If you have no trouble getting an interview, but never seem to get the job or are always second runner up; you may be wondering what's going on.
It's difficult to know precisely where things go wrong with an interview. But you really can't judge yourself. And it is extremely rare that once you've been passed over that the hiring manager or human resources professional will tell you exactly what went wrong.
I suggest you find someone you trust and ask them to interview you. This needs to be done by someone who will tell you exactly what they see…even if it's not really going to make you happy. Someone who cares about you but doesn't love you would be best. Typically a family member is the wrong choice.
For example, you need to know if you are making eye contact or are you staring at the floor? Do you make so much eye contact you're coming across like a potential stalker? Or, if asked, could you even tell the interviewer what color shirt they are wearing?
There are so many reasons I've seen interviews go badly. The top four I hear regularly:
1. Candidate showed no interest or enthusiasm for the company or the position for which they were interviewing. In response to the question: "Do you know what we do?" The worst answer you can give is…"I don't know. I didn't look you up."
Alternatively, "Yes I've analyzed your company and done personal background checks on every senior manager and I know that you take sugar in your coffee and stop at Starbucks every morning on the way to work at 7:35 a.m." will NOT gain you any points.
2. Candidate arrived late for the interview.
Alternatively, arriving more than ten minutes early can be a little off putting as well. Sitting in the reception area for an hour watching people come and go isn't going to make a good impression.
3. Candidate seemed to only be interested in the salary and benefits package.
Asking questions about the company, the position and the general culture is perfectly acceptable. Asking about salary and benefits on the first interview is not. If that's the first question out of your mouth, you can pretty much be guaranteed that you will not be getting an offer. There's a time and a place for these types of questions and the first interview is not it.
4. Candidate arrived dressed inappropriately. While it is rare, I have seen candidates arrive for an interview in ripped jeans and a stained t-shirt for a senior level position. Unless there's an extremely good reason, dress as professionally as possible.
Acceptable exceptions: A senior level engineer went to an interview in a suit, tie and jeans because he broke his leg in a car accident and did not want to cut his dress slacks to go over the cast. (He got the job). Also, a professional administrative assistant went to an interview in a suit and heavy duty boots with ice cleats. There was eight inches of snow and freezing rain and she didn't want to fall down in the parking lot. (She got the job).
There's an expression that you should dance like no one is watching. It's a fine line to interview with confidence, like you don't need the job but are still very excited by the opportunity.

still very nice to have a decent kicker!!
still very nice to have a decent kicker!!
Wow, great kick. 48 yards on a wet field. Great job by Forbath.
Still, that's a failure. Offense has just fallen apart since the first quarter. We needed a TD. Ravens turned the ball over in their own territory. That should have been a TD. Baltimore has to feel good about that.
Morris: 90 yards on 15 carries. 6 yards per carry, 1 TD, 1 turnover.
Very impressed by the way the Ravens defense has adjusted. Skins offense was humiliating them in the first quarter. They fixed whatever problems they had and have done a great job since.
Boy, we're just getting gashed on the ground. Not stopping the run. Not stopping the pass. Maybe the worst performance by our defense in a season filled with bad defensive performances.
Gotta hold them to a FG. Then gotta score a TD on offense. Then have to start thinking about kicking on sides in the third quarter, just to keep the ball away from their offense.

Nokia's Q4 performance exceeds expectations
Preliminary estimates by Nokia indicate that the Finnish phone giant's Q4 2012 financial performance has exceeded expectations in their Devices & Services division, thanks in large part to the success of their Lumia line of Windows Phone devices. Their estimates suggest that Nokia achieved what it calls "underlying profitability" in Q4. In a press release, CEO Steven Elop shared his thoughts on the news:
"We are pleased that Q4 2012 was a solid quarter where we exceeded expectations and delivered underlying profitability in Devices & Services and record underlying profitability in Nokia Siemens Networks. We focused on our priorities and as a result we sold a total of 14 million Asha smartphones and Lumia smartphones while managing our costs efficiently, and Nokia Siemens Networks delivered yet another very good quarter."
According to the report, three primary factors contributed Nokia's successful fourth quarter:
- Mobile Phones business unit and Lumia portfolio delivered better than expected results; and
- Operating expenses were lower than expected.
- Devices & Services non-IFRS operating margin for the fourth quarter 2012 now expected to be between break even and positive 2 percent.
It is estimated that Nokia totaled EUR 3.9 billion in the last three months of 2012 from sales of 86.3 million units. Of the 6.6 million smart devices sold, 4.4 million of those were Nokia Lumia devices powered by Windows Phone. This news jump started Nokia's stock, which shot up about 17% at the time of this story.
