ForumWatch: Rankings and MBA ApplicationsFrancesca Di Meglio
In the world of MBAs, it is a question as old as time, and there are as many responses as there are applicants. What role do various business school rankings (including those of Bloomberg Businessweek) play in an applicant's journey to B-school?
Judging from the discussions that have gone on over the years on the Bloomberg Businessweek Business School Forums, rankings are significant for some people. They will not consider schools that are ranked out of the top 10. Others have said they think fit is more important than actual ranking. (And that is the standard advice doled out by most admissions committee members.) Still, many people use the rankings as a starting point for researching business school.
There is a lot of disagreement about how much relevancy the rankings should have in admissions and the application process. Recently, we posed the question to forum participants. If you'd like to share your opinion, visit the "How much do rankings count?" discussion thread.
Editor's Note: This blog post is part of a series about discussions taking place on the Bloomberg Businessweek Business Schools Forum, where prospective MBA program applicants, current students, and recent alumni trade admissions tips, job hunting advice, and the occasional barbed comment. We invite you to join these discussions or start one of your own.

Comments about Marmot PreCip Full Zip Pants - Women's:
Bought one size larger to accommodate wearing over pants. Short women's sizes are offered. Wonderful product!
Comments about Marmot PreCip Full Zip Pants - Women's:
Marmot was the only source I could find for XS/short rain pants. At 4'8" I was thrilled to not have to shorten my rain pants which would have required removing and resewing the zippers at the leg openings.
Comments about Marmot PreCip Full Zip Pants - Women's:
I've owned 2 pairs of these rain pants. My first pair lasted several years and I was very happy with them. Eventually the NanoPro lining wore away in certain areas and any time I sat down on anything remotely wet, the water would get wicked into my inner layers and get me soaked. So I decided to get a new pair to replace my old one a little over a year ago. I'm not sure if they've changed the material they use or if I was using my pants more heavily but now I've run into the same problem after only owning this pair for a short time! I love marmot products, my favorite tent is from them, and I always recommend them to my friends and coworkers, but I'm not happy about how quickly the most advanced and important part of the rain pants deteriorates.
Comments about Marmot PreCip Full Zip Pants - Women's:
I bought these pants to take on a trip to Patagonia where the wind is fierce, and I am so glad I did. They kept the wind from penetrating and kept me dry as well. I could put them on and off over my boots because of the generous zippers.
Comments about Marmot PreCip Full Zip Pants - Women's:
I walked three days with in under the Scottish rain and because of the friction inside my knee three holes appear so I got wet from my knees to my ankles. The quality is very low I'm so disapointed
Comments about Marmot PreCip Full Zip Pants - Women's:
I bought these pants two days ago because they are light weight and the fit was great for me, as they offer the short fit. I wore it yesterday for hiking in the rain (13km) and was disapointed because I was pretty wet by the end of the hike. The pants are comfortable, but I guess they are more suitable for a shorter time period in the rain or only light rain.
Comments about Marmot PreCip Full Zip Pants - Women's:
I bought these for hiking & biking. Wanted something to roll up small & stuff into my pack, go on easy/over my clothes and not get caught in my bike chain...and most of all keep me dry. These sinch up at the bottom with draw string as well as zip at the bottom for over shoe ease. I ordered size small in short! I am 5 ft. 1 inches 124 pounds. Tested out in Breckenridge Colorado this month and they are worth every single penny and pure sweetness with my matchiing Marmot jacket. Happy girl!

In their recent book, Mens and Demeyer state that Model-Driven Engineering introduces additional challenges for controlling and managing software evolution. Today, tools exist for generating model editors and for managing models with transformation, validation, merging and weaving. There is limited support, however, for model migration - a development activity in which instance models are updated in response to metamodel evolution. In this paper, we describe Epsilon Flock, a model-to-model transformation language tailored for model migration that contributes a novel algorithm for relating source and target model elements. To demonstrate its conciseness, we compare Flock to other approaches.

