Women's tennis knocks off previously unbeaten Jacksonville, 5-2
Sunday, March 06, 2011
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Mar. 5, 2011) - Following a tough loss to North Florida yesterday, the ETSU women's tennis team rebounded with a 5-2 victory over previously unbeaten Jacksonville, Saturday afternoon in A-Sun action at the Keith Watson Family Tennis Complex.
"I want to first give a lot of credit to Coach Miles and his team today," said ETSU Assistant Coach Travis Sandlant. "We had many chances to close out JU and win convincingly, but they just kept fighting their way into the matches and actually gave themselves a chance to win today. I am very proud of how the girls responded to the pressure that JU put on us and got over the line."
The Bucs got out to a nice start by winning the crucial doubles point after taking two out of the three matches. The duo of Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa) and Marine Wieliczko (Rouen, France) started the day with a solid 8-3 win over Natalia Melibeu and Flavia Nagayama. Then, the Bucs clinched the doubles point as Diana Navrostska (Lviv, Ukraine) and Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) defeated Virginia Iwinski and Veronique Spencer, 8-5.
In singles play, the Bucs picked up a couple of early wins as Voinea defeated Spencer, 6-2, 6-2, at the No. 6 position. Voinea continues to be dominant at singles play as she moves to 6-2 on the season. She has now won three consecutive matches. The Bucs also got a straight set victory from Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) as she got past Gabriela Bartos, 6-2, 7-5.
With the Bucs needing just one more victory to clinch the match, things started to get tight as the Dolphins earned two straight set wins of their own to trail by just one at 3-2. The two matches still in progress were at the No. 4 and 5 positions as both went to three sets.
At the No. 4 position ETSU junior Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) took the opening set against Melibeu, but fell in the second to force a third frame. Kedzo came out strong in the third set and won it 6-1 to end the match. Navrostska also went to three sets in her match against Iwinski at the No. 5 position. She also earned a victory as she shut Iwinski out in the third set, 6-0.
"We must improve on being able to finish off teams when we are up and not let them back in," added Sandlant. "Today we took the foot off the pedal and nearly paid the price of it. We are looking forward to our match tomorrow against Florida Atlantic."
With the win, the Bucs move to 3-5 (1-1 A-Sun) on the season, while snapping a five-match losing streak. Meanwhile, Jacksonville falls to 7-1 (0-1 A-Sun).
The Bucs remain on the Florida road swing as they take on Florida Atlantic tomorrow at 11 a.m. in non-conference action.

Kristen Stewart poses at Chanel show in Paris (Getty Images)
Kristen smiles and waves as she walks inside (Getty Images)
Kristen Stewart made her first public appearance since she split with Pattinson in May, attending Tuesday's Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week's Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2013-2014 presentation.
The actress smiled and waved at photographers (yes, you read that right!) as she made her way into the Grand Palais. As the 23-year-old posed for photos, she looked straight out of a Chanel ad, pairing black short-shorts with a classic white tweed jacket, black moto gloves, and black pumps.
Stewart was in great spirits as she mingled with the one and only Karl Lagerfeld inside and posed for pictures with "Bridesmaids" actress Rose Byrne. Stewart sat front row at the show alongside former "Boardwalk Empire" actor Michael Pitt. Also in attendance a few seats over was Milla Jovovich and Johnny Depp's ex, Vanessa Paradis.

So what has Pattinson been up to while Stewart embraces her inner fashionista in Paris?
The 27-year-old "Cosmopolis" actor checked out Beyoncé's Mrs. Carter World Tour at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday night (along with every other celebrity in the world). Over the weekend, Pattinson was also photographed driving his red truck in his Los Feliz neighborhood with a red-headed woman in the passenger seat. Naturally, blogs have run rampant speculating this must be his new girlfriend.
Since their split, both Pattinson and Stewart have leaned on friends for support. Kristen went on a road trip across country with a few pals, while Rob recently threw a star-studded party at his house.

A union protest might have squelched attendance at a Montgomery County Democratic party fundraiser last weekend , but it hasn't stopped donations from rolling in.
County Democratic Central Committee Chairman Gabe Albornoz said Thursday that pledges made in the wake of the party's May 11 Spring Ball have helped the party exceed its fundraising goal for the event.
"What's happened is we have been receiving pledges over the last four days, since the event ended, from people who indicated that they could not attend, but that they wanted to support the party and all of our efforts," he said.
A number of donors gave in reaction to the protest, as a gesture of party support, he said.
Albornoz said including money raised through the event's live auction, the party has raised more than $50,000 so far, but is still tallying the pledges so final numbers were not available Thursday.
On May 12, the day after the event, he said the ball raised about $45,000, but he had expected $10,000 to $15,000 more.
Albornoz said the pledges made this week will tack at least another $10,000 onto that $50,000, exceeding goals.
While the party appreciates the extra support, it will still approach the unions to mend fences.
"We still, obviously, want to sit down with leaders in labor and maintain that we are unquestionably a pro-labor organization," Albornoz said.
Joslyn N. Williams, president of the Metropolitan Washington Council of the AFL-CIO, which organized the protest, was unavailable for comment Thursday.
Union leaders called for a protest of the party's Spring Ball as a response to the party's support of the all-Democrat Montgomery County Council's position on bargaining rights for the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 35 that went to the ballot last fall.
All public employee unions in Montgomery can negotiate wages, hours and working conditions. The FOP was the only union also to have the right to bargain the effects of management decisions.
The county claimed the union was misusing that right, stymieing effective management of the department. In a 9-0 vote in 2011, the council eliminated the FOP's "effects bargaining" right.
The FOP collected enough signatures to take the law to referendum during the November 2012 election, and 58 percent of voters agreed with the council.
Union leaders who opposed the law expected the party to remain neutral on the ballot issue, but instead the party voted 109-14 to support the County Council, which was the motivation for their protest May 11.
A number of high-profile Democrats chose to honor the picket lines, including Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who had announced his gubernatorial bid the day before, and U.S. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin of Pikesville.
But many Democrats decried the action expressing disappointment at the unions.

