Mike Scherer
|Gretchen -> mscherer1124
|Mike, great to hear from you. All three of the competitions that you mentioned are certainly open to part-time students as well. If you would like more information on any of them please let me know.
|raman -> Katie
|hello i would like to get a jump start. i am considering enrolling into Graham school. I have an Engg. degree. what courses do you suggest, so they can transfer to the summer mba program. thanks
|Katie -> raman
|Hi Raman: Graham School is a great way to test drive the Booth classroom. You can take Booth classes as a non-degree seeking student through the GSAL program. Up to 3 courses can count toward your Booth degree. We suggest taking foundational classes which include microeconomics, business statistics, and financial accounting. Here is more information on applying to the Graham School: https://grahamschool.uchicago.edu/content/gsal-application
|Moderator -> Everyone
|We have ten minutes left in the chat! Please submit your final questions and we will be happy to answer them!
|Raj -> Kara
|Roughly how many hours of work do weekend students typically spend on coursework (including group meetings, classes, etc.)
|Kara -> Raj
|Raj, this varies from class to class. I would say three to five hours per class is a good estimate. This will also vary based on your expertise. As you register for classes, you will have access to course reviews. Reviews include the time students report spending out of class. This is very helpful in helping you pair your courses.
|raman -> Beth
|hello, are part time mba students allowed to participate in interviews during the last quarter ? because we are employed
|Beth -> raman

Raj_Vonguru: Can you please talk about campus recruiting and how is it different when compared to the full-time MBA
Roman: Hey all, Im currently a Day Trader in the Chicago area, so the evening MBA program really appeals to me. My question is more philosophical I guess...is it still worth the time/effort/money to persue and MBA if I don't really want to make a career change but want the experience and credentials that comes with a Booth MBA
Beck: What is the main advantage of the Chicago Booth MBA compared to the Kellogg program at the NW?
n/a: One of the questions on the application form is "To which other graduate business schools are you applying?" why is Booth interested in this information and does it influence the decision to accept an applicant? Thanks in advance.
mscherer1124: Is there a precedent for part-time students participating in the Venture Capital Investment Competition, the Sterling Partners Investment Thesis competition, or the New Venture Challenge? It looks like these are geared towards the full-time students. Thanks! - Mike Scherer
VB: It appears that your class is geared towards professionals early in their career. Will your course enhance the skill sets of individuals who are experienced and possess the skills of leadership, critical thinking, etc. how does your executive MBA differ from your evening program in this regard?
This is the time to start an application for Chicago Booth if you have not already. If would like to be a part of the 2013 Weekend MBA Program, we look forward to receiving your application by May 10th.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Art of Yoga Project, Palo Alto, CA, USA
I have been blessed to teach with the Art of Yoga project for over three years. Every single day has been an inspiration - not just because I am bringing yoga, a practice that has helped me so much, into juvenile detention; not just because every time I have done so, I have walked away inspired and awed by the girls I met there, their strength, the resilience of their hearts; but because in working with AYP I have always felt part of an organization unlike any other: a group of wonderful, caring, inspiring, mindful, compassionate leaders who work hard to empower others. AYP has challenged me to grow.

