Mayor Don Wesely said today's decision by State Farm Insurance Companies to add jobs in Lincoln is great economic news for the City of Lincoln. State Farm is expected to add 140 jobs the first year and more over a three-year period. State Farm currently employs about 1,000 workers in Lincoln. He said the City and the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development (LPED) have been working with State Farm to make sure the company continues to grow and prosper in Lincoln.
"During the past few months, as State Farm finalized its plans for the future, we have worked hard and done everything we could to help State Farm succeed in Lincoln," said Mayor Wesely. "Our proposal clearly showed to State Farm the benefits of expanding its presence in Lincoln. The strategic location, attractive incentives, low operating cost and the skilled, available workers were presented to State Farm officials as resources for their success. Lincoln is a very attractive location for the company to consolidate its operations."
State Farm opened its main campus at 84th and "O" streets in 1988 and expanded in 1998. The plans announced today are a result of the consolidation State Farm announced in August 2001. The company, headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois, is reducing its 25 regions into 13 zones. The Heartland Zone includes Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The Mayor thanked the partners who worked with the City on the proposal for the State Farm expansion: LPED, Lincoln Electric System, the Lincoln Public Schools and the State of Nebraska.
Wesely said the City has a solid, stable and growing economy with a property tax rate lower than many other cities.
"At a time when many governments are talking about raising property taxes, dipping deeply into their reserves and making deep cuts, the City of Lincoln has held the line on spending and maintained a solid general fund balance," he said. "The value of building permits exceeded $500 million for the first time, and we are on pace to set another record. Our sales tax revenues are outpacing projections."
Mayor Wesely said Lincoln's education system is also a strong attraction for employers. "If you're an employer looking to hire technical and professional workers, you're going to find nearly 5,000 graduates in Lincoln looking for jobs every June," he said. "We have one of the best public education systems in the country, from kindergarten through the post-graduate level. It's a nurturing environment with a highly educated labor force.
"Lincoln is embarking on a journey to make the community more competitive in today's dynamic, high-tech economy. This announcement helps put Lincoln on the fast track to a higher level of economic success."

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic! Your post serves as a reminder to anyone who reads it to be aware of the implications our decisions as consumers have on others.
Thanks again,

I understand China should change some things, but I don't get what is bad about the pictures? Even from the link. I worked at a pie factory and a school supplies warehouse when I was in college and that's what it looks like in America too. It's a miserable job here too.

Yes! I am buying almost exclusively from Etsy and Nova Naturals... safe, quality items from the USA and Europe.

I agree with your post very much. I have been going crazy in my own mind dealing with an issue here in our home. The Christmas tree. We have always loved a real tree. We have always loved to cut the tree for our use etc. Then, in Sept in our area of the state of Texas we had some of the worst wild fires that have ever happened in Texas. Hundreds of people lost their home. Bastrop state park is all but destroyed...how can I go out and cut down a tree to bring it into our home to put some lights on it? That just does not seem right to me.
I am not sure what we will do this year.
I am a grand mother of 4 and I own a small home day care business. I try to give hand made toys. Toys made in our country. If everyone does their part we can help fix our economy.

Hi Amy!
I couldn't agree more with your thoughts.
We try to make handmade presents to each other, but if we decide to buy something, I prefer to pay a bit more for something made by someone with love and care.
Amy, I hope that it is alright with you that I tell you here about our new shop that you have just recently opened at Etsy, where we sell Waldorf inspired seasonal products - http://www.etsy.com/shop/AllMySeasons.
If this is alright with you, and of course, if you like them, I'd love to send you a set of our Seasonal Postcards, which you can see here - http://www.etsy.com/listing/85704789/black-friday-sale-waldorf-inspired. Please send me your address to samjerus(at)yahoo.com, if you agree,
I've been taking so much inspiration and wisdom from your blog for the past year or two, so that it will be the least I can give you in return.
Thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving!

2012 college grads enter improving job market
NEW YORK — The class of 2012 is leaving college with something that many graduates since the start of the Great Recession have lacked: jobs.
To the relief of graduating seniors — and their anxious parents — the outlook is brighter than it has been in four years. Campus job fairs were packed this spring and more companies are hiring. Students aren't just finding good opportunities, some are weighing multiple offers.
In some ways, members of the class of 2012 got lucky. They arrived on campus in September 2008, the same month that Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, touching off a financial crisis that exacerbated the recession.
On campus, they were largely insulated from the collapsing U.S. economy. While older brothers and sisters graduated into a dismal job market, they took shelter in chemistry, philosophy and literature classes.
They used their college years to prepare for the brutal realities of the job market that would await them. They began networking for jobs much earlier, as freshmen in some cases. They pursued summer internships not simply as resume boosters, but as gateways to permanent jobs. And they developed more realistic expectations about landing a job in the ideal place and at the ideal salary.
On campuses across the country, spirits are more upbeat this spring, and the employment outlook is especially promising, according to interviews with three dozen seniors and career center directors.
"It's just been such a dramatic change from what we saw in 2008," says Mercy Eyadiel, who oversees career development at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. Back then, openings disappeared overnight and companies were calling recent graduates to rescind offers. "It was a very bad, ugly situation."
The job market remains tough, even for those graduating from the best universities. Hiring is not back to its pre-recession level and plenty of seniors are leaving campuses without jobs. Yet this year's graduates are less likely to face the disappointment of moving back in with mom and dad, or being forced to work at a coffee shop to pay off loans.
"I was nervous that my college degree would go to waste," says Laura Mascari, who arrived on the University of Delaware's Newark campus in the fall of 2008. Mascari, who received two job offers, will work in marketing — her major — for chemicals giant DuPont.
Between September 2008 and August 2010, 6.9 million American jobs were eliminated. In the last year and a half, 3.1 million jobs have been created. The strengthening job market has made a big difference to seniors who are job-hunting in their final semester.

