Outside the Classroom
Main Content
Southern Illinois University Carbondale is committed to a robust, campus-wide recycling program to reduce our environmental impact. By creating a culture of sustainability, SIU hopes to foster in our students life-long habits of recycling and sustainability-minded action. Plastics 1-6 are now accepted in our mixed recycling bins (no Styrofoam) and empty pizza boxes can be placed with the corrugated cardboard recycling! Each spring, SIU also participates in a friendly competition between universities called RecycleMania.
SIU Sustainability and fellow Salukis have continued to celebrate recycling at home football games!
Here's a little of what's been happening:
Recycling bags have been passed out by student volunteers to parking lot tailgaters to increase recycling at game day events!
Patrons in Saluki Row received reminders of what can and cannot be recycled via our "Salukis Recycle" signage.
Brown Dawg and Grey Dawg reminded patrons to recycle through our new yard signs.
We continued to partner with the Grounds and Building Services crews to ensure processes are in place to recycle appropriately.
Patrons in the stadium were encouraged to recycle over the loudspeaker.
As a result, we have been consistently increasing our diversion rates at our ballgames. Congratulations, Salukis!AIGA Collaboration
A student design team from American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) registered student organization has been working diligently with us to create a new informative and beautiful signage and labeling system for waste and recycling! The photos below show team members hanging the new signs in Schneider Hall, for testing before being rolled out more widely. Look out for their designs as they are rolled out more widely across campus!
Dawgs Night Out
During the Student Center's January 22 Swinter Dawgs Nite Out, the Sustainability Office once again shared "Zero Waste Choices!"
6 student volunteers supported zero waste stations, educating participants about recycling and composting options! In addition, we offered some sustainability-themed games and completed a waste audit.
Why a waste audit? A waste audit can be performed to learn what kinds of waste SIU campus community members are creating, as well as how much waste we can divert from the landfill via recycling and composting. During a waste audit, we separate waste into recyclable, compostable, or landfill piles. These get weighed and recorded. This data is used to inform decision making and to encourage more responsible behavior! In addition to performing waste audits, we also have a new Zero Waste Program. For details, click HERE.America Recycles Day
Farm to Fork is an annual dinner where participants enjoy locally grown food prepared by chefs at the University Housing Culinary and Nutrition Services. The event is held in partnership with with the SIU Sustainability Office, SIU Fermentation Science Institute on this event, and SIU Department of Animal Science, Food & Nutrition.
SIU participates in America Recycles Day which falls on November 15th every year. This is a day to educate the students and community about what can and cannot be recycled in our community and realize the impact of recycling. This includes how and why we should include this habit in our daily routine! This year, (2016), the sustainability office tabled outside of the Student Center, giving out stickers and opening up a discussion about sustainability on our campus!

For Immediate Release
October 18, 2011
Kana Pipeline Awarded Lambert Ranch Contract
Upscale Residential Construction on Fast Track Schedule in OC
Kana Pipeline was awarded a $2.2M contract to build the underground wet utility pipeline infrastructure for a newly developed, 50 acre land called Lambert Ranch in Irvine, CA. This new residential project is located on the north east corner of the intersection of Portola Parkway and Ridge Valley Road, south of the 241 Foothill Transportation Corridor, near the decommissioned El Toro Marine Corps Air Station.
Kana was contracted by owner and developer, The New Home Company, which was founded by four very respected leaders in residential development; Larry Webb, Joseph Davis, Wayne Stelmar and Tom Redwitz. Kana's estimator, Don Cooper, recalls working hard to provide a complete scope of work. After several plan revisions, Cooper was happy to provide a more detailed and accurate pipeline bid, saying, "I really put my heart and soul into this bid." The Kana Pipeline team was elated to hear the news of the award earlier last week, especially after knowing the hard work that Cooper put into his estimate.
"This is a new key client for us," indicated Daniel Locke, President of Kana Pipeline, "and we are pleased to be working in familiar territory, Irvine, which is right in our back yard, especially with a highly regarded firm."
Kana Pipeline will be installing nearly 40,000 linear feet of pipeline infrastructure. Pipeline installation work will be consisting of new domestic and recycled water pipeline, fireline, sewer and storm drainage systems. Kana's pipeline construction work is split into two phases, with the first offsite phase estimated to start by end of this month, pending permit approvals. This new development will be spinning on a fast track schedule to get the new home models up and ready as soon as possible.
Eugene Figueros, one of Kana's project managers whose managed several pipeline projects for Kana recounts that this is not the first time Kana has worked on fast track projects, adding "Kana is especially not new to fast track residential work and installs quality products."
Kenneth Cornell, the project manager overseeing this project agreed, adding "we have field teams that are extremely competent in the area of residential pipeline construction and I am confident that we'll complete this pipeline work safely and on schedule."
The Lambert Ranch project will consist of 169 high-end, single family homes, featuring three different residential communities: The Hill, The Grove and The Field. This new gated community will also feature a private recreational facility for residents. The models are expected to be complete by the Spring of 2012.
For additional information on the news that is the subject of this release and to learn more on water, sewer pipeline and storm drainage systems, visit our website or contact Eleni Christianson.

