MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball program and head coach Maurice Smith announced the signing of Tara Wornica Tuesday.
A graduate of Pike Central High in Petersburg, Ind., Wornica comes to GC after two seasons at Olney Central College, a two-year school in Olney, Ill.
"Tara has the potential to be an outstanding guard in our league," Smith said. "She is a terrific play-maker who makes her teammates better. One of her best traits is her ability to get everyone involved on the offensive end of the floor. Tara will give us the ball handling and experience that we need at the point-guard position."
An all-conference honoree for Olney, Wornica broke four school records for the Lady Knights, including points in a game with 41, and setting free-throw records for most made in a game and career.
Wornica helped head coach Clint Burris turn an 11-19 freshman team to a 21-12 record during her sophomore season at Olney.
The youthful Bobcats spent the 2011-12 season without a senior, and finished 4-22 with a 2-15 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) record. Freshman Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) became just the second PBC Freshman of the Year in school history, and added All-PBC Third Team honors as well. The Bobcats return 10 players from last year's squad.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Plantar Fasciitis Insoles
Plantar Fasciitis Insoles
Insoles, inserts, and arch supports designed to prevent and relieve the symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis.
Plantar Fasciitis insoles are designed to help prevent and relieve the painful symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis by providing proper foot support for both the arch and heel of the foot to relieve pressure and strain on the plantar fascia tendon. Plantar Fasciitis insoles feature a combination of a deep heel cup to cradle the heel of the foot and an arch support to relieve pressure and strain on the foot arch.
Semi-rigid orthotic arch supports are the best recommendation for most people suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, since these arch supports provide a good combination of support and flexibility. For those seeking maximum foot support, a rigid orthotic arch support would be best to suit your needs. For those with sensitive feet, a cushioned arch support would be best.

Taliban attacks Kabul police facility
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban militants detonated a car bomb at the gates of the Kabul traffic police headquarters early Monday and then stormed the compound, setting off a six-hour gunbattle with security forces that killed at least one policeman, authorities said.
It was the second brazen raid inside the Afghan capital in less than a week, a sign that the insurgency is determined to keep carrying out such spectacular attacks even as the U.S. and Afghan governments try to entice the Taliban into holding peace talks.
The raid started just before dawn when a suicide car bomber blew up his vehicle at the gate of the traffic police department building, close to the Afghan parliament and the Kabul zoo, said the city's police chief, Mohammad Ayub Salangi.
Then, another two or three attackers "armed with suicide vests and heavy and light weapons entered the compound," said a statement from Salangi's office.
The fighting left at least 10 wounded, six of them civilians and four members of the security services, the statement said. At least two of the attackers were killed by police.
Shooting could still be heard outside the compound shortly before noon, but the announcement insisted the situation was under control and that the insurgents were surrounded.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack and said the target of the insurgents was a police training facility "run by foreign military forces."
The traffic police headquarters is located on a square leading to the parliament and next to the zoo. It is also adjacent to the Afghan border police headquarters. The facility, usually teeming with civilians seeking to get drivers licenses and registrations for vehicles, was nearly empty at the time of the attack.
Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqi said the assault began with a suicide car bombing. Two insurgents, he said, were then shot and killed by Afghan forces while four police commandos were wounded.
Sediqi said Afghan forces were carrying out the operation without any assistance from NATO.
"This shows the ability of the Afghan forces, that they are leading the operation, "he said.
A unit of NATO special forces that trains and mentors Afghan police was at the scene but not taking part in the operation.
Merchant Gul Rahman, who owns a nearby shop, said he heard at least two explosions when the attack began, just before dawn. An Associated Press reporter at the scene said a number of big explosions were heard from inside and around the building, along with heavy gunfire.
Police officer Abdullah Hamidi said two of the explosions were caused by a man in a suicide vest and another by a car bomb.
It was the second insurgent attack inside Kabul in five days.
Last Wednesday, six Taliban suicide bombers attacked the gates of the Afghan intelligence agency in downtown Kabul, killing one guard and wounding dozens. Security forces killed all the attackers. The insurgents carried out the attack by driving a minivan loaded with explosives into a gate of the intelligence agency compound in the capital at noon. The other five attackers wearing suicide vests were in a second minivan that was also loaded with explosives. They were shot and killed and security forces later defused the bomb in their minivan.
The attacks came as the Afghan government has been pushing to get the Taliban to the negotiating table and as President Hamid Karzai and the U.S. negotiate for a quicker pullout of American forces. President Barack Obama said after meeting Karzai in Washington earlier this month that the U.S.-led military coalition would hand over the lead for security around the country to Afghan forces this spring — months ahead of schedule.
Obama also said he agreed with Karzai that the Taliban should open a political office in the Gulf state of Qatar to facilitate peace talks.
Pakistan, the other regional powerbroker, also said earlier in the week that it plans to release more Afghan militant detainees in an attempt to boost the peace process ahead of the departure of international troops at the end of 2014. They made the announcement after meeting with Afghan and American officials in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan is thought to hold more than 100 Taliban prisoners and has so far released 26.
In general, Kabul has pressed hard for Pakistan to release its detainees, with some officials saying that they hope the released Taliban can serve as intermediaries. But Washington is concerned about specific prisoners who they consider dangerous and could return to the insurgency.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - It's been a great few months for Tennessee Tech pitcher Ross Spurgeon (2-1) as the transfer from Cleveland State Community College has gone from limited action in the bullpen, to steady reliever to weekend starter for the Golden Eagles (25-10, 14-3).
Saturday made the progression of it all that much more special as the Cookeville native gathered a victory in his first career start at Bush Stadium at the Averitt Express Baseball Complex, a 5-2 win over the Eastern Illinois Panthers (12-20, 3-10).
Earning his third start of the season, Spurgeon threw six solid innings, scattering seven hits and allowing just two earned runs with one strikeout. It marked the second victory of the season for the right hander and the first victory in game that he has started.
EIU starter Joe Greenfield was tabbed with the loss, despite pitching all eight innings for the Panthers. The junior hurler gave up 12 hits to a tune of five runs, four earned, while striking out three.
The Golden Eagles got things started on the offensive side of the ball, scoring after just three pitches in the first inning. After a first-pitch double by lead-off man Zach Zarzour, senior Austin Wulf drove him in with a single to center field.
Eastern Illinois evened things up in the third, grabbing an RBI off a bloop single by center fielder Nick Priessman. Spurgeon kept his cool, however, forcing the next batter to ground into a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning.
Tech answered back in the bottom half, grabbing an RBI double off the bat of junior slugger Zach Stephens after a single by Wulf. Brandon Thomasson collected a base hit to right field, advancing to second on an error by the right fielder. Daniel Miles drove in Stephens with a ground out to shortstop, allowing Thomasson to advance to third base. That set up shortstop Dylan Bosheers for an RBI single to the Panther shortstop, giving the Golden Eagles a 4-1 advantage after three innings.
In the bottom of the fourth, Tech opened the inning with a singles by James Abraham and Jordan Parris. After a sacrifice bunt by Zarzour advanced the runners to second and third, Wulf grabbed his second RBI of the game with a ground out to the shortstop, giving the Golden Eagles a 5-1 lead.
The Panthers cut the lead down by a run in the top of the fifth as first baseman Treysen Vavra crushed a ball over the center field wall with two outs. That would be all for the EIU bats in the fifth, however, as Spurgeon set down the next batter.
The Tech pitching staff took over from that point, throwing four straight innings of shutout ball to give the Golden Eagles its 25th win of the year and 10th straight series win to start the 2013 season.
Sophomore closer Seth Lucio pitched a perfect ninth, earning his seventh save of the year and tying the Tech single-season saves record. Lucio struck out the second batter he faced, forcing the other two EIU players to fly out.
Wulf stood tall as the top offensive threat of the day, driving in two runs on a 2-for-4 day from the plate. Thomasson, Zarzour, and Abraham also collected two hits in the contest.
The Golden Eagles will look for its third sweep of an Ohio Valley Conference opponent on Sunday as Jacob Honea takes the hill against Panther righty Matt Borens. First pitch for game three is set for 1 p.m. CDT.

