In the image below, you'll see that tropical storms generally form in the western Caribbean, then travel north/northeast into the Gulf of Mexico during the month of June.
By July, storms are forming more in the eastern Caribbean, traveling northwest into the Gulf of Mexico or along and off of the Atlantic Coast.
Hurricane activity really begins to pick up in August and peaks in mid-September. Tropical storms are now forming from waves off the African Coast. The storms travel due west into the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic.
September is similar to August, except more storms are forming. Heads up if you've got a cruise planned.
October can still be a busy tropical month. Storms tend to form back in the western Caribbean and up through the western Atlantic over the still warm tropical waters.
By November the Hurricane Season (June 1st - November 30th) is winding down. Storms tend to form in the still warm western Caribbean.
Here is much more information from the National Hurricane Center about Tropical Storm Climatology. Tropical Storm Origins . Images from the National Hurricane Center.

Davie Univeristy School receiver Sam Bruce, a freshman, helped the South Florida Express Elite squad to the championship at the IMG Southeast Regional 7-on-7 Tournament in Brandenton (CHRIS HAYS/ORLANDO SENTINEL / April 22, 2013)
After suffering its lone loss of the tournament at the hands of South Florida rival Florida Fire, the South Florida Express Elite needed two games, but got it done Sunday.
Fighting back through the losers' bracket of the IMG Southeast Regional 7-on-7 Tournament, it was the Express which sent Florida Fire onto the second-place podium with 12-9 and 19-13 victories in the championship round of the event.
The top four teams, including Central Florida Top Recruits and Team Tampa, advance to the IMG National 7-on-7 Tournament, which is scheduled for late June, although the date is not finalized.
Once teams became overly aware of Lane's skills, White began to pick apart defenses to his plethora of options.
"It was great because no matter what, there was usually a mismatch that I could attack because we have so many good receivers. It's tough for the defense to guard all of them," White said. "It was a lot of fun, just going out against some of the best competition in the whole Southeast. It was great to get the win and it's great to compete and just get better out here."
In the early stages, it was obvious that lane was the cream of the crop, as he ran deep patterns and crossing routes at will, flashing his 6-foot-3 target for White's keen accuracy. White didn't miss much. Lane had hope to carry the load even more as the title round drew closer, but he was good with his teammates picking up the opportunities that were presented.
"I didn't do what I came here to do, but I think I did pretty good overall," Lane said. "Everybody was trying to double stick me so some of the other guys were open."
Florida Fire quarterback Quinton "Winky" Flowers had his squad rolling early, and the loss to the Express in the first championship game was the first of the weekend. The loss zapped the Fire momentum, however.
Where Express quarterback White appeared to get better and more crisp as the day went on, Flowers and his squad looked a bit more fatigued.
Top Players, IMG SE Regional 7-on-7
Sean White, South Florida Express Elite, Davie University School — White showed poise all weekend, and made great use of an abundant amount of talent at wide receiver. He was spot-on with touch passes as well as on deep routes and balls in which he had to thread into an area.
Quinton "Winky Flowers, Florida Fire, Miami Jackson — Winky is constantly told he should be playing another position and the 5-foot-11 isn't listening. He has great arm strength but this weekend proved he has the leadership qualities and touch on his passes that can do wonders for his recruitment. He got a little tired and careless on Sunday, but it was a long weekend.
Deondre Francois, Central Florida Top Recruits, Orlando Olympia — If Francois wasn't a sophomore, he'd have been the talk of the tourney, and maybe he still should have been. His poise in the 4-second drop-back, which is the 7-on-7 time allotted before a sack is signaled, was unmatched. He was comfortable looking all over the field and bailed nicely to his lower targets out of necessity. His ability to put the ball in a spot was incredible, however, and might be his best attribute. He has a rocket arm and can sling a ball into any tight crevice, leaving DBs baffled.
