One of the interesting things about posting my pictures on Flickr with Creative Commons licensing is where they turn up. This particular image is associated with this response as to whether or not old hard drives are safe to take apart.
Clearly, it's too late for me to be reading that article.
The hard drive pictured, as I recall, was from an original IBM PC/XT and had 10 whopping megabytes on those metal platters. It was plenty under DOS - and it had Windows 3.1 as well as GEM Desktop on it, with various archaic desktop publishing software.
A bit of history. Safe to take apart (and trust me, there's little I haven't).
It's nice to have my images used like this.
In November, 2011, I got my ASUS G74SX-XA1 Republic of Gamers Laptop and was pretty impressed with it. The trouble with first impressions, of course, is that they are only first impressions. Almost 2 evolutions of Moore's Law later, it remains a powerhouse compared to most laptops out there, with it's i7 processor still performing better than most laptops (compare the i7 and the i5).
Until a month ago, I had no problem. Then, for the first time in decades, I managed to spill coffee on the keyboard and found that ASUS support 2 years later is pretty non-existent. One could argue - in fact, when I finally got a hold of someone at ASUS they did argue - that the system was too old for them to support. A replacement keyboard for the system couldn't be found through the ASUS online store. I ended up with a knock-off from China that works well. The laptop remains worth keeping 2 years later because it still outperforms most of the systems on the market, but when it comes to the ASUS Republic of Gamers Laptops, there's something you need to know: You can't expect them to actually have your system hardware off the shelf when you need it.
In fact, it's such a pain that I spent a bit of time looking at replacement systems so that I could continue working. When it comes to the actual support, ASUS isn't very responsive and, really, doesn't care too much after the initial sale. For low dollar systems, I might be more understanding - but the system was/is not (I've seen used systems selling for $700). When it comes time to purchase a new system, based off of my experience in dealing with ASUS in North America, the lack of support for a simple keyboard replacement is something I will not soon forget.
So if you do buy an ASUS Republic of Gamers system, don't expect too much in the way of hardware replacement. In that way, you won't be disappointed.
One of the more silly issues of popularity algorithms is that they do not degrade over time - and it's really simple to fix.
In the context of social media and the internet, the cheap and easy algorithms that people who consider themselves programmers copy and paste into their code, or install as a module or add-on, simply point to things based on statistics on how many views. In some cases, these are prominently displayed on front pages of websites or even in feeds from certain social media sites. It's a red herring - it tells you what has been viewed the most since the items have been posted - but it doesn't tell you what is actually more popular at the moment and what is more popular over time.
As usual, the problem gives away the solution. If a page has so many hits, it could be because of longevity - a well written article can be timeless - but it doesn't mean that it's the most popular, either. What gets the most views per day? That would likely be popular. So rather than popularity being defined by what has been viewed the most (which is almost always inflated by bots!), popularity is defined by what is most viewed per unit time.
Thus, if you can define when things are posted, and you can define what the date is, you suddenly have an idea of how many times something has been viewed over a period of time. However, is it relevant? Relevance degrades over unit time for many items, particularly dated articles that clutter the Internet - but how fast does that relevance degrade? I've seen one Drupal module that attempts to use a sort of 'half-life' argument for relevance - and while it is better than simply counting views, it's a bit too linear for my liking.
So this is what I'm considering (Math notation, not programming notation):
Popularity = (Views/Time) x (1/Time)
Popularity = (Views/Time2)
Popularity = (Views/Time) x (1/Time)
Popularity = (Views/Time2)
That's really not too taxing of an algorithm for a server, is it?
A liberal education forms... a single body. Those, therefore, who from tender years receive instruction in the various forms of learning, recognize the same stamp on all the arts, and an intercourse between all studies, and so they more readily comprehend them all.

William Penn's Carroll - WDEL Male Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene
VIDEO: Interview with Reggie Carroll
William Penn running back Reggie Carroll is this week's M&T Bank WDEL Male High School Athlete of the Week.
The junior rushed for over 300 yards in the Colonials' loss to Caesar Rodney in the DIAA Division I Football Quarterfinals Saturday night.
A big game-changer for his team was a 73-yard run when Reggie ran over a few Riders on his way to the end zone. I asked Carroll what's the key to a long run.
"You have to be conditioned. In the beginning of the season I remember running by the end with 20 yards left you feel the pain in your legs. By the end of the season I could run it all the way."
William Penn cut a 28-point deficit down to 8 before the Riders pulled away, and Carroll says it was tough for his teammates who were playing their last game.
"It was bad to see (the season) go. Looking at the seniors' eyes, you know they wanted it real bad. All we can do is keep our heads forward and look forward to next season."
With his powerful running style, you might think Reggie would listen to loud music before games, but it's actually the opposite.
"I like to listen to soothing music, I like to listen to jazz before games. Some people find it weird, but it relaxes me."
Reggie says he wants to study engineering in college where he hopes to continue his football career.
"College is very big for me and my family. They always wanted me to push forward to college. Playing football will get me through it."

In the clamor over immigration, the demand for more border security has been unrelenting. Immigration restrictionists have dug in their heels, insisting that stronger border controls must come before any other change. The Senate's bipartisan Gang of Eight, bowing to political reality, is proposing an immigration overhaul that creates a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants living in the United States, but makes it contingent on a series of border-focused security "triggers."
The bill they introduced last month is styled the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013" — the order of those terms is not random — yet a majority of Americans doubts the government would actually secure the border if the law is passed. Florida Senator Marco Rubio, one of the bill's sponsors, publicly invited critics to suggest ways the security triggers could be made even tougher.