Eating out and more friends
Posted in Uncategorized on January 17, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Not so cold this morning. Several times lately I've walked to work when the wind chill was 16 below zero. Yep! 16 Below. Of course, it was much colder in South Dakota and other states north, but 16 below will do it for me. Several other days it was below zero, but the number -16 was the coldest, and those two days my forehead began to hurt long before I made it to the library! I haven't figured out the best way to wrap up the forehead. I'm covered up to my eyes already, and I really must see to walk. Hmmmm…..dilemma.
I'm in my usual favorite spot, sitting under comfy covers with my computer, drinking my warm creamy coffee. I woke up hungry (again!), so I ate one-half (really, only one half!) of a cookie. My kitty is sitting next to me in the bed doing her grooming thing. Susie and I have lived together just a little over two years; she was 12 years old when her owner died unexpectedly. I wasn't sure how we would work out together, because all was so new for her. But I believe if I could understand her language, I would understand her to say she is fine.
It has been another exciting week for me as far as food goes. And yes, I really get excited with food, sometimes doing that little "happy dance" in my chair, humming a little tune. Last weekend I made a really good tuna casserole. I know that doesn't sound exciting, but to me it has been wonderful! The recipe was a "quick fix", so I used a can of cream of mushroom soup. There was also a can of tuna (duh), frozen green peas, cheddar cheese, and whole-wheat pasta involved. I used my favorite penne pasta, and there are two servings still in the freezer. Hmmm……I think I could eat some right now.
Earlier this week I decided to try Larry's ideas for the best guacamole, and I did well! The little chunks of avocado make it extra special and gourmey-i looking . I took it for lunch one day, along with a serving of that diet soup that was so popular in the 1980s, made with lots cabbage, other non-starchy veges, chicken broth, and tomato juice. I made a batch of that soup several months ago and I still have several servings left in the freezer. I find that even though I try live within a diet including very little meat, I eat cheese, whole-wheat pasta, avocados, crackers, fruit, olives, etc., and sometimes really go for a few days without many vegetables. One serving of this soup is at least two good servings of healthy veges. For me it is a good staple, because there is only a very little chicken broth in each serving.
I drove to Lawrence one day to meet with the University of Kansas Maps Librarian, to learn a little bit more about how they arrange their map collection. After a few hours there I met with the Government Documents Librarian and we ate lunch at a nice little restaurant in their Union. I had the cobb salad without the chicken but with lots of blue cheese dressing. Now, you know this is one of my favorite meals when I go to a restaurant! This meal was special not only because of the company and stimulating conversation, but also because we both had dessert. She had a chocolate cake of some kind, and I had vanilla bean flan. My oh my it was all I could do not to lick the plate!
Later in the week Donna and Tara C. and I went to the Bluemont Room on our own campus for lunch. The food there is OK, pretty mediocre. Just so many carbohydrates! They offer a small buffet with lots of starchy vegetables. This day they served ham, creamed potatoes, rice, chicken a la king (with noodles), starchy vegetable mix, and cooked broccoli. There were two pasta salads in the very small salad bar, and then the soup was chicken and noodle. I guess all the carbs are cheaper, and I don't have to go there if I don't want. What I enjoy is taking time in the middle of my day, going to a restaurant with table cloths (which does a lot to help keep down the "clanking" noises that we often have in restaurants), and being able to finish the meal with a little dessert and someone pouring my coffee. It is just very relaxing to share a meal with friends in this room during the middle of a busy day.
Then last night I went out to dinner with Tara C., Sara, and Jennifer. What a hoot! I laughed so much and we talked and talked. And no, I had no alcohol. None. Yet I must say I still did my share of talking. I had the tossed salad topped with Atlantic salmon – topped with crunchy tortilla chip slivers and finely grated jicama (at least I think it was jicama). Atlantic salmon is an over-fished fish, so I usually avoid it. But as I've said before, here in my Kansas town there is very little choice when it comes to seafood, which is one reason I eat less of it than I would like. Sure, the grocery store has wild caught from the Pacific, but it is processed in China. I worry about fish processed in the polluted areas of China, but I sometimes buy it anyway because it seems many days there is no way to act socially conscious when purchasing seafood here. I know I know, I should give up meat of all kinds! But you know I still fail in that effort for right now, so eating less, much less, is my start for this year. Again. So, I ate the salmon and salad, and shared my time with friends and good conversation. And yes, some silly conversation. A great evening!
My mentor and I had coffee together yesterday afternoon, and that was very nice. I had prepared a container of dried figs and fried peanuts for our snack, and we both enjoyed those. I bought the raw peanuts in Lawrence (though I buy them often here at People's Grocery, too), fried them in canola oil, topped them with sea salt, and mmmmmm………!! We both really enjoyed them. Since I tend to over eat these peanuts, the few I brought back to the library I gave to a student I know who also loves to eat really good food. Temptation gone!
And Tuesday night? After retuning from Lawrence? I prepared one large scallop I purchased at The Community Mercantile. That one scallop cost $2.35, which is why I only purchased one. But believe me, it was a big 'un! I called my brother to find out exactly the best way to cook it so that I did not overcook it. So I seared it in butter, turned the heat down low for a couple of minutes, removed the scallop from the pan, added a little more butter to the pan, along with a little lemon juice, salt, and garlic. Poured it over the scallop and served that along with a sweet potato and cabbage. Oh my I wish I had another scallop to cook for supper tonight!! The plate looked like it came right from the cover of a true foodie magazine. Really, it was delicious. Perfect. Thanks Johnny!
I'm not sure I'll do much cooking this weekend because my freezer is pretty full with lots of good things already. I've got more pasta with organic tomato sauce and lots of cheese. Black beans and pinto beans. Homemade mac and cheese. Cabbage soup. Homemade stew with a just a little bit of chicken in it. I have one bagel in the cabinet that would taste good with that soup. And I also have one large fresh beet and a new package of fresh goat cheese should I want to make that been salad I like so much. Anyway, after working at the library for several hours today, then getting my hair cut, I believe I can skip another trip to the grocery store today!
Food again? Oh my yes!