Other QBs who performed well: Chase Litton, Team Tampa, Tampa Wharton; Bud Martin, South Florida Blur, Fort Lauderdale Dillard; Brad Mayes, Team Tampa Too, Tampa Berkeley Prep; Deiondre Porter, Unsigned Preps, Tampa Jefferson.
Ermon Lane, South Florida Express Elite, Homestead — Lane was his usual self, stretching the field when he could — which was whenever he wanted — and also cutting back on shorter routes and even curling back to help as White drew closer to the four-second count. He has speed to separate, strength to compete in traffic, hands that catch footballs and 6-foot-3 height to always be open over the top.
Sam Bruce, South Florida Express Elite, Davie University School — For Bruce, 'The Future' is now. He was all over the place, especially on Sunday as SFE receivers would get bottled up, out would emerge little 5-foot-7, 160-pound Bruce and White would hit him. All the kid did all weekend long was get open. No one could contain him and it seemed the only thing that slowed him down was congestion of all 13 players in the same area as the team got closer to the goal line. He is indeed a player we'll be hearing plenty about over the next three years.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A former assistant dean at the University of Louisville Brandeis Law School will face a judge on a criminal charge. He's accused of awarding scholarships not authorized by the university.
Brandon Hamilton worked for the University of Louisville for a decade, spending four years at the Brandeis School of Law, but the former assistant dean is in hot water.
Prosecutors said Brandon Hamilton nearly quadrupled scholarship money without permission; something the interim dean discovered on her sixth day on the job.
"I ran the numbers and realized we definitely had over awarded what the budget was for," said Susan Duncan, Brandeis School of Law Interim Dean.
Hamilton, who resigned, accessed the school's computer network without approval and promised incoming law students millions of dollars in scholarships. The internal UofL audit goes on to state the school had a budget of $550,000 for first year law students for Fall 2012. Instead, Hamilton allegedly made offers hitting $1.3 million for the first year; more than $2.4 million in excess of the budget over three years.
"He's actually out of state. He's in Portland," said prosecutor James Lesousky.
Hamilton's court case was continued to next week, facing a charge of "unlawful access to a computer." The audit states that signatures of the faculty chair may have been forged, university records destroyed and the computer system manipulated. He's currently the Director of Admission for the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland.
The school maintained their promise to the 104 students.
"I thought it was important to honor every scholarship commitment we made and that's what we've done," said Duncan.
But they have to fund-raise to make up for the shortfall. They'll use endowment money and rainy day funds for the loss. Duncan called for an action plan with the finance department and school president to make sure this never happens again.
"We have better control over who can do the scholarships, when they should be given out and how we do fee waivers," said Duncan.
Hamilton is due in court July 22. UofL says they have never heard a motive behind the crime.

A Grammy Award winner for best pop instrumental recording, Cullen has performed in a wide range of styles including classical, jazz, and world music with such artists as Will Ackerman, Samite, Michael Manring, Victor Wooten, The Jaco Big Band, and with members of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Featured on the Windham Hill Guitar Sampler and other Windham Hill compilation CDs, he will be a featured soloist in the 2006-07 Windham Hill 30th Anniversary Winter Solstice Concerts. Cullen also has released two books through Warner Brothers Publications: Jazz, Classical and Beyond and Grateful Guitar, as well as nine CDs for the acoustic guitar label Solid Air Records.
Formed in 1964 by Allen Flock, the Bucknell University Concert Chorale is a mixed chorus of students from various fields of study at Bucknell which performs annual programs of secular and sacred music. The ensemble has traveled to numerous states and has performed with the Washington National Symphony Orchestra, the Chorale of Simon Bolivar of Caracas, Venezuela, the Pennsylvania Ballet, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and for the Music Educators' National Conference in Atlantic City.
Future Chorale performances are scheduled for Feb. 25, 2006, in a combined concert with the four Bucknell student a cappella groups; April 21 in concert with Solid Brass as part of the Weis Center 2005-06 concert season; and April 22 in concert with the Bucknell University Symphonic Band to sing Bucknell professor Jackson Hill's composition The New Age.

