text: Choose the Right Career Path Based on Your Motivational FocusMelanie Pinola6/28/13 8:00amFiled to: life planningcareersjobsmotivationpsychology302EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life is a difficult task, especially when most of us are terrible at picking jobs we'll actually like. Besides your skills and passions, one important, yet less obvious guideline for choosing a career is motivational fit. In the Creativity Post, Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson points out that there are two ways people are motivated to achieve work and life goals: We're either motivated primarily with a promotion focus or with a prevention focus. Advertisement Advertisement Promotion-focused people see goals are opportunities for rewards and achievements—what they'll gain from reaching those goals. They excel at coming up with creative ideas, working quickly, taking risks, and thinking abstractly, but can also be more error-prone.Prevention-focused people concentrate on security, fulfilling responsibilities, and keeping what they've worked so hard for. They excel at analytic thinking, attention to detail, planning, and anticipating problems, but they can work slowly and might not embrace change.Knowing which one is your dominant focus can help you find a career that's most fulfilling and engaging for you: Sponsored If you are promotion-focused, look for jobs that offer advancement and growth. Consider fast-paced industries where products and services are rapidly changing, and where the ability to identify opportunities will be essential, like the tech sector or social media. To use a sports metaphor, look for a career where you get to play offense — where boldness, speed, and outside-the-box thinking pay off.If you are prevention-focused, look for jobs that offer you a sense of stability and security. You are good at keeping things running, at handling complexity and always having a Plan B (and C and D) ready at a moment's notice. Consider careers where your thoroughness and attention to detail are valued — for instance, as a contract lawyer or data guru. You work best when you are playing defense — you can spot a threat a mile away, and protect your company or client from harm.If you have trouble deciding which is your primary focus, you can try this free online assessment.

Why an SRX over a CTS?
Been a member of this forum for the past
two years since I leased my very first Cadillac.
I ended up leasing a LOADED 2008 CTS.
Best car I ever drove hands down.
About to get into a new lease. Initially It
was an easy choice to get into a 2010 CTS
(310 HP). I would get the premium vehicle
loaded with every option for about $51k.
The thought of getting an SRX didn't interest
me, that is until I was on a business trip
in San Francisco and saw a candy red SRX
on display outside of the Ghirardelli Chocolate
Not nearly as ugly a vehicle as I thought.
In fact, as I thought about it, I liked the idea
of being higher up on the road almost as if
I was in a SUV but not as huge.
So now I have to pick either going with a
familiar CTS or possibly stepping into an SRX.
So, to help decide, I thought I would ask
your opinion....
Being that the CTS has been voted as one
of the best American vehicles why should
I consider going to a SRX?
Am I going to lose any luxury comfort or
power? What am I gaining with the SRX?
The only immediate downside I noticed
is that the SRX is 265HP vs. 305 for the CTS.
Finally, does it take regular gas like the
CTS? That was a huge plus to owning that
I would love to hear comments from owners.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
I actually started out wanting a CTS way back when the 2008's first came out. That's when I discovered this forum. On here, I learned of a lot of quality control issues with the early production CTS'. There were body panels that didn't line up, air leaks with the UltraView, mysterious vibrations at highway speed, etc., etc., etc. The latter of which people are still having problems with. This is why I eventually lost interest in the CTS. Still love the design. Just love the SRX even more.
I can personally tell you this much. You will not be sacrificing anything in the way of luxury if you switch to the SRX. The interior is very similar. However, they've made some refinements to the CTS' gauges and audio menu. The SRX has the Digital Information Center (DIC), a color information display integrated into the gauges. It tells you all kinds of vital information from icy road conditions warnings to the speed limit on the road you're driving on. Navigation directions also display here, in addition to the Nav screen. I also like the driving perspective you get with a taller vehicle. It's higher than a car, but still low enough to handle very much like a car. You can take curves at high speeds with no body roll.
The CTS is going to give you an edge in acceleration. However, make sure you test drive the SRX in "Sport Mode", something not all salespeople even know exists. There's also a Turbo version of the SRX, but that uses premium fuel. The other models all run on regular fuel.
Good luck with whatever decision you make!

Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
I'm a first-time Cadillac owner, and just got a 2010 SRX AWD. It's red like the one that turned your head, and is pretty much the same as the one in the CNET review.
Anyway, my last car was a 2008 BMW X5 4.8l AWD, and before that a 2004 Infiniti FX. As you can tell, I like the crossover SUV. I like riding a little higher than a car, but not feeling like I'm driving a truck.
The SRX beats the X5 and FX in comfort, luxury feel, and smoothness of ride. It doesn't have the power or pick up of the other two, at least in Auto, but it is a satisfactory feel on acceleration.
It is a ver striking and noticeable car, and I have enjoyed that, too. Right now, there just aren't many on the road. Seems like every other car is a Lexus RX, and I wanted something different. I haven't look back yet. It's a fine machine.
Good luck. I imagine you'll be happy with whichever decision you make. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements
Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
It depends on your priorities, where you live, and perhaps what other vehicles you own. The CTS AWD 3.6DI has much more power than the SRX (torque is the real difference), will get better gas mileage, and have better handling.
SRX Advantage: Ground clearance, and high position, storage flexibility
CTS Wagon Advantage: better gas mileage, handling, and storage flexibility similar to the SRX - 12-20-09 07:11 AM #5
Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
You guys have been very helpful. Thank you so much.
Tough decision here. The big factor is the power. I like
to be first out of the light as not to get behind someone
who goes below the speed limit.
If the SRX had the 306HP it would be a no-brainer. - 12-20-09 10:07 AM #6
Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
I also was gung ho on a CTS, but i need use of a back seat, and some considerable luggage space. Plus i love the truck like height while still retaining most of the car like handling. The SRX is a little short on power, but i can live with a small loss over the CTS for more space. Also, just the way the packages are lined up, i get more bang for my buck in the SRX compared to the CTS. Premium SRX gives heated rear seats, nav, and two rear seat dvd screens, where there is no heated seats in the rear of the CTS, nav is another $3000, and the rear seat dvd screens are another $3000 through GM Accessories. Plus the slightly better DIC, pretty much sealed the deal for me!

Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
I just bought a 2010 SRX, AWD in Flannel Gray. It's a nice color although I **really** liked the red color. Unfortunately my wife didn't share my opinion. We keep cars for 10+ years so I went for the Flannel Gray. I love it!
Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
It's all going to be what you like more, the space and view from the SRX or the power and handling of the CTS.
The last SRX was based on the CTS and had power and handling that was very close to the CTS and that would've been a no-brainer for you if the space and view were big pluses.
The new SRX is on a more affordable platform that has given up the athletic abilities the old one had. But it's also much more affordable. Seeing how you get all the features of the CTS without the high price tag, it's a great value... - 12-20-09 05:02 PM #9
Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
I am pretty much set on the SRX now that I found
out the Turbo model is about to debut.
The only thing is that I need to get the price just
right. My goal is $50k if I can get the dealer down
to it.
However, the Turbo starts at $51,360. Once I
add the premium color, protection package and
perhaps entertainment system then I am screwed.
So, it's all or nothing for the SRX. Otherwise
I go back to the CTS which already has the 300+ HP
Thanks for all your help guys. - 12-20-09 05:09 PM #10Cadillac Owners Fanatic

Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
For those of you with the SRX 265HP
Does it have fast pickup/acceleration at lights?
Also does it run on regular gas like the CTS? - 12-20-09 05:49 PM #12Cadillac Owners Fanatic

Re: Why an SRX over a CTS?
I have an '09 CTS and a '10 SRX.
The SRX has fast pickup/acceleration at lights.
The CTS has faster pickup/acceleration at lights.
Both will do the job for you.
Neither will beat Corvettes, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris or a Telsa (or similar vehicles).
The SRX runs on regular 87 octane. - 12-20-09 07:34 PM #14
Sport Mode, Sport Mode, Sport Mode
Do yourself a favor and test drive the SRX in "Sport Mode". Like you, I was set on the Turbo version because of some reports about acceleration. I got tired of waiting for the Turbo. I also didn't like the fact that it costs a few grand more and uses premium fuel, so I decided to test drive the 3.0L. I'm glad I did. I can't imagine you wanting/needing more pickup than the SRX will provide in Sport Mode. The Sport Mode has a "manual" shift mode and an automatic mode. Unless you enjoy shifting gears, use the latter. It changes the gear ratios. Believe it or not, some salespeople still don't know there are three separate transmission settings, so they may even look puzzled if you mention this.
Also, the standard "Comfort" setting learns your driving style. It will change the way it shifts after you've driven the car for a few weeks. So you can't even judge that based on your first impression.

Speed Limit 100Gbps – Cisco CRS-3 and Altibox Powers World's Fastest Computer Party
What do you get when you combine 5000+ gamers, a 100GE uplink to the Internet, a lot of espresso machines, and no parents to tell them to shut down the noise or go to bed early? A whole lot of fun!
The Gathering ("TG"), is Norway's largest computer party and kicked off today for its 20th time since 1992. It's grown so large now that it is held at one of the venues used for the 1994 Winter Olympics. TG continues to attract growing interest to the gaming, computer, and entertainment event, both nationally and internationally and is organized by the non-profit organization KANDU (Kreativ Aktiv Norsk DataUngdom/Creative Active Norwegian Computer Youth). This year it's powered at record speed by a Cisco CRS-3 router connected to The Gathering's Internet provider, Altibox at 100 Gbps, along with technical support provided by several of Cisco Norway's engineers, Merete Asak and Bjornar Forthun.
This isn't the first time the CRS has played a key role in a Scandinavian gaming conference. The Swedes used our 40G technology in 2007 at their Dreamhack event as we discussed (and video here), but now this has raised the performance bar.
Although they probably won't be playing Cisco's award winning myPlanNet game, they'll still enjoy others such as StarCraft, Quake, and Heroes of Newerth. Participants also participate in creative competitions in programming, graphics, and music.
As one would expect to befit a computer party, the engineers proudly posted their network implementation on the Internet and even gave us a great testimonial:
This year our sponsors really have stepped up to the plate by delivering a 100 Gigabit/s internet access with a kickass network to make sure we can enjoy the amazing capacity.
As part of our SP marketing team I've got to say I really like the phrase "Cisco – Builds Kickass Networks" but I don't think it will get past our branding or legal departments, even if the CRS-3 is the only vendor currently to support a fully standards-compliant, single-flow 100GE link. If you are in Norway this week and you are really in the mood to play "Call of Duty" on a very low ping network stop by The Gathering for some CRS-3 enabled fast gaming action!

Speaking during his annual end-of-the-year news conference, President Obama acknowledged the difficulties of 2013 while reiterating that there are plenty of reasons for him and the American people to be optimistic as 2014 approaches, predicting that it would be "a breakthrough year for America," the AP reports.
But Obama did comment on some of the glaring areas of criticism that have plagued the Obama administration this year. When it came to the widespread criticism surrounding the NSA's power to collect information on Americans, Obama suggested that he may adjust the agency's power and has collected the recommendations of members of a presidential task force regarding how to limit NSA programs.While Obama insisted that the NSA had not used the collected data in inappropriate ways, he explained, "We may have to refine this further to give people more confidence."
Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who leaked detailed documents of the agency's data collection practices and is now living in Russia through temporary asylum, was also a topic of discussion. A fugitive of the U.S., Snowden is still seeking permanent asylum through several governments, but many supporters have called for Obama to provide Snowden with amnesty. But Obama remained noncommittal on the subject. "I will leave it up to the courts and the attorney general to weigh in in public on Mr. Snowden's case," he said.

Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville's search for a new defensive coordinator might be starting with one of his old defensive coordinators.
Art Kaufman, the defensive coordinator at Mississippi from 1995 through 2000, was at Tech on Tuesday, a source said. The Red Raiders are looking to fill the spot vacated by Chad Glasgow, who coached the defense this season.
Kaufman has been at North Carolina since 2009. He was promoted to defensive coordinator this year, but the Tar Heels operated all season under interim head coach Everett Withers. UNC hired Larry Fedora as head coach in early December, and on Tuesday the Tar Heels announced Fedora had filled his staff except for a running backs coach.
UNC finished the season 7-6, losing to Missouri 41-24 in the Independence Bowl. The Tar Heels ranked 26th in rushing defense, a category in which Tech ranked No. 120 and last in the nation. They ranked 48th and 56th, respectively, in total defense and scoring defense, allowing averages of 365.2 yards and 24.9 points per game.
In Tuberville's first head-coaching job — 1995 through 1998 at Ole Miss — Kaufman was his first defensive coordinator. Kaufman remained in the position for the next two years after Tuberville left for Auburn. Since then, he has been defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Arkansas Tech (2001-02), defensive line coach at East Carolina (2003-04), linebackers coach at Middle Tennessee State (2005-07) and defensive line and special teams coach at Southern Mississippi (2008).
During a 30-year coaching career, Kaufman also has been a defensive coordinator at Northwestern State and Louisiana Tech.
He is a native of Dermott, Ark. and was a standout linebacker at Arkansas-Monticello, graduating in 1980.
Elsewhere, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, citing unidentified sources, reported Tuesday that Glasgow will return to TCU, where he was safeties coach for 10 years before he came to Tech. The report said Glasgow probably will coach safeties again, but his role and title could expand.

Abstract: | Background: Yeast expression systems with altered N-glycosylation are now available to produce glycoproteins with homogenous, defined N-glycans. However, data on the behaviour of these strains in high cell density cultivation are scarce. Results: Here, we report on cultivations under controlled specific growth rate of a GlycoSwitch-Man5 Pichia pastoris strain producing Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) at high levels (hundreds of milligrams per liter). We demonstrate that homogenous Man5GlcNAc2 N-glycosylation of the secreted proteins is achieved at all specific growth rates tested. Conclusions: Together, these data illustrate that the GlycoSwitch-Man5 P. pastoris is a robust production strain for homogenously N-glycosylated proteins. |

With the purchase of six historic properties in the 100 block of 7th Avenue SW, Heritage Property Corporation is one step closer to giving the derelict block a much needed makeover. Planning is underway for an extensive rehabilitation and development project that would unite the block's rich history with the some of the present day's most cutting-edge technology.
The preservation of the significant heritage properties along 7th Avenue is of paramount importance to the success of this project. Heritage Property Corporation plans to delicately restore each individual building and facade to maximize the block's early twentieth-century splendour. Each of these properties has its own fascinating history which has nearly been forgotten over the years. The revival of this block hinges on recapturing the energy and charm that it once possessed. Attracting pedestrian traffic to one of the most intimidating blocks in the city will help to bring spirit and positive business back to these properties. The addition of a pedestrian friendly laneway, which has lovingly been dubbed "Heritage Alley", will provide secure, well-lit access to 7th and 8th Avenue at all hours of the day.
Once restored, the historic properties will provide desirable space for businesses featuring ample storefronts and instant attention from LRT traffic. Local arts groups have shown a great deal of interest in securing gallery and studio space once the restoration of the buildings has been completed. Heritage Property Corporation believes that using the buildings as arts and culture space would be an ideal fit for the area, especially with Art Central already located across the street. Seventh Avenue would cement its status as an important hub in Calgary's arts community.
Seventh Avenue Autopark Inc.
To enliven businesses in the area and provide economic feasibility to the project, Heritage Property Corporation intends to construct an automated parking facility with the capacity to park up to 360 vehicles. These types of parkades have been used for decades in Europe and Asia, and have also seen great success in American cities. The facility would use 40% less ground area than a traditional parking structure while condensing eight levels of parking into a six storey building.
Operation of the user-friendly system consists of pulling your vehicle into an "entry cabin", then turning off, exiting and locking your vehicle. Complete the process by simply swiping your access card or credit card at the computer kiosk and leaving for the day. Your car will then be transported to an appropriate, vacant parking space. Upon your return, swipe your access card and your vehicle will be delivered to the "entry cabin", pointed in the right direction for your exit (no reversing required) at which time you can enter your vehicle and drive away.
The second phase of development will be the construction of a 165,000 square foot office building above the parkade.
Once Heritage Property Corporation secures City approval, construction of Canada's first automated parking facility will begin — an impressive accomplishment for Calgary.

A Rich History...
A nearly intact streetscape of early-twentieth century structures stands on the south side of 7th Avenue between Centre Street and 1st Street SW. Steeped in Calgary's rich history, these buildings tell the story of business in our city. They have witnessed Calgary's growth from prairie-town to big city, chronicling our prosperity, innovation and struggles along the way.
Between 1900 and 1914, the block was transformed from a lightly-developed residential block to a bustling commercial centre. Beginning in 1923, and as late as the 1950s, 7th Avenue was part of the Calgary Stampede parade route. This block was a favourite vantage point for photographers trying to capture the excitement and festivities. Seventh Avenue was also part of the motorcade route for the Prince of Wales' visit in 1919 and for the Calgary Stampeders' post-Grey Cup parade in 1949.
This significant group of buildings backs on to the Stephen Avenue pedestrian mall and Calgary's National Historic District. Undoubtedly, the restoration of these properties will further enrich one of Calgary's most important blocks.