Evidently, the Mets weren't all that "disappointed" in the behavior of closer Francisco Rodriguez as word is the combustible closer could be available to pitch as soon as tomorrow. Of course, with their ace facing a civil suit for rape, just how much could they say?
There were suspension limitations without facing a grievance from the Players Association, but it would have been interesting to see them tangle and watch what lame defense the MLBPA would come up with to defend assault.
The Mets' handling of their off-season issues has been embarrassingly poor from the disciplinary stances of Rodriguez and Santana to their lack of activity in the off-season and at the trading deadline in bolstering its pitching staff.
I understand the clubhouse mentality of "he's our teammate and we support him," but I wonder how much they really will embrace him for his behavior in front of their wives, girlfriends and children. Carlos Beltran, the quiet one, came out strongest calling what Rodriguez did was wrong. Otherwise, the word "mistake," was thrown out too much.
Evidently, the words from his father-in-law, to quit being a baby, man up and play better."
Those words can apply to ownership on down.

On Sunday, every NFL game will be preceded by a moment of silence to recognize the events that occurred Friday in Newtown, Connecticut.
The Giants, who aren't playing at home this weekend, also will acknowledge the local tragedy by wearing the initials of Sandy Hook Elementary School on the back of their helmets for their game at the Georgia Dome, according to Rich Eisen of NFL Network.
The simple gesture sends a strong message that the grief extends to those with no direct connection to the families involved. And as we mourn together we hopefully will resolve to set aside politics and search for real strategies to protect our children and make them feel safe again.

Kevin Grandia | April 29, 2008
By Kevin Grandia • Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 17:13
Earlier today we broke the story about dozens of scientists outraged at the use of their good names in an article by Heartland Institute's "Senior Fellow" Dennis Avery (pictured above) posted on their website entitled 500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made Global Warming Scares.
The article is written by Dennis Avery, a "Senior Fellow" at the Heartland Institute. The article which was first published by another think tank called the Hudson Institute, where Avery is also listed as a "Senior Fellow," has bounced around the internet as proof that there is great doubts about the realities of human-caused global warming.
The letters are pouring in from angry scientists, with over 45 scientists now demanding that there names be stricken from the list, some are going much further and threatening legal action.
Here's some more quotes:
I am very shocked to see my name in the list of "500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made Global Warming Scares". Because none of my research publications has ever indicated that the global warming is not as a consequence of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, I view that the inclusion of my name in such list without my permission or consensus has damaged my professional reputation as an atmospheric scientist."
Dr. Ming Cai, Associate Professor, Department of Meteorology, Florida State University.
Just because you document natural climate variability doesn't mean anthropogenic global warming is not a threat. In fact I would venture that most on that list believe a natural cycle and anthropogenic change combined represent a greater threat."
Peter F. Almasi, PhD Candidate in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Columbia University
Why can't people spend their time trying to identify and evaluate the facts concerning climate change rather than trying to obscure them?"
Dr. James P. Berry, Senior Scientist, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
They have taken our ice core research in Wyoming and twisted it to meet their own agenda. This is not science."
Dr. Paul F. Schuster, Hydrologist, US Geological Survey
Please remove my name IMMEDIATELY from the following article and from the list which misrepresents my research."
Dr. Mary Alice Coffroth, Department of Geology, State University of New York at Buffalo
And if you REALLY liked this story, please consider helping us out with our research by sending along a small (or large) donation.

Get a lawyer
I'm no lawyer but boy I'd be asking all my fellow colleagues whether there is any basis for legal action. Mr Avery and his ilk need to be cut off where it hurts.
On the other hand, perhaps Keith Olberman will identify Mr. Avery as his worst person in the world.

Thanks for this timely exposure of the Heartland Institute. The tactics this group uses are exactly the same tactics used by creationists to try to discredit evolution. Why am I not surprised at this?

Hi ltroupe1, welcome to basenotes! l'm not an expert on any of your fragrances so can't make recommendations, but if you're looking for part-used bottles it is possible to find them on eBay. Good luck!
Thread: New and Ready to Smell Good
I am new to the fragrance world outside of the big box stores sell. I am 28 and I am from South Georgia so it is difficult to find anything other than the normal fragrances that all end up smelling similar.
I do have these: Burberry Brit, Burberry Beat, Burberry by Burberry, Cool Water, Marc Jacobs Bang, Eternity, and Polo.
I have these samples: Azzaro Chrome, Burberry Weekend, Lacoste Style in Play, Creed GIT/Himalaya/Alcier Alum/SMW, Sean John Unforgivable, Armani Emporio Black, and Gucci Rush.
I highlighted my favorites to give you an idea.
I would love to try some niche fragrances but I dont know where to begin other than just buying samples blindly. Is there anything I should try?
Also my budget is real low at this time so does anyone know where I can get almost empty bottles? I love samples but I like collecting bottles also, I really want a Creed SMW bottle because I love the way it smells.
Thanks and glad to join.

"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Hello and welcome. I can't help with recommendations, because our preferences in frags are pretty much polar opposites.
If you're low on the cash right now, there are some options. One good one is online retailers. I have had consistently positive experiences with Scented Monkey, Amazon.com (when Amazon is the seller), and Big Discount Fragrances.
Here is what I do: I log on to the sites, and choose men's fragrances, and sort by prices low to high. Whenever I find something that might interest me for a couple of bucks, I open another browser tab and check out the fragrance pyramid on Basenotes.....then I check the reviews. I will find some reviewers with similar tastes to mine, and if the purchase is cheap enough (just a few dollars) I will go for a blind buy. If it's not that cheap.....I will request a sample from Scented Monkey for a reasonable price.
It's amazing how many excellent, largely unknown fragrances are out there and can be had for next to nothing. It just takes a little homework. Happy researching!
Thanks gmmcnair & teardrop. I have an open mind with this right now so my preference now is due to the basic variety I have been exposed to in my area. I appreciate giving me a good starting point gmmccnair!
@ taint it sweet
I have shopped with both sites many times, and I've found them to be reliable with legit fragrances....I have never had a problem with living in the USA.
One thing to watch out for with Scented Monkey is the tendency on rare occasions to confuse products that are quite similar in name. I've noticed in these cases that they will give a description for the product that applies to another. I tend to steer clear of those products and order them elsewhere. (For example....on their site, they have Spelling Enterprises Beverly Hills 90210 products confused with Giorgio Beverly Hills)

No idea about this.
BUT WHY IS THE DEMO VIDEO SPINNING AND FLASHING. is that supposed to make it look cooler ._.?
It's the default way that zbrush records the history steps. Quite annoying actually but it's easier to make a timelapse from the history instead of installing capture software to record while you work..