Nokia's Q4 estimates are a much needed boon to the company, who experienced mass layoffs and saw its stock plummet and credit rating downgraded since moving to the Windows Phone platform. However, they have been sure to temper expectations for the first quarter of 2013. They project that "seasonality and competitive environment" will lead to a dropoff from the end of 2012 to the start of 2013.
We shall see what the new year has in store for Nokia.

namikral says:
How quick was that. Come on WPCentral, wmpoweruser reported this 6 hours ago.
nokiafan00 says:
It has been very disappointing to see WPCentral's reporting drop off - both in terms of quality as well as timing - over the past few weeks. They used to be my go-to site for all things Windows Phone. Not anymore.
Kormiko says:
Okay, well... bye.
namikral says:
yeah wpcentral is really losing it, not my 1st source of information any longer
JPDVM2014 says:
I would rather wait 6 hrs to find this out than read it on WMPoweruser. WPCentral has nothing to worry about from them.
antremo says:
nokiafan00 says:
I don't think it is about WPCentral vs any other site, really. It is about them broadcasting information and/or news that directly impacts the Windows Phone ecosystem and community in a timely manner. As an investor, you'd rather not have to wait 6 hours to read such relevant news items now, would you? You would always then be behind the eight ball!
Just my 2 cents here.
blackprince says:
Investors should be getting email alerts about the stocks important to them and not worry about a fan site for such imortant decision making information.
venetasoft says:
Agree !
jbrinkman66 says:
As an investor, I would not be waiting on either WMPowerUser or WPCentral, I would be watching for company press releases and analyst reports on my own so that I get the information as quickly as possible and unfiltered.
ladydias says:
On the one hand it's nice to know these things earlier but on the other hand I like that wpcentral takes the time to verify all of the facts before posting them, unlike wmpoweruser. Even though I regularly check both sites, only wpcentral has me checking the app every half hour for updates. I freely admit it's one of my addictions.
jabtano says:
Really I get my Phone news here. along with some win8 news. when I tend to my investments in the future of me and my family it's not WPC. I generally know what going on all day with my investments I don't need to come here for that info. Now if you want to pick apples and oranges there is no way you can compare WPC to WMP one has integrity the later does not. one will wait and make sure that what is posted is as accurate as the source the later does not. the list goes on it doesn't stop there so do not even compare the two.
Aaron M says:
100% Agree! I use to follow WMPoweruser because they had the most news the quickest. But after regurgitating numerous idiotic rumors based on miss-quotes, or miss leading headlines, I finally stopped. WPCentral is now my only place for WP news because they have the highest level of journalistic integrity amongst the numerous tech blogs. I especially love their Rumometer. It shows me this site is willing to tie their credibility to what they report.
DaSchnee says:
Same here, I deleted their app and browser bookmark a few weeks ago because I just couldn't take their level of stupidity any more.
Residing says:
They definitely don't have anything to worry about from WMPU. However, I did read this info at MyNokiaBlog and Verge prior to seeing the story here.
As long as the story is reported, accurately, is really all that matters.
invertme says:
WMPoweruser's reporting is terrible. So bad I actually took them off all my news feeds along with ZDnet.
WPCentral is way better.
invertme says:
double derp
jbrinkman66 says:
I wouldn't call what wmpoweruser does reporting. In most cases it is just regurgitating what they find on another website.
pizzalovinhulk says:
Who gives a shit how fast WPCENTRAL reports its far better reading from this site and commenting on here then anywhere els sho some love
guitaristd00d says:
schlubadub says:
6 hours? Get the pitchforks out, what an outrage!
rocky 710 says:
Good for Nokia and importantly good for windows phone way 2 go...happy Lumia customer :)
CobaltDragon says:
It would be neat if they sold as many WP phones as Asha phones! Maybe someday soon.
LazySunday says:
Soon that may happen as soon as L 620 and 520 would hit the shelves in the low cost markets
aln12483 says:
I have a $7 price target (long call option) for NOK, this is only the beginning y'all!!
Sam Sabri says:
That's a nice jump in the stock today! Shareholders will be happy.
Aaron M says:
Back when it hit $2 a share I planned on buying a couple thousand worth as a bet. Boy do I wish I had gone through with that. Hindsight...
jabtano says:
I tucked in at $4.00 then went all out at $1.66 I figured Microsoft would go for the buy if got real bad and I would make out short term My goal is long term I can see this company in 24 months time being in the $16-20 range or better.
rodneyej says:
Slowly but surely!! I'm sure if they continue to push out new Lumia devices at a great price then everything will turn around.. Now, I think its time for some different form factors, like a Lumia with a physical keyboard.
aln12483 says:
Let's get a Nokia tablet out too!