From the Editor's Desk
There have been 483 murders in New York City as of the end of last month, compared with 519 during the same period last year. At that rate, the city would record 530 murders this year, 40 less than last year and one of the lowest murder rates since the 1960's.
Having said that, I have to add the disquieting fact that non-fatal shootings are up about five percent citywide this year.
Anybody who reads The Wave knows that there have been entirely too many gun incidents on the peninsula this year, far more than in the past.
My belief that shootings are on the uptick in Rockaway, however, is anecdotal rather than statistical.
It comes from handline stories each week and reading police reports from the two local precincts and from the Queens District Attorney.
The New York City Police Department's (NYPD) official CompStat statistics tell another story.
According to the NYPD, there have been four homicides in the 101 Precinct (Far Rockaway) this year to date as opposed to eight last year, a fifty percent drop. Felonious Assaults (which should include non-fatal gun events) have fallen to 106 to date from 130 last year, a reduction of more than 18 percent.
The statistics for the 100 Precinct (Rockaway Beach) show that the precinct had one homicide this year as opposed to none last year, a 100 percent rise. Felonious Assaults were also down, from 66 last year to date to 60 this year, a drop of nine percent.
While those statistics are heartening, they don't tell the entire story.
First of all, these "index crimes" are sometimes reduced to lesser crimes, taking them out of the CompStat statistics entirely.
Secondly, there is no category for "crimes using guns."
There is a category for robberies. Those robberies can include both those using guns and those using another form of weapon. Robberies in the 100 Precinct were up to 75 from 38, a rise of 97.3 percent. In the 101 Precinct, robberies were up from 111 last year to 121 this year, a rise of nine percent.
Those are statistics. Here is some of the anecdotal information that give some lie to the statistics. All of these stories are from the front pages of this year's Waves.
January 7: Shots fired at Cross Bay Bridge, bringing in the new year with a bang.
January 28: A dying Edgemere man identifies his shooter before expiring.
March 28: NYPD officers executing a warrant in Arverne take guns and drugs.
April 15: A mom and her son are arrested on gun, drug charges.
May 6: Shooting kills a noted drug dealer in Arverne as he sits in his car with his father looking on.
May 13: A mourner at the funeral of the murdered man is arrested at the funeral when he shows a friend his gun in the presence of police officers.
August 19: A gunman robs an Orthodox Jewish man on the Sabbath, refusing to understand that the man could not carry money on that day.
September 2: Shooting at Ocean Bay houses, reportedly in retaliation for the May 6 shooting.
October 7: Cops executing a warrant take guns from an Arverne apartment.
November 11: Gunpoint robbery inside Beach Channel High School.
December 2: Man shot in his car drives himself to hospital.
See what we mean. Lots of guns, but how many of those incidents make the CompStat statistics?
I don't think that anybody, with the exception of those who live and die by the National Rifle Association (NRA) think that there is an acceptable level of guns in our community.
There are simply too many guns around and, despite what the NRA says, I don't believe that there is a Constitutional right for juvenile thugs to have guns.
Those who think that everybody has a right to a gun say that that right is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights. That amendment says, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
Read that amendment in the context of 1789 and the Revolutionary War, and think of the "Minutemen" and you can understand why that amendment was added. Read the journals of those who were there when the amendments were drafted (A good source for that is "Miracle at Philadelphia") and you will quickly understand that it was not drawn to protect thugs and cop killers, but because a national army of any real strength was still years away.
Today, that amendment is as archaic as the dinosaur. The NRA, however, with lots of clout in Congress because it spreads lots of money around, has kept it alive and transmuted its meaning to allow every thug and criminal in America to have an assault rifle in his or her closet.
Which brings us back to NYPD officer Dillon Stewart, who was shot by a man with a Florida pistol and a long history of violence against police officers.
While the NRA sent its condolences to the family of the slain officer, its officials clearly believe that the shooter, a man named Allan Cameron had a right to the gun he used to kill the officer. "Guns do not kill people, people kill people," the organization's mantra says, obviously forgetting that if Cameron did not have a gun, Stewart might be alive to go home to his wife and his two young daughters.
Most of the guns that are used in New York City, where the restrictions on buying and carrying a handgun are prolific, come from Virginia and Florida, where a resident can go in and buy as many guns as he or she wants without any check or the buyer's background.
Here's the way it works. A thug from Rockaway drives to Virginia and cruises around, perhaps hits the bars until he or she finds a local willing to make some money. The local goes into the gun stores and buys the weapons with money provided by the Rockaway resident.
The guns are then given to the Rockaway resident, who pays off the Virginia resident and drives back to Rockaway, where those guns are sold at two or three times what they were bought for. Each run made to Virginia, Pennsylvania or Florida, all of which have lax gun laws compared with New York, can bring eight to ten more guns to Rockaway streets.
Governor George Pataki, the State Senate and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have been trying to pass a bill that would make sentences for this kind of gun dealing much more stringent.
The Assembly has been blocking such a bill for years even though many Democratic Assembly members want the new law.
Under existing law, for example, possessing up to 20 unloaded handguns is a misdemeanor.
The maximum penalty under existing law for having those 20 illegal but unloaded handguns is one year.
The new law proposed by Pataki would make it a felony to illegally possess more than two handguns.
Illegally selling even one gun would become a "violent felony" with a mandatory sentence of two years.
That is what New York City needs, and both Audrey Pheffer and Michelle Titus, our two Assembly members, should work to get the new bill passed.
It's not going to be easy, however, because Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has so far refused to allow the bill to get to the floor for a vote. He has his own, watered-down version that I do not believe is half as good.
"These things have to be negotiated," a spokesman for Silver told reporters when asked why he would not allow a vote on the governor's bill. "We are all moving on a gun bill. The Senate [complaints] are just one hand clapping."
Silver is wrong and he and the Democratic majority are soft on crime. It is time for the Assembly Democrats to worry less about race and more about safety.
In fact, it is past time to pussyfoot around the gun issue.
We can't keep people from buying guns in other, less stringent venues. We can however make the penalties for doing so draconian as possible so that people will think twice of bringing guns into Rockaway.
It is clear that we should get the new bill passed as quickly as we can so that we can make our streets safer.

The first House Republican to sign on to a comprehensive immigration bill says others will join him shortly.
"While I'm the first Republican to support this legislation I expect others to sign on in the coming days," Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) said during a conference call late Monday afternoon.
"I'm going to continue to encourage my colleagues as I have for many months now to support realistic reform," Denham continued, saying he'd talked to "every member" in House Republican leadership about the bill in the last week to stress the need for a vote this year.
The House has been slow to act on immigration reform, failing to make much progress on the high-profile issue following Senate passage of a comprehensive bill over the summer, but since the government shutdown's conclusion there has been renewed discussion of the topic. Denham's weekend announcement that he would support a bill backed by a number of House Democrats is the first sign of movement in months.
Rep. Joe GarciaJoe GarciaFreshman Curbelo wins reelection in Fla. LGBT Republican groups campaigning for Curbelo in Fla. House Democrats amplify anti-Trump strategy MORE (D-Fla.), a leading Democrat on the bill, said that he'd been in talks with a number of other House Republicans in recent weeks, and that some were likely to sign on soon.
"We could have gotten a few other Republicans but all the other Republicans we talked to asked 'where's Denham on this?'" he said. "We expect a few more Republicans to join in the next few days."
Denham hails from a heavily Hispanic swing district, and Democrats are hopeful they can woo Republicans from other districts to join him in supporting the legislation.
The California Republican said most of his effort has been focused on talking to persuadable members — but that he'd also reached out to hardline opponents to encourage them to moderate their tone on immigrants.
"I've spent some time engaging colleagues who have had some, what I would say are very concerning things to say. And we've had some discussions on that issue."

