Interterm Intensive
"The Interterm deep dive courses are an incredible opportunity to engage in a one-of-a-kind, hands-on learning experience. For the Walgreens course, our objective was to analyze two distinct geographical markets and recommend competitive pricing strategies for each. The company representative from Walgreens was available throughout the week to field our questions and provide any additional materials that we needed, but he left it to us to conduct our own research, analyze the issues, and develop a strategy. At the end of the course, we presented our strategies and rationale to the pricing team from Walgreens. As a first-year MBA student, I was thrilled for the chance to work on a real business problem and provide insight to a Fortune 100 company. This Interterm provided a unique opportunity for me to build skills and knowledge in an area where I have had little experience. The knowledge I developed during this course will be extremely applicable in my future career as a marketer."
Jenny Brennan MBA Candidate (Class of 2010)
"During our Interterm Intensive we were presented with a real live business problem. We used our experience, knowledge and creativity to solve the problem that the McDonald's brand is facing today. There is no other better way to apply the theoretical knowledge that you get in a classroom than with a real-time business problem. For four days we were wearing the shoes of the marketing manager of one of the McDonald's Brands and we had a great deal of exposure to the management team from the McDonald's corporation. We were taken by surprise at how open they were in providing us with all the resources that would help us find a sound solution to the problem. They had a genuine interest in what we presented and provided a great feedback after our presentation. The Notre Dame MBA Interterm Intensive is the best way to build confidence, not only in the education you are receiving from a great school, but to gain confidence in yourself. You realize that all the theoretical knowledge that you have gained to that point is very practical indeed. We had the tools to tackle the problem and offer a sound solution. I felt proud of what we had accomplished and presented to a senior management team."
Olga Starikova MBA Candidate (Class of 2010)
"The Global Risk Management Interterm Intensive provided my classmates and me an invaluable perspective on corporate risk management that would otherwise not have been available in most academic settings. The experience provided by the instructor and guest speaker allowed students to digest a myriad of risk exposure issues including financial exposure, political, regulatory, environmental, reputational, systemic and operational risk. Through our week long team case analysis we were taught to identify relevant risks for our target company, a financial services institution, and subsequently develop a strategy to measure, monitor, mitigate and manage these risks in a cost effective and timely manner. Since participating in this course I have benefited from this training by being able to apply this perspective to numerous case studies in my current curriculum, including financial analysis and valuation in my finance course to managerial issues in my management courses. As I prepare to re-enter the workforce, I am certain that this course has provided me the opportunity to offer my employer additional skill sets that I would not otherwise have if it were not for the Interterm Intensive Week and the Global Risk Management course."
David Sutherland MBA Candidate (Class of 2010)
"The Interterm session was one of the best learning experiences I have had at Notre Dame. If you want to learn more about team dynamics, leadership, solving real, live business problems, while simultaneously learning something new about yourself, your tolerance for individuals with different work ethics and behaviors from yourself, the Interterm session is the opportunity to do so here at Notre Dame. That's what the GE Ecomagination project did for me. The experience was intense. My team and I acted as consultants for GE and our recommendations were well received and there is no greater feeling.
Simply put, the Notre Dame Interterm classes/sessions are one of the great gems that make the Notre Dame MBA experience all the more enriching; a factor that distinguishes ND MBA from other MBA programs."
Ifeoma Ikeagu MBA Candidate (Class of 2011)
"The MBA Interterm Intensive session that Nestle Waters North America (NWNA) participated in was very beneficial. Our company has not had the luxury of dedicated resources to focus on branding our employment which has put us at a competitive disadvantage in the market place. The Interterm Intensive session gave us a week with creative minds who were also the target market that we would recruit from. The students not only gave us significant proposals, but also challenged some of our underlying processes and thinking. We were able to incorporate many of the students' proposals into both our traditional and web recruiting media. We could not have achieved the insights and outcomes that we did in a week with an internal project assignment or contracting a consultant. We found the students to be highly engaged throughout the week. The staff was also very accommodating and provided good networking opportunities."
Mike Swinton Vice President Human Resources
"The Competitive Intelligence and Business Information resources Interterm Intensive class was incredibly valuable. As students, we have so many resources available to us, but it can be overwhelming to know which resource is the most appropriate for any given research project. This class helped to explain the pros and cons of each search engine and which ones we should use prior to investigating others. Since the class has ended, I have had numerous research projects which I have been able to complete much more quickly and effectively as a result of the knowledge I acquired during our sessions. I would certainly encourage anyone to take this class!"
Ellen Schank MBA Candidate (Class of 2008)
"As a first-year MBA student, I participated in the week-long "Introduction to Communications" Interterm Intensive course. This class was a fast-paced, exciting week of applied learning that I found invaluable. During the first day, students participated in small-group discussions and reviewed the fundamentals of speech-making and presentations. Students were then tasked with researching a company in-depth and delivering an 8-10 minute presentation during the final two days of the course directed to customers or company directors.
During the process of preparing my presentation, I gained the experience of working 'real-time' to meet an aggressive deadline and presenting freshly-researched information to a simulated board room. The project was designed to be quick, stressful, and demanding, but proved to be well worth the effort. Professor James 'O Rourke did an excellent job utilizing his expertise to evaluate each student constructively, immediately, and honestly. The course challenged me to push myself as a communicator and left me with tangible ways of improving my presentational effectiveness. I look forward to each Interterm Intensive week as an opportunity to apply my classroom learning at a whole new level and as a measure of my progress as a businessperson."
Erin Vranas MBA Candidate (Class of 2008)
"Valuing Intellectual Property was a fantastic course, primarily because it exposed us to a market most of us were unfamiliar with, but also because of the small class size and access to senior management. We learned a bottom-up approach to IP valuation but also got a great perspective on the state of the IP industry and what promises to be a market that is becoming exponentially more important. Being able to ask questions of senior managers and to analyze the decisions they had made to essentially develop a market out of thin air was fascinating. A broad range of concentrations took the course, which produced a broad spectrum of possible areas for improvement, and both the company and students felt they learned a great deal from the process."
Mark Teborek MBA Candidate (Class of 2007)
"I participated in the OfficeMax live case in Naperville, Illinois during the Interterm Intensive week. It was a great opportunity to learn about supply chain management in a setting very different from the classroom environment. The OfficeMax employees challenged us to learn about the business by asking the right questions and coming up with our own solutions. At the end we were able to present our solutions in front of many senior level managers as well as the CEO. It was a great experience to complement the traditional MBA classes."
Adam Rieck MBA Candidate (Class of 2007)
"The General Electric (Mergers & Acquisitions) Interterm Intensive was an exciting opportunity to work on live challenges facing GE's aerospace division. The class objectives were to shortlist and analyze possible acquisition targets for GE Aerospace. The intensive nature of the class meant that in a week's time students went from an introduction to the commercial aerospace industry to proposing viable acquisition targets. Throughout the process, senior managers of GE's M&A team were present to provide guidance and take feedback. The quality of students' responses is exemplified by the fact that within months of the class suggesting an acquisition target, GE went ahead and acquired the target at a valuation very close to that suggested by the class."
