Let's see...a bit about me...
I'm a 25 year old masters student completing an MA in Cinema Studies. I live in Cincinnati, OH at present having just moved from Savannah Georgia. Before that I got my BFA in Electronic Media and worked as an assistant editor for an internationally broadcast music video program. Currently I am unemployed and on disability due to the removal of a rare yet very large tumor (called a desmoid) from my left side. Recovery is going well but still very slowly.
Also I think Tom was destined to be my first doctor because on the day I celebrated my second birthday, Tom married his current wife Sue. Therefore, their anniversary is quite easy for me to remember.

Benefits for Postdoctoral FellowsNote: Some pages will open in a new browser window. MD Anderson does not endorse external sites.
The following is a brief summary of the benefits that may be available to trainees at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. A more detailed description of the benefits is available through the MD Anderson Benefits Office. To obtain eligibility information, please contact the Office of Trainee and Alumni Affairs at (713) 792-2696.
Vacation and Sick Leave
An allocation for time off is given to postdoctoral fellows at the start of their appointment. A full-time one-year appointment will provide 120 hours vacation and 80 hours sick leave. The allocated hours are reduced according to the length of the appointment.
Trainees' annual leave does not automatically carry over from one appointment year to the next. Rather, it is based on a use-it-or-lose-it policy. Should laboratory coverage be such that a trainee is unable to use the time during the appointment year, a mechanism exists to allow the request of carry over time. Trainees are not paid for accumulated annual or sick leave at the time of separation.
Insurance benefits are available to persons holding educational appointments for a period of at least four and one half months and who receive a stipend. Insurance benefits for postdoctoral fellows are the same benefits as those available to classified employees.
The health insurance plan offered by The University of Texas System is UT Select, a preferred provide organization (PPO) plan, administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas. The plan, which is effective the first calendar day of the month following the date of employment, is free of cost to the trainee.
Dental insurance is optional: there are two plans from which to choose. Both plans require payroll deductions.
Optional insurances are available, i.e., term life ($10,000 coverage free of cost to trainee), personal accident insurance ($10,000 coverage free of cost to trainee), long-term disability insurance, long-term care insurance and vision insurance.
Dependent coverage is available, at cost, with health, dental, term life, accident and vision.
Other Benefits
Teacher Retirement System (TRS)
Postdoctoral fellows are required to participate in the TRS. A monthly deduction is withheld, but this may be returned (minus the tax penalty) or rolled over into another retirement fund at the conclusion of the appointment. Graduate research assistants are not allowed to participate in TRS.
Tax Sheltered Annuities
Trainees are allowed to make a tax-deferred monthly contribution towards an optional retirement plan.
A tax-free reimbursement account for medical expenses and dependent care allows trainees to deposit a portion of their stipend prior to taxation into flexible spending accounts.
Tuition Reimbursement
Most individuals holding educational appointments are not eligible for tuition reimbursement through the reimbursement plan administered by Human Resources. In most instances, trainees are expected to support the cost of their tuition. An exception is permitted for those individuals whose stipends are supported by training grants or designated scholarships.
Postdoctoral fellows are occasionally required to take course work to supplement their training program. These charges may be reimbursed by the program or department and would be paid from departmental funds. Reimbursements are handled via check requests submitted by the department to the Office of Trainee and Alumni Affairs. After verification and approval, the requests are forwarded to Fiscal Services for payment. Under no circumstances will an individual be reimbursed for a late registration fee.
Relocation Assistance
Individuals holding educational appointments are not eligible for the relocation expense program administered by Human Resources for classified employees nor does the Office of Trainee and Alumni Affairs provide any relocation assistance to educational trainees. Funding departments do have the option to provide relocation assistance to educational trainees. Departments that wish to provide relocation assistance may only use company 3 or company 8 funds.

Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate
In stock | Usually dispatched within 24 hours
Order before 9pm for same day dispatch. Order before 2pm on Sunday.
HMB (Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate) is a metabolite of the branch chain amino acid Leucine.
As an amino acid this can be beneficial in the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
This can be used by athletes or regular gym goers to help optimise recovery and training goals.
As a dietary supplement we recommend consuming 1g, 3 times daily evenly spread throughout the day for the best results.
Add just over half of an MP small scoop (1g) to your preferred amount of water or fruit juice and consume immediately.
1 x level MP Plastic Scoop (small) weighs 1.8g.
This product is 100% HMB with nothing added or taken away.
- (21 / Sep / 2014)
I've just received my 500g. bag of it and after workout I had my 1st tasty shake of HMB . I thought that it will be plastic scoop in the bag but i couldn't find one or do I need to get one other wise I can't measure exactly a gram?
Horribly effective!
- (30 / Apr / 2014)
HMB is something that will be a steady in my supplement stack forever. Not for the taste. The taste i horrible! But it works! 2 weeks in and i stopped getting doms. Stopped completely. So far i've suffered badly from doms, even after the smallest of workouts. But once HMB is in my system it just stops. One of my favorite products.Goes Well With:Anything you can get down fast
- (05 / Nov / 2013)
Massive benefits from taking this supplement. Suffered a lot from DOMS beforehand. Been taking this for 1 month now, a lot less DOMS post workout. Have also noticed that my strength is increasing faster than beforehand. Possibly due to less catabolism whilst training a 3 day split (limited recovery).
Would recommend.
- (17 / Sep / 2013)
HMB is a pretty good product, but to be honest, the taste is terrible. I'm not a choosey guy, but if I compare this to the unflavored BCAA, than BCAA tastes much better. Goes Well With:Any flavoured products
- (26 / Aug / 2013)
Already had decent gains after 2 weeks of using HMB. Gonna double my usage and see what results I getGoes Well With:Amino acids & whey protein
- (12 / Aug / 2013)
Started taking it along with BCAAs a week ago after 12 weeks of cutting. I stalled for 2 weeks and when I started taking it along with BCAAs and my weight started dropping again. I don't know if it's because of the HMB and BCAA, but there is some good research on it that proves that it may help when cutting.Goes Well With:BCAAs
- (25 / Jun / 2013)
HMB is a great product, best gains too.
Helps with DOMS
- (20 / Jun / 2013)
I've been using this HMB for a couple of weeks now and I have definitely noticed a big improvement with DOMS.
Usually after a heavy leg session, I could barely walk for two days. Since taking the HMB 3 times a day, the DOMS are all but gone. There's still a "Good Ache" a few days after but nothing like the pain I used to get.
It could be that I'm getting used to the heavy training, but I suspect the HMB is doing its magic.Goes Well With:Fruit Juice
- (17 / Jun / 2013)
HMB is an excellent product and excellent delivery!
Seems to work well
- (14 / Jun / 2013)
My regime (exercise and calorie intake) has pretty much stayed the same over the last month apart from using HMB (3times per day as instructed), and I'd say I've noticed more muscle and less fat on me. I'm a hard gainer and this has impressed me so far.Goes Well With:instant oats, unflavored whey and creatine mono
- (09 / Apr / 2013)
HMB is a brilliant and worthy product, especially for the price.
Even when mixed with water alone I'd still say it's very close to tasteless, however when mixed with juice it's not tasteless at all. It mixes very well in a shaker. I haven't been using it quite long enough yet to comment on effectiveness yet but all in all, it's a great product!Goes Well With:Water/juice/whey!
Mix with post shakes
Andre A
- (21 / Mar / 2013)
My protein shakes that I take during the Day consist of just one scoop of protein with 50/50 milk and water. However pre/mid/post workout shakes I mix them with all kinds of stuff. I mix HMB with a mid and post workout shake. It is a very fine dust is the only issue, just be aware.

I use this product first thing in the morning with my pre workout ,once I finish my workout, and at night time (with casein).
As I have only just started using it it is too early to see results although I have noticed a slight decrease in my bodyfatGoes Well With:beta alaine, glutamine, creatine & water fruit juice
Great supplement
- (09 / Mar / 2013)
HMB is a brilliant supplement! I've been taking it for 2 weeks and have been able to add 10kg to my bench and 5kg to a shoulder press. Very impressed. Would recommend for those looking to build strength.
- (06 / Mar / 2013)
After taking this product for 2 weeks I do feel a lot fuller and pumped up, which is a great feeling. The one downside is that the taste is horrendous, but if you take it with a fruit juice it's not that bad. Would definitely recommend trying it.
- (06 / Mar / 2013)
- Taste is the worst I have ever had but you get used to it. Just stand by the sink the first time you try it - I warned you.
- Only way to mix it in is to put in the shaker and go nuts.
- Early days yet, but can help when taken pre and post workout. As well as morning and night.
- Fairly well priced supplement but not an essential one.
Goes Well With: Glutamine.