The BBC News is reporting on a previously unheard interview of singer/songwriter Bob Dylan made on tapes by Robert Shelton. The tapes were made in 1966 after a concert in Lincoln, NE on the way to Denver. Interviewer Shelton describes the interview as a "kaleidoscopic monologue."
In the interview, Dylan talks about his heroin addiction in the early 60s and his contemplation of suicide at one point after people started calling him a genius. These tapes are the first time he had spoken completely candidly about such things.
kicked a heroin habit in New York City. I got very,
very strung out for a while, I mean really, very strung out. And I
kicked the habit. I had about a $25-a-day habit and I kicked it," says Dylan.
to me is nothing… death to me means nothing as long as I can die
fast. Many times I've known I could have been able to die fast, and I
could have easily gone over and done it."
"I'll admit to having this suicidal thing… but I came through this time …. I'm not
the kind of cat that's going to cut off an ear if I can't do something.
I'm the kind of cat that would just commit suicide.I'd shoot
myself in the brain if things got bad. I'd jump from a window… man, I
would shoot myself. You know I can think about death, man, openly," says Dylan.
Dylan turns 70 Tuesday (May 24). According to the BBC, a film is now in production about the tapes.

I never knew what trust meant.
I really didn't.
I have never really trusted someone, till the day i met you.
The day i met you is never a blur in my mind.
When I met you i will admit i was kinda scared.
I was never really good at making friends or talking.
But the day I met you, thats the day everything changed.
You opened up my eyes to see more to me then just a girl who thinks she is nothing.
You made me see that in my life i am worth the fight.
You opend my eyes to see that I can trust and not get hurt.
You taught me that I could fly and not fall, or that i could speak my mind and not be judged.
You made me see what i have to offer this world.
The days that i am down and maybe even crying, you pick me up and hug me and tell me that everything will be alright.
You dont leave my side till you know that i am alright and that im not down anymore.
I know that i can tell you anything.
I can tell you a problem i have or a mistake a made.
I know that you wont jundge me on it.
Not even one bit.
You dont insult me and you dont make fun of me because you know that i can break easily.
I just wanted to say that, I am thankful for having you as my friend.
Your are not only my freind you became apart of my life.
Thank you <3

If your child requires any pediatric specialty care — from diabetes and epilepsy to heart surgery and cancer care — we provide easy access to our specialists and the resources of Mary Bridge Children's Hospital & Health Network in Tacoma.
Thanks to MyChart, our secure electronic health records system, every provider within MultiCare has instant access to your child's current medical information, test results, allergies, prescriptions and medical history.
Choosing a Provider
Each of our pediatric primary care locations offers both pediatricians and registered nurse practitioners, and in some cases, physician assistants.
Pediatricians (MD)
Pediatricians are medical doctors (MD) with special training and board certification to provide general care for babies, kids and teens. They provide well-child exams, immunizations and treat common childhood illnesses, as well as sudden and ongoing illness. Pediatricians will refer a patient to a pediatric specialist for anything more serious beyond general care. Pediatricians can be great listeners and are good at explaining medical concepts in a way that's easy to understand.
Nurse Practitioners (ARNP)
ARNPs have an advanced degree and board certification in a specialty, such as pediatrics or adolescent medicine. They can do initial physical exams, perform some tests and procedures, write prescriptions and treat minor illnesses and injuries.
Physician Assistants (PA or PA-C)
Physician assistants are health care professionals who practice medicine as a part of a health care team with collaborating physicians and other providers. They are experts in general medicine and can diagnose, treat and prescribe medicine.
To learn more about our pediatric providers or schedule an appointment, call the office nearest you.

