Rated 5 out of 5 by SWSTPTAngler Great Bow For The Money Picked this bow up in the middle of deer season last year and was very impressed. Bow is compact enough for me to sit in a small hang on stand and light enough for long trips through the woods. Shoots fast and quite at 62 pounds and shoots great groups at even out to 50 yards depending on your broadhead selection. With a few accessories added over time could be an amazing bow. Overall one of the best bows in the price range. March 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by CoastTex2000 Low end I shot this bow when i was shoping for a new one. I was attracted to the price but had to shoot it since it was the only left handed one they had. First 70 pounds try 70 tons my old bow was 80% letoff this was only 60%. The string was loud yeah its huntable but on a long shot that pop will loose everytime and lets face it im not scare to shoot 50 plus if the wind is good. Speed is good middle of the road can really damage your prey.The weight middle of the road also . I wont lie i shot big name bows and they are light as a feather. the end result still too much money for less when you could upgrade for 200 more and get what you are looking for. For a beginer this is your bow. Fast and well built but for a season archer stand clear of this one you wont be impress. February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ovrwatch diamond core RAK bow They say this is a Ready Aim Kill (RAK) bow. I don't shoot 73lb draw and neither does anybody else I know that hunts. So first thing was to reduced the draw weight to 60lbs. This obviously made the sights off so I had to adjust those as well. Also the draw length comes at 29 I am a 28 so I adjusted that as well. All in all the adjustments were easy and fast so all of this wasn't to big a deal. So now that all the adjustments that were needed are out of the way time to shoot it! First shot I was a little taken back by how loud the string stop and string slap to the stop was. You can still hunt with it don't get me wrong, it's just a little loud for my tastes. Draw was smooth as well as the break over. The break over took it from 60lbs to 23lbs so that's almost a 60% let-off. The bow grouped well with no adjustments needed left or right. At 20 yards 2 of the 3 arrows were touching with only the width of an arrow between the 2 other arrows and the third one. The Octane products are on the lower end but that's to be expected to keep the price under $500. All in all this is a nice bow, I wont be giving up my Fred Bear for this one but my daughter is already asking me for it once she can pull it back. Her Diamond is rated up to 40lbs and she wants this one once she is able to pull it back on 40lbs. January 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jerkymaster great light wieght bow I love this bow but the sight is garbage. My bow is shooting low to the left and the sight will not adjust any ore to sight it in. If u buy this bow buy a new sight asap. January 2, 2014