Really cold again this morning. But then, I live in Kansas! I have a nice heavy coat that will keep me warm later today as I walk to People's Grocery(my own co-op!) and then to the library to work a few hours at my desk. So, it's all good.
Speaking of "good", so is this second cup of coffee I'm drinking this morning. Oh my goodness! As you know, I really love a cup of coffee, especially on a cool morning. And if it was cool outside and not so freezing cold, I'd go out and sit on the front stoop. Nope! This cozy warm apartment suits me better right now!
I've had some good times with meals this week. My neighbor had another wonderful party this week and invited me for a bit and encouraged me to drink the wassail. I have not had wassail in several years, and on that cool night it was absolutely delicious! He had a little more alcohol in his (my recipe is mostly fruit juice with a little alcohol, and I believe his recipe is more traditional), so I didn't have too much. But it was so fantastic! Not too sweet with slices of apples floating around.
There was his famous guacamole and chips, and one of the guests brought a loaf of homemade bread, which I smeared with goat cheese. Oh my oh my! I'm not the biggest fan of bread, but this combination was amazing! I ate two pieces like that and wanted a third, but there was only one loaf, only so much goat cheese, and other guests. I guess I was suppose to share, huh. My friend did his usually "grilling of the meats" ceremony on his mighty Weber, and everyone crowded around for that. I have decided to eat less meat (more on that later), so I made sure I only had two ounces, and I chose the bratwurst. Now, out of the chicken, beef burgers, and brats, surely the brats were the least healthy. However, I had never tasted one and several people I know really like them, so I gave it a try. Only one-half of a 4 oz. bratwurst link. Honestly! And it was tasty, but too greasy for me, like hot dogs often seem to be. Of course it wasn't the cook's fault, they just are loaded with fat. After all, he grilled them, and you can't cook less greasy than that!
And as usual, he had fascinating guests. I always learn so much from his guests, what they do for fun, where they have traveled, what they teach at the university, and etc. Often I spend time talking with the students, because they really enjoy talking about what they study as well. But this time……sigh……I just sat near the guacamole and bread and goat cheese! Almost the whole time I was there.
OK, confession time again. If you have followed this blog at all, you know several months back I set out to become a true pescetarian again. And I didn't do well. But I really want to eat healthier, and I believe less meat, for right now, could be a good compromise. So this week I started with the goal of no more than 4 oz. of meat in a day. So if I plan to have a little at lunch, I can only have a little at supper. Two ounces each time at the most. And this week I did just that!
Remember the roast I prepared for New Years Eve? After it sat in the pot all night long, it was very tender. I have a scale for weighing food, and after cutting up what looked like 2 oz. or smaller size chunks of the roast, weighing each piece to confirm that it was less than 2 oz. (and there was great success with that effort), I cut up each chunk into bite-size pieces and placed them into a baggie. Then I spooned in the carrots, onions, parsnips (lots of those. yum!) into each bag with the meat and ended up with 5 servings in the freezer. I had that meal twice at lunch, served with another vege on the side and a piece of fruit. What a special treat in the middle of the day!
I've also eaten black beans (I really like the way I flavor my beans with a little onion, chili powder, garlic, cumin, and a little molasses that makes them just a tad sticky), and once this week I added only 1 oz. of ground beef. Why bother, you ask? I'm not sure. I'm hoping that continuing with just a little of the meat now and then will halt those cravings I use to get when I would eat way too much. It's not just the environment that concerns me, it is also my weight. And as I get older, um, cholesterol can be more of an issue. Want to watch out for that as well!
Oh yes, and I've also eaten my own homemade guacamole. I love my guacamole, but I think I like Larry's better. Maybe he'll share the recipe?
Today I am already soaking pintos, and yesterday I made cornbread for a sick friend of mine, and while pouring the batter into the pan to cook, I poured a little into two custard dishes to bake myself two corn muffins. Oh my! I cannot wait for supper tonight to eat those beans with a little raw onion, accompanied by my homemade cornbread. And maybe the last of my leftover cabbage? Wow! It's not even 7:30am and I'm drooling over supper already! That's sad. Oh maybe not. I'm over…..hmmmm…..over…….oh my……..well, I'm over 40. OK, way over, but that's beside the point! And I guess if I enjoy my meals so much that I dream about them, that is really a good thing. Because I have to eat. And if I can find that much pleasure in the basics, maybe that means it is easy for me to find pleasure in this life. Yes. That's it. Now my thinking of food so much sounds like a positive characteristic. Right?
I mentioned using plastic baggies for freezing my meals. I try hard not to purchase plastic, but I have not figured out a good alternative for freezing my food. I have a few plastic containers that I get at the grocery if I purchase a pre-made salad of some kind, but there would be a pocket of air frozen with the food if I used those. Not good. Last night I bought mayonnaise, and the only glass jar I can find is Kraft in a smaller jar. I'd like to buy the larger amount (costs less per ounce that way), but all the larger containers are plastic. So I always purchase the smaller Kraft.
Question: Any ideas on freezing individual meals in a non-plastic container with no air pockets?
That's it for me today. Actually, there is a lot more food to discuss, but I know I can go on and on and on and…….well, you know!
Welcome to our new year!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged friends, new year on January 2, 2009| 1 Comment »
Happy New Year everyone! It's been a wonderful day for me. I've played on the computer, watched a good movie (Office Space) some of the students at work recommended to me, visited with my neighbor for a bit, shared some of my beet/apple/goat cheese salad with him, and watched junk TV I recorded earlier in the week. I cannot remember the day I did so little of nothing. It was absolutely fantastic! Plus, the cold I brought back with me from Virginia has proven to be very mild. Thank goodness!
Last night was fun, too. Tara C. came to eat supper with me and there I sat, for over two hours, good conversation and good food. Even if I prepared it, and even if the meat was a little tough (should have slow cooked it for about another 45 minutes I think), it was a wonderful evening. First we ate Greek salads with lots of feta. Then I served the roast cooked with onions, carrots and parsnips. I had never cooked parsnips with my roast, but that's a keeper of an idea! Scrumptious! I fixed green beans with a little thyme and red wine, all thrown in with onions and mushrooms previously sautéed with lots of butter. I boiled potatoes and served with garlic butter and parsley flakes. A little red wine, of course. And for dessert I made those simple lemon tarts I've mentioned before. I just hope she enjoyed the evening as much as I did.
She left before 9:00pm to meet more friends, I cleaned the kitchen, and fell into bed pooped out and was asleep by 10:00pm. Yep. Slept right through to the new year. I enjoyed it, too. The library has been opened this week and we have been a little busier than I expected. I'm glad we were there for the faculty and researchers who try to come when parking is a little easier. Even though there were people there needing our services, it was still rather quiet and a good time to get tasks completed and my desk cleaned. Well, maybe not cleaned, but it looks better than it did before I left for my Christmas vacation!
As I look at this past year and forward to 2009, I think about my blessings. A job I really like. The ability to help people find the information they need. A small apartment that is dry and cozy and safe and easier to keep at a comfortable temperature because it is not very big. A family that I love and to whom I feel very close, even though we are many miles apart. Friends in many places: Virginia, North Carolina, Kansas, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and elsewhere. The ability to read a good book. And on and on.
This coming year I want to do good things, not just for my career, but for those around me. I believe I'm in a position to do just that if I stay focused. But even while I'm trying to stay focused and keep up with the world around me, I sure look forward to more moments of goofing off and watching junk TV!

