Beverly J. Luther is a first-year at Wellesley College. She is president of her class and says that she feels involved in the college community. And she says that all of her professors know her well.
Beverly's twin sister, Betty C. Luther '03, is a first-year at Harvard, but is not as confident as her sister about the resources available to her. While she thinks that professors certainly make themselves available to students, it might require extra effort to talk to them. At Harvard, she says, students need to take the initiative.
And while Harvard's active extra-curricular scene is overflowing with culture and student organizations, the talents of fellow classmates may prevent some students from getting involved, Betty says.
Wellesley is a relatively small, female, liberal arts college. Harvard is a large research university. It is no surprise that the two elite schools offer students a very different bang for their buck.
While Harvard has more physical resources--libraries, museums and research facilities--to offer, students who have attended both colleges say there are tradeoffs that come with Harvard's immensity.
Junior Victoria G. Fox, a Wellesley student spending a semester at Harvard, says that Harvard has all the information that students could ever need--the difficulty is in putting that information to use.
"There really is an incredible amount of physical resources at Harvard, but it's a bit frustrating to try and find the correct information," Fox says. "At Wellesley, the resources available are more accessible."
Julia B. Silvis '02 agrees. Silvis transferred to Harvard after spending her first year at Wellesley.

November 22, 2007 Construction on the nation's first new major airport in years is scheduled to begin next month in the Florida panhandle. Located in an ecologically sensitive area, the project has divided environmental groups. It's a case study of why it's so hard to build a new airport.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Cystic Fibrosis isolates of similar RAPD genotype exhibit diversity in biofilm forming ability in vitro

BMC Microbiology 2010, 10:38 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-10-38Published: 8 February 2010
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is considered to grow in a biofilm in cystic fibrosis (CF) chronic lung infections. Bacterial cell motility is one of the main factors that have been connected with P. aeruginosa adherence to both biotic and abiotic surfaces. In this investigation, we employed molecular and microscopic methods to determine the presence or absence of motility in P. aeruginosa CF isolates, and statistically correlated this with their biofilm forming ability in vitro.
Our investigations revealed a wide diversity in the production, architecture and control of biofilm formation. Of 96 isolates, 49% possessed swimming motility, 27% twitching and 52% swarming motility, while 47% were non-motile. Microtitre plate assays for biofilm formation showed a range of biofilm formation ability from biofilm deficient phenotypes to those that formed very thick biofilms. A comparison of the motility and adherence properties of individual strains demonstrated that the presence of swimming and twitching motility positively affected biofilm biomass. Crucially, however, motility was not an absolute requirement for biofilm formation, as 30 non-motile isolates actually formed thick biofilms, and three motile isolates that had both flagella and type IV pili attached only weakly. In addition, CLSM analysis showed that biofilm-forming strains of P. aeruginosa were in fact capable of entrapping non-biofilm forming strains, such that these 'non-biofilm forming' cells could be observed as part of the mature biofilm architecture.
Clinical isolates that do not produce biofilms in the laboratory must have the ability to survive in the patient lung. We propose that a synergy exists between isolates in vivo, which allows "non biofilm-forming" isolates to be incorporated into the biofilm. Therefore, there is the potential for strains that are apparently non-biofilm forming in vitro to participate in biofilm-mediated pathogenesis in the CF lung.

Planning a road trip this summer? Despite the sticker shock at the pump, my family will be taking a road trip this summer, and I'm hopeful that with a little planning, gas prices will be the only thing to leave me in tears during the trip. Here are my five favorite tips for surviving summer road trips.
3. But be ready to ignore it. Last year, I took a 12-hour road trip with my daughters and made two quick stops to hit the bathroom, stretch our legs and eat. Everything went exactly according to plan. A month later, we took what should have been a three-hour trip that turned into a five-hour slog. I knew we were in for it when my youngest daughter requested our first potty break before we got to the end of our block. But rather than fight it, we swung back around, let her use the bathroom at home and took more time for potty breaks along the way. Yes, it took a little longer, but in the end we still made it to our destination in time and by scrapping our original schedule, we saved ourselves hours of fighting and headaches.
5. Leave early. The very best thing you can do to make your road trip go smoothly is to leave as early as possible in the morning. Even if you and your kids are not "morning people," you will be doing yourselves a favor to get a few hours down the road while the traffic is light and everyone is a little quieter. That means having the car packed and gassed up the night before. You'll be glad you made the effort when you stop for breakfast and see how far you've already traveled.