Because you're never working in 3d. You're always working in 2d space and projecting the results onto the mesh, always. If they changed this, it would have all the same performance issues as Mudbox.

take that whatever way you like, it was a barebones fact, not an opinion.
I used to, but it's annoying fiddling with it every time I use zbrush. Is there a reason for them to take over the whole screen the way they do? Or is it just a design choice?

There are two types of Federal Direct Loans, Subsidized or Unsubsidized. Both subsidized and unsubsidized loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education. Nearly all students are eligible to receive them (regardless of credit score or other financial issues.) Both types offer a grace period of six months, which means that no payments are not due until six months after graduation or six months after the borrower becomes a less-than-full-time student without graduating.
Subsidized federal student loans are offered to students with demonstrated financial need: generally requiring a low family income. For these loans, the federal government makes interest payments while the student is in college. For example, those who borrow $10,000 during college will owe $10,000 upon graduation.
Unsubsidized federal student loans are also guaranteed by the U.S. Government, but the government does not pay interest for the student, rather the interest accrues during college. Those who borrow $10,000 during college will owe $10,000 plus interest upon graduation. For example, those who have borrowed $10,000 and had $2,000 accrue in interest will owe $12,000. Interest will be accruing on the $12,000. The accrued interest will be "capitalized" into the loan amount, and the borrower will begin making payments on the accumulated total. Students can choose to pay the interest while still in college.
If you are a first-time Oklahoma Christian borrower, you must complete a loan entrance interview (LEI) and a master promissory note (MPN) before loans will be disbursed to your student account.
- Direct Loan Entrance Counseling - For first-time OC borrowers only
- Direct Loan Exit Counseling - For students who have withdrawn or have graduated from OC.
- All students who are taking a Direct Loan through the Direct Loan Program for the first time must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN).
Both Subsidized and undergraduate student Unsubsidized Direct loans for 2016-2017 have a fixed interest rate of 3.76% for the life of the loan. Graduate student unsubsidized Direct loans for 2016-2017 have a fixed interest rate of 5.31% for the life of the loan. All Direct loans have a 1.068% default fee deducted from the total amount borrowed.

Best Assay Interval of 188.4 Meters Grading 29.8% Fe(T) or 42.6% Fe2O3 in Drill Hole LS-12-30
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 28, 2012) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) ("Fancamp" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from the fifth set of Iron assay results from the completed summer-fall NQ diamond drilling program at the Company's wholly owned Lac Lamêlée South Iron Project (the "Project"), located 100 km southwest of Fermont (Quebec) in the heart of the Fermont-Wabush-Labrador City Iron Camp. Drilling during this campaign totaled 12,606.6 meters in 38 drill holes (refer to the appended diamond drill holes location map). To date, some 57 holes were drilled on the Project totaling 18,220 meters.
Iron assay results are now completed for all 38 drill holes (LS-12-01 to 38). Assay results for drill holes LS-12-01 to 29 were issued in Company news releases dated October 22, November 6, November 13 and November 20, 2012. The best assay intervals for drill holes LS-12-30 to 38 are summarized below*. Quality Assurance and Quality Control protocols are also appended.
The drill programs of 2011 and 2012 were designed to fully test the iron mineralization to vertical depths of 350 meters. Two drill holes (LS-12-27 and LS-12-29) were drilled to vertical depths of 600 meters to 650 meters and intersected equally as rich iron formations as have been tested throughout the drilling campaign. Fancamp is currently constructing the 3-D model of the iron mineralization. PJL Géo-Conseil of Ste-Thérèse (Quebec) has been hired as the independent contractor for the upcoming mineral resources estimates and accompanying National Instrument 43-101 technical report slated for completion early in 2013.
This news release was reviewed and approved by Mr. Mike Flanagan, M.Sc.A., P. Geo., the Lac Lamêlée South Iron Project Manager, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 standards.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Protocols
Drill core boxes arrive at the Fancamp core logging facility on the Lac Lamêlée South Iron Project. Boxes are opened and depth tags are verified for errors. Each box is labeled with embossed aluminum tape stapled to box end. Numbers indicated hole and box numbers as well as "from" and "to" footages. Sampling is continuous through mineralized intervals and intermittent in other lithologies. Within mineralized intervals, samples taken are 2 metres in length of half-sawed core, or up to lithological or structural boundaries. One standard per hole is included within the sampling of mineralized zones up to 250 metres of hole length.
Holes deeper than 250 metres contain a second standard. There is one blank sample and one duplicated sample per 80 metres of core. Some 26 samples of varying lithologies have been quartered and sent to the principal laboratory and a second laboratory. Approximately 50 Davis Tube and density test have been conducted on a range of important lithologies. One-half of the sample is returned to the core box with the sample tag number stapled at the down-hole end of the sample interval. The other half is packaged in a plastic bag accompanied by its stapled sample tag number. The sample number is also written with felt pen on the bag.
Core logging is conducted using GeoticLog and Geotic Graph software. Data is transcribed for GEMCOM software. Geology is described using 13 lithological units and several sub-lithologies. Other parameters described in the logs include structure, magnetic susceptibility, rock quality data and mineralization. Rock quality data is described at varying intervals according to their common fracture characteristics, recovered lengths, RQD length (total lengths of sections over 10 centimetres) and number of fractures over the interval. Recovery and RQD percentages are calculated. Mineralization is described as a visual percentage of magnetite and/or hematite and a ratio of magnetite to hematite is generally estimated.
Sample bags are secured with staples and/or cable ties. Sample batches are tabulated for shipping control. Sample requisitions are included in the first bag of each batch. Samples are placed in large rice bags for shipping, all secured with a cable tie. Batches are separated into two groups corresponding to the two drills working on the project. Samples are transported from camp to a shipping depot in Wabush (Newfoundland and Labrador). Batches are placed on pallets and wrapped in plastic to secure the bundles. Samples are shipped by commercial transport to the ALS Laboratory Group facilities in Val-d'Or (Quebec). Shipping waybills are kept for tracking shipments as required.
Core samples received at the laboratory are sorted and verified against the original list to ensure that all samples have been received to check for discrepancies. The samples were entered into the laboratory information management system. The sorted samples are dried in the original sample bags to ensure that any damp fines did not remain upon transfer to drying containers. Once dry the samples were crushed 70% to less than 2 millimetres (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std #10 screen). Each sample was then riffle split and an aliquot up to 250 grams was pulverized to better than 85% to less than 75 µm (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std #200 screen). Quality control testing was conducted on random samples at both crushing and pulverizing stages to verify efficiency. Samples were then analyzed using the fusion XRF whole rock package which provide the analysis of Al2O3, CaO, Cr2O3, Fe(T), K2O, MgO, SiO2, TiO2, and single temperature Loss On Ignition, as well as As, Ba, Cl, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sn, Sr, V, Zn, and Zr. Each batch was accompanied by QAQC measures provided by the laboratory as well as those conducted during the sampling. These included the analysis of blanks, duplicates and certified standard reference materials. All QAQC standards are control charted to ensure that the data passes quality control prior to final release.
Upon completion of analysis and verification by the laboratory chemist, results were entered into the information management system and approved. Reports are then generated and a final quality control check is done by an independent person. This person also did the final certification of the data. Data was then transferred to Fancamp.