If I close my eyes, I am taken away into a chapter of my life, I keep in a quiet place of my heart, because in due season that chapter's page turned. The one and only man I have ever loved, has become a source of inspiration. Moments spent by his side and some left to reminisce in, I hold as a keepsake of a lesson learned and a love story untold and unforgotten.
One of the loveliest days of my life was when I carried his name and although this time was short lived, I was able to enjoy every instant beside him even though I am sure I never told him. To love someone is to freely give up all of you, without fear of risking it all, yet trusting you are gaining much more, regardless if you are losing a piece of your heart or creating memories to last a lifetime. I believe God created this love between us for this reason and many more, I believe this feeling was allowed to linger in my heart way past its time for a purpose, I couldn't understand at the time; yet today I understand so well.
This love I enjoyed for a few years left a lifetime of joy. The proof of our love was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, holding in my arms a part of my beloved, our first birth, the greatest gift God had given us. I believe with all my heart that marriage is one of God's simplest ways of giving us a peek of love with no measure, nor boundaries; yet never comparing to the unconditional love that comes from Him alone.
In time I learned, that no love can compare to God's and this I realized when I was pregnant from our second daughter. I remember feeling sadness during my second pregnancy, not because I didn't love my unborn child, how couldn't I, it was another part of this man I so much loved. But because, I wanted to pursue a career yet this was to be placed on hold for a while longer. But two days after our daughter's birth, I was swept into a reality I dreaded. My husband, who loved me as much as I loved him, walked out of our lives with no explanation whatsoever. All I was left with, was a farewell kiss on the forehead as I pretended to be asleep. The last image was of him looking up for the last time before he got in what was our red Ford Escape. He would never know I hid behind the curtain and watched him until I couldn't see the car anymore.
But how great is God that as I cried one night and turned over to my little girls I realized that God's timing was perfect and his planning was immaculate. My daughter had come into my life in the nick of time, she came to take the place of what I was about to lose, and as time passed, I saw in her the revelation of God's mercy over my broken heart.
Today, I thank him for walking out of our lives, not because the love was were gone, for he will forever hold my heart, but because had he remain in our lives, I wouldn't had known the brokenness which lead me to where I am today. Because of God's delicacy over my wounded heart, I hold no resentment towards him, he is loved in silence. He's released from fault for he's forgiven and truly blessed through our daughters, perhaps hasn't yet realized it. But this is just the beginning of a wonderful journey of a broken woman, who put her love and trust in the hands of a man who then breaking it into millions of pieces unknowingly placed it in the hands of who would put it back together, God.

Sunday, June 26, 2011
I'm glad last week is behind me.
I went to look at a piece of property with Sherry. As we were just back in Tulsa I came over the hill and surrounded by traffic and unable to go anywhere I had to run over two piles of debris in the road. Before running it over I knew it didn't look good but I couldn't go around it and I couldn't slam on my brakes to avoid it. Almost immediately my tire pressure gauge came on and let me know my back right tire was going flat. Ugh. I'm usually calm in situations but for some reason whenever something goes wrong with my car I start to panic. I think it's because my poor mom always drove the *worst* cars and we were always either breaking down somewhere or we were stuck at home and I associate car trouble with doom.
Anyway, I get my car to a service station to see if they can put on the spare. It's 4:50, Friday afternoon and these two doofuses are looking at me and looking at each other and scratching their heads like I've just asked them to change the transmission or something. It becomes painfully obvious to me that they just want to get out of there at 5:00 and I'm not going to get my tire changed out. One offers to over-inflate my tire so that I might make it to Sears which is two miles down the road - but remember it is Friday, it is rush hour, and there are about 15 lights between where I am and where I need to go.
The tire is hissing and the tire gauge lets me know I'm losing air fast. One of the men suggest I buy fix-a-flat and I really don't think that is going to matter but I buy it and ask him if he will put it in the tire for me. Because I'm convinced the tire is going to blow at any minute, I stand back about 15 feet with my sunglasses over my eyes while he not only puts in the fix-a-flat but also over-inflates my tire. Off I go to Sears, praying the whole way, watching the air quickly leak out of my tire. The fix-a-flat did nothing, but at least I make it and limp into the parking lot at Sears.
The sweet young man at Sears puts the spare on my car, charges me *nothing* for the service despite the fact that it is 107 degrees with the heat index and the garage is facing the sun. After I tip him and set off on my way, I'm a mile down the road when the tire sensor comes back on and now, another tire is going flat. Not good!
Long story but yesterday, I got four brand new tires on my car.
Last week was a long stressful week not only for me but for quite a few of my friends too. I'm sure we are all happy to leave that one behind and I'm really looking forward to a much sunnier, happier week. :)