I just got my order of HMB today. I'm going to try 10g a day and I'll let you know the outcome. One thing I can say for sure is it smells strange.
Ashley Moore
- (17 / Dec / 2011)
"Ok got my 250g pack today and just want to post my quick pre-review of my first impressesions. Smell / Taste is not the best the only way to describe it is ""Feet"" haha you'll see when you open yours. Its an ultra fine power to watch out when you open your pack it will go everywhere! Will post a review in few weeks on the acutal restuls :)"

"Been taking this for 2 weeks now. Havent really had any gains from it. I take this along with protein and carbs. Then zinc & mag at night. Havent gained anything in the way of strength. Also a recent study shows that hmb can lower protein metabolism in the body. Therefore reducing lean gains. From trying this stuff out im starting to think that may be true. Anyway, i love the products by myprotein."
john cayzer
- (14 / Feb / 2011)
"this stuff is cool, the taste is no way ass bad as some acids iv had so for me its easy to take with water but if you not had anything like this just stick it in with you whey drink and its fine"
Daniel Kalyan
- (18 / Jan / 2011)
"Tastes awful but it works if you know how and when to take it. Best taken as a small shot with fruit juice and necked quickly. I read about this for many years and most reviews are negative. I read that for it to be effective you need to be taking at least 10g per day or not bother, which means buy the 500g pack. I have noticed a big increase in size buy taking 10 grams around 8pm. I train in the gym everyday around 3 - 4:30pm. It is claimed it is only anti catabolic so I was expecting similar results to Micelar casein however I have noticed a big increase in size, endurance, decrease in bodyfat but not any strength gains yet. I have been taking for 2 weeks. it is suggested to ideally take 5 grams 3 times per day so 15grams in total for optimum results. So morning afternoon and evening."

"i have used HMB and i can say that this product is a great product, a miracle i say. i have previously worked out my muscle and have ended up resting for a week minimum because they hurt alot. I take 2.5-3 grams of hmb 3 times a day in my shake and they work great to improve recoverly. For best results take it with your pre-workout shake and in your bedtime shake which should be made from casein."
- (01 / Oct / 2010)
"I like this stuff. It has increased my strength by around 7% over a 2 month period. Don't expect miracles, some reviews talk of massive increases in strength and size! Maybe - but I think not. If your brand new to training then maybe this would explain such gains as your strength increases rapidly from a new start before leveling out. HMB would be the top of the tree in all stores and on all websites if it was providing 20% increase's in strength! plus every pro athlete on earth would be taking it - in fact, it would already be a banned substance. Back to reality - It is however in my top 3 - It will give you modest gains if used correctly. As with all my powders I just eat this stuff straight from the bag and swig it down with some juice - its the harshest tasting popular supplement there is so it really taints any drink you put it into - just get it down ya! "

"I Totally agree with Andrew, This is my first review and HMB do work!! I have taken this every day with Isolated whey protein and have notice big result in terms of Strength and have gained 1stone in mass. I train 5 times a week with 2 days with CV work...and have gained approx 15% in strength and fast recovery!!! Prior to My protein i was using Maxi-muscle cyclone and didn't notice much result (guess they only use small amount of hmb). HMB do work!!"