Is the Iraq war over? Iraqis, Americans see it differently
WASHINGTON — Six years after the U.S. invaded Iraq, Americans and Iraqis for the first time have starkly different views about the country's future. Americans are ready to close the book on the war, but Iraqis say the story is far from over.
As the war enters its seventh year this week, Americans are winding down their military presence. Violence, while not over, it is at its lowest levels since the war began, and Iraqi forces, U.S. officials say, are better able than ever to secure their nation. The U.S. and Iraq have agreed that most U.S. troops must withdraw by the end of 2011.
Iraqis, however, worry that their war may be just beginning. January's provincial elections stoked tensions between Sunni Muslim Arabs and Kurds in northern Iraq that could spill over into central Iraq. It's not clear how Iraqi forces will conduct themselves once their American counterparts have left the battlefield. And Iraq is unable to secure its border with Iran, Turkey and its neighboring Arab states.
Which version of the story prevails in the next year will determine the pace of the U.S. troop withdrawal and what kind of Iraq will be left behind.
From an American perspective, Iraq is now just one of a number of pressing issues. Along with the U.S. economic crisis, the war in Afghanistan and instability in Pakistan are the Obama administration's top priorities. They're interconnected, as the U.S. military can't increase its presence in Afghanistan without drawing down in Iraq and can't make progress in Afghanistan if Pakistan descends into chaos — and especially because a $504 billion war isn't sustainable in the current economy.
"The drawdown of our military should send a clear signal that Iraq's future is now its own responsibility," President Barack Obama told troops at Camp Lejeune, N.C., last month.
The U.S. expects this year to reduce its presence in Iraq by two brigades to 12, or approximately 120,000 combat troops from 138,000. Marine Corps commandant Gen. James T. Conway has called for transferring Marines to Afghanistan from Iraq's once restive Anbar province.
At the Pentagon, commanders say the situation in Iraq is tenable. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has called for a residual force to stay for some time.
But planners are already mapping what the U.S. military will look like once forces start leaving Iraq. How quickly the Army can increase its time off between deployments? When it can start training for battles other than urban counterinsurgencies? How can its forces shift their training and equipment to Afghanistan?
On Wednesday, Gates announced that the Army would end its stop loss program, the practice of ordering soldiers to stay in the service beyond their obligation, in part because the military expects to draw down forces in Iraq over the next 19 months.
In Iraq, though, most people worry that with the departure of the U.S. military, which many consider a necessary evil, violence will shoot up once again. Iraq's army and police are still fledgling forces backed by the U.S., and political parties, dueling ethnic groups and rival branches of Islam are vying for power, encouraging neighboring states to interfere.
Iraqis — and some U.S. military and intelligence officers and diplomats — think that different factions are counting the days until the Americans leave, aware that Iraqi forces aren't strong enough to fend off major violence. Iraqi forces still lack air power or sufficient logistical support and struggle to unite under a fractious government. Iraqi forces have turned to their American allies in the face of major battles.
"The situation in Iraq will improve only if the Americans and the Iraqi politicians withdraw from Iraq," said Abbas al Dulaimy, 31, as he walked through Baghdad. "The situation will soon be worse because the politicians will look out only for their interests like those who demand to divide Iraq . . . it will be chaos."
The status of forces agreement between the Iraqi and U.S. governments signed late last year will reduce boots on the ground as well as U.S. influence on Iraqi matters. The first major test comes in June, when U.S. troops are to withdraw from Iraqi cities.
Americans may assume that once forces leave, the U.S. military will no longer be responsible for what happens in Iraq. Many Iraqis think, however, that the U.S. hasn't prepared their nation to secure itself.
"The Iraqi army and police can't achieve stability in Iraq when the Americans withdraw unless the Americans correct the matter," said Usama al Najafi, a Sunni parliament member from the secular Iraqi National List, referring to corruption and sectarian and party loyalties within the security forces.
And yet even as U.S. soldiers increasingly sit idly at their outposts and watch Iraqis take the lead, the biggest political challenge remains deciding the country's political system. Will Iraq be a federal or decentralized state, secular or Islamist, autocratic or democratic? A more stable security situation has done little so far to answer those questions.
Iraqi officials say the U.S. will leave behind a situation that it couldn't fix.
What will happen when the last U.S. soldier leaves Iraq? No one knows.
Former U.S. envoy Ryan Crocker has come closest to publicly acknowledging that the war in Iraq isn't over. In interviews, Crocker has said that he thinks the most historic events of post-Saddam Iraq have yet to happen.
He hasn't suggested, however, that the U.S. will be there to see them.

