Scott Segalewitz knows only a few words in Mandarin, but he's taken one to heart — "guanxi."
Loosely translated, guanxi means connections. "In China, it's all about relationships," says Segalewitz, professor and former chair of UD's engineering technology program.
In 2006, Segalewitz helped start what's become the University of Dayton's longest-running partnership in China, one that set the stage for the University's growing footprint in a country on the economic rise across the globe.
A select number of engineering students at Shanghai Normal University, which enrolls triple the number of full-time students as the University of Dayton, study for three years at the Fengxian campus that sits on the edge of a picturesque lake. For their final year, they transfer to UD's largely residential campus in the heart of the American Midwest.
Many have never stepped foot on American soil before, and they're not used to living in a city that's a sliver of the size of Shanghai. They take intensive courses in communication and English composition in the summer before starting classes in the fall in either electronic or manufacturing technology.
At the end of their year, they earn diplomas from Shanghai Normal and the University of Dayton — and a greater shot at the top engineering jobs in their own country, where many now work for multinational companies like Mitsubishi and Exxon.
That's what inspired Yongxu Shen, who's adopted the American name "Cecilia," to trade life in arguably one of the fastest-developing cities in the world for a year on a Catholic campus that prides itself as much for its welcoming atmosphere as for its engineering school's reputation.
"I'm a little nervous," Cecilia concedes during Segalewitz's orientation class in early August. "I've never been outside China, but I want to improve my knowledge of the language. I want the experience."
Classmate Wei "Harry" Zhang says he's impressed with the engineering labs. "We took a tour, and they're more modern. I want to learn more about American technology."
On this humid summer day, just three weeks before thousands of University of Dayton students move back to campus, 20 students listen intently to Segalewitz as he talks about the importance of professional ethics. But first, he gives them a little fatherly advice.
"I always tell my students that if you're doing something your mother wouldn't approve, it's probably not right," he says to start off his midday class. "We need to treat people fairly. It doesn't matter where we come from. Ethics is about doing what is right."
Segalewitz launches into an animated lecture that ranges from amusing stories about the Pirate Code of Conduct to candid observations of unethical behavior of athletes at the London Olympics to a more serious viewing of a video showing one of the greatest engineering disasters of all time — the July 17, 1981, collapse of a suspended skywalk at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City.
Segalewitz had no experience teaching a roomful of international students before UD launched the joint degree program, but he's developed a comfort level and a rapport with the students, many of whom he taught in China during a faculty exchange. "Their conversational English is very good, but their technical English tends to be what we stress," he notes. "We go over to China to teach to give them an ear for the technical language."
While not all professors travel to other countries to teach, many have students from abroad in their classes. That's why Segalewitz gave his faculty a 593-page cultural handbook, Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands: The Bestselling Guide to Doing Business in More Than 60 Countries.
Now that Segalewitz has stepped down as chair of the engineering technology department, he's turning his attention to teaching and helping Phil Doepker '67, professor emeritus of mechanical engineering, coordinate industrial and technical relations at the newly opened University of Dayton China Institute. They're working closely with multinational companies in Suzhou Industrial Park to develop research projects and courses.
"Engineering doesn't just happen in Dayton, Ohio," he says. "It's a worldwide profession. The more experience we give our students — international and American — the more marketable they'll be."
Xujun "Daniel" Peng agrees: "This year will change my life."

Daimon M.wrote a review of Swix Cross Glove - Men's on January 9, 2011
Great glove
I got these as a replacement for some similar gloves that I lost. I really missed my gloves and am glad to have similar ones again. Like the other review says, they are not great multipurpose gloves, but are amazing when skiing. They keep your hands quite warm when I am skiing. If you like x-c skiing these are a must, they will change your skiing experience!

It's interesting to consider Grant has won seven of his eight fights by way of submission but been tapped out in both of his losses. Clearly he has a good ground game but a lot of room for improvement on the mat as well even though BJJ has been the Brit's bread and butter thus far in his career. On that note, pitting him against a striker is an intriguing prospect since it would give him a chance to shine as well as show off his stand-up (which didn't look bad per se). Some names worth considering for his next opponent are Johnny Bedford or George Roop based on recent losses and overall ability.
Another TUF Finale is in the books, giving up-and-coming talent from the recent season an opportunity to shine on the sport's biggest stage as well as a chance for more established veterans to prove their place on the roster is well-deserved. Ten athletes exited the Octagon last night with heads hung low after suffering a defeat, though not all of the stumbles were devastating or particularly notable for that matter. However, in the case of some of the Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale competitors, coming up short will have a definite impact on their immediate futures… (Photos by USA Today Sports Images)

Explosive Bonding Bimetallic Welding Aluminum Clad Metal Plate
What Are The Features of Our Cladding Bimetallic Plate?
Explosive welding block, also known as bi-metal, bimetallic, clad, electrical transition joint, is widely used in elecrtolytic aluminum industry and metallurgy industry. The new explosive welding method integrates with pressure welding, fusion welding and diffusion welding. This method can successfully welds the metals which have different intensity, expansion coefficient and performance. The different performance of base metal and cover metal can be retionally combined and matched, and the noble metal can be saved to minimun amount.
What Are The Details of Our Cladding Bimetallic Plate?
Explosive cladding is a solid state welding process that uses precision explosions to bond two dissimilar metals while retaining the mechanical, elecrtical and corrosion properties of both. The process is most commonly used to clad steel with a thin layer of corrosion-resistant alloy metal, such as aluminium, stainless steel, brass, nickel, silver, titanium, or zirconium. However, explosion welding can join a wide array of compatible and non-compatiblemetals; with more than 260 metal combinations possible. The explosion weld is achieved in milliseconds; therefore, no bulk heating occurs, and the metals experience no dilution. Our clad deliver high shear strength and high tensile strength.

