Leaders of Wichita's aircraft unions say they feel misled by Boeing's decision to leave the Air Capital by the end of 2013.
"It's a sad day," said Midwest SPEEA Director Bob Brewer. He spoke minutes after the aerospace giant informed its 2160 local employees.
"It was rather quiet in there this morning," said Brewer. "A lot of people feared the worst and it happened."

Brewer said Wichita is now competing with other cities and states that are trying to lure away work. He disagreed with Boeing's contention that labor costs in Wichita are too high.
"What's killing this plant -- it's the overhead costs, it's not the labor. It's not the benefits. It's sure not the resources. We've got the greatest people in the world right here in Wichita," Brewer said.
IAM President Steve Rooney said he believes the research Boeing did about Wichita is flawed.
"I believe it could have been much better and had more input and influence from the people that build this product every day," he said.
Rooney said Boeing used Wichita employees to train people in Oklahoma City and San Antonio and then sent the jobs there.
Union leaders had no idea what type of phase out plan Boeing is considering.

Well update, I know I asked you guys about rolling over and now She's been crawling/sitting and trying to stand for about a month. And I suppose this could go in baby gear forum too.
Anyways my daughter stands/leans on things and I was wondering if anyone knows of head gear I could put on her to protect her head. If she falls she always falls backwards and just bonks her head, or if she's leaning on a chair and slips she'll smack her face. I know this is probably normal and nothing to worry about, but If you do know of anything helmet like I'd love to know!
I don't know of headwear for this. I'd just be near by when she is up and about but that is hard to do! Somehow they make it to adulthood!
She's gotten better mainly falling on her but, I just went to the dr and he said they hit their head a lot, but that's just growing up..so I guess I'm just a worry wart lol thanks!

Summary of No Way to Kill a Lady Summary of No Way to Kill a Lady Reviews for No Way to Kill a Lady An Excerpt from No Way to Kill a Lady
Not much is going right these days for once rich, now impoverished Nora Blackbird—what with her lover under house arrest and her best friend in the slammer. Then Nora and her sisters receive word of a million-dollar inheritance....
Great-aunt Madeleine Blackbird has died in a volcanic eruption on an Indonesian island and left her fabulous Bucks County estate to the three Blackbird sisters. But when Nora and her scandal-ridden sisters, Libby and Emma, go to claim their windfall, they find the house in decay and all of their aunt's to-die-for treasures gone. They also find a woman's body....
Nora feels compelled to seek out the truth, but even with help from her mobster boyfriend, Mick Abruzzo, who provides distractions both dark and delightful, solving this case proves challenging. Relatives are circling to claim a share of Madeleine's property, the suspect list is growing, and Nora's wild and wacky sisters are adding one surprise after another. It's enough to put Nora's couture undies in a serious twist!

The Venice-based bakery cultivates a wild yeast that triples fermentation time, giving nutrients and vitamins ample room to grow. And glutenphobes take note: It also makes Red Bread much easier to digest than regular bread. Owners Rose and David Lawrence source local, organic ingredients and change the menu seasonally. Current selections include Russian black bread, beer baguettes, and roasted garlic loaves that will curl your toes. Artisanal preserves (strawberry basil, melon spiked with champagne) and sweets (chocolate bacon croissants, chili pepper marshmallows) also impress. Order on the website, and if you don't live within the delivery zone, pick it up that Sunday. Intently charity-minded, the Lawrences donate 5 percent of each sale to the L.A. Food Bank. Which means they're worth your dough. Available at thebreadisred.com, $5-$25. Minimum order is $20. Photo: Courtesy of Red Bread

Miley Cyrus is known more for being ratchet lately than anything else but even Miley must know enough to use precautions when she's having a good time with her latest boy toy, right?
Well, according to a new report, it appears that the singer's recent hospitalization might not be because of the flu but instead because she contracted an STD from her producer boyfriend, Mike Will Made It. Who would date a guy with a name like that in the first place?
Media TakeOut is claiming that the real reason Miley is on antibiotics is because she is ill from this mysterious STD, not the flu as her camp is claiming.
A friend of Miley's (Diane Martel @DianeMartelOff) is even going on Twitter and saying how "disgusting" Mike Will Made It is. So, what's the deal? Is Miley Cyrus infected or is she really sick with the flu? What do you think?
Update: 8:48pm
Today, Mike WiLL clears the confusion by sharing the text conversation he had with Martel (see above). During the conversation, you can see Martel say that disgusting is actually a slang word for good and its a compliment. She also took to Twitter to clarify.
@DJHOTWIRE757601 disgusting is a term meaning "INCREDIBLE" "HOT"
— DIANEMARTEL (@DIANEMARTELOFF) April 16, 2014
@DJHOTWIRE757601 disgusting is a term meaning "INCREDIBLE" "HOT"
— DIANEMARTEL (@DIANEMARTELOFF) April 16, 2014
Now we know that if someone calls you disgusting, they're actually saying you're hot.

Chris Brown's misdemeanor assault trial begins Thursday at D.C. Superior Court, only a few blocks from the White House, but a conviction there is the least of his concerns.
"He should have a legitimate concern that his probation could be revoked in his Los Angeles case," said Jonathan Franklin, a prominent Los Angeles criminal defense attorney. "A person does not have to be found guilty of the new charge in order to trigger a probation violation hearing.
"A court can find that someone did not obey all laws during the term of their probation simply because they were arrested on new charges, and since the burden of proof is much lower in probation violation hearings, it is easier for the court to find that he has violated his probation terms," Mr. Franklin said. "Furthermore, probation violation hearings are decided by the court. There is no jury to make ultimate determination of guilt or innocence."