Top 14 Orange
Clermont hit with multiple injuries
ESPNscrum Staff
May 1, 2012
Lee Byrne is set for a spell on the sidelines © Getty Images
Clermont Auvergne has suffered a massive blow with the news that five of their players have been sidelined in the wake of their loss to Leinster on Sunday.
The Top 14 side crashed out of the Heineken Cup 19-15 to the current champions and while their time in that tournament has come to an end, the news that five of their players sustained injuries in that clash has the potential to derail their charge for the Top 14.
They are currently tied at the top with Toulouse but will have to make do without a host of players for their title run-in. Winger Julien Malzieu (calf), Jean-Marcellin Buttin (ankle), fullback Lee Byrne (knee), lock Nathan Hines (ribs) and flanker Julien Bonnaire (knee) are all injured.
Buttin and Bonnaire are likely to be out for three weeks while the other three's duration on the sidelines is yet to be confirmed.

Buggyra RO8
Nurgurgring 2014
by Phil Wicks
The Buggyra brand first appeared in its current form in 2000 evolving from an existing company. Their home base is in Prague in the Czech Republic and they have been involved with truck racing since its radicalization in the early 2000's. Then, as did a host of race preparation companies, they relied on tuning other peoples products in an attempt to achieve optimum performance from these products and eventual victory. With the truck racing eventually falling under the auspices of the FIA in 1994, Truck racing became more organized and eventually had its own championship, the ETRC.
By this time the field would consist of a diverse range of marques including MAN, Mercedes, Caterpillar, VW and Buggyra. Buggyra being the name of the racing entity and not a manufacturer of trucks.
In 2006 the FIA streamlined the series and dropped the two classes, Super race and race trucks, down to one class. Again there has been a wide variety of entries mostly based on the truck manufacturers brand, But Buggyra still race under their own logo. Buggyra International Racing System took out the 2007/8 and 9 championships and drivers Adam Lacko and David Vrsecky took forth and fifth positions in the 2014 series of which the Flycar model is a version of.
The current Buggyra is in actual fact a Daimler - Freightliner chassis/cab unit with a Buggyra tuned engine, In more recent times Buggyra have turned to Diesel engine specialists Gyrtech who produce the current engine for the race trucks, the Gyrtech Mk14-3EC. The engine is based on a CAT block but all else is new. Displacement is a turbo charged 12.5 litres which provides a very handy 1050 bhp and 6000 Nm of torque.
As well as Truck racing, Buggyra have been involved in Raid events with their race prepared TATRA's doing well, especially in the DAKAR event up to this time. They also achieved the speed record for trucks with one of their Mk002's. This occurred in the Dubai desert in 2004 where they achieved a terminal speed of 281 kph for a flying km. No under achievement for a company who has little more than a hundred employees. It is no wonder that Fly car chose this as a suitable example for a model.
I have borrowed this model for the purpose of homologation, that is to say, checking it over to make sure it is OK to race in our truck racing class, which is subject to strict guidelines. But how well have Fly put this model together was to be seen, and apparently it wasn't too long before the Fly curse caught up with it. On one of its early outings the plastic pinion parted company and had to be replaced, the owner choosing to put a replacement crown gear in it while they were at it. But all else looks to be holding tight so I carried on with the check over.
Outwardly the model is quite appealing, and you would be forgiven for thinking at first glance it was a Sisu, but it isn't. Overall body shape is nice and the colour scheme isn't too in your face with minimal decals and pale colours. Wheels and tyres look familiar and no doubt there will be a few models across the land converted to the 'Super single' wheels and tyres currently available from MJK engineering.
Fly have even gone to the trouble of modeling the mudguard stays on the rear guards and even given it a movable fifth wheel plate for good measure and scale! Another plus is the use of pretty sturdy door mirrors which should increase their lifespan some what, those of you who already own and race Fly trucks will know what I mean.
The chassis is the slimline version used in some previous trucks. It is plain and simple much in line with previous Fly products although the front axle does have a degree of slop, and the guide could do with shimming down a little more, just to ensure stability if you are a non magnet racer. For those who race the plastic there is a reasonable magnet at the rear between the axle and motor which should keep the model on the straight and narrow on most occasions!
I am a little concerned about the guide as it is quite sloppy in its mount; also, the guide turns almost 180° side to side and when it is extended in its mount the lead wires strike against the guide stops. This is a recipe for disaster down the road and I would be inclined to set the chassis in a set up block and with the guide in its lowest position, fit an annular spacer over the guide shaft protruding through the mount, this should stop the guide dropping too low before it hits the stop.
Wheels are concentric and are a good tight fit on the axles. The hub set up on the rear is a single hub which takes two individual tyres. The tyres are soft and in my opinion do their job well. Unless you are a slotcar tragic, there shouldn't be any reason to change the tyres. But if you do, there are some excellent 'Super single' wheels and tyres available from Ian and the boys at MJK engineering
Other detail is a bit sparse and it would have been nice to see a more colourful interior and a driver who was posed more realistically but I appreciate this comes at a price. A job for the customiser no doubt!
As mentioned I'm not sure of the rating for the motor as it comes with no wrapper or markings, but it does feel a bit like the previous Fly truck motors which would make it an FK180 (18,000 rpm @12v). But it is tight, and as always should ot be a problem sans magnet…..but…. on more than several occasions I have seen these motors pop out of their mounts during periods of stress. Magnet or non magnet it is my advise to hot glue the motor in if you want to avoid hearing that all painful 'Ziyzzzzzzzzzz' sound after a particularly heavy crash or deslot!
An excellent addition to the Fly truck range and if you are already racing trucks then this should slot in seamlessly into the class. Prices vary greatly and I have seen them advertised from Au$99.00 upwards plus post, so it may be worthwhile shopping around before you commit your hard earned mazoolah.
Many thanks to Chris Sloman from the LCR racing group for the opportunity to review this model