One of California's largest firearm stores recently added a peculiar new gun to its shelves. It requires an accessory: a black waterproof watch.
The watch's primary purpose is not to provide accurate time, though it does. The watch makes the gun think. Electronic chips inside the gun and watch communicate with each other. If the watch is within close reach of the gun, a light on the grip turns green. Fire away. No watch means no green light. The gun becomes a paperweight.
A dream of gun-control advocates for decades, the Armatix iP1 is the country's first smart gun. Its introduction is seen as a landmark event in efforts to reduce gun violence, suicides and accidental shootings. Proponents compare smart guns to automobile air bags — a transformative add-on that gun owners will demand. Gun-rights advocates are already balking, wondering what happens if the technology fails just as an intruder breaks in.
James Mitchell, the "extremely pro-gun" owner of the Oak Tree Gun Club, isn't one of the skeptics. His club's firearms shop is the only outlet in the country selling the iP1. "It could revolutionize the gun industry," Mitchell declared.
The implications for the iP1's introduction are potentially enormous, both politically and economically. (And culturally, because the gun that reads James Bond's palm print in "Skyfall" is no longer a futuristic plot twist.)
Lawmakers around the country have been intrigued by the possibilities. New Jersey passed a hotly contested law in 2002 requiring that only smart guns be sold in the state within three years of a smart gun being sold anywhere in the country. A similar measure made it through the California Senate last year, and at the federal level, Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass., also has introduced a mandate.
Although National Rifle Association officials did not respond to requests for comment about smart-gun technology, the group fiercely opposes "government mandates that require the use of expensive, unreliable features, such as grips that would read your fingerprints before the gun will fire," according to the website of its lobbying arm, the Institute for Legislative Action. "And NRA recognizes that the 'smart guns' issue clearly has the potential to mesh with the anti-gunner's agenda, opening the door to a ban on all guns that do not possess the government-required technology."
Even so, smart guns are potentially more palatable than other technological mandates, such as placing GPS tracking chips in guns, a controversial concept floated this session in the Maryland General Assembly.
The arrival of smart-gun technology also comes amid a flurry of interest in the concept from investors who think the country — following the killings at Sandy Hook Elementary and the brutal legislative battles that followed — is ready for new, innovative gun-control ideas. Last month, Ron Conway, a Silicon Valley titan and early investor in Google and Facebook, launched a $1 million X-prize-like contest for smart-gun technology.
"We need the iPhone of guns," Conway said, noting how the new iPhone 5s can be unlocked quickly with a fingerprint. "The entrepreneur who does this right could be the Mark Zuckerberg of guns. Then the venture capitalists like me will dive in, give them capital, and we will build a multibillion-dollar gun company that makes safe, smart guns."
A variety of approaches are in development. Armatix, the German company behind the iP1, uses RFID chips, which can be found on anti-theft tags attached to expensive clothing. TriggerSmart, an Irish company, also uses RFID chips, though with a ring instead of a watch. The company also has technology that would render guns inoperable if they approached electronic markers, for instance near a school.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology is using sensors to recognize grips and grasping behaviors. Kodiak Arms, a Utah company, is taking pre-orders for its Intelligun, which is unlocked with fingerprints. Other companies are using voice recognition. Yardarm, a California start-up, uses a smartphone app to notify gun owners of a weapon's movement. Users can even remotely disable their weapons.
Smart guns, advocates say, will have huge appeal to buyers. "If you have two cars and one has and air bag and one doesn't, are you going to buy the one without the air bag?" said Belinda Padilla, president of Armatix's U.S. operation. "It's your choice, but why would you do that?"
Personalizing handguns for safety is actually an old idea. In 1886, after D.B. Wesson, the co-founder of Smith & Wesson, heard about a child injured with a gun, the company introduced a revolver with a special lever that made the gun operational. The product became nothing more than a historical relic.
Over the years, the idea of making guns smart has waxed and waned until a serious effort began in the early 1990s. Stephen Teret, a public health expert at Johns Hopkins University, commissioned undergraduate engineering students to build what turned out to be a crude smart gun activated by a ring. Later in the 1990s, the federal government researched smart guns to protect police officers whose guns were taken in struggles.
In 2000, after Colt had quietly worked on smart-gun technology, Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening, D, tried and failed to pass legislation mandating smart guns in the state. His effort was lauded by then-President Bill Clinton, whose administration struck a deal with Smith & Wesson to research the technology. But the backlash by gun owners and the NRA against the company was brutal, and Smith & Wesson's business tanked.
The debate then over whether the technology was ready and reliable and whether it would actually make a difference has crossed into the current burst of interest. Some of the sharpest criticism comes from an unlikely corner — the Violence Policy Center, a staunch advocate to reduce gun violence.
Policy Center officials argue that the new technology is unlikely to stem gun homicides, which often occur between people who know each other, and that personalization will have no effect on the more than 300 million guns in circulation. The organization also questions whether the technology would deter the nearly 350,000 incidents of firearm theft per year, though some of the proposed technologies are add-ons installed on existing guns.
And perhaps most importantly, the Violence Policy Center worries that smart guns will increase the number of gun owners, because marketing around safety could sway those previously opposed to guns to make their first purchase.
"We are very skeptical of what this technology can accomplish," said Josh Sugarmann, the organization's executive director. "You're really affecting a very small portion of the gun-buying public."
Proponents of smart guns dispute the criticism. They point to studies that hint at potentially significant reductions in gun deaths, particularly high-profile ones among children. In 2010, children accounted for 9 percent of the 606 unintentional or accidental gun deaths in the United States. A smart gun, proponents say, could prevent those deaths.
As for school shootings, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study in 2003 analyzing firearms used by students in 323 shootings on school campuses found that 37 percent of the guns came from the shooter's home and 23 percent from a friend or relative. A smart gun, proponents say, could prevent those deaths.
"These guns are not going to rescue us from the 32,000 gun deaths a year," Teret said, "but they are going to materially reduce gun deaths in the United States."
The question is: How many people will buy smart guns?
There are dueling statistics on the issue. Teret and other smart-gun proponents point to a 1997 survey showing that 71 percent of Americans — 59 percent among gun owners — favored personalization of all new handguns. Guns-rights advocates, including the National Shooting Sports Foundation, point to a survey the group commissioned last year showing that only 14 percent of Americans would consider buying a smart gun.
Statistics, of course, can be interpreted many ways, and at least one smart-gun entrepreneur saw the 14 percent as a positive sign. "I thought that was actually a huge number," said Robert McNamara, co-founder of TriggerSmart, the Irish company using RFID chips. "There is no doubt that a lot of people would buy these guns if they are available."
The cost is high. Amatrix's iP1, a .22-caliber pistol, is $1,399 — plus $399 for the watch. A .40-caliber Glock handgun can be had for about $600.
The chief concern for potential buyers is reliability, with 44 percent of those polled by the National Shooting Sports Foundation saying the technology would not be reliable. A commenter in an online Glock forum explained the concern this way: "They can't even make a cellphone that works reliably when you need it, and some dumb (expletive) thinks he can make a reliable techno-gadget gun that is supposed to safeguard you in dire circumstances?"
Twenty minutes later someone responded: "You bet your life."
Teret and others point to now-commonplace safety enhancements that Americans were skeptical about at first: air bags and smoke detectors. "They thought the air bag would kill them," said Teret, who did early work on air-bag technology. "They thought it would shove them out the back window, that it would explode. It takes awhile to dispel these mythologies."
Some gun-rights champions are in surprising agreement with gun-control advocates on the technology's future.
"We think the market should decide," said Lawrence Keane, general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
Conway, out in Silicon Valley, said: "You let the free enterprise system take over. Just like everyone opted into the iPhone and abandoned the flip phone and BlackBerry, consumers will vote with their feet. We want gun owners to feel like they are dinosaurs if they aren't using smart guns."

