Generating Interest in Your Resume
by Lou Huskey, ResumeEdge.com Editor, CPRW
When applying for a specific position, it is important to make sure you include as many keywords within your field of expertise in order to generate a potential employer's interest. Companies are receiving hundreds of resume each day and yours needs to stand out among all the others.
1. If there is a specific position that you are interested in applying for, be sure to research the company and thoroughly go over the job description and position requirements. If they have specific requirements for the opening and you have experience that fits what they are looking for, highlight this information early on in your resume so the reader can quickly see that you "match" the position. Use caution that you aren't repeating the wording in the advertisement and don't rule yourself out even if you feel you're not a close match. Send the resume and let them decide.
2. When submitting your resume to various job sites and employers, it is important to include contributions and achievements along with, of course, explanations of your duties and responsibilities with current and past employers as well as your educational background. The resume is basically your advertisement and your goal is to create enough interest that will result in the organization wanting to learn more about you by telephone or in a face-to-face interview. When too many heavy details are included, you run the risk of overloading the reader, which can result in missing important accomplishments you have contributed during your career. A prospective employer isn't going to take the time to read a resume that is too lengthy.
3. Finally, if you have been caught in a reduction in force, be assured that you will eventually have success in landing a job. Candidates who appear to be in a desperate situation simply don't come across as well as candidates who have an image of confidence and self-worth. Many times when someone is no longer working, they feel lost and unsure. If you can look at an unemployment situation as a way of putting 100% of your efforts into the new job search, you will find far more success than those who sit by the phone waiting for it to ring. Get out there and make things happen!

Did Yoo-Hoo start making beer?
If not.... Pass.
You're wrong
yoohoo is disgusting. go drink some real chocolate milk and get back to us.
Beer is a beverage, thus the original statement fails.
I used to love Yoo-Hoo. Haven't had one in years though.
If Yoo-Hoo made beer I would definitely not drink that either.
The prophet hath spoken.
No way. Not even the best soft drink ever, as that distinction belongs to Birch Beer.
FAIL! That shit is horrible.
Yeah. Watery chocolate. Pass.
You are all bitter old men with bad taste.
I'm sure I'll see you drinking Yoo Hoo at practice tonight instead of beer - you know, since it's the best beverage and all.
quiet, junior. go get yourself a real pallate. not that bland processed one you've been carrying around with you.
Yoo-hoo doesn't intoxicate me to the point of enjoying your company, so it won't be present.
This guy agrees with you.
I'm on yer lawnz, drinkin mah Yoohooz.
The best non beer beverage is whisky.
The best non-alcohol beverage is:
i had to stop drinking it when i went full bore on vitamins. otherwise i get too many B complex vitamins and that can be a bad thing.
but Red Machine is definitely the best one.

The 1956 Packard Predictor was a show car developed in the 1950s by Mr. Richard Teague, Packard's top designer, along with Mr. Bill Schmidt, Chief Designer of Packard. The 1956 Packard Predictor was Packard's final show car which offered many great features for future company products. The show car was typified by crispness, sharply defined forms, and smooth flowing lines that the public thoroughly enjoyed. The Packard Predictor was built by Ghia of Turin, which after its completion, arrived back to New York City in December 1955.
The 1956 Packard Predictor show car was very advanced for its time that featured a wraparound windshield for ultimate visibility, quad headlights that were hidden behind clam shell doors, and fenders that were level with its hood and rear deck designs. The shape of Packard grille was preserved with a narrow vertical central nose appearance. The Packard Predictor styling model also offered satin finished aluminum moldings that began at the base of the grille and flowed smoothly around the body design. The Predictor was 222 inches long by four and a half feet low in size.
The styling offered many intuitive engineered features. For instance, when you open the Predictor's doors, sliding roof panels from over the doors were automatic and silently rolled back for easy entrance and exit. The roof panels could also be opened for ventilation while the doors remained closed. Another feature included swiveling front seats that added to the ease of entering or exiting the vehicle. A hooded Packard Balboa-type design rear window was fully retractable providing maximum ventilation for its passengers. The Predictor show car also offered a electronic push button ultra-matic transmission that was very unique at the time during the 1950's. A control unit for operation of roof panels, radio antennas, and courtesy lights was conveniently located in the rooftop for both the driver and passenger to access.
In 1954, Packard and Studebaker merged its two companies together to continue generating automobiles for the American market. However, an unexpected flow of cash was a problem for Packard, and unfortunately its days came to an end. The rare photograph below features the talented Mr. Richard Teague seated in the front roll on the left side is one of the very rare and scarce photographs that was taken showing the Studebaker-Packard Corporation Styling team during the late 1950's. After the relationship ended with Packard and Studebaker, the Packard Predictor show car went to the city of South Bend, becoming a small part of a complicated deeding arrangement of S-P property, building, and contents for back taxes.
Today, the Packard Predictor show car still exists and the model was included within the Studebaker collection that was donated to South Bend. For more information on the Packard Predictor styling model, please contact the Studebaker National Museum on Chapin Street in South Bend Indiana at (574) 235-9714.