Meet Probate Court and Tax Deadlines for Estates and Trusts
You must meet all probate court deadlines to avoid being removed as executor or trustee and to avoid fines or even jail sentences. File income tax returns, Form 1041, and estate tax returns, Form 706, on time. To avoid missing key deadlines, place all probate court and tax filing deadlines prominently on your calendar. You may seek tax filing extensions, amend incorrect returns, and file protective claims as necessary.
Don't miss probate court deadlines
Make sure you place all the probate court's deadlines on your calendar prominently. Circle, underline, or write in neon if necessary. Even if you haven't been able to complete the task set by the court (preparing the probate inventory, for example), showing up to explain why you're unable to comply usually buys you additional time. If you fail to show up, the courts often demand immediate compliance.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that the probate court isn't a real court or the judge not a real judge just because proceedings have been fairly low-key to this point. Probate court judges have full judicial authority, which includes removing you as executor or trustee, fining you, throwing you in jail for contempt of court, or any other such sanctions they deem necessary to make you comply.
Don't forget tax filing deadlines
You wouldn't fail to file your own tax returns; don't forget to file the trust's or estate's, either. Income tax returns (Form 1041) are due three and one half months after the estate or trust's year end, and estate tax returns (Form 706) are due nine months after the date of death.
Place income tax return and estate tax return due dates on your calendar. Begin preparation far in advance of the due date so you know about any problems or lack of information far in advance of the filing deadline.
Don't forget, extensions are available if you're unable to file returns when due, and you may amend returns that turn out to be incorrect.
What do you do if you know you can't possibly get all the information prior to the return's due date, even if you extend that due date by the maximum six months allowed?
If you know it's just a matter of a few months, or a year, you're probably safe in just amending the return after you have all the pertinent data.
If what's missing may take longer to acquire (such as litigation begun during the decedent's lifetime, to which you've now become a party), you want to suspend the statute of limitations indefinitely until you resolve whatever's outstanding.
To file a protective claim, write "Protective Claim under Reg. Sec. 301.6402-2(2)" across your return in big black letters. Make sure you otherwise pay all taxes due. Be sure to file your return on time (as extended). Protective claims work only if every other aspect of the return you've filed has its t's crossed and its i's dotted.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Connecticut's efforts to grab North Carolina's status as the birthplace of powered flight has received a major boost from a well-respected aviation publication.
While the history books have long said Wilbur and Orville Wright were the first to achieve powered flight with their airplane on Dec. 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, N.C., the folks in Bridgeport, Conn., say German immigrant Gustave Whitehead got airborne there two years earlier -- Aug. 18, 1901 -- reaching a height of 40 feet and traveling a half mile.
CBS News reported Sunday the respected aeronautical journal "Jane's All the World's Aircraft" has officially recognized Whitehead as first in flight. The Connecticut Legislature has done its part to make it official, recently passing a law affirming it as fact, the network said..
Bridgeport marked the 112th anniversary of Whitehead's flight this weekend.
CBS says two witnesses interviewed for an Aug. 18, 1901, article in The Bridgeport Herald, described Whitehead's flight. One of them was never interviewed again to confirm what he saw and the second, James Dickie, later retracted his statement and signed a document denying he was on hand when Whitehead flew.
But Bridgeport native William O'Dwyer said Dickie later told him Dickie had changed his story because Whitehead owed him money.
"He prejudiced his testimony, his document is really worthless," O'Dwyer said.
The Smithsonian Museum also is caught up in the controversy, having signed a contract in 1948 to obtain the Wright Brothers' plane that states the Wrights were the first in flight.
A statement by the Washington museum said the contract is a "less than exemplary moment in Smithsonian history," CBS said.