Dr. Steger is a clear link to the past, what VT always wanted - into the ACC. Jim Weaver has played a large role in successfully transferring the dream into financial success. We now have a University President that has successfully completed a huge fund raising campaign that caps his VT legacy. Now he has a couple of legal matters to address and he retires. The AD has a debilitating disease that will likely shorten his career. So in the near future VT must hire a new President and a new AD, likely before CFB retires. They will not think as the current Admin do. Folks inside the University community assert that the new President will come from the outside not the inside. All of this adds up to - what connections do the new President and AD have to the ACC? SEC? or other conferences for that matter??
Spokesperson Larry Hincker in his comments in the past year said what the current Admin feels about SEC membership. Steger and the current leadership have no interest in moving, but times and people do change.

2013: International Year of Water Cooperation
"Water, water everywhere, only if we share"
The UN General Assembly has declared 2013 the International Year of Water Cooperation. The objective is to highlight the benefits of cooperation on water management in a world where pressures on freshwater resources are intensifying.
Working on wide-ranging initiatives related to freshwater, UNDP and its partners are actively supporting the Year.
Water is a vital resource for life and knows no boundaries. Access to clean water is the foundation for the fulfillment of basic human needs and for achieving most, if not all, of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The Year will serve to highlight successful examples of water cooperation and explore key issues including water education, water diplomacy, transboundary water management, financial cooperation, legal frameworks and the MDGs.
Water cooperation is key to poverty eradication, social equity and gender equality
Inclusive and participatory governance of water and cooperation between different user groups can help to overcome inequity in access to water. Improving access to water for drinking, hygiene and productive uses contributes to poverty eradication and to improving living conditions and educational opportunities, especially for women and children.
Water cooperation creates economic benefits
Most economic activities depend on water, either directly or indirectly. Economic returns on investing in access to water and sanitation are typically 8:1 or higher. Cooperation can lead to more efficient and sustainable use of water resources, including through joint management plans creating mutual benefits and better living standards.
Water cooperation prevents conflicts and builds peace
Access to water can be a source of a conflict, but it is also a tool for crisis prevention and peace building. Cooperation on such a practical and vital issue as water management can help overcome cultural, political and social tensions, and can build trust between different groups, regions or states.
UNDP's work around the world includes facilitating access to clean water and enhancing national and transboundary cooperation on water resources management, thus contributing to the achievement of the MDGs and other international targets.