God save the court
2 comments:
In attacking God in a law court, the guy in jail has certainly created a brilliant mixture of absurdity and futility, comparable with the finest Camus and Beckett... but I'm not sure he's in the same inimitable class as Eugen Ionescu.
Back in 1962, shortly after my initial arrival in Paris, friends took me along to the Théâtre de la Huchette to see La cantatrice chauve and La leçon. Even though my rudimentary French didn't enable me to understand all the subtle verbal exchanges, I was marked forever by that amusing theatrical experience. Those two plays were just as crazy and cruel as Waiting for Godot, but without the anguish and sordidness. They brought existentialist meaninglessness (there's a big word!) right into the bourgeois living-room.
In a totally different domain, another great Romanian writer who once interested me, through his work on myths, was of course Mircea Eliade.

Ball in a Wedge Model
written by
Wolfgang Christian
The Ball in a Wedge model displays a ball confined to move between two walls that form a wedge shape. The ball undergoes elastic collisions with the walls of the wedge. The angle of the wedge can be changed by setting the angle with the text box or dragging one of the wedge walls. By clicking in the Poincare section you can set the initial conditions of the motion of the ball. You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.
Ejs Ball in a Wedge model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (Ejs) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_mech_chaosWedge.jar file will run the program if Java is installed. Ejs is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models. Additional Ejs models for Newtonian mechanics are available. They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Ejs. Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java (JRE).

UPS Seeks 20 Percent Emissions Cut, Passes 2016 Goal
Justin DoomUnited Parcel Service Inc., which reached a 2016 goal of reducing global carbon dioxide emissions by 10 percent three years early, has a new target: 20 percent by 2020.
The world's largest package-delivery company plans to use more alternative-fuel vehicles and expand its ORION software in the U.S. as part of that effort, Chief Sustainability Officer Rhonda Clark said in a telephone interview.
"People compare it to GPS, but ORION goes so much further" in optimizing routes by combining map data and time-sensitive package information, Clark said. Previously "a typical UPS driver would deliver all of the air stops in the morning and sometimes have to backtrack to go back and deliver ground stops."
A reduction of one mile for every driver a day saves the company as much as $50 million annually, in addition to lowering greenhouse gas emissions. UPS used the software on about 10,000 routes last year, and may deploy it on almost half of its 55,000 U.S. routes by the end of 2014.
For the second straight year, the company in 2013 delivered more packages while also reducing its emissions 1.5 percent from a year earlier.
UPS uses more than 96,000 delivery vehicles, including about 3,600 powered by alternative fuels. By the end of last year, the company had about 250 vehicles that use liquefied natural gas, and plans to add another 1,000 this year.
The company said previously it expected to save 40 percent on fuel costs by switching its long-haul fleet to natural gas.
(An earlier version of this story corrected how the company uses ORION software.)

For over 40 years Penrith Veterinary Hospital has been caring for Penrith's pets and their owners, providing high quality veterinary care to control and prevent illness. From helping farm and companion animals originally when Penrith was more rural to becoming a highly focussed and advanced companion animal hospital in more recent years, the staff at Penrith Veterinary Hospital have always tried to provide a friendly, comprehensive and affordable service to allow people to care for their pets as best as they can.
September 2013 marked the completion of the largest and most significant upgrade to Penrith Veterinary Hospital. Two years of planning, specialist designers and outright hard work have culminated in the creation of our new purpose built hospital facility, whose entire purpose is to make our clients and patients stay with us more comfortable. Cageless and spacious pet accommodation, separate cat, dog, bird and small animal areas, reduced waiting times, separate waiting areas, extended parking and a kids creche have all been created to reduce stress and make your visit to us as easy and simple as possible.
We have seven veterinarians that will provide you not only with their individual experience and knowledge, but collectively, with over 50 years combined experience, the best, safest and quickest means to maintain and restore your pets health. Matthew and Sally Churchill have been at Penrith Vets for over 16 years, bringing new and advanced technologies and techniques to better care for our companions. Our nurses and receptionists are not only caring, dedicated and skilled in providing nursing and veterinary care, they also bring a wealth of experience, combining with over 100 years of veterinary expertise. If you need advice on any component of pet health care, there is no substitute for experience combined with current and up-to-date knowledge. If there is something we can't provide ourselves, we have access to vast resources to be able to provide whatever care is required.
We have ensured that we have the tools - and the expertise to use them - to be able to provide extensive, rapid and gentle care to your pet. We have ensured that technologies such as ultrasound, digital radiography, digital dental radiography, instant access blood testing, ECG and many others that will give us information without any discomfort to your pet, are available to rapidly clarify and resolve your pets condition. If your companion needs to have a procedure, you can be comforted to know that not only do we implement pain relieving techniques before, during and after all procedures where any discomfort is expected, but your pet will be cared for under anaesthesia by vets and nurses with experience and by technologies designed to minimise risks.
Penrith Vets has always aimed to provide these services in an affordable way. With the corporatisation of some veterinary hospitals more recently, the cost of some services can be extortionate.

Your suitcase size would be fine. They don't measure the dimensions, just the weight. Your airline would be more picky.
They shouldn't care about your bags that come on the bus, as long as they are small. It says only one, but if the other is small enough sized I can't see them getting upset. - 0 people like this

Ohh thankyou so so much.
Yeah, I've got an overnight bag that i was thinking about taking as my carry on luggage(and having with me on the bus) as well as a small handbag,
just as I'd carry a handbag around at home.