The City regulator is poised to hit a mobile phone insurer with a hefty fine after unearthing shoddy customer treatment and poor complaints handling during an industry-wide review.
As the latest potential mis-selling scandal threatens to hit Britain's financial services sector, the Financial Conduct Authority said it would impose the fine next month.
It declined to name the company in question but said the fine would be "significant" and related specifically to "poor handling of complaints".
The looming fine came as the FCA, which has a clear mandate to pursue companies that fail to treat customers fairly, published a review

After judging hundreds of homebrews you start to pick up on trends. Judging is a crash course in beer education. Think about it – you taste around a dozen different homebrews in rapid fire succession while thinking critically and writing useful feedback about each one.
You learn a lot – the hop varieties brewers are using, the angles they are taking on classic styles, and yes, even their flaws.
There's a constant debate about whether or not you should enter competitions. Sorry, this article isn't going into that (maybe another time).
This also isn't about "brewing to style", another hotly debated topic.
Instead, I'm just here to offer up some tips based on what I've witnessed in competitions. Chances are, even non-competition goers are affected by similar issues.
Focus on the Basics for the Biggest Wins
Something I teach my students at The Homebrew Academy is setting priorities. You'll get much better results if you focus on the few things that make big differences.
I used to be guilty of this myself.
Hell, it happened to me recently. I obsessed about the exact weight and timing of hop additions for an IPA.
"Should I add these 2 oz. of Cascade at five minutes or three minutes? Hmm…."
Then, like an idiot, I screwed up the setting on my thermostat and the fermentation temperature got too high, resulting in some flavors I didn't want. If I had focused on the far more important factor of fermentation instead of obsessing over the minutiae of hop timings, my beer would have turned out better.
Likewise, these 5 items below aren't about crazy expert techniques. They're more like brewing fundamentals that many people still get wrong. Evaluate your own beer and work to fix these mistakes. If you enter competitions you'll put yourself ahead of at least half the other entrants. If you don't compete, you'll still improve your beer.
Here they are:
- Under-attenuation
It's likely under attenuated. Make sure you're pitching enough yeast and giving the wort plenty of oxygen before fermentation begins. It's easy to get lazy at the end of the brew day. I'm always exhausted and just want to go eat buffalo wings. But getting fermentation off to a good start is critical. Finish your brew day strong.
- Too many specialty malts
Who wouldn't want that in their beer?!?
But I'm shocked by how many beers I taste that are just…muddy. The use of too many specialty grains hides flavors and makes for a messy tasting beer. Don't be afraid to let those base malts shine. Take a minimalist approach to brewing. It's easier to know which grains to add than which ones to remove when you go to re- brew.
- Stale flavors
Old beer, old ingredients, or a combination of both will give a beer a washed out, stale flavor. Oxidation will do it as well. Take care to use the freshest ingredients, minimize oxidation, and know when your beers are at their peak.
- Unattractive
Nail your first impression and you'll automatically leave the person drinking your beer with an favorable outlook.
- Young/Green beer
Your beer needs time. It could be that the yeast is still cleaning up some off flavors. Other times, with high gravity beers, the alcohol is too intense and it needs a stint in the cellar to mellow out.
Unfortunately there's no formula for knowing exactly when your beer will be at its best. It takes experience and careful note taking. I recommend using the 5 bottle rule to determine when your recipe is in what I call its "prime drinking period.".
I often say that becoming a BJCP judge was one of the best thing I've done to improve my homebrew. Maybe this article will even inspire you to become one yourself.
Regardless, these tips should help you step up your game. That's whether you're brewing for judges, friends, or just yourself.

I serve the file with a MIME type
over HTTP and view the result with Firefox. I have not specified any character encoding either via HTTP or within the document and there is no BOM.
What should the charset be? On reading RFC 3023 [ietf.org], I get the impression it should be US-ASCII. Only if I serve the file as

document as UTF-8 was accidental.
This is for a very practical 'real world' reason: US-ASCII is a very small part of the real world. Consider KO18-R (or Big5 or utf-16 or...) encoded xml sent via http specifying text/xml but without charset ... an RFC 3023 compliant parser would serve up US-ASCII glop. These products simply decided that a utf-8 default will cause fewer complaints than US-ASCII and so informally 'revised' the standard.
I do not know if FF behaves this way or for this reason but if so it would certainly be with the majority.
I do not know if FF behaves this way or for this reason but if so it would certainly be with the majority.
I found a few Bugzilla conversations and a few submitted patches, so I get the impression that later Firefox versions are going to implement RFC 3023 more strictly.
I found the best answer to my question in an article from XML.com which is rather well-titled XML on the Web Has Failed [xml.com]. RFC 3023 dictates the primacy of HTTP over an internally-declared charset, but real-world implementations mean that that primacy has to be ignored simply due to the sheer number of feeds which would be considered ill-formed if RFC 3023 was followed to the letter. A real eye-opener.
I was aware of the strong recommendations never to use
for anything, but the reasons why are much clearer to me now!