Available for $56.49 on Blu-ray (60% off) and $40.49 on DVD (60% off), these sets include the first 10 'Star Trek' movies across 12 discs. This deal will expire at the end of the week. Boldly go.
Take today's Emmy nominations, which, though there were, as always, a few surprises and snubs, generally rewarded the prestige dramas—House of Cards, American Horror Story, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Homeland—that most people regard as the best stuff on TV. Compare that to any year's Oscar nominations, which encompass multiple filmmaking styles and span the studio and indie world and still rarely scratch the surface of what critics and serious moviegoers consider the best of the year. Or just consider the wild range of movies on view in a critics' poll of the best 2013 movies so far, from Before Midnight to Upstream Color to Spring Breakers (and that's just the top three—and we're still months away from Oscar season).
I think the same variation exists in TV, but this is an interesting counterpoint to consider to today's most frequent mantra.
They put up Bridesmaids, we went. They put up Pitch Perfect, we went. They put up The Devil Wears Prada, which was in two-thousand-meryl-streeping-oh-six, and we went (and by "we," I do not just mean women; I mean we, the humans), and all of it has led right here, right to this place. Right to the land of zippedy-doo-dah. You can apparently make an endless collection of high-priced action flops and everybody says "win some, lose some" and nobody decides that They Are Poison, but it feels like every "surprise success" about women is an anomaly and every failure is an abject lesson about how we really ought to just leave it all to The Rock.
Nobody remembers, it seems, how many people said Bridesmaids would fail. And it didn't! But it didn't matter.
A chain-smoking former statistics professor named Vinny Bruzzese — "the reigning mad scientist of Hollywood," in the words of one studio customer — has started to aggressively pitch a service he calls script evaluation. For as much as $20,000 per script, Mr. Bruzzese and a team of analysts compare the story structure and genre of a draft script with those of released movies, looking for clues to box-office success. His company, Worldwide Motion Picture Group, also digs into an extensive database of focus group results for similar films and surveys 1,500 potential moviegoers. What do you like? What should be changed?
"Demons in horror movies can target people or be summoned," Mr. Bruzzese said in a gravelly voice, by way of example. "If it's a targeting demon, you are likely to have much higher opening-weekend sales than if it's summoned. So get rid of that Ouija Board scene."
"All screenwriters think their babies are beautiful," he said, taking a chug of Diet Dr Pepper followed by a gulp of Diet Coke and a drag on a Camel. "I'm here to tell it like it is: Some babies are ugly."
It's that time again. The 5th Annual PCB Summer Movie List!

Between Aerosmith projects and his long-in-the-works debut solo album, Steven Tyler has a busy year ahead. But he's also making time to go back under the knife. Tyler told Rolling Stone: "My knee is giving out. I had ACL reconstructions, and in November I'm getting knee replacement surgery. It'll take me about three or four months to recover … I've had so many operations on my knees and feet that just to be standing is a miracle." Tyler added that Aerosmith will begin working on the band's new record once they finish up their current tour in the meantime, fans can look forward to a new Aerosmith live DVD, 'Rock for the Rising Sun,' which collects performances from the band's 2011 Japanese tour.

Forrest County Agricultural High School looks to make history for the second week in a row come Saturday.
One week after making its first ever appearance in South State, Forrest Co. AHS eyes the 4A state title.
10-5 Lafayette stands in the way. After starting just 3-5, the Commodores have ripped off seven wins in a row.
The 12-2 Aggies also come in riding a seven-game win streak.
Their last victory came against Quitman - a team that handed the Aggies their second loss of the season back in October.
Forrest Co. AHS head football coach Larry Dolan says it is going to take that kind of resilience to win a game of this magnitude.
"It will take that because this is a big league battle, and both teams are going to have to have their moments and we're just going to bounce back when we have a down play and hopefully we can do that," says Dolan. "We've had seven or eight games that have come down to the last minute of the game and we're used to being in close games, so hopefully we get up there and play our best. That's all we can ask is go all out, lay it on the line and do our best."
Fortunately for the 14th-year head man, his seniors seem ready to lead the way.
"I'm looking for a dog fight - 48 minutes, a war - but hopefully we come out on top," says Forrest Co. AHS senior running back Dontavian Lee.
"We're ready," says Forrest Co. AHS senior linebacker and defensive lineman Logan Hill. "We just know that we've got to get serious. They're a good team, and we only know one mission on our hands and that's just come home with a ring."
"Let's get it," says Lee.