by Dummies.com
Your cover letter is a first impression to potential employers. If you expect to be a successful job seeker, you'll want to know how to attract positive attention with your cover letter, while avoiding common mistakes.
Believing the myths that follow can kill your cover letter before it has a chance to sell your skills.
It's okay to send your resume without a cover letter
False! Unless you like to send your resume into other people's trashcans, make sure that a cover letter accompanies your resume.
Your cover letter summarizes your resume
False! Your cover letter should put your resume in context — it should draw attention to your strengths and present nonresume material that can make the difference between you and you're your next closest competitor when the interviewing decision is made.
A cover letter merely introduces your resume
False! Your cover letter is much more than a routing slip for your resume. Your letter is also ultimately a silent force, enticing the reader to scour your resume. Some employers believe cover letters are more important than resumes when choosing candidates to interview. If your cover letter doesn't flesh out the person presented in your resume, you may never get to meet the reader.
You can routinely use a generic greeting — "Dear Employer"
False! Research your target organization until you have the name and gender of the person who will review your resume. Double-check for correct spelling and proper job titles. When you can't uncover the correct name and must rely on a generic greeting, Dear Employer is as good as anything. Don't assume gender and use Gentlemen for your salutation.
Keep your cover letter really, really short — like a paragraph
False! The length of your cover letter depends not upon absolute rules of measurement, but upon the amount of content you have to convey. When the letter escorts a resume, it should be one page in length, with one to six paragraphs; when your letter substitutes for a resume, two to three pages is the max.
A handwritten cover letter is best — it's personal
False! Employers may assume you are way behind the times if you don't use a computer's word processor, or they may be unable to read your penmanship. If an employer wants a sample of your handwriting, the employer will request one. Your only handwriting should be your signature at the end, written in black or blue ink.
Resumes and networking are infinitely more important than cover letters in a job search
False! You need the tools of marketing materials — cover letters and resumes — in your quest for job leads, which include recruitment advertising response, networking, and direct application among the most productive techniques. No one component is provably more important than the others.
Anyone can find a job — if your cover letter isn't working, the letter is at fault
False! Your marketing materials — a cover letter or resume — can become an easy focus for your anxieties about a job search; therefore blaming the marketing materials is convenient. Consequently, job seekers often think if they can only whip their marketing materials into perfect shape, the other parts of the search will turn out favorably. The truth is, all parts of your search must be up and running.
Your cover letter gets you a job
False! To succeed in your job search, you need a strategy for finding job leads and a first rate resume supported by a red hot cover letter. In addition, you need marketable skills, appropriate personal qualities, interviewing strengths, and the right references. It's the total package that determines who wins the job.
The cover letter is your chance to talk about your personal life and feelings
False! Your resume talks about you; your cover letter talks about your intended employer — and how your employer can benefit from the splendid assets you offer. Describe special benefits that set you above other applicants.
Include salary history and expectations in your cover letter
False! Save the salary discussion for the interview. You can be eliminated at this stage if your salary history is considered too high, too low, or too static. Don't get into it. If an ad requests such information, write that your salary is negotiable and that you'd be happy to discuss the issue during an interview.
After you send a letter, the employer carries the ball
False! No matter how terrific you are, most employers have no time for hunting you down unless they need you right this very second. If you don't get an acknowledgment (probably an automated reply) that your cover note or letter arrived, call or e-mail to confirm.
Sending your letter by courier is an attention-getter
False! Unless time is of the essence, save your money. Anyone who cares how your letter arrives usually doesn't have the power to hire you. Mail usually filters through office staffers before reaching hiring managers. Even a courier envelope that costs you a meal is likely to be opened by nonhiring hands. E-mail and faxes may get the hiring manager's attention, because they often route straight to your target.
When mailing, use a standard business envelope
False! Now that your documents face a good chance of being scanned and stored by job computers, inserting your letter and resume flat and unfolded into a 10″ x 13″ envelope is safer. Creases from folding may damage your document's text in scanning systems. By using a larger envelope, you have a huge edge over thousands of other job seekers who don't know that their marketing materials should arrive scanner-ready.
Paper quality always has a great effect on your image
False! And True! Both humans and computers read cover letters and resumes. For a finger-friendly read, paper quality counts.
For a computer-friendly read, the quality of paper doesn't matter at all — the finest paper becomes just another pretty electronic face. Your cover letter and resume paper should match and should be white or off-white smooth paper, sized 8.5″ x 11″. Avoid glossy or coarse textures that can cause scanners to misread. Don't use colored paper — especially blue, green, or gray, which may scan in as shades of gray that obscure your letter's text.
Need a cover letter that gets results – then – go here…
Instant Cover Letters! In just 3 1/2 minutes you will have an amazing cover letter guaranteed to cut through YOUR stiffest competition like a hot knife through butter!

When the Airport Authority for the City of Cleveland, Ohio looked into LED parking-garage interior lighting systems, it knew an upgrade would save significant energy compared to the existing metal halides. However, until management saw the actual results, computed real electricity and maintenance savings, and saw obvious day or night drive-lane lighting improvements, they could not have realized the magnitude of energy savings and quality of light improvements for motorists.
The project's lighting-design goals were straight-forward:
- Substantially reduce energy costs 24/7/365.
- Strive to increase light levels day and night in front of cars entering of leaving the garage.
- Increase light levels at the rear of — and in between — parking spaces.
- Materially reduce routine light-fixture maintenance, malfunctions, and necessary lamp replacements.
- Reduce lighting glare in motorists' eyes.
- Provide a lighting solution that is not likely to become predictably outdated.
The Airport Authority requested and received proposals from seven lighting manufacturers, all of which offered various alternatives to the present metal-halide lighting. In the end, a new type of specially designed parking-garage luminaire employing LED arrays — the Endura ceiling-mounted LED interior luminaire from Beacon Products, a division of Hubbell Lighting — was chosen.
The consensus of Airport Authority testing was that actual light distribution inside its existing parking garage showed this luminaire to have superior distribution along drive lanes, no "hot spots," and low-glare high-color-rendition white light. This light projected in frontof drive lanes, avoiding common problems of dark shadows in the line of travel. Ease of retrofit installation on a one-for-one basis in place of existing metal-halide light fixtures and the fact that existing wiring connections could be used were also a plus.
Unique to this particular LED was the company's drive-lane optics feature, which achieves lighting distribution that is particularly effective for typically low mounting heightsfound in public parking garages. The return on investment of 24 months made for a short-term, predictable payback as well.
Peak "candlepower" from the LEDs in the direction motorists are traveling in a parking-garage drive lane is actually reducedto a 55-degree low-glareangle — from a typical 70-degree-high-glarelight angle in drivers' eyes — in often dark parking garages. The product's on-board occupancy sensor provides additional energy savings by offering three light-level options on each fixture. Parking-garage owners now have a choice for emitted light encompassing both the 55- and 70-degree angles, which can be set or changed to coincide with different hours of daylight or sunlight into a parking garage. Thermally protected against either excessive heat buildup, or snow-belt cold-weather climates, these LEDs typically last 50,000 hours before becoming dimmer to the point replacement is recommended. As a result of the LED retrofit, the Hopkins Airport parking garage has cut lamp replacement times and costs in half.