Sid Mittra MBA Candidate (Class of 2007)
"During the Spring 2006 Interterm session, I took Advanced Excel as well as Values in Decision Making – and I believe that I gained some good insights from both courses.
The Advanced Excel course allowed me to brush up on some of my basic Excel skills as well as learn some intricacies and new techniques that I had yet to be exposed to. The Professors (Nasir Ghiaseddin and Jon Crutchfield) were both extremely helpful and patient and created exercises that let us apply the skills to problems that we might expect to face in the future.
The Values in Decision Making course exposed us to problems that featured examples of difficult issues that we might face in the future. We analyzed a case on GM and discussed what could be done to help the company back to profitability, while at the same time addressing the ethical and human side of the consequences of our decisions. It was a course that really made you think more about the impact that our decisions could have on all of the stakeholders involved."
Mike Marley MBA Candidate (Class of 2007)
"The Interterm Intensive session is a great way to learn and practice skills that are essential to work in the corporate environment. In a very short amount of time students get hands on experience on new technologies and emerging trends. I especially liked the Interterm sessions because the courses that I took were designed to help me 'hit the ground running' during my internship. I also liked the variety of courses offered as they allowed me to choose courses that would allow me to develop skills that were aligned with my career objectives. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and helpful towards my progress."
Anand Mitra MBA Candidate (Class of 2007)
"The GE Mergers & Acquisitions Interterm Intensive course was one of the best educational experiences I have had at Notre Dame. This was no simulation: all of the companies we valued were potential targets for one of the most aggressive corporate acquirers in the world. Over just a few days, we were able to learn about the process of valuation as it is practiced by GE, and then apply all the knowledge we had accumulated throughout our entire time at Mendoza to determine which companies presented the best strategic fit – and how much they were worth. Being able to receive feedback from the company's executives and get their input and guidance throughout the entire process created a very practical, this-is-how-it-is-really-done atmosphere. There was a lot to do – and yet not a moment's busy work. I learned a lot, and had an amazing time. This was definitely one of the highest value added classes I have ever taken."
Max Pinigin MBA Candidate (Class of 2007)
"The Notre Dame MBA Interterm Intensive classes have offered me fantastic opportunities for immersion in topics and environments that would otherwise be impossible during normal class schedules.
In March of 2007, I participated in the OfficeMax Supply Chain 'live' case, which was hosted at OfficeMax headquarters in Naperville, IL. The opportunity to delve into the depths of a real business issue over the course of four days was a unique and rewarding experience. We enjoyed broad access to the company's personnel, systems and key suppliers. As a result, we were able to gather the information necessary to develop meaningful results for our client. The 'live' case allowed us to implement the analysis and problem solving skills that we had developed in our traditional classes. The experience culminated in a final presentation of our findings and recommendations to the CEO, the CMO as well as several vice presidents."
Jeff Haddon MBA Candidate (Class of 2007)
"I was very fortunate to participate in the HP live case study and become a HP employee for a week. Despite having worked in a variety of industries, I've never worked for a company that size. It was an unprecedented chance to play in the "major leagues" of the business world. I'm very grateful that Notre Dame and HP were able to put this course together. The benefit of working on a live case study with HP is that we could compare our analyses and strategies alongside theirs, allowing us to gauge our current abilities and seeing how far we have yet to go. The Interterm Intensive sessions are aptly named; the experience here was really intense. The big take-away from working with HP was that a company of that size views its competition quite differently. At that level, the lines between competitor and partner become very blurry, requiring a different mode of thinking. Talking to some of HP's top decision makers and seeing the world from their perspective was a pretty eye-opening experience."
David Chow (MBA '06)
Associate Product Marketing Manager, Windows Client
"Interterm Intensives provides an invaluable opportunity for Notre Dame (Mendoza) students to broaden their education outside of the traditional MBA curriculum. By offering students the opportunity to explore real-world issues and timely topics Notre Dame is providing their candidates, and the organizations they join after graduation, a significant competitive advantage."
Christopher Cronin (MBA '04)
Associate Product Director
Vistakon, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.
"The Interterm Intensive course structure provides highly relevant opportunities to engage in focused development such as case studies and six sigma green belt training. This will allow the students to apply their academic skills in a realistic business environment."
Patrick Finneran (ND '67)
Vice President/General Manager Logistics Support Systems
The Boeing Company
"Once again, the NDMBA program brings students closer to today's complex, global business issues through Interterm Intensives. Acclimating MBA candidates to "real world" challenges through this new curriculum shows the innovation and global reach of the NDMBA program. This type of experience and visibility will separate those who participate not only in the classroom, but during the recruiting process and in the workplace. The worldwide marketplace is constantly changing and the University of Notre Dame MBA program demonstrates, yet again, that not only is it ready for the challenge but leading the charge. Well done and Go Irish!"
William Kehoe (MBA '01)
Director, Finance
The Beanstalk Group, New York
"Getting real hands-on experience in Six Sigma will really stand out to a prospective employer while giving you a significant boost early in your career."
Donald M. Casey (ND '82, MBA '83)
Company Group Chairman
Johnson and Johnson Vision Care
"Excellent business communication skills are necessary in any profession, whether you are selling a new idea, a solution or yourself. When interviewing prospective candidates for an open position, I always notice that the person with great communication skills usually stands out above the rest. Mendoza's Introduction to Communications is a great offering for anyone who wants to refine and enhance these necessary skills."
Christina Glorioso (ND '95, MBA '99)
Vice President, Viacom Plus
"The Interterm Intensive Program is a unique opportunity that should provide valuable 'real life' training and experiences that will help students during interviews and in the workplace."
Lisa DeBiase (ND '93)
Brand Manager
Procter & Gamble
"The Interterm Intensive course called "Credible Pro Forma Financials" might be the most valuable class that I have taken in the MBA program. The opportunity to learn from current angel investors, analysts, and entrepreneurs exactly how to design and present pro forma financials that not only pass the "laugh test," but are defensible in the face of probative and skeptical Q & A was eye opening. What we learned and practiced about issue spotting and presentation will be applicable not only in bringing my own venture to market, but also in analyzing business and investment opportunities of my own. On a personal note, I learned that I had been approaching model development almost exactly backwards; the class very likely saved me from embarrassment and wasting at least one valuable opportunity. It is an outstanding complement and extension of the Forecasting class, as well as Strategy, Accounting, and Human Resources classes.
Ken Boucher
ND MBA Class of 2008
"The OfficeMax Interterm Intensive Course exhibited the ideal partnership between a university and a corporation. The partnership enabled students to spend a week on-site at one of OfficeMax's distribution centers in Itasca, Illinois as well as its headquarters in Naperville, Illinois where students worked hands-on with a dynamic real project that will be implemented within the corporation. The course facilitated student learning as we were able to serve in a hands-on consulting role where we partnered with OfficeMax's associates in every step of the process. The experience culminated with an 'out' briefing to CEO Sam Duncan and his leadership team that provided us with actionable feedback in a risk-free environment. The partnership was also balanced as we were able to add value for OfficeMax by providing an outside perspective and actionable recommendations for the corporation. Clearly, this was an experience second to none that provided us with an incredible opportunity to apply our MBA education and an opportunity to make superior connections with senior leaders at OfficeMax."