In the spirit of inclusion, diversity and community, more than 150 Northampton Community College students threw caution-and a lot of paint-to the wind during the first-ever Color Blast Festival on May 4.
The event was organized by the Hospitality Management Club to raise money to travel to the National Restaurant Association Conference in Chicago on May 18-21.
The club won't know how much money was raised until later, according to club member Rebecca Ali, who said the students went through "a lot of paint." One bag was priced at $2.49, while five bags could be purchased for $9.99.
The "paint" was actually a natural, non-toxic powder made of cornstarch, food-grade dyes and fragrance. It's environmentally friendly, too. So don't fret when you see the photo of the colorful pooch in the Flickr gallery.
Although most attendees arrived with a group of friends or family, the kaleidoscopic crowd was ushered-about every hour-to the center of the field near Commonwealth Hall for synchronized color blasts.
How did the crowd know when to begin flinging paint en masse? Paint bazookas, of course.
When not decorating each other, Color Blast attendees could nosh on a variety of foods including Indian-style wraps with homemade potato chips, fried rice and fish with Thai sauce, Cuban sandwiches, sliders and hot dogs, empanadas, snacks from Buffalo Wild Wings, and baked goods.
DJ Mikey G provided the live entertainment.
Events like this weekend's Color Blast Festival are cropping up throughout the country. The new trend is based off an annual celebration in India called the "Holi Festival," or the Festival of Colors.
According to National Geographic, the major Hindu festival is usually held in early March-on the day after the full moon in the of Phalguna-and marks the beginning of spring.
"During the evening of the full moon, bonfires are lit to ward off spirits and to celebrate the victory of good over evil," National Geographic explains. "The following day, people pile into the streets for the beginning of the central Holi ritual-the throwing of colored powders and water."
Other than the paint bazookas, NCC's event didn't stray too far from tradition. An event page for the Color Blast Festival asked students to "throw your cares to the wind and embrace the coming of warm weather and the passing of winter's chill." In addition, the event was marketed as a "celebration of good times and social harmony."
Ali said the Hospitality Management Club was satisfied with the turnout, but admittedly hoped for more. She did say, however, that members of Student Senate and other clubs have expressed interest in jointly hosting a Color Blast Festival in 2014.

Richard Longrus to Washington State
According to MaxPreps.com basketball editor Jason Hickman, Bishop O'Dowd-Oakland senior Richard Longrus has verbally committed to Washington State. Longrus, a rugged 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward, picked the Cougars over Stanford and Colorado. Known for his defensive prowess and occasional offensive explosion, Longrus should be O'Dowd's No. 1 threat this season with the transfer of Arizona-bound Brandon […] [Read More]

Girls basketball coach caught on video fighting, kicking, biting teen boy

Icahn School of Medicine's class of 2014 participated in Match Day 2014; matching to some of the nation's most competitive residency programs.
Match Day 2014
It's one of the most thrilling and emotional days in the academic careers of medical students across the country. The annual tradition known as Match Day kicked off at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai with a surprise flash mob organized by students. The choreographed routine got the crowd excited right before 127 students matched to some of the nation's most competitive residency programs, including Massachusetts General Hospital; Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania; Yale-New Haven Hospital; Duke University Medical Center; University of California, San Francisco Medical Center; and Stanford University.
Forty-one students will remain within the Mount Sinai Health System, consisting of seven hospital campuses in the New York metropolitan area, to continue their training.
Graduates from the class of 2014 were among 17,347 U.S. medical students who participated in the 2014 Match Day event. The students will bring their accomplishments in the classroom, the laboratory, and the community to more than 20 areas. The most popular fields this year were Internal Medicine, Anesthesiology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Family Medicine. Nearly 60 percent of Icahn School of Medicine's students matched to the nation's top 20 academic medical centers.
Match Day is the day when all the years of training and hard work come together, and we could not be more proud of this distinguished group of students who exemplify the school's culture of mentoring, clinical excellence, commitment to the community, and achievement in biomedical research. We look forward to watching our students bring the values and skills they've cultivated at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to the nation's best medical programs as they pursue the next phase in their careers. They are the next generation of physicians and scientists and will undoubtedly advance the field medicine, and improve the lives of countless patients.
The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) is a private, not-for-profit organization that conducts the annual Match by using a computerized mathematical algorithm to align the preferences of applicants with the preferences of residency programs available at U.S. teaching hospitals.

A botched burglary early Saturday morning at a West Toledo home has left one man dead.
It's not the homeowner, rather the intruder.
Toledo police say it happened in the 4500 Block of Douglas Road.
The homeowner, Brian Loyer, woke to the sound of his side door being kicked in.
He grabbed a gun and announced he was armed, but the suspect, 24-year-old Lucas Hassen, continued his attempt to get inside, according to police.
Loyer fired, hitting Hassen, who fled and collapsed in the backyard of Joan Rutherford.
"It's a good neighborhood. I've lived here for thirty years, so it hasn't been a bad neighborhood at all," said Rutherford.
She noticed the commotion and police in her backyard.
"I turned around, looked out a window and that's when I saw the body laying on the ground," said Rutherford.
Police say Hassen died from a gunshot wound.
Area residents tell WTOL 11, they feel that Loyer did nothing wrong by defending himself.
"They have a right to protect their house, property, home, their family" said John Riggins.
Loyer declined an interview request.
Police say the shooting remains under investigation.

"The 2003 Cote de Tablas, a blend of 60% Grenache, 24% Syrah, 12% Mourvedre, and 4% Counoise, represents a souped-up version of a California Cotes du Rhone. Its sweet candied cherry/kirsch liqueur, licorice, resiny, loamy soil, and white pepper notes are followed by a generous, medium to full-bodied, pure, complex, delicious wine to drink over the next 3-4 years."

The Perrins of Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas, their importer since 1970, founded Tablas Creek Vineyard in 1990. They chose their 1600-foot elevation site in West Paso Robles' Las Tablas because of its chalky clay soils and its climate similar to the southern Rhone Valley. They imported selected French cuttings of Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah and Counoise and multiplied, grafted and planted their own vines, which they farm organically. This blended wine, in the image of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, is 100% estate-grown and bottled.