FAA Renews Mechanics' Aviation Safety Action Program
American Airlines and Transport Workers Union of America announce ASAP renewal.
FORT WORTH, TX-- American Airlines, in conjunction with the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU), announce the FAA's renewal of the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) for American's mechanics.
American and TWU have had a program in place for 11 years and with the FAA approved renewal of the program, ASAP will be extended for two more years. The TWU/American Airlines ASAP maintenance program is the longest running in U.S. commercial aviation.
ASAP is a safety partnership organized by American, the union, and the FAA, designed to encourage employees to voluntarily report safety-related information. The reports help identify potential precursors to serious safety incidents. For the first time in the program's history, the ASAP program will now have a "Just Culture" provision that will go beyond specific incidents and explore the systems, policies and procedures that may have contributed to an event or a possible incident.
"The benefits of having ASAP programs in place for our mechanics, as well as our flight attendants, dispatchers, and pilots cannot be overstated," says Peggy Sterling, American's Vice President-Safety, Security & Environmental. "The process is an incentive for employees to disclose issues that might not otherwise come to light, which then gives the company, the FAA, and the union the opportunity to analyze and respond to potential safety issues proactively."
According to Robert Gless, the AA System Coordinator and Assistant Director of TWU's Air Transport Division, "When it comes to passenger safety and security programs we stand shoulder to shoulder with American. We are very proud that our ASAP program is a model for the entire industry."
The information gathered in the ASAP reports will be analyzed jointly by an American representative, a representative from the TWU, and the FAA in order to develop and implement effective solutions to possible safety concerns. Addressing prospective safety concerns is essential to reducing future accidents and incidents.
The program is designed for employees to report safety-related issues through a non-punitive reporting process. Participation in ASAP is voluntary and confidential.

text: Home/ About Us/ News Item Lander theatre students to stage production of a play described as inspiring and transforming October 02, 2012 Monique Sacay-Bagwell Students and faculty in Lander University's Department of Mass Communication and Theatre are collaborating on a production of the play "for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuff," a stark portrayal of the struggles and obstacles faced by women in general and black women in particular. The play, written by Ntozake Shange, made its debut on Broadway and off-Broadway in 1976. The following year, it won an Obie Award for distinguished production and was nominated for a Tony Award as best play. It has since been adapted as a book, a television film and the 2010 motion picture "For Colored Girls." Directed by Monique Sacay-Bagwell, professor of theatre at Lander, the play is described by critics as "passionate and fearless." It is a choreopoem composed of music and movement woven around 20 poems dealing with domestic violence, abortion, love, loneliness, strength and other emotional issues. Sacay-Bagwell said the content is for mature audiences and children will not be admitted. The cast includes students Kristen Gist, of Union; Beonka Edwards, of Greenwood; Naja King, of Hopkins; and Sharae Walker and Amber Rae Weston, of Anderson. Eric Johnson of Mauldin will appear in the role of Everyman. The play will open on Wednesday, Oct. 3, and run through Saturday, Oct. 6. Performances will be held in Room A-220, the Greenroom, in Lander's Josephine B Abney Cultural Center, beginning at 8 p.m. weeknights and at 3 p.m. on Saturday. Seating is limited and, while admission is free, a ticket is required for entry. The Cultural Center box office will open at 5 p.m. for the 8 p.m. performances and at 2:30 for the Saturday matinee. Tickets will be limited to one per person.

Believe it or not, there's someone out there who doesn't think the Indiana Pacers are coming apart at the seams.
"Everybody goes through this," Spurs guard Tony Parker said last week after San Antonio manhandled Indiana, 103-77, on the Pacers' home court. "I'm not worried about them. They'll still make it to the Eastern Conference finals and they'll still play Miami."
Parker is somewhat right. From time to time, every championship contender has a stretch during a season where they look ordinary. Addled. Even awful at times.
Last month, the Miami Heat lost three in a row and seven of 11, including a home contest to Denver and a visit to New Orleans after which Chris Bosh plainly said, "We suck."
The Oklahoma City Thunder welcomed back Russell Westbrook as they came out of the All-Star break and immediately lost three straight and five of eight, including a home loss to Cleveland and a road setback to the L.A. Lakers. The Houston Rockets were a pedestrian 8-8 in December, losing at home and on the road to Sacramento, at Utah and being blasted at Oklahoma City and Indiana.