Elle has reached the threshold where she knows about things like Wish Lists for Santa. When she was younger, I naively believed that I could, through fastidious teaching of consumerist morals, steer her clear of desiring useless crap. She will only play with non-toxic, not-made-in-China, Certified Green, hand-crafted, hand-painted, made from sustainable sources, and not packaged-in-plastic toys, I vowed to myself – back when she was barely a toddler and an empty cardboard box and a couple of nesting Tupperware bowls would hold her interest as readily as one of those expensive eco-snob toys.
Well, either I failed at impressing upon her the value of toy shelf simplicity, or it's just plain impossible to make your kid eat oatmeal when there are Froot Loops and cherry Danishes on the breakfast buffet. I'm up against a formidable adversary: toy companies employ cunning, often outright obnoxious advertising techniques to lure the pure of heart towards the dingy morass of dolls that wet their diapers, and play sets that encourage you to "Collect all 586 pieces!"
Elle has added two of these kinds of companies' wares to her Christmas list. I have seen the commercials myself, and while I couldn't tell what Lalaloopsy or Squinkies were, or what they professed to do, the pig-tailed, pink-frilled little girls who played with them on our television screen appeared to be having the time of their lives. (And their theme songs are so darn catchy!)
So performing the expected duty of all American mothers on Cyber Monday, I navigated my way to these companies' websites – Elle's Christmas List in hand – to fulfill my parental obligation to purchase more things she will be thrilled to receive on Christmas morning, then promptly forget about.
This is what I learn about Lalaloopsy, the number-one selling doll in 2011: "Lalaloopsy are rag dolls that magically come to life from the fabric used to make them. They live in a colorful silly world! Sew Magical! Sew Cute!"
So… a $25 rag doll.
Meanwhile, I get this from the Squinkies blog: "OMG! We couldn't be more excited to announce that the Squinkies Adventure Mall Surprize Play Set has been nominated for a Toy of the Year (TOTY) Award! The TOTY Awards are the 'Oscars' for the Toy industry – honoring the most outstanding toys to hit the marketplace."
Most outstanding toy to hit the marketplace! Wow! What does it do?
"This is three sets in one: a mall with toy store, clothing store, and mini mart; an amusement park with roller coaster and light-up, musical ferris wheel; and a "water" park with slide and café. It comes with 11 accessories and eight exclusive Squinkies with containers. Kids can add other Squinkies play sets and Squinkies characters, sold separately."
So… a $45 miniature mall, where my daughter can pretend to buy things, with her collection of tiny squishy figurines, of which there are hundreds more to buy.
To be on a Toy of the Year Award list, wouldn't it seem that a company would at least need to spell "surprise" correctly?
My finger hovers over the "Add to Cart" button. Best selling doll of 2011…Toy of the Year Award list for 2012…they must be good toys if so many people are buying them, right?
My focus shifts from the computer screen to the living room. It's like a graveyard of forgotten toys: half-dressed dolls crumpled into corners, plastic figurines kicked under the baseboard, play set parts orphaned beneath the art table.
I can't do it. Not yet. It will be Squinkies and Lalaloopsy this year, and what next year? And the year after? And the year after that? The beauty of a 4-year-old is that although she's reached the age at which she knows about things like Wish Lists for Santa, she will also forget by tomorrow what she put on that wish list.