"The Starbucks live case study was an engaging, challenging and FUN learning experience. Aside from the company's unprecedented growth as a market leader and ubiquitous assimilation into the American culture, Starbucks was a fascinating company to learn about and further collaboratively analyze in teams. Each morning we sampled and discussed various freshly-brewed "product offerings," which got the entire class jazzed and ready to go! Top executives presented us with first-hand access to the inner workings of Starbucks including; product breakdown, market analysis and brand management, and then asked us to develop a strategy aimed at "solving" a challenge the company faces today. Although geared toward marketing, the course allowed us to integrate and apply knowledge from all areas of business management. I feel the Starbucks live case was a very strong complement to the MBA curriculum."
Lauren McCloskey Elston

"I participated in the Nestle Waters class during the MBA Interterm Intensive week. The course offered interaction with top level Nestle management and an in-depth overview of a growing billion dollar industry. Our groups came up with valid solutions to problems that had yet to be resolved by Nestle Waters. This course was a great opportunity to apply material from our previous courses and impress potential employers in the process. Our class left a lasting impression and because of this experience I think that Nestle will return to Notre Dame again to offer another course."
Ryan Elston
ND MBA Class of 2008
"While theories from academia are a vital component of any master's program, it is the application and use of such tools that provides the most challenging and rewarding work. The Notre Dame MBA Live Cases during the Interterm session provide an outstanding opportunity for students to demonstrate their ability to work on real business issues. Starbucks (SBUX) has been a retail phenomenon that continues to surprise and delight both its customers and shareholders. One brand in the company's portfolio, however, has been a lackluster performer. Due in large part to a lack of focus and demanding ROI requirements, Torrefazzione Italia Coffee, is a brand without a home. Our challenge as students was to develop a feasible strategy for "TI": where and how should it be positioned, how should it be priced, where it should be sold, and of course, how much could it realistically net for the company. After a thorough analysis of the brand, the company portfolio and the competitive landscape, we presented our strategy to the company's management and received candid and professional feedback. While many business schools use case studies that are years old to teach, we learn by tackling business issues in real time. The Starbucks team was enthusiastic and receptive to our ideas and it was a real pleasure to work with them. One could not ask for a more practical and enjoyable way to combine all the skills and tools one learns in B-School."
Josh Burke
ND MBA Class of 2008
"The Walgreen's MBA Interterm Intensive course was an amazing opportunity to apply theories we learned in the classroom to a real life business problem the company is facing. Over the span of four days we were able to develop an understanding of the pricing model of one of the nation's largest retailer's uses and create new ways to change and build on that model as Walgreen's grows into new markets. Most striking was the unfettered access we were given to the decision-maker who was leading the project. He spent the entire week with us and discussed his challenges and decision criteria very openly. No topic was out of bounds and he never brushed a question or conversation aside by claiming the information was too sensitive to share. On the final day, when we presented our suggestions, I gained confidence that the skills we've learned over the last two years are immediately applicable in the business world. Moreover, I was proud and reassured as I watched my colleagues presentations and compared them to what we would have been able to do just two short years ago."
Mark Johnson
ND MBA Class of 2008
"Discovering the secrets behind the Starbucks brand success was only one of the advantages to participating in the MBA Interterm Intensive Starbucks course. Not only were we given the chance to discover the world of Starbucks and the coffee industry in general, but we also developed a brand strategy for a real, current issue within the corporation. We were presented with the opportunity to practice the skills we are developing in our respective areas of interest, ranging from finance to brand management. Creating a strategy was the first step, but before presenting to the senior managers of Starbucks we were also required to design an implementation strategy. What an invaluable experience to apply classroom instruction to a live case for a power corporation like Starbucks."
Rachel Mellard
ND MBA Class of 2009
"Real-world experience, in addition to classroom learning, is the best way to gain an understanding of, and appreciation for, any task. This type of learning is exactly what takes place in the 'Credible Pro Forma Financials' Interterm Intensive class. From the business plan analysis to the derivation of pro forma financial statements, every aspect of the course feels like the real thing. Students have a tremendous opportunity in that they get to evaluate an actual business plan, make recommendations on that plan, and then present their findings to a panel of investor experts. Not many courses offer such a challenging, yet rewarding, learning opportunity. In addition, instructor Rich Linting brings an incredible amount of expertise, industry knowledge, and seemingly limitless list of contacts; all of which combine to give participants a taste of what entrepreneurship is all about, and the knowledge to get any investor to say, "Yes!"
Brock Swensen
ND MBA Class of 2008
"The Starbucks Interterm provided a unique opportunity to gain strategic insight into one of America's best brands and to impact its strategic goals. Starbucks senior marketing managers presented internal SWOT and competitive analysis. The problem: what to do with a brand that naturally wants to compete with Starbucks but that cannot. We had two days to solve this problem and then present our solution. My team meticulously utilized every MBA discipline and did not finalize a solution at 5:00 p.m. the day before the presentation. It was an absolutely amazing challenge that resulted in a diverse spectrum of solutions. We literally got to taste the fruits of our labor: receiving daily surprises and delights. Not only that, but I had the opportunity to have coffee with one of the Starbucks managers three weeks later in Seattle! Such an opportunity is truly a treat and one of the best in my time at Notre Dame."