Highway designated D8 connects Prague with german city of Dresden. The last section has to pass over the Czech Middlemountains, area of distinc remnants of extinct volcanoes and deep valleys. One of them, particullarly beautifull, is Opárno valley. Precious species of flowers and small animals deserve untouched environment, thus bridge over this valley has to be build with help of provisory stell cables.
The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.Text by Steve Smith.

(Reuters) - Acquiring Sprint Nextel is so important to Dish Network Corp that founder Charlie Ergen said he could consider selling the company altogether if he loses a bidding war with SoftBank Corp.
Ergen also proposed a number of other possible outcomes on Dish's quarterly conference call where he fought back against SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son's criticisms of the Dish bid.
The executive said he could take on a bidding partner or sell some non-core Dish assets to pay down debt if a bidding war with SoftBank becomes too pricey. Dish made a $25.5 billion counter bid last month for Sprint against SoftBank's October agreement to pay $20.1 billion for 70 percent of Sprint.
"If we're unsuccessful with Sprint, obviously we have a lot of options." Ergen said. "It could include selling spectrum. It could include selling the whole company. It could include partnering with somebody else in the wireless business."
However the billionaire maverick who has a reputation for tough deal-making said that above all else, he wants to buy Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. mobile service provider.
"Our preference is Sprint. That's our focus," he told analysts and reporters on the conference call.
Dish wants to expand into wireless services as growth is slowing in its satellite TV business, which faces tough competition from cable, telecom and Internet video providers as well as satellite TV rival DirecTV.
So a combination of Dish with DirecTV, would be much less attractive than a Sprint deal, Ergen told analysts in response to a question about the possibility of a DirecTV deal.
"While there would be a lot of synergy and it would be bigger, it would be the same company," Ergen said adding that such a company would eventually need to be transformed "because the video business is mature and ultimately will go into decline."
Ergen did not say who could partner with Dish if it needed more financing than it could raise alone to win Sprint.
If it loses Sprint, Dish could partner with another operator such as No. 4 U.S. mobile service provider T-Mobile US to help develop its wireless service.
But Ergen said Sprint would be a much better option than T-Mobile US because of its size and the amount of spectrum Sprint owns through its majority owned venture Clearwire Corp.
In response to Son's warning to Sprint shareholders that a Dish deal would load down Sprint with too much debt, Ergen argued that he could reduce debt leverage in a few years or even sell assets if it needed to pay back debt sooner.
Another criticism about Dish's bid for Sprint was the fact that it has not yet made a firm commitment to raise the $9.3 billion financing it needs to buy Sprint, which formed a special committee of independent directors to review the Dish offer.
After telling analysts that Sprint has not yet let Dish look at its books, Ergen vowed to make a firm financing commitment only when it is the last obstacle preventing him from gaining access to Sprint's books.
"The firm commitment does have a cost to us," Ergen said adding that he doesn't want to incur those costs unless Sprint is seriously considering his bid. "Our bid is contingent on the fact that we get to do due diligence."
Janco Partners analyst Gerard Hallaren said Ergen's comments "puts pressure on the special committee to explain its view."
"Like many, we believe Dish has made a superior offer for Sprint than has SoftBank. The risk is that Sprint's board will favor an offer that preserve's at least some of their positions even if it jeopardizes shareholder wealth," Hallaren said.
Wunderlich Securities analyst Matthew Harrigan saw Ergen's laying out of all his options as the strongest indicator so far of the extent of his determination to buy Sprint.
"It certain seems like both sides feel it's a huge strategic priority this deal gets done," Harrigan said.
The conference call came after Dish reported its quarterly earnings. In the first quarter, it added a net 36,000 subscribers, down from 104,000 a year earlier. Analysts had expected 68,000, according to StreetAccount.
Net profit fell to $215.6 million, or 47 cents per share, in the first-quarter from $360.3 million, or 80 cents per share, a year earlier.
Revenue dropped marginally to $3.56 billion, mainly due to a weak performance of its Blockbuster video rental business, which Dish bought in a bankruptcy auction in 2011.
Blockbuster revenue fell 46 percent to $180.3 million, mainly because Dish sold the British unit of the video rental company to private equity firm Gordon Brothers Europe.
Analysts on average had expected earnings of 53 cents per share on revenue of $3.61 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Shares of the Englewood, Colorado-based company closed down 81 cents or 2 percent at $38.80 on Nasdaq.