The campaign included a series of elements to help men become better men. The campaign included the AskMen "Firsts" iPad magazine, which dealt with the "firsts" — from first loves to first cars — that all men experience, and included the personal stories from many men who have become experts in their fields. The campaign also included three offline AskMen Academy events across the United States (NY, LA, CHI), in which a carefully selected set of influencers and tastemakers got to experience both brands and learn about specific subjects — like style and mixology — with experts onsite. AskMen developed three branded video series and a massive branded tentpole feature, The Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2012, which received over 500,000 votes from men worldwide, 1.1 million pageviews on the first day alone and garnered mass media coverage from the likes of Yahoo, Huffington Post, CNN, Entertainment Tonight, and attention from major celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and gold medalist Usain Bolt. The campaign also included a 3 week long A-List newsletter sponsorship and social media placement.

Adult Nonfiction GV850.55.S73 W55 1998
Summary: Scott Hamilton is one of the most beloved figure skaters in the world -- not just among his colleagues, but to the sport's countless fans as well. So when the Olympic gold medalist and four-time World Champion launched his Stars on Ice tour back in 1986, everyone wished him the best. In fact, the best is exactly what he got. Hamilton's Stars on Ice has become the most successful ice skating tour on the planet.In this lively look at figure skating's most remarkable success story, Stars on Ice features full-color illustrations of the graceful skaters who have entertained fans throughout the show's reign. From Dorothy Hamill to Brian Orser, from Katarina Witt to Kristi Yamaguchi, Stars on Ice beautifully displays the talents of Olympic and World Champion skaters through stunningly realistic photography.

text: [Federal Register: March 26, 1996 (Volume 61, Number 59)] [Notices] [Page 13375-13377] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [[Page 13375]] _______________________________________________________________________ Part XIV Department of Education _______________________________________________________________________ Education of Individuals With Disabilities: Personnel Training; Notice [[Page 13376]] DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Training Personnel for the Education of Individuals With Disabilities--Grants for Personnel Training AGENCY: Department of Education. ACTION: Notice of proposed priority. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Secretary proposes a priority for the Training Personnel for the Education of Individuals with Disabilities--Grants for Personnel Training program administered by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The Secretary may use this priority in Fiscal Year 1996 and subsequent years. The Secretary takes this action to focus Federal assistance on identified needs to improve outcomes for children with disabilities. This proposed priority is intended to ensure wide and effective use of program funds. DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 25, 1996. ADDRESSES: All comments concerning the proposed priority should be addressed to: Linda Glidewell, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue SW., Room 3524, Switzer Building, Washington, D.C. 20202-2641. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Brown, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue SW., Room 3522, Switzer Building, Washington, D.C. 20202-2641. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) directs the Secretary to develop and implement a plan for providing outreach services to minority entities and underrepresented populations to assist them in participating more fully in the discretionary programs under the Act (section 610(j)(2)(C)). This proposed priority supports the National Education Goals by improving understanding of how to enable children and youth with disabilities to reach higher levels of academic achievement. The Secretary will announce the final priority in a notice in the Federal Register. The final priority will be determined by responses to this notice, available funds, and other considerations of the Department. Funding of particular projects depends on the availability of funds, the content of the final priority, and the quality of the applications received. Further, the priority could be affected by enactment of legislation reauthorizing this program. The publication of this proposed priority does not preclude the Secretary from proposing additional priorities, nor does it limit the Secretary to funding only this priority, subject to meeting applicable rulemaking requirements. Note: This notice of proposed priority does not solicit applications. A notice inviting applications under this competition will be published in the Federal Register concurrent with or following publication of the notice of final priority. Priority Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), the Secretary proposes to give an absolute preference to applications that meet the following priority. The Secretary proposes to fund under this competition only applications that meet this absolute priority. Proposed Absolute Priority--Outreach Services to Minority Entities to Expand Research Capacity Background The Congress has found that the Federal Government must be responsive to the growing needs of an increasingly diverse society and that a more equitable distribution of resources is essential for the Federal Government to meet its responsibility to provide an equal educational opportunity for all individuals. The Congress has concluded