"You know when you read those 'reviews' the ones that say things like *miracle product* *you won't believe the gains* and one of the best I've read *stamina in the gym...and the bedroom*....you end up buying the product and 'hope' it makes a difference. Well...this does. I have changed nothing. my routine, my diet,protien/carbs intake, my life....nothing. But I have used HMB for a month. Each and every week of that month my bench press has increased. I'm lifting 10kg more for 5-6 reps than I was a month ago. After no change for over 4 months. My chest is fuller. My deltoids have a nice tear drop shape like I've never seen before. It can only be the HMB. Pleeeease buy this product. Its as close to a miricle product as you'll get....But you'll still have to work hard ;)"
- (24 / Apr / 2010)
"Good product, does what it says."
- (18 / Apr / 2010)
"Ok, so if you're looking for something that mixes well and tastes good...then this isn't your thing..HOWEVER, if you want something that will cut down recovery time, improve well-being (when training intensively) and boost gains...take it. Make sure to have it in small doses administered periodically throughout the day though"
- (30 / Mar / 2010)
I buy the 500g bag and it lasts for ages - brilliant value compared to what other companies knock this stuff out for - HMB is not cheap to produce. Brilliant again by MP. For all you taste freaks out there this tastes rank - stick in your shake and it cures that.
- (01 / Feb / 2010)
"I have been using this for several months, and i have recently tried a 3-4 week period off. I noticed a HUGE increase in recovery time, especially after heavy sessions. One of the best supplements around."
Great product
- (22 / Jan / 2010)
I have been combining this with protien as well as Creatine EE HCL. I have noticed a massive difference in the gym (and in front of the mirror!) lol.
- (12 / Jan / 2010)
"Been using this with MP creatine.good gains and strength. Ok taste mixes well. GREAT price, another GREAT product from MP. Go buy some"
My review
- (09 / Jan / 2010)
"I've now been taking hmb for 7 weeks ,it arrived 3 days after ordering it. I've been taking it alongside creatine monohydrate and while I was sticking to my diet i started getting ripped within 4-7 days noticable difference,but the last 3 weeks over christmas i've stayed the same because i've ate like c*ap. But my strenght has improved alot over the full 7 weeks but thats proberly due to the monohydrate. I recommend it but only if your going to eat sensibly."
MP Wins
- (10 / Dec / 2009)
As a review of HMB itself it is ok - it wont replace hard work and a good diet but it will reduce recovery time and breakdown a bit. As a review of MP - excellent the product in it's most basic form at the most competetive price with the least sci fi bullsh1t - well done. Taste - come on - any medicine that works has to taste bad.
1st time buyer
- (09 / Sep / 2009)
"I'm a first time buyer on this site & ordered this HMB and creatine on Sat 5th Sept 09 and it came on Tues 8th Sept so good shipping(i went for the cheapest to see how long it would take) will let you all know how it goes and everyone says the HMB has bad taste, It's not bad to be honest you can hardly taste anything and creatine is taste free good good!!"
- (24 / Jul / 2009)
you get used to the taste and this is dead cheap compared to what ther companies knock this out for - good stuff
- (26 / May / 2009)
"wots the best time to take hmb if i train 1st thing in mornin?i train a 9 so have cnp pro gf nox with 20 grams of unflavoured whey all mixed together 45mins b4 workout then hav 1st hmb in my cnp pro recover after worout then hav nxt hmb bout 4ish in my mp meal replacement then my last dose b4 bed in mp meal replacement again,evry site says diferent ways and diferent doses to take!help!"
The taste
- (08 / May / 2009)
"OK, This stuff tastes vial no way around that. If you can keep it down mixed with water you are a better man than me. I have found that mixing it in with a protein shake works well. Mixing with grape or orange juice also works but you still get the after tatse in your mouth. Just tried the berry blast that is designed for this and it works wonders. A worthy investment unless you like gagging. Lasts for ever and well worth the money"
Good product
- (22 / Apr / 2009)
Have been taking this product for a few weeks now and am pleased with the results. My recovery times are great and i have more lean muscle. Seems to have improved my anaerobic endurance. The only problem is the taste
Great Stuff!
- (27 / Feb / 2009)
"I've been using HMB for a while and it seems to last me forever! Fast recovery and very little DOMS, as well as retained mass when cutting are some of the benefits I have experienced. \n\nI do wish the packaging was a little better though, mine came with some powder sealed in the top section which spilt out when I opened it."
Perfect to stop muscle breakdown!
- (30 / Jun / 2008)
"i brought it as a friend said it's great during a 'cut' as i always tend to lose mass aswell as fat, so i tried it, and it dramatically lowered/stopped breakdown, and i seen some strength gains when i used it when in a 'bulk' phase as well! just ordered more!"
OK so far.....
- (23 / Mar / 2008)
Been taking HMB three times each day for a couple of weeks and cannot really tell if it is doing anything yet. Tastes OK when mixed with either Impact Whey or Bedtime. The one thing I have noticed is that my fingernails appear to be growing quicker...\nIt is pretty cheap so I will continue taking it for a couple of months to see what happens.
Man up!!
- (15 / Feb / 2008)
"I have been using MP HMB for a few weeks now and along with CEE, whey and BCAA's, I am making damn good progress! I don't understand why so many people are moaning like little girls about the taste? Just spoon a bit in your mouth and wash it back with some quality H2O. Simple! It really annoys me when people moan about the taste when MP products are so reasonably price and are of extremely good quality! They are supplements designed to enhance your performance...not appease your taste buds! I will rant no more! Good stuff and I am reaping the rewards. Thanks MP"
Smells like paint!
- (23 / Feb / 2007)
"Got some the other day with great service from MP. It smells like White Gloss paint which is pretty weird but doesn't taste too bad (definately not as bad as Creatine Ethyl Ester). You need to give it a good stir to get it to mix though. Only been on the stuff for a couple of days so cant comment on the effects just yet. However, after researching the product I would say it is definately worth trying it out."