Tropical "Home away from home"
Beautiful. Tranquil. Relaxing. My husband and I stayed in the Taralago for 4 nights and fell in love with the rental. The details of the rental and all the reviews are completely accurate and the unit was clean and cozy. You immediately feel comfortable and at home! Kathleen knew we were getting in extremely late and had cookies waiting for us to snack on before bed. COOKIES! Such a thoughtful thing to do! We visited the area to scuba dive Blue Heron Bridge which is 25 minutes to the north. There was plenty of room for our gear to dry. There was a nice pool to relax and cool off. Kathleen and Lou were such great hosts and all their 4 legged staff were so friendly and playful. We have been looking for a great place to stay in Florida and we have now found it! Our next stay is already booked!
Home away from home-only better!
I thought I had walked into a Better Home and Gardens home. Eden House was beautifully decorated, warm, inviting, creatively designed and fully stocked for my family to step into and enjoy themselves for the week. We spent the first hours exploring the house of its many rooms, fine furniture, wardrobes, hidden desk, porches, game drawers, and skeleton in the closet, before grabbing a folded, warm towel and heading to the garden enclosed pool. The kitchen with its little breakfast nook was the central gathering place of the family and big enough for all of us while cooking, snacking, or throwing wet items into the dryer. Carol was ready with a welcoming email and immediately available for suggestions about where to eat and answers to concerns. Before leaving I emailed her to say we wanted to rent Eden House again next year.

Some of the specific issues we deal with are anxiety, substance abuse, depression/suicide, conflicts with parents/spouses/children, dating issues, coping with past or present abusive situations, and grieving.

THE SQUARE was first released as an unfinished cut at Sundance in January 2013, where it received the Audience Award for Worldwide Cinema Documentary. It is a live developing story of the quintessential struggle for freedom and democracy and the peoples' fight for their rights against institutional powers.

It takes local employment practice knowledge, contacts, persistence and a lot of hard work to find a new executive position. Alternatively, you can utilize the international executive career management services here at International Job Search.

Statement by AFT President Randi Weingarten on Senate Rules Reform
WASHINGTON—Today's action by Senate Democrats is a last resort to help our government function. Between filibusters, government shutdowns and holding presidential nominations hostage, the GOP has been determined since President Obama's election and re-election to stymie his ability to govern. The president should have the right to name appointees to help him lead the nation and the right to fill court vacancies. Republicans have blocked far more judicial and political nominees in President Obama's time in office than were blocked in the several decades before his election. The president was right to note that such obstruction is unacceptable.
When elected representatives use the power invested in them to keep public institutions from working, right-minded people say enough is enough. This historic rule change by Sen. Harry Reid and the Democrats was truly a last resort. Republican protests are hollow considering that their repeated manipulations forced this move.

The AFT represents 1.5 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

Professor David Harris was interviewed by Germany's ARD Television on the use of video and body worn video cameras by police in the U.S. A federal judge in New York has ordered the city's police department to conduct pilot studies of the use of body worn video cameras; Harris has written the only law review article on the use of these devices by police. Harris spoke to ARD journalists at the network's bureau in New York; his interview will become part of a documentary on American police and their use of technology. ARD is a large public broadcasting network in Germany.