Set-Asides and Special Interest Groups
How to Take Advantage of Small Business Set Asides
By law, the federal government must give special consideration to small businesses when awarding specific government contracts. Every federal government purchase anticipated to be valued from $2500 to $100,000 is automatically set aside for small businesses as long as there are at least two companies that can provide the product or service.
Within this general small business group goal, federal goals have been established for service-disabled small business owners, women-owned small businesses,small-disadvantaged businesses, and historically underutilized business zone, or HUBZone businesses.
The current government acquisition goals are:
- 23 percent of prime contracts for small businesses
- 5 percent of prime and subcontracts for women-owned small businesses
- 5 percent of prime contracts for Small Disadvantaged Businesses
- 3 percent of prime contracts for HUBZone small businesses
- 3 percent of prime and subcontracts for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses
The most recent set-aside category, established in 2011, is women-owned small businesses. Learn more about the program at the SBA website here. Program pages on the site also include a compliance guide and details on certification.
To learn how to acquire a certification in a particular business group, visit the SBA.gov certification site page about various small business certifications.

INDIANAPOLIS (Jan. 4, 2013) – The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) announced today that in 2012 it secured job commitments from 256 companies from across the country and around the world that project to create more than 27,600 new jobs, an increase from 19,080 in 2011 and more than any other year on record.
"A better state economy starts with a positive business climate, and Indiana's is now near the top of every list," said Governor Mitch Daniels. "But great credit goes to the job-hunters of the IEDC, and to our pro-growth partners in the General Assembly who helped us build that environment and build America's best economic development agency."
Driven by companies like Amazon, Toyota, Magnetation, Angie's List, Sugar Creek Packing, Supreme Industries and Sweetwater Sound, Indiana welcomed commitments for 27,620 new jobs and $6.41 billion in capital investment in 2012. The new positions, which companies anticipate to hire over the next five years, pay an expected average hourly wage of $21.77, above the state's current hourly wage of $19.74. The average amount of state conditional tax incentives offered to companies on a per job basis was $8,689, down from around $37,000 in previous administrations. Under the IEDC, state incentives are activated only when new jobs actually occur.
Automotive-related manufacturing represented the largest sector for new job commitments in 2012 with 7,180 new jobs projected. With 5,606 job commitments, the business services industry represented the second largest sector of new growth followed by the non-automotive manufacturing sector with 5,602 projected new jobs. Job commitments for other sectors include: logistics (2,388), food production (2,022), life sciences (1,606) and information technology (1,589).
"From its falling corporate tax rate and recently enacted right-to-work legislation to its overall fiscal stability, these results are proof that companies find Indiana one of the most attractive places to create jobs," said Dan Hasler, Secretary of Commerce and chief executive officer of the IEDC.
Since Daniels established the IEDC in early 2005, the agency has worked with 1,474 companies to locate or expand their operations in the state. The agency secured job commitments totaling 19,080 in 2011, 23,152 in 2010, 19,955 in 2009,18,627 in 2008, 22,627 in 2007, 21,995 in 2006 and 15,523 in 2005. Collectively, these companies have committed to create more than 168,500 projected new jobs and invest more than $34.23 billion in their Indiana operations.
The IEDC continues to conduct and publish an annual performance review of all companies, in cooperation with international auditing firm, Crowe Horwath, LLC. These companies indicated that, by the end of 2011, they had planned to add 63,063 new jobs. During the review, the companies collectively reported adding 48,120 new jobs through 2011, which equates to 76 percent of their scheduled projections. The IEDC will formally present these results again at its next public quarterly board meeting. For historical performance data, continue to visit the IEDC's website.
Indiana continues to garner national accolades for its competitive business climate. In 2012, both Chief Executive magazine and Pollina Corporate rated the Hoosier State best in the Midwest for business and fifth best in the country. Indiana ranks fifth best nationally for business friendliness and seventh for cost of living by CNBC. Area Development magazine also ranked the state eighth in the nation for its business climate and Indiana is one of only nine states to have triple-A credit ratings from all three reporting agencies: Standard & Poor's, Fitch and Moody's.
About IEDC
Created by Governor Mitch Daniels in 2005 to replace the former Department of Commerce, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is governed by a 12-member board chaired by Governor Daniels. Dan Hasler serves as the chief executive officer of the IEDC.
The IEDC oversees programs enacted by the General Assembly including tax credits, workforce training grants and public infrastructure assistance. All tax credits are performance-based. Therefore, companies must first invest in Indiana through job creation or capital investment before incentives are paid. A company who does not meet its full projections only receives a percentage of the incentives proportional to its actual investment. For more information about IEDC, visit www.iedc.in.gov.