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Saatchi 'attacking Lawson by trial'
Multi-millionaire Charles Saatchi has been accused of using the trial of his two former personal assistants to attack his ex-wife Nigella Lawson.
Francesca Grillo, 35, and her sister Elisabetta, 41, are alleged to have spent £685,000 on credit cards belonging to the TV cook and her art dealer ex-husband, who were divorced in July.
Anthony Metzer QC, defence counsel for Elisabetta, said she'd been caught up in the "cross-fire" between the former couple.
He asked the jury at Isleworth Crown Court, west London: "Could it be Mr Saatchi was using this as a way to attack Ms Lawson by proxy? By turning on one of her most trusted and loved people?" He added: "As his relationship with Ms Lawson started to unravel and he lost control of her, he looked for a place to put his hurt and anger. The extravagant way Ms Lawson kept her family in his money was now a legitimate place for him to exert his feelings."
Mr Metzer asked why Saatchi didn't carry out a full investigation into all of his staff after the fraud allegations came to light. "He knew Lisa (Elisabetta) was a soft underbelly for attacking Ms Lawson," he said.
The sisters have told the court they saw evidence that Nigella used drugs on a regular basis. Francesca said she would "frequently" find rolled-up banknotes with white powder on them in handbags belonging to the food writer. In her evidence, Nigella said she wasn't a regular drug user. She said she used cocaine on only one occasion following the death of her first husband John Diamond, and also that she had taken it on a small number of occasions with him.
Mr Metzer asked if that was "credible", given the addictive nature of drugs. He claimed the chef "carefully honed" her evidence and gave a "rehearsed speech". He said: "In reality, what choice did she have? She faced compelling evidence from many sources of sustained drug use over the past 10 years."
He said there was evidence that the drug use was a "guilty secret" that had been kept from Saatchi and it was a "central plank" of the defence case. This is because Nigella was meant to take responsibility for spending on the credit cards and had failed to do so, or had given authorisation while under the influence of drugs, the court heard.
The Grillos, of Kensington Gardens Square, Bayswater, west London, each deny a single count of committing fraud by using a company credit card for personal gain between January 1 2008 and December 31 last year.
Elisabetta was a "confidante" of Nigella, and she and her younger sister were the only people at her and Saatchi's wedding, the court heard.
Mr Metzer said: "Would Lisa really return the love, kindness and closeness that she has felt for this family after 14 years by stealing from them in such an open and outlandish manner? Do you think Lisa has the sophistication and bottle to deceive Ms Lawson and Mr Saatchi, of whom she was so scared, for years, knowing that the expenditure would be scrutinised?"
Mr Metzer also said : "Ms Lawson spoke of herself as someone who was subject to 'intimate terrorism'. She has lived in fear of the man who inflicted this upon her. You may think that she is likely, for these reasons, to make poor decisions out of the apparent need to protect herself... with the result that my client has been outcast despite her repeated efforts to re- establish contact."
Members of the jury were asked to disregard any pre-existing personal opinions they had about Nigella, and to treat her evidence in the same way as anyone else.
Drawing on references made by Mr Metzer earlier about Prime Minister David Cameron's "ill- timed" comment in support of the television chef in a recent interview with Spectator magazine, Karina Arden, defending Francesca, said: "This is not a question for you to say 'I like Ms Lawson, I like her cooking programmes, she really does please me, and Mr Cameron is on her side and her evidence is probably preferable to the defendants.' That's not the way you must proceed."
Ms Arden repeated Nigella's evidence of admitting drug use, and said the jury must consider her credibility as a witness against the Grillos.
She said: "People are charged and tried every day of the week in courts for doing that (taking drugs). She (Nigella) has gone into the witness box and has admitted doing that. It matters not, you may think, to that extent. Look at her evidence the same way you would someone, dare I say, living on an estate. You must not elevate her to a lesser degree of questioning her credibility on things because she is a famous person."
Judge Robin Johnson addressed the issue of Nigella's drug-taking, as alleged when her former husband sent her an email referring to her being "off her head" and calling her "Higella". He added: "Were it the case she was 'off her head' and allowed expenditure as a result, it would clearly be of relevance." However he said Saatchi had claimed it was a "nasty" statement he made, and that no-one said they had seen Nigella in such a state, or authorising payments in that state.
The judge advised the jury to decide on the extent of the drug taking, bearing in mind what the cook and others had said about it. He said: "You should then consider if there is any weight to the argument that the defence made, that Nigella Lawson gave permission for this expenditure because she was worried about being shopped or exposed about this drug taking, either to Mr Saatchi or to the authorities."
The case was adjourned for the day.

Frankie Garcia –
For my own money if I were going to buy a 450 machine strictly for off-road riding and racing I would definitely go with the Kawasaki. The KXF worked phenomenal in all categories. The engine is wicked fast and has major power all the way through the powerband from bottom to top end. The suspension on the Kawasaki was a step above the other bikes and the ergonomics were spot on for my liking. Another big reason why I would buy a Kawasaki for off road riding is because of the number off road parts and accessories that are offered for the bike.
Jamie Beckett –
I actually had a rough time picking my absolute favorite bike, especially when they were all free for me to ride. Any free bike is a good bike. I felt like there were things on each one I would want to tweak a little to fit me, accommodate my riding style, and to work better in one of the terrains. But, when you ask me to put my hard-earned dollar on the line, the cream rose to the top. I chose the KX as the bike I would buy for my money. First of all, the Kawi looks great. It worked great in the sand at Glamis and the motor was exceptional.
Jamie Beckett –
Brian Steeves –
Ahh yes… after all the grains of sand are wiped from our eyes, we again sit down, monkey butt in tow and formulate for the money, our money, which bike would we ask to be our bride from this day forth 'til death do us part. Well for this dude I must say it is no shocker here- The lean mean Green Machine (Ralph Shaheen voice). Handling- CHECK! Powerplant- CHECK! Dependability- I HOPE!
Ken Hutchison –
I would buy the KTM because it has an awesome engine that seems well suited to all types of off-road riding from fast desert to slow technical terrain. I also think it is the best looking bike of the bunch and that always helps seal a deal.
Then, add into the mix that this bad-boy is electric start and it makes it an easy choice for the off-road weapon I would select from this group.
Adam Waheed –
After riding the bikes on the motocross track and off-road I never knew that there would be such a big difference between each machine based on theater of operations. At Glamis, hands down the bike to have is the KX450F, as it has the most amount of engine power which is absolutely key there. I also really like the Suzuki as it has strong but slightly softer power. It handles just as good in the sand as it does in the dirt. But for the one do-it-all off-road bike I'd buy the KTM. Sure, it was undersprung for the dunes, but the suspension worked perfect at Ocotillo. Plus I really like the way the bike feels underneath me and the quality of the controls. The electric start is also a total lifesaver and takes some of the embarrassment away from tip overs as the motor fires to life immediately while your buddy is huffing and puffing trying to kick over his bike. Some might think that since it doesn't have fuel injection that it might be run finicky, but the stock jetting was spot-on everywhere in Southern California.
Justin Dawes –
For me the choice was easy and quick. After the first five minutes on the 2012 Kawasaki KX450F I was hooked. I tried my best to give the others a fair shake as my choice of personal ride, but each time I whacked the throttle open on the KX there was no question what it would be for me. Throw in a nice and roomy cockpit and solid high-speed handling and you've got my perfect off-road mount.