Sierra Winter Chills Summer Tourism
TAHOE CITY, Calif.—One of the heaviest winter snow seasons in years is putting a chill on the Sierra Nevada's summer tourism, with lingering drifts forcing camping trips, rafting excursions and horseback rides to be canceled or postponed.
Although the snow has mostly melted in this Lake Tahoe resort town, snow at higher elevations is keeping many area campgrounds off-limits, and the two local rafting companies remained closed this week because water managers won't release sufficient lake water into the Truckee River until more snow melts downstream.
"This is devastating for us," said Aaron Rudnick, owner of Truckee River Raft Co., where about a dozen seasonal employees were on staff Tuesday, compared with as many as 87 during the busy season.
At the Sunnyside Restaurant and Lodge, which relies on its lakeside deck to draw diners, manager Raif Anderson said business was down 10% to 15% for May but warm weather in the past week meant June's numbers would likely be on par with last year's.
Two miles up the road, the Tahoe City Golf Course is still reeling from a series of spring snowstorms. The course, which normally kicks into full swing by early May, didn't open until May 28 and even was forced to close for several snow days in June.
"Mother Nature has a little noose around our neck, and she's calling the shots," co-owner Debbie Bechdolt said, adding that business was down almost 50% last month and about 25% so far in June.
From the Rockies to here in the Sierra, summer recreational activities are being put on hold after the mountains were buried under as much as double their normal snowpack. The mountains in California and Nevada also experienced an unusually cool spring that has slowed the normal melting.
The economic impact has rippled throughout the Sierras. At Lake Tahoe, where tourism is a $2 billion-a-year industry, "we have had a little bit of a slow start to our summer season," said Carol Chaplin, executive director of the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority. Among the big setbacks: A late-season snowstorm forced organizers of the Amgen Tour of California to cancel the first stage of the bicycle race, which had been set for May 15 at the alpine lake.
At Yosemite National Park, where the number of visitors was down 7.4% this year through May when compared with 2010, Christina Knapp said her family's horseback concession opened June 11—more than a month late—because of snow blocking the trails. Overnight camping still isn't possible. "We have gotten so many inquiries about people wanting to do overnight backcountry trips, and we just tell 'em we don't know," Ms. Knapp said.
Meanwhile, one of Yosemite's biggest attractions—hiking to the top of the 8,836-foot Half Dome—has been off limits because snow has prevented crews from putting up safety climbing cables, said park ranger Kari Cobb. Last year, the cables went up on June 16 and in 2009 on May 15. Ms. Cobb said the cables finally were going up Wednesday.
That disappointed Hillarie Christley of St. Louis, who had planned to hike Half Dome on June 18 with 13 other people from all over the country. They rerouted their trek to a different part of the park.
"It's sad because we've been training since February," said Ms. Christley, 30 years old, an occupational therapist, before embarking on her Yosemite trip. The excursion was part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Team in Training" program to raise money to help fight the diseases.
At the Boca Reservoir, north of Truckee, Katie Hanlon, 26, had hoped to celebrate a friend's birthday with a camping trip high in the mountains. After hearing about the snowpack, though, the campers settled for a temperate weekend of tanning on the reservoir's shore. "If you sit right in the sun long enough, you'll be able to cook," she said as they fought a gusty wind.

Nomura Employee Given Some Time To Ponder What He Would Have Done Differently In Having Fake Grenade Sent To Office
Nomura Holdings said it placed an employee on administrative leave who was responsible for bringing […]
Who Didn't Realize Sending Packages Containing Fake Grenades Was Something This Office Frowned Upon?
As you may have heard, earlier today, people working in 2 World Financial Center were evacuated from the building after a suspicious package was flagged by security. Initial reports claimed it contained a grenade; obviously this was cause for alarm and would have continued to be had the NYPD determined it to be an actual grenade and not a "grenade-like novelty item," mounted on a plaque with a sign that says "Complaint Dept. Pull Pin." Now that it's clear everyone is safe (and at least mildly buzzed), a few questions need answering.
1. Who sent this thing? Was it:
a) A person whose sense of humor involves putting something like the above (or a sign that reads "I can only please one person per day. Today isn't your day…and tomorrow don't look good either") on her desk.
b) An idiot friend of someone who works in the building.
c) An rival bank trying to disrupt Nomura trading
d) other
2. Assuming the item was purchased by someone working in the building, when do you think it dawned on him or her that they were responsible for having the building evacuated?
3. What will the consequences for the sender be, legal and professional? Senior Jailhouse Correspondent Matt puts the probability of prison time at 1.37 percent.