Records show the driver of a vehicle that struck and killed a pedestrian in south Jersey has had his license suspended seven times.
Twenty-five-year-old Robert Kusznikow lost his license three times for driving while intoxicated.
Kusznikow's father is president of the Stafford Township Council.
Authorities say Kusznikow struck and killed 76-year-old Michael Grosso Jr. and hit a parked car in the township on Wednesday morning. Authorities are awaiting results of a blood analysis.
Court and motor vehicle records examined by the Asbury Park Press show Kusznikow was 15 when he was issued a summonses in 2002 on charges of driving a mo-ped while under the influence.
Kusznikow's driver's license was suspended for 210 days in 2004 for driving under the influence, again underage.

MICHAEL Appleton has handed his transfer wish list to chairman Karl Oyston.
The Blackpool boss has made adding fresh faces to the squad his top priority for the coming week.
His side have a welcome break from league action today as they take on Premier League side Fulham in the third round of the FA Cup.
Pool lost Wes Thomas and Nouha Dicko after both players were recalled by their parent clubs on Thursday, something which has increased the urgency to do business.
"Karl and I had a conversation after the game on Tuesday, and I've given him a list of players I'd like to bring in," he said.
"He knows who, why and how I'd like to get these players to the club.
"We have a list of players, but I'm sure that list will change as the month goes on.
"Whether they are loans or permanent, I don't know. The impression I'm getting is that there won't be many permanent deals to be honest.
"We can only have a certain amount of loan players on the team sheet though, so we have to make sure we don't flood our squad with loan players."
Blackpool have a unique way of doing business in the transfer market, which usually involves leaving things until the last possible moment.
He said: "I'm always hopeful about getting my targets, am I confident is a totally different question.
"It's important to try and stay positive, I'm hopeful.
"We'll continue to work hard and get some fresh faces into the building, it would give everyone a big boost.
"But there's no point bringing faces in who aren't better than what we've already got, that's the most difficult part."

How to Control Your Heavy Machineries
Being in the industry for a long time, Axis Capital Group, a company which rents and sells capital equipment in Singapore and has now expanded to Jakarta, Indonesia to embrace a larger market across Asia, realizes that being an operations manager is one of the most challenging task in the workplace.
If you work around any kind of heavy equipment, you need to have a healthy respect for it. Most, if not all, equipment used in construction, mining, forestry, farming and other industries is big and powerful – and for those reasons, inherently dangerous. And although most of us are well aware of the warnings and the hazards involved, every year around the world there are still thousands of heavy equipment-related incidents that result in property damage or injuries and, unfortunately in some cases, fatalities.
As there are so many types of machines to operate and a lot more newer versions every now and there, it seems that there is no concrete tip on how to control heavy equipment that suits all variations. Obviously every machine and every situation comes with its own set of hazards, but there are some general safety rules you can review and follow to help you end every work day safely.
• Make sure you've been properly and sufficiently trained on the equipment you're using by qualified, experienced people.
• Be aware, stay alert and know your equipment's blind spots – whether you're the operator or just working around it.
• Communicate with people working around you – either via two-way radios or a spotter who's been trained on standard hand signals. Never assume people know what you're going to be doing.
• Always wear high-visibility clothing and steel-toed boots.
• Always wear your seat belt. It seems obvious, but it's easily forgotten. In case of a rollover this can be a life saver.
• Don't climb on or get off equipment while it's moving.
• Never exceed the load that a machine is rated to carry.
• Climb on and off equipment properly. Falls are still the number one cause of injury, so never jump off equipment and always use three-point contact (both feet and one hand or one foot and both hands on the holds at all times) when climbing on or off equipment.
• Always do a walk around and inspect the equipment before you start using it. Check tires, tracks, components and other mechanisms for cracks, damage or anything caught in them.
• Always load and unload equipment on level ground to reduce the risk of rollovers, and keep the area clear

The historic Roanoke Building at 11 S. LaSalle St. will be rehabilitated into an extended-stay hotel through a property tax incentive approved today by City Council.
11 S. LaSalle Hotel Partners LLC will use the Class L incentive to support the $88 million conversion of the 35-story office building into a Residence Inn by Marriott. Interior renovation work will involve the creation of 375 suites, new mechanical systems, an open lobby and meeting rooms. Exterior work will include the restoration of the historic steel windows on the lower floors, replacement of the upper floor windows, masonry repair, a new LaSalle entrance and the addition of a green roof.
Built in stages between 1915 and 1925, the 330,000-square-foot building was designed in the Portuguese Gothic Revival style by the architectural firm of Holabird & Roche. The building's exterior features dark terra cotta with Italianate designs. It was designated a Chicago Landmark in December 2007 and is listed on the National Register of Historic places.
The Class L incentive encourages the preservation and rehabilitation of landmark buildings. The incentive will reduce property taxes on the building by $13.8 million over the next 12 years.
An estimated 200 construction and 75 permanent jobs would be created by the project.

