Career Services
Networking is a form of proactive relationship-building that exposes you to an industry, career field, or person you'd like to know more about. It is used as a way to gather information on industry trends and cultures, job responsibilities, opportunities and expectations and available resources. It can also provide you with an opportunity to practice your presentation and communication skills for future job interviews. It is imperative to keep in mind that networking is not all about getting or asking for a job; rather, it should be thought of as a way to increase your visibility in a target industry and stay on top of relevant information
Engaging in networking allows you to build professional relationships in your target industry, so it is important to cultivate and maintain this network. Your network will be an invaluable resource for you throughout your professional career, allowing you to gather more information about industries, companies, and job opportunities that will enhance your career development.
Most job openings are not advertised—roughly 80 percent of all job opportunities are filled through informal contacts and referrals. According to WetFeet.com, "most organizations look first at people they know and people who come recommended by people they know when it comes time to hire someone. Networking gives you an earlier chance at an opportunity, at a time when you can still help shape the job description and influence the level and pay range of the position."
Developing relationships with industry professionals may seem intimidating at first. In order to be successful, you must have a goal in mind, be genuine in your approach, and exude confidence and knowledge. Here is a general model of how the networking cycle works:
Personal Contacts
The best place to start cultivating your network is with the people you know best—friends, family, colleagues, faculty, and acquaintances; these people are not necessarily going to offer you direct job leads, but can provide advice on your resume and help you identify your skills. They are likely to have friends and colleagues of their own that may be able to help you make a connection. During this first stage, you'll want to gather information from them and be clear about what you are interested in. Ask if they know of any relevant industry professionals they can put you in touch with that could be a valuable resource.
Referred Outside Sources
Once you have gathered referrals from your personal contacts, you'll want to arrange meetings with these contacts. They may or may not know of any specific job opportunities, but can provide you with valuable information of where your skills would be a good fit, as well as useful contacts.
The "Gatekeepers" are industry professionals known by your referred outside contacts who are looking to hire. At this stage, you are speaking with professionals that either have the power to connect you directly to an opportunity, or refer you to a known opportunity.
Professional Associations
There are several for every type of career. Ask your contacts what associations they belong to, research other associations in the area, and attend meetings to expand your contact list.
Emerson Connections
Emerson Connections is an informational interviewing program available only to Emerson students and alumni. Many alumni currently working in a variety of industries and job functions have volunteered to share career information. This is a great opportunity to ask these alumni specific questions about their career fields. The information you acquire and the relationships you establish with other Emersonians will help you begin to develop your own professional network.
Networking Workshops
Career Services holds several networking workshops throughout the academic year. Through this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of networking, how to develop your own networking style, and how to successfully handle various networking situations through role-playing.
Electronic Networking
While you need to be careful of your "digital dirt", having a presence on one of the professional or social networking sites can increase your contacts. LinkedIn is the main professional networking site with many Emerson College alumni and students participating.
Networking Tips
- Have a positive attitude when you network.
- Be clear in identifying what you want— for example, requesting a half an hour of their time for industry information.
- Prepare questions in advance of a meeting or telephone conversation. Be succinct, courteous, and appreciative.
- Talk to strangers and mingle with people you don't already know at meetings and events. Introduce yourself!
- Share information, ideas, resources, and contacts with others. Networking is a two-way street.
- Limit the amount of assistance or information you seek from one person.
- Follow up on leads you have been given. You don't want to embarrass those who have made connections for you.
- Respect other people's confidentiality. Trust is a vital part of networking.
- Keep your conversations brief, and make arrangements to call or meet at another time if you discover areas of mutual interest.
- Incorporate networking into your everyday life. It is a powerful tool for marketing yourself.

CAP/ACAP Programs
The Credit Administration Program and the Advanced Credit Administration Program
The National Education Department developed the Credit Administration Program (CAP) and the Advanced Credit Administration Program (ACAP) to meet the educational needs of today's credit professional. Both programs comprise a series of college-equivalent courses designed to improve or enhance the credit professional's skills and knowledge. These courses are not designed to serve as on-the-job training courses. The CAP and ACAP programs are offered exclusively through NACM Affiliated Associations. The CAP ProgramThe Credit Administration Program provides participants with a solid foundation of knowledge and prepares applicants for the CBA designation proficiency exam.
There is a required textbook for each course which may be purchased through the NACM Bookstore. A complete list of required chapters for each text can be found in the CBA Designation Exam Study Guide. From January 1999 through December 2001, all three CAP classes were recommended for two credit hours each of college equivalency by the American Council on Education (ACE). For information on ACE or confirmation of NACM's status as a participating organization during that time, please visit ACE's web site at www.acenet.edu. The ACAP ProgramThe Advanced Credit Administration Program is a series of college equivalent courses designed to prepare credit professionals for additional managerial responsibilities and for the CBF designation exam. (A combination of course work and NACM Career Roadmap points are needed to qualify for the CBF designation exam.) The courses required for the ACAP program are:
There is a required textbook for each course which may be purchased through the NACM Bookstore. A complete list of required chapters for each text is listed in the CBF Designation Exam Study Guide. |
CAP and ACAP Course Standards and RequirementsEach CAP and ACAP course must be at least 30 hours in duration and include as a minimum a midterm and final exam. Participants must attend at least 80 percent of the course and achieve a minimum score of 70 percent to be eligible for a passing grade. Grades may be either numeric or pass/fail. Your course sponsor will provide you with a letter notifying you of your grade. Participants are also required to complete an evaluation of the course at its conclusion. A complete list of required chapters for each text can be found in the Designation Exam Study Guide. Most Affiliated Associations offer a CAP course over the course of 10 weeks; participants attend one weekly three-hour class for ten weeks. Some locations offer the courses in a 15-week format or 15 two-hour classes. The basic Financial Accounting course is a prerequisite of the Financial Statement Analysis course. In other words, the accounting course must be completed before the analysis course. Upon successful completion of the CAP program, candidates are eligible to apply for and take the Credit Business Associate (CBA) designation exam. Contact UsThe National Education Department |