Partners Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) decide to use a surrogate to expand their family inThe New Normal.
The pop culture gay flavor of the minute? White gay dads.
"We're having a baby, Bri!" croons one of the leads on NBC's The New Normal. "This is our family. You, me and that kid forever."
It's a mini-boomlet, says real-life white gay dad and sociology professor Joshua Gamson. Not too long ago, he says, pop culture once mainly defined gay men as promiscuous and deviant, rather than monogamous and devoted to their families.
"It does seem like a strong counter-stereotype of how gay men have been portrayed over the past, whatever, 50 years," he said.
Think about one of the most popular sitcoms on, says Max Mutchnik. "Modern Family introduced us to the whole world of gaybies," he noted.
Mutchnick helped create Will and Grace. His latest show, called Partners, also gay-themed, was recently canceled. But Mutchnick says any show with openly gay characters should reflect people audiences could know in their real lives. So we see gay men and lesbians in real life with babies — or "gaybies," if you will. Meanwhile, gay TV pioneer Ellen DeGeneres is a face of the multi-billion-dollar cosmetic company Cover Girl, and television overflows with gay and lesbian characters, from the pudgy bro Max on the ABC show Happy Endings to the crusading lesbian journalist on the cable hit American Horror Story.
Ryan Murphy dreamed up American Horror Story. And The New Normal. And Glee. His memories of watching TV as a child are best described as bleak.
"I was a little sad gay boy growing up in Indiana," he recalled. "And my visions of what was gay were what I saw on TV. Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares, who I loved, and Charles Nelson Reilly on the password shows."
Gay audiences clung to what they had: signifiers and stereotypes, says Dave Kohan. He's Max Mutchnick's straight collaborator.
"Remember that show called Love, Sidney?" he said, referring to an early 1980s sitcom starring Tony Randall as a wealthy gay man living with a little girl and her mom. The character's sexuality was barely even an open secret.
"He wasn't gay, he was shy," Kohan wryly observed. "It was another three letter word ending in 'y.' We always said he went to shy bars."
What a staggering sea change when you fast forward to what's on TV today. Back in the days of Love, Sidney, even a "shy" character courted controversy. Today, there's no controversy at all when Glee, arguably the gayest show on network television, models what it's like to be a gay kid or how to parent one.
"The Kurt/ Dad story on Glee was completely based on the relationship I wished I had had with my own father," Ryan Murphy said.
If anything, Murphy said, Glee has had to deal with a kind of opposite controversy — fans complaining vociferously about gay characters not being affectionate enough with each other. Equality is not exactly television's strength when it comes to GLBT representation. Last fall, Gallup released findings about its largest poll ever about gay Americans. Slightly more women identified as gay than men, and more African-Americans, Asians and Latinos said they were GLBT than whites. So where's that on TV?
"Well, actually, there have been a lot of women of color, which has been great," said Trish Bendix, who runs a website called After Ellen that tracks lesbian representation on television. She rattled off at least half a dozen shows with nonwhite queer female characters: White Collar, The Good Wife, Underemployed, Pretty Little Liars, Grey's Anatomy, Glee.
But too often, says Bendix, these are small roles played by exoticized slinky femmes. "Like, 'the other' is always going to be the other," she observed ruefully. "So we'll just pile all that otherness on the one person."
Sexual others have long found one natural home on television: reality shows. All the way back to the very first one. An American Family aired on PBS in 1973. It followed a family over an inadvertently eventful year that included a son coming out. Then The Real World two decades later, then Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Suddenly, TV screens swelled with gay, lesbian bisexual and transgender characters on reality shows from Survivor to The Voice to RuPaul's Drag Race.
Maybe it's because the genre depends absolutely on a sense of authenticity, says celebrity chef Susan Feniger. She's competed on the skill reality show Top Chef Masters. She reflected that people who've had to define themselves as different might have an edge in reality casting.
"Reality TV, if you're open with yourself and who you are, then why wouldn't you be openly out?" she wondered. "Especially now. Being out is hip right now!"
Right now, gay representations on TV are seemingly boundless. Winning The Amazing Race. Anchoring the news. There's even an entire gay cable channel, Logo. And gay and straight audiences are relishing gay TV villains that not too long ago might have been deemed offensive caricatures.
Take Thomas, the evil gay footman on Downtown Abbey. That character once might have been seen as a homophobic stereotype. Now, he just blends into an ever-expanding universe. One that's in fact even bigger than the actual number of gay people in the population. A study by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation shows 4.4 percent of character on TV are gay. Gallup measures the actual percentage of gay Americans as 3.3 percent.

Originally it was friends, family and chefs from Atlanta and beyond coming together on Feb. 26 in support of Fox Bros Bar-B-Q head chef Charlotte Nelson, who was diagnosed with stage four inflammatory breast cancer in 2012.
Sadly, Nelson died unexpectedly on Saturday. Now the event at Sweetwater Brewing Co., dubbed "Charlotte's Web," will be a tribute to Nelson's courage and a benefit for the The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Nelson worked with many of Atlanta's chefs at restaurants including Atmosphere, Taurus and Canoe and collaborated with Gary Mennie to help open Livingston Restaurant. She joined Fox Bros. in 2009, and became head chef in late 2011.
"Charlotte's love for what she does shows in her food; there was no question that she is who we wanted leading our kitchen," Jonathan Fox said in an earlier press release about Charlotte's Web.
Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q and Friends Present "Charlotte's Web…Cancer Touches Us All" at SweetWater Brewing Co., $100, includes samples from 16 chefs, hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, live music and a silent auction. 6-10 p.m. Feb. 26, www.supportcharlottesweb.com.

My deepest condolences to Charlotte's friends and family. I sure love the BBQ at Fox Bros. and I'm sure she was a big reason for the quality of food there.

While it is easy to remember the wonderful times we have with family and friends over a nice meal it is easy to forget the folks that work hard to make that possible. I have never met Ms. Nelson, but have many wonderful memories of eating at Fox Brothers with family and friends and I have no doubt she contributed to those positive experience. My condolences to all her family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Fox Bros. BBQ family (employees, friends and family of Ms. Nelson). Never had the pleasure of meeting her either but I can only imagine how she will be missed.

So many people volunteering their time to raise money for such a great person now have the chance to help so many people by supporting this charity. Maybe the research financed by our donations in her memory will save many lives in the near future. May Charlotte be remembered by those she has helped and those she continues to help.