OCEAN CITY – Tempers flared at the end of Tuesday's three-hour City Council work session, over recommendations to "get authority to borrow" up to $10 million to upgrade the Roland E. Powell Convention Center, before a single sketch drawing had ever been seen.
"What the hell are we doing here?," asked a visibly frustrated Councilman Jim Hall. "We haven't seen a drawing or a sketch or a blueprint of this apparent expansion, and if I were to vote for this motion, and someone were to ask me on the street what I just voted for, I wouldn't know what to tell them."
The council voted 3-3 in President Joe Mitrecic's absence, squashing a proposal by Finance Administrator Martha Lucey to apply for a bank qualified bond, which would obtain a favorable interest rate, which according to Lucey, "needs to be decided on by Nov. 12 so you would qualify to borrow the money by the end of the year."
The $10 million price tag is not for the proposed expansion, but rather, according to Lucey, is "the limit a municipality can issue in bank qualified debt per calendar year. The state legislature authorized $5 million in additional debt for the convention center."
According to City Manager Dennis Dare, who added, "With the amount of business conventions that come to Ocean City, we may need to upgrade the 'networktivity' and technical aspects of the convention center rather than an expansion."
Councilman Joe Hall saw no need for expansion citing that the building was "fully operational" and most of the time "people drive by and see the parking lot two thirds empty."
Councilman Doug Cymek urged Hall to hear Lucey's entire proposal, saying, "No one is trying to spend $10 million right now, Joe, this just reserves us the right to borrow it if we choose to do these upgrades later on."
City Engineer Terry McGean, who apologized to the council for being "a bit behind Martha on the project," is scheduled to bring the plans for the proposed upgrade/expansion to the convention center on Monday night.
The Monday meeting proposal seemed to particularly annoy Jim Hall further.
"I'm not even sure this is something we should be talking about in a one-hour Monday night meeting. This is a major issue, and one that the public has a vested interest in," he said. "We need to look at it closer than to just hear it at a Monday meeting."
Councilman Lloyd Martin, who ran the meeting for the absent Mitrecic, said, "we'll know next week what we are going to be spending money on, but limiting our ability to borrow is the wrong thing to do in this case."
The specifics of Lucey's proposal asked for an authorization to issue bonds to get the maximum $10 million in debt from the state by the filing date of Dec. 27.
"I don't want you to miss the window to get bank qualified because that is the best rate possible," she said.
Dare called the bonds "another tool in the box" for upgrades to the center, which was last expanded in 1995, when Ocean City's partnership with the State of Maryland and the one-cent food tax came into play. When sufficient funds from food tax receipts are accumulated to pay off the $15 million 1995 bonds, state participation in the convention center ends. In April 2008, the state increased the debt limit to $20 million.
Monday's meeting will see the story unfold further, but some on the council thought that Lucey's urgency to gain the town good interest rates was a ploy to get the project approved quickly.
"To say we have to do this quick, and vote it through around Thanksgiving and Christmas feels like a big rush job", said Jim Hall. "If I'm going to vote for something, I'd like to at least see what I'm voting for."

AVONDALE, Ariz. — If NASCAR's championship battle were a major golf tournament, the two title contenders would be about to play the 17th hole of the final round.
Only two races remain to decide NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series championship, with Jimmie Johnson holding a slim seven-point lead over Matt Kenseth.
The next race is Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway, followed by the season finale a week later at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Regardless of what happens at Phoenix on the one-mile PIR oval, NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup playoff is so close that the winner probably won't be decided until the next race in Florida.
But Phoenix still can have a big say in what happens, as Johnson knows too well.
More than once the five-time champion has all but sealed a Cup title with a win or a strong finish at Phoenix, where the El Cajon native has the most career Cup victories with four.
But a year ago the Hendrick Motorsports driver arrived with the same lead in the standings, seven points, and found catastrophe.
A blown tire on Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet sent him into the wall and left him 20 points behind Brad Keselowski heading to Florida, where Keselowski then captured his first Cup championship.
That's why "I'm just not going to put my guard down," said Johnson, 38, who took the points lead with a dominating win last weekend at Texas, his sixth win of the year.
"Momentum is nice," Johnson said. "But I've been doing this long enough where I realize that momentum doesn't guarantee a thing. We'll race hard this weekend and then roll into Homestead and try to take care of business down there."
Kevin Harvick won the Phoenix race a year ago — his third win here — and he's third in the Cup standings this year.
But Harvick is 40 points behind Johnson, a deficit probably too large to overcome with only two races left. (A driver can earn up to 48 points in a single race.) That's why it's mainly down to Johnson and Kenseth, who drives the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.
Kenseth, 41, won the championship in 2003 for the team now called Roush Fenway Racing. He did so with only one win that season but a remarkably consistent 25 top-10 finishes overall.
It was the next year that NASCAR, looking to spice up the drama of its late-season races, created the 10-race Chase playoff, which follows 26 regular-season races.
But this year, after Kenseth moved to Gibbs, the Wisconsin driver has posted a career-high seven wins with crew chief Jason Ratcliff. Kenseth also is a former winner at Phoenix, albeit before the track was repaved and slightly reconfigured in 2011.
"I'm really looking forward to getting back to Phoenix," Kenseth said. "The short, flat tracks have been good to us this year," he added, with wins at Bristol (half-mile) and New Hampshire (one mile).
In addition to Sunday's AdvoCare 500, the weekend schedule includes a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Friday and NASCAR Nationwide and K&N; Pro Series West races Saturday.