The idea of winning $10 million for one weekend of playing golf always has been a fantasy for Scott Piercy.
But it's no longer a dream. The Bonanza High School product is in the 30-player field for the Tour Championship, which starts today in Atlanta. Piercy, who won the Canadian Open in late July and has earned $2,375,630 this year, was the last player to qualify.
But now that he's in, the 33-year-old has the same opportunity as Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and the 26 others, including Henderson's Nick Watney, who is ranked No. 3, heading into the opening round at East Lake Golf Club.
Former UNLV stars Adam Scott (No. 21) and Ryan Moore (No. 28) are also in the field.
Whoever wins the FedEx Cup playoffs earns a $10 million bonus. A lot of things have to fall into place for Piercy to be the last man standing. But his focus is on playing well and worrying about the things he can control, like keeping the ball in the fairway and making putts.
"I always wanted to be in this position," said Piercy, who will be in this morning's first group playing with John Senden at 8:35 a.m. "I'm playing well, and it's nice to see the results from all the training."
Piercy played his college golf at San Diego State and turned pro in 2001. He spent the first nine years grinding it out between the PGA Tour and the then-Nationwide Tour. But after making some adjustments to his swing a couple of years ago and starting to cash bigger checks, Piercy's confidence started to grow.
"The last 15 months have been pretty strong," he said. "I know where the ball's going and it's taken the guessing game out of play."
Piercy won the Reno-Tahoe Open a year ago for his first Tour victory. That helped give him some financial peace of mind.
"I had gotten frustrated," Piercy said of his inability to break through before last year. "I had the talent, but I just hadn't been as consistent as I needed to be."
But as he found more comfort with his swing and trusted his mechanics, Piercy began to elevate his game. Twice this year he shot a 10-under-par 62. The second time helped him eventually win the Canadian Open and get him into position to make the top 30.
"I'm really proud of the consistency I have now," Piercy said. "Being a dad, you have to be patient. I know I don't have to kill it off the tee. I'm a little older and a little wiser now. I wish I had this knowledge and patience back when I was 20 (years old)."
In years past, Piercy would be getting ready to play the Tour's Fall Series, which includes the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. But he won't have as much time to prepare this year as he goes after the big money. Still, Piercy figures to be someone to keep an eye on when the Shriners Open begins Oct. 4 at TPC Summerlin.
"It's a course I'm pretty familiar with," said Piercy, who has been in contention two of the last three years but failed to close the deal and wound up tied for 14th in 2009 and tied for 10th in 2011. "It's a great tournament for a great cause, and you always want to win at home."
Piercy said a win at TPC Summerlin would be the fairy-tale ending to his best season as a pro. But first things first.
"It's exciting to be in this position," he said of his current top-30 status. "It's all new to me. I just want to take advantage of this opportunity and enjoy the weekend."

WASHINGTON — It's the kind of trip President Barack Obama relishes — one that plays to his natural political abilities by taking him outside of Washington to mix it up with Americans in small towns and casual settings.
Obama embarks today on his first bus tour of the 2012 campaign as he seeks to pointedly stir up more questions about rival Mitt Romney's business record and subtly contrast himself with a Republican opponent who has struggled to connect with voters.
Dubbed the "Betting on America" tour, the two-day swing will take him through several northern Ohio communities that were critical to his 2008 win in the state and then to Pennsylvania for an event in Pittsburgh. Obama won both states four years ago, but Romney and Republicans are competing hard to win them. The president will campaign in both states as the nation's latest monthly job-creation assessment is released. Each state had an unemployment rate of 7.3 percent in May, below the national average of 8.2 percent.
Four months before the election, polls show Obama slightly leading Romney nationally and in several states that are critical in the hunt to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win the Nov. 6 election.
The race is close despite a topsy-turvy June that included the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Obama's health care law and its split decision on Arizona's 2010 immigration law.
The president's trip kicks off a new phase of his re-election campaign as he ratchets up his retail campaigning this summer before the September convention in Charlotte, N.C. Underscoring the stakes, Obama is forgoing his traditional summer vacation to Martha's Vineyard, Mass., to focus on the campaign, though he spent a long weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat.
Romney, in turn, was spending the entire week relaxing with his family at his lakeside estate in Wolfeboro, N.H., where he's been seen taking his grandchildren for ice cream, jet skiing with his wife and playing volleyball with his five sons. It's a personal side of him the public has rarely seen during two primary campaigns in which he sometimes came off as awkward and forced, making clear that retail campaigning is not his strong suit.
Obama, conversely, is a charismatic campaigner who tends to easily connect with his audiences and draw energy from voters in diverse venues, from big rallies to roadside diners.
The president's bus tour follows a six-state bus trip by Romney through the Midwest last month that included stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Recent polls by Quinnipiac University found that Obama held a 9-percentage-point lead over Romney in Ohio, and a 6-point lead in Pennsylvania. No Republican has ever won the presidency without Ohio, making it a firewall for Obama. Pennsylvania also gives the Democratic president a large 900,000-vote registration advantage over Republicans.
Both sides are competing hard in the states. The president's campaign has spent nearly $16 million in television advertising in Ohio through late June while the Democratic super PAC Priorities USA Action has spent about $2.7 million, according to officials who track ad buys. Romney's campaign has spent about $5 million but a series of GOP-leaning outside groups have spent another $8 million, helping the Republican blunt Obama's message.
The president's itinerary takes him across the northern, manufacturing belt of Ohio that has felt the recession's sting perhaps more acutely than other parts of the state. It includes stops at a museum complex in Maumee that gives visitors a sense of life in the early 19th century, an ice cream social in a park in Sandusky and an event at a park in Parma, a suburb of Cleveland. Friday's schedule includes a stop at an elementary school in Poland, Ohio, near Youngstown, followed by a speech at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
The region — packed with white, working-class voters — will serve as a backdrop for Obama as he works to undercut Romney's key rationale for his candidacy, his nearly three decades in the private sector. Obama's campaign and allied groups have spent weeks raising questions about Romney's time at the head of a private equity firm. The Democrats have jumped on reports that Romney's Bain Capital invested in companies that shifted jobs overseas to cut costs.
Earlier this week, Obama's campaign released a new TV ad, airing in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states, that says: "Mitt Romney's companies were pioneers in outsourcing U.S. jobs to low-wage countries. He supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. President Obama believes in insourcing." The ad also highlights Obama's decision to rescue U.S. automakers General Motors and Chrysler. Both companies have a large manufacturing footprint in Ohio.
Former Gov. Ted Strickland, D-Ohio, previewed the president's expected critique in a conference call organized by Obama's campaign, saying: "Romney literally made a fortune investing in companies that were pioneers in sending jobs to countries like China and India. Romney didn't bet on the American worker, he bet against them."
Romney's team counters that Obama has presided over a series of broken promises on unemployment, the economy and the federal deficit.
"No one should bet against America. But we certainly shouldn't double-down on Barack Obama," said former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a top Romney surrogate. "We tried that and it ended up in a busted hand."
The bus tour will coincide with Friday's release of the June jobs report. The May report showed unemployment had ticked up to 8.2 percent while the economy created 69,000 jobs, raising concerns among Obama's team about the potential for the economy to slow down. Earlier this week, economists reported that U.S. manufacturing shrank in June for the first time in nearly three years, adding to the questions about the economy.
Another bad report could undermine Obama's argument that the economy has shown signs of improvement and can rebound more fully if Republicans in Congress implement some of his ideas on job creation. An Associated Press-GfK poll released last month found that more than half of those surveyed, 52 percent, disapproved of his handling of unemployment, compared with 45 percent who approved.