Apple has been really busy the last few weeks and the Apple TV must have been feeling really left out seeing all Apple's other iOS devices receiving shiny new upgrades to iOS 6. Thankfully Apple hasn't been ignoring the Apple TV at all and has now released an update for the Apple TV second and third generations. The new update brings along some nice new features but it is not iOS 6. Instead Apple decided to go with iOS 5.1 but don't be put off by that, Apple has included a whole host of new features as shown below.
Accept invitations for Shared Photo Streams, browse photos and comments, and receive notifications of new content.
Send audio content from Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices (including AirPort Express and other Apple TVs). Also includes the ability to require an onscreen code to use AirPlay with your Apple TV.
Save multiple iTunes accounts and switch quickly between them.
Search movie trailers. In the United States, see show times for local theaters.
New Cascade, Shrinking Tiles, and Sliding Panels screen savers.
Reorder icons on the second page by holding down the select button on the remote.
SDH support for the deaf and hard-of-hearing as well as improvements to viewing and selecting subtitles.
Support for setting up advanced network options using configuration profiles.
Includes general performance and stability improvements.
So next time you fire up your Apple TV second or third generation you should see an option to upgrade to iOS 5.1. Of course if you have your Apple TV jailbroken, give this one a miss for now until we hear that it can be jailbroken again.

Sophomore Guard Scores All 15 Points in Final Period
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — While it is still early, the Yale University women's basketball team's chances of making noise in the Ivy League's race for two postseason bids took a major hit this weekend with back-to-back home losses to both Harvard and a Dartmouth team that has not beaten Yale since 2009.
Faziah Steen scored 19 points, 10 coming in the second half, to help Dartmouth hold off a second-half charge by Yale in a 63-48 win inside John J. Lee Amphitheater Saturday night.
The loss drops Yale to 6-12 overall, 1-3 in Ivy League play, while Dartmouth improved to 5-13, 3-1 in Ivy League play.
It was Dartmouth's first win over Yale since March 6, 2009, when the Big Green defeated the Bulldogs 61-51 in Hanover, N.H.
Sophomore guard Sarah Halejian was held scoreless in the first half, but she helped spark a second-half rally, scoring all 15 of her points in the second half to lead the Bulldogs. Senior captain Allie Messimer matched her career-high with 14 points, 11 of which came in the second half.
Tia Dawson was a force inside for Dartmouth, scoring 10 points to go with 11 rebounds and three blocks.
For the second straight night, Yale jumped out to a small early lead before watching its opponent take over with a momentum-seizing run. Against Harvard on Friday, Yale led 5-4 before the Crimson took over with a 17-2 run. Tonight against Dartmouth, the Bulldogs led 6-4 at the 15:41 mark thanks to 3-pointers from Messimer and junior guard Janna Graf, but Dartmouth used a 18-5 run to pull ahead 22-11 with 6:02 left in the half. After trailing 6-4, the Big Green outscored the Bulldogs 26-9 to close the half and go into the halftime break with a commanding 30-15 lead.
Yale was held to just 15 first-half points, shooting just 6-for-26 (23.1 percent) in the half and 2-for-13 (15.4 percent) from 3-point range. The 15 first-half points is the lowest output in a half this season.
Yale turned this around in a hurry to start the second half, opening the half with a 14-2 run that trimmed the deficit to 32-29 with 14:51 remaining. All 14 of Yale's points came from Halejian (8) and Messimer (6).
That, however, was as close as Yale could get. Dartmouth came alive with a 12-2 run to stretch its lead to 44-31 with 11:29 left, with six of those points coming from Steen.
The Bulldogs could get no closer than nine points the rest of the way, falling two games behind Harvard and Dartmouth for second place in the Ivy League standings. The top two teams in the league earn automatic postseason bids, with the League champion earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament, and the second-place team earning a bid in the WNIT. With 10 Ivy League games left, even a two-game deficit will be a tough mountain to climb for the Bulldogs.
Penn (Friday) and Princeton (Saturday) will come to New Haven next weekend to face Yale, with the Bulldogs celebrating Yale Athletics Pink Zones on Saturday. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m.