Tips for Landing a Federal JobView this article online at https://www.fedsmith.com/2011/01/10/tips-landing-federal-job/ and visit FedSmith.com to sign up for free news updates
Kristin Andersen
As a Certified Federal Career Coach and Resume Writer, I regularly speak with individuals (primarily first-time federal job seekers) who are interested and determined to secure job with the federal government. Who can blame them?
A government career brings with it outstanding benefits and unlimited promotional potential, not to mention that federal employees earn higher average salaries than private-sector workers in more than eight out of 10 occupations (as determined by a USA TODAY analysis). So what's problem?
Well, to be frank, securing a government job can be a job itself.
Reading and analyzing job announcements, determining the specialized experience requirements, preparing a federal style resume and responding to those ever dreaded KSAs can be a nightmare. The Federal Hiring Reform has promised to streamline the federal hiring/application process and make it somewhat easier to secure a government job. To date, I see little progress. With that said, for those of you who are interested in federal employment be prepared for a lengthy and highly competitive journey.
As mentioned earlier, a government job is pretty much on just about everyone's wish list.
Unfortunately, this means that majority of there positions are flooded with applicants. It is very important that you narrow down your job search as much as possible.
Find one job announcement to target and tailor your resume for that specific job. The resume review process is usually initially done electronically. It is also heavily influenced by "keywords" in the resume. These keywords are taken directly from the job announcement and matched up to the content in your resume. If your resume has enough of these "keywords" or "buzzwords," it will then make it through into the hands of an actual human, the Hiring Official, for further consideration.
A federal resume differs from a private sector resume in many ways. Not only is it "keyword oriented" but it is also substantially longer and contains a lot of additional information one would not include in their private resume. Crafting a strong keyword-laiden resume is crucial to a strong application package, not a task that can be done overnight.
Once you have created your resume, analyze the job announcement to determine if there are any KSA requirements. I've found that about 70% of the time you will have an announcement that will require you to respond to KSAs (knowledge, skills and abilities) in some shape or form. Typically, if these are required, you will find them (usually numbered 1-however many the agency is looking for) in the Qualifications and Evaluations portion of the job announcement.
Here is an example:
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES: Applicants must possess training and experience that clearly demonstrate they possess the following knowledge, skills, and abilities. This training or experience must be reflected by descriptions of your experience in your resume or OF-612.
2. Describe your knowledge of office support functions such as communications, budget, procurement of administrative supplies and equipment, printing, reproduction, property management, records management, mail service, facilities and equipment maintenance, and transportation.
3. Demonstrated experience in applying Federal regulations to administrative functions, oversight and management of purchasing operations, monitoring and oversight of budget and financial programs, and oversight of the integrity of information in organizational databases.
4. Demonstrated proficiency in the use of data systems. Provide a description of your experience in using complex organizational database systems and Microsoft Office Suite of applications (Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and Power Point).
For each KSA, I recommend preparing a narrative response (typically about 1 page in length) describing a time in your work experience or education when you were required to use that knowledge or skill. Be sure to give very specific examples!
What makes for a strong KSA response is to not only discuss a time when you utilized that skill but a time when you used that skill to overcome an obstacle on the job. Go ahead and list the results, what was accomplished because you used those skills. This is exactly what the Hiring Officials like to see. This will clearly demonstrate how you will not only be an asset to the agency, but how you will be able to directly contribute to their mission.
Now that you have your federal style resume and your KSAs prepared, it's time to tackle those online application portals. Each agency is different and will collect your resume in a different way. Some will allow you to use the USAJOBS resume builder to submit your application materials while others will use a different portal (AVUE Central, Resumix, CHART, etc.) all together.
There are even some announcements that you will run across that will ask to see a hardcopies either faxed or mailed in. It is certainly a mixed bag and something that you want to prepare yourself for. I recommend doing some research a few days prior to applying. Make sure you have all the required documents the agency is looking for and see for yourself how the agency would like you to submit your application package.
Once you've applied, it is pretty much a waiting game. Some announcements under the "What to Expect Next" portion of the job announcement will give you a "guesstimate" of how long they anticipate the review process to take. The wait time can actually be 2 weeks to 6 months.
The federal application process sure is a daunting one! But by preparing a strategic, hard-hitting, keyword focused resume and top-notch KSAs you certainly stand a chance at getting noticed by the right people. Your application package shouldn't be rushed, after all you will most likely spend a few weeks awaiting a response, you might as well make it worthwhile.