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The FCPA Guidance could not have been clearer; it could not have offered more incentives and carrots to the business community. If you adopt and implement an "effective" compliance program, you will receive significant credit for your program which can reduce a penalty, avoid a corporate monitor, or even secure a declination — a free pass — for FCPA violations.
The message is clear to the business community – spend the money and the time to make sure you comply. DOJ and SEC reiterated that they do not hold a company to a standard of perfection, violations can even occur when a company has a robust compliance program.
Yet, we see that maybe half of all American businesses are not improving their compliance programs. Half are sitting on their hands and praying for compliance.
Those who argue for a compliance defense have never explained in practical terms how such a defense would work. Until they address the issues and fix the obvious problems with the defense, the prpoposal will never gain any ground. See my post here.
Corporate boards, audit/compliance committees, and senior management need to step up to the plate and increase the push for compliance. The investment is well worth it – it is insurance against a possible violation and compliance will reduce, not eliminate, the risk of a violation. A failure to act in these circumstances is nothing less than corporate irresponsibility. Or to put it another way – companies that continue to ignore compliance will reap what they sow.
What prevents companies from paying attention to this issue? This is no longer a matter of education. That is already occurred and everyone with a brain and some senses knows about anti-corruption enforcement and the risks.
Corporate governance is facing a new test. It is clear that aggressive FCPA enforcement will continue for at least the next four years and more likely into a new Administration. Fantasies of Congressional relief were always fantasies. Corporate governance has to act; if it does not, Congress will be forced to pass a new round of corporate governance requirements, imposing compliance for anti-corruption and other risks, akin to Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank reforms.
Congressional action would be even more prescriptive than past reform efforts and impose a long-list of specific compliance requirements, all in the interest of preserving shareholder value and the public interest in financial markets.
For most companies, the cost of a compliance program is not prohibitive. It requires companies to dedicate people, resources and time to compliance. Corporate leaders have a responsible path to follow. When they weigh the cost of compliance against the risk of enforcement, the answer is clear.
Corporate intransigence has to give way to proactive leadership. Companies know how to act in advance – they do so all the time when it comes to new business lines, products and services. This same creativity and passion can be applied to compliance with minimal loss to the bottom line.
As I always say, every organization has a basic predisposition to say "no, we cannot do that." Business leaders use this mantra to avoid risk, keep their heads down and hope for the best. But we all know that the "real" leaders are the ones that say: "We have a problem. What are we doing to fix it? Let's a find a way to get the job done!"
When it comes to compliance, businesses are standing at this crossroad. Let's hope they move forward instead of backward.

Project Description
We are interested in changing this website ([url removed, login to view]) from its current Flash format to a more friendly HTML/PHP/Etc format. Currently, the website loads as a "video" or flash and is not search engine friendly or link friend.
We are looking for the following:
- Change website from currently Flash format to HTML/PHP/or any other suitable format.
- Once that's done, we need the following changes:
- Under "Wheels" we want to create a "CS7" and "SF-71" product page similar to [url removed, login to view] where it includes a few images of the wheels, application list, color choices, sizes available, specs, etc.
- Under "Gallery" we want the link to forward viewers directly to our flickr page.
- Under "Where to Buy" We would like to update the list under "Stocking Distributors" and make the names linkable to our distributors email address and add another section on top that reads "Master Distributors"
- Under "Contact" we would like to add a contact form similar to [url removed, login to view]
I believe that is it for now. There might be one or two minor things to add/remove but nothing that should take longer than a few minutes.