Matt Pushkin was hanging around the Dell ReGeneration booth at CES 2008, and we got to talking about alternative energy. Turns out, he works for Aquatic Energy, who are harvesting algae in Lousiana and turning it into biodiesel. I asked him to share what he's doing with us, and he gladly agreed.
Matt's company is taking CO2 from local industry and pumping it into specially built algae ponds, which are harvested every three to five days. While one acre of soy can produce about a barrel of biodiesel a in a year, the same land dedicated to this unique process produces between 1500-2000 barrels of http://africa-info.org/buying-levitra-online-canada B100 a year, depending on online levitra tablet how sunny it is. Talk about solar power!

Also, not sure if I heard it correctly, but did he say investors wanted to levitra next day delivery use 7700 acres of rainforest in Malaysia for this process? Please tell me they won't be cutting DOWN that forest for this...

Well the Federal Government is subsidizing corn like mad and it is only getting worse with the threat of corn based biodiesel.
Anyone have a comparison of corn versus biodiesel?

My name is David A. Johnston and I'm the CEO of Aquatic Energy LLC (the company mentioned in this video.)
I would like to offer two important Clarifications:
#1. We are not cutting down the rain forest in Malaysia or anywhere else. The land in Malaysia that we are looking at is currently under utilized RICE LAND. This particular rice land is unproductive because of salt-water infiltration and as a result the land has poor conditions for growing rice and the wow it's great cheap cialis from uk farmers there are looking for alternatives. However our algae does not mind the salt water and therefore we can use such marginal lands for algae to Biodiesel production. Giving both a benefit to the local community, the environment and cheapest prices on viagra the local economy.
#2. While Matt Pushkin is correct in the amount of algae oil that we produce 1,500 to 2,000 gallons per acre, each year. The video uses the wrong unit. In the video the unit "barrel" is used to cheapest tramadol overseas describe our production rates. The correct unit is gallons NOT barrels. Both for our yearly production of the facility we are commercializing in Louisiana and gallons produced per acre. It's a common mistake.
When compared to soybean oil or palm oil, which produce 100 and 500 gallons of tramadol with online consultation oil per acre, per year, respectively algae growing 1,500 gallon an acre each year is an excellent improvement for the Biodiesel industry. And more importantly it begins the move away from edible oil to high growth rate non-edible oils that do not compete for farmland. Helping to solve the food vs. fuel issue.
I hope those clarifications are helpful.
All The Best,
David A. Johnston

I think this is the order viagra us least destructive cellulosic form of biofeul in terms of wildlife conservation and economy. Another company is also attempting this (ww.solixbiofuels.com) in a closed system. I particularly like the closed system because any waste can easily be contained and wastes and nutrients easily reused. Since there aren'y any trees in Arizona, this facility would have limited impact, not to mention the great amount of energy (sun) available in the area. Regardless of the technique I don't see why this is not a viable option. WE currently produce tons of excess algae (take a look at an aerial photo of the Chesapeake Bay), so lets utilize this nuisance group.
The issue I see with the open system is canadian meds cialis the problem with colonization of cheapest generic cialis canadian pharmacy insects in these algal system. It seems it would be an expensive venture to http://cngnewengland.com/where-buy-levitra filter out the insects and follow link best place cialis other organic material.
Oh and "so what" - just in case you were not aware, some NGOs do actually manage their conservation land for forest products and oil, but understand how to balance conservation and societal issues.

I don't have any problem with Gov Barbour but, the only move he'll be making is for the Capitol Hill lunch buffet!
When was the last time we had a chubby President?
Not that it should matter
It's such a shame that in the USA, defending Liberty has become such a heroic deed.
We have discussed Harley Barbour on this forum before. If he can publically extol the virtues of the White Citizens Council, that is a deal breaker or me. I could never vote for him.