By Jason La Canfora
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, January 25, 2006
Washington Redskins quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave left the organization after only one season to take the same position with the Atlanta Falcons yesterday.
Falcons Coach Jim Mora announced the hiring yesterday after interviewing Musgrave yesterday morning, and Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs released a statement indicating he is unsure how the team will address the vacancy but expects to announce a decision "in the near future."
"We wish Bill Musgrave all the best in his new role with the Falcons organization," Gibbs said in the statement. "Although it is unfortunate that he departed, we always want what is best for our coaches and their families, which is why we gave Atlanta permission to interview him."
The Redskins could have blocked Musgrave from interviewing for a lateral position with another franchise. Mora was seeking someone familiar with the West Coast offense to mentor quarterback Michael Vick, and Musgrave knows it as both a player and coach.
Gibbs hired Musgrave a few days after Washington's disappointing 2004 season ended, identifying him as a key component to helping the NFL's 30th-ranked offense and giving him a $500,000 annual salary. Musgrave did not come from the same coaching tree as the rest of the offensive staff, all of whom either coached with Gibbs during his first stint in Washington from 1981 to 1993, or played for him during that time.
Musgrave, a disciple of Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh, helped implement elements of the West Coast attack and was a leading factor in Gibbs's decision to utilize the shotgun formation after shunning it for most of his Hall of Fame career. The Redskins ended up using the shotgun frequently, even in many short-yardage situations, and Musgrave also tutored rookie quarterback Jason Campbell -- a first-round selection in last April's draft -- on a daily basis.
Musgrave was fired as Jacksonville's offensive coordinator following the 2004 season and hopes to run an offense again; the Redskins hired longtime coordinator Al Saunders to a record three-year, $6 million contract last week, with Gibbs turning over control of the offense to him.
Musgrave previously has served as offensive coordinator with Philadelphia, Carolina and the University of Virginia, as well as Jacksonville. He did not return a message left on his office voice mail yesterday and kept a low profile in Washington, with no introductory news conference.
Gibbs was unavailable to meet with the media at Redskins Park yesterday -- he was with his NASCAR team, celebrating its Nextel Cup championship at the White House -- but has one of the biggest, most expensive and most experienced offensive staffs in NFL history even with Musgrave's departure.
Jack Burns, who was the quarterbacks coach before Musgrave was hired, remains on staff as an offensive assistant, but could coach the quarterbacks. Gibbs also will have more time to float among players and positions with Saunders now running the offense, and he could work with the quarterbacks as well.
The Redskins agreed on extensions with all their assistant coaches last week, the team announced, but cornerbacks coach DeWayne Walker is drawing heavy consideration for the defensive coordinator position at UCLA, league sources said. Linebackers coach Dale Lindsey and defensive coordinator Greg Blache have turned down opportunities elsewhere, Gibbs said Monday.

The rest and Be Thankful has reopened after being closed by a landslip.
Motorists faced detours of almost 60 miles after the landslip blocked the the road for the eighth time in five years.
Loading article content
The A83, which runs from Tarbert to Campbeltown in Argyll, was closed after heavy rain caused a landslip at Butterbridge, near the Rest and Be Thankful, around noon yesterday.
Contractor Bear Scotland said an emergency diversion using the Old Military Road was not possible because of the location of the landslip.
Diversions in both directions were put in place via the A82 but still mean a 60-mile detour.
Bear Scotland said specialist engineers had examined the site and found the slope remained unstable and a large boulder needed to be removed.
The Old Military Road, which runs parallel to the main carriageway through Glen Croe, was reopened last year as an emergency diversion route to be used if the A83 was blocked.

|Name of the file: Solitaire - Cheat Codes - Author: ANO - [PC]
|Infinite Points
In the Windows XP version of solitaire, draw from the deck at least twice. Hold control and drag a card down from the deck. Click the "A" key and then let go of the left mouse key. You will get 10 points for this. Continue doing this for infinite points!
To do this trick, finish a game of solitaire with the time bonus option on. The cards will start bouncing. Click on the solitaire screen and the play again box will pop up. Select no, so the solitaire screen is just blank green. Use the instant win cheat (Alt+Shift+2) and you will recieve the time bonus you got last game will be added to your last game's score. For example, if your time bonus was 5000, and your final score was 6000, after using this glitch, you will have a score of 11000. This glitch can be used as many times as you want.
Move a card to an illegal position
Use the left mouse button and drag a card onto any legal position, just as you normally would, but do not let go of the left mouse button. While holding the card over the position, hit the Escape key once, then release the left mouse button. Now left click once on any face-up card at all and it will teleport to that position. You may also use the space bar and directional arrows to do this, however the final click to teleport the card must still be done with the left mouse button.
Draw single cards in a Draw Three game
Everytime you flip the top stack of cards, hold down CTRL-ALT-SHIFT and instead of flipping three card you only flip one card. This way you can draw single cards but still have the higher score of a ''Draw Three'' game.

Churchill hold Sporting Clube
March 28, 2007 20:25 IST
Churchill Brothers rallied from a goal in arrears to hold Sporting Clube de Goa to a 1-1 draw in a 11th ONGC National Football League match at the Nehru stadium in Margao, Goa, on Wednesday.
Striker Dudu Omagbemi put Sporting Clube ahead in the 41st minute, while Odafe Onyeka Okolie restored parity for Churchill in the 78th.
- National Football League coverage
Sporting Clube De Goa are in fifth place with 13 points from 10 matches, while Churchill, who drew their sixth match, are sixth on the league table with 12 points.
Churchill's defender Nicholas Muyoti was named Man of the Match.
Both the teams played at fast pace, fought hard, giving nothing away. Dudu Omagbemi, Sporting Clube de Goa's main striker, did pose threat to the rival defence with his skillful play, but was guilty of holding the ball too much and dispossessed by the Churchill defence.
However, he managed to get the better of his marker in the 41st minute and earned a penalty for his team after he was tripped from behind by defender Robert Lalthlamvana.
Dudu converted the penalty even as 'keeper Vinay Singh dived to his right and got his hand to the ball but could not prevent it from entering the net.
Earlier, Churchill had the best chance to forge ahead in the 30th minute but Bungo Singh, who was set up by George Ekeh inside the box, saw his stiff grounder missing the target narrowly.
Ten minutes later, Noaba Singh's powerful shot from 40 yards was blocked by Sporting's keeper Luis Barreto.
Churchill Brothers, who looked more forceful in the second-half found the equaliser in the 57th minute. Odafe Onyeka Okolie, accepting a pass from George Ekeh outside the box, controlled the ball and essayed a powerful right footer that beat 'keeper Luis Barreto all ends up and found the net.
Referee P K Bose showed yellow cards to Churchill Brothers' Robert Lalthlamvana, Bungo Singh and Sporting Clube's Rajesh Meetei.
Odafe Okolie had a glorious chance to score the match-winner in the 78th minute for Churchill Bros when he hoodwinked couple of rival defenders inside the box, sprinted down and essayed a right footer, but his shot was blocked by 'keeper Luis Barretto with his feet.