In the final phase of the Oscar campaign, Christoph Waltz twinkled on SNL last night, in one of the best episodes of the season. Nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Django Unchained," Waltz's best sketch of the evening was a send up of Tarantino's "revenge fantasy," "Djesus Uncrossed." With a million-dollar grin on his face, the Austrian actor teased his country a bit in the opening monologue — posted below along with "Djesus."
– Nominated for Best Director for "Life of Pi," Ang Lee made an appearance on ABC's Nightline to discuss the obsessive, detail-oriented work required for the film. Watching the clips from his movie, Lee acts like he's hosting a magic show, revealing what was real and what was not. He also recounts that he loved the book, but didn't see it as a movie at all — a thought that kept haunting him and ultimately drove his desire to bring the novel to the big screen. Watch the charming interview here or below.
– Jacki Weaver, nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook" spoke on NPR about working with Robert De Niro and David O. Russell, who she calls "the actor whisperer." In one of the highlights of the interview, she says that she imagined the role as someone like herself from the moment she read the script: "Dolores looked to me exactly like I looked. She looked like a buxom, cuddly redhead who still cared about the way she looked, but had had her share of cares and worries." She also says of her second Oscar nomination (she was nominated for "Animal Kingdom" two years ago), "a lovely American journalist said to me, 'Your second Oscar nomination means that the first one was not a fluke.'"

The distribution and dispersion of debt burden ratios among households in Poland and its implications for financial stability
In: Proceedings of the IFC Conference on "Measuring the financial position of the household sector", Basel, 30-31 August 2006 - Volume 2
Debt burden ratio as measured on the aggregate level does not give an adequate assessment of the ability of the household sector to repay its debt. The low level of financial deepening in Poland is primarily reflected in a low percentage of households that have been granted a loan. Therefore, the average debt burden for households, which have any debt outstandings could be much higher than the one measured on the aggregate level. If the debt is concentrated among groups of households with lower incomes, it can threat the financial stability in case of FX or interest rate shocks. Using the data from Polish Households Budget Survey we first define three different measures of debt burden and calculate its dispersion in time and distribution among income groups. We find that (1) the total debt service burden and loan service burden ratios are on lower levels than in other European countries and recently have not risen substantially, (2) the mortgage debt service burden ratio has been rapidly increasing in the last four years especially in lower income groups of households reaching in 2004 the 3/4 of the level noted in EU-15. In comparison with EU it seems that the level of indebtedness of house- holds in Poland is on a secure level. However, we notice that the secure level of debt burden ratio is on a lower level in emerging market countries than in wealthier countries because of the higher share of basic living costs in total consumption expenditure. Therefore, the increasing levels of mortgage debt service ratios in lower-income groups could pose a potential threat to the financial stability in case of FX or interest rate shock.

text: Two Linguists Have Discovered a Completely Unique, Reality-Shifting Language in IndiaSam Biddle10/07/10 12:00amFiled to: LanguageKorolinguisticsLinguistsGregoryandersonhimalayaHimalayas396EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Every two weeks, the last person capable of fluently speaking one of humankind's over 6,000 languages dies. Let that sink in. Then, consider that two linguists have discovered a new one—unlike any other ever encountered in history. The language, called Koro, was found within a tiny community of around 800 inhabitants of the Himalayan foothills—nestled in a region where 120 other dialects are already in use. The discovery of Koro is of enormous importance to linguists for reasons beyond its novelty. Koro sounds and is structured like no other language on earth, giving scientists an opportunity to interact with a population whose conception of the world is, because of the words they use, fundamentally different from the rest of us. Koro speakers "uniquely code knowledge of the natural world in ways that cannot be translated into a major language," explains Dr. Gregory Anderson, one of the linguists behind the breakthrough.