Name: Brian Baker
LIU Global – Junior Transfer
Hometown: I come from a small town in New York State.
Email Address: firstname.lastname@example.com
How You Learned About LIU Global: I learned about LIU Global on the internet.
Center/Program of Study Currently: I am currently enrolled in the India Center.
Course/Field trips you are taking this semester/year: This semester I am taking Hindi Class, Writing class, TCR, Medicinal Healing, Introduction to Indian Culture and Global Issues.
Area of Concentration or Interest: Global Studies and Anthropology
Favorite Center/Program thus far: India Center
Most Powerful Experience thus far: So far I like the Writing class the best. My most powerful experience so far is being around all the people. I come from a small town in New York State. Bangalore is so large and amazing, and the people are so nice and welcoming.
Why You Chose LIU Global: I chose LIU Global for the experience. Some of the places that LIU Global takes you are once-in-a-lifetime places to go.
More About You: Like I said before I come from a small town with around 4,000 people. I graduated from the community college in my town. At Genesee Community College I received my Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts. I then took some time off; I worked and traveled a lot. Then a few years later I decided to go to LIU Global. When I am not studying I like to go camping and hiking or sometimes canoeing. I am basically just trying to get the most out of life.
Name: Emily Volz
LIU Global - Sophomore Transfer
Hometown: Northampton, MA
Email Address: email@example.com
How You Learned About LIU Global: An independent guidance counselor told me about it.
Center/Program of Study Currently: India Center
Course/Field trips you are taking this semester/year: The required courses I am taking are Global Issues: Indian Perspective, Theory Culture and Representation, Writing, and Hindi. So far we have visited the University of Agriculture in Bangalore, a human rights organization called SICHREM, the Ramakrishna Monastery, the Bishop Cottons School for Boys, and we've done a city as text assignment with several temples around Bangalore. We will be going to a market for Hindi class, as well as a Dalit organization, and for our long field trip we will be going to Chennai. The electives I will be taking are Global Health and Healing Traditions, Environment and Sustainability, and I'm doing an independent study on artisans in Bangalore.
Area of Concentration or Interest: Sustainable livelihoods-environment, health, and job related
Favorite Center/Program thus far: This is my first one, so far so good!
Most Powerful Experience thus far: For service learning I visited an organization called DWARAKA, which works to create sustainable livelihoods for poor and oppressed people in and around Bangalore. There are many different aspects to the organization but what we saw the most were their efforts to provide basic human needs such as food, clean water, shelter, and land rights to slum dwellers, as well as schools so the younger generations can become educated. It was very intense and powerful experience and I am so happy I got to see and learn what I did. It was very important to see the way of life in the slums, but also how it is possible to improve the conditions for those people. DWARAKA has had both struggles and successes, so it was an inspiring organization to study and learn from.
Why You Chose LIU Global: I knew I liked experiencing cultures and travel, and I was also very intrigued by the experiential learning aspect of it. It sounded like the perfect fit for what I wanted to be doing at this time in my life, and so far it's been great.
More About you: I grew up in Western Massachusetts and after high school I went to the College of Charleston in South Carolina. After my first year there I went to Hawaii over the summer and did a work exchange on an organic farm there. From that experience I learned the importance of knowing where your food comes from and being conscious about what's really going on in the world. I did one more semester at Charleston and realized it wasn't the right place for me, so I took some time off and began to travel. I backpacked through Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia for four months, which altered my worldview even more. I also returned to Hawaii during my time off to live and work. After three semesters off I transferred into LIU Global at the India Center and now I appreciate all I am learning and am so happy to be here.
Name: Hannah Aisling Campbell
LIU Global - Sophomore
Hometown: New York, New York
Email Address: email@example.com
How You Learned About LIU Global: Last year I attended a more traditional liberal arts college. Though there were many good things about the school, I was unhappy with the academic structure and felt that I was not receiving the kind of education I personally needed to learn and grow to my full potential. One day I was studying with a friend, and I began telling her about all the ways in which I was unhappy with our school and the type of education we were receiving. She had a close friend who went to LIU Global, and she told me she thought it sounded like a perfect fit for me.
Course/Field trips you are taking this semester/year: Long Field Trips to Chennai, Pondicherry, Kerala, and possibly Mysore.
Area of Concentration or Interest: My primary focus is Education, and within education I hope to incorporate my other two interests, women and children's empowerment and the arts (particularly photography). I've had kind of an unusual educational journey (I've gone to public schools, an all-girls' boarding school, a women's liberal arts college, and now LIU Global), and I've somewhat recently come to the realization that the realm of education is of great interest and importance to me. This semester I am gaining teaching experience by teaching at an orphanage and an ashram, and I am planning to visit many schools in Bangalore to learn more about India's educational system. I think that education is one of the most powerful tools for social change, and I hope to not only learn how to teach effectively but also learn about education reform and international modes of education.
Favorite Center/Program thus far: …India!
Most Powerful Experience thus far: Teaching at an orphanage for girls and visiting and meeting with rehabilitated slum communities.
Why You Chose LIU Global: I wanted a more hands-on education and a school where I would be supported in pursuing independent studies. The international aspect of the school was of course a big draw, too—I have always loved learning about other cultures and languages, and am so excited and grateful to be having the opportunity to travel extensively while in college. I also chose the school due to its large emphasis on social change and world issues. I enjoy being in an environment full of like-minded peers who are adventurous and desire to make a difference in the world.
More About you: I am from New York, but I have lived in many parts of the United States throughout my life. Currently, my family lives in Los Angeles, California. A few of my loves (besides travel, education, and Indian culture) are singing, languages, photography, Fair Trade, poetry, and documentary films. I currently hope to one day empower and have a positive impact on youth through teaching, start a school, and possibly work in the Foreign Service.