- Boulder City Council: No ban on recreational pot shops for now
LAFAYETTE -- The City Council on Tuesday night passed a controversial ordinance that places an eight-month moratorium on any marijuana-related retail and cultivation business, including those that "provide for the use" of cannabis.
The vote was unanimous, with council members saying it was a necessary "time-out" for the city to take while the state grapples with how to implement Amendment 64, which allows adults 21 and older in Colorado to possess and use small amounts of marijuana.
The vote was cast as a dozen or so people, several of whom held up signs during the proceedings, crowded the council chambers. One sign read, "Honor the voters decision about recreational marijuana," while another read, "We rep(resent) the 65%" -- a reference to the percentage of Lafayette residents who voted in favor of legalizing recreational pot use in Colorado in November.
"We're not saying no marijuana; we're saying there's something going on, it's a big change and we're going to plan for it," Mayor Pro Tem Steve Kracha said.
Councilwoman Christine Berg told the audience that "pressing pause is not a bad thing."
"We're not making a judgment -- we're just saying we need to take the time to do what's right for the community," she said.
At the center of the controversy is the The Front Tea & Art Shop, at the corner of Public Road and Cleveland Street in Old Town Lafayette, which allows people to bring in their own marijuana and consume it on the premises.
The language the city placed in its moratorium, which includes any business that "provides for or allows the use of marijuana or marijuana products" on site, would likely apply to the shop. A number of people, including owner Veronica Carpio, say it's a clear example of overreach by Lafayette.
They argue that Amendment 64 expressly upholds private consumption of pot as a constitutional right and only permits localities to regulate businesses that sell cannabis. Carpio said no marijuana is sold in her shop, the $5 cover charge she once collected is gone and marijuana intake is limited to vaporizers.
She said The Front Tea & Art Shop, which sells coffee, tea and works of art, is not a marijuana club. It is just a gathering spot where people can enjoy a hit off their own stash of weed, she said.
Carpio said she will sue the city, challenging its authority to prohibit adults from gathering at her shop and consuming marijuana.
"They left me no option but to litigate," she said, minutes after the vote was taken.
Boulder attorney Jeffrey Gard, who has represented numerous medical marijuana dispensaries, told the Camera last week that Lafayette's moratorium stands on "shaky legal ground" as it is written.
Another Boulder attorney, Thomas West, told the council the city is using faulty legal reasoning for its moratorium.
"You do not have the authority under the home rule authority to enact this statute," West said. "We're going to be forced to litigate this, and that's going to waste taxpayer money."
But City Attorney David Williamson spelled out in a memorandum this week that the moratorium was drafted not only on the provisions of Amendment 64 but also under the "home rule authority of the city to regulate businesses in general, as well as its home rule authority to regulate land uses."
He likened the restriction to the city's power to regulate where a shooting range might operate in Lafayette, despite the 2nd Amendment's guarantee of the right to bear arms.
"The moratorium is addressed to the regulation of businesses that have evolved as a result of Amendment 64, and it is not directed at the individual use of marijuana or the cultivation of marijuana," Williamson told the council.
Lafayette police Chief Rick Bashor said any action taken against Carpio's business would fall under the code enforcement powers of the city's planning department rather than the police department. He said the city could issue a "cease and desist" order to the shop and then pursue any violations thereafter.
Lafayette is the latest area municipality to put a stop to the licensing of recreational marijuana-related businesses while the state works on creating rules to deal with implementation of Amendment 64.
Erie, Broomfield, Lyons and Longmont have put or are putting into place moratoria while Superior trustees next week will cast a final vote on whether to place an outright ban on recreational marijuana-related businesses. The town already forbids any medical marijuana dispensaries.
The state is required to adopt regulations implementing Amendment 64 by July 1, and local governments must be ready to begin processing applications for businesses licenses -- if they choose to do so -- by Oct. 1.

Post subject: traveling with school groups
Yikes! I'm hoping to solicite some information from the teachers and professionals around here.
Background info: after I graduated high school I went to France and Italy (Paris, Tours, and Venice) with my French teacher of 4 years as a student. There were 6 students all together and 3 adults, mom, daughter and grandmother. This time around, ie next summer, I'm going as a chaperone/adult along for the ride. Big change is that there's 20+ people signed up.
Any tips on how to deal with traveling with that many kids (most will be 15-16 years old) without going insane or being
group of loud, over-the-top Americans?

Woodstoker I think it will be a wonderful experience. Imagine seeing Europe through the eyes of a 15 year old. Probably best if you start thinking like a 15 year old then you won't be shocked or disappointed with their behaviour. As for the loud American group. I once travelled with a group of middle aged NZ women on a work trip to Canada. I was embarrassed by how loud they were some days. But really I think it is just the excitement makes you forget where you are.
I'm seeing a friend this week who has just spent two weeks with a group of overseas students on a NZ trip. I'll ask her advice and get back to you.

woodstocker... will you meet these kids beforehand so you can establish a connection? If you can enlist the natural leaders in the group to help it could be easier.
I think everybody recognizes a "subject matter expert". If you know *all* about the area you're visiting, with plenty of asides/gossip/trivia you can hold their interest.

I've been a tourist guide for 29 years, usually ( actually 95%) grownups. But I had also youngsters, usually accompanied by parents/grandparents.
I hope you're not alone with the group, and actually I don't know what is your role : are you the guide, the tour leader, just a chaperon ? Are there parents in the group?
I presume you have a defined program, so first of all, I would say : stick to the program. I presume you're having a meeting with them before the trip, so I would advise to go over the program with them, so they will know what to expect. Stress the highlights and get them involved as much as possible: for example: let each one of them prepare a specific subject/topic connected the places you are going to visit, and so they will have the opportunity to participate , to "guide" their appointed site.. Kids , especillly teenagers, get bored very quickly by long lectures, so shorten the explanation to the minimum necessary. They will listen with pleasure to their friends. Maybe the main thing to do is to keep them active: walk, let them free to stroll around for an hour or two, give them responsabilities ( luggage in, luggage out, giving away the keys to the rooms, etc.) .
Discipline is a big issue- so rules should be set from the beginning. Seat rotation in the bus is usually a good idea - so each and everyone gets to sit in the front/back.
If you will spend a lot of time in the bus- prepare some society games, otherwise they'll get bored . Of course CD's are a must.
I could be of more help if you could tell me the itinerary and the structure of the group.
I know the touristic itineraries of "calssical" Europe pretty well.
P.S. Kids are loud. Don't worry. People understand.
No more war, let the kids travel and see the world safely

C&Z to the rescue!