We're glad we wore our deodorant on Saturday, such was the sweat factor at The Standard Hotel, where Purple Magazine double teamed it with Zac Posen for one of Fashion Week's most perspiration-inducing parties. Having enjoyed another "P" before in the form of Prabal Gurung's dance-off, our Belvedere soaked brains (and spilled-on pant leg) needed a minute to adjust to a crush of front-row girls and guys spilling across both the Boom Boom Room and Le Bain. Everywhere you looked Olivier Zahm was posing for pictures, cigarette in one hand, bottle of vodka in another, while Jared Leto's poncho never quite left our field of vision. Add a leather-daddied up Cator Sparks and a gyrating Paz de la Huerta, and raunchy glam had officially arrived. We managed to stay relatively dry by the pool table, where Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" lyrics suddenly seemed to make a lot more sense.

In light of Sandy Hook Elementary's shooting in Newtown, Conn., thoughts are still bouncing around in the minds of parents: is my child safe?
"And every parent knows there is nothing we will not do to shield our children from harm. And yet, we also know that with that child's very first step, and each step after that, they are separating from us; that we won't – that we can't always be there for them. They'll suffer sickness and setbacks and broken hearts and disappointments. And we learn that our most important job is to give them what they need to become self-reliant and capable and resilient, ready to face the world without fear," said President Barack Obama in his address of the Newtown, Conn. shooting.
Close to home
The Creston Schools administration met Dec. 17 and reviewed the school policies.
"The principals and I did visit," said interim Superintendent Chuck Scott, "... and we've taken the position that if children bring it up, we should answer the questions as best we can and with specific facts. If children want to pursue it beyond that, then we strongly encourage them to visit with their parents."
One thing strongly emphasized by many educators was the students needed to be put back into a schedule as soon as possible.
"(One) thing that we did was be highly visible on that first day. Since our earliest grades, our youngest children in this building, I went up to the office and they gave me a smiley face sticker to indicate I'm a friendly person, and I purposely walked the hallways and I walked in the lunchroom wih children eating just to show them that this is a safe place," said Scott.
Scott said the Department of Education and the Governor's office sent emails in a timely fashion with things everyone should be thinking about from the standpoints of the superintendent, principal and teacher.
"Schools are a safe environment, they know there are friendly people here and children will be protected in the event that something goes wrong," said Scott. "We also pride ourselves in being consistent, whch means, 'Welcome back to school, it's Monday morning. Let's get down to the task at hand.' For the children that need some additional emotional attention, we're there for them, too."
Creston Elementary School
Immediately Monday morning, Creston Elementary School Principal Brad Baker sent out an email focusing on two things: ensuring the students were safe and that they felt safe, and to get them back into a normal routine.
"I think the governor put it best: regardless of how well prepared you are, it doesn't ensure an incident like that will not occur," said Baker. "And I think that's the life we live in, but I also think that we have to make sure that we live, not in fear, and move on, and remember obviously our minds and our hearts are in it with the Connecticut people."
One point Baker made was the school did not want to address it with the students, but rather preferred the parents to discuss it with their children. He also said there are guidance counselors and success coordinators at the elementary school, as well as at the other buildings.
"Peace begins within," said Jane Shantz, success coordinator at Creston Elementary School. "It starts wth each and every one of us being nice to each other and treating each other with kindness, and that's what we can do."
Creston High School
"I think everybody was just kind of in disbelief," said Creston High School Principal Bill Messerole. "I couldn't believe it when I saw it, but I couldn't believe Columbine either."
Messerole said after the Columbine shooting, where 12 students and one teacher were killed at Columbine High School in Colorado, intruder drills became much more important.
"I think generally parents are asking the same questions we are: do we have a plan in place?" said Messerole. "Can our plan be improved, is it a good plan, is it enough? I think those are all questions the community asks when something like this happens."
Currently, the schools do have drills and reminders for the students and teachers to review. The teachers have a crisis plan which they review during drills.
"Unfortunately it's a sad reminder of what takes place in our society," Messerole said.
Security measures
Currently, Creston High School has in place security cameras throughout the building, and there are discussions about adding more. Also, visitors must stop by the main office and sign in before continuing on into the building.
At Creston Elementary School and Creston Middle School, visitors must sign in and wear a visitor's sticker if walking around the building.
Every school building has all the doors locked except for the main doors, and someone is always monitoring who is coming in.
"You have to balance between 'This is a welcoming environment, we're glad you came, walk right in,' versus 'Are we at the point where we have to go to the security system and buzz them in?'" said Scott.
The Creston Schools website, www.crestonschools.org, is updated frequently with relevant information for each building.
Creston Schools also has "School Reach," a program that lets parents and students know what is going on in Creston School District via text message, phone message and email. To sign up, call the administration office at 641-782-7028.

Scholarship Search Tips
- Include private resources in the search – KFC, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, and Wal-Mart all offer scholarships.
- Research local businesses and state opportunities. Sometimes the best opportunity is right in your neighborhood.
- Be persistent and don't give up. Applying regularly gives you more of a chance than not applying at all (or waiting for one big scholarship).
- Carefully read and understand the rules and requirements of the scholarship for which you are applying.
- Stay positive! This is a long-distance marathon, not a sprint. Be creative, be upbeat, and keep working to uncover the right scholarship.