Tour Overview
The mountainous land wedged between the Caspian and the Black Seas is home to the countries of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. Lying in the shadow of the Caucasus Mountains, this region has formed a crossroad between East and West. Invaders and merchants from past great empires including Greek, Persian, Roman, Venetian, Ottoman and Russian have conquered and interacted to create a wonderful mix of cultures. Each shares a border with the other two, yet each could hardly be more different. Three unrelated languages are spoken here, and two different religions hold sway. All have robust pagan roots, a love of life and a strong culture of hospitality, family and home.
We begin in Baku on the shore of the Caspian Sea. The old town centre is now a World Heritage site dating back to the 12th century, while the modern city boats some of the world's most cutting-edge architecture. We also learn about the bold and bright designs of Azerbaijan's carpets. In Georgia, we savour red wines, enjoy its unique cuisine and experience the country's diverse landscape, from the lush shores of the Black Sea to some of Europe's most dramatic peaks. In Armenia, the world's first Christian state, we admire the sculpted stone khachkar crosses which dot the green hillsides and, in both Georgia and Armenia, we visit stunning mountain monasteries.

A day after Andrew Cuomo won the Democratic primary for attorney general, he and top Democratic officials took aim at his "Pataki-backed, Bush-funded" Republican rival, former Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
"Part of the campaign that I'm going to be running is talking about the Albany dysfunction and George Pataki," Cuomo said after picking up the endorsement of current Democratic Attorney General and gubernatorial front-runner Eliot Spitzer.
State Democratic Chairman Herman "Denny" Farrell focused on Pirro's long-standing connections to Gov. Pataki and money her campaign has received from backers of President Bush.
He said Pirro "would continue the Pataki and Bush policies that have failed New York."
The double-barreled blast came shortly after Pirro urged Cuomo "not to go negative with personal attacks after what was a contentious primary battle."
Pirro shot back:
"It's very unfortunate that I issue a challenge for Andrew Cuomo to run a positive campaign based upon the issues and the records of the individuals . . . and really, within minutes, he issued an attack," she said told The Post. "It's already starting."
With Democratic landslides predicted in the state Senate and governor's race, Republicans see the attorney general's campaign as perhaps the only winnable contest in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 5 to 3.
Meanwhile, a day after winning his own primary against Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi, Spitzer traded angry barbs with Republican opponent John Faso over the attorney general's lawsuits against alleged Wall Street abuses, claims that he would raise taxes and Faso's work as "a big-time lobbyist."
Spitzer bristled at Faso's charge that his high-profile legal cases against former New York Stock Exchange Chairman Richard Grasso and former AIG executive Maurice "Hank" Greenberg were "phony" actions that should not have been brought.
"I think people will realize Spitzer is not all he's cracked up to be and that his cases were phony," said Faso, a former Assembly minority leader.
Spitzer responded that Faso "lines up with defendants who have essentially taken improperly some of this money from a not-for-profit [the NYSE] . . . He's a big-time lobbyist and a lawyer and he can do it. But these cases are highly important."
Newly minted GOP Senate candidate John Spencer challenged Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who he says is really running for president, to debate, insisting she has never had to clarify her positions in her first term.
Clinton aides said she would debate Spencer, with details still to be worked out.
Maggie Haberman contributed to this report.

Success stories from partnerships with world class organizations from a range of industries around the globe.
Challenge: common skill set and mindset for global matrix
With 10,200 employees operating in 40 countries, the VELUX Group decided that to serve their customers effectively they needed to move from a hierarchical, siloed organization to a global matrix. This required a shift of culture and behaviours (e.g. attitude to risk, control and cooperation), and developing a common skill set, mindset and language throughout the organization for working in a matrix. For many, this meant a loss of control, but with higher levels of accountability, and a corresponding need for more innovative ways of working. Global Integration has supported the VELUX Group on this mission since 2014, and they have embraced the changes required.
Solution: practical tools for top leaders & matrixed middle
Multiple programmes have run since 2014 including: 'Light Up Leadership' for the Top 100 leaders, 'Making the Matrix Work' for the Top 100 Supply Chain and 'Passion for business' for over 400 managers across the globe (and counting), focusing on areas such as how to:
- Understand the VELUX Matrix organisation and the reasons behind it
- Embrace different perspectives, apply a constructive approach to reach common goals and solve challenges and dilemmas
- Influence through knowledge and insight rather than formal reporting lines
- Network – getting (only) the right people "around the table" to ensure accountability and effective decision making
- Lead in a business environment with increasing ambiguity and pace of change
Delivered through a mix of keynotes and 2-day workshops with context setting from senior leaders, online learning and virtual follow-ups, plus cohort communities created on Yammer.
Impact: inspired managers armed with practical tools
98% agreed or strongly agreed that they will have the opportunity to apply the training in practice. 100% felt motivated to continue working with the subjects covered in the training. "Very useful toolbox to deal with matrix management. Some tools that I will start using immediately"; "This is perhaps the best training I ever had in VELUX."