Former Bugandan PM: National Land Policy Needed
Uganda needs a national land policy that ends legalized seizures of territory, former Bugandan Prime Minister (Katikkiro) Daniel Muliika tells a UCLA audience in this podcast.
Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2008
Daniel Muliika, the former prime minister, or Katikkiro, of the kingdom of Buganda (2005–07) summarized the history of Uganda's land policies and land "wrangles" for a UCLA audience on Feb. 25, 2008, and urged a change in policy by the central government. A controversial land bill is currently stalled in the Ugandan parliament. Buganda is the largest of several traditional kingdoms within the country; in recent years they have resumed some of their functions.
The lecture was sponsored by the Globalization Research Center–Africa at UCLA.

The departure of Beda Johnson as director of Columbia County's Convention and Visitors Bureau was painful and uncomfortable.
Painful, because she was the only director the fledgling organization has known, and because she was such a tirelessly enthusiastic booster of Columbia County. And it was uncomfortable, because everyone involved remained so tight-lipped, at least publicly, about the philosophical differences that led to her departure. It's difficult to fix problems if they're kept secret.
There's something a little disappointing about the notice for Thursday's Augusta Regional Transportation Study, or ARTS, meeting:
Far down in the announcement is a sentence that the plan is "an update to the ARTS Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan adopted in 2003."
We haven't exactly been overwhelmed with the results from that previous plan. So who's to say this update won't simply gather another nine years of dust?
Actually, it's the citizens and taxpayers who can decide.
Wherever she is now, Melissa Chase certainly has to count herself lucky.
The former Harlem High School PE teacher was facing a 10-year prison term for her sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student when Chase's conviction was thrown out on appeal. The state Supreme Court in 2009 agreed that the flawed law allowed consent as a defense in such cases.
Because the student was old enough to be a willing participant, Chase was free to go.
It's getting to be almost as predictable as pine pollen, and every bit as ugly.
Every year, as the warm days of spring arrive, some kids start looking for mischief or just an easy exit from class.
That's when the bomb threats begin. The latest batches have had similar twists: Missives of mayhem written in the stalls of girls' bathrooms at Evans High School and Columbia Middle School.
Monday's "lactivist" protest on the front lawn of the Columbia County Justice Center certainly stirred passions.
Versions of the story appearing on Web sites for The News-Times and The Augusta Chronicle were heavily debated through reader comments.
The event wasn't so much protest as it was an effort to raise awareness of an issue: The fear of breast-feeding mothers that they'll be arrested if they nurse their children in public. It was part of a statewide "Nurse-In," held in locations where it could get the most visibility.
The images of destruction from the record-setting number of tornados that blew through the Midwest and Southeast this past week are hard to fathom, and heart-wrenching.
More than three dozen people were killed in states from Illinois to Virginia, and through Alabama and Georgia. As the worst of the storm speared Friday evening through west Georgia, the line of the approaching front spanned all the way into our community.
With so much crime drama inexplicably taking place this past week in Columbia County, the Feb. 24 conviction and subsequent life sentence of Thomas Bradford for the murder of Raymond Lee might seem like ancient history.
Sure, there's still a multi-million-dollar civil suit pending in the case. And no one would be surprised if appeals of Bradford's murder conviction are forthcoming. But before the dust settles, there's one nagging aspect of the case that shouldn't escape comment.
There is a right way to use a gun. There is a wrong way to use a gun.
Michael Starnes did it the right way. Monday morning, he saw a suspicious man walking around his neighbor's home. Starnes got his gun, confronted the burglar and held him at gunpoint until Columbia County deputies arrived to make an arrest.
More good neighbors like Starnes would make the world a far safer place.
Thomas Bradford did it the wrong way. One man is dead as a result, and Bradford likely will spend the rest of his life in prison.
It's enough to make you shake your head. Or your fist.
We've all heard this week about the five teens calling themselves the "Charlie Rape Gang." Members of the "gang" briefly were suspended from Lakeside Middle School recently after complaints, and social media postings, that they had been corralling unsuspecting fellow students, holding them down and pretending to "rape" them.
Ha, ha. Really funny.
One of the common excuses used by non-voters is that it isn't convenient. Elections are held on Tuesdays, and work schedules get in the way.
The ability to vote by absentee long ago debunked that rationale. In addition, the state of Georgia in recent years further undermined that excuse by instituting early and advance voting days that stretched elections out for nearly a month before each election.