JPDVM2014 says:
It's a nice idea, but it will never happen, imo. The market has already moved away from physical keyboards, it wouldn't make any sense to sink money into developing one when they are still trying to make WP viable. Once we have some decent marketshare numbers, then maybe, but not now.
rodneyej says:
Wrong! There's still a strong market for physical keyboards, maybe not in the high end, but a large amount of people still want them.. Diversity is going to be absolutely necessary.. I will agree with you that they might need to wait a while before doing such,, but then again why wait? The time is now! The market is not going to stop and wait for Microkia to catch up.
David Ray says:
A physical keyboard? Have we not learned our lesson from Blackberry? They physical keyboard would be suicide.
rodneyej says:
It would be a qwerty slider. Very many people still want this..
noirsoft says:
While I'm going to try not to upgrade from my 920 until my 2 year contractis up, an equivalent phone with a qwerty slider would be very tempting. My first WP7 phone was the LG Quantum specifically because of that. My previous WM phones were also sliders.
jbrandonf says:
Yea I'm curious how much if a market there is for this. Blackberry is about to find out in a few months with the release of their keyboarded phone, but I would like to see WP take another shot at some QWERTY sliders like the Quantum and the DVP.
welsbloke says:
We are all doomed I tell you! Doomed! ( scotish accent require)
paulheu says:
Stocks up 18.35% at $4.44 right now.. good stuff and well done, now keep the momentum going!!
cdb033 says:
frugo says:
Still 4.4 milion devices that's maybe half of it is 920. That is not a number to be proud of.
WinFan1 says:
Its Lumia as a whole that matters. Ultimately they are all windows phones....
LazySunday says:
Well, but L 920 have supply constraints. In a conference call, Elop admitted to cautious order of components and also supply shortage that contributed to reduced production of L920. Probably the next quarter should give us more detail... Moreover, L920 was launched in India today. I went to pre order mine yesterday and there were already more than 20 by then... People are waiting for L 620 that is going to be launched in first week of Feb.
rmichael75 says:
Exactly. They sold this inspite of limited stocks. If they had plenty they might have a blown out quarter.. WEll anyway it is better.. they go the momentum now.. Now once they laugh it in india and China starting this quarter.. WEll they will have a big quarter q1 if they solve the supply issues. and with 620 coming out.. 620 will be huge in india and china and lant america etc..
pulkit10 says:
They exceeded all expectations and thus, the number is something to be proud of. It'll take a while before they start reporting Samsung like numbers.
Residing says:
@fugo...They missed the entire month of October to release any new Lumia devices due to Microsoft releasing WP8 so late. 4.4 million is good considering. Fortunately, they had the Asha line, and no doubt some Lumia 7.5 devices to sell as a cushion.
welsbloke says:
It beat theirs and markets expectations. That is something to be proud of.
jason_tee says:
A windows 8 tablet from Nokia would be nice to see!
based_graham says:
I hope Nokia releases 3 different handsets at MWC to raise that share price to 5$.
Nokia ASHA running WP8
Nokia Lumia 930 with a bigger pureview camera different chassis
Nokia tablet running Windows RT
Then annouce global availablity for the 920 and other devices.
Rolling thunder!
Trappiste says:
"Nokia ASHA running WP8"
If it runs WP, it is Lumia; if it runs S40 touch, it is Asha. So no Asha WP's. If it runs something else, it is called just, well, that (and those were sold in the range of 70 million units...)
Anyway, a major contributor to the good result seems to have been the network business unit, which is unrelated to WP and phones.
Ahmed Nematallah says:
"Anyway, a major contributor to the good result seems to have been the network business unit, which is unrelated to WP and phones."
yeah a major contributors to those millions of phone sales
Ahmed Nematallah says:
as Trappiste said, you can't have WP8 ashas because the asha brand is for S40 devices
a bigger lumia 930 would be suicide, that's what killed HTC, outdating their flagships in a month or so
a lumia RT tablet would be nice, especially with nokia's build quality and with a qualcomm snapdragon 800
global announcement of lumias would be excellent, I really want that, especially with the lumia 620 and 820 (at US prices), but I fear that would be impossible (and it actually contradicts with the 930 part you said) because they don't have enough lumias for their current markets, surely they won't have enough for more markets
ejlee072006 says:
O yeah
ricardios says:
Good job Nokia. Keep up with the production.
RolexDPracer says:
Great to hear. My 822 is my first Nokia device and I Iove it!