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The FBI has arrested four people in connection with a $2 million telemarketing timeshare fraud scheme.
From October 2009 through April of 2011, the group engaged in fraudulent and deceptive business tactics associated with several telemarketing businesses based in Green Bay. They include, National Timeshare Resales, Integrated Advertising Solutions, Administrative Timeshare Resales, and Midwest Timeshares.
All were owned or operated by the suspects.
Those arrested include 39-year-old Mark Parks of New London, 28-year-old Ashley Contant of Bellevue, 34-year-old Mindy Parks of Brussels, and 51-year-old Eileen Goltz of Port Charlotte, FL.
According to a press release, telemarketers employed by the timeshare companies would contact timeshare owners to inquire whether they were interested in selling their timeshares.
In a majority of the cases, the companies lied about finding a buyer and solicited fees ranging from $200 to $2,500, which in total came to over $2 million.

-- Randy Dotinga
TUESDAY, July 19 (HealthDay News) -- Following up on previous
research showing that people who have practiced meditation for a
long time have more gray matter in their brains, a small new study
finds that their brains also shrink less as they age and they have
stronger connections in the brain itself.
This means that brain cells may better relay electrical signals,
researchers said.
"Our results suggest that long-term meditators have white-matter fibers that are either more numerous, more dense or more insulated throughout the brain," study co-author Eileen Luders, a visiting assistant professor at the University of California Los Angeles Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, said in a university news release.
"We also found that the normal age-related decline of white-matter tissue is considerably reduced in active meditation practitioners," she added.
The researchers used technology known as diffusion tensor
imaging to scan the brains of study participants and uncover
differences in structural connectivity. The study included 27
people who practiced meditation styles such as Shamatha, Vipassana
and Zazen for between 5 to 46 years, and 27 other people of the
same age and gender who did not meditate.
The investigators found that the two groups had pronounced
differences in structural connectivity throughout the brain, not
just in one area.
"Meditation . . . might not only cause changes in brain anatomy by inducing growth, but also by preventing reduction," Luders said. "That is, if practiced regularly and over years, meditation may slow down aging-related brain atrophy, perhaps by positively affecting the immune system."
However, "it's possible that meditators might have brains that
are fundamentally different to begin with," Luders pointed out.
"For example, a particular brain anatomy may have drawn an individual to meditation or helped maintain an ongoing practice -- meaning that the enhanced fiber connectivity in meditators constitutes a predisposition towards meditation, rather than being the consequence of the practice," Luders said.
The study findings were released online in advance of
publication in the Aug. 15 print edition of the journal

Customer Reviews
These work great and the on indicator light is a major plus. I use to have a different brand but these are far better since they include amplified hearing. Wish I had purchased a pair of these years ago. Be sure to use good Alkaline batteries because cheap batteries won't even power this device on.
I purchased a similar pair (Guide Gear brand) several years ago that served me well. That pair finally quit working, so I bought these to replace them. They are basically the same item and I am very pleased with them. They were a little tight, but I simply bent the head strap slightly to release some of the tension. They fit fine now. I read some comments on various similar items about not having a "on" indicator light. This item does.
Outstanding! Took them to the range and was amazed. Normal hearing was perfect until any loud noise was made. They even shut out the noise when I closed the bolt! Hope they last forever, but if they don't, they are so affordable, I'll just get anither pair!
I did not get it due to restrictions, when can I get my refund so I can use to buy something else
These works SO good, I bought a second set!!! Never use the 'old style muffs' again!
could of been better