Area state lawmakers tout repeal of 'Ropes Law'--unfunded state mandate that forces rural, small fire departments to purchase unneeded equipment
Albany, N.Y.— State Senator Tom O'Mara (R,C-Big Flats), Assemblyman Chris Friend (R-Big Flats) and Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C-Corning) have voted in favor of legislation, given final legislative approval, to eliminate the state's one-size-fits-all "Ropes Law" for firefighter safety and allow local fire departments more flexibility to choose equipment that best meets the needs and conditions of their communities.
The so-called "Ropes Law" stemmed from a January 2005 tragedy in New York City where two firefighters were killed and four others badly injured when they were forced to jump from a fourth-floor window of a burning building in the Bronx. That day, known as "Black Sunday," also saw a third firefighter die while fighting a basement fire in Brooklyn and then another die in a different location in the Bronx. A subsequent internal Fire Department of New York (FDNY) report uncovered a failure to provide escape ropes, update operational procedures and adequate training.
The resulting law, commonly called the "Ropes Law," has since been interpreted by the state to require local departments statewide to provide specific, expensive safety equipment suited for high-rise emergency bailouts statewide. It has applied the high-rise rules to rural and suburban departments where the tallest buildings could be a barn or two-story house.
"The 'Ropes Rule' was well-intentioned but it was the product of an out-of-touch Albany bureaucracy that left taxpayers footing the bill for unnecessarily expensive purchases of equipment that goes unused in many rural areas and smaller localities upstate," O'Mara, Friend and Palmesano said in a statement. "This legislation will give our local fire chiefs the flexibility they should have to make safety equipment decisions based on what works best in their rural and small town departments. It eliminates an unfunded mandate, is more cost-effective for taxpayers and still, most importantly, ensures the safety of local firefighters."
Under the new legislation (S.7677/A.10677), fire departments would still need to be properly equipped to handle emergency escapes, but local chiefs could choose from a range of nationally recognized safety systems instead of being required to purchase, at exorbitant expense, a single type that may not even be effective for their firefighters.
The legislation now goes to Governor Andrew Cuomo to be signed into law.

APPLETON - The public got its first look at plans for a new library in Appleton Monday night.
Its expected to cost an estimated $42 Million.
They were unveiled at the city's library board meeting.
The new site sits on the bluffs downtown overlooking the river.
The library's director Colleen Rortvedt says the plans for the building allow the incorporation of Appleton's history as well as room for possible future expansion.
"The library board has the authority over the mission, vision and services of the library but there's a whole other entity that holds the purse strings," Rortvedt said.
"So while some of these things seem like the end and we must be done with the process, we're not."
The library board will need to vote on the plans.
It's scheduled to happen in September.
From there, the city council would need to approve the plans before anything goes forward.

Felicita's Videos
Felicita learned the hard way that smoking can destroy your smile. She lost all her teeth over the course of six painful surgeries. In these commercials and extended videos, Felicita tells her story.
Felicita's Story
Felicita started smoking at age 12. By the time she was 40, Felicita had developed gum disease and had loose teeth—but like many people, she did not have a lot of pain as the gum disease got worse. In this video, Felicita talks about getting life—changing news from her dentist.
Felicita and Brett's Ad
Felicita started smoking at age 12 and Brett at age 16. Neither of them knew that smoking could harm their gums and teeth. In this bilingual TV ad, Brett and Felicita advise people not to smoke if they want to keep their teeth and their smiles.