Skullcandy S2SYDA-008 Merge Earbud Headphones - Black/Chrome
" Upon initial listening with these buds, I was rather unimpressed as I heard the rather familiar bloated mid-bass, sharp highs, and lack of mids that SKDY's old line carried. Then I realized that I still had my source EQ'd to Vocal Booster. Changed over to R&B and wow, night and day difference. The Merge are greatly influenced by an EQ, with the R&B setting completely bring the..." --KodaO
Skullcandy Fix In Ear Headphone With 3 Button Remote - White / Chrome
"I've seen the Fix around with the standard SKDY set ups in RadioShack and other stores, but they were usually an unattractive 79.99$. I found them at TJ Maxx (Apparently always has Uptowns for 40$) and decided to throw the 15$ they were asking for them and try them out. They are awesome basshead buds!! They sound very good, no exaggerations. Seperation, imagery, soundstage are all..." --KodaO
Skullcandy S2TTBZ-BZ Titan Earbuds, (Black)
" i loved the sound quality. good for everything. not bloated bass, but if you threw on some bass-heavy music they would thump. yet if the music was not bass-heavy it was not intrusive. they look cool, and are made of a cool metal. iono what it is. get some complys for it. the wire is going. one of the buds is crackling in and out when the sire moves. " --Skoobs
Skullcandy INK'D Earbuds (Green)
"First of all, I gave these a 3 star mostly for their price. At about 9 bucks they are about the cheapest headphones around. I mean, who is going to pass up a deal like that. They are dirt cheap and really easy to find at about any store you can name. But you aren't reading this review just for there price. Lets check em out. Sound quality If your looking at from an..." --Bassbanger101
Skullcandy S2IKDZ-003 Ink'd 2.0 - Black/Black
"SO HERE WE GO I like em alot ,fun colors so each kid can have their own ,read no fighting, l ve read they sounded best of the three available and l agree clean sound over all ,not thumpy but clear bass!! Think these be great for rock tunes !! These are light and comfortable to wear and to put in .Semi flat cable is sturdy and tangle free and l got these for my teen NOW l think l want my own..." --drkrazyrich
Skullcandy INK'D Earbuds (Purple)
Anything you wear on your head affects your appearance. As an interim step toward face tattoo, consider grooving to the beat of your own drum with INK'D s. Rock hard, look good, stay mad at the world and save enough money to buy INK'D in all ten colors.

Skullcandy 50/50 - Headset ( in-ear ear-bud ) - white, chrome
" These are quite good sounding for the price. The sound is well balanced and nothing overpowers anything else. The design is also quite nice. The major flaw with this and most other Skullcandy products is that they pretty much break in a month. I treat my stuff well and these only survived for around 3 months. " --TheBrutux168

Sound and silence in perfect harmony! InMotion earphones with Etymotic Research technology deliver a perfect combination of near-perfect sound reproduction and dead-quiet noise isolation.

Skullcandy FMJ Earbuds / Headset (iPhone Compatible) - Black
" I compared these headphones to Titan. FMJ offers thicker bass if you are looking for that and I have heard from numorous sources that the FMJ's last a longer time as compared to the Titan. But I would rather scarifice durability for quality and personally my Titans have lasted longer than the FMJs. FMJ's lack comfort because of their long design. The noise generated by cord and..." --Pingupenguins