Cyprus has built-up a formidable reputation
For the warmth of its climate – and its welcome, with myth and legend, history and hospitality in equal measure... and Paphos is no exception. In fact, it all with a rather British colonial twist in which cars still drive on the left. It's as you'd expect from the home of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.
Delicate handmade lace and scrumptiously chewy loukoumia (a local sweet) are two favourite Paphos souvenirs. The harbourside is a good starting point for your shopping in Paphos, with a road lined with dinky shops selling a decent range of lace, leather goods and local foodstuffs. For antiques, more of that lace and Cypriot ceramics, rummaging along the stores and boutiques of Makariou Avenue should result in a find. The covered market, slap in the centre of Paphos' Old Town, along Nicodimou Mylona Street, is the place to head for bargain-priced local textiles, jewellery and art.
Food & Drink
Well-priced dining, super-fresh seafood and full-bodied Mediterranean flavours sum up Paphos' restaurant scene. For romantic views out over the harbour and fantastic meze (starter plates) spreads, Ouzeri (12 Poseidonos Avenue) can't be beaten. Wholesome Cypriot flavours, doused in olive oil, at good-value prices, are what the town's many 'taverna' restaurants are all about. Les Amis (Kleious Street) and Akis Tavern (Airport Road) are two of the best. For a beer and a boogie, the place to go is Agiou Antoniou Street (known as 'Bar Street') in the harbour area. Boogies Bar has some of the cheapest drink prices along the strip, while Robin Hood is one of the better clubs if you just want to dance the night away.
Paphos Marathon
With the marathon starting point at Petra Tou Romiou (the birthplace of Aphrodite) and the finish line at Paphos' Medieval Fort square, this is a run through history as well as a race. There's a half marathon and a 10km fun run organised at the same time.
Classical Games
This one-day festival is a celebration of the ancient Olympics which has its roots here on the island.
Paphos Flower Festival
Spring's arrival is heralded all over Cyprus with the annual Flower Festival. In Paphos, the local parade turns the seafront road into a riot of colour for the day.
This traditional religious festival takes place 50 days after Orthodox Easter. In Paphos, the harbour area is the setting for all the action with a series of folk dance performances, concerts and watersports activities organised.
Ancient Greek Drama Festival
This national festival hosts a program of ancient Greek dramas performed at various venues across the island. In Paphos, the plays take place in the atmospheric ancient Odeon.
The birthplace of Aphrodite hosts eight months of summer weather annually, making it the destination of choice for sun-worshippers. Lap up the heat in style at sumptuous Amathus Beach Resort (Poseidon Avenue), with its luxury spa and spacious, modern rooms. Or head a little further out of town to the Thalassa Boutique Hotel & Spa (Coral Bay Main Road) where you'll indulge in opulent living next to the beach. Right in town and down the price scale, Anna Hotel Apartments (15 Evagorou Street) is a solid choice with friendly staff, while wallet-friendly holiday seekers will appreciate family-run Axiothea Hotel (2 Ivis Mallioti Street).

Repair the world
The ARS Electronica Festival in Linz is a conference that supports cutting-edge experiments in digital culture. The motto of this year's festival was "REPAIR – ready to pull the lifeline," and the highlight was the "Open Source Life" symposium. The bottom line of "Open Source Life" is how to transfer the ideas of open source to other layers of society.
Although I saw a lot of good ideas, here are some of my favorites: Continue…
- A visual model showing the value of open data
- The Empire strikes a light
- Ride and surf
- Time banking: The currency of the social world?
- When lobbyists don't matter
- Open Government: It's all about timing.
- Microsoft's e-government browser in Austria: Just a good service or a play to increase market share?
- Successful approaches to open government

Accelerator metrics in Canada (or anywhere)
I spent a little time at StartupWeekendHamilton3 in April as a mentor and was talking to a young founder who proclaimed that there was one great accelerator in Canada. Who he said it was surprised me a little and got me thinking, what makes an accelerator "the best" and why should an eager founder care? The baseline in my mind is Y-Combinator. No one can argue it is the best seed-stage accelerator based on its results. What is difficult for everyone to agree upon is what does it do to achieve those results or even harder, what defines success?

Downsides of Mistaken Penicillin Allergy
Hospital patients labeled allergic had longer stays and higher risk of infection
Penicillin allergies are the most common and most inaccurate drug allergies reported by hospital patients, resulting in treatments with potentially serious effects, says a study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
The research showed patients with presumed penicillin allergies had longer hospital stays and developed more hospital-acquired infections, compared with those not reporting an allergy. Patients could have better outcomes if hospitals routinely performed penicillin allergy testing during the admission...

WASHINGTON, May 24 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court, in a split decision, Thursday ruled an Arkansas man can be retried for murder because a jury deadlocked on some charges.
In the 6-3 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts, writing the majority opinion, said a defendant is protected against retrials -- double jeopardy -- only when the first jury had made a final decision on the charges.
"The double jeopardy clause protects against being tried twice for the same offense. The clause does not, however, bar a second trial if the first ended in a mistrial. Before the jury concluded deliberations in this case, it reported that it was unanimous against guilt on charges of capital murder and first-degree murder, was deadlocked on manslaughter, and had not voted on negligent homicide. The court told the jury to continue to deliberate. The jury did so but still could not reach a verdict, and the court declared a mistrial. All agree that the defendant may be retried on charges of manslaughter and negligent homicide. The question is whether he may also be retried on charges of capital and first-degree murder," Roberts wrote.
Lawyers for defendant Alex Blueford said he could not be retried on charges of capital murder or first-degree murder because the jury in the case (Blueford vs. Arkansas) had voted to acquit him and then split on whether to convict on a lesser manslaughter charge.
With the jurors deadlocked, the Arkansas judge declared a mistrial.
Blueford was charged with capital murder, first-degree murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide in the death of his girlfirend's year-old baby. He said the toddler was killed in an accidental fall.
Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito Jr. were joined by Justice Stephen Breyer in the majority opinion.
In her dissent, Justice Sandra Sotomayor wrote: "This case demonstrates that the threat to individual freedom from reprosecutions that favor states and unfairly rescue them from weak cases has not waned with time. Only the court's vigilance has."