Cloud risks: Technology use tests the attorney-client privilege
Maintaining attorney-client privilege has become increasingly complicated with the rise in cloud computing, social media and the use of mobile devices, according to panelists at an American Bar Association Midyear Meeting session Feb. 3 on "Attorney-Client Privilege and ESI: How to Maintain Privilege 'In the Cloud.'"
While the technologies offer new ways for lawyers and their clients to communicate, they also pose unique problems for preserving confidentiality.
"The way that we communicate is changing, but the privilege rules are the same as they have always been." said John D. Rue
"The way that we communicate is changing, but the privilege rules are the same as they have always been." said John D. Rue, an attorney at White & Case in New York and co-chair of the e-discovery subcommittee within the Section of Litigation.
Case law within the last few years has established that privilege is not lost simply because communication is sent via cloud-based email. In Stengart v. Loving Care Agency, an employee discussed with her lawyer a possible lawsuit against her employer, using a cloud-based email account. Even though the employee used a work computer and the company had a policy that stated that employees have no expectation of privacy on work computers, the New Jersey Supreme Court held that the attorney-client privilege protected that communication.
The court explained that the employee had taken measures to protect the communication's confidentiality through her use of a password-protected email account, and that the personal use section of the company's computer policy was ambiguous, giving the employee a reasonable expectation of privacy.
However—"There are a lot of cases that go in the other direction," said Carla Walworth, partner at Paul Hastings.
For instance, in a similar case involving an employee's use of a work computer, Holmes v. Petrovich Development Co., the California Court of Appeal found that the employee's communication with her lawyer was not privileged.
Again, the court considered the employee's reasonable expectation of privacy. However, unlike the situation in Stengart, the employee did not use a personal email account and was under a policy that expressly stated that emails from work accounts would be sometimes monitored.
"So if you're representing plaintiffs, right up front, you should talk about where and how you're going to communicate," advised Walworth, noting how password protection and use of personal accounts can make a difference.
Use of social media to communicate with lawyers also has implications on privilege. Recent decisions underscore that communications on social sites are not privileged because posts are made in a public forum.
In McMillen v. Hummingbird Speedway, a Pennsylvania court held that nothing posted on social networking websites MySpace or Facebook could reasonably be considered confidential.
"[The case] holds that Facebook materials are discoverable, not only because the privacy settings permit forwarding and access by others, but also because Facebook itself has access to the materials," Walworth said. "If that's the rule, then nothing is privileged. It's worth looking at [McMillen] to see what the issues are."
The line between privileged and non-privileged communication is somewhat more complicated to determine when clients and their lawyers communicate via smartphones and other mobile devices.
In Ngai v. Old Navy, a lawyer and client were texting during a deposition. The court ruled that the text messages during the depositions were not privileged. The reason had nothing to do with the parties' use of SMS technology. Rather, it was the time that the exchange took place.According to the court, "once a deposition begins, the right to counsel is somewhat tempered by the underlying goal of our discovery rules: getting to the truth."
"People have had these scenarios, where they're having administrative hearings over the telephone and they're emailing their client simultaneously or communicating simultaneously behind the scenes, which is sort of a third-party communication," said Patricia Eastwood, of Caterpillar Financial Services, emphasizing the need for more awareness when communicating. "We don't even think about how we're communicating anymore and we're creating documents and it has all kinds of implications."
"Attorney-Client Privilege and ESI: How to Maintain Privilege 'In the Cloud'" was sponsored by the Young Lawyers Division.

ABOUT WATER SYSTEMS Water Without Borders installs water systems that best meet the needs of the community.
BioSand Water Filters are a technological adaptation of the centuries old slow sand filtration process. While implementations exist in many different sizes and varieties, the most common design is intended for use in rural homes where naturally safe or treated water sources are not available.
BioSand Filters remove 95.0 to 99.0% of organic contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, worms, and particles. Safe water produced by the filters is free of discoloration, odor, and unpleasant taste, and can be used for drinking, food preparation, personal hygiene, and sanitation. Most common home-based models can produce between 20 and 60 litres of water per hour.
Osmosis (RO) is a filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying
pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. The result is that the solute is retained on
solventis allowed to pass to the other side. To be "selective," this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions
pores(holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely.
Reverse osmosis is most commonly known for its use in drinking water purification from seawater, removing the salt and
other substances from the water molecules. This is the reverse of the normal osmosis process, in which the solvent
naturally moves from an area of low solute concentration, through a membrane, to an area of high solute concentration.
The movement of a pure solvent to equalize solute concentrations on each side of a membrane generates a pressure
and this is the "osmotic pressure." Applying an external pressure to reverse the natural flow of pure solvent, thus, is
reverse osmosis.
The process is similar to membrane filtration. However, there are key differences between reverse osmosis and filtration.
The predominant removal mechanism in membrane filtration is straining, or size exclusion, so the process can theoretically
achieve perfect exclusion of particles regardless of operational parameters such as influent pressure and concentration.
Reverse osmosis, however involves a diffusive mechanism so that separation efficiency is dependent on solute
concentration, pressure and water flux rate. Read about one of the reverse osmosis water systems we install.