Graduate Scholarships and Assistantships
All scholarship and assistantship applications (pdf) should be received by March 1 for the following academic year.
Enrolled graduate students may be awarded a variety of assistantships for both the first and second year of study. A graduate assistant will be assigned to work with a faculty member to assist in teaching a course or in conducting research. Typical assistantships require five to ten hours of work per week, and result in a taxable tuition stipend that is generally equal to the pay of a part-time job. Assistantships are awarded in the spring semester for the following academic year and must be renewed on a yearly basis. Applications for assistantships may be submitted with the admissions packet or to the Graduate Studies office.
Decisions regarding the awarding of assistantships are made by the program coordinator and leadership team. The assistantships are awarded based upon the following criteria:
• Strong academic record,
• Skills and strengths of the applicant, and
• Availability for service.
When awarded an assistantship, the student will be notified in writing regarding the dollar amount of the assistantship that will be applied to tuition, the semesters of expected service, the number of hours to be worked, and the faculty supervisor.
Common Scholarship Myths
Senior year is the best time to start my scholarship search.
In fact, the junior year of high school is an ideal time to start the search – the sooner, the better. Many scholarships repeat year after year, so you can get a head start on seeing what will be available.
Scholarships are only for the top scholars and athletes.
Contrary to popular belief, not all scholarships take grades or athletic ability into consideration. It is a good idea to make a list of your family's cultural, geographic, religious, and ethnic affiliation, hobbies, musical or dramatic capabilities. The broader the search criteria, the better your chances of finding one or more matches.
It's too late for me; I'm not a high school student.
There are scholarships at every stage of your education, whether undergraduate, graduate or returning adult student.
Most awards are so small they're not even worth the effort.
What is "so" small? $500? or $1,000? Nothing says that you can only win one scholarship. If you apply for several scholarships, that $1,000 could turn into $5,000 or more. In addition, even if you only get a small amount, that's money that you will not need to borrower (with interest).
The competition is too intense; I don't stand a chance.
Remember you have as good a chance of succeeding as anyone. In fact, just by carefully following rules to the letter, and answering questions thoughtfully and correctly, you are ahead of many applicants who do a sloppy job or overlook important criteria.
I don't know where to even begin; it's all too much for me.
When starting a scholarship campaign, it's all about the search. Here are some pointers:
- Beware of the scholarship scam. Avoid scholarship databases that charge candidates to register or charge a large processing fee, companies that claim to do all the work for the applicant, or out-of-the-blue announcements sent to a candidate about winning a scholarship for which they did not apply.
- There are many resources out there for searching. Utilize the links we have provided above or visit our outside scholarships page.

1.Just wondering. If I sign up to gold membership my account is billed for a year and apparently automatically runs over to bill me for the following year if I don't cancel. If I do want to cancel at the end of the year how do I do it? Will I receive any notification before another amount is taken from my account?
2. Are the times for the closing of challenges that appear on the site (for me in Australia) as EST times in eastern US or Australian EST? I assume the former. Is that correct? If so I'll have to work out how to count back from our time here.
Thanks. Blessings.

Right now, Elvis tribute artists around the world are competing for the ultimate title by showcasing their "best representation of the legacy of Elvis Presley." Preliminary rounds for the 2015 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest have already started and Elvis tribute artists are qualifying. See a complete list of preliminary rounds.
Elvis tribute artists from around the world are invited to participate in preliminary rounds going on through August 2015 for their chance to proceed to the Semifinal Round during Elvis Week 2015 in Memphis. The only way an Elvis tribute artist can advance to the Semifinal Round will be by winning an official preliminary round. Elvis fans are invited to attend the preliminary rounds that are held at festivals and various venues throughout the world.
In 2007, EPE announced their inaugural event in which they were looking for the "best representation of the legacy of Elvis Presley." Twenty-four of the best ETAs from around the world traveled to Memphis during Elvis Week 2007 to compete, with Shawn Klush of Pennsylvania winning the first-ever ultimate title.
In response to the excitement generated by the 2007 contest, Elvis Presley Enterprises has brought the contest back every year since. Brandon Bennett from Louisiana won the ultimate title during Elvis Week 2008, Bill Cherry from Illinois won in 2009, Justin Shandor from Michigan won in 2010, Cody Slaughter of Arkansas took home the 2011 title, Ben Portsmouth from England was crowned the 2012 winner, Dean Z took home the 2013 title and Jay Dupuis is the 2014 champion.
The contest in Memphis will include a Semifinal Round and a Final Round during Elvis Week 2015. All preliminary winners will compete in the Semifinal Round, with the top 10 Elvis tribute artists moving onto the Final Round.
The top three winners of the Final Round of the competition will receive a great cash prize along with a selection of other valuable prizes.
In 2007, when EPE launched the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, we were in search of the Elvis tribute artist who 'best represents the legacy of Elvis Presley.' As the contest continues, we will continue to search for the Elvis tribute artist who best represents Elvis in the area of Vocals, Style, Stage Wear and Stage Presence.
For the Semifinal and Final Rounds of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest during Elvis Week, the accounting firm of Dixon Hughes Goodman oversees the scoring and tabulation of the contest judging. Having Dixon Hughes Goodman as the official auditor of the event assures that the tabulation is held to the highest standards of integrity and objectivity.
Elvis tribute artists competing during the Semifinal and Final Round in Memphis are all judged using the same scoring sheet. Each of the judging criteria is scored on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest score. Vocals will count for 40% of the score. Style, Stage Wear and Stage Presence each count as 20%. Download a PDF of the scoring sheet.
Judges for the 2015 preliminary rounds of the contest will be chosen by each individual contest organizer. Once they are selected, judges' names are required to be submitted to EPE for final approval.
All Elvis tribute artists competing must adhere to the Official Rules and Guidelines of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest. Any Elvis tribute artist who is unable to meet and adhere to these rules and guidelines will be disqualified from the contest. Get a complete list of the 2015 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest Rules and Guidelines.