In the depths of an Iowa winter
some fishermen descend in their own version of hibernation,
seeding our lakes and streams to only the hardiest of anglers.
But inside an Iowa DNR hatchery, a team of fishery experts is
giving every Iowans a reason to rediscover cold weather angling.
On a crisp winter morning near Manchester, DNR staff wade
through a series of outdoor raceways.
Each concrete channel houses hundreds of adult rainbow trout. By mid-January, this batch of
rainbows has reached a fertility climax as the ripe females swim
with bulging egg filled bellies. The freshly plucked fish are
shipped inside to build what DNR staff call the backbone of
Iowa's trout program. Dave Marolf: What we do in a
controlled environment here at the fish hatchery is a great
improvement on the survival that we could expect in the same
process that occurs naturally in our streams.
The females are temporarily dipped into an anesthetic bath
before staff firmly massage their bellies into a steady
stream of golden eggs. Male trout are then utilized to
fertilize those same eggs. Dave Marolf: Once water is added
to this mixture of semen and eggs, fertilization occurs
within seconds. There are literally billions of
sperm cells in this mixture. Fertilized eggs rest in trays
for 30 days under a constant flow of 52 degree water.
Dave Marolf: That is called the eyed eggs stage, when you can
see the eye through the eggshell you know you can handle the egg
without damaging the developing embryo.
That's when we first look at these eggs again.
The process is repeated over and over to create a staggering
number of fish, more than 250,000 trout for Iowa's aquatic
ecosystem. Dave Marolf: We pick out any
white, dead, organic matter. These are some eggs that have
died during the incubation process.
There's some eggs that were never fertilized.
But all of the white has to be picked from these eggs.
The fertilized eggs of January 2013 will be half pound trout in
2014. At that stage, the DNR raised
fish will be released into nearly 50 northeast Iowa streams
and increasingly into urban lakes around our state.
To witness the reach of Iowa DNR's urban stocking program,
just take a look at how far the staff will travel.
In this case, more than five hours and hundreds of miles from
the Big Spring Hatchery in northeast Iowa to Council Bluffs
on the Missouri River. Wayne Wingert: We usually start
loading early in the morning, get them loaded on and then the
fish fall really well. As long as you can keep the
temperature and the oxygen on the fish then they'll haul a
long time, stay on the truck and look really healthy.
After opening up a slice of big lake in Council Bluffs, 1,000
rainbow trout are pumped underneath the frozen surface.
Bryan Hayes: The whole state of Iowa is cold water at least six
months out of the year so from mid-October to mid-April we can
bring trout into places like Council Bluffs and create that
fishing we're looking for. Families of experienced and
first-time fishermen have been waiting all day for a chance to
catch a fish found more often on the other side of Iowa.
Wayne Wingert: The truck was 48 degrees and we'll see what the
lake is. You don't want the temperature
difference between the two to be too drastic or it can be hard on
the fish. Right at 40.
According to the Iowa DNR, urban stocking rose from just three
ponds 25 years ago to 16 quarries, ponds and small lakes
this winter, each one bringing trout directly to the people of
Iowa. John Batt: It has taken pretty
good hold as far as people getting out and getting the
trout stamp and using the facility.
I think the DNR officials have said that it increased
tremendously the first two years.
I think it quadrupled because you didn't have the trout
fishing on this part of the state.
Those first-time winter anglers can use that annual trout fee to
head to northeast Iowa in the spring, summer or fall.
In the meantime, thousands of people who may never have fished
or tasted trout are hooked for years to come.
Bryan Hayes: We love to see the kids come out.
We encourage parents to bring the kids out, expose them to
fishing. Kids gravitate naturally to it.
They have a ball. The trout provide an easy fish
to catch for kids and it's a big part of the program.

LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) Phil Mickelson opened his season with an erratic even-par 72 on Thursday in the Humana Challenge, leaving him nine strokes behind the first-round leaders.
Recovering from flu-like symptoms, the 42-year-old Mickelson had three birdies, a bogey and double bogey at La Quinta Country Club - one of three courses used in the pro-am event.
Jason Kokrak, Roberto Castro and James Hahn topped the leaderboard at 9-under 63. Kokrak had two eagles and five birdies at La Quinta, Castro had nine birdies at PGA West's Jack Nicklaus Private Course, and Hahn had nine birdies on PGA West's Arnold Palmer Private Course.
Russell Henley, the Sony Open winner Sunday in Hawaii in his first start as a PGA Tour member, had a 64 on the Nicklaus course.

I recently updated our site taking it from a multi-page site to a single page site.
The problem now is that when the site is searched in say Google, it displays the site as well as the indexed pages. So if a user clicks say our "About" page, it takes them to our now outdated material.
I am hoping to get some guidance on how to properly handle this.
I figure the first step is to now setup a robots.txt on our new index page to tell the engines not to crawl beyond index.php.
But in the meantime, how do I handle the fact that when searching our site on Google we may still have users who try to click on sub-page links?
Should I simply setup redirects while waiting for the engines to update?
And if so, do I need to setup redirects on each page using PHP or is this something I would take care of on our sites control panel?
I am not very familiar with redirects...
Any help is appreciated!

It looks like even Jennifer Aniston has gotten sick of romantic comedies. As the sandy-colored star promoted her self-titled fragrance in Mexico City this week, she talked about her latest project, country musical "The Goree Girls." Perhaps taking a cue from Gwyneth Paltrow's "Country Strong," Aniston is producing and starring in the true story of an all-female country western band formed at a Texas prison in the 1940s.
"The Goree Girls were "sort of the Dixie Chicks of their time," Aniston said.
The film was inspired by a 2003 article in "Texas Monthly" about the largely forgotten country act.
Aniston will be joined by ex-Destiny's Child chanteuse Kelly Rowland, and "Grey's Anatomy" stars Sandra Oh and Ellen Pompeo, according to Popeater.com.
"The Goree Girls" won't be Aniston's first production credit. She was an executive producer of pregnancy farce "The Switch," Steve Zahn comedy "Management," and the little-known "Becoming Icizzle," about a suburbanite with a rap star alter ego, according to IMDB.
Aniston tested her Southern accent in a 2004 "Saturday Night Live" spoof of "the greatest female vocalists ever to stand in front of wood paneling and sing."
"I've been hearing all around town that you've been loving my man / Well, I'll crack your jaw with a baseball bat / throw you in a garbage can," Aniston snarled, wearing a giant curly wig.
Aniston carried a tune on air again in September 2009, when Ellen DeGeneres put her on the spot on her show. Aniston thinly warbled a verse of "I've Got a Crush on You" and then covered her face with her hair.
"I'm absolutely mortified that you actually did that to me," she said. Then-"American Idol" judge DeGeneres reassured her, "I would put you through to the next round!"