Diageo Reserve WORLD CLASS™ is the industry's most prestigious and respected mixology competition and was hosted in South Africa during August & September 2015. Alongside the competition was WORLD CLASS™ House, a pop‐up consumer facing event and venue, was open to the public to showcase experiences from World Class Spirits through a series of boutique cocktail bars, cantinas and a series of intimate and engaging master class experiences.
For three weeks our studios were completely taken over and renovated to create this WORLD CLASS™ House. After each studio had been transformed by a team of set builders even we had a hard time recognising our studios. It was absolutely incredible what they created in each of our different spaces.
Experiences included intimate tastings of premium whiskies such as Bulleit and exclusive digital mentoring from Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Seven brands were represented in the house and each had its own space and experiential activity to entertain guests.
Guests started their experience in our Church Studio, passing through the double doors on Roodebloem Road and starting at the WORLD CLASS™ Bar, a stylish cocktail bar showcasing the best that the Reserve Brand has to offer.
From here they could make their way through a doorway to meet the maker Tom Bulleit in a modern-day twist of his home, a Kentucky Hunting Lodge.
The Johnnie Walker Blue Label 'Symphony In Blue' lounge was set up in our Gallery space. Here visitors were taken through an intimately personal mentored tasting of the 6 main flavours of this amazing whisky with led by Johnnie Walker Global Brand Ambassador, Tom Jones. Using an innovative combination of theatre and cutting edge digital technology, the lounge allowed visitors the unique opportunity to step inside the extraordinary rare world of Johnnie Walker Blue Label through a rich blend of animation and live action film.
Between the Church and Hall studios is the courtyard which was covered with a canvas tarpaulin to create a cosy food court serviced by the Jack Rabbit mobile kitchen.
In one of the most striking changes, Tanqueray transformed our Hall Studio reliving the glamour and excitement of the roaring 1920s. Their resident barkeep Tom Aske was crafting martinis from the world's best gin, Tanqueray No. TEN, while the mesmerising Tanqueray Imperial Shaker added a twist to visitors Gin Fizz.
A pop‐up Cantina inspired by the region of Jalisco, the home of Tequila Don Julio, was erected in our parking lot and outside curve area. An authentic and luxurious experience pairing TDJ cocktails with Mexican street food served from the El Burro food truck.
For the Zacapa Room, our daylight Drive-In Studio was completely blacked-out to create a multi-sensory experience designed to bring to life the iconic home of the brand in Guatemala. Hosted by Zacapa Master Blender Lorena Vasquez and Global Brand Ambassador Rebecca Quinonez, guests will explore first-hand the sights, sounds and tastes of the place where Zacapa is aged and blended, 2,300 metres above sea level.
Upstairs in our Jett Studio was the of Ketel One Vodka experience – a journey through the Bloody Mary. Visitors got to come and explore this classic cocktail, exploring its key ingredients and flavour components. Having been walked through the building blocks of this iconic serve, guests got the chance to use their senses, defying the norm and created their very own bespoke Bloody Mary cocktail.
If you weren't fortunate enough to visit the WORLD CLASS House and want to see what it was like then take a look at this video put together by News24 on the opening night.

Recently our Drive-In Studio was recently transformed into a nail bar for part of Vodacom's Slaap Tiger TV commercial.
Rather than using the infinity curve they modified the kitchen area to resemble a retail environment and covered up the cupboards and door to complete the effect.

In the heart of trendy Woodstock is our Church building, which we converted into a photographic studio, but it is still available to hire as a wedding venue. With its varnished wooden floors, high ceilings and stained glass windows it still has all the grandeur and atmosphere of a church and can seat 150 guests comfortably.
Back in March this year Ayden & Lisa had their wedding ceremony here and Knit Together captured it all beautifully in these photographs. Click to enlarge

One of the great features of our photographic studios is that we are happy for you modify our studios to suit your shoot. Our buildings can even be used as locations whether you're looking for modern styling on our daylight side, or the character filled spaces of our Church and Hall studios.
A great example of how versatile our spaces are is how Plascon transformed the balcony of our daylight building at 43 Roodebloem Road to create four unique and completely different looks.

Some behind the scenes courtesy of Ricardo Koopman from a recent music video production in our Hall Studio. Of interest is the crane they used. There was some concern about its weight on our wooden floors, but with boards under the tracks to spread the load it wasn't a problem. The 8 metre high ceilings in our Hall studio also meant they could use the full range of the crane to get their shots.

In their first locally shot cover for 2015, ELLE Magazine SA photographed the stunning Brazilian twins Suzane and Suzana Massena, wearing knitted twinsets from Maxhosa by Laduma. Labelled the #SisterhoodIssue they decided to shake things up a little and shoot the cover on home turf, which was our Church Studio in Woodstock.
ELLE's junior fashion editor Nicole Newman had this to say about the shoot:
Why did you choose to shoot Suzane and Suzana Massena for the cover?
We chose to shoot the Massena twins because this was our sisterhood issue, and we wanted to convey something of the emotion and bond between sisters and friends.
Hair and make-up?
We decided to embrace their natural hair and keep their Afros – stylist Kevin Epstein differentiated their hair slightly but the girls are identical, so it's really difficult to tell! For the make-up, we wanted a vibrant and punchy look for the cover; make-up artist Algria Ferreira suggested a tangerine lip to add extra oomph.
What did the photographer bring to the cover?
Kristen-Lee Moolman shot the cover and she was as excited about it as we were and I think this comes through in the look, feel and energy of the cover shot.
Our Church photographic studio is 200m2 (18 x 11m) with a 5.5m x 6m x 7m high infinity curve as well as a dedicated make-up room making it perfect for a fashion shoot like this. Not to mention the sound system with iPod dock and free Wi-Fi so you can share those behind the scenes from your shoot.
Here is a behind-the-scenes video to see how the whole shoot came together in our Church Studio

Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Accepted OfferPositive Experience
I applied online. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub.
I was asked pretty basic normal questions. The manager interviewing me was really nice even though it was obvious I was nervous and that I had never done an interview before.
Interview Questions
- What are two weaknesses you have Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub.
The interview process was very simple. They mostly focused on what the job itself is like and will not make a case if you have little to no job experience. They inquire about your availability and make it simple to get hired. Very simple, very quick. I wish every interview was like this one.
Interview Questions
- What is your job experience, if any? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub (Easton, MA) in January 2015.
had a phone interview, got a call a week later. Then met a DM at a local location and talk about benefits and compensation. Then do a backround check and once you pass that you will get an offer of employment. then they do the backround investigation and you should take a day or 2 to think about weather or not you want the job and accept if you feel like you like it.
Interview Questions
- tell me something unique about yourself? 1 Answer
i did not have to negotiate
- Declined OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub (Waltham, MA) in January 2015.
I applied online and within a few days they called me in for an in-person interview. The general manager and the manager both interviewed me back to back. They asked me questions on why I was applying and if I wanted to grow with the company. The process was fairly easy, just basic questions about time commitment and background.
Interview Questions
- Why do you want to be a hostess? Where do you see yourself in the future? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub (Hingham, MA) in January 2013.
Was very easy. The manager was very two faced I accepted the job and then she became very disrespectful and rude. I later left the job due to the rudeness and disrespectfulness and it was the best decision I made. The interview process was an easy process just don't believe they are nice and would be awesome to work for right away you'll be very surprised!
Interview Questions
- There were no difficult questions Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub (Springfield, MA) in February 2011.
I walked into the Ninety-Nine in desperate need for a job. I requested an application and begin filling it out. Once complete, I requested the General Manager, so that I may turn in my application. As I was waiting for the GM, the District Manager enters the restaurant and strikes up a conversation with me. The DM asked me a few questions, about why I wanted to work at the Ninety-Nine and my experience working in the food industry. A few days later, I received a call from the GM, asking to come in for an interview. I went in the following day and the interview was conducted. I was asked several questions, most of which have slipped my mind at this point, however, I do recall the basic questions and the question of what was my favorite thing about the Ninety-Nine.
Interview Questions
- Have you dined at the Ninety-Nine, and if so, what's your favorite meal and why? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub (Holyoke, MA) in February 2011.
The application is filled out online. It is best you call the restaurant to follow up on your application. You will be interviewed by an assistant manager before you get to the general manager. If you pass the interview process you will fill out a personality profile to see if you are compatible with the company standards.
Interview Questions
- They asked how I would handle working with an employee who I did not get along with. Answer Question
- Accepted OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub (Fall River, MA) in June 2009.
I worked at another location and I was moving back to the area, I was worried about finding a job so I asked my manager if it would be possible to transfer to another store location. He got in contact with the manager of the new store I would be applying to, and I was set to have an interview. The general manager at the time sat down with me and ask me very personal questions. She asked me so why are you moving back home. I answered that I lived in the ___ for about 1 year and I just wanted to move back, and she said well why that really doesnt make sense so I HAD to tell her I could not afford to live in my apartment where I was at anymore so I was moving into a more affordable house. She then asked me what my plans were going to be with my career and if I was going to be with the 99 for many years to come. She asked me what I was going to school for and when I would be going back. She also asked me if I got along with the employees at the other location. She was very rude and judgmental.
Interview Questions
- Why are you moving here? 1 Answer
Just be yourself, dont take anything the manager may say to personally, you have to remember they will be working with that company for the rest of their life.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at 99 Restaurant & Pub (Dayville, CT) in January 2009.
Walked in before they first opened in 2009 and was invited to do an interview on the spot with one of the front end managers. I then did two more interviews in a row, one with the kitchen manager and the final ending with the district manager who offered me a job right after our interview.
Interview Questions
- Tell me something funny that has happened to you recently. Answer Question
I didn't negotiate as server wages are pretty much set in stone.