LiFePOwer from Human Audio's Muto
Here's a look inside Human Audio's Muto battery-powered DAC ($1299), handmade in Hungary. The Muto is compatible with resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz, has selectable S/PDIF inputs (RCA and BNC), has a fully discrete analog output stage with bipolar and JFET transistors, and employs two Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries capable of at least 12 hours of "green" operation. When the Muto is switched off, the batteries automatically recharge.
The idea behind the design is to create an extremely clean and stable power supply to provide a similarly clean and stable sound, one which maintains music's fundamental tones. According to True Audiophile's Gary Alpern, the engineers at Human Audio hold regular listening sessions with musicians to maintain a strong reference for their products' sonic attributes. I was also told that the company's engineers, in essence, "tricked" the DAC chip into thinking it's a non-oversampling design. I think the word "analog-like" was used somewhere in there, too.
This sounds like a product for AudioStream's Michael Lavorgna.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Jarrett Jack had 18 points and 10 assists, Stephen Curry made four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, and Golden State rallied from seven points down in the final 11 minutes to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 106-99 on Monday.
Curry finished with 28 points, Klay Thompson added 18, and David Lee had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Warriors, who have beaten the Pacific Division-leading Clippers three out of the four games between the two teams this season.
There were five lead changes in the fourth quarter, but Los Angeles managed only two baskets over the final 3:40 while Golden State closed on a 14-4 run.
Blake Griffin had 26 points and 13 rebounds for the Clippers. Jamal Crawford added 24 points off the bench.
NETS 88, KNICKS 85: In New York, Joe Johnson made the go-ahead jumper with 22 seconds left and scored 25 points for the Brooklyn Nets.

David West scored 14 points for the Pacers. George finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.

Evan Turner led the Sixers with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
HAWKS 104, TIMBERWOLVES 96: In Atlanta, Al Horford scored a season-high 28 points, Jannero Pargo had 16 and Atlanta snapped a two-game slide with a victory over Minnesota.

It's official: Tim Gunn will make it work for another season of Project Runway. "Definitely," says Gunn, on whether he's returning for season four of the hit reality show. "The contract isn't done, but it will be. They'd have to beat me away with clubs, to be honest." One gig that is ending, however, is his post as dean of Parson's fashion department — Gunn is moving on to become creative director of Liz Claiborne. "I feel the lion's share of what I really could achieve [at Parsons], I did," he says. "I've been in academia for 29 years, so now I get to take all that great knowledge and apply it to the real world, which I'm thrilled about because I always love a challenge… I'm really eager to roll up my sleeves and get into the more basic Liz brands because they reach such a huge audience."

2012 ACC Tournament: Maryland Terrapins season ends in loss to North Carolina
ATLANTA (AP) - North Carolina shook off an injury to John Henson and pulled away from Maryland in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, winning 85-69 Friday behind Kendall Marshall and contributions from everyone else.
Reggie Bullock hit back-to-back 3-pointers to start the second half, quickly extending a 10-point halftime lead to 42-26. Behind 30 points from Terrell Stoglin, the Terrapins sliced the deficit down to seven points a couple of times before the fourth-ranked Tar Heels pulled away again.
North Carolina (28-4) had too many weapons for Maryland (17-15).
Marshall scored 13 points and doled out 12 assists. Bullock and Harrison Barnes scored 15 points apiece. Tyler Zeller and James McAdoo chipped in with 14 each.
North Carolina faces either North Carolina State or Virginia in the semifinals Saturday.

I was wondering how soft the Semi-Solid silicone butt implants feel? How flexible is this material? not just in the butt, but when you hold it in your hands, is it hard or jello-like? what would you compare the feeling to? I`ve seen girls get the High cohesive gel butt implants, and look and feel great, natural and jiggle normally. I'm in Canada, I think it's legal here.
Doctor Answers 1
Buttock implants squeezable???
Although to touch and feel the high density cohesive silicone gel implants they are softer, once a very soft semi-solid silicone rubber implant is place under or within the large gluteus maximus muscle they feel very nearly the same. In fact this is one of the reasons why they are placed deeper into the muscle as to keep them looking and feeling as natural as possible. Other advantages to placement under the muscle is that the implant with not migrate or sag over time and it is less like to create a capsular contracture (whereby it turns hard due to an excessive amount of scar tissue surrounding it). Glad to help...RAS

The larger question is why the Chinese do this and what the regime's spying compulsions say about what it is.
In an op-ed in these pages last year, Mike McConnell, Michael Chertoff and William Lynn noted that "The Chinese government has a national policy of economic espionage in cyberspace." The three former national security officials chalked this up to Beijing's need for rapid economic growth to improve the lot of its people. "It is much more efficient for the Chinese to steal innovations and intellectual property," they wrote, "than to incur the cost and time of creating their own."
That's right as far as it goes, though nobody should get the idea that Beijing's cyberraids are part of some Robin Hood-like quest to spread the technological wealth around. A major reason the Chinese spy is because it comes naturally to a regime that feels threatened by the open exchange of information, and even by people's private thoughts. So it is with most despotisms.
Still, whatever else the Chinese thought they were doing by hacking us, they didn't stop the publication of a single article. Now they have only magnified their embarrassment, as their intrusion was eventually bound to be detected and publicized. Perhaps they will now try to deny us travel visas, harass our journalists or otherwise interfere with our business in China.

Cancellation of repair work on sub could lead to layoffs
Budget cuts could lead to a round of layoffs at Electric Boat.
The potential layoffs stem from the U.S. Department of Defense's abrupt change of course to repair the USS Miami nuclear submarine.
In May 2012, there was a fire that heavily damaged the sub while it was docked in Maine.
The U.S. Navy initially planned to repair the sub, and most of that work was slated to be done at Electric Boat.
But an initial estimate of $450 million eventually grew to $700 million, and Navy officials pulled the plug.
Electric Boad had hired 350 contractors for the repair work, and some of those will stay on to help dismantle the sub.
According to a report in the The Day of New London, the company does not know how badly jobs at EB will be affected by the change.
EB did announce 55 unrelated layoffs Friday due to a general slowdown in contracted work at the shipyard.
The news was better for a group of about two dozen EB workers who won $1 million in last week's Powerball drawing.
They pooled their money and purchased 23 tickets at a Groton convenience store, and one of them hit five of the six winning numbers for a million-dollar payout.