that the opportunity for full participation in awards for grants, cooperative agreements and contracts by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), other institutions of higher education whose minority enrollment is at least 25% (OMIs) and other eligible institutions as defined under section 312 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (OEIs) is essential if we are to obtain greater success in the education of children from diverse backgrounds in special education. This priority focuses on assisting HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs to prepare scholars for careers in research on special education and related services. This preparation shall consist of engaging both faculty and students at HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs in special education research activities. The activities focus on an area of critical emerging need which has material application in today's changing environment and will likely be the subject of future research efforts--the special education of children in urban and high poverty schools with predominantly minority enrollments. By building a cadre of experienced researchers on this important topic, the chances for full participation in awards for grants, cooperative agreements and contracts by HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs will be increased. The association between socioeconomic status and enrollment in special education has been well documented. Available data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS) show that 68% of students in special education live in a household where the income is less than $25,000 per year versus 39% of the general population of youth. The problem of this association is heightened in urban school districts and, to a lesser extent, rural districts. NLTS data reveal that only 34% of students in special education live in suburban school districts compared to 48% of all youth. Data from the Office for Civil Rights indicate that 30% of all inner-city students live in poverty compared to 18% of students in non-inner city areas. Moreover, findings from the National Longitudinal Transition Study indicate that 47% of urban youth with disabilities live in households with an annual income of less than $12,000 (in 1986 dollars) compared to 34% of rural and 19% of suburban youth with disabilities (Valdes et al., 1990). Urban school districts face a variety of challenges in meeting the educational needs of their students. Their schools often have high per student costs and limited financial resources. Their students are disproportionately poor and the population of individuals with limited English proficiency is among the fastest growing populations with special needs in some of these districts. This disproportionate representation of poor children in special education is also likely to be uniquely influenced by culturally diverse and urban settings, posing both opportunities and problems in the provision of special education services. Priority The Assistant Secretary establishes an absolute priority for a project to design and conduct a program of research by individuals who show promise of contributing to the program improvement activities authorized under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Each research activity of the program must implement the Congress' direction in section 610(j)(2) to support outreach activities to HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs to increase their participation in competition for research, demonstration and outreach grants, cooperative agreements and contracts funded under the IDEA. Activities shall include: (1) Conducting research activities at HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs as explained [[Page 13377]] below that link scholars at HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs with researchers at institutions with an established research capacity in a mentoring relationship to develop both individual and institutional research capacity at those HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs with a demonstrated need for capacity development; and (2) Providing linkages between HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs with a demonstrated need for capacity development and institutions with an established research capacity to provide opportunities for researchers at those HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs to develop first hand experience in the grants and contracts application process. All research activities must be conducted for the purpose of capacity building. The research program must include one or more projects that are focused on issues related to improving the delivery of special education services and educational results for children with disabilities in urban and high poverty schools with predominantly minority enrollments. The program must examine the association between minority status and identification for, evaluation for and placement in special education. Other possible research topics may include: (1) Effective intervention strategies that make a difference in the provision of a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE); (2) Practices to promote the successful inclusion of children with disabilities in a least restrictive environment (LRE); (3) Strategies for establishing high expectations for children with disabilities and increasing their participation in the general curriculum provided to all children; (4) Increasing effective parental participation in the educational process, especially for poor parents, minority parents, and parents with limited English proficiency; (5) Effective disciplinary approaches, including behavioral management strategies, for ensuring a safe and disciplined learning