En español | Returning to work is an economic necessity for some retirees and a personal choice for others. Either way, the prospect of long commutes and annoying coworkers can be daunting. A good compromise might be to find a work-at-home job.
Sign up for the AARP Money Newsletter
That's what Jackie Booley did. In 2007, she retired from her position as an AT&T call center manager. Her husband had recently died from chronic kidney failure, and Booley, then 61, was exhausted from serving as his primary caregiver while holding down full-time employment.
But retirement proved to be short-lived. Two years later, with energy restored and her nest egg depleted, she found a part-time job that allowed her to work from home. Now, when you dial Office Depot's toll-free number, you may be speaking with Booley in the spare bedroom of her Ocala, Fla., home.
She doesn't work for the office-supply retailer, however. Rather, Booley is employed by Sykes Home, a call center service headquartered in Tampa. Incoming calls to Office Depot are routed to her home office. Sykes has 7,500 work-at-home customer service agents in 2,000 cities.
Booley logs in about 24 hours each week at $9 an hour, answering questions and processing orders. Plus, she contributes 5 percent of her earnings to Sykes' 401(k) employee-retirement plan, which her employer matches 100 percent. "Thanks to the plan, I'm now rebuilding my nest egg," Booley says.
"I absolutely love it," she says of her work-at-home job. "It gives me flexibility. I feel like I'm my own boss, and I can fall out of bed and go to work in seconds."
Beware of work-at-home scams
Working at home has a nice ring to it — sometimes too nice. Work-at-home scams have been around for decades, but in the past few years, the Federal Trade Commission has seen the number of complaints nearly double.
Two glaring red flags to look out for: jobs touted via email that promise to pay more than you ever dreamed, and firms that charge you a fee to obtain more information about a job. "Payment for the privilege of working is rarely acceptable, in our view," says Christine Durst, an Internet fraud and safety expert and cofounder of RatRaceRebellion.com, a website that screens job leads on home-based jobs.
That said, there are legitimate work-at-home jobs in customer service and other fields, but you'll need to do legwork to avoid scams. Here are five jobs to consider. Pay ranges, which will vary based on experience and other factors, are primarily derived from employers and U.S. Department of Labor data.
1. Customer Service Representative
The nitty-gritty: You must have an up-to-date computer (usually a PC), a high-speed Internet connection, a dedicated landline telephone during business hours, a telephone headset and a quiet place to work.
In general, you're answering incoming calls, taking new orders and tracking existing orders. In some cases, you'll troubleshoot and help out with technical support. Online chat sessions and email may be part of the job. You'll need to toggle seamlessly between several computer screen windows at a time. Employers usually offer paid training sessions.
The solitary work demands a good dose of "get up and go" gumption and discipline to keep from being distracted. And don't skimp on buying a comfortable, ergonomically safe chair and headset. Remember, it's tax-deductible if you're an independent contractor.
Potential employers, including Hilton Hotels, American Airlines and 1-800-Flowers.com, might hire directly. Others use third-party companies who then hire home-based workers. In addition to Sykes, other virtual call center operators include Convergys, LiveOps, Arise, West at Home and Working Solutions.
The hours: Full-time, part-time and split shifts are available. Employers may require at least 20 hours a week, plus weekend slots.
Median pay range: The typical hourly rate is about $9, but workers can earn more than $20 an hour with incentives and bonuses. Some firms provide health, vision and dental benefits, or access to group plan rates. Paid vacation and matching 401(k) plans may be a perk, but you'll have to clock in enough hours to be eligible.
Qualifications: Job descriptions typically call for customer care or technical support experience. Think broadly. Prior experience in a retail store as a bank teller or in sales might suffice. Typically, an online test and a phone interview are required. Background, drug and credit checks are standard. Some firms charge $30 to $45 for such screens.