Premier League
December 3, 2011
- FTFT1Newcastle
- FTFT2Blackburn
- FTFT3Man City
West Brom1
- FTFT5Tottenham
- FTFT6Wigan
- FTFT7Aston Villa
Man Utd0
A walk in the park for Fergie's men and probably the easiest three points they will ever pick up on the road. Villa had one chance and it was squnadered by Emile Heskey. None of them looked up for it or imbibed with any energy at all. Work to do for McLeish, a United back to stingy defending and 1-0 wins.
FULL TIME Manchester United cruise to three points after a terrible Villa performance, a few boos are audible from those who are still in the ground as the whistle goes. United reclaim second from Spurs and sit five points behind rivals Man City.
A few pumped balls into the box as Villa try in vain to create something. United break downfield, Nani shoots over the bar and that should be that. McLeish braced for boos.
United heading for a third consecutive 1-0 win away from home. This has been easier than they could ever have imagined.
Three minutes added as a Heskey shot on goal goes out for a throw. He did slip, in fairness.
United break and Welbeck sticks the ball in the net but Rooney delayed the pass too long and his chum had strayed offside.
Giggs clears a Bannan cross at the far post as Heskey trieds to turn it goalwards.
Bent runs into Vidic amid half-hearted claims for a penalty.
Great football from Rooney as he plays a one-two with Carrick, kills the fierce return pass instantly and in the same motion fires over the bar with his left foot. Would have been some goal.
Great jinking run from Welbeck as he gets into the area and triesd to dance down the byline, eventually he is crowded out. Rooney, who was in the middle, not impressed.
Warnock is down for Villa but gingerly gets to his feet. Bent has touched the ball 20 times in the game and not once in Man Utd's penalty area.
Bannan's free kick sails harmlessly over everyone in the box and out for a goal kick.
Vidic gives the referee a long hard stare as he is penalised for a aerial clash with Heskey.
Nani hands off to Welbeck who gets into the box but delays his cross long enough for Dunne to come across and block.
A poor cross from Giggs on his right foot when he had decent space down the right.
Makes way for Welbeck that should have read. This game has turned my brain to mush.
A smattering of boos and light applause as Young makes way for Welbeck.
Giggs feeds Young on the left but his shot is right at Guzan. Then as Villa try to build the referee inadvertently backheels to Warnock.
An official attendance of 40,000. Judging by the noise on offer, you could be mistaken for thinking there were about 40 people there.
Another chance! Dunne gets the ball back in the box and Collins' header forces Lindegaard to tip over.
Lindegaard comes out to punch the free kick clear. Rooney can't prevent the corner. Heskey gets a head on it but get get it on target.
Evra ctaches Albrighton with an arm. His eyes were on the ball but still a foul. Villa can load the box.
Young has a pop but drags the ball wide of the post.
Valencia crosses but Villa manage to clear.
A big concern for Villa outside their weak performance has been the total lack of gusto from the stands. Fans seem completely resigned to being beaten and dominated by United.
At last, a chance for Villa! Dunne flicks on and Heskey heads it over the bar from about three yards out. Tight angle but still, should have hit the target.
A bit better from Villa as they get balls into the box, Albrighton keeps it alive and Agbonlahor's volley takes a flick behind for a corner.
A cross to the back post finds Heskey but his header is woeful - takes the pace off the ball and Lindegaard trots out to get it.
Rooney finds Young but he is offside as he slots a ball across the face.
At least Heskey will give them an added physical presence. Hopefully he'll offer Bent some company.
And for United Ryan Giggs has come on for Rio Ferdinand. Phil Jones drops back to centre half.
That's the end for Jenas, Emile Heskey is on. Can he get the party started?
Another odd one too, there he was happily jogging along before he just fell to the floor looking back as it he had trodden on something untoward. What is going on?
Another injured player on the turf - Jenas this time. I forgot he was still on.
A cross from Agbonlahor takes a flick off Carrick but Lindegaard claims it low down.
Chris Herd, who has largely been a passenger, comes off for Petrov. Surprised he didn't start to be honest.
Change for Villa.
Excellent tackle from first Warnock then Jones as Rooney and then Jones tried to charge into the box. McLeish throws his arms in the air in disgust.
Nothing in the first ten minutes of the second half to suggest Villa will emerge from this slumber and get the crowd going. The apathy on the field and in the stands is tangible.
Chance for Nani as Valencia ghosts past Warnock and finds him. Another Dunne block.
Suspected ankle ligament damage for Hernandez. A lengthy spell out it sounds like.
Bannan tries a shot on goal that is blocked. At least he tried.
Warnock gets forward but his poor cross sets United away until Valencia's terrible pass means Agbonlahor can get down the left and win a corner.
Former Villa boss John Gregory is in the stands. He manages a team in Kazakhstan appraently.
Lovely turn from Rooney to get past Bannan, then a shot which he claims took a deflection. He's right, looking at the replay.
Space for Valencia on the right - he finally gets his cross in but Dunne clears.
A nothing pass from Bannan is so misplaced it almost counts as a shot.
Off we go again...
And a reminder that you can have a read of our Premier League wrap right here.
Manchester United will reclaim second from Spurs if they win at Villa. Keep up to date with all the movers and shakers with ourlive Premier League table.
HALF TIME A series of corners for United as the half comes to an end. McLeish needs a radical rethink at half time. United haven't broken into sweat and Villa fans boo their team as the whistle goes.
Jones goes down dramatically at the merest touch from Warnock. Free kick 30 yards out and central.
James Collins has lost a boot - currently clutching it in his right hand while United knock the ball around.
Eight added minutes at the end of the half.
United on cruise control here. Its a stroll for them at present.
Collins takes out Young this time. United free kick in the centre circle.
Young gets bundled off the ball by Hutton then swipes at Albrighton in frustration.
Lindegaard comes out to punch as Bannan's cross heads towards Bent.
Eight touches for Bent in 40 minutes of football. Not good enough.
This will be Guzan's second Premier League appearance. Given hobbles off. Left hamstring it looks like.
Looks like Brad Guzan is going to replace Given, who tugged a muscle during that clearance.
Villa have ten minutes to put some hard yards in if they are to avoid a half time hairdryer from McLeish.
Given comes charging out as Young tries to get onto a long ball over the top from Jones. Good goalkeeping.
Looks like his shoulder took a bit of a bump. He's back on now.
Darren Bent is prostrate after falling awkwardly after an aerial challenge.
A thumper from Valencia flashes over Given's crossbar.
Phil Jones celebrates his opener
Villa claim a push from Smalling on Agbonlahor. Nothing doing from the referee.
Risky at the back from Jenas as he leaves a backpass short and Jones nearly blocks Given's clearance.
Bannan gets hold of an Agbonlahor cross but runs out of space to get it across goal. A bit better from Villa.
A rare touch of the ball from Darren Bent. Why don't Villa play more to his strengths?
After Villa were routed by Spurs Alex McLeish admitted they hadn't laid a glove on their opponents. He'll be saying the same after this if Villa don't get themselves going.
Superb move from United as Rooney finds Valencia who crosses for Nani but Given saves his header.
Albrighton penalised for a foul on Evra - gets a shred of the ball but a foul. Those two had a right old tussle in this game last year.
Randy Lerner looking rueful in the stands.
Dunne wins the header and Herd rises to help it towards goal but Lindegaard is out.
Hopefully that will shake McLeish into action - Villa need something to get them going. They win a corner now.
It had been coming and from Nani's cross Jones finishes well from seven yards out. Good volley.
GOAL Jones scores for United!
Vidic wins the header and Smalling turns to shoot but Warnock and Dunne combine to make a vital block.
Space for Valencia on the right side, he tries to drill the ball across the face but Warnock concedes a corner.
Villa look like they are already settling for a 0-0 draw.
Rooney and Dunne battle for the ball on the right wing. The defender wins the duel of the well-built duo.
Nani jinks past a few players and Jones has a pop but it is wild and well over the bar.
Very little from Villa as an attacking force yet.
A good five-minute stoppage so the half will run to 50 minutes I presume. Nani gets through the middle but Collins tidies up.
Nani looks like he has moved up to partner Rooney with Valencia going right.
Applause for Chicharito as he is taken off and Valencia trots on.
Looks like it will be Valencia who gets the nod to come on as United change shape. Hernandez still to be loaded onto the stretcher.
This looks bad for Hernandez - a stretcher is coming on and Welbeck is preaparing himself. A big blow for the striker and his club.
Oh dear, bad news for Man Utd as Hernandez twists his ankle and sinks to the turf. No-one was near him.
A slow start to the game. Lots of scrappiness in midfield.
Dale Johnson informs me Manchester United haven't scored more than one goal in a Premier League game for two months.
Villa at least getting some players up in support of Bent as his flick on nearly finds Agbonlahor.
Ashley Young gets a round of boos as he tries to latch onto a long ball.
No Charles N'Zogbia for Villa who is training with the reserves after breaching club rules. Can only guess what that means.
A minute's applause for Gary Speed to be held before kick-off, as has happened at every top flight game this weekend.
It has been a frantic afternoon of Premier League action,why not have a read of our wrap to catch up on anything you missed.
Sir Alex Ferguson prefers Anders Lindegaard to David De Gea while right-back Chris Smalling and Phil Jones were also brought into the side.