Big Supes says:
Nokia is making a big comeback. Just wait until the 920 is on most carriers...
dkp23 says:
Take your profits now!, Stock going to go down by 10% tomorrow and then sustain itself and then buy again.
Trappiste says:
This is true. On Nokia, the stock always does that.
dkp23 says:
And a ton other stocks as well especially tech stocks....Thats why people always say buy on the dip, tomorrow will be a dip.
Happens a lot on a lot of biotech stocks, but do people want to invest in high risk biotech stocks?
viktor_k says:
I would wait until next week, isn't friday the official numbers day for them? Buy on the rumor and sell on the news... It will most definitely be back into 4$ mark before February.
Eirenarch says:
WTF is "underlying profitability"?
mister2d says:
The time it took to type that, you would have had the answer by now if you did a Google search.
koolrosh says:
Blackberry currently sells more smartphones than Nokia sold in the quarter and Blackberry has 2 year old phones and are about to launch their new line-up in 20 days.
Simon Tupper says:
But Nokia is not the only windows phone maker... If you want a windows phone you have a choice between HTC, Nokia and Samsung. If you want to by a blackberry, then you only have the choices offered by blackberry.
Ahmed Nematallah says:
lol, they are much much cheaper and more available, plus nokia counts ashas as smartphones
Rauliulian says:
What about a 4inch high end device?not everyone wants a large phone. I like lumia 920 but its huge, not heavy, i like heavy. I'll stick to my 800 :)
vlad0 says:
From 25+ million (Symbian) in 2010 down to 4 million (windows phone) in 2012 .. considering the market expansion, I fail to see how this is good news.
theflew says:
The difference is the average profit per device. It's currently at ~$240. Apple basically killed their profit margin on Symbian devices. Of course Symbian devices sold but with little profit. So the only way to grow was to sell more devices which requires more manufacturing capacity, parts, logistics, etc.. Instead they are selling less Lumias, but are more profitable. So as they sell more they will make a lot more. At this rate if they sale 6.4 million in the Q1 they'll make an additional ~ 0.5 billion in profit.
This is Apples game... Apple doesn't need Androids marketshare because they make so much profit off of the devices they sale. Samsung is making a profit by shear volume which could hurt them in the long run. The biggest concern for Apple is declining profit margin.
WinFan1 says:
Why must people be so negative. They sold decently regardless of negative comments and talk as well as more than they were expected to. This is a good day.
Not to mention the lacking of stock
brandmessage says:
I don't get it today, everyone is saying nokia is doing well today with 4.4 million lumias sold in q4, up from 2.9 in Q3. But in Q2 2012 they sold 4 million Lumias. With all the wp ads and the Christmas season boost they only managed to sell 400,000 more lumias. beating lowered expectations but still not seeing too much traction. let the fanboys attack. I love my lumia btw
ChristianKing says:
Great numbers for a set of phones that's been available for 7 weeks. This projects to 50 Million smart phones sold over a year. Its pretty amazing that if they had the parts they could have easily broken 5 million. The interesting part is that the phone people really want is only available on AT&T. Once the exclusive agreement is up, it will.be interesting to see if they roll out a new device for multiple carriers or distribute the 920 to Verizon and TMobile.
Sebaslight says:
the galaxy note 2 sold 7 million in that same quarter...... just saying
ayejay0601 says:
However, this was only on sale for 2 months, not three
David Ray says:
How many networks is Note 2 on? How many is the L920 on? How long has Samsung been popular? How long has Android been adopted by the population? Your comparing apples and oranges.
santillanavila1993 says:
You make the this announcement sound even better David Ray.
tekhna says:
4.4 million phones sold or shipped?
David Tomilson says:
Sold. They said sold. How ignorant must you be, seriously.
tekhna says:
Apparently ignorant enough to be suspicious of elisions when companies have a track record of intentionally trying to gloss the distinction.
viktor_k says:
Great timing, the whole tax invasion thing in India has been some bad news for stock. I hope there's enough profit in the Lumia line to offset the 500 million of taxes that India wants, which I doubt, but Asha phones will probably save the day.
schlubadub says:
Cellus13 says:
Yay! So proud! I've been waiting for this news. It was alot with limited stock! That's very impressive. Now hopefully Nokia gets the message that people are interested in buying their Lumia phones! And increase the stock!!!