Did you know that agriculture itself could scarcely have evolved eons ago without the recycling abilities of the pig? Yet fewer and fewer farmers raise even a single pig these days. Here are some quirky, interesting facts about our smelly little friends.
- No barnyard animal has a better nose, yet none produce more odoriferous manure.
- The pig has cloven hooves—an adaptation shared with flighty prey animals like the sheep, deer, and antelope—yet no barnyard animal displays as much swagger or is less afraid.
- No animal is said to be smarter, yet pigs will stay out in the sun so long that they'll repeatedly end up with second-degree sunburns.
- The pig is the friendliest animal on the farm by far: always available for a scratch behind the ears, hardly ever moody, and quick with a grunt of delight. Yet the pig would also eat you for supper, if circumstances were right. Pigs are the only meat-eating animals that we humans, in turn, raise for meat.
- The pig is said to be the cleanest animal on the farm, yet every child knows that a pig will roll in a mud puddle at the first opportunity.
- Pigskin (the traditional covering of a football) is one of the toughest and most useful of animal hides, yet a pig's skin is extremely sensitive to temperature and injury.
- Some breeds of pigs grow ferocious-looking tusks yet dine primarily on roots and vegetables.
- The fastest member of the pig family is the warthog, which can reach speeds of 35 MPH.
- Though "pigging out" is synonymous with gluttony, the stomach of a pig is proportionately much smaller than that of a sheep or a cow.
- Looking for how to find out how much your pig weighs? Measure its girth (in inches) by wrapping a tape measure around the animal just behind the front legs. Then measure the length from the ears to the base of the tail. The pig's weight (in pounds) will be equal to the square of the girth, times the length, divided by 400. If math isn't your thing, buy a hog tape at the feed store; the calculations are built in.
Most farmers raise pigs just during the summer, buying shoats in the spring; fattening them up with grain, greens, and leftovers during the summer; and slaughtering a mature hog in the fall. A few pigs make the cut and go on to live long lives as smart, beloved pets—a development that from an old farmer's perspective, and like the pig itself, doesn't make any sense at all.

We'd like to encourage customers to brew any of our coffees using any brewing method!
If you're specifically looking for coffees originally created for espresso brewing, you'll find those listed as Year-Round products. And, again, we'd definitely encourage you to consider any coffee we offer appropriate for any brewer.
Idido - 12 oz bagThis first lot from the Idido cooperative in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, represents a select group of 200 of the most dedicated farmers in the co-op. These farmers turn in their best cherries at the peak of harvest for this washed, special preparation coffee. Look for floral, melon, and citrus notes. Learn more$18.00
Haru - 12 oz bagDowntown Yirgacheffe sits in a small valley. Up at almost the peaks on either side are the communities and cooperatives of Idido and Haru. We have been buying coffee from both of these places for years, and, even though geographically they're close, they have distinct and impressive profiles. This lot was produced exclusively for us by the Haru cooperative and is distinctly tea-like—brimming with elegant floral notes and lemongrass. Learn more$17.50
Los Rosales - 12 oz BagWith a climate influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the region of Nariño, Colombia, is a special place that is known for great coffees. It is there—in particular the towns of Buesaco and Tablón de Gómez—that the Cafés Especiales cooperative members focus on selections of their Caturra variety for this stunning lot with notes of black cherry, plum, and milk chocolate. Learn more$17.25
Sweet Valley High – 12 oz boxLimited-Release
The Haru and Idido cooperatives are just a few miles apart on either side of a small valley. While these co-ops sometimes seem like twins, they certainly exhibit distinctive flavor profiles. On one side, at around 1,900 meters in elevation and predominantly Wolisho variety, Haru brings crisp florals and tea notes to this great blend, while Idido, slightly higher in elevation and predominantly Kudhume variety, brings citric fruit notes and a juicy sweetness. Learn more$17.25
Cipresales – 12 oz boxSingle-Community Lot
In collaboration with Counter Culture, the La Voz cooperative—based around Lake Atitlán in Guatemala—selected unique, small community lots to spotlight. The first of these selections, from Cipresales, is a beautiful coffee that showcases clean and sweet notes of brown sugar, pecan, and crisp pear. Learn more$16.50
Kamavindi - 12 oz boxSingle-Variety Lot
"Inspired" and "passionate" do not begin to describe the Mbature family, the owners of the Kamavindi farm. This year, they improved their processing and picked only their SL-28 variety for this exclusive lot. This coffee is everything you would expect from the legendary SL-28: big sweet-and-savory flavors of blackberry, currants, and citrus fruits. Learn more$18.50
Finca El Puente - 12 oz bagFinca El Puente is a special coffee that is truly close to our hearts. We encountered it on our very first trip to Honduras, fell in love with it then, and have been head over heels ever since. Moisés Herrera and Marysabel Caballero—the couple who run the farm—have become like family, and this year they continued the tradition of refining an already-great coffee.

Okay, I *feel* this can be done - but I'm wondering if I can avoid using a remote desktop (that's the obvious method, to me, at least).
The scenario:
My ISP (TalkTalk in the UK) doesn't provide a static IP. I'd have to migrate to their Business Broadband, which will cost me about double my current monthly charge and the only thing I'll gain is a static IP.
I could jump ship and sign up to another ISP. That will also mean paying more than I do now, plus I'll have the stress and worry of transferring to another provider - who I may then find doesn't provide good service.
All I need is a static IP - or access to someone else's static IP via a remote connection maybe. Perhaps this is a rubbish idea and there's a much better way.
The requirement is that I need to access a database on someones server and they will only allow me to do so if I have a static IP. This is related to potential future work for me - so, I need to make the effort to get the new IP but I'd really like to keep it cost effective too.
A remote desktop would work, but it seems a bit clumsy to me; because I'd also have to allow for the bandwidth of the remote desktop display coming to me - I've only got a 1 meg line so it's not ideal for such things.
So, is there a way I can connect to the remote PC, use its static IP (well, the IP of the router at the location) but avoid using a remote desktop.
I suppose the idea is like using a proxy - but it's one that will provide me with the very same static IP every time I need to access the specific database/server.