But David, I
for this.
Details, details....
As for meeting all the kids/other adults, afterschool schedules are crazy for everyone involved. Several of us are either in college or grad school, so we're relying on technology to help fill us in (thank you email gods). The trip organizer has tried to have several meetings but there's always a couple of people that say they can't make it. Since there's no use saying things 8 thousand times if you can say it once, said meeting hasn't happened yet. The teacher is planning a mandatory meeting shortly though. We'll probably have a meeting in the spring again, to go over everything (probably at the teacher's house in the evening). One of these two meetings will be the 1st time for me to meet most of these kids, since I graduated when they were in 6-8 grade, depending. Last time I went there ended up being some major bullying issues that in fact, I just learned, continue to this day, almost 4 years later.
Running out of group leaders won't be an issue if I'm around
, somehow I usually end up at the front. LOL
I'm going partly as a chaperone, but more because I'm an experienced overseas traveler and have been dying to go to Rome. So as such, I'm along to help keep track of the kids (15-18 of them depending if anyone drops out, all from a small upstate town) and to be available if anyone wants to go do something different then what the rest of the group is planning on doing (say shopping instead of a museum-
gasp...maybe I will be the one at the museum and not the stores
). The trip organizer is my former French teacher who's done this a million times, but I've almost always either traveled alone or in a small group. Even she admitted that she'd rather have a few less people going.
Aside from myself and my teacher, her daughter (who lived in Paris), another teacher, and possibly a parent are going as well. I found out Thanksgiving weekend that one of my very good friends, who has never been outside the country, is going with her mom. The trip was her 21st bday present, so there will be a couple of people my age in the group.
We're going through a travel company that specializes in school groups, so the days are pretty full with "free time" doled out, usually one afternoon a city. I believe we have a walking tour in most of the places we're going, which leaves me with the itinerary...
12 days in mid-July:
Paris- 3-4 days, can't remember which. The "standards" Notre Dame, the Louvre, lunch at the Eiffel tower, a walking tour, free time, possibly a tour of the Catacombs. Some other things. When I went last time, we ate lunch at the Eiffel, which ended up being something of a disappointment b/c the youngest in the group was terrified of heights and stayed about 5 minutes before she
to leave.
Overnight train to Venice: stay 2 days I believe. My memories of my last trip to Venice have spurred me to take an intro to Italian class before we go. Remember...not everyone in the world speaks English!
Train to Rome: all together 3 days. My teacher wanted to limit the time we were here (noooooooo!) for the simple reason that the city is so big w/ so many things to do.
Day trips to Pompeii and Vatican City. Free time in Vatican City.
Ferry to Delphi: 2 days or so I think.
Athens: walking tour, and the major sites.
There may be more, but I actually signed up for this trip on faith alone, knowing they were going to Paris, Italy and Greece (the fact that the price is a steal helped too). Saw the itinerary for the 1st time this past weekend! Personally, I think I would prefer a less structured plan, but that's me and as I said before, I don't schlep 20 other people around with me. So in that regard, it's a good thing- but being held to a stop watch has never been my thing and makes a visit less enjoyable I think.

In this case..slippery when ice is covering every inch of every street. It was snowing, actually almost raining, I fell about two times, my hair was ruined, and I was lucky I had heels in a way because water never reached my feet.
No, I haven't been hibernating, nor did I fall off the planet, I've just been busy, the busiest I have ever been in my life so far, I haven't slept in 40 hours (which is a new record for me), and everything with University right now is just hectic. And it's not over yet! You'll see in a few days what I mean.
And just barely today I stepped out and convinced another stressed person like me to take these photos of myself and my beautiful new coat which I bought on sales. I really wanted it since the first time I saw it in late Fall. I feel really pleased.
Enough of this, I hope you'll have a much more relaxed week than I do.
And this is when I slipped and fell. Fortunately, nothing was broken.
Wearing: Bershka coat and sweater, thrifted shirt, vintage skirt, Leonardo boots, GAP bag (borrowed from a friend), Melo Melo scarf.

Hey, what's up? First I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Chris and yes I'm a noob. I was hoping someone here could help me out. We are currently trying to configure our PIX in Texas to our PIX in NY through a point to point T1 line. I personally don't have ANY experience with Cisco but the guys at work do. It seems that they cannot get it to communicate. I know this is not much detail but any help would be appreciated. I tried finding information on Cisco's site but was unsuccessful. If anyone here has done this before, I would love to hear how you set it up. Thanks alot!!! I appreciate the help in advance!!
I'm sure more information will be needed so just tell me what you need to know and I'll get on top of it.

From the wishbone offense to his two national titles and his ability to deliver a witty quote, Darrell Royal knew football and enjoyed being around it.
He spent 20 seasons coaching Texas—from 1957 until 1976—and amassed an amazing 167-47-5 record. The university announced Wednesday that Royal had died at age 88.
Happy Feller, the kicker who booted the last point in the Longhorns' 15-14 win against Arkansas in the 1969 game dubbed "The Game of the Century," said Royal kept the players on their toes back in the day.
"He was one of these types from that particular era that tried to keep an arm's length between himself and the players," Feller told Sporting News on Wednesday. "He was the type that if you had a couple of bad series, he was not opposed to pulling you out and putting in the next guy."
Feller, who owns Austin, Texas-based TeleDynamics, a consumer electronics distributing business, spoke about playing for Royal during a great time to play football at Texas, as well as that win in 1969 that pitted the top-ranked Longhorns and No. 2 Razorbacks. Here's what he said:
"When you came in the locker room, you had to turn to the left to go to the lockers and right there on the wall was the depth chart. Everybody was on one of those little hooks. You looked at it every day. Royal was the type that if you didn't hustle in practice, the next day you'd go into the locker room and you were No. 2 or No. 3 and somebody else was No. 1.
"I think that's an important lesson for kids today. It's not only important during the game in how you perform, but also that you better be at your best at practice and hustle because if you're going to loaf around out there, then when you come into the locker room the next day, you're not going to be in that No. 1 slot. That's the way he was. That was always his philosophy.
"The guys that really administered a lot of the discipline were all of his assistants. The last thing you wanted was a page to your room or somebody to tell you that Royal wants to see you in his office. That was the fear of God.
"One time I got that page. There was a little restaurant in Austin called English's. They were having some kind of special one weekend. It was a roundup in the spring when all the different fraternities had different events going on. They wanted me to come down to be in an ad for this food special. They had food on the table and a pitcher of beer on the table. I didn't think anything of it when they took these pictures. Sure enough I get a phone call from Royal's secretary: Coach wants to see me in his office. He had that picture in the paper and asked, 'What is this? Why in the world would you be in this ad with a pitcher of beer and a mug of beer on the table?' I was so embarrassed. Those were the kinds of things he really watched for. Needless to say, I never made that mistake again.
"In the game against Arkansas, we trailed 14-0. When we scored that first touchdown, I immediately saw Royal and the other assistants get together and even defensive coordinator Mike Campbell. They were saying that it's going to be easier to make two points now than it is if we have to do it the second time. I distinctly remember that so I knew exactly what they were thinking. An extra point is much easier than going for two points to win the game. So let's go for the two now where we may catch them off guard and then all we'll need to worry about then is the extra point if we get the score.
"I immediately knew when I overheard that conversation between the coaches that they were planning on getting the game tied up to be in a position where we have to kick instead of going for two to win the game. I immediately focused: This is one that has to be there. There can't be any doubt. My teammates came up to me and asked, 'Are you ready Happy? Because we're going to try and score again.' Donnie Wigginton came over and said, 'You can't miss this one.' I told Donnie, just put the ball on the tee. I'll kick. We do this every day, Donnie. Let's not worry about the other guy. The offensive line looked at me and I said let's all do our jobs. Thank God it went through. I probably couldn't have been on the plane on the way back. I would have probably been welcome as a permanent resident of Arkansas. No, I couldn't have come back to Texas if that would have happened."