New priorities for education at HighlandMain question will be if the students learn the material
RIVERSIDE—At the Highland Community School Board meeting on Monday, Sept. 23, principals gave the board their goals for the upcoming year.
The district is using the book "Rigorous Curriculum" by Larry Ainsworth to use as a guide to prioritize the standards of education, said Highland Superintendent Chris Armstrong.
This isn't new to the district and has been a five-year process to get to the point of prioritizing the standards of what every student should know, Armstrong said. The Iowa Board of Education is providing Iowa Core guides to curriculum, which the district is also using as a guide for prioritizing what material students should know, he said.
"We're shifting from covering the material to making sure the students understand it," Armstrong said. "The main question we will ask ourselves is 'did the students learn it?' "
Both Riverside and Ainsworth Elementary schools are using four questions as a timeline through the year, said Riverside Elementary Principal Eric Ewald.
The questions are: What must all students know and be able to do, how will we know they have learned, what will we do if they don't learn, and what will we do when they have learned or already knew it?
At Ainsworth there are two building leadership teams, academic and non-academic, which meet twice a month. They have already set goals for this school year. Ainsworth Elementary Principal Jane O' Leary said they would like to see 85 percent of the third-through fifth-graders test as proficient on the reading section of the Iowa Assessments in 2014. They would also like to see 90 percent of their kindergarten through fifth-grade students reach benchmark levels on the DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) Next Universal Screener.
Ewald said the goal for Riverside Elementary includes improving 8 percent in the reading proficiency for third-and-fourth graders from last or obtain 87 percent reading proficiency. Ewald said his school has one building leadership team, which will meet within the next week to discuss how to give students additional class time for those that need extra help.
The middle school and high school has one leadership team for each. Unlike the elementary schools, who are focusing primarily on English and Language arts, the high school and middle school will focus on all of the other subjects, such as science, history, and math, said Highland High School principal Angela Hayslett.
The prioritizing of the Common Core standards is being set right now at the middle and high school, Hayslett said. In November and December a pacing guide will be set, in January and February the assessments will be developed, in March and April unit plans will be constructed, and by May a full plan will be developed for the 2014-15 school year.
Changing to the Common Core curriculum will only benefit the students and parents in the Highland School District, Armstrong said.
"This puts us in a great position to be more systematic about the learning process with each and every student," Armstrong said. "We then can partner with a parent to tell them what their child's specific learning issue is and what they can work on with their child."
Other items covered at the school board meeting included:
approving a resolution to modify allowable growth to cover the negative balance in the special education fund. The district was $189,844.19 over budget in special education for the 2012-13 school year;
approving fundraisers for the Highland Athletic Boosters and the Riverside Elementary Support Organization.
The next school board meeting is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m.

Emotion can be good and bad
Senior days and the like mean a lot in college. The emotional lift of honoring someone or a group of someones who have given a lot to your institution can propel a team to a victory or cause a sentimental hangover. We saw examples of both just last night. Read on.
• There wasn't much doubt who the better team was Saturday night in the McCarthey Athletic Center. Nine times out of 10, this year's Gonzaga team is going to handle an understaffed Loyola Marymount team. But throw in the hoopla of senior night and a loss would seem unfathomable. There was even a special guest, Kelly Olynyk, who would have been a senior if he had not left early for the NBA, where he should make enough money to underwrite Saturday's festivities. And the usual 6,000 in attendance were not disappointed, as the Zags went on to an 86-67 victory. But there is a flip side to emotion. It was on display in Moraga, where the Gaels hosted a reeling BYU team with second place in the WCC on the line. Prior to the game St. Mary's retired Matthew Dellavedova's jersey, one of the quickest jersey retirements I can remember. The Cleveland rookie was in the building – it's the NBA's All-Star weekend – and fired up the crowd – and the Gaels with his pregame speech. And St. Mary's promptly went out and built a 14-point lead. Game over, right? Nope. The emotional lift wore off after halftime, the Cougars' zone locked down on St. Mary's offense and BYU rallied for a 60-57 victory. Which just proves one thing. Emotions are great but most times a timely 15-foot jumper is better.
• St. Mary's defeat means Gonzaga will head to the road for its final four regular season games already assured of a piece of the WCC title. The Zags hold at least a four game lead in the loss column on everyone else in the league. A win in one of their final four games – at USD, BYU, Pacific and St. Mary's – or a loss by the Cougars, Gaels or USF and GU takes the title alone. And it is assured of the top seed in the WCC tournament.
• WSU: The Cougars aren't the tallest team in the Pac-12 and Stanford (pictured) just may well be. That height disparity can manifest itself in different ways though Saturday night it showed in WSU's shooting statistics. Getting good looks against lengthy opponents is not easy. Jacob Thorpe has more on the size differential and WSU's 69-56 loss to Stanford in this game story. Jacob also has video of the postgame as well as a morning post today. ... The Cougar baseball team evened its record at 1-1 with an extra-inning win at No. 1 Cal State Fullerton. As a sportswriter, I report that score dispassionately. As a UC Irvine baseball alum, I'll tell you it's always a good day when the Titans lose.
• Gonzaga: When Olynyk pulled off his jacket and revealed his old Gonzaga jersey, the Kennel Club went nuts. Though, as Thomas Clouse's story shows, they go nuts a lot. And, given some recent incidents in college hoops, that's always under scrutiny by GU administrators. ... Jim Meehan has the coverage of Gonzaga's victory in this game story and blog post from last night. He'll also have a morning-after post today. ... Tyler Tjomsland has a bunch of photographs from Saturday's game. ... The GU women saw their long WCC winning streak snapped in Provo as BYU prevailed 62-52. Gonzaga returns home for its final four conference games. ... Back to the men, San Diego shot down Pacific in Stockton, Portland celebrated senior night with a win over Pepperdine, San Francisco got past Santa Clara and, as we said before, BYU upset St. Mary's in Moraga.
• EWU: If Eastern shoots better than 50 percent from beyond the arc, I would say the Eagles chances of winning a Big Sky home game are right around 99.7 percent. Or 100 percent yesterday, when they hit 16 of 30 en route to an 84-65 win over Northern Arizona. Jim Allen has the background in this game story. ... Sacramento State traveled down the road to Portland and hung a 72-65 loss on the Vikings. ... Northern Colorado stayed within shouting distance of league-leading Weber State with a 83-73 home win over Montana State. ... Montana dropped to 7-7 in conference (tied with Eastern, Montana State and Portland State for fifth) with a 74-69 loss at North Dakota. ... Idaho handled woeful Southern Utah on the road, 75-65. ... One of Eastern's great players from days gone by will have his jersey number retired. And, no, they didn't use Roman numerals then.
• Idaho: Poor Stephen Madison. He is having one of the better senior years in Vandal history and he's doing it for a 10-16 team. The forward scored 42 points last night but UI still lost, 89-88 at Utah Valley, dropping to 4-8 in WAC play. Josh Wright has more in this blog post.
• Whitworth: The Pirates played woefully for 39 minutes. They trailed George Fox by 11 with less than a minute left. Then they rallied, tied the game and won 105-101 in overtime. Thomas Clouse has all the details in this game story.
• Chiefs: It's not often a WHL team wins a game 7-0. But that's what the Chiefs did last night against Tri-City. Chris Derrick has the story and a blog post on the easy win. ... It's not often a WHL team wins 16 consecutive games either, but that's what Portland has done. ... Everett couldn't get past Seattle.
• Preps: What a difference a couple days can make. Ferris frittered away a late lead Thursday night and surrender the GSL title to Gonzaga Prep. But Saturday the Saxons got a measure of revenge in a 55-54 victory to win the District 8 4A title. Greg Lee was at G-Prep and has the story. ...