If you missed our live online chat with Elinor Ginzler, former AARP vice president for health and current senior director for supportive services at the Jewish Council for the Aging in Rockville, Md., read the below transcript of the conversation.
Comment From Marisol: Who can I turn to to help me sort out the interconnected financial and medical decisions I need to make to care for my infirm mother — decisions that also require a keen understanding of government programs (Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and Disability)? Do I need a financial adviser, elder attorney and a geriatric care manager?
See also: Important resources for caregivers.
Elinor Ginzler: You are so right to describe these decisions as "interconnected." They really are — you might not need all the professions you mention — the most important thing is to find an elder care professional that you can relate to and that you trust. The bar association for your area can provide names of attorneys who specialize in elder care law. Geriatric care managers are often a good place to start — check with the National Association of Geriatric Care Managers to find one near you. They not only understand aging issues, they also often have good contacts with other professionals.
Comment From Terrie: I am absolutely baffled on how to deal with my husband's wandering. He suffered a brain injury, but is physically fit. When he starts to wander, no amount of cajoling, distraction, logic or authoritative approach work. Last night, I found him walking at 4:30 a.m., barefoot and shirtless in the rain on a major road. I am concerned for his safety, and that of motorists. Please Help.
Elinor Ginzler: You are certainly dealing with a very difficult situation — how scary it must be for you when he wanders. If this only happens at night, consider talking to physicians about some medication to help him sleep and keep him safe. If locking doors does not work at your home — it might be time to consider alternative living arrangements. You cannot stay awake and alert 24 hours a day — other living arrangements (such as an assisted living residence) have an array of staff on duty to cover all the hours of the day and night.
Comment From Sharon: My mother has given me medical power of attorney. My question is: Does this also cover situations such as deciding to move my mom closer to where I live so that I can check on her every day if she were to be in a hospital or a nursing home? What if she needed around-the-clock home care? Does medical power of attorney cover that?

Experience The Polar Express 3D in new Digital Adventure Theater, Build Your Own Gingerbread House, Enroll Kids in Winter Break Camps and Enjoy Live Musical Performances
Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012 - Sunday, Jan. 6, 2013
ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 20, 2012) – Kids are out of school and families are home for the holidays; what better gift than to partake in festive activities at Orlando Science Center? From Dec. 19 to Jan. 6, the Science Center has just what the family needs to get in the yuletide spirit with showings of The Polar Express 3D in the new Digital Adventure Theater, build-your-own gingerbread house workshops, winter break camps and performances by handbell ensembles.
The Polar Express 3D
The newly christened Digital Adventure Theater will be showing The Polar Express 3D, the computer-animated fantasy film based on the children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. The story revolves around Billy (Hayden McFarland), who longs to believe in Santa Claus but finds it difficult to do so with his family's dogged insistence that all of it – from the North Pole, to the elves, to the man himself – is all just a myth. The film also features the motion capture performance of Academy Award Winner Tom Hanks. It will screen daily between Dec. 21 and Jan. 6.
Build-Your-Own Gingerbread House Workshops
Leading up to Christmas, guests can participate in a build-your-own gingerbread house workshop in Dr. Dare's Laboratory! From now to Dec. 23, families can purchase a kit for $12 that includes graham crackers, icing, candy canes and more – everything you need to have the best gingerbread house on the block. That's because whatever you make can be taken home with you… unless it's eaten beforehand!
Winter Break Camps
Parents who can't stay at home while the kids are out of school can enroll them in winter break camps! From Dec. 26 to Dec. 28, youths in kindergarten through fifth grade can experience chilly-themed camps and from Dec. 31 to Jan. 4, they can learn about physics. These camps offer kids a chance to learn more about science and technology in a safe, exciting and interactive environment.
Handbell Ensembles
And performing your favorite holiday hits are the Magic of Bronze and the Epiphany Bell Ringers at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 22 and Sunday, Dec. 23, respectively. These handbell ensembles are sure to get folks in a jolly mood.
Cost and Hours
See The Polar Express 3D in the Digital Adventure Theater and enjoy the handbell ensembles with admission to the Science Center, which is $27 for adults and $20 for youth (ages 3-11). With admission, purchase a kit for $12 and build your own gingerbread house in Dr. Dare's Laboratory. And enroll your child in a winter break camp for one day at $60; two days at $110; three days at $155; four days at $190; and five days at $230.
The Science Center will be closed Monday, Dec. 24 and Tuesday, Dec. 25. The building will be open normal hours the rest of the holidays.