New Penn Financial is looking to bolster its growing mortgage lending business in the state by hiring up to 18 to 21 employees for its Dover, Newark and Wilmington offices. It also wants to expand into Sussex County.
New Penn Financial's mortgage lending business picked up in the last half of 2012 in its Dover, Newark and Wilmington offices and that progress has continued into the first quarter of 2013, Regional Director Timothy Paret said.
As such, Paret and his partner, Regional Director John Ghanayem, decided they needed reinforcements to keep up with demand. New Penn Financial is looking to hire up to 18 to 21 employees in Kent and New Castle counties, Paret said. New Penn, a nationwide lender based in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., needs to hire six to seven people in each of his three offices in anticipation of a busy home buying season, Paret said.
New Penn Financial would also like to expand to Sussex County, Paret said. New Penn Financial already has one employee based in Rehoboth Beach, Paret said. But the firm is in conversations with a few people it is looking to hire to bolster its presence in the state's prime, beach resort market within the next six months.
New Penn Financial needs not just more loan officers to meet demands for loans, Paret said. The financial firm also needs more administrative personnel to assist with the work needed to deliver loans to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, he said. In addition, Paret's team in Dover manages the region and supports offices in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland – states also seeing real estate markets bouncing back, he said.
"There are a lot of people buying homes," Paret said. "The refinance market is still very strong. Interest rates are really low. And they've put in a lot of good programs to help people who couldn't traditionally refinance because of the value of their house or whatever. So, a strong buying market and refinancing have contributed to our need to hire," he said, echoing positive sales figures from the Kent County Association of Realtors.
In fact, some of Paret's customers have told him that the market has tightened up as more homes have been bought.
"There's certainly less inventory than there was a year ago," Paret said. "The buyers that we see today are good, quality buyers. They weathered the economic storm. They're people who have jobs and saved money. There's a lot more confidence. "
New Penn Financial has put an emphasis on growth in Delaware because of the strong market and the aggressive programs used by the Delaware State Housing Authority to help put people in homes, Paret said.
"It's a good market between New Castle County and the beach," Paret said. "There's a lot of business to be done. It's a priority for us."
Depending on the position, applicants will need to have a bachelor's degree or high school diploma and experience in marketing, financial services or administrative work, Paret said.
"New Penn has made a strong commitment to growing here in Delaware," Paret said. "We have a dedicated team of experts who work with local customers on refinancing options as well as first-time mortgage loans.
"Many customers prefer to work with us as opposed to a big bank. We offer more personalized service and have loan officers who guide customers through the entire process. Our Delaware management team is based here and we process loans here. That makes a big difference to the customer."

"Olympic" video games is a name given to sport video games including more than one event and/or several sports. They are one of the older video game genres, having first appeared with the 1983 arcade classic Track & Field. Since then, numerous titles have been released, usually in the immediate run up to the Olympic Games each game is intended to cover. Official IOC licenses became a norm since the first official game, Olympic Gold, was released in time for the 1992 Summer Olympics.
Evolution and criticismEdit
Companies like Epyx , Accolade, U.S. Gold and Konami developed many of the early games. The genre is often overlooked by the gaming industry and considered little more than a novelty or memorabilia attached to the event, with some considering it as purely an exercise in licensing and merchandise. Gameplay is the common target for detractors, since it usually consists of the 'button mashing' formula used in Track & Field or 'joystick waggling' as used in Daley Thompson's Decathlon.
However, since they are released at regular intervals, they can be used as a way to compare how graphics in computer games have changed over time: from the Color Graphics Adapter graphics of the first Epyx titles to the ever-evolving 3D computer graphics|3D graphics of more modern titles such as Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.

"Although it's not too hard to find non-leather shoes these days, finding smart non-leather shoes that are appropriate for formal situations continues to be difficult. NOHARM have stepped into this market (sorry!) with a touch of Italian style. These shoes are very comfortable, breathable, and they actually look like leather (rather than having that strange plastic look and rigidity that one often gets with vegan shoes). Furthermore, the service provided by NOHARM is outstanding -- I needed some shoes in a hurry, and they were able to ship them to me within a day of my order. They're not cheap, but if you're looking for some stylish shoes you won't be disappointed."

Lesleigh needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 33 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
CARDD - Connected Around Responsible Drinking Decisions
CARDD is a coalition of young adults, parents, professionals, and stakeholders aligned to create an environment that fosters responsible decisions around alcohol consumption and reduces drunk driving.
Possible Coalition Members
- Law Enforcement
- Government Officials
- Administrators
- Business Owners
Basically, the general public.
We would like a legal size, one page handout to use when meeting with potential coalition members. We want it to be informative, but also bold and interesting. I attached the flyer/handout I created and as you will see it is boring and wordy.
We would like you to revamp it for us. Although there is a lot of information in the flyer, a lot of it can be cut out. We want the designer to use a fresh eye to decide what should stay and what can go. Here is what we absolutely DO need to include (all this information is in the attachment (summary handout).
- The CARDD Logo
- The Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources Logo (can be small)
- Something about us being a Bergen County coalition with a diverse membership
- One or more statistics related to drunk driving; most likely should be the one about Bergen County students
- Something about each of our programs. The college part can be brief. But we really want to hightlight that we are working with the hospitality industry, bringing them FREE training and the "Who's Taking You Home Tonight?" promotional campaign.
- Our contact information and facebook page info.