So, did I download the entire new season 5 of Game of Thrones and use that as an excuse to post a pic of a lovely topless girl, namely Daenerys Targaryen? No on both accounts. I'll watch this show on TV. However, the boss of HBO likes piratism and thinks it benefits the show. Just read this:
"…in response to a question about whether the network kinda-sorta regards the extensive theft of HBO's flagship show, Game of Thrones, as a compliment, Bewkes said, "I have to admit it, I think you're right." The much-discussed fantasy series is HBO's most popular, and "if you go to people who are watching it without subs, it's a tremendous word-of-mouth thing," the exec told investors. "We've been dealing with this for 20, 30 years—people sharing subs, running wires down the backs of apartment buildings. Our experience is that it leads to more paying subs. I think you're right that Game of Thrones is the most pirated show in the world," he said. "That's better than an Emmy."

Wow...she collected a lot of fat quarters!!! As a surprise for my sister.....I made this quilt for her. The top is made entirely from my Mother's stash. My sister cried when she received it. And I made one for me too. Machine pieced and all hand quilted.

Canada should remain "flexible" and consider the global need for medical isotopes as the end date approaches for the Ontario reactor that produces much of the world's supply, the head of a major international nuclear agency says.
"The world is expecting that Canada will be conscious of the problem that is represented by a shortage of supply and that it is flexible to accommodate the production to cover the transition period," said Luis Echavarri, the director general of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, who was in Ottawa to attend a conference Thursday.
That does not mean Canada should artificially extend the life of the aging NRU reactor at Chalk River that is responsible for about a third of the world's isotopes, Mr. Echavarri said.
Rather, he said, Canada should help foster an understanding that action must be taken to protect access to the radioactive material which is used to treat and diagnose a number of life-threatening illnesses such as cancer and heart disease.
As the head of a group made up of many countries, the Spanish-born Mr. Echavarri is careful not to dictate domestic policy. But like other nuclear experts around the world, he is looking ahead to 2016 - the year Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said Canada would get out of the medical isotope business.
It was a shutdown of the half-century-old NRU after the discovery of a leak in 2009 that alerted the international community to the uncertain nature of the supply of technetium, the most common isotope used in medical procedures. That closure lasted more than a year and coincided periodically with a similar outage at the aging Dutch reactor that also produces a large amount of isotopes.
At various times and in a number of countries, including Canada and the United States, shortages of the material caused delays and cancellations of treatments.
The response outside Canada was not one of anger but rather surprise, Mr. Echavarri said. Everyone knew the reactor was old, he said, but there was a supposition that it would keep running.
If there was frustration, it was directed at the 2008 cancellation of two other reactors called the Maples that Canada was building to replace the NRU. "Some people thought for some years that the Maples reactors were really ensuring the continuity of the supply from Canada and, well, the situation is that this has not happened," he said.
But the world has also learned much from the prolonged NRU outage, Mr. Echavarri said, including the fact that the supply of medical isotopes is not guaranteed and that 95 per cent of the isotopes used in the world come from five reactors, all of them are very old.
As a consequence of the Canadian outage, he said his agency has created a high-level group to discuss ways to protect and bolster the amount of isotopes available internationally.
"Some countries are discussing the possibility of using reactors which were not producing isotopes but, with come small modifications, could do it," Mr. Echavarri said.
But the demand for isotopes will only grow in coming decades as more countries broaden their use of nuclear medicine, he said. So even though other countries not expecting Canada to make "drastic decisions" in relation to the isotope supply," Mr. Echavarri said, "I think they are expecting that the decisions will be commensurate with the problem of ensuring the supply of isotopes."

Recombinant Human Interleukin-3 (IL3)
|IL-3 is produced mainly by T cells following cell activation by antigens and mitogens, but also by keratinocytes, natural killer cells, mast cells, endothelial cells, and monocytes. The analysis of bacterial-derived recombinant IL-3 shows that glycosylation is not required for the activity of IL-3. IL-3 sequences are evolutionarily less well conserved. Human and murine IL-3 show approximately 29 % homology at the protein level while murine and rat IL-3 show approximately 54% homology. IL-3-alpha and IL-3-beta are two isoforms of rat IL-3. IL-3 receptors are expressed on macrophages, mast cells, eosinophils, megakaryocytes, basophils, bone marrow progenitor cells, and various myeloid leukemia cells. IL-3/receptor complexes have a Kdis of 10-9 - 10-10 M. Binding of IL-3 to its receptor causes specific phosphorylation of a 150 kDa membrane glycoprotein.