The Welte Light-Tone was one of the last instruments designed by Edwin Welte (1876-1958) of the famous Welte-Mignon mechanical instrument manufacturers. Welte had become fascinated with the possibility of using optical disks since 1925 and produced a number of prototypes using clay optical disks before completing the production version of the Lichttonorgel. The organ premiered in 1936 at the Berlin philharmonic but any potential the instrument had was destroyed by the Nazi's disapproval of Welte due to his marriage to a German Jew. After the war Welte continued to try and make a commercial success of the instrument but eventually foundered due to the complexity of the photo-electric system and from increasing competition from cheaper and more efficient instruments such as the Hammond Organ. Welte never built a production model of the Lichtonorgel.
The instruments sound generation unit consisted of 12 glass disks which were printed with 18 different looped waveforms in concentric rings. The glass 'tone wheel' disks were rotated over a series of photoelectric cells, filtering a light beam that controlled the sound timbre and pitch. The resulting combinations of tones gave 3 different timbres for all the octave registers of each note on the keyboard.
The German arm of the Welte-Mignon company in Frieburg was completely destroyed in 1944 by allied bombing and all of the companies closely kept secret designs were lost forever.
Biographical Information
Edwin Welte (1876-1958) and his brother-in-law, Karl Bockish, developed the Welte-Mignon reproducing piano in 1904 for M. Welte & Soehne of Freiburg, Germany. Music roll recording commenced in 1905. The recording piano and the reproducing system were entirely new inventions which astounded the musicians and fans in Europe. In 1906 (?) he established "The Welte Artistic Player Piano Company" in a showroom in New York and soon was producing pianos and music rolls for American customers.
The Welte Company
The Welte Company was a German organ firm which was first established in 1832 at Vörenbach (Black-Forest) by automata manufacturer Michael Welte (1807-1880). In c1865 he moved to Freiburg/Breisgau and the firm was registered there as M. Welte & Söhne. During the remainder of the 19th century the Welte firm expanded considerably and became particularly noted for their orchestrions. Welte's "Cabinet player", a reproducing piano without keyboard which bore the Mignon label, was first patented in 1904 while the firm was under the direction of Edwin Welte (1876-1958, grandson of the founder). The prototype was exhibited during late 1904 in Leipzig and became commercially available from early 1905. The Vorsetzer came on the market in 1908. Mignon was integrated into their upright pianos in 1909, and into their grand pianos from 1913. In 1908 the technology was adapted and applied to the Welte "Philharmonic Autograph Organ". This was the forerunner of the "Welte-Philharmonie Organ" which was first publicly displayed at the Turin Exhibition of 1911. The firm then went on to successfully market player organs, cinema organs and, later, when their market contracted during the 1930s, church organs. They concurrently produced rolls of performances by the greatest organists of the day and sold them with considerable commercial success. From 1865-1917 they also ran a branch in New York (M. Welte & Sons) under Emil Welte (1841-1923, eldest son of the founder), but it was closed during World War I as an "alien enterprise". Welte's instruments became status symbols and the epitome of entertainment in their day. They were installed in stately houses, palaces, schools, department stores (Harrods in London had one), yachts, ships (one was manufactured just too late to be aboard the Titanic) and even apparently a "house of pleasure" (the Atlantic Garden orchestrion). Around the world they were dispersed throughout Europe, USA, with their market is known to have extended much further – to Istanbul, Russia, China and Sumatra for example. The top of Welte's Orchestrion/player-organ range was the "Welte-Philharmonie". Very few of the full- sized model were ever manufactured. From about 1926 Welte began to be threatened by a rapidly growing radio and recording industry. Business declined so much that, in 1932 they narrowly escaped bankruptcy. At about this time they were also involved in a collaboration with the Telefunken Company which was terminated because Edwin Welte's first wife, Betty Dreyfuss, was Jewish. This stalled collaboration involved the development of electronic organs. Using (analog) sampling and photo-cells, truly prophetic developments at that time, had Welte been successful they might well have eliminated the Hammond organ from the pages of history. It was World War II which finally precipitated the total demise of the firm. The Freiburg premises – all stock, instruments and historical documents – were effectively annihilated by British bombing in November 1944. The bombed out factory was something of a landmark by the Freiburg railway station for at least decade until the mid-1950s. (from: Museum of Music Automatons Seewen)

McCain Wants Change, Too
His speech electrified the Republican National Convention last night...now two moms tell us what they think.
Arizona Senator John McCain accepted the Republican presidential nomination last night with a speech that tried to divorce himself from the record of the Bush Administration. In an unprecedented move, McCain admitted about his own party: "We were elected to change Washington, and we let Washington change us," adding, "we're going to reach out our hand to any willing patriot, make this government start working for you again, and get this country back on the road to prosperity and peace."
• McCain was clearly at his strongest and most sincere, recounting his POW experience in Vietnam and saying, "The good man in the cell next door to me, my friend, Bob Craner, saved me. Through taps on a wall, he told me I had fought as hard as I could. No man can always stand alone. And then he told me to get back up and fight again for my country and for the men I had the honor to serve with, because every day they fought for me."
• However, he received his biggest applause of the night referencing Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. One couldn't help but think her performance on Wednesday night overshadowed the top of the ticket.
• The speech was disrupted several times by Code Pink activists who were wrestled out of the hall. High in the rafters, a loan Iraqi war veteran defiantly held a sign: McCain Votes Against Vets. The nominee urged the crowd not to be distracted "by the static ... Americans want us to stop yelling at each other."
• McCain ended his address vowing to "fight for what's right for our country ... for the ideals and character of a free people ... for our children's future ... and justice and opportunity for all." And with a massive balloon drop, the Republican Party brought their convention to a close.
To hear a Democrat mom and Republican mom weigh in on McCain's performance, go to PAGE 2.
This speech touched my heart, to say the least! Two true Americans fighting for the betterment of the people. That's exactly what we need in America. The speeches of both candidates energized Republicans and gave us hope for a better tomorrow.
Someone should change his diaper.
I'm always amazed to read comments like those from Angela re McCain and Palin. Believe it or not, Bush is no longer running for President; why would he be discussed? This was McCain's speech about what HE would do for our country and why. In re-hashing the usual alarmist sky-is-falling rhetoric spewed by liberals, she misses the issues that are NOW and important.
So TV cameras didn't pan the attendees to make sure a variety of different races/color were shown? How totally obvious is that anyway? Global Warming? The opinions on that are so biased and controlled by liberals (read Gore) that you can't even get a straight answer from Wikipedia (which only gives you Gore's Chicken Little theory and bans all other comments). Re the energy "crisis," there wouldn't be one if the Democrats had moved forward years ago to make us independent of global oil and had supported alternative energy sources. When alternative energy has been introduced to the public, like the clean-burning Natural Gas Vehicle Conversion Kit for automobiles that was introduced in 1968 in Washington, D.C. (for $375), the public didn't support it. Know anyone who bought one? No…because drivers would be inconvenienced by having to use part of their trunk space for the tanks.
Sarah Palin's nomination was a surprise—but the surprise was the strength of character and foresight McCain used in choosing a strong, experienced woman who isn't afraid to do a tough job and still be a woman!
As for being in a rescession—this is not true. Simply put, a rescession is two SUCCESSIVE failing quarters…and, thankfully, this has not happened. Are we in a tight squeeze? You bet! However, a big part of this is because in 2003 the Democratic Congress denied the Bush administration's request for the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis over a decade ago. Now WE are the ones who must pay. In addition, we are paying for a war that is important to the security of our Nation and the survival of the free world. Why wouldn't we all be affected in some way?