environment; (6) The effect of school-wide projects conducted under Title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act on the delivery of special education; or (7) Effective practices for promoting the coordination of special education services with health and social services for children with disabilities and their families. The program shall ensure that findings are communicated in appropriate formats for researchers. The program shall also ensure that if findings are of importance to other audiences, such as teachers, administrators and parents, they are made available to Department of Education's technical assistance, training and dissemination projects for distribution to those audiences. Projects must demonstrate experience and familiarity in research on children with disabilities in urban and high poverty schools with predominantly minority enrollments. The project must also demonstrate experience in capacity development in special education research, as well as a thorough understanding of the strengths and needs of HBCUs, OMIs and OEIs. The project must budget for two trips annually to Washington, DC for: (1) A two-day Research Project Directors' meeting; and (2) an additional meeting to meet and collaborate with the project officer of the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and with other relevant OSEP funded projects. The project must also coordinate activities with the ongoing Policy Research Institute funded by OSEP. Intergovernmental Review This program is subject to the requirements of Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR Part 79. The objective of the Executive order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism by relying on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance. In accordance with the order, this document is intended to provide early notification of the Department's specific plans and actions for this program. Invitation to Comment Interested persons are invited to submit comments and recommendations regarding this proposed priority. All comments submitted in response to this notice will be available for public inspection, during and after the comment period, in Room 3521, 300 C Street SW., Washington, DC, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday of each week except Federal holidays. Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1431. (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number 84.029, Training Personnel for the Education of Individuals with Disabilities Program) Dated: March 20, 1996.

LOS ANGELES — Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) President Werner Braun says California''s AB 2398, Carpet Product Stewardship Bill could "usher in a whole new phase of carpet recycling," according to a press release.
The bill, which was sponsored by Assembly Speaker John A. Perez, (D-Los Angeles) represents new thinking in the area of product stewardship in that it incentivizes carpet recycling by rewarding those entrepreneurs and inventors who produce marketable products made from post-consumer carpet, the release stated.
The bill, which has been passed by both houses of the California Assembly and is awaiting the Governor''s signature, generates revenue through an initial assessment of 5-cents per square yard of carpet sold in California, the release noted.
According to the release, manufacturers — either singly or as a group — will be required to establish a stewardship plan with the state for implementing carpet recycling. Stewardship plans will encompass consumer education efforts, the assessment of fees, and progress measurement and reporting.

A Long Island man is taking matters into his own hands and becoming the unofficial pothole fixer in his neighborhood. However, his Good Samaritan ways are causing some controversy.
Bobby Fitzgerald doesn't work for the Public Works Department, though his "side job" suggests otherwise.
"I start with my bucket, scoop up some dirt...take my broom to clean up and take my shovel and go to the next one," he described.
The 55 year old delivery driver has been filling the potholes in his Levittown, LI neighborhood on his own; fed up, he says, by the slow response to complaints he's made about them.
People are sick and tired...of having their cars torn up..." he explained.
Public works crews have covered Fitzgerald's patch, so clearly he's on their radar.
"I think he's off the mark. He couldn't be more wrong...," said Mike Deery, a Hempstead spokesman.
Deery says using sand, which Fitzgerald does, actually makes the problem worse. As for Fitzgerald himself, FOX asked him what he would do if they asked him to stop.
"They would have to prove to me that they're gonna do something...do it," explained Fitzgerald.

· Job advertisements;
· Recruitment;
· Testing;
· Use of company facilities;
· Training and apprenticeship programs;
· Fringe benefits;
· Pay, retirement plans, and disability leave;
· Other terms and conditions of employment.
Discriminatory practices under these laws also include:
· Harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or age;
· Retaliation against an individual for filing a charge of discrimination, participating in an investigation, or opposing discriminatory practices;
· Employment decisions based on stereotypes or assumptions about the abilities, traits or performances of individuals of a certain sex, race, age, religion, or ethnic group, or individuals with disabilities; and
· Denying employment opportunities to a person because of marriage to, or association with, an individual of a particular race, religion, national origin, or an individual with a disability.
· Title VII also prohibits discrimination because of a participation in schools or places of worship associated with a particular racial, ethnic, or religious group.