Hi all…I'm leaving in a week for the 18 day Euro Impressions and am trying to decide between a suitcase (not hardshelled, but pretty sturdy) and a sort of duffel bag on wheels. My dilemma is the ease of carrying the duffel bag (it's got over the shoulder straps and handles) vs the sturdiness of the suitcase in protecting and organizing things.
Any thoughts from the Contiki veterans out there? - 0 people like this

Categories Comments Campus Safety Sometimes you see the on-campus school officer, sometimes you don't. Of course, there are stations all around campus that allow you to call them for assistance. They also text, email and call students if there are any suspicious activity on campus or anywhere near campus.
Greek Life Non Greek school
Clubs and Activities There are successful sporting clubs. I don't really know anything about them, but I've heard that they are great,
Great for these types of students -Students that are looking to gradually ease their way into college life. -Ambitious students -Students that are willing to work hard and learn something different that is not in usual education curriculum.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus None that I know of. But there are unusual people that attend school there, so I'm sure there are some unusual traditions or locations that they have cooked up at one time or another.
Bang for the buck Its a city college, so overall it's fairly less expensive than a university.
What to do for fun There are sports you can join, or clubs you can participate in.
Food and Dining The food is edible, and that is all I'm going to say. Of course they encourage healthy eating, but that doesn't mean they stray from selling energy drinks and candy.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor Teachers are willing to help with anything in their lecture that any student did not understand. Most teachers provide students with a learning experience that they learn and strive from. There is not one class that I have taken there that I have forgotten.
Tips for prospective students -Be prepared to come in contact with many different types of people. Whether it may be race, age, or gender. Everyone has opinions, and no on is ever turned down to express them freely. -Be open minded. Sometimes you aren't going to agree with everything that you are learning, and that is fine. As long as you keep an open mind and are not reluctant then you will have a very fulfilling education. -Think outside the box. Most people that attends this school think that they are some kind of scholar or something, and those are the people that get the teachers attention and the overall good grades. Remember to express your ideas and opinions on ANYTHING. Don't hold back when it comes to being innovated and attempting to intellectual, they love it there.
In three sentences A very diverse learning environment that encourages students to learn beyond what the norm is. This school is excellent at expanding the ideas of not only theorist, but the students as well. Although it is well that exploring the innovations of others, however the overall feel of learning is well put into the campus.

Categories Comments Campus Safety This is the only college that will send me texts and emails about anything happening on campus and to lock your car doors...constantly. Although its annoying...its useful to be reminded
Clubs and Activities There are a good amount of activities to do at SJCC! Including football, soccer, volleyball, radio, TV etc. Its just hard trying to find the sign up sheets for them! As for activities you have San Jose to explore....so explore!
Great for these types of students Anytime of student would feel welcome here. Its a diverse amount of students including geeks, goth, jocks, retro, hippie, hipster etc. Just be yourself, people will always judge! just ignore them.
Bang for the buck Apply for scholarships, financial aid, ask help from family and youll get through college.
What to do for fun Your in San Jose, the third largest city in california!!! Take the lightrail and explore! The best thing to do to clear your mind is to take the lightrail and let your mind wander
Food and Dining Average. I did have a time where i bought some cheese with crackers and grapes from the cafeteria and the cheese was moldy. Although it was disgusting to purchase, the man in the front was willing to let me pick something else from the cafeteria.
Academic Rigor Always be ready to question what you learn, and if your not satisfied with the answer, research it!
Tips for prospective students Any student should have an open mind when attending college. I truely believe that you should save all your finalized work since its a representation of yourself and your opinion! By putting in effort into your opinion in your homework or essays, you'll see yourself developing your mind.
In three sentences San Jose City College has given my the opportunity to be in a diverse student enviorment with countless possibilities since teachers are providing me with interesting material to learn in class. As a student, I have dedicated my time to better myself through achieving a higher education, which i intend to use to better my community through inventing new ideas, establishing a social network with my peers, and creating programs that will benefit those who are willing to put the effort in to search for it. San Jose City College is a great representative of community colleges and I hope it stays successful for many years to come.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very safe campus with its own police department. The police are present and always monitoring the campus and parking facilities.
Clubs and Activities Variety of clubs and sports on campus for every student.
Great for these types of students SJCC is very diverse and anyone will fit in perfectly on campus.
Bang for the buck Even without any financial aid, SJCC is extremely affordable and worth any amount of money you pay. The quality of education is very high and the location of the campus is great to its surroundings.
What to do for fun You can get involved in sports, clubs, and student body. The campus is very diverse and there is a corner for everyone to fit in based on their likes and interests.
Food and Dining Vending machines and cafe available throughout campus.
Dorm Life No dorm life at SJCC
Academic Rigor The classes are challenging but very informative. If you choose to take the classes that are only specific to your major or field of study, they are very suiting and always stay on topic with what YOU need to know in the real world.
Tips for prospective students Come to class prepared to learn everyday, being at a community college is no less of an education than that of a major university. The classes are difficult and require critical thinking, hard work, and commitment.
In three sentences The campus is well organized and easy to navigate. The professors are excellent and always willing to help you and see you advance. Counselors remember you by name and are very helpful in planning your future at SJCC.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The safety of the campus is on top of what is going on. San Jose College had to shut the College down to a possible guy with a gun in the area trying to get into the college and they kept the students inside the building and had the police department there right away.
Clubs and Activities They offer many different clubs and activities for those that are into athletic and wanting to be in sports or join into a club. I am not in a club or into activities due to having to work.
Great for these types of students San Jose City College serves all types of students without any kind of discrimination.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I do not see any unusual traditions as for I only go part-time and then have to work after classes.
What to do for fun There are sports that are offered to students. You can get together with friends and do homework in the library they provide for us.
Food and Dining I do not dine here, as for right after class I go to work and have lunch there.
Dorm Life I live at home.
Academic Rigor To help students know how to create their own meaning out of what they learn, and organize information so they create mental models. They integrate individual skills into whole sets of processes.
Tips for prospective students The campus is a good size, not to big to get lost. The counselors their care about their students and help them with taking right classes. This College has a good rating among other colleges.
In three sentences Since I started San Jose City College, I can say it is a great college to attend. They are very resourceful, helpful and care about their students. I would recommend San Jose City College for new students coming out of high school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I took a night class here and I was very scared, but it was well lit and I felt safe.
Clubs and Activities Not a part of any clubs. Going to look into some this semester though.
Great for these types of students Don't be scared to ask for help!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I am not aware of any.
Bang for the buck It's cheaper than most colleges I've sent too. Teachers usually help the students get books for waaaaaaaaay cheaper, which is very nice.
What to do for fun I never stay here for fun, I'm always studying, so I wouldn't know.
Food and Dining We have small cafe next to the tech building. It's good, if you want to pick up a snack or coffee.
Dorm Life San Jose City doesn't have dorms.
Academic Rigor Depends on what kind of teacher you have. I took a business class and had about 8 hours of homework every night. I took a science class, and we didn't even get homework assigned and passed with an A. It just depends on who you get.
Tips for prospective students Take a map, with you. Since it's under construction, I did get a bit lost on my first day, but you should be fine. People are also nice if you ask them for help to get you somewhere.
In three sentences The campus is very nice, not too big and not too small. The library always has space in it, for you to study. Students are usually friendly, also.