SandyPP says:
I've always been a huge fan of Nokia's hardware. Remember the 8210? I had two of those. Software-wise I can't say they've done much. Switching to windows wasn't great news for me either. I once got two t-mobile shadows for free (they were free so why not get them) and they seriously sucked. Yo ucould argue that the shadow has an early version of windows mobile which is true but I was thinkign about whether I should even get the Lumia just because of my previous bad experience with windows mobile. As for the stock... we all know where the money is right now and investors do too, just look at the numbers: http://cell-phones.top5.com/best-selling-android-phones/
joeynox says:
The difference is wpcentral usually puts their own words I to an article or topic where as wmpoweruser just copies and pastes other sites articles
Murgatroyd7 says:
Nokia made my bank account very happy.
Micah Dawson says:
Whoo Nokia!
dogfish54 says:
Nokia are turning around despite windows phone unfortunately. Their networking equipment and Asha business are doing very well. Microsoft need to step it up on many levels. In my opinion, Nokia have been extremely patient with them, I'd have ditched em and gone to a multi-OS approach like HTC.
Qaaf says:
Almost everyone here wants WP to do well, but lets be objective. Only 4.4 million Lumias? How many units did they sell in the previous quarters? Don't think this that much of great news, maybe a step in the right direction. I know it only includes the WP8 for two months, but in light of Ballmer's statments of selling 4X and 5X as much, you would expect a lot more. Also, what happened to those suggestions of 10 million WP based on Facebook activations? Doubt HTC and Samsung sold 5.6 million units. Just my thoughts.
Lumia920owner says:
In the previous quarter they sold 2.9m according to Engadget
WanderingTraveler says:
Take note that in Q4 2011, Nokia sold less that a million units.
That's all I have to say.
Lumia920owner says:
I've been out of the game of share dealing for about 6 years, you guys have made me want to go back into the game, Thanks. What do you guys suggest ? wait till it declines by 10% then buy ? or wait till it drops further ?
Eddie_Lomax says:
And those reports from Forbes are proven then to be market manipulation.
It looks now that the paid hacks there were trying to push the stock lower, grabbing some shares, and then getting the nice uptick.

Hi :). My name is Mat, I am 21 and have just recently familiarized my self with this whole Raw Food thing.
Let me just give a bit of a background and what has led me up to wanting to go all raw and organic.
So ive been dealing with alot of digestion issues for the past while now, and I think this poor digestion is a keyfactor to my near constant anxiety and brainfog. Over the past year ive been on a program called truehope, this company distributes some top of the line multivitamin made to treat mental illness. Theres lots on youtube about it.
Anyway, I had decent success with it. Before it I was on some antipsychotic which did nothing but make me all lazy and emotionless. The withdrawal was horrible!
Now im at this point, where I dont think all this anxiety I am going through is still withdrawal anymore, It feels like something isnt working right inside my belly. Everytime I eat meat, bread or things high in sugar my anxiety and brain fog gets soo extreme, I normally just lay in bed and pass out.
Ive been doing alot of soul searching over the past several months, I kept looking for a way out of this mess so I could function like a normal human being. Sure enough I met this guy and we had all these deep convo's about nutrition and health, then He brought up about being vegan and how he feels soo much lighter and calmer then ever. He also told me how he used to be in rough shape and doped up on some anti-depressant.
So ever since ive been researching about raw foods and quitting meat and all that stuff. And I started experimenting with eating nothing but ground grown foods and viola I think I found the solution to all this mental/physical nonsense ive been going through.
At home ive been struggling with trying to maintain this diet though, especially since my dad thinks its a silly idea and he is in the mind set that humans need meat to function(And I dont argue so I end up just eating meat). Good news though! I am moving out in a week, so I can fix my body :)
So theres my story :) It feels as if all this praying to the universe has brought me here. I believe faith is the key to success.

Perfect Stove for Base Camp / Campground

Comments about Coleman Dual Fuel Standard Compact Stove (2 Burner):
Runs on regular gasoline (or Coleman Fuel) so if you're packing gasoline anyway, for ATV's and the like, this stove is perfect. Yeah, you have to pump it, but if you don't fill it with too much fuel (leaving room for more air) it will run longer than it will take you to do the cooking. Gasoline packs plenty of enegy, so this stove gets VERY HOT, even at high altitudes.This is not a stove for the mechanically inept, but my daughter learned to use it in a few minutes.