A fantastic review and that album cover is brilliant
Album Rating: 4.0cool to see these guys get a little love. have yet to hear this one, but The Latter Rain and Mantra (sans Wayakin) are excellent
Digging: Big K.R.I.T. - 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time
Hmmm. I need to check this out. This is a really solid review.
band is hit or miss for me but this is pretty sweet
Digging: 21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin - Without Warning
nice review ins.
just one small error i noticed...
"it's possibly the heaviest song on the album with an infectious choruses that sounds like something out of Souls at Zero-era Neurosis"
chorus not choruses
Digging: Langhorne Slim - Lost At Last, Vol 1
Album Rating: 4.0Sick, had no idea these guys had one coming out until reading this review, nice job on it, grabbing this now.
This is doing nothing for me, no surprise. Gonna go listen to some crush of new Batillus.
Bet this is gonna be mediocre
Digging: Dyscarnate - With All Their Might
I thought the same after In Mourning released their bland Kraken album (dunno why, but I see both of these bands in parallel) but this album is damn good.
Digging: Beastmilk - Climax
Album Rating: 4.0^ I get that to. Strange eh?
And The Weight of Oceans was far, far from bland.
I liked their previous albums a lot, but wasn't even fazed by that new one.
yeah i dig this a lot. To the Core is gr8
Am I the only one who dug Wayakin?
Digging: Summoning - With Doom We Come
in mourning will never top shrouded divine
I actually preferred Monolith over that one
Obvious play on AEnima?
Album Rating: 4.1bloc being weird again itt.
Shrouded Divine > The Weight of Oceans > Monolith.
Get it right ;)
Album Rating: 4.0yea Shrouded Divine is the bestest
this album is cool, the last track is my fav
Album Rating: 4.0Good review but I literally have no clue where you got the idea TLR had bad production. It has superb production - the drum sound, the thick guitars, the vocal channeling, etc. Mantra had poorer production as it sounded drab and far less punchy. Maybe this is is subjective but it always struck me (and a few others) as obvious Mantra's production was a let-down after TLR - this is reflective of the songwriting quality of both as well.
this isn't bad

This is a do or die fight for both men. Sicilia is coming off back-to-back stumbles, while Pepey is 1-2 in the Octagon including an opening round knockout loss in his last effort. Sicilia loves to wing wild shots, so Pepey needs to be smart if he wants to win. That means getting up close, clinching, and trying to sap Sicilia of some of his steam. Ultimately he needs to get Sicilia to the mat to win, as a stand-up battle favors the TUF 15 alumnus, and should be able to do just that if he can survive the first frame. / PREDICTION: Godofredo Pepey def. Sam Sicilia via Unanimous Decision
The UFC is back in Brazil this weekend with action sure to please those in attendance and tuning in from home. UFC Fight Night 32 is headlined by a light heavyweight bout between seasoned veterans Vitor Belfort–Dan Henderson with plenty of other pairings worth watching on tap as well. Though the preliminary portion of the event isn't the organization's strongest in recent memory, plenty of potential-laden up-and-comers are on tap who could end up stealing the show.

RALEIGH, NC (AP) — Some North Carolina legislators want to make public access to government records, documents and meetings part of the state constitution.
The bill introduced Thursday by Republican Rep. Stephen LaRoque of Lenoir County would allow voters to decide whether to enshrine current open-records laws in the constitution. Voters could decide in November 2012 if the measure is approved by the General Assembly.
Republican Sen. Debbie Clary of Cleveland County is introducing the same bill next week. She says taxpayers have a right to know about what's happening inside their government.
The proposed constitutional amendment would say that every person has the right to inspect or copy any record connected to the official business of any public body or official.

Earth and Sky!: Pokemon Battle Royale! [T]