Categories Comments Campus Safety when they are around.. the campus police office has always been closed when i need to go in.. so if you call always giving parket tickets are driving around here and there safe then idk what safe is.. * only giving a start because its required.. they would get no stars
Greek Life none..
Clubs and Activities what clubs? been there a year and every club rush its the same 3 tables.. * only giving a start because its required..they would get no stars
Great for these types of students single parents as everything is offered to them..
Bang for the buck rentals books. they dont carry them all but good to have them.. * only giving a start because its required..
What to do for fun thats funny.. nothing on campus is fun.. they need to do more things for students and not during a set time when people are in class.
Food and Dining with McDonalds, taco bell, subway, wendys, pizza and other food just outside of campus who cares about the bland and high price food on campus when you can go off campus a save and get better food.. * only giving a start because its required..
Dorm Life none.. community college.. find some place to rent. * only giving a start because its required..
Academic Rigor Look at rate my professor first. Most of the teachers are only fair to the sport playing students. The school is also in the process of losing its * only giving a start because its required..
Tips for prospective students try the other community colleges around this area.. Deazna and foothill are great, ohlone and mission are great schools as well..
In three sentences Cut back on classes. longer time to finish school. Not enought parking.

Categories Comments Campus Safety This campus is extremely safe. There are policemen on duty at all times. In addition to that, the teachers are excellent in noticing danger and alerting the authorities.
Greek Life Since this is a community college, I believe that there is no Greek Life.
Clubs and Activities There are a plethora of clubs and activities on campus! There is something for just about anybody. The clubs and activities are not hard to find because there are always people walking around campus promoting their club/activities.
Great for these types of students This college is great for any type of student who is willing to learn! It is fun and full of a variety of people that are extremely nice but at the same time very focused on their studies.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Due to just finishing my freshman year, I am unaware of any unusual traditions or locations on campus. However, just because I do not know of any does not mean that there aren't. I was emerged in m academics and sports all year so I did not have free time to explore the unusual traditions or locations on campus.
Bang for the buck I believe that going to a community college is well worth it! Attending community college enables the student to save money on general ed courses and prepares the student mentally for a four year institution. It is well worth it.
What to do for fun If you are not involved in a sport, I suggest you go watch the San Jose City College Softball team, or any other sport. The athletics are very entertaining to watch; there is never a dull moment!
Food and Dining The food on campus is extraordinary! You can choose to have something prepared right in front of you or you can choose to buy something pre made. Whatever you choice, the food is great!
Dorm Life Personally, I live at home but some of my friends live in apartments down the street from the school. From what I hear, they love it. Unfortunately, San Jose City does not offer dorms though.
Academic Rigor Academically, San Jose City College's courses are challenging. However, it is nothing too hard. The teachers are great so I believe anyone can complete a course with an A; that is, if you study.
Tips for prospective students Ask for the counselor named Veronica. She is extremely helpful in helping you pick out transferable college courses. It will be worth the time!
In three sentences I love San Jose City College! The teachers and students are phenomenal. The atmosphere makes for a great learning environment; I would recommend this school to anyone!

Clubs and Activities The Cross country team is such a supporting team for newbies.
What to do for fun Usually there is events in the schools, you just have to be aware when, and watch for posters around the school to tell you more information.
Food and Dining The sushi is the best in San Jose City college.
Tips for prospective students When you enter the school join clubs because they are fun to be in, and you get a good review from them for future colleges;that is if you want to transfer. Also see your counselor 3 times a semester to see if your on track or for anything.
In three sentences San Jose City college has been a very resourceful school for me, due to the help I get there. For example, tutors, help in economic issues, and the people there are very kind. I believe that being in this school you get a taste of a real college and it prepares you to your future goals.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus San Jose City College is big on Traditions. They are always acknowledging different cultures and holidays ect.
Bang for the buck even though tuition keeps on rising at community colleges right now as of spring 2012 it is only 46 dollars a unit. a huge difference from a university
What to do for fun There are many clubs at San Jose city college and sports.
Food and Dining the food provided at San Jose City College is Great. they have multiple selections from Mexican food too Chinese food
Academic Rigor This will all depend on how active the student. Teachers are most willing to help out any student if he or she asks. also as i mentioned before, there are many programs being offered at San Jose City College. some programs will contact the student, but it is up to the student to go to them for help
Tips for prospective students A tip I would give is to get active in the college. universities look into students who get involved. look for help at the universities. There is many programs in the college that help u with books if needed. Tutoring is offered as well
In three sentences San Jose City College is a great college to attend to get a head start to a four year university. San Jose City College offers many programs; for example, Puente. Puente is a program helps students on transferring to a four year university