The ribbon-cutting will be held at the center, located at 515 West Blvd. in Rapid City. The media is invited to attend. The Higher Education Center - West River was established to provide a "one-stop shop" for all West River area students considering enrolling in higher educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate level. Some courses and programs will be taught at the center. The purpose of the Center is to provide a cooperative and collaborative effort from the participating universities — Black Hills State, School of Mines, University of South Dakota and South Dakota State — to meet the needs of students — especially the large population base in western South Dakota. "We are providing a coordinated effort for course offerings for all residents in this area" Dr. Dean Myers, vice president for academic affairs at BHSU and director of the center, said. "By contacting the center, students can get information about financial aid, apply to the universities and meet with representatives from the schools. The Center is designed to handle all of their needs." The center is striving to be responsive to the needs of residents in the entire West River region. One of the first tasks for the center will be assessing what those needs are and formulating a plan to meet them. The Center plans to conduct market research to find out what programs are needed and what needs are currently not being met. "We are looking at how we can be more efficient in offering higher education options" Myers said. The Center will work as a clearinghouse to avoid duplicate coursework and facilitate a plan to share professors for courses offered by separate universities. The center's location near downtown Rapid City includes more than a dozen offices and a large classroom and houses representatives from several universities. The Center is under the direction of a consortium composed of BHSU President Dr. Thomas Flickema and School of Mines President Dr. Charles Ruch as well as Dr. Tad Perry, executive director of the South Dakota Board of Regents.

They are sponsored by the student chapter of the Mathematics Association of America. "The School of Mines recognizes the important role that mathematics plays in modern life" Dr. Kyle Riley, assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, said. "Our engineering and science programs exemplify the power that comes from working with mathematics." From the time astronomers began exploring the universe hundreds of years ago, mathematics has played a critical role in observations and discoveries. To honor math's role in the Final Frontier, theme of this year's Mathematics Awareness Month is "Mathematics and the Cosmos." Mathematics Awareness Month is held each year in April to increase public understanding of — and appreciation for — mathematics. The celebration began in 1986 as Mathematics Awareness Week with a proclamation by President Ronald Reagan. "Mathematics has a rich history with the study of the universe, exploration of our own solar system, and the development of the instruments and tools we use to investigate the cosmos" Riley said. "Many of the amazing images we receive from telescopes, satellites and space probes are subject to elaborate mathematical and statistical processing techniques." Mathematics is also a valuable asset in the theoretical models that scientists use to study the fundamental nature of space, matter and time. In fact, mathematics is at the core of South Dakota Tech News Report for May 2005 BOR Meeting 11 of 18 our attempts to understand the cosmos at every level — Riemannian geometry and topology provide models of the universe, numerical simulations help us to understand large-scale dynamics, and celestial mechanics provide a key to comprehending the solar system. Whether you are talking about Galileo or Stephen Hawking, mathematics has always been a vital part of exploring the Cosmos. More information about Mathematics Awareness Month program can be found at
The School of Mines reminds local high school math teachers that the West River Mathematics Contest will be held at the university May 9. For more information, call 394-2471. #30# School of Mines Robot Takes Second Place A South Dakota School of Mines and Technology robotics team placed second out of 26 teams at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers region 5 competition in Denver, Colo. The School of Mines entered three robots. All three successfully scored points, with Robot 1 pulling in second place. "The participating students not only learn technical skills, but also leadership, project management and teaming skills" team advisor and electrical and computer engineering professor Dr. Michael Batchelder said. "The skills that lead to success in the competition also lead to success on the job after graduation." The competition required students to design and build a robot to autonomously transport cargo from room to room in a simulated warehouse. Each robot received an initial set of commands from its controller. The robot then had to follow markings on the floor of the warehouse to reach its destination and complete its task — picking up a soda can and moving it to another room. Each robot also had to avoid Barbie dolls dressed in yellow overalls that simulated human workers in the warehouse. Each robot needed to have a wireless communication capability to receive commands, a drive system for motion, a navigation sensor array to move from one room to another, a manipulator to handle the container, and a processor and software to coordinate all of these elements. Each robot had two, three-minute chances at the course and was scored for how well it accomplished its task. The team members: Bryce TeBeest, electrical engineering, Casper, Wyo.; Eric Minnaert, electrical engineering (master's), Madison; Evan Hyatt, computer engineering, South Dakota Tech News Report for May 2005 BOR Meeting 12 of 18 Longmont, Colo.; James Free, computer engineering and computer science, Rapid City; Jill Anderson, computer science and math, Pierre; Amanda Dinstel, electrical engineering, Alzada, Mont.; David Huft, electrical engineering, Pierre; Josh Bates, electrical engineering, Sioux Falls; Josh Vukelich, physics, Rapid City; Leo Buzalsky, computer engineering, Amidon, N.D.; Nick Kingsbury, electrical engineering, Rapid City; Ryan McGonegle, electrical engineering, Sioux Falls; Seth Klausen, computer science, Rapid City; Simon Haumont, computer engineering and mechanical engineering, Kearney, Neb.; Steve Larsen, computer science, Pierre; Steve Malsam, computer engineering, Aberdeen; Tara Lawson, industrial engineering, Valley, Neb.; Tony Amundson, computer engineering and electrical engineering, Hutchinson, Minn. #30# School of Mines Presents Spring Concert The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology presents its spring concert, "Spring Flowers" at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 16, in the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center Theater.

Hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar will be available. #30# ME Design Team Takes Fourth Place The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology's Mechanical Engineering design team finished in fourth place during a recent American Society of Mechanical Engineers competition in Grand Forks, N.D. Each of the 23 teams from universities across the country was challenged to build a remote-controlled vehicle that could carry rice up three steps and dump the grain into a container. The steps the vehicle had to climb were daunting compared to the vehicle size at four inches, and was equivalent to a Hummer H2 climbing a 5-foot-9-inch wall. South Dakota Tech News Report for May 2005 BOR Meeting 13 of 18 The team that dumped the most rice in 10 minutes won. The School of Mines vehicle ran on eight "C" batteries and carried an average of 3½ pounds of rice per trip. In the seven trips the vehicle made, and it delivered 25 pounds of rice. The competition reflected a real-world engineering challenge developed by Engineers Without Borders. Companies and organizations everywhere have difficulty transporting bulk materials in moderate amounts, particularly when the materials must be carried up stairs or over hills and rough terrain, or when the space available for moving the materials is too small to allow conventional automotive vehicles to be used. "This competition is important for students because it gives them a real-world problem with societal implications" Jason Ash, team advisor and instructor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, said. "They can apply what they have learned to design and build a vehicle to meet the requirements. In addition, students learn the value of teamwork by breaking up the project into different areas and being responsible for their part of the project. This team worked well together in terms of staying coordinated with one another and bringing the whole system together a full two weeks prior to the competition." Engineers Without Borders will assess the different design concepts, which could then be applied to a larger scale bulk material transporter. The School of Mines team: • Brandon Hinz, Mechanical Engineering, Lakewood, Colo. • Kirk Phinney, Mechanical Engineering, Ree Heights • Blaine Wilkinson, Mechanical Engineering, Box Elder #30# School of Mines Forms Partnership With RESPEC The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and RESPEC have formed a partnership that will create new research and development opportunities. Tom Zeller, president of Rapid City-based RESPEC, and Dr. Charles Ruch, president of the School of Mines, signed the agreement Monday. "RESEC and the School of Mines have unique resources" Zeller said. "This agreement will allow us to jointly pursue larger projects that will bring more research dollars into our community." "We are pleased to enter this partnership with RESPEC" Ruch said. "It will allow us to formally work together as partners on a variety of research projects." South Dakota Tech News Report for May 2005 BOR Meeting 14 of 18 Both RESPEC and the School of Mines will be able to leverage the partnership when applying for research grants. Those projects could allow RESPEC to grow and will offer School of Mines students new opportunities to learn the skills future employers want and need. The projects also will help the two investigate new technologies and products. "We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with important businesses and industry in our community to advance science and technology" Ruch said.

The three-year, $394,000 project is funded by National Science Foundation. School of Mines researchers are collaborating with scientists from the University of Arizona and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The researchers are investigating the fundamental nature of thunderstorm electrification through computer modeling and comparing the results with observed storms. Lead researcher Dr. John Helsdon, a professor in the School of Mines Department of Atmospheric Sciences, and his team model lightning by simulating interactions between ice crystals and small hail and calculating the charge transferred between the two particles. South Dakota Tech News Report for May 2005 BOR Meeting 18 of 18 "We also calculate the various electric currents that flow in and around modeled storms and compare these with ground-based observations made in storms at the Kennedy Space Center" Helsdon said. "We hope to advance our understanding of the intricacies of thunderstorms and lightning, which may lead to better prediction in the future. It may result in better forecasting of thunderstorm and lightning threats worldwide." The School of Mines researchers compare the predictions created by the model with real storm data collected by the other universities involved in the study. The findings allow the School of Mines to fine tune its model. The School of Mines lightning model is one of two in the world that is used to study thunderstorm electrification and lightning in three dimensions. "We are on the cutting edge of research into the processes that lead to the electrification of thunderstorms and the production of lightning" Helsdon said. "Using this model, with its detail and sophistication, we can carry out the most comprehensive modeling studies of thunderstorm electrification and lightning development in the world." #30# Governor Announces Agreement With Nanotech Company An agreement between the world's leading supplier of molecular nanotechnology tools, products and services and South Dakota School of Mines and Technology will help bring new high-tech research, development and commercialization opportunities to the state. South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds announced today a cooperative agreement involving Zyvex Corp. of Richardson, Texas, the state of South Dakota and Rapid City economic development efforts to designate the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology as the exclusive provider of integrated circuit (IC) failure analysis