Selling Commercial Service Agreements (part 5)
Originally published: 04.01.12 by Wendell Bedell
|About This Series
This is the fifth of a six-part series on creating a selling system for commercial service agreements.
I designed the series as a complete A-Z guide. I encourage you to save these in a training folder.
The Selling Commercial Service Agreements series includes the following topics:
Part I:
Preparing for service agreement surveys
(see June 2011 issue)
Part II:
Equipment and system surveying and data gathering
(see August 2011 issue)
Part III:
Profitable pricing strategies to win the business
(see November 2011 issue)
Part IV:
Proposal-writing strategies
(see February 2012 issue)
Part V:
Hiring and compensating service sales reps
Part VI:
Organizing for service agreements
These articles will appear periodically in HVACR Business
and are stored in the archives at
Your company's capabilities, offerings, and the markets you pursue dictate which sales-tasking activities and competencies you require from your sales team. Your markets have unique business and technical requirements that must be fully understood and accurately assessed by the sales rep so that your company can provide profitable solutions and appropriate sales
Therefore, before hiring a sales rep, market requirements or sales-rep competencies must be identified and captured in a formal job description via a job analysis. The job analysis and resultant job description is used as the basis for all of your recruiting, hiring, training, and deploying of the sales position. The job-analysis process defines the sales-tasking requirements, performance standards, and personnel competency requirements to be successful in the sales job.
The Job-Analysis Process
We recommend using these questions when performing the job analysis:
1. What are the essential skills and knowledge required for the position?
2. What are the essential job functions and tasks to be performed?
3. What are the responsibilities and authority of the position?
4. What are the performance-success factors?
Why So Many Ineffective Sales Reps?
BSI has conducted extensive research to determine why so many contractors fail miserably at hiring effective sales reps. We found that it is due to failing to identify whether an applicant possessed the traits to perform successfully. These traits are listed on the table on page 40.
Successful Recruiting Strategies
The quality of the people you hire will in the end determine the quality of your sales force. Therefore, hire the very best people that have both the core and skill-specific competencies required to succeed in the sales-tasking activities you need performed to reach your goals.
There are several sources and methods available to find candidates.
Below are the most common:
• Within the company: Internal sources are the preferred source due to loyalty and employee motivation. Candidates can be found in other departments, friends of employees, and former employees.
• Help-wanted ads: These are the most common method of recruiting. To be successful, they must be carefully prepared. Help-wanted ads are marketing promotion pieces that must answer for the candidate what's in it for me. Therefore, the ad must sell the company and the opportunity; you by phone, fax, and by email.
The following guidelines should be used when developing help-wanted ads:
1. Be clear, concise, and truthful.
2. Clearly indicate the job title.
3. Indicate the minimum education and skill-level requirements.
4. Describe the product/service offerings they will be selling.
5. Provide a broad description of the compensation plan and fringe benefits.
6. Indicate when the job needs to be filled.
• Use an executive search firm: Executive search firms are good sources of qualified candidates because of their screening capabilities, greater geographic reach, and the ability to penetrate competitors. They usually charge a fee up to 33% of the first year's salary and bonus packages. Most provide screening and a direct contact to a competitor's experienced salespeople.
• College/trade school internship programs: Another good source of candidates is college/trade school interns available during school breaks. This provides both a chance for you to evaluate their work ethic and capabilities, and an opportunity to determine if they are a fit for your business after they complete school.
• Your professional network: Using your professional contacts is probably the best means to find candidates. Most good candidates are not usually looking for a job and would not even see your want ad or other recruiting tactics. Just like with your prospecting for business, using a mutual contact referral has a greater impact on getting a favorable response from a candidate. When a potential candidate receives a call from you based on a referral from friend or professional associate, they tend to investigate the opportunity more closely.
Conducting an Effective Interview
Pre-planning the interview allows you to ask the questions, which enables you to control the meeting. You shouldtalk only about 25% of the time while the candidate talks 75% of the time. Using open-ended "high-gain" questions requiring an in-depth explanation or response allows you to gain a better picture of the candidate's work ethics and habits.
During the interview, you must evaluate the candidate on:
• Their knowledge and understanding of the job opportunity.
• Their interest in the opportunity.
• Determine the candidate's career objectives for fit within your organization.
• The presence of any knockout factors.
• Their match to essential job related success factors.
On page 38 we provide an example "Competency-Based Interview Questions" for a sales position.
Personality Assessment
How and what the sales rep does is a function of their personality traits. The resume and interviewing process tells you what they can do. However, these items do not tell us how the candidate will execute his sales tasking and other assigned tasks.
Since the sales rep is a huge investment in both money and your time, we encourage you to invest in a personality test to determine exactly how they will perform on the job. Today personality tests are accurate, predictive, and legally defensible as part of your selection process.
These tests, such as the Drake P3, identify core competencies and key behaviors and link those behaviors to behavioral traits that studies have shown are essential to be successful in sales. The results of this test will show if there will be any specific challenges a candidate might face on the job you're trying to fill. These tests can be conducted in about five minutes of the candidate's time. The candidate is compared against the personality traits of top sales performers. In addition, the testing is nondiscriminatory, unbiased, and legally defensible.
Sales Competency Evaluation
and Training
Once hired and deployed, the sales reps must evaluate their individual performance and training requirements. The sales rep should have a continuous learning attitude and implement his/her own self-development program from both external and internal on-the-job sources to shore up both core and skill specific competencies.
BSI provides Contractor subscribers with a free sales rep "Competency Evaluation and Training Guide Booklet" as a free email download. To obtain the survey form, simply send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Competency Evaluation and Training Guide Booklet" in the subject line.