Before You Quit Your Job:
Then this audiobook is for you!
In Before You Quit Your Job Robert shares his successes, but more importantly, he shares his failures and the lessons he has learned from them. This audiobook will give you a jump-start to becoming a successful entrepreneur.
Robert Kiyosaki has been an entrepreneur since he was 9 years old. You may be familiar with some of his million-dollar products:
©2012 Robert Kiyosaki (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"I enjoyed listening to this book. I learned a lot!"
I always prefer the audio version of a book over print / kindle versions. Listening to audiobooks allows me learn while completing daily activities such as driving, showering, cooking, and laundry. It makes those daily routines a valuable leaning experience.
"Doesn't offer much beyond the obvious"
Too long, too much talk about the Board Game
Too much bagging on his poor dad
A bit robotic
I like what he has to say in general but hoping the book had more to offer than what I have heard before.

"Rocket Espresso Machines; Italian Design for the At-Home Barista…"
Rocket Espresso was born in 2007 in Milan, Italy, when the commercial company ECM (Espresso Company Milano) decided to focus on commercial products. Three espresso enthusiasts – Jeff Kennedy, Danielle Berenbruch, and Andrew Meo – decided to "give a new lease on life" to the domestic products ECM had created, starting with the Cellini and the Giotto.
These prosumer machines boast commercial grade features, like lead-free copper boilers, Faema E61 brew-group, No-Burn Stainless Steel Steam Wand, quiet pumps, Sirai pressure stats, and stainless steel and chrome construction while still embodying a classic Italian design that's a style trend-setter in any setting, either the home, retreat or office.

I've said before that what annoys me about the "pro-life" stance is that everyone on the opposite end is implied to be anti-life when, in fact, the RH Bill is nothing but pro better quality of life. The church blindly says sex is for marriage and sex within marriage only for procreation. So here go the ignorant, the uneducated in their dark, cramped shanties having all the sex and all the children. Where is the church when they need to clothe their kids? Feed their babies? Send them to school?
Oh, but no, the church barks down from their high horse of morality and says this is how it should be, not really taking the time to show them, to educate, to guide. Isn't this irresponsibility then, their failing too?
The RH Bill is not a cure - it's only one factor in what should be a multi-part solution. It will provide care and information to those that want it, don't even know they need it, and desperately need it. It will provide relief to the woman who at 28 has 10 children already and choices to the 18 year old who is really not emotionally or mentally prepared to handle a baby if it came. It will make resources available that weren't there before - contraceptive aids and medical help at the grassroots where it counts.
Just like AIDS and HIV, maternal and newborn deaths and complications are preventable. Having 15 children and no means to support them is not cancer. Having a dangerous illegal abortion at 16 is not cancer. These can all be prevented. Shouldn't we do all we can to do that?
To be clear, the RH Bill is not pro-abortion. Here is what it aims to do:
- Prevent pregnancy-related health risks in women: a woman's ability to space and limit her pregnancies has a direct impact on her health and well-being. Family planning allows spacing of pregnancies and can delay pregnancies in young women at increased risk of health problems and death from early childbearing. This reduces maternal mortality.
- Reduce infant mortality: family planning can prevent closely spaced and ill-timed pregnancies and births, which contribute to some of the world's highest infant mortality rates. Infants of mothers who die as a result of giving birth also have a greater risk of death and poor health.
- Help to prevent HIV/AIDS: family planning reduces the risk of unintended pregnancies among women living with HIV, resulting in fewer infected babies and orphans. In addition, male and female condoms provide dual protection against unintended pregnancies and against STIs including HIV.
- Reduce the need for unsafe abortion: by reducing rates of unintended pregnancies, family planning reduces the need for unsafe abortion, which accounts for 13% of global maternal mortality.
- Empower people: family planning enables people to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health.
- Reduce adolescent pregnancies: pregnant adolescents are more likely to have preterm or low birth-weight babies. Babies born to adolescents have higher rates of neonatal mortality. Many adolescent girls who become pregnant have to leave school. This has long-term implications for them as individuals, their families and communities.
- Slow population growth: family planning is key to slowing unsustainable population growth and the resulting negative impacts on the economy, environment, and national and regional development efforts.