We learn at a young age that what goes up must come down, which may explain why we feel such shock and awe at the gas station these days. Up, up, up and so far just a hint of down.
If you want to write an angry letter, send it to Moammar Gaddafi. He's the one who helped set off a rise in global oil prices months ago — faced with a rebellion against his years of dictatorship, he launched armed attacks that disrupted oil fields and tanker ports on the Mediterranean.
This year, gas breached $4 a gallon nationwide — and just as the economy is trying to dust itself off and stagger to its feet.
Short of applying for a job at OPEC, there isn't anything you can do to lower the cost of gas, but we can all stretch our fuel dollars. So we sought out some experts to give us a rundown on the best ways to save at the pump.
- Lose weight. Not you — the car. Bob Toth, director of new products and innovation for Goodyear, suggests emptying the trunk of excess junk or removing a luggage or bicycle rack that usually goes unused. "You can save 1 to 2 percent of your fuel by getting rid of an extra 100 pounds," Toth says.
- Keep your speed down. Most vehicles "have their best efficiency at 40 to 50 miles an hour," says Roger Clark, a fuel economy engineer at General Motors. "Every 10 miles an hour above those speeds, you lose four miles a gallon." So if you can take a rural road with few or no traffic lights, your gas tank is better off than being on a high-speed freeway.
- Do all your errands in one trip. You'll save if you group them together rather than doing one in the morning and another in the evening. It takes a lot of gas to start a cold engine and get it running at peak efficiency. Which isn't to say you need to sprint into a store and out lest your engine lose its heat. You can do a leisurely shop. "It takes a couple hours for your engine to cool down," Clark says.
- Avoid idling. In 2009, Phil Reed, the senior consumer advice editor at the car guide Edmunds.com, found in tests that drivers who cut idling to no more than one minute can typically make their gas last 19 percent longer. "Looking for ways to reduce excessive idling is an untapped area of fuel savings, whether it's people crawling through crowded drive-up windows or parents waiting to pick up their kids from school," Reed says. "If you are parked safely, shut it down — and save money."

The Oakton softball team was just three outs away from securing the Northern Region championship on Saturday against Lake Braddock — but a final out was never recorded.
Stone Bridge staged a three-run, bottom of the seventh inning rally to claim a 5-4 victory and the title at James Madison High School in Vienna.
Allison Davis, who was recognized before the game as the region's Pitcher of the Year, took the loss, but was victimized by a costly miscue and a questionable call in the final inning.
"I thought she pitched great," Oakton coach Ray Gordon said. "That's the best hitting team in the Northern Region. Really we probably should have held them to two or three runs, but we made a couple errors. Allison had maybe three balls hit hard off her."
The Cougars committed an infield error to start the seventh, which was followed by a single. Two batters later, Davis was protecting a one-run lead — with a runner on third — when a one-hopper came right back at her.
The sophomore pitcher snared it and got the Stone Bridge baserunner into a rundown. After two throws, the play became a race for the plate between the runner and third baseman Hayley French.
Both players dove, with French's glove applying the tag just as the runner reached home. The call went Stone Bridge's way, tying the score and keeping the game alive.
Moments later, Sydney Broderick slapped an RBI single, stunning the Cougars and their fans.
"They're hurt right now. We had this game. But a lot of it's on us. We made two baserunning blunders that hurt us," Gordon said.
Emily Krisandra hit a two-run home run in the third inning to put the Cougars up 3-2. The lead was upped to 4-2 in the sixth on consecutive doubles by Amanda Krage and French.

As we are approaching the end of the fiscal year, June 30, it is time to think about winding down your financial activities so that the Business Office may adequately prepare for the closing of the current budget period. Purchases should be kept to only those items or services absolutely necessary for the remainder of the fiscal year. Otherwise, you should wait until July 1 to place new orders.
It is imperative that you avoid special vendor arrangements whereby orders are placed now and invoices are mailed to Rosemont after July 1.
Please review, resolve, and approve all requests for payment (RFP) and travel reimbursement requests pertaining to fiscal year 2012-2013 (FY-2013). These documents should be delivered to Accounts Payable via the SciQuest portal within 2 business days of receipt of the invoice or the return date. Also, be sure to send the original invoice to Accounts Payable via interoffice mail.
In order to avoid processing delays, please make sure each RFP has the correct general ledger account numbers and amounts. The account numbers should be entered on the appropriate SciQuest form and are entered again (by design) during the checkout process.
All forms being processed after June 30 must be clearly marked with the appropriate fiscal year for which the disbursement pertains. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require us to record transactions in the proper fiscal period. For the most part, orders for goods placed and/or services rendered on or before midnight, June 30, 2013 must be recorded as expense in FY-2013. You should indicate this on the Reason line of the RFP form by entering "2012-13" or "2013-14" for each line item being processed.
If you are requesting payment prior to June 30 for services that will be provided in the upcoming fiscal year 2013-2014 (FY-2014), the payment will be charged automatically to an appropriate prepaid expense account for the current budget year. Simply indicate on the RFP form that this is a 2013-2014 expense.
Prepayment of FY-2014 expenses will not affect the current fiscal year's expense line items. We will charge the expense to your FY-2014 budget. This is particularly important for memberships, dues, subscriptions, trips, and events where the payment covers two or more budget periods or the event takes place after midnight June 30, 2013.
If you have any questions, please contact Ron Laher at extension 2593.

Series: A Tale of Three Creationists (3 entries)
In this three part series, Dennis Venema introduces and highlights Todd Wodd—a biologist who validates evolution as a credible theory, yet rejects the theory itself on a Biblical basis. In other words, Wood is a Young Earth Creationist. Despite their different perspectives, however, both he and Venema offer similar scientific critiques of arguments made by Reasons To Believe (RTB) including their view that physical, anatomical and genetic similarities as well as shared pseudogenes do not imply common ancestry between two organisms. The careful evaluations made by both Venema and Wood demonstrate the scientific weaknesses in RTB's theories.