|The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Tags: attraction, fragile flower, inside the hearts, know the truth, love, opens the door to their heart, relationship, solid relationship, trust, truth, truth will set you free
…"But the Word of God is not chained or imprisoned!" 2Tim. 2:9
Trust is a very fragile flower. It can take years to build and yet in just one short moment of indiscretion can all come tumbling down, and there is nothing you can say or do to change it. Have any of you been there? I think all of us have at one point or another.
The main ingredient in any solid relationship is trust. Without trust there really is no relationship. You see, trust sets a relationship apart from all the others.
A young man who is going to college or out making his path in the world, sees and dates other young women. He's just looking around not really for anything in particular, he's just having fun making his way in the world, getting his direction as to where he wants to go…but then it happens.
Of all the people he's enjoying and having a good time with there is this one that stands out from the crowd. He's attracted to her and she is to him, and most important of all, they enjoy each others company.
They spend hours on end just talking and learning about each other. Every single detail comes out. They laugh, they cry, and they get to know just what makes the other tick.
This is a place that we don't usually let other people in, but when someone opens the door to their heart and say's, "I care about you, I love you, and I trust you to come in and make yourself at home," that is and should be treated as a very special moment, because something is born at that moment inside the hearts of both of these people. It's called trust.
If handled the right way, this trust will build into a strong unit and a force that nothing can knock over or penetrate through. There are four pillars that have to be present and born in the right order for all this to take place.
You have to bridge these four pillars together to make a solid unit that you will be able to build on for years to come. These are going to be the foundation pillars of what your relationship, and the relationship of your children and grand-children for generations to come, will be built on. When you think of it that way, you can see how so very important all this is.
Our society today doesn't hold to these truths anymore, and the selfish, I want what's best for me, attitude is what is control instead of this process.
The results are very evident… divorce, broken homes, teen suicide, and lots of lonely people who think that sleeping with every women in town, is being open and free, and in reality their heart is cold and empty, and they don't know the first thing about truth or trust.
There is always the initial attraction that we go through. We may be attracted to a lot of different people, but through the talking period and sharing of truth, you will know if this is the one or not.
Once you have established that this person is willing to open themselves truthfully and honestly to you, this will open up the next bridge to trust that you must cross. Without truth there can never be any trust.
This is where many relationships fail. Truth is not as free flowing in our society today as it once was. People don't think twice about lying or stretching the truth, but the bottom line is truth and integrity are the only ways to build a solid relationship that will last a lifetime. There is no other way… period.
Jesus said to His disciples in John 8:32, " you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." When you know the truth about anything it does set you free. There is no more doubting or wondering which way to go…when you know the truth. When you know the truth and the solid rock of trust is built you can whether the strongest of storms.
Follow these pillars and you will find that right person that will fit you like a glove, and then continue to build on the truth and trust that you have established, and your marriage will be one that will last a lifetime and one that will be emulated in your family for generations to come.

"Stetson lies at the center of growth and opportunity, and along with its staunch alumni, students, staff and faculty, its future is very bright indeed. It's clear that these people care, and their desire is for excellence."
Prior to joining Grand Valley in 2000, Schwarz worked in senior management and as treasurer for a family-owned manufacturing business and as an entrepreneur/owner of several other family firms. He taught finance at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and also held positions with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and in the futures industry in Chicago.
Schwarz is recognized nationally and internationally as a leader in the fields of family business and entrepreneurship. His excellence and regard in the field resulted in the prestigious award of Fellow Status from the Family Firm Institute in 2010. He previously served on the Body of Knowledge Committee of the Family Firm Institute and was the Research Program Co-Director for the Boston 2004 and the Chicago 2005 conferences. He is also a founding co-editor of the organization's publication, the Family Firm Practitioner. He has been a member of the Strategic Planning Committee for the Family Firm Institute since 2009. He has served with the Family Enterprise Research Conference (FERC) since 2007 and was 2011 Conference co-host. Schwarz also received the Teaching Excellence Award 2003, 2004, 2006 from Athens University of Economics and Business; and an Honorable Mention Award from the 2007 Family Enterprise Research Conference.
His research interests include international family business, entrepreneurship and finance.His publications have appeared in the Journal of Finance, Family Business Review, International Journal of Emerging Markets, Journal of Banking and Finance, The International Small Business Journal, Journal of Asian Business, as well as others. He is co-editor of the recent release of an 11-volume set titled, "Culturally-Sensitive Models of Family Business: A Compendium using the GLOBE Paradigm."
Schwarz will succeed Dr.Stuart Michelson, who plans to return to the Stetson classroom in his position as the Sarah and Roland George Professor of Finance.