Playing pranks on Ash ^^
Tsuki no megami
The next day, Tsuki woke up and looked out of her window. A large amount of trainers were gathering outside. "Now what is THIS all about?" She got dressed, put on her necklace, grabbed her pokeballs, and went outside.
Tsuki soon found out what this was about. An old man was standing on a soap box. "Old men speak, old men talk like mad." The aura girl walked over and listened when he said:
"For the trainers who have come to this years tournament; the Earth and Sky: Battle Royale, I will now address you with the rules and warnings!... Rule one, do not conduct your survival battles in this town for any purpose. Those caught fighting will be disqualified from Earth and Sky for life and their badge components will be distributed amongst other trainers at random all over the world. For those leaving Lethia to conduct survival battles in jhoto, unova, where ever you go, this rule applies to every town out there in those regions as well. We have agents and eyes where we need them, so don't think you won't get caught... Rule two, you will not kill another trainer and his or her Pokemon for the sake of obtaining the completion of your badge, the current elites are watching this island for such behavior and dispose of any culprit who attempts to do so to the authorities... Rule three, attempting to steal badge pieces from your opponents is not entirely acceptable, we will not stop you from such thefts, but be aware that you will not grow from the experience. This league is setup for survival and to become stronger while attempting to fight for the one wish to be granted, if you do not fight for your badges; then you will not survive your first rounds when you arrive to the finals... Rule four is to survive out there anyway possible. Lethia is filled with pokemon who are very territorial, so proceed lightly at risk. If you lack knowledge of what to eat or what to find, the poke mart here sells survival guide books based on Lethia. That book is also the only item the vendors should give to you freely if you visit them... Last minute notes before you leave out into the world. Your cellphones, pokegears, radios and other devices are usable out here until 8 o' clock when the radio tower closes down for the night, if you have family you want to call or want the time to relax, do it before then. GPS systems are useless here in Lethia, the mountain environment in the region are magnetized to throw those machines signals to satellites off course so you will need a physical map which you can get from me or the mart here in town. The only reason your radios and other machines will work is because of the radio tower here that connects to the world out there, so don't monkey around when using anything that deals with the tower... Finally, your league badge is composed of 15 components. If you lose all your pieces, you can buy more from the vendors or you can leave the tournament and re-enter next year. If you can't handle the pressure, sell or give your components to another trainer. If you have human friends in the tournament, join up with them in an alliance or team if able, the more of you together, the better chances you have to live, just be aware that when you make it to the final rounds that you will be fighting one another. Don't let that fight break you apart, for that they may be the only people you hold dear to yourself along with your pokemon, stay strong together if you can. My final words are that I pray for your safety and that each of you may make it to the finals alive. Your league badges will point the way to the finals as soon as you complete them."
Then, Tsuki watched as the old man pulled out some pieces of paper and added "If you have plans to go to the finals in the spring, I have forms to sign up for that conference. When you complete your badge, just show up at the location it gives you when the season ends. Ill promote Summer forms at the end of spring and Fall forms at the end of summer! Remember the tournament ends on the first day of winter, so good luck and GOOD HUNTING!"
Tsuki smiled, and ran up with some other trainers. "Eh, girl. Yeh wanna take part in the spring conference?" She nodded and smiled. The old man nodded, then handed her a paper. "Just sign in all of them areas on this paper, and yer good ta go!" Tsuki thanked him, then started filling in the paper right away.
Once done, she handed it back. "Yer in, girl! Good luck!" Tsuki beamed. Then, she ran off out of the crowd of trainers, and when she was sure nobody saw her, Tsuki sent out Suta and flew away.
Eggy click, pwease!
The girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for our country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. Copy and paste this into your sig if you think bullying is wrong. You never know what it's like until you walk a mile in their shoes. -

Aquilani steps up training, debut in the offing
Liverpool's £20 million summer signing Alberto Aquilani could make his long-awaited debut for the Anfield club before the end of October.
The Italian midfielder, signed as replacement for Xabi Alonso, who joined Real Madrid for £30 million in August, has stepped up his training as he recovers from a knee operation and may get a short run-out for the reserves against Sunderland next Wednesday as part of his rehabilitation.
The 25-year-old started ball work with the first-team squad last week and Liverpool's Carling Cup tie at Arsenal on October 28 has been pencilled in as a possible debut.
Aquilani said: "When I am back, I hope I will show I am a player who can pass the ball well, get forward and score goals. I have not played football for a long time, so I know it will not be easy to produce my best straightaway. But I will be trying to do that.
"When you are not involved with the team, it is not a good feeling. But it is my ambition to score at the Kop end. I have thought about that a lot during my rehab period."
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez signed Aquilani knowing he would not be able to play for a minimum of three months. The Italian international's last competitive game was back in March, for Roma, against Arsenal in the Champions League.

DEEDS (formerly DIRTY DEEDS) bassist Tony Newton, who has recently relocated to Los Angeles, California from his native England, has posted the following update via the group's official web site:"The Japanese release date [for our third full-length album, entitled Blown] is August 28th. We will be touring there just before this to promote the album. No definite date for UK release yet but it will be around this time. This time I want to make sure everything is done as right as possible. I know the rock scene is difficult now, [and] that's why things have to be done right. "I read on the Bulletin Board that there was concern that I am the only band member [who has relocated to Los Angeles]. Well, it will in fact make things easier because this is where everything happens. We will have more chance of getting on a good Euro support tour from this end. After all what UK bands are there for us to tour with? Plus I can work the US for us and get the rest of the band out to tour here. We have already had offers for tours here but they weren't right for us with glam bands!!" No US release date has yet been announced for Blown, which was produced by IRON MAIDEN bassist/mainman Steve Harris.