Basle (Aug. 30)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The Fifteenth Zionist Congress, the legislative body of the International Zionist movement, went into session at 8.30 last night at the Messe Hall, in the presence of 280 delegates, representing Zionist societies from all parts of the world.
A large number of guests, including many from the United States and Canada, came to attend the sessions of the Congress, which marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of political Zionism. Thirty years ago today, in this city, the Zionist World Organization was created at the first Contress, convoked by and presided over by Dr. Theodore Herzl. founder of modern Zionism.
The large Messe Hall was crowded with delegates and guests when Nahum Sokolow, Chairman of the World Zionist Executive, opened the session. By a unanimous vote, Mr. Sokolow, one of the oldest living Hebrew writers and leaders, was elected President of the Congress.
Eleven vice-presidents, representing the various countries and groups with delegates at the Congress, were elected. Dr. Leo Motzkin of Palestine was elected as first Vice-President. Other vice-presidents are: Deputy H. Farbstein, Dr. Leo Reich, Deputy Isaac Gruenbaum of Poland, Mr. Feinmann, Mr. Kaplan and M. M. Ussischkin of Palestine, Rabbi Meyer Berlin of New York, Rabbi Max Heller of New Orleans, Dr. Schalit, Miss Henrietta Szold and Dr. Stephen S. Wise of New York.
The session, held in a solemn atmosphere, was devoted to the opening addresses of Dr. Weizmann and Mr. Sokolow. Both began their addresses in Hebrew. Messages from leading Jews all over the world were read.
Following the opening addresses of the heads of the Zionist Executive, the delegates listened to addresses by Dr. Martin Buber, well-known German Jewish writer and by Mr. Sokolow, eulogizing Achad Ha'am, the late Hebrew writer and philosopher, who was the founder of the school of spiritual Zionism.
After the close of the session, the Permanenzausschuss, the Committee on Committees, went into session, to consider the various issues which are to be brought up before the Congress.
As the Congress went into session, there were no clear indications as to the probable course the various groups would follow in the decisions on the pending questions. The announcement of the creation of a joint committee of the general Zionists which, it is believed, would uphold the Weizmann administration, was met by the announcement of the labor groups that they have undertaken negotiations with a view of creating a bloc of the labor groups.
The strength of the delegation of American Zionists, who were to hold the balance of power at the Congress, was diminished by a decision of the Congress Court, acting upon the protest of the opposition leaders, that the credentials of the American delegates are not valid in view of the fact that no elections took place. The Court, which has the function of the Credentials Committee decided that only 40 of the American delegates are to be admitted, unseating nine.
It was also learned that the American delegation has decided to press the demand for a smaller Executive in Jerusalem. It was stated that the Americans will favor an Executive consisting of Col. Frederick H. Kish as the political representative, Van Friesland and Harry Sacher, Jerusalem lawyer.
The General Council has appointed a committee of twelve to work out a report on the question of the anti-Zionist persecutions in Russia and on the relief question.

Sound-and-Light Show on the Reims Cathedral
All over France, historic churches and chateaus offer "sound-and-light shows." Most are pretty sleepy and feel like entertainment from a different — and more boring — age. But the sound-and-light show projected on the magnificent west facade of the cathedral at Reims is worth losing a little sleep over (this time of year, it doesn't get really dark at this latitude until nearly 23:00).