The "progressive" position on restricting the use of carbon very simple to understand.The "threat of climate change" is being used by anthrophobic environmentalists to punish consumption and curtail human activity.It is being used by grant-seeking academics for job security.It is being used by politicians to extract campaign contributions from "green" industries that require subsidies to operate, bribes from businesses that would be adversely affected by a tangled web of costly regulations, and kickbacks from operators of carbon credit exchanges that were created out of thin air.It is being used by the U.N. to extract wealth from rich nations to bribe the leaders of poor nations to remain underdeveloped.And it is being used by China, Russia, and India to gain advantage over the West.There is no consensus describing an ideal global climate, no ceiling on what climate change alarmists are willing to spend in an attempt to preserve today's climate, and no serious consideration of whether it makes more moral and economic sense to simply adapt to warmer or cooler global climates.Climate change alarmism is simply the greatest scientific, political and economic scam ever perpetrated in history.

Sun 'n Fun - The Aftermath
By Mary Jones, Director of Publications, EAA 224626
April 1, 2011 — They say the three most important things in real estate are "location, location, location," and that proved to be true for many aircraft owners - both private and corporate - yesterday on the Sun 'n Fun International Fly-In and Expo grounds. A fierce storm passed over the airport early Thursday afternoon, leaving more than 50 aircraft damaged or destroyed.
Phil Lockwood of Lockwood Aviation and Sebastien Heintz of Zenith Aircraft were neighbors in the outdoor exhibit area that appears to be one of the touchdown points of a tornado that skipped across the grounds. "I was in our exhibit tent when the storm hit," Lockwood said, "and I ran to the back of the tent to turn off the TV because water was everywhere. Just as I reached the TV, the tent went into the air and a large parts display board fell over on me. When I crawled out from underneath the board, I was pounded by hail. It felt like I was being shot with a pellet gun. We all ran and took refuge in George Weber's car."
Afterward, all that remained of the tent was one corner of the frame. "It was a 20-by-30-foot tent with a large aluminum frame, and it is gone," Lockwood said. "It was literally sucked up into the tornado, just like you see in the movies."
Four Air Cams parked in the Lockwood display area were destroyed. Lockwood described the damage as amazing: "In some places, there's extensive damage, and just a few feet away, it looks like nothing happened. The Tecnam booth across from us had little damage," Lockwood stated, adding that two of the four Air Cams were insured.
Next door, Zenith Aircraft lost three demonstrators - a CH 750, a CH 650, and a CH 701. "We're calling it 'Ground Zenith,'" Heintz said. "Our little area seems to have been a focal point for the storm."
Heintz and his staff had taken refuge in one of the metal exhibit hangars just down from their outdoor space. "When we saw the storm coming, I figured there was nothing we could do by staying in the tent, so we went to the hangar," Heintz said. "The storm was a bum deal, for sure, but at least no one got hurt. I've often worried about stuff blowing into my planes when storms blow up at events like this. I never imagined my airplanes literally blowing over. We'll build new demonstrators."
Tony Spicer of Wilmington, North Carolina, crew chief for the TEAM RV formation team, lost his RV-3 in the storm when it was torn loose from its tiedowns and blown onto its back and into an RV-6 parked next to it. "I no longer own that airplane; it belongs to the insurance company," Spicer said. "I was in a van in the homebuilt parking area not far from my plane when the storm hit, and it was thriller. I think had we been parked perpendicular to the wind, it would have blown the van over." Spicer added, "Things could have been a lot worse had there been more airplanes here, but the homebuilt parking area was pretty empty. Storms the previous three days had kept a lot of airplanes from getting to Sun 'n Fun."
In total, TEAM RV had two of its 12 airplanes destroyed, though five escaped with no damage. The remaining aircraft had various amounts of damage.
Perhaps one of the sadder sights on the field was that of a Pietenpol and two modified Pietenpols - aka "Big Piets" - rolled into a ball. In 2002, six members of EAA Chapter 976 of Carrolton, Georgia, started working on six airplanes together (their story is chronicled in the May 2009 issue of Sport Aviation, page 65). The airplanes were completed in late 2009 and two of those aircraft, along with Lion Mason Jr. and his Pietenpol, traveled together to Sun 'n Fun this year, only to be picked up and piled atop one another by Mother Nature.
The two Big Piets belong to Frank Metcalfe (N971BP) and Bruce Laird (N974BP). Barry Davis, another Big Piet builder and a member of EAA's Board of Directors, said 18 members of Chapter 976 camped together at Sun 'n Fun this year. "I was planning to fly my Big Piet down, but at the last minute I had to drive the truck. Last night, we started calling it the 'Pieten-pile.' It helps to keep your sense of humor."
Davis said the all-wood Pietenpol is probably a total loss, but said the chapter members had already disassembled the airplanes. "The fuselages are on one trailer and we're putting the wings on another, and we'll be heading back to the Atlanta area this afternoon and we'll start rebuilding when we get back."
Davis said he was just leaving a forum in the new Central Florida Aviation Academy building when the storm moved in. "We looked out and saw how green the sky was and knew it was going to be severe, so we stayed inside. They were telling everybody to stay away from the windows. I think it had to be a tornado," he said. "One of the planes parked behind the Pietenpols had its engine torn from the plane and deposited about 150 feet away. To tear an engine from its mount takes some force."
Late Thursday afternoon and evening, most of the damaged aircraft were removed to a separate area off the main show site. Heintz expressed some frustration with that process. "We were told we had to leave the field and when we came back this morning, our planes had been moved. It would have been better if we could have stayed and helped with the relocation. Some parts that might have been salvageable were further damaged in that process. But, we're trying to remain positive; it definitely could have been worse," Heintz said.