services to the semi-conductor industry. "I am very proud that Zyvex, and more specifically Mr. Jim Von Ehr, has put his confidence in the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology for this cutting-edge technological service" Governor Rounds said. "Zyvex could have chosen any site in the world, but they chose South Dakota because of our people and our ability to work as a team." Under the agreement, Zyvex will outsource all of its testing services to the Center for Accelerated Applications at the Nanoscale (CAAN), located on the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology campus in Rapid City. The Center is one of four research centers created last year by Gov. Rounds' 2010 Initiative. One of the goals of the initiative is to strengthen university research and its commercial applications in South Dakota. "We are extremely excited to partner with the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology" said James Von Ehr, founder and chairman of Zyvex Corp. "Nanotechnology has been called 'the next industrial revolution' because of its potential to transform South Dakota Tech News Report for May 2005 BOR Meeting 19 of 18 manufacturing into a high-margin, environmentally clean industry with the economics and versatility of software. "South Dakota has made a rare commitment to foster not just academic research, but real commercialization of this field" Von Ehr added. "Investing in research is valuable to society at large, but investing in commercialization, with the jobs that will be created, will have a greater economic payback for the region that hosts those new companies." The agreement between the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and Zyvex requires the purchase of highly specialized equipment from Zyvex. The equipment measures structures smaller than 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. As a comparison, a human hair's diameter measures about 200,000 nanometers. The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology will be the first university to have this type of fully integrated system installed and operational. The probing system will allow the university to utilize the most advanced integrated system developed for IC probing and nanomanipulation. Electrical characterization of integrated circuits is an integral component of the fabrication and design loop. As high magnification scanning particle beam microscopes are needed to keep up with the decreasing size scale of IC technology, electrical characterization using probing systems that are specifically designed and optimized for operation in these microscopes is needed. The need to probe sub-100 nanometer features is relatively new to the semiconductor industry. The Zyvex system, part of their NanoWorks® product line, is capable of easily landing four NanoEffector™ probes within a 125 x 125 nanometer area with better than 5 nanometer resolution. "The semiconductor industry just keeps making things smaller and smaller" said CAAN Director Dr. Shawn Decker. "Until Zyvex developed the equipment, the ability to test integrated circuits at this level did not exist." Decker added, "Along with providing the highest level of IC probing service to current Zyvex customers, my job will be to actively provide IC Probing services for customers in the semi-conductor industry from all over the world. We will soon be open for business here in South Dakota to provide integrated circuit failure analysis at the nanoscale that is not commercially available anywhere else. We are honored and excited to be working with Zyvex on this and other nano level initiatives!" With data collected from individual on-chip transistors using the Zyvex Nanomanipulator/prober, IC design engineers can feed actual device data into design models to improve modeling accuracy. Zyvex NanoWorks Products comprise flexible, cost-effective, modular tools that promote interchangeability of sample/structural carriers. Combining these with interchangeable South Dakota Tech News Report for May 2005 BOR Meeting 20 of 18 NanoEffector tools provides a wide array of experimental options-whether the aim is to study meso, micro, nano or molecular based structures. "Acquiring this equipment and providing product testing services to the private sector will help create a national reputation for this new research and development center at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology" said Harvey Jewett, President of the SD Board of Regents. "It will also provide a useful research environment for the university's newly approved Ph.D. program in nanoscience and nanoengineering." Rapid City Mayor Jim Shaw agreed. "We have always believed that the university is a cornerstone to developing a technology-based economic development future for our community, region and state" Mayor Shaw said. "Our economic development community has been preparing programs and resources for many years now, like the new business incubator at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology campus. We are prepared and poised to participate in this bright future." Rounds announced that the state has provided a $250,000 grant to help the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and CAAN acquire the equipment. "Additional funds were provided through a loan from the Rapid Fund, a local economic development revolving loan fund" said Rapid City Area Economic Development President Bob DeMersseman. "This opportunity between Zyvex and the university will help all of us leverage the leadership Gov. Rounds has provided through the 2010 Initiative." About the company: Zyvex Corporation, based in Richardson, Texas, is the first molecular nanotechnology company. Zyvex's vision is to be the leading worldwide supplier of tools, products and services that enable adaptable, affordable and molecularly precise manufacturing. Zyvex commercializes nanotechnology to address real-world applications with high growth potential. Zyvex carries its scientific breakthroughs into key commercial applications in the area of materials, tools and structures.