A Research Park for URI? Maybe.
Kansas State University broke ground in November on the Kansas Bioscience Research Park, a $28-million facility meant to support research and commercialization in animal health and food safety.
A month earlier, Louisiana Tech University broke ground on a technology research park, which state officials hope will create 1,000 jobs in its first decade. In August, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg dedicated a new business incubator in lower Manhattan being run by New York University's Polytechnic Institute. It is meant to help launch new firms in such signature Gotham industries as fashion, media, and finance.
Definitions vary, but the Association of University Research Parks estimates that there are more than 170 of the facilities in North America, employing more than 300,000. They range from sprawling, multi-university networks like North Carolina's 50-year-old, 7,000-acre Research Triangle Park, to sites barely the size of a suburban home lot.
The University of Rhode Island "got started relatively late" with plans for a research park of its own, David M. Dooley, the University's new president, noted in a recent interview. Dooley aims to make sure that when URI gets in the game, it is fully equipped to succeed.
People who haven't closely followed the evolution of URI's research park idea may only be aware of the proposal because of a controversy that arose last spring over consultants' selection of a Flagg Road site, across from the north side of campus, as the best location for the park. A group of URI faculty members protested the selection, saying that putting a park there would conflict with the continued use of a wooded area known as the Century Forest for its 100-year-old trees.
The issue hasn't been resolved, but in Dooley's mind the key question isn't where but when—perhaps even whether.
"The conversation on campus had advanced to a discussion about size, the number of acres, a precise location, but I thought there were some fundamental questions to be answered before we got down to those details," Dooley said. "When I came here and looked, I noticed that a lot of the analysis that had been done about this was done in a very different economic context and climate. I'm not comfortable that it's still applicable and accurate."
Part of the analysis to which Dooley referred was a 128-page report by a Washington, D.C.-area consulting firm evaluating URI's strengths in terms of faculty research, location, political and "leadership" factors and other criteria; assessing the growth potential of a URI research park based on the performance of four comparable "benchmark" parks around the country; exploring possible financing avenues, and ultimately recommending that the University go forward.
The report was dated August 2007, about when the first serious cracks were appearing in the historic U.S. housing bubble, the collapse of which would lead to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The ensuing recession has been harder on Rhode Island than on almost any other state. The consultants' report barely mentioned external economic factors; it spoke instead of rising rents and falling vacancy rates for regional office space, reflecting a sunny economic climate that has since gone dark.
Former URI President Robert L. Carothers, though a strong supporter of a research park, decided that it would be unfair for a departing president to green-light so significant a project, since it would be his successor, Dooley, who would have to live with the consequences. Thus, the decision landed in the new president's lap.
Dooley has opted to go back to the drawing board. He appointed a task force that includes Peter Alfonso, Robert A. Weygand, and Donald H. DeHayes, URI's vice presidents for research, administration, and academic affairs, respectively. The task force's charge is to reassess the feasibility of the research park in light of both the changed economic circumstances and the fact that Providence's jewelry district, renamed the Knowledge District, is trying to attract investment and brainpower in the biosciences. Dooley wants to explore the possibility of URI's getting involved in that project or in a multi-site solution. He said he was seeking specifics on potential co-investors and sources of revenue as well as a more refined definition of what such a park is meant to achieve and how best to get there. The task force has been asked to report back to Dooley by the end of the fiscal year in June.
Said Dooley: "We want to have a solid enough foundation so that success is, if not assured, then at least likely."
Alfonso came to URI two years ago from the University of North Dakota, where he had helped launch an ambitious research park. He spoke in an interview about the possible goals of a research park for URI.
Alfonso has estimated that about one-quarter of URI's faculty works on research with real commercial potential. As things stand now, a URI researcher could create a new technology and license it to a big company in, say, California. A trickle of licensing revenue would flow to the researcher, URI, and the Rhode Island economy, true, but most of the economic benefits in terms of job creation and spin-off businesses would stream to California, where the technology was being developed. A logical next step beyond obtaining licensing revenue from locally-generated technology is for URI researchers to launch their own companies and let their ideas grow up right here—a process that Alfonso said would be facilitated by a research park, as has been amply demonstrated around the country.
The Benefits Go Beyond Opportunities for URI Faculty
"As a state entity, we can't own a company, but we can take some equity," which would generate revenue for the University, said Alfonso, who also heads the URI Research Foundation, created by state law in 2007, shortly after he arrived from North Dakota.
Another advantage of a research park is that it can attract existing companies looking for less risky and less expensive means of conducting research and development. Partnering with a university means the company can make its R&D budget go farther because it doesn't have to create costly facilities of its own—they're already in place at the university's biochemistry lab or oceanography institute, for example. It also means access to graduate students as a source of relatively cheap labor in the short term and potential future employees in the long term.
Peter W. Rothberg, a lawyer with Duane Morris LLP in New York who works with venture capital firms, "angel investors" and the fledgling companies they nurture, said that the other side of the same coin is to the benefit of students.
"Given the nature of student bodies these days, they no longer see working for a large corporation as the golden ticket," he said. "They don't all want to work for UBS or B of A anymore."
A research park or business incubator can help the University compete for the highly-motivated students who might be starting companies of their own one day, Rothberg said. It can thereby create a circle of local firms prospering by hiring local students whose experience enables them to seed new local companies that provide opportunities for the next wave of top-notch students.
With 170-plus university-affiliated research parks up and running, is there a danger that URI is too late, that the U.S. is already "over-parked"?
"Are you kidding?" said Rothberg. "There's a huge surge of entrepreneurialism because you can't find jobs. If your business needs anything more than a computer terminal, you can't work at home. You can't bring clients to Starbucks. Young companies are desperate for help. If you can give them space and all they have to do is move to Kingston, no question they'll move."
Edward M. Rudnic '78, M.S. '82, Ph.D. '83, is founder and former chairman and CEO of MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in Germantown, Md., and a member of the Technology Council of Maryland. He is co-inventor of Adderall XR, a multi-billion-dollar drug used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The Washington Post has described Rudnic as "the face and voice of the region's biotech industry."
URI Has the Perfect Location
Rudnic's three degrees from URI are all in pharmacy. He sounded frustrated in a recent interview that Rhode Island has been slow to embrace the idea of a research park. The economic-development benefits of putting an entrepreneurial enclave in close proximity to an academic center "have been proven in 49 of the 50 states," Rudnic said.
"North Dakota is ahead of Rhode Island, and there's something wrong with that," he went on. "Wyoming is ahead. Iowa has tons of research parks that are thriving."
Rudnic said that URI's location in the Northeast Corridor and its proximity to the biotech hub of Boston should be natural advantages for a research park. Another enticement to potential partners would be the just-completed $70-million Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences. And the Health and Life Sciences complex will soon be enhanced by the new College of Pharmacy, for which a groundbreaking ceremony was held in October.
Research parks can succeed without significant government backing, but the right kind of support can make a huge difference. The University of Maryland Baltimore's BioPark research complex got a major boost when the state decided to locate its forensic medical lab there.
For graduates who want to pursue the research they did at the university level but in a commercial setting, a research park can encourage them to stick around, Rudnic said. He's seeing it happen at the UMB BioPark, which he advises.
Lacking similar opportunities at URI, Rudnic said, "most people just move away. You're talking to one."
Rudnic said he understood Dooley's caution about getting the plan right, but all the same, "You can't break out of an economic slump by not spending money."
At Montana State University at Bozeman, where Dooley was provost and vice president for academic affairs for eight years before coming to URI, the Center for Entrepreneurship for the New West is trying to help stem persistent brain drain in a place where good-paying jobs are scarce. MSU students have been fully involved, providing 10,000 hours of consulting advice to 40 local companies, since the center opened in 2001, according to Entrepreneur magazine.
Aided by the center, MSU has had great success fostering start-ups, Dooley said, with "dozens and dozens" of little companies launched in engineering and biotech.
"A lot of those companies are not located within the [MSU research] park," Dooley said, adding that a physical facility is not the sole determinant of a successful academic-commercial partnership.
Success, however URI achieves it, will be defined by hard numbers, including "increases in patent applications, awarded patents, licenses and license revenue, companies created, and the net worth of those companies," Dooley said.
"The state certainly desires a big success," he said. "We need desperately to lay the foundation for a new kind of economy in Rhode Island."

Selected Issues Of Personal Income Taxation Harmonization
In the process of furthering EU integration little attention was given to the role of income taxes. Multiple income tax systems exist across the Union and their differentiation negatively impacts the European labor market, investments and savings, inhibiting economic growth. Individual nations have little motivation to harmonize as they can engage in tax rate competition and income taxes are interwoven with social security systems that make any attempts at reform extremely complex and politically unpopular. Much of current harmonization is "silent", paralegal, and occurs in response to market forces rather than following a formal plan and through intergovernmental cooperation.