The mission of the Business program is to equip future business leaders with professional skills and a sense of integrity. The curriculum seeks to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to be successful in today's global business environment. In keeping with Guilford College's Quaker tradition of shaping education to address "all things civil and useful," this course of study represents a strong professional program integrated with the traditional liberal arts.
The Department of Business offers a major in Business Administration. The department also offers a Business minor that provides students with an introduction to business concepts and tools and offers additional course work in a variety of interesting areas. This minor is not available to Business Administration majors.
The Bachelor of Science degree is offered in Business Administration.
The business administration major provides students with the concepts and skills expected to be in a business administration program (based on data from a national survey). The major is designed to prepare students either for graduate study or to pursue a career. As such, the curriculum is designed to include content and address student learning outcomes recommended by the Accreditation Council for Colleges and Schools of Business for success in careers and graduate schools. The major is particularly distinctive because it represents a strong professional program, effectively integrated with the more traditional liberal arts.
In conjunction with an advisor, a student may choose to emphasize a particular area of study within the department by choosing a business-related minor, including business law, human resource management, international business, money & finance, or non-profit management. Students interested in international business are encouraged to pursue a double major in business administration and international studies.
Major requirements for a B.S. degree in business administration. The major requires a minimum of 60 credit hours; fifteen courses are required.
Total credit hours required for B.S. degree in Business Administration – 60 credits
Students in the program are expected to enter with basic quantitative literacy and computer literacy skills. They may demonstrate basic quantitative literacy in one of the following ways: Math SAT score of 650 or higher, Calculus AP Exam score of 3 or higher,completion of BUS 110 with a grade of C- or higher or passing an exam that assesses equivalent knowledge. They may demonstrate basic computer literacy skills by completion of BUS 141 with a grade of C- or higher or passing an exam that assesses equivalent knowledge. Students must demonstrate basic quantitative literacy and computer literacy skills as prerequisites for BUS 241.
A business internship is strongly recommended.
Many aspects of the business administration major must be completed sequentially.
The business minor provides students with basic business concepts and tools that can be applied to enhance the application and marketability of their liberal arts education, as well as prepare them to understand and participate more effectively in the world of work. This minor will provide grounding for non-management majors in practical applications that will serve them well throughout their lives and will assist them in relating and using their liberal arts majors in personally and professionally rewarding careers. Students will gain a basic understanding of the world of business, its global aspects and ethical issues. This minor should be a helpful addition on a transcript for job applications in any field.
The minor in business is not available to business management majors.
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses).
The business law minor exposes students to substantive legal topics, theory and analysis and prepares them to deal with legal issues that arise in the workplace and to respond to ethical issues as they interact with the law. Students will apply basic legal theories to specific problems and situations in order to develop alternatives and provide solutions. Students will assess resources available for researching different aspects of law and develop appropriate research and analytical skills. They will also develop their competencies in professional writing and oral presentation. Students will develop the ability to recognize and apply their practical understanding of business law to both business and personal situations.
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses).
Total credits required for Business Law Minor – 16 credits
This minor provides a structure within which students gain an exposure to the study of human relations in organizations. Students will learn various ways of how people can work effectively to achieve overall organizational goals as well as fulfill personal goals while understanding the legal parameters that surround these issues. Although none of the courses have prerequisites and therefore are open to all majors on campus, it is highly recommended that BUS 215 (Business Law and Environment) and BUS 249 (Principles of Management) be taken first, as BUS 321 (Human Resource Management and Law) is the culminating course that combines all the material from the other classes.
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses). Students should consult with the coordinator to select an appropriate elective that will serve as a focus course for the minor.
Total credit hours required for Human Resource Management Minor – 16 credits
It is recommended that business majors who are minoring in human resource management and law take IDS 402 or IDS 426 as their IDS course.
The rapid globalization of business is creating dynamic changes in the business environment. The international business minor provides students with an understanding of the financial, economic, and political context of international business and the skills necessary to effectively participate in today's global marketplace. Courses for the minor are designed to provide insight and understanding into economic, financial, political, and historic developments within the context of international business, and while it is not required, students are encouraged to expand their experiential learning through international study abroad experiences.
Minor Requirements. The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses).
The money and finance minor is a package of courses designed to prepare students to be successful in a wide variety of careers, including banking, investments and international business. The central skills that students learn in these courses are to read and analyze critically an organization's financial reports and to think strategically about positioning an organization in the financial environment. The money and finance minor provides students with an introduction to the economic environment and basic economic, accounting and finance concepts, a complete introduction to the banking system and tools that can be applied to for-profit and not-for-profit businesses.
The minor enhances and complements major fields of study such as accounting, management and economics. It also prepares liberal arts students with the essential business skills that will enable them to move into a managerial career track later on. Former graduates of this minor have said it provided them with excellent basic preparation for graduate school in business administration.
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses).
This minor provides students with basic business concepts and tools that can be applied to enhance the application and marketability of their liberal arts education, as well as prepare them to understand and participate more effectively in work in the non-profit sector. It will provide grounding for non-business majors in practical applications that will serve them well throughout their lives and careers.
Total credit hours required for Non-Profit Management Minor – 16 credits
Today's turbulent business climate calls for leaders who can think critically, communicate effectively and evaluate analytically. The knowledge base of our world is increasing at a rapid pace; whether our students pursue graduate school or enter the business world they must be able to identify, analyze, and evaluate new problems and situations in a constantly changing environment.
At Guilford, we appreciate that the study of business is inherently interdisciplinary. Our students are challenged to articulate their inquiry through effective oral and written communication. As they explore sophisticated, real world problems, they develop the knowledge and skills to think critically yet creatively. In addition to their core business management courses, students broaden their understanding of the world by exploring non business subjects. Cross-cultural course work and experiences studying abroad provide global knowledge that is essential in an increasingly interdependent world. Students work collaboratively, recognizing the value of differing cultures, traditions, histories and perspectives when considering solutions.
Our graduates are well poised to assume positions of responsibility in a global business community. They have the knowledge and skills to respond to challenges by devising innovative solutions and they recognize that these solutions may have social and cultural implications. By connecting choice and action to ethics and responsibility, our students have a distinct competitive advantage: they approach their postgraduate endeavors with both business acumen and a finely tuned moral compass.
Graduates of the Guilford business program have gone on to graduate and business schools and have careers in public accounting, finance, organizational leadership, and academia.
Business majors are encouraged to expand their knowledge and gain international experience through study abroad programs. A few programs with specific interest for Business majors are.