What are Angioedema?
Angioedema is a type of swelling of the skin and mucous membranes that generally occurs in soft tissue of the skin and mucous membranes. Similar to hives which affect the surface layer of the skin, angioedema causes swollen welts in the deeper layers of the skin and tends to affect areas such as such as the face, eyelids, mouth, lips, tongue, hands, feet, and genitals.
Types of angioedema
There are two types of angioedema, allergic and hereditary angioedema.
Allergic angioedema is usually triggered by some allergy or irritant and often occurs together with hives. While most cases of allergic angioedema are not serious and tend to disappear between a few minutes and a few days, the condition can be quite distressing, causing discomfort, self-consciousness, pain and itchiness On rare occasions where angioedema occurs in the throat or mouth, normal breathing or swallowing can become difficult and airways may become altogether blocked. In situations like this, angioedema is life-threatening and must be treated as a medical emergency.
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) on the other hand is a rare, inherited and more serious form of angioedema that is not associated with allergies or hives. This genetic condition often causes recurrent attacks of angioedema which amongst other areas, commonly affects the lining of the gastrointestinal tract causing severe pain. HAE is a potentially fatal disease with a mortality rate as high as 30% as a result of upper airway swelling.

x = 4 is the answer, if you take the positive square roots. There may be other answers if you take the negative square root on one or both sides. I got that by trial and error, not by using algebra. The algebra got too messy.

Kourtney Kardashian Shows Off "Newest Member of the Family"
Another Kardashian baby? Well, sorta.
It looks like Kourtney Kardashian and her brood welcomed a new kitten to the fold over the holidays. Sharing a pic of her adorable little handful of fur on Instagram, Kourt announced "the newest member of the family" to her instagram followers on Christmas day.
As the resident earth mother of her klan, we certainly wouldn't be surprised if Kourtney Kardashian had a third baby on the way (there have certainly been rumors at least once a month this year, but no bump in sight as of yet). However, this latest little one has four legs, tabby print and an adorably inquisitive face. We're guessing little Mason and Penelope are thrilled to have a new playmate!
Here's hoping this new baby fares better than the last kitten to join the Kardashian family. Last year, sister Kim received a white teacup Persian kitten named Mercy from now-fiancé Kanye West. (Kim later gave primary custody to a friend after discovering she had a severe allergy) However, after four months, the poor little fluffball tragically died of a cancer-like stomach virus.
On that total Debbie Downer note, uh... welcome to the family, baby kitty!

The 17-year-old was charged with second-degree domestic violence and third-degree burglary, both felonies, according to a report from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office.
Chief Deputy Matthew Wade said deputies received a call Saturday morning about a domestic dispute on Martin Luther King Drive in Hobson City. Deputies reportedly discovered the teen's mother had been hit repeatedly in the head with a steel pipe and the teen had fled, Wade said.
Wade said the back of the victim's head was bleeding and she was taken to Regional Medical Center. Wade was unsure of the mother's condition Monday morning, but believed she was expected to recover from her injuries.
Deputies later discovered the suspect had forced open the door to an abandoned apartment on Snow Circle in Hobson City and they apprehended him, the chief deputy said.
The suspect told deputies he got into an argument with his mother over a cell phone, Wade said.
Wade said the teen was charged as an adult and was in the Calhoun County Jail this morning. Bond is set at $15,000. A court appearance is scheduled for June 20.
The Star is withholding the identity of the suspect because of his age.

December 31, 2012
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A higher education nonprofit representing trustees and alumni is seeking an investigation by the U.S. Department of Education into an accreditation agency's decision to put the University of Virginia on warning for its failed attempt to fire its president last summer.
The American Council of Trustees and Alumni contends the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Colleges had no basis for issuing the warning and overstepped its role as an accrediting agency when it put U.Va. on warning Dec. 11 for its messy bid to oust President Teresa Sullivan.
The U.Va. warning was issued Dec. 11 by the accreditation agency based on governance issues.
The accrediting commission did not immediately respond to telephone messages and emails from The Associated Press.