"With all the crazy stuff that you do, how do you find your focus?" A dear friend ask me this questions recently and I never really thought about it because I just always had too many irons in the fire and learned to juggle.
Over the past 20 years or so the buzz word in employment has been 'multi tasking'. If you look at job postings, you will invariably notice that each includes a phrase similar to 'must be able to effectively handle multiple projects and objectives'. The problem is that science has proven we are not effective at multi-tasking and it actually reduces productivity.
While we are always going to be inundated with tasks at work or home, we can learn to become more productive by learning to FOCUS.
FOCUS: Follow One Course Until Success
FOCUS is the new trend towards single-tasking and it is showing good results. It…

We recently welcomed Dr Lyn Sharratt to the College,
Educational Consultant, Lyn has been working with schools across the world,
assisting them to provide innovative and effective strategies to increase
teachers' understanding of student capabilities and to design learning
experiences to increase student achievement.
Lyn has been working with our Brisbane Catholic Education
Pedagogy team and visited San Sisto to share an afternoon talking about
learning and teaching in secondary schools.
Our teachers and students were eager to showcase their
classroom experience and share explanations and stories of what learning looked
like in our classrooms. Lyn was excited that learning was visible and students
could explain, in detail, the purpose of their learning and the steps they were
taking to achieve improvement.
The team was particularly interested in our work designing 'Bump It Up' Models. These text models allow students to view examples of At
Standard and Above Standard responses with specific and detailed instructions
for improving the quality of written work. Lyn commented that our use of 'Bump
It Up' models made the steps to writing improvement clear and provided detailed
guidance for students to improve their writing across our subject areas. Our
teachers designed these writing models to help explain the steps needed to
successfully improve the detail in student writing. The models show,
specifically how to 'Bump Up' their written responses. They are displayed in
classrooms and are being used as part of our planning and drafting processes.
Lyn shared her insight and experience about best practice.
Teachers and students gained from her knowledge and enjoyed the passion she
showed for quality teaching and learning. Further reading about Dr Lyn Sharratt
and her work in education can be found on her website: lynsharratt.com. We
continued to work with Lyn for the afternoon where she provided detailed
feedback for us about the types of learning experiences she could observe
students engaging with throughout their day. This discussion affirmed the work
we are doing in our classrooms each day and provided further direction for
building assessment-capable and confident learners.

Best Chinese Food Las Vegas Yelp
Authentic Chinese Food - Mandarin Cuisine
If you find attractive authentic Chinese food as opposed to the monosodium glutomate filled junk that some western restaurants contain the nerve to try to pass off, then have you thought to give Mandarin cuisine an attempt?
Mandarin cuisine is wonderful to consider and also like a delight for the taste buds because in Mandarin cooking, presentation is really as essential as flavor. This is a stylish cuisine as witness the standard dishes of Peking Duck and Mu Shu Pork.
Mandarin cuisine came from the Chinese royal courts way back in the Qing Dynasty, that may be any time from 1644 to 1912. Delighting the Emperor and also the other royals took significant amounts of effort, leading for the best chefs creating one of the most elegant and tasty dishes. Failure for this could cause a fate far worse than mere unemployment! The legacy of the chefs is reflected in modern Mandarin cookery.
Being the cultural center of China, Mandarin cookery combines influences all one other Chinese provinces in the own individual style. Colorful vegetables are married with mild spices and contrasting flavors and textures like sweet and sour or crisp and smooth are combined to produce a marvelous mixture of colors and scents.
Even snack food is presented in the fancy way. For example spring onions (salad onions) could be coated with dark soy paste and arranged on the platter with sliced boiled egg yoke to look like a flower or elaborately carved carrots and beet-root might be employed for color and texture.
The appearance of breakfast too must delight every one of the senses this also might be a healthy stir fried tomato dish served with scrambled eggs.
The staple of Mandarin cuisine is what as opposed to rice so pancakes or wraps often feature, containing spiced beef or pork. The pancakes, although simply a mixture of water and flour will probably be flavored, maybe with chili or sesame oil.
One of the top known and simplest to generate Mandarin dishes is hot and sour soup. That staple in the Chinese takeaway combines bamboo shoots plus a number of mushrooms for texture with chiles for heat and vinegar for sourness. Another favorite may be the Mandarin equal of a fondue, which is a pan of simmering beef or chicken stock which you can use to cook shredded chicken or beef, prawns, leafy green vegetables, mushrooms and egg noodles, as you spend time at the table.
So, for the truly royal and authentic Chinese food experience, purchase with a Mandarin feast, whether home-made or at the restaurant.

Website Feature | CardSwap.ca
Did you know that 10-19% of gift cards are never redeemed and probably forgotten or lost? Have you ever received a gift card that you weren't sure how you would use? Maybe it was a gift from someone or a card you won in a contest. I know that I have gotten gift cards in the past from out of town family members who gave me gift cards for stores that were not in my local area. The thought was there, but I wasn't sure how I would be able to use it without driving for hours to get to that store. For a $20 gift card, you can see how it would not be worth it. Most times the cards went to waste and either expired or I ended up losing track of them.
CardSwap.ca is the solution for people in the very same situation I was in. With this site, you can sell your unwanted gift cards and make some money! I recall having some Cineplex Gift Cards a few years back, but there was no theatre in my area. This would have been the perfect spot for me to do a gift exchange!
Selling your gift card is super easy. Just list it on CardSwap.ca. You will be sent an email when it sells and then you ship the gift card within 3 days to its buyer. CardSwap.ca will send you a cheque in the mail for the sale price less their fee (6% of the sale price; minimum $4.50). There are no listing fees and you only pay when your item sells. I really like that aspect because I have been burned on ebay with their listing fees and my items never even sold.
Of course, you can also buy discounted gift cards on CardSwap.ca! Search by price, discount, category and location. I had a look around and seen a few Gift Cards that looked interesting. For instance, I found an $100 AMC Gift Card on sale for $72- a savings of $28! There's also a $314.14 Jacob gift card on sale for $265- I love that store! It's free to buy gift cards as well and you only pay for the purchase price of the card.
I like that CardSwap.ca offers a certified guarantee for its users. It includes:
- Validating all gift cards before putting them on the site through the retailers website, 1-800 number, or direct store location number. You will never buy a gift card that does not work, or has inaccurate amount on CardSwap.ca.
- INTERAC Only: CardSwap.ca uses a no credit policy to ensure that we and are users cannot become thevictims of credit card fraud.
- Full refunds to unsatisfied buyers.
This is a fantastic site for Canadians who either want to buy gift cards for themselves or as gifts or to sell unwanted gift cards or both! I have bookmarked this site and plan to do some Christmas shopping here!