Home >> Knowledge and Learning >> Events >> Training Home Page >> Water Generation USP WFI & Purified Water
Level: Intermediate
ISPE CEUs: 1.5
Type: Classroom Training Course
Includes Webinar
Note: ISPE has two Pharmaceutical Water training courses that we deliver consecutively at our training events. You might also be interested in the Storage Delivery and Qualification of Pharmaceutical Waters training course.
Pharmaceutical water is perhaps the most important of all pharmaceutical utilities. It is used as an excipient in many pharmaceutical formulations, as a cleaning agent, and as a separately packaged product diluent. In addition to non-compendial systems, pharmaceutical facilities typically include systems for generating USP Purified Water (PW) and USP Water-For-Injection (WFI). This course has been substantially updated to feature the guiding principles of the ISPE Baseline Guide: Water and Steam Systems (Second Edition) with particular emphasis placed upon the new chapters for microbial control and laboratory water as well as key design philosophies. The course will include discussion of the upcoming European Pharmacopoeia regulatory change allowing alternative WFI production methods in addition to distillation. The change will align EP requirements closely with USP WFI production methods opening opportunities for membrane based systems. The course will also include material from the new ISPE Good Practice Guide: Sampling for Pharmaceutical Water, Steam and Process Gases and will review optimizing sampling plans to significantly reduce operational costs.
The principles of design and operation of water systems used directly in pharmaceutical manufacturing and laboratory applications, including the essential concepts and principles of systems used to generate USP and non-compendial waters will be covered. These concepts include specification, design, operation, testing, and maintenance of equipment and systems for water generation. Participants will examine methods for proper water quality selection, information on compendial and non-compendial waters, fundamentals of basic water chemistry, and information on common unit operations (deionization, reverse osmosis, and distillation). Pre-treatment systems, detailed guidance for selection of construction materials, and operations issues related to pharmaceutical water generation systems will also be discussed.
It is important to note that the different compendial pharmaceutical waters have different specifications. The commissioning and qualification practices described in the Good Practice Guide: C&Q of Water and Steam Systems (Second Edition) to create and preserve water quality, in both generation systems and distribution systems, may vary according to the type of compendial water. Common water system myths will also be explored and a variety of practical system designs will be evaluated for USP and FDA compliance, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Particular attention will be paid to system and component sanitization procedures and microbial control.
Immediately apply the course learning objectives with the complimentary copies of the Water and Steam Systems Baseline® Guide (Second Edition) and the Good Practice Guide: C&Q of Water and Steam Systems (Second Edition).
This course includes a pre-recorded Webinar that provides a review of the basics prior to the classroom course. Access information will be provided via email one week prior to the start of the training event.
This training course is of particular interest to existing and future members of the ISPE Critical Utilities Community of Practice (COP).

Aston Villa man rejects West Ham as Leeds hover
PUBLISHED: 15:32 29 January 2013 | UPDATED: 15:33 29 January 2013
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Transfer news: Sam Allardyce today revealed West Ham's plans to bring in left-back Stephen Warnock from Aston Villa have been derailed, as the 31-year-old now looks set to join Leeds instead.
The West Ham boss has been desperate to strengthen his defence this January, and wanted Warnock to follow Emanuel Pogatetz's arrival.
"Stephen we thought was a goer yesterday, but we had another club in the Championship make him a longer-term offer, which he has accepted," said Allardyce.
"Ours was more a short-term offer with a view to a further and longer deal, but at the end of the day he chose the more secure one.
"That was a lot of hard work which went to waste yet again. You constantly waste your time because 99% of the time you don't get what you want.
"We have been looking for a defender since late December and it has taken until this week to get Emanuel Pogatetz in."

Call for government reorganization opens new doors
In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said winning the future will take doing what we can do now to prepare the United States to compete in the global economy for decades. That entails education, innovation, competition, fiscal responsibility, deficit reduction, and reforms in our government to make it more effective, efficient and open to the people. As Obama put it, "We cannot win the future with a government of the past."
The president's statement and his call "to merge, consolidate and reorganize the federal government in a way that will…meet the challenges of the 21st century" seemed to catch some in the White House by surprise. The day after the speech, former Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wasn't able to come up with any details or say who would lead the effort. However, by the following Sunday, the White House had rallied, and Deputy Director for Management/Chief Performance Officer Jeffrey Zients was named to lead the reorganization effort. Lisa Brown, assistant to the president and staff secretary, will work with Zients.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House is considering combining a set of agencies involved in trade and exports. It noted a report by the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank, that suggested creating a Department of Business, Trade and Technology that would include much of the Commerce Department. Folded in would be the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Small Business Administration and the Export-Import Bank.
But if the effort merely involves moving boxes, redrawing lines, or consolidating overlapping or duplicative programs, then Paul Light of New York University would have hit the nail on the head when he said, "We will have missed a once-in-a-generation opportunity for comprehensive reform."
The federal government is undergoing tremendous changes on many levels, driven by a number of forces.
Any one of those factors would be a major driver for government. But their convergence creates a unique opportunity for our nation.
No new model has yet emerged for that "Fortune One" company, the federal government. This much, though, is clear: It will need to be flexible, agile, able to quickly adjust and ruthless in reallocating resources. Power and decision-making will need to be pushed down the organization as much as possible rather than concentrated at the top.
Traditional bureaucratic structures will need to be replaced by ad hoc teams of peers who come together to tackle projects and then disband. Information gathering will be broader and more inclusive. New mechanisms will be necessary to harness the wisdom of crowds. Feedback loops will need to be built that allow services to constantly evolve in response to new information.
Change, innovation and adaptability all have to become the norm. Such comprehensive reform thinking would more likely produce the 21st-century government that Obama called for in his address to the nation. Although the state of the union might be strong, I don't think we can say the same about our government.

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.