cover letter for recruiter?
Quick question to the community. I will be sending my cv to a local recruiter in the near future. Since I am considering an industry change, if a suitable role presents itself, what type of cover letter would I send? Would I send one at all since I am not applying for a specific position? Thanks much for your input.
Never send just a resume
I'd call or visit first. Recruiters see lots of resumes and cover letters and they have match people with many opportunities. You need to make yourself stand out in the crowd as someone they will recommend to a client.
Start with a phone call, discuss what you have to offer and how it matches current and potential opportunities they are recruiting for.
Follow-up with a letter (and 1 page resume) referencing the discussion, hight lighting your key attributes from the discussion and thank them for their time.
Follow-up monthly to keep your name fresh in the recruiter's mind - don't become a pest.
Add value for the recruiter. If they present an opportunity that doesn't fit with you, but fits with (and is of value to) someone in your network, make the connection. Don't just refer them - be the bridge. That last thing you want is a recruiter becoming a nuisance to someone in your network. It can reflect poorly on you.
Good luck with the change.

Not bad but a few flaws

Comments about Nexus Journal Folio:
The NEXUS 7 (2013 2nd gen) tablet cover is OK overall. However, it lacks a hole for the rear camera, and the base unit (with the slots) is a bit flimsy. If I set the tablet on my lap using the case as a stand, the bottom of the case stand bends especially toward the rear of the base. This makes it flimsy to use. The outer edges of the tablet screen where the drop-down status windows are located can be tricky to put the end of my finger on since the case edging comes right to the edge of the screen. Overall, the case is made of good material and I think overcoming some of the "cons" would make it a much better product. I got my case at a substantial sale price, but I would have been greatly disappointed had I paid the full price I had been seeing it sell for on various web sites.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Canon to open tech support center in Albuquerque
Posted at: 10/07/2013 5:43 PM
By: Stuart Dyson, KOB Eyewitness News 4
New jobs are on the way for Albuquerque, thanks to a Fortune 500 company that will set up shop here.
Okay. It's a customer service tech support center. You were hoping for something better, but hang on a second. This is Canon, the international giant of cameras and electronics, and these are 150 new jobs during a recession recovery that's been pretty slow in Albuquerque.
Canon makes cameras mainly, but also scanners and printers and cinema technology – all kinds of electronic stuff. The company employs about 118,000 people and its products are sold all over the world. Right now their main tech support center is in Virginia and it will remain there, but the Albuquerque center will serve the Western states.
State and local government leaders joined Canon executives for the announcement Monday morning.
"Since we've been at one location for 18 years, we had to get it right if we were going to open this Western site," said Doris Higginbotham of Canon Information Technology. "I must tell you that Albuquerque certainly got a check in all the boxes that we had."
City leaders, including Mayor Richard Berry, met with top level Canon people in New York to seal the deal.
"Those relationships are extremely important, for us to actually meet the folks," said Gov. Susana Martinez. "We want to impress them with how Albuquerque is a great place, and that all of New Mexico is a great place for them to bring their businesses."
The tech support center will move into a building in the Jefferson commercial corridor. Hiring is expected to start spring. Company officials declined to discuss pay levels. The state, the city, and Bernalillo County chipped in $200,000 dollars apiece in economic development incentive funds, to help renovate the building.