Editor's Note: The first and second bullet points that accompany this article have been edited for clarification and accuracy.
When the lease for a Cablevision call center in Newark expires in two years, the Economic Development Authority doesn't want the facility's employees to travel far to their new office.
After the authority unanimously approved Cablevision's application for a $37.5 million Urban Transit Hub tax credit yesterday, the telecomm giant said it does have plans to develop a new space just a few blocks down the street.
"Cablevision has a long-standing and important relationship with the state of New Jersey and the city of Newark, and a commitment to local hiring, local jobs and supporting the local economy," said spokesman Jim Maiella. "We are pleased to be investing in a new state-of-the-art call center, larger than our existing facility, closer to mass transit and modernized for our more than 500 Newark employees."
The space being considered at 494 Broad St., just a few blocks away from its current location, would include 12,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 700 parking spots.
It's not the cheapest of Cablevision's options by far — the authority estimates that the company would spend between $28 million and $33 million to move its center into Long Island, where Cablevision is based, and Connecticut offices it already rents. Moving into the Newark office would cost $73 million.
But the city would retain 574 jobs with an average salary of $37,000 if Cablevision stays, said Caren Franzini, CEO of the development authority.
"I think it's also important to note that 50 of the current jobs in Newark will be upgraded in terms of the skill set requires," she said. "They would use existing staff, train them for this skill set and that will result in higher salaried jobs."
The authority also approved:
- A $19 million grant in the form of tax reimbursements for Catellus Teterboro Urban Renewal LLC. The national mixed-use developer will begin the construction phase of its $101 million revelopment project on 55 vacant acres between Teterboro Airport and the borough's NJ Transit station next July. The brownfield, purchased by ProLogis from Honeywell International in 2007, will be host to 425,000 square feet of leasable retail and restaurant space, 162,000 square feet of light industrial and 2,500 parking spaces.
- An annual $2.7 million Grow New Jersey Assistance Program tax credit over ten years for Conair Corporation if the company, which makes hair dryers, curling irons and small kitchen appliances, creates 446 new jobs in the state by building a 450,000 square foot facility here. The company is considering building its new facility in Glendale, Ariz. as an alternative.
- $1.87 million in grants to persuade EisnerAmper to keep its New Jersey employees in the state. The leases at each of the firm's locations here — Edison, Bridgewater, Hackensack and Wall — will expire over the next two years. The company has said it is considering consolidating those offices into an Iselin office or relocating 255 employees to Pennsylvania or its New York headquarters.

Assessing candidacy for tummy tuck
From your pictures it looks as though you would be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck.
Abdominoplasty results in a flat, taut abdominal contour because excess skin and fat are removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened. The procedure works really well and has a low risk profile. Mini tucks are reserved for patients with modest skin excess who do not need muscle plication/tightening. For some patients liposuction is also recommended. In many cases liposuction can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck. Liposuction involves creating tunnels through fat. Tunnels collapse over 4-6 weeks to provide the changes in contour that we seek.
Recovery is quite rapid with most patients able to drive within a few days. After a tummy tuck an abdominal binder is used for 2 to 6 weeks depending on whether or not muscle plication is performed.The single most important thing for a smooth recovery is walking: patients who undergo surgery must begin to walk immediately to avoid the rare but serious complication of a blood clot.

MONDAY, Aug. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) appears to be a safe and effective treatment for infantile colic in breast-fed infants, and gut microbiota changes induced by this probiotic may play a role in symptom improvements, according to research published online Aug. 16 in Pediatrics.
In a double-blind trial, Francesco Savino, M.D., of the Regina Margherita Children's Hospital in Turin, Italy, and colleagues randomly assigned 50 exclusively breast-fed infants with colic to either L. reuteri DSM 17 938 or placebo. They monitored daily crying time and adverse effects through parental questionnaires, and collected stool samples for microbiologic analysis.
The researchers found that minutes per day spent crying were 370 in the treatment group versus 300 in the placebo group on day zero (P = .127), and 35 in the treatment group versus 90 in the control group on day 21 (P = .022). The number of babies whose crying time fell by at least 50 percent was significantly higher in the treatment group on days seven, 14, and 21. A significant increase in fecal lactobacilli and reduction in fecal Escherichia coli and ammonia occurred only in the treatment group. Between the two groups, there were no differences in incidence of constipation or regurgitation, weight gain, or stooling frequency, and there were no adverse events related to the supplementation. The authors concluded that gut microbiota changes caused by L. reuteri could have a role in the clinical improvement seen in the treated infants.
"These findings provide important insights into the role of an aberrant bacterial flora in the pathogenesis of infantile colic and the potential to overcome this with probiotic supplementation," the authors write.
The study was funded by BioGaia AB, which develops, manufactures, and markets probiotic products.

I need to be convinced into buying!!! Help!
I'm a huge glock and Springfield xdm fan. The only smith semi I ever owned was a sigma so needless to say, we're currently separated. I will be buying a full size combat use 9mm from someone and need to know why to buy m&p. All opinions appreciated.
Well... Buy it. You won't be disappointed.
Don't do it man...you're far better off buying your woman a designer purse. Lol
Natural 18 degree grip angle, light weight durable design, accurate. Whats not to love?? I for one prefer them to Glocks and XD's.
But thats just me.
I had one and was "disappointed"... Now I have a Glock for work and remember why I really like my M&P. I sure do miss it. You should buy, that way I can live vicariously through you.
Smith & Wesson really did their homework on designing this line. Glock had pretty much a strangle-hold on the polymer-frame striker-fired market due to excellent marketing and advertising for well over a decade.
S&W set out to grab as big a share of that market as they could and took all the best features of the design and made improvements where they could. Some like the Glock trigger better, some like the M&P trigger. Some (like me) did a little work on the stock M&P trigger and have gotten great results with no special tools or training required. Some have dropped an aftermarket trigger into the M&P and report a big improvement.
I personally look for ways to keep my money here in the US. Now, I certainly won't buy American unless I think I'm getting value for my money. I honestly think S&W is making a superior product for about the same money. The decision was a no-brainer for me.
I have the pro series. A few bucks more but better trigger pull and night sites. Cheaper than adding these later. Great ergonomics and weight distribution. Very accurate. You'll like the feel better than Glock & XDM. Both I believe over rated but popular and good quality guns. M&P is right there with them.
I just added my second M&P to the growing arsenal. I looked into the Glock and XD before buying my first M&P, but neither fit my hand as well as the M&P. My first M&P is a 40c, and it's my CC gun and has proven itself to be utterly reliable. Eats any ammo I throw at it and just runs. Today's purchase is more for fun, it's a 9 Pro 5".
Give the M&P a fair evaluation, I think it compares very favorably to the Glock and XD. And for me personally, it just feels better in my hand.
The "Made in the USA" part didn't hurt either. http://www.raptorsource.com/forum/Sm...m/thumbsup.gif
Just do it you'll be very happy with the m&p