Latin American countries used to be notorious for having dictators who ruthlessly repressed their own people, used death squads and torture indiscriminately, and demanded and received immunity for their acts. The rest of the world looked down at them for their lawlessness. Almost all of those dictators were strongly supported by the US.
But things are different now. In this interview, Peter Kornbluh of the National Security Archive, talks about the changes, how those countries are opening up the dark past and revealing the details of the abuses. One country Uruguay has even revoked the amnesty that was once granted to the perpetrators and says that it will treat all the abuses as crimes against humanity.
The vaults of the CIA, FBI, National Security Council, and the State Department contain documentation that would, if released, prove invaluable in tracking down and prosecuting those criminals. But since the US is fully engaged in the same kinds of lawless practices, such as torture, murder, and self-immunity that those countries used to indulge in, it is unlikely that they will release the documents.
While the Latin American countries are trying to write their past wrongs, many of their past excesses can be seen in current practices in the US, such as the use of paramilitary tactics on the Occupy Wall Street protestors. When you see police in riot gear with batons and gases strong-arming unarmed protestors, irrespective of age or whether they are even resisting, it is eerily reminiscent of what used to be commonplace on the streets of Buenos Aires or Montevideo. We do not have (as far as I know) death squads acting within the US killing off the enemies of the government, though they do act overseas with drones being the weapon of choice.

Court Allows 401(k) Participants to Bring a Class Action Alleging Imprudent Selection of Investment Options
In Abbott v. Lockheed Corp., a federal appeals court agreed with AARP that a group of participants in Lockheed Martin's 401(k) plans challenging plan investments could proceed as a class action.
In 2006, five employees who participated in two of Lockheed Martin's 401(k) plans brought suit on behalf of a proposed class of similarly situated employees, alleging that plan fiduciaries breached their duties with respect to plan investments when they offered imprudent investment options in violation of the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the main law overseeing employee benefits..
The federal district court held that the proposed class description for the prudence claim was not sufficiently focused to allow the claims to be litigated as a class action. The participants appealed denial of the class certification.
Reversing the district court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit found that the proposed class definition was narrowly drawn so as to exclude any participants who may have benefited from Lockheed Martin's alleged imprudent management. The Seventh Circuit explained that, while all class definitions "allude to the merits," they are nevertheless only "a tool of case management," noting that "a decision on a class definition should not, in principle, influence the merits of the case."
AARP's friend-of-the-court brief was filed by AARP Foundation Litigation attorneys, and focused on three areas. First, the brief included data measuring the amount of money currently held in 401(k) plans, as well as its importance to individuals' retirement income. The second area suggested to the court that it should adopt an interpretation of its past decisions that takes a balanced approach to class certification requirements so that participants can bring ERISA actions to vindicate their rights. Third, the brief discussed the Department of Labor's lack of resources to oversee the $3.5 trillion in 401(k) plan assets.
What's At Stake
Class actions are an important way to change corporate wide practices in a single procedure. For people whose individual claims may be relatively small – but which may aggregate to massive ill-gotten gains – it can often be the only way to vindicate rights. Class actions are important for vindicating the rights of older people when litigating their rights under ERISA because they may be the only way to justify the time and expense and attract the expertise needed to prove the often complicated claims that are brought.
Case Status
Abbott v. Lockheed Corp. was decided by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

The month-long closure of a second-hand store has created a mess on Thunder Bay's south side and is posing a problem for local charities.
Volunteer Linda Gail Bruins said she and others collected 30 bags of garbage, plus mattresses and couches just this week.
The group volunteers at the Thunder Bay Food Bank, located next to a south-side thrift store that's closed for summer vacation.
"I think what we have to do is make people aware that if you take the stuff down to donate it — and there's nobody there — and you leave it in the yard, you may as well just throw it in the dump," she said.
"It's costing charities a lot of money to keep trucking it back and forth to the dump. And I'm sure the people who have put stuff out there have really good intentions. There was some nice stuff there. But, once it was rained on, it was trash."
Frequent trips to the landfill
The problem isn't unique to one charity.
Janet Madsea lists off just a couple of the items drivers with the Diabetes Clothesline pickup and then bring to the landfill on a regular basis, including "unwanted furniture, broken furniture."
The operations manager said the charity has 27 bins around the city to collect clothes and soft items like towels and shoes.
Madsea said some days, the charity has to keep going back to the same location to pick up garbage.
"The landlord will call us and we have to go there — maybe three or four times — due to the dumping. We're also going to the landfill and it does cost the association money to clean out the drop boxes and the surrounding areas," she said.
Both women concur it's everybody's responsibility to try and keep areas that take donations clean. Madsea recommends people call 623-0887 instead of leaving items at bins, or visit the Diabetes Clothesline website.