Immediately after the news of Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber's engagement broke in July, photos of Selena Gomez living her best, carefree life on a boat named Justine were posted on Instagram. The clear message from sources in the following days was that Gomez was absolutely unbothered by the couple's engagement; she wished them the best.
But more privately, the duo's news was a lot for Gomez to take in, considering she had just been dating Bieber five months before in February and had been on-off with him for years. A source now tells Us Weekly that Bieber and Baldwin's announcement was "a tough pill to swallow [but] it wasn't enough to break her."
Gomez is currently not actively dating, the source said, adding that her more "wholesome priorities" and quieter lifestyle ultimately led to her final breakup with the Biebs. (This is consistent with what a source told E! back in March when the outlet broke the news Jelena's break was in fact a breakup: "Selena realized even though he's made some positive improvements, they just aren't a perfect match right now.")
Baldwin is a better fit for Bieber, Us's source said: "Hailey likes to go out, go to clubs, hang in the studio," the source explained. "Selena is not that same person." Jelena ended for good because they understood they were fundamentally different people, the source said, though "they learned a lot from their relationship."

Development Economics and Structuralist Macroeconomics
Essays in Honor of Lance Taylor
Edited by Amitava Krishna Dutt
Chapter 8: Financial fragility in developing economies
Duncan K. Foley
Duncan K. Foley 1 INTRODUCTION The epidemic of financial crises in developing and newly industrializing countries that accompanied the liberalization of domestic and international capital markets in the 1990s has underlined the relevance of Hyman Minsky's (1975, 1982) conception of financial fragility to the contemporary world economy. Minsky's own work focused on financial fragility in fully industrialized capitalist economies with highly developed financial institutions and markets. Minsky saw a tendency for financial positions to become increasingly indebted in periods of prosperity, and hence increasingly vulnerable to debt-deflation crisis, as both borrowers and lenders become tolerant of higher ratios of debt to equity finance. In Minsky's view a financially fragile economy posed a difficult problem for a central bank; in attempting to control financial fragility by tightening monetary policy and raising interest rates, the central bank could trigger the financial crisis it sought to avert. The drama of financial crisis in the international economy in the 1990s played out in a rather different context. Industrializing economies with high structural profit rates and good opportunities for profitable investment but relatively undeveloped financial institutions faced large inflows of short-term debt capital in the context of the 'Washington consensus'inspired liberalization of international capital flows. Positive shocks to investment and profitability in these economies triggered unstable capital inflows which led in turn to external and internal financial crisis as the resulting current account deficits became unmanageable. In this repeated pattern of events, however, we can see...

After assuring countless people I would not be in Amsterdam, here I am. I arrived yesterday, and bought a snappy new outfit with the help of my travelling partners. God, the prices here are low! Stop me before I shop again!
Amsterdam in the rain
|It's raining now, so we are catching up on correspondence. It's nice to have the keyboard layout that I'm used to, even though I'd finally begun to learn the German one. It's also nice to have a decent internet cafe. The one in Frankfurt was cheap, but truly amateur hour. Thanks to my Starbucks experience, I was able to give them technical support on practically every visit (they looked forward to my arrivals, I think). Doing tech support with menus written in German is not much different from doing it over the phone with people who are unable to explain what they see in front of them, actually. I did not help them with their sorry coffee situation. An ex-Starbuckian can only do so much...
Back in Munich, I went dancing with Sigi and Christine's Tuesday Lindy classes. I ended up being a follow in Lindy 1, and back led some beginners to a greater understanding, which felt good. Afterwards at the dance, a partner and I had glasses of wine bought for us, people were so impressed by the Lindy! I can learn to like this...
The Danube in Ulm
|From Munich I headed north to Frankfurt, stopping along the way at Ulm, home of the highest cathedral steeple in the world. It's a fabulous gothic structure, and the top view deck is barely a foot deep, the steeple is so narrow at that point. Even without the wind and rain it would have been dizzying!
|Heildelberg was awesome, complete with a tour of a ruined castle (twice by war, once by lightening). I've definitely found the 'real' Europe, not the Americanized version from Munich. Many folks wrote me about my comments about the culture being startlingly similar to our own, and I now realize I was in one of the more American places. I have now been happily immersed in some cool places that are truly European. Of course, celebrating St. Patrick's Day in an Irish pub in Heidleberg is a twisted way of proving that point, but that is what I did with some friends from my hostel.
The old and the new in Frankfurt
|Frankfurt kept me busy for a few days. What a beautiful, walkable, cosmopolitan city! I could live there, that's for sure. The hostel was very comfortable, which didn't hurt. We were there for the first day of spring, which turned out to be a gloriously warm, sunny day. I spent lunch high above the pedestrian mall basking in the sun while listening to waltzes wafting up from a trio playing on the street.
Waltz, anyone?
So now here I am in Amsterdam, looking more stylish than someone living out of a backpack normally might, but when in Rome... Once the rain clears we're heading to the Anne Frank house and perhaps a harbor tour (weather permitting). I hope to sample the night life (I'm itching to dance!!!!), but only expect to make the requisite touristy pass through the red light district.
We'll be here through the weekend before heading to Poland for Easter and the Czech Republic.