TRENTON — Nine county and municipal health departments began offering free and fast lead screenings for families concerned about their children's exposure to lead paint, state Health Commissioner Mary O'Dowd announced today.
More than 2,000 children are expected to be tested — and linked to treatment if necessary — in Camden, Cumberland, Middlesex, Monmouth and Salem counties. Hackensack, Jersey City, Morristown and Passaic health departments are also participating, according to the health department.
"Early diagnosis is critical — it allows children to get treated sooner and serious health and learning consequences can be avoided," said O'Dowd, who announced the pilot program today in Passaic, which received $159,000 to address its lead paint issues. "Blood lead testing also guides lead remediation and enforcement actions to eliminate lead contamination in housing, consumer products, and the environment."
Although all children are required to be tested for lead exposure, only 76 percent of children by age 3 have been screened, according to O'Dowd's statement.
Each of the nine sites will get a "LeadCare II Blood Lead Testing System" that will produce test results within three minutes.
The pilot program comes on the heels of state's lead paint abatement efforts taking a financial hit this year. The budget just approved by Gov. Chris Christie and the Legislature cut the Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund in the Department of Community Affairs from $2.9 million to $198,000.
The Health Department continues to run its own lead detection and prevention programs, spending about $2.2 million for lead screening, case management, abatement and investigations, according to O'Dowd's statement.
New Jersey's past efforts helped decrease the number of children testing with high levels of lead in their blood, from 3,653 in 2006 to 1,358 in 2010, a 63 percent drop.
Since 2004, the state's has spent $54 million removing lead from older homes and apartments. It has also financed home inspections, emergency relocations for affected families and efforts to educate the public about the risks of living in homes built before lead-based paint was banned in 1978.
Star-Ledger staff writer Sal Rizzo contributed to this report.

I'm a huge cider fan, dating back to my teenage years and my first trip to Europe. It was with my parents, and I was about 15 years old. Going to Europe at that age with one's parents was difficult enough. I was always trying to drift behind or bolt well ahead of the family unit so that no observers (especially the European teenage girls) would suspect that I was traveling under the auspices of parental units.
Easing the humiliation of being perceived by the natives as anything less than perfectly independent was a nice gesture from my folks. They let me drink . . . a little. When we visited Glenfiddich, I got to taste the scotch. At dinner in France, I'd get some wine. And in England and Normandy, rather than letting me have a pint of beer, I was allowed to order glasses of hard cider. A small, late-afternoon buzz therefore accompanies many of my memories of Europe's greatest attractions.
My affection for good hard cider persists, which is why I was excited to find some locally made stuff on sale at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market a couple of weeks ago. It was being sold by the Apple Farm, the wonderful Anderson Valley-based family collective of the Schmitts (who used to own the French Laundry) and Bates (son-in-law), who sell wonderful heirloom species of apples and all sorts of apple products.
While the apples I bought were superb, I must report that the cider disappointed. It was tinged with a heavy aroma and taste of sulfur (a preservative) that overwhelmed any delicateness and sweetness from the apples. Sadly, we didn't finish the bottle, but dumped our glasses out and turned to white wine. Nevertheless, it was nice to be reminded of my first trip to Europe.

For a restraining order to be granted, the petitioner must prove that they are the victim of an act of violence, a threat of violence or harassing or stalking behavior. As you've explained it, the two of you had a consensual relationship that did not involve any violence, threats of violence or harassing or stalking behavior. Assuming this to be correct, I don't see that this woman would have any legitimate ability to obtain a restraining order.

Put in context, I don't see your words amounting to a threat. It appears that everyone acknowledges that you had an affair with this man's wife and that you two were "caught" on several occasions. Further, it appears that he actually sent you several texts that might be considered threatening in nature. BotXXXXX XXXXXne, it does not seem that he has the basis of a legitimate restraining order either.
Just a thought, but you might consider an exit strategy. Perhaps you could send an email stating something along the lines of your relationship with his wife having come to a conclusion and you would agree to stay away from him and his family so long as he does the same for you. If you were to follow such a strategy, it would be important to keep things as professional as possible, if things became anything less than cordial, you might consider simply ending the contact.

If you watched the yawn fest that was the Monday night game between the St. Louis Rams and the New York Giants, then 1. you are a braver soul than I and 2. you saw a Rams team that looked like it couldn't beat a high school team, let alone a rather weakened team like the Giants. The rams looked dysfunctional and their timing was horrible. They never seemed to be able to get their act together on offense.
Apparently, some of that was the Giants fault, and not because of any clever defensive schemes being thrown out.
No, the Rams are claiming that the Giants were faking injuries to slow down the Rams up tempo no-huddle offense. More specifically, in the first quarter when the Rams had driven down to the Giants 7 and had a short second down, two Giants players, safety Deon Grant and linebacker Jacquian Williams both just dropped to the turf. Grant in particularly looked like a fish out of water as he writhed in 'pain'.
If you ask St. Louis, it was a performance worthy of an Oscar.
"They couldn't get subbed, they couldn't line up," Rams quarterback Sam Bradford said. "Someone said, 'Someone go down, someone go down,' so someone just went down and grabbed a cramp."
On the Giants side of things, they are being adamant that no tom foolery was being had and that Grant was legitimately bothered at the time.
"Well, from my standpoint on the sideline, I thought he was cramped," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "They were in a no-huddle situation and it was a hurry-up deal. I just thought that he cramped at that time or definitely had something that was bothersome to him."
Grant ended up jogging off the field under his own power and later returned to the game showing no lingering effect of any injury. Giants safety Antoine Rolle sides with his teammate that their was a legitimate reason he dropped but said that even if he did fake it, that it would fall under the realm of 'a good teammate' if he did.
"This is the NFL, no one is dumb in this league," Rolle said on WFAN 660. "Many teams do it all the time. In my eyes as a veteran, it was an extremely smart play on their behalf if they were in fact faking."
The Rams sent the complaint to the league offices and in response, they sent out a memo to all 32 teams that faking injuries is prohibited and could lead to "fines of coaches, players, and clubs, suspensions or forfeiture of draft choices" if caught.