Foreword: This is probably the only article I have ever written that I implore my readers not only to read but to read in depth and perhaps to print for future quick reference. Although I have started the piece on several humorous notes, there is nothing at all funny about the potential that we all have for saving a human life, and that is precisely what this piece deals with. This article has appeared at various times in newspapers, magazines and internet sites. It is as urgent today as it has ever been.
The Heimlich Technique - Saving A Life
There is no love more sincere than the love of food
- G.B. Shaw
There are all sorts of things that can stick in one's throat during dinner. When Queen Victoria was celebrating her Golden Jubilee, one of her guests was Princess Liliuokalani of Hawaii. During dinner, the Polynesian princess told Victoria: "Your Majesty, I thought you would like to know that I am a blood relative of yours." The astonished Queen asked how that could be. "My grandfather ate your Captain Cook" was the reply.
Such dangers exist even at breakfast. When Winston Churchill was breakfasting at Blenheim Palace, he entered into an acrimonious argument with Nancy Astor. In a pique, Nancy snapped: "Winston, I were married to you, I'd put poison in your coffee." Churchill retorted: "Nancy, if I were married to you, I'd drink it". And then there was the Marquis of Blandford who looked forward eagerly to his daily breakfast of bacon and eggs. One can imagine his dismay when one morning he lifted the cover of the silver dish which usually contained them and found in their place a tiny baby doll, all dressed in pink. The doll had been placed there by his wife to let him know that she had discovered that he had just fathered a new addition to the family of their friend Lady Aylesford.
The anecdotes are amusing but Nancy Astor, Princess Liliuokalani and the Marquis of Blandford have something far more tragic in common. Each of them died by choking to death while eating.
Food is marvelous - of that there can be no question. But choking can kill. In fact, choking is the sixth major cause of accidental death in the world today. The saddest part of this story is that most of these deaths could have been prevented. In 1974, Dr. Henry Heimlich discovered a simple maneuver that could save the lives of choking people. Although the technique is taught in nearly all first aid courses in the United States and throughout Europe, there are still far too many of us who are not familiar with it.
The first important thing is to recognize the choking victim. The person who is choking can neither breathe nor speak. After a short time the victim's face starts to turn blue and a hand reflexively goes to the throat. When asked if they are choking, nearly all victims will nod affirmatively. From the time one starts to choke you have four minutes to avert unconsciousness, brain damage and death.
A pamphlet published by the United States Department of Public Health suggests that too many people waste time wondering if the person is having a heart attack. Nearly all doctors concur that in case of doubt you should try the Heimlich maneuver first, and only then go on to give the kiss of life. In a recent English survey of 56 restaurant deaths, 55 were found to have choked and only one had a heart attack.
To use the maneuver on a standing victim, get behind the person, put your arms around him, make a fist and put it on the victim's stomach, below the bottom of the rib cage and above the navel. Grasp your fist with the other hand and thrust it sharply upwards into the victim's abdomen. You may have to repeat this up to six times, but in most cases the obstruction will pop out of the mouth after one or two thrusts. Take care not to squeeze the ribs themselves, as this could actually fracture a bone.
Although most people who realize they are choking tend to stand up, some remain seated. The Heimlich technique can still be used, simply thrusting from behind the victim's chair. With children (or adults who have already lost consciousness), it is best to put the victim on his or her back, with the head straight (sideways might block the escape of the offending object). Kneel astride the victim, position your hands and thrust in an upward direction. Take care in such cases not to thrust from the side as this could harm the liver or spleen.
In the event that you are the person choking, there are two ways to use the technique. Try punching your own paunch or, if that does fails, stand alongside a table or the back of a chair and jab your abdomen against it.
There are several actions that are not only useless but also potentially harmful. Slapping a choking victim on the back or poking fingers in the victim's mouth can waste valuable time and can drive the object further in. Nor should you let anyone who might be choking leave the room alone, as they might lose consciousness and die in the lavatory.
None of this knowledge should put a damper on the love of good dining. Several years ago, Dr. Heimlich, who used to dine frequently at Frank's Trattoria in New York wrote that his own favorite meal consists of raviolis stuffed with mushrooms, minestrone soup, veal scallopini with fried peppers and biscuit tortoni.

Just got back from 9 days in America. My kids didn't come this year, so it was me, Jo and her sister Elaine plus Ron Bacardi (fuckin' guy). I missed the kids–and the dog, good lord I missed the dog–but it was fun all the same. We travelled well together, suspect we'll be a trio next year too (Ron gave me a headache, so we're not talking) although I want the dog to come with so maybe it's Kelowna instead of America in '13.
We're becoming older people and there's not one damn thing we can do about it. We still drink too much or stay in the sun too long, but now we have a travelling pharmacy for every ailment. Honest to God, it's like Shopper's Drug Mart in a U-Haul! I listened to Gram Parsons this trip, now convinced more than ever the Eagles should hand over all of their money to his estate.
15 predictions for the fall:
- Season starts on my birthday, December 5.
- Oilers invite a free agent goalie to TC–my guess is Ty Conklin.
- Oilers are more rugged, meaner and hard to play against from the first whistle.
- Oilers demote two NHL contracts–my guess is Lennart Petrell and Corey Potter.
- Anton Lander and Magnus Paajarvi open the season on the same line–in OKC.
- Krueger runs Horcoff-Smyth-Hartikainen in pre-season.
- Eric Belanger has a rebound season.
- Nail Yakupov and Justin Schultz have solid rookie years, but do not win the Calder.
- Taylor Hall scores 30 goals despite the shortened season.
- Shawn Horcoff passes the "C" on to Hall or Eberle.
- The Nuge is less dominant on the PP, but shows a "Datsyuk" quality as a 2-way center.
- Ryan Whitney is improved over last season, but not all the way back.
- Ales Hemsky has a thrilling season.
- Nikolai Khabibulin retires and becomes the team's minor league goaltending instructor.
- Sam Gagner quiets the critics a little more.
One final item, the family theme song for so many trips to the USA. God what a beautiful tune.