The other day, I got a little coin purse that just so happened to be Lux-De-Ville, and I thought I'd do a little review on it! I know that it may seem a bit soon for a review since I've only had this product for a day or two, but from knowing how long my mother has kept her (Lux-De-Ville) wallet and how great in condition it is, I know how great their stuff is!
Lux-De-Ville's purses, wallets and so on are not only great in beauty, but they are high quality and they last for… Forever! I mean you can get your bag run over by a train and it'd still be in perfect shape! I love how they look like cars… And it almost seems like the purses are made out of the same thing as the seats of a vintage car!
I love their stuff and I hope to someday own something else of theirs someday… They're amazing…

GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation and Your Business
Data collection, processing, and protection are all factors that ensure the livelihood of a business. If a business fails in any of these areas, it could prove detrimental. Protecting your customer's personal data is an extremely important topic that is getting a lot of attention in the media. During the past year, the EU has been working on changes to the GDPR. It was finally announced to the public the list of changes that the European Union has created for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These modifications are scheduled to go into affect on May 25th, 2018. We would like to share some quick information regarding the GDPR and how the changes may impact your business.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was adopted by the European Union in 2016. This regulation introduces new obligations to data processors and data controllers, including businesses in the United States. The main purpose of the GDPR is to bring harmonization in regulations pertaining to data privacy. This regulation affects many industries, particularly financial services or businesses that hold a lot of personal data. Under the new regulation, businesses will need to become fully compliant by collecting explicit consent from customers to collect data for specific purposes, as well as the right for individuals to request details of information held and data deleted. This means that businesses will need to ensure they have effective policies and procedures in place, carry out assessments, and designate a Data Protection Officer to meet these requirements.
The new regulations imparted by the GDPR are very strict, therefore it is requiring a lot of American companies to restructure the way that data is handled if they do business in the EU. The GDPR will also apply to the processing of personal data of data subjects in the EU by a controller or processor not established in the EU, where the activities relate to: offering goods or services to EU citizens (irrespective of whether payment is required) and the monitoring of behavior that takes place within the EU. Non-EU businesses processing the data of EU citizens will also have to appoint a representative in the EU. The first step to complying, a business must analyze whether the GDPR impacts them and if they will need to make any changes to comply. Remember to consider systems that store customer data in marketing, research, customer service, and support. It is extremely important to know where your data is located. To comply with the GDPR, a business will need to develop and establish procedures that manage how data breaches and client information is handled.
Steps to Implement GDPR:
- Receive consent from customer's to use their information (example: 'opt in consent form')
- Keep customer personal data accurate, secure, and up to date
- Establish a plan to delete out of date data
- Educate your staff on the appropriate uses for customer data
- Provide a point of contact (Data Protection Officer) and procedures to follow if data is violated
- Update your business website or email campaign software to include your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service
- Contact a technology consultant to ensure all steps are implemented properly to comply with GDPR
Customer data collection, processing, and protection are all factors that are affected by the GDPR. If you have questions or are looking for assistance understanding the GDPR and how it affects your business, please contact the staff at KerberRose Technology Inc. Our team can help you align your technology solutions with your business objectives and operational requirements. We work to ensure that technology improves the business performance for our clients and streamlines processes. Our services begin with planning and identifying requirements. We then work with system design and implementation.

A revelation has occurred in me. I am in my early twenties and I have all the power in the world to make myself happy. This past week has brought many new and exciting challenges to my life.
This was my first year as a teacher and I hated it. I was overwhelmed by the constant feeling of drowning in paperwork, grading, professional developments, meetings, planning, testing, data, teaching a mandated curriculum, etc. Mind you, I only get a 45 minute break every 5 out of 7 days. Some weeks, I only get 2 days of prep time in the week, like this week. I was stressed, upset, and lost all meaning of taking care of myself. I would come home after work and fall asleep on the couch, but wake up overwhelmed with the fact that I needed to get those papers graded or that lesson planned for tomorrow because I didn't have time in the day. I brought work home every night, every weekend, every break. Now while it did not always get done, the stress to get it done drowned me. On top of all of this, my state is facing major budget cuts and let's not even get started on DeVoss.
Making the decision to resign from teaching was a hard one for me. I love the kids. I think they are brilliant souls and I enjoy watching them grow and flourish on their own. My mom is literally one of the best teachers in the state- Top 4 in 2016. I had big shoes to fill and I was determined to fill them. Student teaching was amazing, but in a different district, I was set up with unrealistic expectations. The stress and never ending break from work left me miserable and I needed a change. Up until my sophomore year of college, I was declared as working towards a nursing degree. I went to plan B to become a teacher because of the kids. I wanted to be a neonatal nurse and I couldn't imagine the sorrow I would feel losing a patient, but with age, I've discovered the passion I have towards bringing comfort to that baby, child, or family. I am still in it for the kids, but my mission is different now.
During my spring break, I met with a advisor and got enrolled back in school to work towards my second degree. I start classes this summer and I am so fucking excited. I am starting my life over with a new career.
I have also mentioned the disdain I have towards my body. After that blog, Weight gain.. ugh, I did go to the gym. I have worked out every other day since then. Yesterday, I began telling myself the mantra, "I know you are in there" "I will get you out". I am determined to get my body back to a better place than where it was 3 years ago! So much so that I have even started Whole30 yesterday.
Whole30 is no fucking joke. I am so reliant on sugar and gluten that I have already experienced headaches in the two days that I have cut it out! It is so hard to be restrictive to just proteins, veggies, and fruits, but like the site says "cancer is hard". Eating the right foods to FUEL your body IS NOT HARD, but girl, I am already planning on some Mac and Cheese with a nice cold beer on day 31! As difficult as a life change this has been, it is necessary. I am resetting my body.
I am starting over.