Other Discriminatory Practices Under Federal EEO Laws:
Title VII: Prohibits not only intentional discrimination, but also practices that have the effect of discriminating against individuals because of their race, color, national origin, religion or sex.
National Origin Discrimination:
· It is illegal to discriminate against an individual because of birthplace, ancestry, culture, or linguistic characteristics common to a specific ethnic group.
· A rule requiring that employees speak only English on the job may violate Title VII unless an employer shows that the requirement is necessary for conducting business. If the employer believes such a rule is necessary, employees must be informed when English is required and the consequences for violating the rule.
· The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 require employers to assure that employees hired are legally authorized to work in the U.S. However, an employer who requests employment verification only for individuals of a particular national origin, or individuals who appear to be or sound foreign, may violate both Title VII and IRCA: verification must be obtained from all applicants and employees. Employers who impose citizenship requirements or give preferences to U.S. citizens in hiring or employment opportunities also may violate the IRCA.
Religious Accommodation:
An employer is required to reasonably accommodate the religious belief of an employee or prospective employee, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship.
Sex Discrimination:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII's broad prohibitions against sex discrimination specifically
· Sexual Harassment - This includes practices ranging from direct requests for sexual favors to workplace conditions that create a hostile environment for persons of either gender, including same sex harassment.
· Pregnancy Based Discrimination – Pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions must be treated in the same way as other temporary illnesses or conditions.
Age Discrimination in Employment Act:
Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The ADEA's broad ban against age discrimination also
specifically prohibits:
· Statements or specifications in job notices or advertisements of age preference and limitations. An age limit may only be specified in the rare circumstance where age has been proven to be a bona fide occupational qualification;
· Discrimination on the basis of age by apprenticeship programs; including joint labor-management apprenticeship programs; and
· Denial of benefits to older employees. An employer may reduce benefits based on age only if the cost of providing the reduced benefits to older workers is the same as the cost of providing benefits to younger workers.
Equal Pay Act:
The Equal Pay Act (EPA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in the payment of wages or benefits, where men and women perform work of similar skill, effort, and responsibility for the same employer under similar working conditions.
Titles I and V of the Americans with Disabilities Act:
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in all employment practices. It is necessary to understand several important ADA definitions to know who is protected by the law and what constitutes illegal discrimination:
· Individual with a Disability – An individual with a disability under the ADA is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment. Major life activities are activities that an average person can perform with little or no difficulty such as walking, breathing, seeing, hearing, speaking, learning, and working.
· Qualified Individual with a Disability – A qualified employee or applicant with a disability is someone who satisfies skill, experience, education, and other job-related requirements of the position held or desired, and who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of that position.
· Reasonable Accommodation – Reasonable accommodation may include, but is not limited to, making existing facilities used by employees readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities; job restructuring; modification of work schedules; providing additional unpaid leave; reassignment to a vacant position; acquiring or modifying equipment or devices; adjusting or modifying examinations, training materials, or policies; and providing qualified readers or interpreters. Reasonable accommodation may be necessary to apply for a job, to perform job functions, or to enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment that are enjoyed by people without disabilities. An employer is not required to lower production standards to make an accommodation. An employer generally is not obligated to provide personal use items such as eyeglasses or hearing aids.
· Undue Hardship – An employer is required to make a reasonable accommodation to a qualified individual with a disability unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the employer's business. Undue hardship means an action that requires significant difficulty or expense when considered in relation to factors such as a business' size, financial resources, and the nature and structure of its operation.
Prohibited Inquires and Examinations:
Before making an offer of employment, an employer may not ask job applicants about the existence, nature, or severity of a disability. Applicants may be asked about their ability to perform job functions. A job offer may be conditioned on the results of a medical examination, but only if the examination is required for all entering employees in the same job category. Medical examinations of employees must be job-related and consistent with business necessity.
Drug and Alcohol Use:
Employees and applicants currently engaging in the illegal use of drugs are not protected by the ADA when an employer acts on the basis of such use. Tests for illegal use of drugs are not considered medical examinations and, therefore, are not subject to the ADA's restrictions on medical examinations. Employers may hold individuals who are illegally using drugs and individuals with alcoholism to the same standards of performance as other employees.