Binghamton University summer research program celebrates ten years
Underrepresented students from community colleges statewide will show off the results of a five-week summer research program in a poster session to be held at 11 a.m. Friday, June 27, in the Appalachian Collegiate Center on the Binghamton University campus. The students, who are participants in the SUNY Upstate Bridges to Baccalaureate program, were paired with Binghamton University faculty mentors to conduct a variety of experiments and research projects. The poster session is the culmination of the program, allowing participants the opportunity to display their research accomplishments using text and graphics. Research projects on display will explore DNA binding proteins involved in cancer, the strategies and tools for solving real-world problems in chemical/biological sensors and testing pollution levels in local urban creek watersheds. This is the 10th year Binghamton University has participated in the SUNY Upstate Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program, which was established to increase the number of underrepresented minority students pursuing and earning baccalaureate degrees in the biomedical sciences. Students accepted into this year's program are from Broome, Monroe, Onondaga, Rockland and Westchester community colleges. The program guarantees Binghamton University admission to underrepresented students who have maintained a 2.7grade point average in science courses and overall at selected community colleges. Such students include, but are not limited to, U.S. citizens who are African-American, Hispanic-American, Native American and natives of the U.S. Pacific Islands. Bridges students receive a combination of mentoring, tutoring and financial support throughout the program, as well as the opportunity for hands-on research, which includes the Binghamton Summer Research Program. Throughout the program, co-coordinators at each of the community colleges work closely with Binghamton staff and faculty to build ties that will lead to student success there and later at a baccalaureate institution. For more information on Binghamton's program, visit http://bridges.clt.binghamton.edu

Fishing - Region 1
Mon Apr 01 10:17:00 MDT 2013
In a draft environmental assessment (EA) dated August 9, 2012, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (MFWP) proposed removing an illegal introduction of northern pike from Bass Lake and Mud Creek in northwest Montana by applying a commercial formulation of rotenone (a pesticide poisonous to fish) to the lake and nearby stream system, and then restocking the lake with westslope cutthroat trout.
The draft EA was out for public review through October 9, 2012, and a public meeting with landowners was held on December 12, 2012, in Eureka. Based on the comments received during the public comment period and at the public meeting, MFWP acknowledges the public's concerns, and it is recommended that MFWP does not implement plans to chemically remove northern pike from Mud Creek and Bass Lake at this time. Instead, over the next two years FWP will involve the landowners in exploring alternative means of suppression including use of electrofishing, nets, and traps. FWP will also work with interested parties to understand how rotenone functions in the environment. At the end of two years FWP will analyze the information and develop a long-term management plan for Bass Lake, conducting additional environmental assessment if necessary.
No changes were made to the draft EA; therefore, the draft together with the decision notice will become the final document. Copies of the decision notice are available at the FWP office, 490 N. Meridian Rd., Kalispell; Montana State Library, 1515 E 6th Ave., Helena; Lincoln County Libraries, 220 W 6th St., Libby, 207 N 3rd, Troy, and 318 Dewey Avenue, Eureka; and the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov under Public Notices.
Contact person: FWP Fisheries Biologist Jim Dunnigan, (406) 293-4161, Ext. 200, or e-mail to email@example.com with questions or comments.

It is also possible they are home, normally you get a very good idea when they are sent home if it is for one month or longer, but it does vary each season.
Here it is the BIG WALKOUT is on next week April 17, 2012.
Since the two hour show is split we will probably get a glimpse and end with a cliff hanger next week. The action will be the following week.
According to my DVR info... 4/24 episode: Eliminated players return to compete in a four part challenge in order to win a spot in the final. One hour long episode.
So what if the show brings back elminated players. I know it isn't "fair" but the show is always having twists and you bet it is in the contract they sign that the show can do these twists. Why complain if you can't change it? That is my motto...
It's not as if they haven't brought back eliminated players before. Ali Vincent anyone.
I personally hope that all that are left stay off and the last 5 eliminated come back and compete for the finale. That would be too funny for words.
As long as neither of the (as someone SO wonderfully put it) gruesome twosome win it, I'll be okay with whoever DOES win....the grand and at-home prize.
And Ramone last year won the marathon to get a spot in the finale...
Like I said, this group is a bunch of whiny babies that throw fits when they don't get their way.
I just hope they all aren't like that. What kind of example is being this way to your kids?

The pic's budget is around $11 million, with the Danish Film Institute putting in $1.5 million and Filmstiftung Nordhrein-Westfalen in Germany contributing $1.3 million. Written by von Trier and Anders Thomas Jensen, the film is about a couple who move to an isolated cabin after the death of their son, only to find sinister forces at play.

So, I listened to one of the recent podcasts about 'innovation champions'. It's about three questions: Who are the innovation champions? What to find them? And how to keep them? I'll give you a short summary.
Innovation champions are the really passionate and fanatic people in your organization.
To find them: ask employees what they are working on and what they find exciting.
Make sure you offer innovator protection. Give them the authority to decide. This doesn't imply that they have to lead the project, although sometimes they could. Also give them resources to realize their passion. But work with 'constraint-based innovation', which means: don't give them 100% of the resources to help them focus.
Phil also gives an interesting creativity exercise. And you can join the Facebook group "Killer innovations".
I subscribed to Phil's blog and podcast. His podcast is now one of my favorites too.

Genealogies of the Agard, Nunn, Hardenbrook, Wortman, Doyle, and Tucker family lines.