Read on to find out what Oscar told reporters about his fiery arguments with Orly, his anger backstage, his relationship with Nicole and why he doesn't want anyone to win now...
The mentors said that your cape dresses were a bit "hoochy" but you suggested that there was an audience out there for them. Who were you designing for?
"I never got a chance to really show who my customer is really. I really was sent home too early. My strong suit is basically the evening gown - over the top evening wear - and logically the show wasn't about evening wear but boring ready to wear stuff, and I'm not into that. I'm all about fun and outgoing and carefree sort of things, and the closest thing to me to the evening wear was really the club wear, where ladies go out every Saturday night and let it all hang out. Obviously the buyers didn't agree with me and neither did the mentors, and I was really disappointed about that."
We saw some problems between you and Orly in the design studio. Can you talk about that?
"Orly is a total bitch... I did not like her from the beginning, she did not like me from the beginning. There was actually way more drama that happened during the filming than what NBC showed you last night, actually."
What was it that set off the disagreements between you and Orly?
"Well it's her background. I'm a businessman and actually the viewers at home didn't get to see that I'm actually not just a crybaby, not just a clown. I'm actually a very respected businessman that owns four assisted living [facilities] in Texas. That's a really, really hard business to have, besides my clothing line of course. And Orly is a bartender. She's a broke girl, a bartender. I'm actually well off. If I wanted to retire tomorrow, I would retire tomorrow. And so she and I didn't get along because of that. And particularly, I think her little convertible skirts are just a joke actually. We just didn't see eye to eye and I never intended to see eye to eye with someone like her, actually."
We saw you getting angry backstage after the buyers decided not to make you any offers. What was going through your mind?
"I actually smelt the fact that I was going to go home the second week. I actually knew I was in trouble as soon as I got on the show because my strong suit is evening wear, not boring day wear. So most of the designers there, that is what they do - they're in and they're out. I knew I would be in trouble. But I certainly knew that I wasn't the worst designer of the night and I certainly knew that no-one in the cast that is left in the show right now has 20% of my personality. You know, I was personality, I was business, I was everything and you can put that in bold print if you like! I was everything and all of my fans, they were shocked. They were like, 'Oh my God, how could they eliminate you? Your dresses were not the worst dresses, and no-one has your personality'. So I'm still questioning that."
Do you have any regrets? The buyers said last week they thought you were more of a comedian than a businessman. Do you wish you'd showed that side of you?
"Oh, no regrets at all. I give my all in everything I do and that's why I'm very careful in what I put my time into, and I really do only what I want to do. And me being called a comedian is actually a compliment. I'm a big fan of Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres and all of these people that make your life a little bit easier. I was not offended by Terron's comment - I actually wanted to tell him, 'Thank you so much, I appreciate that'. People go through so much hard times nowadays through work and being out of jobs and maybe not having enough money to pay for food or medications and a little bit of smile from a television show, I think it goes a long way."
Nicole seemed to really like you - did you get on well with her?
"Oh, I love Nicole. I absolutely love Nicole. I think me and Nicole connected very well and at different levels in such a short time that we were there. I actually feel like I'll be seeing Nicole some time in the future."
Can you talk a bit more about what you meant when you said there is always a customer out there?
"Actually, that was Elle [Macpherson] that said there is always a customer out there. I said that there was a customer for my clubwear dresses. I gotta tell you that my dresses were not the worst dresses in the show last night and I did not deserve to go home. I'm not just saying that - a lot of people agree with me on that. All you have to do is go into a club on a Friday night or a Saturday night and see what these ladies are wearing and that's exactly what these people are wearing. It's the kind of clubwear that I presented in the first and second episode of Fashion Star.
"I think the buyers had a point - they said, 'Maybe we don't cater to your customer', but that does not mean the customer does not exist. The customer is there and that customer is usually going into the clubs and they see the same people over and over again at the same clubs and they don't like to be seen wearing the same thing, so these people are at the stores on Thursday or Friday afternoon buying that little dress they're going to wear on Saturday. So I was very disappointed the buyers or the mentors didn't even see that, so I'm a little step ahead from them."
What did you make of the comments that the quality of the fabric wasn't good enough?
"Well you know, really and truly the buyers just didn't like the whole outfit, and that was just a lame excuse for them to say the fabric. The fabric was the perfect fabric for that dress. But obviously they're the ones who make the decisions. These are the people that dress America, they're the ones that decide what goes onto the floors and is made available for purchase. So I'm not going to challenge the decision, obviously, because I'm not at that level. But as a designer I stand by what I presented and I'm not intending to change anything from it, period."
Is there anyone you do want to win?
"No, I don't want anybody to win."
"Yeah, no. Because as far as I'm concerned I'm the winner. I went in and I made it very clear from the beginning that I was there to make a mark on television. I was there to become famous. And this morning when I went to breakfast, people were lining up at the restaurant to take pictures with me. And to me, that means a lot."
Fashion Star airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

New law requires green cleaning in CT schools
June 12, 2009
HARTFORD, CT — Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell yesterday signed Bill 6496 into law, requiring local and regional public school districts to use green cleaning products, according to a press release.
The new law requires school districts to have a green cleaning program in place by July 1, 2011, to help ensure a healthier environment for students, faculty and staff, the release stated.
Governor Rell said: "Schools are places of great promise for our children, where dedicated teachers and staff help shape and guide their futures. We can now color that future green, as well. This law will help ensure a healthy environment for everyone who walks through the doors of public schools in Connecticut."
According to the release, during the legislative process, proponents testified that nearly one-quarter of cleaning chemicals used in schools are toxic and significantly affect indoor air quality (IAQ).
The environmentally preferable products, which must meet nationally certified guidelines and be approved by the State Department of Administrative Services, include: General-purpose cleaners; restroom, glass and carpet cleaners; hand cleaners and soaps; floor finishes; and floor strippers, the release noted.
The law also requires the types of cleaners used and the methods employed be made public, the release added.