Negative Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at SHI International in January 2014.
Interview Details Fast process. Applied and had a phone interview within two days of applying. Then invited to an in person interview which was scheduled a week after phone interview. Final decisions where made within 5 days of formal interview. They have a high employee turnover rate, so they are always hiring new people.
Interview Question – What are your career plans for the next 5 years? Answer Question
No Offer
Neutral Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at SHI International in April 2013.
Interview Details The initial interview (via phone) was with HR. We reviewed the job description and expectations, no unusual questions. Interview #2 (via phone) was with a Regional Manager. No unusual questions except the job description changed. Interview #3 (via phone) was with the Regional Manager and a National Manager. Once again, the job description changed.
Interview Question – Prior to the 3rd interview, I was asked to prepare several items. Considering my level of experience I found some of this unusual.
2 Business References
Written Communication
2 Writing Samples (you can delete or block the recipient) – Should be actual emails that you have sent to someone
• Customer Communication where you introduce yourself and/or your current company (Prospect or non-customer today)
• Vendor Communication that shows you understand how important our partners are to our business
Research/Initiative/Understanding of the Territory
• Number of Municipalities in each state - How they are organized
• Websites that will be helpful at finding prospect accounts and customers information
• Working in the Government space, there is quite a bit of legislation/policies/agendas that agencies –cities and towns are now required to abide to. For many of these policies there is an IT based solution. Please pick one of these new initiatives that could be an avenue to sell hardware, software, or professional services. Detail the products or vendors you would approach to work with you , how you would engage them, and put together a quick presentation that you might deliver to the client to sell them on the solution.
• Create a list of top 10 accounts that you would target as your "big accounts" to prospect and sell to. List at least one initiative they have going on over the next 12 months that you see SHI can assist with
6 Month Plan – What do you think it will take to be successful in this territory?
• Should include your Daily/Monthly/Quarterly Goals for yourself – CALLS – APPOINTMENT – QUOTES.
• Should include your Business Needs from SHI to accomplish these Goals Answer Question

Very Easy Interview
The process took a day - interviewed at SHI International in July 2010.
Interview Details Started with a basic review of resume and skills over the phone. They called me in for a face to face interview a few days later. During this interview we again reviewed the resume. They described the workings of the company and what the job would entail. Went over any questions that i had. After this I was told to answer 5 basic questions on a computer that ensured i knew the basics of the business world and something about shi.

Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took a day - interviewed at SHI International in April 2009.
Interview Details The interview process is very direct on technical problem solving and approach. I was presented with a few technical issues and asked how I would solve them. This is very different from most companies today which use behavioral interview. One observation is that the employees feel like a big family.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A multi-vehicle wreck shut down Interstate 85 northbound in northeast Charlotte on Friday afternoon.
The accident occurred just prior to West Mallard Creek Church Road around 4 p.m. and involved three cars, including a motorcycle.
Two people are hurt, according to medical officials. One victim has life-threatening injuries while a second victim has potentially life-threatening injuries.
(Click here for photos from the scene)
Three of five lanes reopened at 4:30 p.m., but traffic remained backed up for miles. All five lanes reopened around 4:50 p.m.
It's unclear what caused the wreck.