Tuesday's Tip - Beware! Online Cemetery Transcriptions
The title of this blog is a bit alarmist, but I wanted to
get your attention. Today's tip is
just a reminder that cemetery transcriptions are not always complete. That is especially true of those such
as Find A Grave.
There are reasons for this, and a couple are: the deceased person's card or record was
missed when the transcription was done as was the case with Lafayette Cutter in the Woodlawn
Cemetery in Newfield, NY; there may be older cemetery transcriptions on
websites that have not been updated, as was with Enoch and Emma Hardenbrook in the Ovid Union Cemetery in Ovid, New
York, or it was not recorded because the transcription was done from reading
the stones, and either the stone had disintegrated or your ancestor did not
have a stone (again the case with Lafayette Cutter).
I was searching for Nathaniel
Simpson's date of death.
Nathaniel and his wife, Mary, raised my great-grandfather Enos Hardenbrook. Although his wife, Mary Simpson, is buried in Trumansburg's
Grove Cemetery, Nathaniel was not listed, nor could I find him in any of
the local Ulysses cemeteries.
The Index of
Trumansburg Newspapers 1827-1940 by Bernece B. Weitzel, stated Nathaniel
died in January 1930. I had the opportunity this weekend to
view the 31 January 1930 microfilm of the Free
Press and Sentinel at the Ulysses Philomatic Library in Trumansburg, New
York. There I found Nathaniel's obituary that stated Nathaniel died 28 January
1930 and he was indeed buried in Grove
Cemetery. We did not have time
to visit the cemetery, but I will be in contact with the sexton and verify the
location of Nathaniel's grave.
A reminder – don't take the online lists as "gospel." Check with the cemetery sexton or the
town clerk in the locality where the cemetery is located to verify the burials
in the particular cemetery in which you are looking.
As a postscript: my husband recently purchased a stone for Lafayette Cutter. My husband located Lafayette's grave in April 2011, exactly 100 years from Lafayette's date of death. Lafayette was the only one in that family plot
without a stone. The stone is lovely, as close as possible in keeping with the
other family stones.
2 comments:
Thanks very much for the reminder, which extends to transcriptions of almost any kind. My g-grandfather is listed in the cemetery's records--online AND in the printed record card at the office--as Max, but his name was really Mayer. In other words, whoever printed or typed the cemetery's index card for him didn't transcribe it correctly from the headstone or got it wrong from a relative. Only because I looked at the stone could I confirm that it was him! Guess there's no substitute for checking the originals.

In this podcast, Julien Delange discusses two extensions to the Architecture Analysis and Design Language: the behavior annex and the error-model annex. The behavior annex represents the functional logic of AADL components and interacts with the other system elements. SEI researchers are currently participating in the ongoing improvements of this extension of the AADL by connecting it to other analysis tools. The error model annex augments the architecture description by specifying safety concerns of the system (error propagation, error behavior, etc.). The language is the foundation of new analysis tools that provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of system safety and reliability. SEI researches have defined new tools that analyze the model and produces safety validation documents, such as the one required by safety standard such as the SAE ARP4761.
Categories: Software Architecture
Julien Delange, has been at the SEI since November of 2012. His work focuses on the Architecture Analysis and Design Language, also called AADL. Before joining the SEI, Delange worked as a software engineer at the European Space Agency where he led and contributed to several research projects related to software and system architectures. He also has a Ph.D. from Telecom ParisTech in France and developed the real-time operating system called POK for building safe and secure systems.

Isabel Hoch, Kerri Dadalski and the Ryan softball program shook off a late 2-1 deficit to overcome St. Hubert and claim their second consecutive Catholic League championship.
Behind strong pitching from Melissa Hess and even stronger leadership from its captains, St. Hubert softball is back on top.
After missing out on playing in the Catholic League softball title game for the first time in seven years, St. Hubert is hoping for a return to championship form.
As tantalizing as the prospect of potentially winning in extra innings on Senior Day was, Brittany Smith wasn't having it.
It was just one of those days when very little went St. Hubert's way.

The controversy that has surrounded the involvement of US professors in a campaign opposing media monopolization in the past week served as a reminder — inadvertently so for the principal target of the campaign — that while Chinese influence in the nation's media is of major concern, reprehensible behavior at home is equally problematic.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Noam Chomsky probably never knew that when he accepted an invitation by a young Taiwanese to have his picture taken with a placard opposing media monopolization in Taiwan, he would get sucked into the vortex of cross-strait politics.
Whether, as he claims, he was unaware of the China angle, is secondary. What matters is that the reaction by the Want Want China Times Group once again showed how vicious and totalitarian its outlets can get when the group or its chairman, Tsai Eng-meng (蔡衍明), face criticism.
The group is a repeat offender, orchestrating print media and the airwaves it controls to launch ad hominem abuse against whoever stands in its way. It spares no one, dedicating entire pages in its newspapers and hours on its news and TV talk shows crucifying media watchdogs, government employees, professors and young students. It bends the truth, fabricates information, mistranslates comments or uses them out of context, threatens lawsuits, insults and resorts to systematic character assassination.
It also unleashed vile minions, such as CtiTV Washington bureau chief John Zang (臧國華), to interview the MIT professor — the same Zang who, in early 2009, literally stalked former president Chen Shui-bian's (陳水扁) daughter, Chen Hsing-yu (陳幸妤), when she was in New York, forcing hotel management where she was staying to expel him and necessitating the intervention of umbrella-touting Taiwanese-Americans to protect her.
The above incidents alone — and they are rife — are sufficient to demonstrate that Tsai's media empire will not engage in responsible journalism, a key component of any healthy democratic system. The group needs not even receive money from China through illegal adverts, or fail to report on China's rampant human rights abuses (the China Times' fate since Tsai acquired it), for it to act as a cancer in the nation's media environment. Its despicable behavior alone makes it clear that a greater role for Tsai's media empire will cause severe harm to the nation's democratic fabric and the quality of its journalism.
This aspect of the group has not received the attention it deserves, but it should.
If approval of its acquisition of cable television channels and, as part of a consortium, of Next Media's outlets in Taiwan is solely contingent on demonstrating that it does not receive money from China, or if the acquisitions are dealt with purely along financial lines, then chances are they will go through and Tsai will increase his control of the entire media spectrum. As such, greater emphasis should be placed on the inability of the outlets controlled by Tsai to act responsibly and to contribute to, rather than poison, the nation's media.
Some could counter that the group's behavior is defensible under freedom of speech and that it ultimately makes a contribution to pluralism. That argument misses the point: Freedom of speech is both a right and a responsibility, and its greatest value derives from the ability to strike a balance between those two imperatives.