I searched dozens of places for just the right area rug for my remodeled living room. This one is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend this area rug to everyone!
This is a beautiful rug. Ivory with hint of tan or beige. I put in under dinning table so, I do wish it was 8x10 those few extra inch for chairs would help. But it does work. Price was a couple hundred dollars cheaper at O.
Adds a lot of pizzazz to the room. Color is same as in picture.
I have been waiting to buy this rug for three years the cost was not in my budget this year I said its now or never the picture made the petals look like you could lift them up the debt or carving is not as deep as it seems this is the same rug [corolla] from home decorators I did not open it up until last week and I actually had to tell him I loved it after he finally said ordered it I am still not sure what to do this was suppose to be my baby hurting in va.
I was disappointed in the detail. It was not as deep as I have seen. the center of the rose on one rug was just about 3 inches off center, but the second rug was quite a bit off center. Overall its probably acceptable. I put the rug that was quite off center under my dinette table to hide the off center bud.
This rug is beautiful, it just didn't fit with my room as I had hoped it would. I was so excited and then disappointed when it didn't match.

Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 31102YU Review
There're tons of website that sell Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 31102YU like Amazon.com, Bestbuy.com, Costco.com, Walmart.com buy which stores that sell best price. I do research all day long to find best price, some of that offer "Free Shipping" and give "coupon discount code" to their customers. I find out that there're another site that sell cheaper than Amazon.com. Customer service after sale is also important if you buy direct to official shop it's very easy to contact about after sale services. Find and compare the best deals and more specifications, price comparisons, editor's ratings & bargain hunts to help you find one that suits your needs.
This desktop pc is the new desktop model in the market. The specs of this desktop is great and price is affordable. The design is really beautiful. If comes with many features and all I can say is WOW. This behaves amazingly smooth. Its almost like stealing having such a great pc for this price. Truly impressed with this desktop and all its capabilities. I recommend for a budget, daily use desktop. I think it the best computer for the year 2012. The keyboard is big. Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 31102YU is very quick response, and reboot time. The speakers are good and loud for a desktop. It's awesome in comparison. This price range it's a very good buy.
See this Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 31102YU desktop at amazon.com. I would give this desktop more than 5 starts. I researched desktops for several weeks, reading online reviews, scouring the weekly ads. It is very fast for using the Internet, downloading attachments. It boots up in just a matter of seconds. For the price, I found this to be a good value.
Great price for a great computer, this is an excellent machine fast, beautiful display. It's attractive and very functional. Screen is big and clear and bright. So, this Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 31102YU is low priced, but high powered, at least for what I need it to do. I did comparison shopping both online and at places like Best Buy, Office Max, and Office Depot before choosing and buying this desktop. It was at a great price!