It's been years since Staff Benda Bilili have gone from living on the streets around the Kinshasa zoo to international acclaim. But in their Boston debut Wednesday night, before 200 appreciative fans in the elegant third-floor theater at the Institute of Contemporary Art, the eight Congolese musicians still kept their presentation raw and rudimentary, dressing in jeans and T-shirts and playing basic instruments. In part, it signals their dedication to urban coolness. (Why else would frontman Theophile Nsituvuidi Nzonza wear shades all night?) But it also clearly showed how they've made artistic lemonade from life's lemons.
The five front vocalists in the group are aging polio victims, four of them paraplegic. At the ICA, they shimmied and spun in wheelchairs, while piercing vocal hype-man Kabose Kabamba Kasongo raised audience members to their feet from his crutches. The group's most powerful instrument was the singers' massed vocals, usually backed by singer Coco Ngambali Yakala's high, thin guitar, and always by the steady, bright burble of the three younger musicians standing behind them: Cavalier Kiara Mayingi on thick and agile bass; Montana Kinunu Ntunu on a patchwork drum kit that included an overturned pot, and Roger Landu Satonage on a self-invented electric lute that buzzed and pierced like an electric guitar filtered through a police radio.

We were doing a full kitchen remodel, keeping only the existing white cabinets. We wanted to add under cabinet lighting but did not want to drill into the cabinets nor did we like the way the strip lighting looked. The Puck LED Under Cabinet Lights from Edge Lighting were the perfect compromise. The lights and cords are all white with a very low profile making them almost invisible beneath the cabinets. They give a great look and hooked up to a dimmer they allow the ability to set the lighting to our preference. We leave the lights on 24 hours a day and they give off no heat or noise just a nice look on our new counter tops!

The National Weather Service earlier Sunday extended a heat advisory through Sunday night for New York City and much of New Jersey because of the combination of high temperatures and humidity.
An excessive heat warning is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like 105 degrees or greater.
Fourth of July weekend is usually a weekend to hit the beach or the pool, but with the extreme heat warning issued for much of the area – many people didn't even want to venture outside.
Some New Yorkers on the Upper East Side having been coping with the excessive heat all day now and it seems everyone in the city is just trying to stay cool.
Sunday was another hot one here in New York City and while some laid out in Central Park, others hid in the shade here Brooklyn's Prospect Park.
"It's crazy weather, it's too hot," said one park goer.
Many New Yorkers also headed to the water. At McCarren Pool in Brooklyn, the lines were long as folks desperately tried to get some relief.
Real feel temps hovered today around 105 degrees and doctors say heat stroke can set in two to three hours.
"If you see someone acting funny who you think is drunk in this type of weather, most likely they're not drunk and it's most likely this is an early heat stroke."
Emergency room doctor Steve Garner tells us that when it gets this hot, he often sees five times as many more patients come in with heat related illnesses.
"You have to drink two bottles of water, which is a lot right? You don't wait until you get thirsty that's another trait. Once you're thirsty -- you're already behind and you are subjecting your lungs and heart to serious consequences," said Dr. Garner.
No matter how much, outdoor water vendor Giovanni Gonzalez, says he drank it just never felt like enough.
"I'm drinking a lot of water, eat some ice."
There were also a lot of kids cooling off at city parks as it was definitely the place to be if this heat wave continues.
Con Edison is reporting several hundred power outages in New York City, mainly in Brooklyn and Queens. There's also been a lot of power outages in Yonkers were about 3,500 customers were without power mostly in the section from McLean Avenue and Bronx River Road all the way to the Cross County -- but their power expected to be restored overnight.
The NYC Office of Emergency Management has air-conditioned cooling centers at senior and community facilities throughout the five boroughs. New Yorkers can call 311 or log on to www.NYC.gov/oem to find the nearest cooling center. Call your local cooling center to confirm hours of operations.
Forecasters say temperatures Sunday evening will drop to the upper 70s with a chance of showers and thunderstorms before midnight.
Slight relief is expected for Monday with temperatures in the high 80s.

Lynchburg, VA - You and your pooch have a chance to show off your skills and have a good time.
There will be all kinds of contests and demos-- like how to clean your dog's ears or trim their nails.
They'll also have all kinds of vendors, games and contests. Our own Noreen Turyn will be a judge for the Dog Show.
"Everything imaginable I mean if you like dogs, you're gonna love this. there's going to be a canine costume contest, there's going to be a dog show where you can do musical matts, you can do hot dog dunk, your dog can do hot dog dunk," said Miriam Fields-Babineau, an organizer.
Dogapalooza is this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.at the Lynchburg Dog Park.
They do ask you only bring dogs that get along well with others, and they must have their license and rabies shot tags.