$1.5 million expansion to create five jobs at J&M Manufacturing
FORT RECOVERY - J&M Manufacturing expects to begin a $1.5 million addition next month that will add five full-time jobs.
This will be the second time in two years the manufacturer of heavy farm equipment has expanded and improved its research and development capabilities, according to co-owner Scott Grieshop.
The company at 284 Railroad St. intends to build a 30,000-square-foot structure to house additional laser-cutting technology to support current production and future expansion of its manufacturing.
Work is scheduled to begin April 15 with the addition to be completed by Oct. 31.
Fort Recovery Board of Education and Fort Recovery Village Council members this week approved an enterprise zone agreement granting J&M a 10-year property tax exemption on the new building, which shall not exceed $1.25 million during the life of the project.
As part of the agreement, J&M promises to create the equivalent of five full-time jobs within three years, increasing the company's annual payroll by $300,000.
The agreement now needs the approval of Mercer County Commissioners.
At the board of education meeting this week, school treasurer Lori Koch said the school is key to the agreement, as the district would lose the revenue from property taxes on the new addition.
Koch pointed out that J&M fulfilled its obligations of the last tax-abatement agreement and recently donated $100,000 toward the creation of the new, $900,000 student center connected to the high school, named the Jerome and Maurice Grieshop Athletic Training Facility.
School board members approved the contract Monday and village council members ratified the agreement at a special meeting Wednesday night.
J&M Manufacturing makes grain cars, gravity wagons and other grain-handling equipment. The company started in 1960 with 12 employees in a 1,200-square-foot building and today employs about 200 people on eight acres of land.
Last year, J&M Manufacturing constructed a 52,000-square-foot building for research and development as part of a $2 million expansion project.
Company officials obtained a 10-year property tax exemption on that development with the agreement to create five new jobs.

Blend and mixture are synonymous.
Hottest in this context means to me the most desirable - the latest fashionable musician.
Student or Learner
Leehom Wang, known for his unique blend of Western hip-hop and traditional Chinese music, is one of Asia's hottest and most influential pop stars.
For me, blend in the above seems to be equivalent to "mixture/conbination." But I'm afraid that I'm under the false impression. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
P.S. Are hottest in the above and most popular interchangeable?
Blend and mixture are synonymous.
Hottest in this context means to me the most desirable - the latest fashionable musician.
sorry for the intervention.
it would be better to say "one of the Asia's hottest and most influential artists" than " one of Asia's hottest~~"?
I think 'The' must be in the sentence
is there anyone to clarify the concept?
angliholic, I come across Wang Leehonm in a film named " lust and caution"
I thought he were just a movie star. does he sing too? lol
A blend or a mixture has more feeling of many things being stirred together to create a unique result.
Combination seems more like two things joined together.
new clothing line = In the fashion world a new line of clothing is a cohesive set of designs, which may include accessories, shoes, and clothing.
Thanks, Anglika.

Rock icon Chuck Berry experienced a health scare last night in Chicago when he collapsed on his keyboard while performing at the Congress Theater, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The newspaper said Berry's head was on the keyboard and that he didn't move for a brief while. He was then assisted by people who escorted him off the stage.
After 20 minutes, the 84-year-old legend returned and tried to perform with his guitar but then told the crowd he didn't have the strength.
A Chicago fire official said that Berry was ill before the show and was checked out by ambulance personnel, The Associated Press reported. Fire department spokesman Joe Roccasalva said Berry felt better and signed a release.
The Sun-Times said that Berry, who had just recently played two shows at New York's B.B. King Blues Club and Grill on New Year's Eve, was not in sync with his Chicago band during the show last night.

Great hostel that definitely deserves it's good reputation. My dorm was very comfortable and spacious (no bunk beds!) and it was hands down the best free hostel breakfast I've ever had. The area the hostel is in felt very safe, and there were great restaurants within footsteps. The only thing I could knock it for is that the hostel vibe seemed a bit lacking and people seemed to mostly keep to their own groups. That being said, I met some great people in my room and the staff was very friendly.

Very good quality hostel in a good location. We've stayed in a private double room with an ensuite, and it was great, very spacious, clean and modern. There is also free parking on site. Unfortunately, the reception staff wasn't exceptionally helpful or friendly. The girls would barely offer a smile, ignored our existence at the reception desk at times. Dutch girl Helena was a pleasant exception, she was very nice and always happy to help. Everyone else should not work in client services roles.

It's a bit unfair to review Atlantic Point after staying at the BIG down the street for a month. I wasn't keen on the staff who weren't really friendly & avoided eye contact. The artificial grass/turf carpeting really cheapens the place. The breakfast was good & filling but served to you like you were receiving daily rations. There were a few items in the bathroom that were in disrepair or out of order. I didn't like how the lights turned off after 4 minutes. The hostel is also fairly noisy.

Overall a wonderful experience. An excellent choice when arriving by car. (I can't speak for backpackers.) Three free parking spots in protected courtyard and plenty of street parking. Grocery store nearby. Short walk to V&A tourist district. Well-equipped kitchen and lots of airy common space. Would have stayed longer but they were full.
Awesome awesome awesome! Hopefully we'll see you again soon!

Nicely located in Green Point. 10 minute walk to the Waterfront. Really clean and nice vibe to the hostel. Staff were a little unfriendly...might have been a new starter.
Thanks so much for your review! We often do have new employees in the midst of training, this keeps our staff fresh and motivated and allows us to offer experiences through them to our guests!

I can't write more details about my experience in this hostel because I just spend one night. But however the little time I could realize how cool is this hostel. Every room is cool, rich of details like a thematic hostel, beds and bathrooms like I've never seen, affordable price. I recommend spend a week in this hostel, really worth!
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We hope you can stay longer next time!

Clean and located in the safe area. 10 mins walk to V&A, 20 mins to downtown. Easily accessible from/to airport by bus. There's a bar on the 2nd FL which is a good place to socialize. Not exactly a party hostel but they sometimes arrange a night out to Long st. Breakfast is included but I suggest you should change the menu. Pancake and boil egg for the pass 6 days was a bit too boring. Staffs were friendly and most of them are interns. Strongly recommend!
Thanks so much for the kind review!