We offer two ways to locate information:
This wine is produced from our oldest vines, which have fewer, smaller grapes with a more concentrated flavor. We are able to harvest the grapes later because there is far less risk of rot, owing to the small bunches. The grapes are very ripe and have a high natural sugar level. The wine is vinified in traditional Burgundy methods. Ancien is a deeply colored wine with a bouquet of red fruit and very soft tannins. It can be drunk relatively young but is probably best at 2 to 3 years old. This is a wine well balanced with natural sugar and acidity.
"The latest vintage of Terres Doree's flagship, 2007 L'Ancien Vieilles Vignes may or may not be labeled "Beaujolais" as well, depending on when you buy it. Due to the volume produced and the regulations of the French quality "watchdogs" three sets of samples of the same wine had to be submitted to the committee of growers who authorize the appellation controllee. The first submission was approved, but the subsequent submissions of exactly the same wine weren't just refused, they were repeatedly reported to be full of off-aromas. Truth be told, Brun's conception of "ancient method" Beaujolais is simply not widely shared by the down-trodden majority of Beaujolais growers, and thus he joins the lengthening line of refusnik vignerons who can wear that status as an honor. To paraphrase Churchill: "In the morning, my wine will all be sold, but yours will still be insipid." And how does this renegade Beaujolais actually taste? Its vivid aromas and flavors of tart fresh cherry are allied to flowers and distilled berries in the nose and a positively chewy sense of fruit skin on the palate. Salty, chalky notes add complexity to the most invigorating and indelible finish you are apt to encounter in any under-$20 red wine."

The Wine Advocate
The Domaine des Terres Dorees is located in the Southern Beaujolais, just north of Lyons, in a beautiful area known as the "Region of Golden Stones." Jean-Paul Brun is the owner and winemaker at this 40-acre family estate and has attracted the attention of the French and American press for the wonderfully fruity and delicate wines he produces.
(boe-show-lay) Upon hearing Beaujolais, many think of the large celebration for wine that comes out the 3rd week of November, that year's vintage of Beaujolais Nouveau. But the region of Beaujolais, situated at the bottom of the Burgundy AC, is more than just the nouveau. Some Beaujolais wines can be kept (gasp!) for up to 10 years! Those are usually the Cru Beaujolais and are...Read More About Beaujolais

FDIC boss: Banks need to dump brokers
Agency director Thomas Hoenig calls for the separation of commercial banking and brokerage businesses.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. director Thomas Hoenig wants U.S. banks out of the brokerage business.
Speaking before the Exchequer Club in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Hoenig reiterated his May 2011 proposal that banks -- in return for the "public safety net" of deposit insurance and access to the Federal Reserve discount window -- should "again be restricted from engaging in higher-risk/return activities such as trading, creating derivatives or other broker dealer activities."
Unlike the Glass Steagall Act of 1932, which was originally meant to completely separate traditional banks that gathered deposits and made loans from investment banks, Hoenig's proposal would allow banks to "continue to do trust and wealth management, and underwrite new issues of stocks and bonds, as those activities bring new capital to commercial firms."
After several decades during which traditional banks took on more and more securities-related roles, the Glass Steagall Act was repealed when the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was passed in 1999.
Under the Volcker Rule -- part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed by President Obama in July 2010 -- banks will be prohibited from most "proprietary trading," with plenty of exceptions contained under the Federal Reserve's proposed final rule, to allow banks to make hedge trade and engage in market making activities.
Hoenig's proposal would go further than the Volcker Rule, since banks "would not be allowed to conduct broker-dealer activities, make markets in derivatives or securities, trade securities or derivatives for either their own account or customers, or sponsor hedge or private equity funds."
While federal regulators have missed Dodd-Frank Act's July deadline for the Volcker Rule to be finalized and implemented, the writing is already on the wall, with an exodus of buy-side talent leaving Wall Street firms to strike out on their own.
Hoenig, the former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and a Federal Reserve Open Market Committee member from 1991 until 2011, says his proposal would return deposit insurance and the Fed's discount window "to the purpose for which (they were) intended: protecting from systemic disruptions the payments system and the intermediation of funds from depositor to borrower that is commercial banking."
Allowing banks to engage in formerly restricted activities gave the largest banks "cost advantages related to the safety-net," which "encouraged and facilitated consolidation among market players resulting in the 10 largest financial firms increasing their control of industry assets from 31% to 68%," Hoenig said, adding that "we acknowledged all too late that the failure of any one of these firms would have a severe systemic impact on the broader economy."
The FDIC Director also said that broadening the banks' safety net "fundamentally changed" the industry's business model: "In commercial banking the model is set around win-win, where the success of the borrower means success to the lender in the repayment and growth of the credit relationship. In broker-dealer and trading activities, the incentives are centered around win-lose in which the parties are placing bets on asset price movements or directional changes in activity."
Having the broker-deal business "within the safety-net changes the risk/return trade-off, changes behavior, and adds significant new risks to commercial banking and vulnerability to the safety-net," Hoenig said.
Not only have the largest U.S. banks greatly expanded their brokerage activities over the past two decades, the largest investment banks chose to become regulated as traditional bank holding companies, coming under Federal Reserve supervision.
While Hoenig's proposal would appear to have a very small chance of becoming law in the current political environment, we are heading into an election, and as we saw with Dodd-Frank, the ongoing credit crisis and anti-Wall Street fervor can lead to major regulatory changes. While most of Dodd-Frank hasn't yet been implemented, the banking landscape has changed in a major way, with the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the proposed adoption of Basel III capital requirements and the Volcker Rule being just a few examples.
Hoenig's proposal really would lead to major industry upheaval, causing the break-up of the largest U.S. Banks:
- Goldman Sachs (GS) has been regulated as a traditional bank holding company since late 2008. The company has two bank subsidiaries that enjoy deposit insurance protection. Goldman Sachs Bank USA had $114.7 billion in total assets as of June 30, while Goldman Sachs Trust Company, NA, had a small balance sheet, with just $47.4 million in total assets, focusing on trust services.
- Morgan Stanley (MS) is expanding its brokerage business, agreeing on Sept. 11 to complete its purchase of Citigroup's (C) 49% stake in the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture, by June 1, 2015. The company also came under Federal Reserve supervision as a bank holding company in late 2008, and has two deposit-gathering bank subsidiaries. Morgan Stanley Bank, NA had $69.4 billion in total assets as of June 30, while Morgan Stanley Private Bank, NA had $12 billion in assets.
- As its name tells us so clearly, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is a major player, in traditional commercial banking, investment banking, and brokerage, with the old Chase Manhattan merging with J.P. Morgan in 2000. The combined company is the largest bank holding company in the U.S., with $2.3 trillion in total assets as of June 30. JPMorgan Chase's $4.4 billion in second-quarter pre-tax trading losses in its Chief Investment Office from the now infamous "London Whale" hedge trade, is just the sort of thing Hoenig would like to see traditional banks avoid. Then again, JPMorgan still turned a tidy $5 billion second-quarter profit.
- Bank of America (BAC) is the second-largest U.S bank holding company, with $2.2 trillion in assets as of June 30. With the company facing $22.7 billion in mortgage repurchase demands as of June 30 -- a number that grew by 41% just in the second quarter -- it is surely counting on its Merrill Lynch subsidiary, which it acquired in 2008, as a major source of fee revenue. The company's Global Markets unit accounted for $3.4 billion in second-quarter revenue, out of $22.2 billion in total revenue.
- Citigroup (C) had $1.9 trillion in total assets as of June 30. The company is well on its way to reducing its brokerage business, through the sale of its 49% stake in the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture, that will be completed in June 2015. However, Citigroup also has an institutional brokerage services, which unlike the MSSB joint venture, has not been placed within the company's Citi Holdings runoff subsidiary.
- Wells Fargo (WFC) had $1.4 trillion in assets as of June 30, having more than doubled in size when it trumped Citigroup's bid to acquire the troubled Wachovia in 2008. Wachovia Securities was a very important part of that acquisition. Total second-quarter revenue for Wells Fargo's Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement unit was $3.0 billion, out of the company's total revenue of $21.3 billion.