Nicholas O'Neill: You shot the film for the cost of a used car, in seven days. …
Gerard Barrett: It's weird, Nick. I went into my local credit union and said I wanted to buy a car, and I think he knew I wasn't actually planning to get a car, so he gave me 4,500 euros, and I said to myself, what can I do well with that?
O'Neill: There is a raw, cinema verité feel to the film. The main character Jimmy occasionally talks directly to the camera, while his father never appears in the film. How and when did you reach these formal and aesthetic decisions?
Barrett: All these decisions I made straight away when writing the script. First off, in terms of Jimmy's "camera moments," I really see them as confessions. I wanted to keep the story as real and as hard-boiled as possible. I wanted to give a punch to the stomach. By staying out of the father's sickroom we get to feel Jimmy's isolation all the more. And then there's mystery in that too.
O'Neill: Similarly, there is naturalistic lighting, very little camera movement, no fast cutting and almost no music.
Barrett: Again, you know, I like portraying reality, especially in a story like this, otherwise it becomes fake. The (director of photography) had shot a lot of nature documentaries, and that's what I wanted: for us to observe Jimmy. We are not telling a massive, big story here.
I spent a lot of time with my aunt and uncle and their life is so simple, but it is also very well planned. They could spend two or three hours eating breakfast because they are in no real rush. They have no one else. So I felt that the way to approach this was to be very, very simple. Someone said to me if I'd had more money, then I could have had a dolly and tracks, I could have had crane shots, but I said no, no way, because that's not their world. Their world is static. It would have felt totally wrong.
O'Neill: Where did you find the actor for Jimmy?
Barrett: Well, I'm an awful hound for doing these things. I love finding new faces. That's the most exciting thing about cinema for me, seeing new faces, you know? So, I was at this local play (well not local—it was in the next county) and I saw this fellow walk on stage and I knew he was a farmer straight away, because I'm a farmer, and we tend to walk bent forward, on the balls of our feet; I don't know why. So I went around the back afterwards and introduced myself and said I had just finished college and had written this script and asked would he mind having a look at it. He rang first thing the next morning, and when we met up he was actually quite emotional and I was thinking, "Oh, what am I after, doing to this lad?" And he said to me, "This story that you have written is my life." Joe was a gift to me. I think he gives a really lovely performance.
It's weird that, after the screening in Galway, this priest from Pakistan came up to me and said it was the story of his brother, a goat farmer, who lives alone, apart from the family. That's what's exciting for me.

Health insurance reform opponents continue to spread myths about America's Affordable Health Choices Act. Today, House Republican Leader John Boehner -a repeat offender on the myth front--threw out these three unrelated and inaccurate claims:
House Republican Leader John Boehner: "Democrats in Washington are pressing ahead with a costly government takeover of health care that will squeeze the nation's entrepreneurs further, keep people out of work longer, and pile up more debt on our children and grandchildren."
But the facts knock them all down again.
MYTH: "Health insurance reform will lead to a government-takeover of the health care system."
FACT: America's Affordable Health Choices Act builds on the current private, employer-provided health care system we have now - and will expand enrollment in private insurance by an estimated 16 million Americans. Rather than creating a "government takeover of health care," the bill is designed to help make the health insurance market work better - improving competition and choice for consumers through the creation of a Health Insurance Exchange.
Even former Senate Majority Leader and heart surgeon Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) disputes Mr. Boehner's claim:
"…what the Obama Administration is doing is not socialized medicine. You hear a lot of people on the extreme say that socialized medicine is going to come in and control everything. Socialized medicine is where the government owns the hospitals. They own the doctors and they decide how much people are getting paid. And that's not what's in these bills." [CSPAN Washington Journal, 10/15/09]
MYTH: "Health insurance reform will squeeze the nation's entrepreneurs further, keep people out of work longer."
FACT: A recent report by the Small Business Majority found that without health insurance reform, small businesses would pay nearly $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years in health care costs for their workers. With reform, the study shows that small businesses can save as much as $855 billion, a reduction of 36 percent, money that can be reinvested in their businesses to grow the economy.
Among its many findings are the following:
- WITHOUT health reform, small businesses will pay nearly $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years in health care costs for their workers.
- WITHOUT reform, the study shows that 178,000 small business jobs will be lost in 2018 as a result of rising health care costs.
- WITHOUT reform, the study shows that $834 billion in small business wages will be lost due to high health care costs over the next ten years
- WITHOUT reform, over the next 10 years, the study shows that small businesses will lose $52.1 billion in profits to high health care costs.
MYTH: "Health insurance reform will pile up more debt on our children and grandchildren."
FACT: The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office scored the insurance reforms in the House bill as slightly reducing the deficit over the next 10 years --and the House leadership has repeatedly promised that the bill that comes to the House floor for a vote will cover most Americans and "won't add a dime to the deficit."

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) - The National Weather Service has confirmed two tornadoes in Spotsylvania and King George counties during a June storm.
The weather service's Sterling office says both of the June 13 tornadoes were rated as EF-0. Neither tornado caused any injuries.
One tornado was confirmed near Thornburg in Spotsylvania County. It damaged a farmhouse and two billboards, uprooted several trees, and overturned two recreational vehicles at a dealership. The tornado traveled more than 2 miles. Winds reached up to 80 miles per hour.
The other tornado toppled trees after it touched down in Port Conway in King George County. It traveled about 7 miles. Winds reached up to 70 miles per hour.
Both tornadoes were on the ground for about 5 minutes.