Ravens Fly to Falcons on Short Rest
Posted By Lea Anderson On Nov 10 2010 @ 7:25 pm In Baltimore Ravens | No Comments
Short rest. Quick turnaround. Short time to heal from and celebrate their week 9 victory. The Ravens fly south to flock against the Falcons at the Georgia Dome on Thursday night. With both teams standing at 6-2 and some saying this could be a Super Bowl preview, it will be question of who can handle the short week, short rest and a battle of two similar birds for this AFC-NFC showdown.
Peter King reminded us in his MMMQ – Tuesday Edition [1] that ATL QB Matt Ryan could have been a Raven back in the 2008 draft had the Rams agreed to a trade for draft picks. Had this have happened, the Ravens would not be enjoying the services of RB Ray Rice and all of those yards he runs up on the stat sheets. It's funny how things work out and both sides are happy with their 3rd year QB's who are settling in on their position and climbing the ladder to elite QB status. Both of these QB's have Linus' blanket – Roddy White (who is expected to play despite a knee injury last Sunday) and Derrick Mason – to keep them assured of completions. And both have the comfort of a defense that puts them in offensive positions to score. But maybe Ryan has the edge when it comes to winning at home – he is 17-1 at home since becoming the Falcons starting QB. Flacco is going to have chances to throw dimes and for long yardage as the Falcons are ranked a lowly 26th against the pass giving up an average of 250.5 yds/game and have a penchant for giving up long balls in their last three games. The Tubbies on the Line will have to keep the aggressive Falcons blitzing packages from disrupting Flacco. The Falcons are good if not great at creating turnovers, having 13 interceptions from 10 different players.
Defensively, the Ravens come into the game ranked 13th defensively against the run allowing 104.8 yards/game. This is not the Ravens run defense that we have come to know and love. Thus, the team is going to have to shore up the front line and keep RB Michael Turner from racking up yards. Turner has ran over and through teams for 100+ yards in 4 of his last six games. However, maybe the 3-4 Ravens D will give him some trouble. Disrupting Ryan's rhythm and getting him uncomfortable in the pocket will bode well for the Ravens. Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs won't have many opportunities to get to Ryan as the Falcons have only yielded 13 sacks, but nonetheless, hurries and getting Ryan in long down situations is what the Ravens need.
When these two birds flock together on Thursday night, it will be a case of two different species with their sights on the same end season goal: the Lombardi Trophy. We have now turned the page to the second half of the season and all the pieces to a teams puzzle should be coming together. Both the Ravens and Falcons mirror each other, but the Ravens have the task of stopping both White and Turner. With teams so closely matched, whoever wins the turnover flies with a win.

The Leftovers
A town struggles to recover after millions disappear in a Rapture-like event; HBO series.
USA TODAY Best-Selling Books
- - this week
- - last week
- #51 Best Week
- 3 Weeks on list
USA TODAY Review
Tom Perrotta's 'The Leftovers' is a tasty treat
The Leftovers. Amusing name for a satirical novel about the suburbs, right?
Sure. But Tom Perrotta's latest — an ambitious, clever, funny, poignant talker that has Big Fall Hit written all over it — is no postmodern riff on 3-day-old meatloaf.
No, these leftovers are people, the ones "Left Behind" by an event known as the "Sudden Departure." On Oct. 14, Perrotta writes in an obvious nod to 9/11, "people disappeared, millions of them at the same time, all over the world."
Was it the Rapture? Well, there's an inconvenient little truth: It seems to have been a "random harvest," with Muslims, Jews, atheists and homosexuals (not to mention J.Lo, Vladimir Putin, Adam Sandler and the pope) among the disappeared. Plenty of irritated super-devout Christians are still hanging around here on Earth, along with all sorts of bewildered ordinary folks.
Among them are the residents of Mapleton, a typical Perrotta bedroom community, who try to cope as the third anniversary of Oct. 14 looms.
Kevin Garvey is the everyman mayor of Mapleton, a good guy whose answer to the Sudden Departure is to remain "bizarrely upbeat."
His wife, Laurie, a former agnostic, has seen the light in the wake of the apocalypse. She has left Kevin and joined the Guilty Remnant, a fringe group whose members wear all white, maintain silence, smoke like fiends (cancer won't kill them, because the world will end first) and stalk their old neighbors and loved ones.
Their teenage daughter, Jill, has gone from A-student to would-be bad girl. Her best friend disappeared in front of her eyes, but cynical Jill, an Eyewitness, "knew how easy it was to romanticize the missing, to pretend that they were better than they really were, somehow superior to the losers who'd been left behind."
And the Garveys' son, Tom, has dropped out of college to follow a self-proclaimed Messiah named Holy Wayne, who lost his little boy on 10/14 and is now impregnating teenage girls in the belief one will deliver his "Miracle Child" to save the world. (With Tom and Laurie gone and out of touch, being "left behind" is becoming a painful metaphor in Mapleton.)
Then there's Nora Durst, known in town as the Woman Who Had Lost Everything — husband, 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter, all gone in a poof. She's dating Kevin but keeps pulling back, refusing to divulge any details about That Day. (In one of the novel's typical tasty zingers, Nora learns post-Departure that her husband was cheating on her with their kids' sexy young teacher — news delivered by her ex-minister, now a local Rapture Denial gadfly obsessed with exposing corrupt morals among the disappeared.)
Perrotta brings his customary satirical "A" game to The Leftovers: shaking and stirring wit, snark, social commentary — along with a dark dash of paranoia and menace — into his cocktail mix.
But the author of Election and Little Children raises his game to a new level here. (HBO already is working with Perrotta to develop a series based on the novel.)
His characters have a surprising depth to them, and we feel their confusion, pain and suffering. We know them. We hope they can figure out a way to live — because even after a catastrophe, life goes on.
Read The Leftovers. Don't get left behind.