What are the opportunities in field of physics or mathematics?
I want to become a scientist in field of maths or physics so what are the degrees that i should have to become a scientist. Please comment.
Jul 3 2012: i would recommend to follow some online courses to find out what is your interest. for example there is a fascinating lecture series by leonard susskind, you can find them on youtube. look for "stanford lecture modern physics". topics include cosmology, quantum mechanics and general relativity. this is for theoretical physics.
if you are more into applied sciences, i would say the most "hot" topic is material science, like nanotechnology, superconductivity, metamaterials, biomimicry. i don't know good source material for these, but wikipedia can be a good starting point. about biomimicry, you can listen to the TED talks of janine benyus:
Stewart Gault 30+
Jul 3 2012: There are many fields of science that prepare people to work in those areas, and while in math people typically get degrees in either math or applied math, there are areas of specialty within those.
You may get your most satisfying answer not from a discussion board but rather from looking at the degrees in science and math offered by major universities. this information is available online.
I don't know what the major universities are you would consider, but that's where to look.
Jul 4 2012: An important thing to keep in mind is that fields like physics and engineering are going to be much more likely avenues for discovery/invention of something practical or useful. The realms of math while fascinating are often places where the new discovery often does not have a real-world application. Sometimes that comes later, but sometimes it never comes.
The first step would be to take a couple of classes in both physics and math, and see for yourself if you tend to find it more engaging to do math when you have a clear sense of whether you enjoy math for its own sake or for the sake of what it lets you accomplish/understand about other things.
Jul 4 2012: My main objective is to discover something is new in field of Math but I'm scared because I think that there is not well scope for mathematicians.
We got to hear about Tesla, Albert Enstien, Newton all were associated with physics I don't want to become famous but I want to develop or create something new in the field. I chose Physics because it have a good scope in research. And it include Math too.
I don't know what to particularly say about it I'm not at all experienced I'm only 15 just want to know so that I can concentrate on my goal. Just confused so suggest me.

Consumers Buy Products, Not Brands: How This Should Change Your Advertising
August 6, 2014 Leave a comment
"Whenever you can, make the product itself the hero of your advertising."
– David Ogilvy, Ogilvy on Advertising
We live in a grand age of "brand advertising" – where most ad agencies believe that their role is to build brand by directly advertising the brand. Except they're wrong at so many levels. But their error starts by ignoring a critical truth:
There are far more advertising options for building a brand than so-called "brand advertising".
Quite often, these options end up building stronger brand, faster and at less cost.

Laurieann Gibson, perhaps best known to pop fans as Lady Gaga's genius pre-ARTPOP choreographer, has signed a record deal with Justin Timberlake's manager Johnny Wright and reinvented herself as Harlee. The 44-year-old even filmed an eye-popping video (above) to herald her arrival on the music scene but can she actually sing?
There's not enough evidence to give an accurate answer to that question but Laurieann/Harlee can definitely hold a tune. She released a single in 2012 called "Last Chance" (it turned out to be an inaccurate title) that was a commercial failure but absolutely enjoyable in a generic dance-pop kind of way. All in all, there's cause to the cautiously optimistic about the newest diva on the block.
Does Harlee have what it takes to be a pop star? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Internet coupons are essential for every shopper looking to squeeze every dime out of their purchases. Coupled with paper coupons and stacked on top of weekly sales, they'll save you a fortune.
But Internet coupons are also risky.
For every legitimate coupon in cyber-space, there are dozens of counterfeit ones that aren't worth their pixels.
Donna Montaldo manages the coupon and bargains page of the consumer advice site About.com. She shared these suggestions for "clipping" real Internet coupons with consumer resource magazine Bottom Line Secrets:
* VISIT LEGITIMATE COUPON SITES. Of course, About.com's coupon page (click the link above) is one. So is TheGroceryGame.com, which requires a subscription.