There is a new hybrid super car coming from Japan that is set to debut sometime next year. If all goes well Tong Jian will be remembered amongst the greats such as Enzo Ferrari and Ferdinand Porsche; except for one thing Tong Jian is a Chinese figure skater. Perhaps the designers wanted to inspire the Tong Jian S11 to be as agile as the other speed machines that it resembles.
The car was designed by students from the Tongya University, and used a number of elements from super cars that are already on the market. The nose is a mix of Lamborghini scoops and Audi inspired headlights. The super car also features a pair of carbon fiber side scoops from an R8. Out back there are Ferrari inspired taillights and a powerfully round rear end that gives the S11 a GT-R like stance when viewed from behind. The Ferrari elements are carried over into the interior as well.
What should make electric automakers like Tesla take notice, is that the car will be powered to a combination of electric motors and internal combustion that will send power to all the four wheels. Could this be the next green super car?

Liberty Flagpole Light 9 9
Flag Pole Light My husband was very pleased with the quality of the light and how it lights up the flag. It is sturdy in the wind which is a good thing. We would recommend this item to someone who was looking for a flag light. The cost is not cheap but then you only get what you pay for. June 16, 2012
Liberty Light great purchase There is not much more to say. The light does everything it said it would do in the magazine. It lights up at night and turns off in the morning. June 15, 2012
Excellent Product We love the clear bright light, the coverage, and the way our American Flag can be seen clearly during the night. Thanks for this product. May 26, 2012
Really Not Sure Yet On Rating I really can't give you a fair rating yet because the product you sent didn't work. We followed all instructions, charged it for 4 days and it never would work. We are sending it back hoping for a unit that works, then we might be better able to evaulate it. One thing I did notice is that the battery pack is sealed/hard-wired to the unit which will make an exchange of new batteries impossible. Once the rechargable batteries can no longer hold a charge I don't relish the thought of tossing the entire $100 unit and buying another for wont of 4 new rechargeable batteries. I can already see this as a huge problem, but I bought this for my husband's cherished flagpole and he wanted to try again. January 4, 2012
just what i needed couldnt find in my area, then after getting yours, everybody seemed to have them to buy October 24, 2011