Tips for prospective students If you need a place start there is no better place than San Jose City College and Evergreen In San Jose California. If you are returning to school this is also the place to build confidence.
Bang for the buck I do believe that you get a lot more than what you for by attending San Jose City College and as i mentioned before, the staff here are very knowledgeable and are excellent instructors.
Am enjoying being here Yes, I do enjoy attending San Jose City and when I transfer I will miss it but am excited to continue with my education plan of earning a B.A. in business and eventually my Masters.
Am learning a lot I enrolled in San Jose City College for the Fall 2009 Semester, part time with thoughts of pursuing a major in construction Technology. The reason for starting as a part time student was to avoid overwhelming myself, and to give myself time to adapt to my studies since I have not been in a school setting for such a long time. As I started to pick up more classes on my schedule, I began to get more confident and switched my major to Business Administration and this confidence was due to the professors and staff of San Jose City who were very helpful and made this experience much less intimidating. Am I learning A Lot? yes, and my confidence is still growing.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students SJSU is excellent for students who enjoy diversity and engaging in extracurricular activities. Students who enjoy juggling activities and building personal momentum with fulfilling activities will love SJSU.
Tips for prospective students Learn to manage your time effectively and do not be afraid to try new things. Use rate my professor! Take all your classes seriously, and attend every class!
Bang for the buck With the rising cost of colleges, SJSU is an affordable option for students looking to excel. As a respected university, and California's oldest college, San Jose State university offers programs, clubs, internships, and opportunities of an overwhelming amount. Students only need to take full advantage of this on their own.
Am enjoying being here The diversity at San Jose State is nothing short of overwhelming in the best way possible. Students from all backgrounds, economic, social, religious, sexual orientation, race, and nationality form the student population. This diversity not only exists among students, but is recognized and celebrated by clubs, staff, and the associated student union. There are hundreds of clubs ranging from interests in sports, politics, race, gender, human rights, and activities. Living on campus is a wonderful and priceless experience at San Jose State. Community building activities are held frequently and are at no cost to students. And form a student who has lived on campus, they're fun. The dinning commons is a buffet style, which catalyzes the freshmen fifteen scare, but the free gym membership is a wonderful compliment. Altogether, students looking for an equal balance of diversity and fun should seriously look in to attending SJSU.
Am learning a lot San Jose State offers an immense variation of classes which students can use to fulfill their general education. I myself am enrolled in the humanities honors program which has given me a breadth of art, philosophy, literature, religious studies, and history unparalleled. I never imaged learning as much as I have my first year here at SJSU. In my other courses I've taken, which include sciences, statistics, physical education, and social sciences, I have received a thorough education from passionate professors. San Jose State has the type of learning environment that facilitates a mass potential for learning, if only the students take the initiative to educate themselves on a higher level.

A former Coolidge councilman and real-estate broker has been convicted on charges of fraud and theft after he admitted bilking tens of thousands of dollars from clients and tenants.
Lester Curry pleaded guilty to the felony charges last week and, according to the plea deal, will serve six months in jail, followed by seven years of probation. In the plea deal, he agreed to pay up to $150,000 in fines and restitution to the 25 victims named in a criminal indictment.
The Arizona Department of Real Estate already revoked his broker's license and the company's, Curry & Curry LLC, in May. He was ordered to pay $8,000 in civil penalties.
His wife, Kathy, who was a partner in the firm, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor theft charge and agreed not to renew her license, the Real Estate Department said. She agreed to pay $2,398 in restitution, according the agency.
State prosecutors accused Les Curry of taking between $55,000 and $283,000 in clients' deposits and other funds between April and August 2011 and spending it for his own uses, according to court records. Real Estate Department investigative records showed the accounting information was missing for 34 clients. It also said audited financial reports showed that 93 percent of clients' deposits, or around $50,000, was missing.
According to state records, the Currys spent the money on everything from $3.41 at ACE Hardware and $9.99 at stamps.com to $500, plus bank fees, pulled from an ATM at Laughlin, Nev., casinos. Specific purchases included a $564.68 Qwest payment, a $557.44 Verizon bill, but also a $575.88 Costco spree June 27, followed up by a $563.73 Costco visit Aug. 1.
Les Curry was still in office at the time. His attorney, Rich Scherb, said Curry would not comment.
During an administrative hearing last year, the Currys appealed to the mercy of the judge and painted themselves as victims of bad economic times.
"We would like ... to sincerely apologize to you, the Department of Real Estate, our community, and above all, the people that we have harmed in our collections of poor decisions. We are not bad people and hope this court will show some leniency," the couple wrote in a prepared statement at the time, adding "We take full responsibility and are sorry for the actions we have taken."
Then they explained that bad luck in the form of the economic crash and a terminally ill relative coupled with bad choices in a partner and an office laid the firm low.
"We live paycheck to paycheck and have had to move in with our children," they told the court.
One of the victims of the scam, 75-year-old Victor Eastridge, of Douglas, didn't express any sympathy.
He said he and his brother bought their sister's house in Coolidge, which had fallen into foreclosure.
Their plan was to fix up the house and recoup as much money as they could from rent. For that, they needed a property manager. Eastridge went to the Yellow Pages.
"The problem in Coolidge was there was no other company," he recalled. "I knew he was a councilman and I felt he was probably going to be OK. I felt like he's not going to do anything to ruin his reputation. But I guess he didn't do that."
Eastridge, living on fixed income 300 miles away by car, gave Curry $2,000 up front, with an agreement to give him another $2,000 when the work was done. In return, Curry would get the place fixed up and ready to rent within 12 days.
"I go over there and he hadn't hardly done anything. Like an idiot, I gave him another $2,000. I went over there three or four months later and he still hadn't done much," Eastridge said.
He lost confidence "pretty quick" after that, he said, and he decided to tap his credit card to pay for the work. He slept on the floor at the house for eight weeks, supervising the work himself until it was ready and he found a renter.
Eastridge said he decided against suing, thinking he'd spend more money on an attorney than he'd ever collect. He said he did win a $2,500 small claims settlement, but he doesn't expect to see any of it.
The Currys got their real-estate licenses in 2000 and formed their company 10 years later. Les Curry had been elected to the City Council in 2008.
Four months into his term, the city issued Curry a lien to collect an $11 sewer bill, county records show.
The couple also had a federal tax lien for unknown amounts, according to those records.