Previous coverage
In an effort to restart the stalled downtown library project, city and school officials are studying a partnership that would allow classrooms on two floors of the proposed facility.
Library timeline
1954: Downtown library opened at a cost of $1.7 million. Officials expected it to outgrow its capacity in 20 years.
1977: A master plan for the San Diego Public Library identified the need for a new central library.
1995: Mayor Susan Golding announced the new downtown library site at Kettner Boulevard and C Street. The City Council approved a $62 million budget.
1997: The council approved an $89 million library design that included a trellislike dome.
2000: The council chose a new East Village location at Park Boulevard and J Street, site of a police auto yard.
2002: The council approved a $303 million plan to build and improve San Diego libraries over 10 years, including a new main library downtown. Funding would come in part from selling bonds.
2003: San Diego won a $20 million state grant under Proposition 14, a statewide ballot measure passed in 2000 to give $350 million to libraries.
2005: The city's fiscal crisis rendered it unable to borrow money, jeopardizing the library system overhaul. Mayor Dick Murphy announced a fundraising campaign to save the downtown library plan. By the end of the year, the cost estimate for the downtown project jumped to $185 million.
2008: Library supporters face a year-end deadline to show progress under the requirements of the state grant.
Under the plan, city schools would pump $20 million into the nine-story library that would help cover construction costs, using money from Proposition S, a bond measure that passed last month.
"This plan is like a life preserver for the library," said San Diego school board member John de Beck.
The San Diego Unified School District board discussed the matter in a closed session on Monday. Superintendent Terry Grier discussed it with Mayor Jerry Sanders on Tuesday.
Yesterday, Sanders said, "Conceptually, it sounds like a great idea," but that much more study is required before he would endorse it.
Today, Bill Kowba, chief of logistics for the schools, and Jim Watts, director of architecture for the district, are scheduled to meet with Rob Wellington Quigley, the architect on the library project. Sanders said the outcome of that meeting will help determine whether the partnership makes sense.
"We don't know if it will pencil out or if we have to re-engineer the entire building because school specifications are different than library specifications," said Sanders, adding that he will not support more city money going into the project.
Buildings housing schools in the state must meet the requirements of the California State Architect's Office, which may differ with existing plans for the library, proposed near Petco Park.
In addition to providing a financial boost, the schools partnership might help library backers avoid losing a $20 million state grant. Supporters must show by the end of the month that solid progress is being made or risk forfeiting the money.
Sanders said yesterday that his office has contacted the state librarian to seek an extension.
While Proposition S, passed last month, earmarks $20 million for a new downtown school, De Beck said he needs to know what that would cover if it is spent as part of the library.
De Beck said he met Wednesday with Quigley and Judith Harris, chairwoman of the San Diego Public Library Foundation, a nonprofit that is raising money for the new library. In that meeting, he learned that the foundation has donors willing to cover two years of operating costs for the school.
"But if we still have to pay for the wiring, the furniture and other infrastructure, we don't have that money," De Beck said.
If the partnership is approved by the school board, the school built in the library would be among the upper floors. It would have to be a high school because state requirements limit elementary schools to the first two floors, De Beck said.
In June, the foundation announced that it had $30 million committed from 10 donors, including $1 million from the Hervey Family Foundation and $2 million from David Copley, chairman and CEO of The Copley Press Inc. and publisher of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Its goal is to raise $85 million within the next three years.
The project also has $80 million in city redevelopment funds, as well as the state grant.

Singapore: World City
In just a few short decades, Singapore has transformed itself from a tiny island off the coast of mainland Asia into a global superpower in banking, IT, education, biotech, transportation and many other fields. The fascinating story of how this tiny city-state which has no hinterland, no natural resources, and a relatively small population has achieved success is told in this book.
Singapore's history as a British colonial port, its dynamic multi-ethnic population, and its innovative governmental and social structures, are a part of the story. But there are others as well. How Singapore became a regional hub for finance, shipping and air travel, and now also for the arts, sport and leisure—are all showcased in dynamic detail, with over 300 full-color photographs to illustrate graphically how this small island functions like a well-tuned racing machine.
Author Kim Inglis, a journalist and long-time local resident, leads the reader on a series of explorations through Singapore's most notable districts and neighborhoods, explaining the growth and importance, and showcasing what they have to offer the visitor. Included are many lesser-known corners of the island which very few visitors ever get to see!