- County to get millions for jobs (3-31-2009)
- Poor expected to be tapped for bigger part of their incomes (3-29-2009)
If you haven't noticed it yet, look for an extra $11 a week in your paycheck, starting today, thanks to President Barack Obama and supporters in Congress.
Nearly 1 million Nevadans should start receiving extra cash as part of the president's $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In hard-hit Nevada, Democratic Rep. Dina Titus said the tax credit will "put money back in the pockets of Nevada's workers immediately."
"During this tough economic time, this boost in workers' paychecks can have a big impact on families struggling to make ends meet," Titus said.
The tax credit of $400 annually per worker or $800 for each working couple took effect as soon as the bill was signed into law in mid-February. Employers had until today to begin making the change in workers' paychecks.
Rather than a lump sum, like the $600 stimulus checks Congress gave workers last year, this credit will boost paychecks throughout the year.
Workers qualify until they earn $75,000 annually ($150,000 for couples), when the credit will begin to be phased out. The credit is not available for higher wage earners — those making $95,000 annually or $190,000 for couples.
For the remaining nine months of this year, the $400 amounts to a maximum of about $11 a week. The new credit will continue again through 2010. Spread across the entire year, however, the maximum weekly amount will fall under $8.
Four hundred dollars a year "might not seem to most people very much," Sen. Harry Reid, the majority leader, said Tuesday. "It might mean a person could buy over the year several more bags of groceries, fill your tank with gasoline quite a few extra times, maybe buy a lot of supplies for the kids, maybe even clothes for the family."
Nevadans will welcome the extra cash. The state is among the hardest hit in the recession. Unemployment stands at 10 percent. Nevada has the nation's top housing foreclosure rate, and personal bankruptcy filings are at an all-time high.
Economists say dollars given directly to those who need them most have some of the biggest bang for the buck. They create a multiplier effect as they are quickly spent in the economy.
A spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service suggests taxpayers visit the agency's Web site at www.irs.gov to estimate their withholding. You don't want to end up owing Uncle Sam next April.
The recovery bill was approved along party lines in the House, with Titus and Rep. Shelley Berkley voting in favor. Republican Rep. Dean Heller joined every single House Republican in voting no.
In the Senate, Reid voted for the bill. Republican Sen. John Ensign voted against.

OROVILLE — Painter Jon Shult left the South Bay in 2001 to become a prospector in Oroville. He was not seeking gold but beauty, and has shared rather than hoarded his discoveries.
Shult who grew up in Orland, was already familiar with the area. After high school, he moved to the Bay Area where he earned his bachelor's in art at U.C. Santa Cruz and his master's at San Jose State before settling in Oroville.
In urban cultural centers most artists must struggle to establish careers. That is even harder in rural California, although studio and living spaces are less expensive.
Shult was able to buy a Victorian Revival house in Oroville that provides him with living, teaching, painting and exhibition spaces.
In addition, the hills, mountains, streams and fields he'd known since boyhood now inspire his regional landscapes.
Shult is displaying 12 of his oils at the Bird Street Café through March 1.
Visitors will recognize Oroville's historic Lott House, the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge, and Black Butte Lake, Orland.
French Impressionist painters such as Monet, who depicted atmospheric subtleties at different times of day and seasons, inspired Shult's "broken color" technique.
In "Black Butte Lake, Orland" he uses "optical blending" in which a viewer will perceive violet from a distance when a dab of red appears next to one of blue, for example. His loose brushwork suggests wind moving through clouds and rippling the water's surface.
Visitors can see more of Shult's work at his gallery, 1360 Montgomery Street, now in its 10th year of operation.
"Some local people pass my gallery for years before venturing in," Shult said. "Even if they enter expecting photographic realism, most are pretty open-minded. They stay, look around and ask questions."
"During special events such as the Salmon Festival, I get quite a few out-of-towners coming to my gallery," he adds. "People from Oroville, Chico, and as far away as Long Beach have bought my art over the years. Most say they are drawn to my vibrant use of color."
When he first came to Oroville, Shult gave art classes at local schools. Unfortunately, those programs were cut in a nationwide trend that is causing hardships to both artists and young people.
Shult believes art is a perfect way to help children exercise their imaginations and practice self-direction, he said.
He agrees with educator John Dewey that active manipulation of the environment rather than rote learning should be the foundation of childhood education.
Shult now teaches privately at his Oroville gallery and at the Chico Art Center. He enriches his popular cartooning classes with mediums that include watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, oil pastels and even modeling clay.
He starts classes by drawing himself — with a few strokes of charcoal a dragon magically materializes.
Next, Shult demonstrates how to construct simple figures out of curved and straight lines. The kids give it a try and add simplified noses, eyes, mouths, and hairstyles.
"Children don't feel intimidated by the cartoon approach to figures," Shult said. "They can exaggerate and invent without worrying about exact anatomy.
"A child will draw big ears and a long nose and burst out laughing. They love watching characters they've drawn run through the pages of 'flip books' in a simple form of animation."
At a time when artists are becoming an endangered species, Shult's contributions to Butte County culture are commendable.
He teaches students to be makers and not just consumers. They learn how to coordinate their eyes, minds and hands and become more observant.
Shult devotes weeks and even months into painting local landscapes that quicken viewers' awareness of the beauty that surrounds them.
Stop by the Bird Street Café and Shult's gallery for some 24-carat visual gold that's free for the looking.

Participants holding protest signs awaited the beginning of a "tea party" rally held late Saturday morning near the south steps of the Kansas Statehouse.
About 65 people gathered on the Statehouse grounds late Saturday morning for a "tea party" rally held to protest the recently approved federal stimulus package and a lack of action by the Legislature regarding illegal aliens in the state. Skies were gray, and a brisk easterly wind whipped across the grounds as rally-goers gathered near the south steps, listening to speakers while holding American flags and signs expressing support for conservative political values. "It's time we take our country back," Billy Gilchrist told those on hand. Gilchrist is Topeka chapter leader for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a group focused on securing U.S. borders and coastal boundaries against unlawful entry. Residents from Wichita and the Kansas City area were among those attending the rally, which organizers said was one of many "tea party" events being held across the nation. Former Kansas Republican Party chairman Kris Kobach told rally-goers the gathering was different from the others in that participants recognized the relationship between policies put in place by President Barack Obama's administration and the influx of illegal aliens into this country. He said illegal aliens who receive amnesty — the vast majority of whom will be dependent on government — after becoming citizens will consequently vote to keep in place the political system that benefits them. Ed Hayes, Kansas and Missouri state director for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, said Saturday's rally was among events being held in the weeks leading up to April 15, when "Tax Day Tea Party" protests are scheduled nationwide. Berryton resident Joan Baskett, who took part in Saturday's rally, said Americans for Prosperity and the 912 Project plan to hold a tea party event at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, at the U.S. Post Office General Mail Facility at 1410 N.W. Gage Blvd. Tim Hrenchir can be reached at (785) 295-1184 or email@example.com.

Speaking to media persons on Tuesday,Parakala Prabhakar has presented the month wise statistics of power resources and the crisis in both the states. He said that CM Chandrababu, efficient as he is, has been successful in overcoming the power crisis with the help of the Centre and other states. He alleged that TS government lacked administrative skills.