Dreyfuss simplified the selection process, reducing heat control to its essence: one curved thermometer; two arrows, one for desired temperature, one for actual temperature; and one gesture, a hand to the Round's cupped surface, clockwise for hotter, counter-clockwise for cooler. In our Apple-y age, Dreyfuss's efforts seem a precursor for interaction design, which seeks to reduce an action to the simplest graphics and the fewest screen-based moves.Coverage of the lawsuit on tech blogs has predictably focused on the interaction design patents (predictably because these are the same blogs that failed to mention Dreyfuss the first time around). And the general attitude toward Honeywell seems to be: OK, so you had the technology. But what you did with it was crap. The headline on TechCrunch's useful summary: "Honeywell vs Nest: When The Establishment Sues Silicon Valley." On Slate, Farhad Manjoo has a more thorough explication of the anti-Honeywell sentiment.
Honeywell seems to have patented a bunch of great ideas in order to just sit on them. The sad thing is that if it tried, Honeywell seems capable of building a thermostat that's every bit as wonderful as the Nest. From my testing, I found that Honeywell really does make great home heating and cooling equipment. If it competed in the marketplace rather than in the courts, I suspect it could really turn up the heat on Nest. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
It's time to stop worrying about whether New York has enough "starchitecture" and consider the ways in which we are destroying or sabotaging the architecture we already have through neglect, ignorance, disfigurement, willful disregard and the sacrosanct belief that nothing takes precedence over the investment opportunities encouraged by Manhattan's stratospheric real estate values.Well, the screen is going back, as reported on the New York Times ArtsBeat blog, under the headline, "Preservationists Win a Battle Over Former Manufacturers Hanover Trust Building."
A sculptural screen of 800 floating metal panels by the artist Harry Bertoia will be returned to its home at 510 Fifth Avenue as part of a legal settlement that was made public on Wednesday. The settlement is a result of a lawsuit filed by preservationists in July accusing the building's owner, Vornado Realty Trust — abetted by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission – of disregarding restrictions intended to protect the interior. The settlement also provides that the landmarks commission expand its designation of the interior to include a black granite wall that is part of the former vault space.So Dreyfuss and Bertoia will be preserved, but what of the interior around them? After the interior was landmarked, Vornado went ahead and gutted it, tearing out the side-slung escalators as well as the floor, luminous ceiling, and marble cladding on the columns. When I saw the structure standing bare I thought, Oh no, they are never going to put that back. So the fact that they have to add a little glass and put the sculpture back somewhere (like the private third floor, perhaps?) doesn't even count as a slap on the wrist. The first floor will still be divided in two, and a entrances added on Fifth Avenue. The escalators will run east-west. It will be like every other cheap chic clothing emporium on the block, frontal, stuffed.

City 3
Balotelli (45), Dzeko (46), Johnson (90)
Inter Milan 0
- Match reports
- 31 July 2011 18:25
- Posted by Tim Oscroft
City's preparations for the new season continued in fine style when they beat Inter Milan in Dublin on Sunday afternoon.
Goals just either side of half time from Balotelli and Dzeko put City ahead, and Adam Johnson added a third at the death, but David Silva pulled the strings with a superb display. The win also gave City the Dublin Super Cup
Roberto Mancini's team selection indicated a serious approach to the game, with more than one eye on being in the right place for next week's Community Shield derby at Wembley. Not surprisingly it was a completely different starting eleven to the one that had walked out to face the Airtricity Irish XI just over 24 hours earlier.
There was a welcome return for Yaya Toure after the worrying ankle injury that had blighted his North American tour, but Gael Clichy missed out because of the after-effects of the blow to the head he took in LA and there was to be no role for Sergio Aguero.
In sharp contrast to Saturday's lethargic fare, there was a lively start to proceedings when City had the ball in the net within seconds of the start. Silva rolled it past Soares but the lurking presence of Mario Balotelli ruled the 'goal' offside.
The enigmatic Italian continued to be in the thick of it in the early stages, going over with a flying header shortly after the offside decision, and then drawing a fine save out of Julio Cesar from point-blank range. Between these chances David Silva showed off his wonderful talent with a run in from the right that briefly threatened to match his superb goal at Bloomfield Road last autumn.
Eighteen minutes in and it was Edin Dzeko's turn to see a goal chalked off, harshly judged offside when Aleks Kolarov was crossing from the left. The Bosnian striker stung Julio Cesar's palms on the half hour, the chance coming from yet more fine work from Silva.
Inter's keeper was in action again just before the break, tipping a Balotelli effort over the bar, and getting a playful boot to the backside from his former team mate for his pains.
But it was Mario who had the last laugh seconds later when he put City into a deserved lead, nodding home the corner that Julio Cesar had conceded.
City extended their lead just after the resumption, Edin Dzeko latching onto a sublime pass from Silva and then clinically despatching the ball past the Inter keeper. After a quiet time of it his previous pre-season outings, it was a timely boost for the striker's confidence.
Joe Hart had a quiet afternoon but was alert enough to pull off a brilliant reaction save when the ball deflected off Chivu at a free kick. He was clawing the air seconds later when Stankovic went just wide with a volley from long range.
There were few alarms at either end after that, with Adam Johnson tapping in a simple third in injury time after fine work from Shaun Wright-Phillips. David Silva was deservedly named man of the match.
Performances in pre-season games can occasionally look disjointed as teams get back to full match fitness and look to sterner tests ahead, but it was not the case at the Aviva Stadium for City. The Blues were confident and comfortable, and they look in great shape ahead of the challenge of United next Sunday.

This issue has come up in the past, and I've tried to solve it myself tonight without success. I have an e-mail in to get help with this. Look for a reply from me addressing this (with luck) tomorrow.
Sorry I don't have an answer right now!
I did some research for you what I found out is that the button to add friends is not visible in some browsers. It seems to be available in Internet Explorer for some users.
Give that a try,
i thought you just clicked on that persons higlighted name and it gives you the option to send them a friend request? :0
If you can see that button on your browser than you are lucky! It doesn't show up on all browsers or on all computers, so as i said above it's an issue that we are working on. So-yes you are right, some people can do just as you say. However, others can't-so if you do not see the button on your page don't drive yourself crazy trying to figure out why you can't see it.

Summary of The Ascent of Money Summary of The Ascent of Money Reviews for The Ascent of Money An Excerpt from The Ascent of Money
A richly original look at the origins of money and how it makes the world go round" Before regulators throw block trades, bond swaps, bridge financing, butterfly spreads and Black-Scholes out with the bathwater, they should find time to read Niall Ferguson's The Ascent of Money."

Whats more, Ferguson reveals financial history as the essential backstory behind all history, arguing that the evolution of credit and debt was as important as any technological innovation in the rise of civilization. As Ferguson traces the crisis from ancient Egypts Memphis to todays Chongqing, he offers bold and compelling new insights into the rise and fallof not just money but Western power as well.