Tips and resources for farmers and gardeners
Shade Tree Care
The first thing a tree needs is space. Trees need as much room for their roots as you expect to have foliage on top. Most roots will be in the upper two feet of soil, though some species also grow deep tap roots. The roots need oxygen as well as water, so keep a well aerated soil surface that is at least 1.5 times as large as the crown of the tree is wide.
If you have poor soils, it would be ideal if you would plan a year in advance about planting a new tree. That year would give you time to not only dig a large a hole (three feet deep and at least 1.5 times as wide as the root ball) but to backfill it with a mix of original soil and 30-40 percent composted organic debris. Amended soils settle, so waiting a year reduces the risk of a tree shifting after planting. In addition, any newly planted tree taller than three feet will benefit from being stabilized by a well-anchored stake that is as tall as the tree and attached with a cord at about two-thirds of the tree height. Pad the cord where it attaches to the tree and keep it loose enough to allow for growth.
Especially for new trees, water often and deep during summer. Tree seedlings or balled and burlaped trees need to grow enough roots to supply the tops with water during summer heat. Shallow watering promotes shallow roots. Since most soils will only allow for water penetration of about one-inch per hour, using a drip system or soaker hose that applies about a gallon an hour, left running for 24 hours or more at a time, will create a deep water profile in the soil. This will also prevent salt accumulations in the rooting zone, which could eventually poison your tree.
Fertilize only in the spring with a well balanced fertilizer. Most lawn fertilizers consist mainly of nitrogen, which stimulates growth but not drought hardiness or defense mechanisms in trees. Apply a generic 10-10-10 (numbers denote the proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) fertilizer after your last expected spring frost with ample water on the soil just inside and outside the tree canopy. Specialized fertilizer for trees (that have additional other nutrients) also works well, because sulfur and iron are common deficiencies on Montana soils that can cause tree foliage to appear yellow or pale green.
Prune your trees properly, which for deciduous trees is best done in late winter before budburst or mid-summer. Most shade trees want to be lollipop or umbrella shaped for maximum energy production and water conservation. Deciduous trees should generally be pruned up, which means removing lower and inner branches so that you can walk under the trees and look up into a cathedral-like tree canopy.
Top-pruning to shorten a tree creates tangled growth and weakened crowns that fail during windstorms if done improperly. Occasionally, a tree will need the top pruned because of obstructions like power lines. For shortening deciduous trees, a branch should be pruned back to where another substantial branch forks off. This enhances the natural shape of the tree and protects its structural integrity versus arbitrarily lopping off the top to some designated height. If the tree is too large for you to prune safely or you are uncertain where to cut, hire a professional.
Conifers or "evergreens" prefer to be cone-shaped. Every year one main leader grows upward and a new "whorl" of side branches grows off last year's leader growth. To remain healthy, their foliage needs full sunlight, so widely spaced trees can maintain foliage all the way to the ground. If lower branches become shaded, they die. Lower branches that die or are pruned off will never grow back with any size. Pruning for health and shape is best done in early summer before the new growth has hardened. Larger branches can be pruned any time of the year. When shaping a conifer, leave some new growth. It is almost impossible to keep a tree the same size and healthy when it is genetically programmed to grow big. Healthy conifers will keep their needles for three years, thus leaving new needles every year is essential to maintain healthy needles.
Evergreens such as pines, spruces and junipers can have tops pruned back somewhat without significant damage to the tree if a shorter squatter tree is desired, and a healthy crown is available to work with. Typically no more than one-third of the green crown should be pruned off. Spruce trees, which have short needles with very prickly ends, are notoriously shallow rooted, making them very susceptible to being tipped over by high winds when they get taller than 40-50 feet. Pruning the tops of these trees back a little will promote wider denser trees that are less likely to fall in a wind storm. However, topping will change the shape of the tree so only do this with careful consideration.
When in doubt about any pruning, consult with a qualified professional arborist. Pruning and caring for trees requires knowledge, skill and concern for your wishes. Always ask for references and look at previous pruning work. Call your local Extension agent if you have questions.
Do not use tree injections unless your tree has a problem that is readily evident to you and has been diagnosed by an expert. Drilling holes into trees to inject a systemic insecticide or fungicide harms the tree. It is only warranted in specific situations as an expensive option to save the tree from an existing insect or disease attack or proven local threat. In addition, injections typically only work for deciduous trees when applied in early spring and summer, and do not work with most conifers. Never use injections as a means of fertilizing. If your tree looks healthy to you, it probably is and does not require anything other than occasional watering and mild uses of fertilizer. An unsolicited knock on your door by someone who says your tree is sick and needs an injection, probably only wants easy money. If in doubt, call your Extension office for advice.
Trees are beautiful and useful. A large deciduous tree planted on the south-west side of a house can keep your house 10-20 degree cooler in summer yet allow for the sun to warm your house after their leaves have dropped in the winter. A dense conifer such as pine, spruce and juniper planted on the windward side of your property also acts as a privacy screen and windbreak. Energy-use studies have shown that windbreaks reduce heating costs by 30 percent during the winter.
Choose and maintain your trees wisely.

Jonathan Cheechoos NHL career could be over.
The Senators placed the underachieving winger on waivers Monday at noon, ready to buy out the remaining one year left on his contract, at $3.5 million. Theyd have to pay him two-thirds of that $2.331 million.
Acquired with winger Milan Michalek in the deal that sent Dany Heatley to the San Jose Sharks last September, Cheechoo, 29, had five goals and nine assists in 61 games with the Senators.
If, as expected, he clears waivers at noon Tuesday, the Senators will wipe part of his contract off the books and will take a cap hit of $1.165 million for two years.
Trying to entice someone to pick him up, the Senators put him on waivers at the lowest price available ($125). Any team claiming him would have been on the hook for the final year of the contract.
Once the buyout period is complete, Cheechoo, who led the NHL with 56 goals in 2005-06 playing in San Jose, will be an unrestricted free agent and can shop his services elsewhere. The buyout period ends Wednesday.
Cheechoo finished the year with the Senators AHL affiliate in Binghamton.
If he wants to continue playing in North America, hell likely have to accept a two-way deal (that includes a minor-league clause). Otherwise, Cheechoo may get interest from teams in the KHL and Europe.
There might be someone who gives him a chance, said a league executive.
Not having his salary on the books will give GM Bryan Murray a bit more wiggle room when the UFAs hit the market Thursday. The Senators dont have a lot of cap room, but would like to add a forward and defenceman. The club is still negotiating with UFA forward Matt Cullen and defenceman Andy Sutton. Blueliner Anton Volchenkov will go to the market and winger Shean Donovan is studying the possibility of playing in Europe.
Monday was also the deadline for the club to extend qualifying offers to restricted free agents. Those were sent out last week to roster players Peter Regin, Nick Foligno, Jesse Winchester and Chris Campoli.
Kids coming in
The Senators will welcome 31 of their top prospects to Ottawa Tuesday for the development camp. Swedish blueliner David Rundblad, acquired from St. Louis for the 16th pick in Fridays draft, wont be here. He just got home from the Blues development camp and wants to stay overseas to train. He felt it would just hurt him. He wants to dominate the Swedish Elite League, so we just respected his wishes, Senators director of player personnel Pierre Dorion told Team 1200.
No Savard here
As reported Monday, the Senators likely wont be chasing Boston C Marc Savard. Dorion said the club cant fit his $4-million cap hit onto the roster. How could we put him under the cap? That would be our biggest problem, said Dorion. With the cap, Im not sure I see that being an option.

The role of education in health system performance
I investigate the role of education on health, using country-level data and the production frontier framework suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO) to assess performances of health care systems. I find that the impact of human capital on health is much smaller than suggested by the WHO frontier model, and the relationship exhibits diminishing return in the observed range of education. Taking into account the heterogeneity in this relationship generates a different ranking of the efficiency of health care systems internationally. This suggests that the method currently used by the WHO favors health care systems operating in countries that underinvested in education in the past.