This year we'll be having Thanksgiving with my (Anglo) family, so I won't be making Panes con Pavo, (Salvadoran Turkey Sandwiches), which I like to do sometimes. That's okay though because this special meal is typically made for Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve in El Salvador – We will have to wait a little longer and have it then.
Here's the recipe so you can make it whenever you'd like.
Note: This recipe was adapted from "Pavo Salvadoreño" at Whats4Eats.com. Over the years I have simplified my method to the recipe below. If you want a recipe that is closer to authentic, (but uses many more ingredients), go check it out.
Panes Con Pavo/Panes Con Chumpe (Salvadoran Turkey Sandwiches)
First you need to cook the chumpe or chompipe! (Those are Salvadoran words for "turkey".) Note: You can use a chicken, but if you do, you will need to halve the other ingredients in this recipe as well as the cooking time, or else use two chickens.
1 medium-sized turkey defrosted (giblets discarded)
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce ("Salsa Perrins")
52 ounces (two 26 ounce jars) of your favorite mild chunky salsa
1/2 cup white cooking wine
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup "Relajo" Salvadoran spice mixture (difficult to find but necessary for the recipe)
1. Wash the turkey with cold water. Pat dry. Season the inside and outside of the turkey with salt and pepper.
2. Mix mustard and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl, then rub the mixture all over the outside of the turkey. Refrigerate uncovered for about 12 hours.
3. Put the turkey, (breast side down), in a roasting pan on the lowest rack of the oven. Cook for 1 hour at 350°F.
4. Flip the turkey breast side up. Add the salsa, white wine and relajo spice mixture including achiote molido (ground annatto) to the roasting pan, on and around the turkey. Cook for approximately 2 more hours until cooked through. (Make sure you spoon some of the salsa and liquid over the turkey every 20 minutes or so to keep it moist. You can also cover the turkey with foil to keep it from browning too much.)
5. Remove the turkey to cool.
6. Make the sauce: Add the liquid and salsa from the roasting pan to a blender and puree. Pour salsa into a saucepan. (If too thick, you can add water to thin – but I have never needed to do this.) Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until slightly thickened. Strain through a sieve if your blender didn't catch everything. Season with salt and pepper if needed. When sufficiently cooled and easy enough to handle, you can pour into a cleaned ketchup or salad dressing bottle for easy use.
(Note: You can make this recipe without the relajo but it's best if you can find it, [or make it yourself] because it adds a very unique Salvadoran flavor.)
7. The turkey, when sufficiently cooled, can be sliced and then served as sandwiches. This is how we eat it. Use "bolillo" bread rolls, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato slices, onion, cucumber, radishes, the sauce you made, or any other combination that appeals to you.
(update) Note: Apparently (see comments) having watercress, also known as "berro" in Spanish, on the sandwich, makes it much more authentic!
(update) 1/2/2013 – This recipe has been slightly edited and better photos added. Enjoy!
(update) 11/28/2013 – This recipe has been slightly edited and better photos added yet again.
Posted on November 7, 2010, in Culture, food/drink, holiday, recipes, Salvadoreños. Bookmark the permalink. 15 Comments.
Watercress is a traditional dressing/ingredient on the sandwich itself. Don't ask me why because I find it bitter. :)
Is that how you say berro in english..watercress?!?!?
Definitely a staple! Not panes con pavo if no berro!
My mom makes the salsa de tomate herself with tomatoes and lots of yummy spices!
For our family panes con pavo is our Christmas dinner!
Now I am so hungry :D
that looks REALLY good, I will be trying that recipe for sure
Bitterness in watercress helps play down the turkey or chicken deep after taste since the seasoning is not so strong as mexican cuisine. If you were to use strong peppers or spices, the turkey would lose its distinctive flavor and it would become just another chicken. Cheers.

DISNEY┬'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Plays Omaha's Orpheum 6/22-27
Disney's Beauty and the Beast, the award-winning worldwide smash hit Broadway musical, presented locally by Omaha Performing Arts and Broadway Across America, is coming to Omaha. Produced by NETworks Presentations, this elaborate theatrical production will come to life on stage at the Orpheum Theater, Tuesday, June 22 through Sunday, June 27, 2010.
Tickets for Disney's Beauty and the Beast range in price from $25 to $65 and go on sale Friday, April 23. They can be purchased at the Ticket Omaha Box Office in the Holland Performing Arts Center, 13th and Douglas streets, Omaha, Neb; online at TicketOmaha.com; or by calling 402-345-0606. For group sales call 402-661-8516 or toll-free 866-434-8587.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast features the animated film's Academy Award®-winning score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, with additional songs with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. The book is written by Linda Woolverton.
The original creators of the Broadway production are together again for this new touring production. The musical is directed by Rob Roth and choreographed by Matt West, with costume design by Ann Hould-Ward (Tony Award® winner for her work on Disney's Beauty and the Beast), lighting design by Natasha Katz, scenic design by Stanley A. Meyer, sound design by John Petrafesa Jr. and music supervision by Michael Kosarin.
"It has been wonderful to bring the entire original design team back together to work on this new production of Beauty and the Beast," Director Rob Roth said. "As a director, it is rare to have the opportunity to revisit your work fifteen years later. Hopefully I've grown and developed as an artist, along with my collaborators, and we can bring 15 years of experience to this new production."
Roth said: "We have remained very close as a team over the years of producing the show around the world, and it has been so much fun getting together to re-explore and re-invent the show for this new NETworks tour. The theme of 'Beauty' is about seeing past the exterior into the heart of someone, and this is reflected in the design for the show, which is about transparency and layers, seeing past one thing and into another."
Disney's Beauty and the Beast is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast has become an international sensation that has played to over 35 million people worldwide in 21 countries.
Omaha Orpheum Theater performances are Tuesday through Sunday, June 22 through June 27, 2010. Show times are: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. and matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. For tickets go to www.ticketomaha.com. For additional information go to www.omahaperformingarts.org or visit www.BeautyAndTheBeastOnTour.com.