* VISIT PRODUCT MANUFACTURER SITES. Surf the sites of the companies which make your favorite products. Look for tabs like Deals, Promotions, Coupons or Savings. That's where you'll find the manufacturers' exclusive web coupons.
* GOOGLE THE PRODUCT'S NAME WITH THE WORD "COUPON." Bingo! You just might find a real web coupon for that product.
* KNOW THE TYPES OF INTERNET COUPONS. There are coupon codes, where you jot down the code, then type it into the site to redeem it. Link promotions on legitimate sites prompt you to click a link to reach a secure page where you make the discounted purchase. Printable Internet coupons are the ones you simply print right off the manufacturer's site or coupon site.
A word of warning -- even legitimate coupon sites may ask you to download software in order to score the coupons. Be careful! Sometimes that software is spyware, designed to follow how and what you shop.
Look for the site's privacy policy or contact the folks behind the site before you commit.

"I used these on the Valentine's my daughter took to school for her friends. They were great. I sealed all her little gift bags with the sticker. It made things so easy and adorable. They are darling!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I ordered these w/the phrase, "Bring Pampers for a chance to be pampered!", as an incentive for my guests to bring a pack of diapers along w/their gift for a chance to be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate to a local nail spa. It was the perfect finishing touch!"
"I loved the design of the card. I love the quality of the paper, very sturdy. Because of the glittery "look" on the card, I think I sort of expected to see some real glitter on the card...obviously that wasn't the case. I'm not disappointed though, really love it for my sister's shower. The mailing was a pain, only because I bought these right when postage increased and the post office didn't have the new 70c stamps that go with the square cards, so I had to put three stamps on there."
"Great idea for favor size boxes, treat bags, candy buffet labels. Going to order more for other ideas for my daughters shower."

Musically, the trio that comprises Gary's Number 1 Playaz span generations of hip-hop when it comes to musical influence.
Playo, one third of the Playas, cited everyone from LL Cool J and Too Short to Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur as influences on the music they create.
Master–P and Too Short also top Playo's list of inspirations, but for more than their past creative accomplishments.
"I like the artists who made something out of nothing and doing it independently first," he said. "Master–P was selling CDs out of his trunk like we do now. Too Short was selling cassette tapes back when they had cassette tapes, and look how far it took them. The people who made smart business decisions and weren't one-hit wonders, I look up to people like that."
Celebrating their latest effort, "Put Us in the Game," with a release party at Gary's Prestige Night Club, Playaz was formed by Playo (born Jerry Haymon Jr) and his brother, O–Dogg (Orlando Haymon), more than a decade ago after crossing paths with Hammond's T–Turner (born Antonio Turner).
In 2003, Playaz put out their first effort, "Can You Relate," and in the following years have released a handful of sets, both collectively and individually. They have also shared stages with Soulja Boy, Royce Da 5'9 and Wiz Khalifa.
Controlling their own musical destiny via their P.O.T.O.T.G. Records, Playaz are set to release their latest mix tape, "Game," on Sept. 9. Additionally, the trio are working on what will be a proper collection of original material, "Go National."
According to O–Dogg, the titles of their forthcoming efforts both speak for themselves and will also, if all goes as planned, put Gary on the national hip–hop map.
"What the mainstream is missing is the truth," he said. "I think a lot of rappers in the mainstream kind of mislead their audience. They tell them, 'Go do this and this, go sell drugs' like they're actually selling drugs, and we all know they're not selling drugs. They're performing. They're doing shows. They're recording. What we'll be bringing to the game is more of the truth."
At Prestige for their release party, Playaz will be joined by the nationally renowned DJ Smalls. But following the festivities, the trio have nothing but work on their collective plate.
"For the remainder of the year, it's just work," O–Dogg said. "It's content, videos, attacking the Internet. It's about building the fan base so wide that when it is time to drop the album, it'll all work for us."