Nicholas A. Mattiello was elected as Speaker of the House by his colleagues on March 25, 2014, and then re-elected in January 2015 for a full two-year term. First elected in November 2006 to Represent District 15 in Cranston, he served as the House Majority Leader from February 2010 until becoming Speaker.
His focus has been on improving the state's economy and job climate. In his first two years as Speaker, he oversaw budgets which have reduced the corporate tax to the lowest rate in the Northeast, raised the exemption on the estate tax, eliminated the income tax for many Social Security recipients, done away with the sales tax that businesses previously paid on their utility bills, and lowered the minimum corporate tax. The budget in June 2015 was approved in an unprecedented two hours of debate on a 75 -0 vote.
He has also made certain the budgets increased aid to public education, and in 2015, it included a $20 million investment in a new statewide school construction program. The latest budget also contained job incentives and other innovative programs to attract businesses to Rhode Island. He has also made certain the state has raised the minimum wage each of the last two years. In 2015, he advocated for three new laws that strengthen oversight of the campaign finance system.
Speaker Mattiello is a 1981 graduate of La Salle Academy, a 1985 graduate of Boston College with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting, and a 1988 graduate of Suffolk University School of Law, and is a member of the Rhode Island Bar Association. He is a self-employed attorney with an office in Cranston.
Speaker Mattiello is a member of the St. Mary's Feast Society and Oaklawn Grange. He previously coached baseball in the Cranston Western Little League and at the Cranston- Johnston Regional Catholic Middle School.
Speaker Mattiello, who was born on May 16, 1963, is a life-long Rhode Islander and a Democrat. He and his wife Mary Ann are the parents of two sons, Nicholas and Anthony.

Researchers studying mouse proteins uncover part of "choreography of immunity"
Rearranging the genome is a risky endeavor, and human cells reserve it for special occasions, like making egg and sperm cells. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine announce they've learned how an enzyme that reshuffles DNA on one of those rare occasions — during the birth of new white blood cells — helps ensure the process doesn't go haywire. Their results are described online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

All patients off immunosuppressive drugs more than a year after transplant in small clinical trial
Physicians at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center report they have successfully treated 16 patients with a rare and lethal form of bone marrow failure called severe aplastic anemia using partially matched bone marrow transplants followed by two high doses of a common chemotherapy drug. In a report on the new transplant-chemo regimen, published online Dec. 22, 2016, in Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, the Johns Hopkins team says that more than a year after their transplants, all of the patients have stopped taking immunosuppressive drugs commonly used to treat the disorder and have no evidence of the disease.

Chemical recalibration of brain cells during sleep is crucial for learning, and sleeping pills may sabotage it
Studying mice, scientists at Johns Hopkins have fortified evidence that a key purpose of sleep is to recalibrate the brain cells responsible for learning and memory so the animals can "solidify" lessons learned and use them when they awaken — in the case of nocturnal mice, the next evening.

Improper chromosome separation sets the stage for cancer
When a cell is dividing, two identical structures, called centrosomes, move to opposite sides of the cell to help separate its chromosomes into the new cells. More than 100 years ago, scientists observed that cancer cells often have more than two centrosomes, but they couldn't untangle whether the extra structures were a result of the cancer — or part of its cause. Now, biologists at Johns Hopkins have solved that conundrum, finding that extra centrosomes can single-handedly promote tumor formation in mice.

Baltimore Youth Have Limited Access to HIV Testing in Nonclinical Community Settings, New Study Finds
A new survey of 51 youth-serving, nonclinical, community-based organizations in Baltimore, Maryland, found that the majority did not offer HIV testing, nor did they have established links to refer youth to testing. Organizations that did provide HIV tests were more likely to offer general health services and referral services for sexually transmitted infections screening outside of HIV, and had staff members who were more comfortable talking about sexual health issues.

I haven't a clue, but the clump from last year in one bed was much bigger
this year. And now there are several clumps in a bed where I planted 3 plants