Loyola established a relationship with Newcastle University in the late 1990s. We have recently expanded on this longstanding partnership and opened a Study Abroad Center in Newcastle. This will make the study abroad experience for Loyola students much easier and more enjoyable. We will also start admitting students from other American institutions into the center. For more information about the Loyola University Center at Newcastle University please visit our website. We have historically sent 15-30 students each September for the full academic year. We also offer a fall semester and a spring semester option to accommodate students whose major does not allow them to go abroad for a year. Newcastle University is a large research university located in northeast England in the city of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. The city is located 1.5 hours from Edinburgh, Scotland and 5 hours from London. The Scandinavian countries, Germany, and Ireland are accessible by ferry. Continental Europe can be reached by air or rail.
Hi! My name is Adrianna Caton. I am currently a senior, double majoring in English Literature and Psychology. I could not be happier with my decision to study abroad in Newcastle for the entire academic year. During my nine months in England, I was able to travel the country and experience the various cultures that exist within Britain. From touring castles and cathedrals, to sharing a cup of tea and practicing my British accent with my flatmates, my time in England was filled with some of the best experiences of my life.
Studying abroad for the year also allowed me to do a significant amount of travel throughout Europe. Not only was I able to see so much of our beautiful world, but I made international friendships that I will cherish forever. Regardless of whether you choose to study abroad for the year or a semester, Newcastle offers an unlimited amount of opportunities and unforgettable experiences. If you have any questions about the program or my experiences studying abroad, please do not hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Hey! My name is Nick Scutari and I am a Communication major and a Marketing minor here at Loyola University Maryland. I studied abroad during the Spring semester in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity! Newcastle is a very unique city with rich culture, a friendly atmosphere, and enjoyable nightlife. Becoming immersed in British everyday life, attending an international university, and travelling to numerous different cities within England truly made my experience very memorable! I was also able to travel to eight countries throughout Europe as well during my time abroad! If you have any questions or would like to hear more about my experience, feel free to contact me!
E-mail: email@example.com
Hey guys! My name is Hillary Stalknecht and I am a Biology/Psychology Interdisciplinary major here at Loyola. I had the most amazing time studying abroad junior year in Newcastle, England. Not only was I immersed in a much different academic setting than Loyola but I was also exposed to the rich and historic culture of England. Newcastle is the most perfect city to attend University in. Between the friendly locals (also known as the Geordies), the bustling downtown center, and the lively nightlife, Newcastle offers just about everything to help contribute towards the most fulfilling time abroad. Better yet, Loyola's program at Newcastle has so many course equivalencies that I was able to stay there not just one, but two semesters without using many electives! That extra time allowed me to do a lot of international travel during breaks in the academic year and gave me a glimpse of what the world has to offer. As a full year student I feel that I was incredibly submerged into the culture of the United Kingdom and became very active at Newcastle University. I love to talk to people about my experience and would love to answer any and all questions you may have about Newcastle and studying abroad in general! Feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Hey guys, my name is Zach Samson. I am a Global Studies major and Political Science minor. Being offered to study abroad for the year was possibly one of the best things that could have happened. My experience abroad for the year in Newcastle was amazing. My time abroad was full of amazing trips and amazing friends that I will never forget. Newcastle may not be the most popular city in England but is by far one of the bests. There are plenty of things to do in the area and it is always a good time. The city has a lot to offer whether it is going to a soccer match to visiting museums to going out a night time. The people and times you have abroad will be the best experiences of your life. If you have any questions or would like to talk about anything feel free to email me at email@example.com.
Program Ambassadors are students who studied abroad at Newcastle for the 2012-2013 academic school year. Please feel free to contact them with program-specific questions.

This is a working list of the course equivalencies for the Newcastle, England program.
The course approvals and equivalencies provided are the most current for the Office of International Programs. Once accepted to a study abroad program, students will have an academic interview with the appropriate director and will be advised on their course selection.
Please be advised: All students are solely responsible for informing themselves about the status of these courses. Course approvals and equivalencies may change at a moment's notice. This means you should confirm if the following courses are approved, or if the courses have been removed.
If there are other courses you desire to take and they are not on the course equivalency list, you must get written course approval by the department chair. The courses that you choose should fit into your degree audit and enable you to graduate on time.

How Cloud Computing is Changing The Way We Design
In the not-too-distant future, your Smartphone will replace your laptop. Today, Web applications are connecting consumers to a myriad of Web services that are accessible from a cloud. In the not-too-distant future, you will lease the software you run on your PC, and access the software and files from a cloud. This webinar explains how cloud computing is driving changes to the way we design systems and services, and how you can prepare for the changes coming.
Join David Dick in this webinar as he presents an introduction to cloud computing and how organizations can move to the cloud, and then closes with considerations for designing systems and services to satisfy the needs of consumers.

Yields on government bonds in both those countries have tightened slightly in early trading.
Portugal's PSI 20, notably, is off around 2 percent.
Core Europe seems to be holding on to gains, however. The DAX is up 0.45 percent and the CAC 40 is 0.16 percent higher this morning.
Today's big news so far is from the ECB. Its monthly statement indicated that officials there believe inflation will dip under 2 percent next year, making monetary policy easing a likelihood. More easing appeared to be off the table in the near-term after ECB President Mario Draghi said the bank was worried about inflation after the last ECB decision.
Farther east, Asian markets rallied. The Shanghai composite led the way, rising 1.82 percent, but all major markets gained. The only sour point there was south Korea, where tensions remain high about an upcoming North Korea missile launch.
U.S. futures are up about 0.50 percent right now, indicating a higher open.
UPDATE: European shares have moved sharply lower, and an Italian bond auction left much to be desired.
Only the DAX is holding onto gains. Italy and Spain continue to lead the drop. The FTSE MIB is down 1.58 percent and the IBEX 35 is off 2.17 percent.

ABINGDON, Md. (AP) — Authorities say emergency crews have rescued a man who was suspended from a rope at a dam in Harford County.
Aberdeen Proving Ground officials say crews called to the Atkisson Dam near Abingdon on Wednesday morning found the man suspended from a rope on the spillway side of the dam, but he was alert and responsive. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Local fire officials tweeted that the man wasn't injured, but needed care for cold exposure.
APG officials say the man was issued a citation for trespassing at the dam, which is federal property and was built to provide a reservoir for the base.
