Tell us a little bit about yourself (Your studies, When did you join Dell etc.)
I started at Dell Singapore in 2014 as an MBA summer intern in the Program Management organization from Nanyang Business School, Singapore. Now, I am a Global Commodity and Supply Chain manager at worldwide procurement.
What has your experience like as a University hire been? How did you hear about Dell and what was the application process like?
I got information regarding the internship from my Business School's job posting service. I received a mail within a couple of weeks stating that my CV has been shortlisted. I had two rounds of interview after which my internship offer was given. During my internship, I was explained why I am doing what I am doing and had clear mutually agreeable measurable goals and included training and supervision and executive presentations. I was offered a full-time position upon completion of my MBA after the strong performance in my internship.
Why did you choose to come work at Dell?
I know that Dell is a customer-inspired end-to-end IT solutions provider at Dell the business is free to transform and adapt to the world at large. This gives me the opportunity to think globally and grasp great opportunities that come along.

I am part of Dell's badminton club and in addition it is great to have a co-worker be my workout buddy because then we can become even closer friends.
How would you describe Dell to your university friends and why does it make a great employer for a recent graduate or intern?
Dell provides a dynamic and supportive environment for professional development. In addition, Dell understands the importance of having successful career and full life outside of work. It is a wonderful opportunity to work with talented colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

2 Chainz Dishes On His Culinary Favorites In #MEAL Time Cookbook (Photos)
Three years ago, 2 Chainz released a video for his Lex Luger-produced anthem "Kitchen." The visuals depicted the ATL native shirtless and cheffing it up in the back of a restaurant. The opening lyrics: "I go hard in the motherfucking kitchen," may have foreshadowed the release of his #MEAL TIME cookbook.
2 Chainz will offer his favorite recipes in conjunction with his latest album B.O.A.T.S. 2 Me Time. The cookbook includes 26 full pages of recipes presented by 2 Chainz and Chef Aleem. Check out a few of chef Chainz' favorite foods in the gallery above.

Serena, Sharapova to square off in Key Biscayne final
Key Biscayne, FL – Serena Williams wasted little time joining Maria Sharapova in the Sony Open final.
The top-seeded Williams blitzed reigning champion Agnieszka Radwanska, 6-0, 6- 3, Thursday night to set up a highly anticipated final between the top two players on tour.
Earlier, Sharapova whipped fellow former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic, 6-2, 6-1 on a sun-drenched afternoon at the Tennis Center at Crandon Park to reach her third straight Key Biscayne championship match and fifth overall, though she has yet to wear the crown.
The third-seeded Sharapova won the first 10 points of the match en route to blowing away the 22nd-seeded Jankovic. The Russian wound up breaking her Serbian counterpart six times on Day 10 of this two-week event and improved to 7-1 lifetime against the former U.S. Open runner-up Jankovic, who was a Key Biscayne finalist in 2008.
The red-hot career Grand Slam winner Sharapova is now riding an 11-match winning streak without losing a set, which includes a title at Indian Wells two weeks ago.
Sharapova will appear in her 48th career WTA final, but a 29th title will be a tough task as she has lost 10 straight matches against Williams, with her only two wins in 13 meetings coming in 2004.
Williams was in top form against the fourth-seeded Radwanska, winning 26 of the 39 points in a one-sided first set. Radwanska had dropped the first set in her previous two matches, but proved no match against the 15-time Grand Slam champion in falling to 0-5 lifetime against the American.
Williams, the world No. 1 and reigning Wimbledon and U.S. Open queen, is a seven-time Key Biscayne finalist and has won five titles. With Thursday's win, she passed the legendary Steffi Graf for the most wins in Key Biscayne with 60.
She is bidding to become the fourth woman in the Open Era to win the same tournament six times, while Sharapova is trying to become the third player to win at Indian Wells and Miami in the same year
Saturday's winner of this $4.195 million event will collect $724,000.

GREENVILLE, Ill. – After jumping out to early inning leads in both games of Saturday's double-header against Washington U. the Panthers were unable to fend off a pair of late game heroics by the Bears. Greenville dropped the opener 8-7, and followed with a 12-10 defeat in the capper.
Justin Hubbard led Greenville offensively in the opener, hitting 2-for-4 with two RBI.
In game one GC opened with a pair of RBI singles delivered by Kenny Trager and Hubbard that helped the club reach a 3-0 margin after the first inning. Both teams would plateau through three, before the fourth saw both teams add a run to the scoreboard. Greenville starter Cody Hinterscher held the Bears without a hit through the first five innings and helped pace the Panthers to the 5-1 lead.
Washington U. scored twice more in the sixth, with Greenville getting two of the runs back in the bottom half of the inning to take a 7-4 lead into the seventh. GC had the Bears down to their last out in the eighth when a base hit into right field sparked a painful two-out rally. A double to deep left field scored a WashU base runner that had advanced to second on a wild pitch, and the next Bear batter tied the game with a homer to right.
In the ninth, a Washington U. clutch base hit scored a runner from third to provide the Bears with their first lead of the game. Greenville loaded the bases with one out in the eighth and ninth innings, but the WUSTL reliever got the Panthers to ground into an inning-ending double play each time.
On the mound, Greenville's Wes Letiza was dealt the loss, pitching one inning with one earned in relief.
Game two opened with a fury of offensive production from the Panthers. GC totaled five runs on six hits with four different batters delivering an RBI. GC scored twice more in the third and fourth to grab a promising 9-4 lead over WashU.
However WUSTL would find their groove at the plate, tattooing the Greenville bullpen in the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings for eight runs on nine hits to edge past the Panthers in another late inning heartbreaker 12-10.
At the plate Cole Lawson spearheaded the Panther's efforts in the loss with a 3-for-3, three RBI performance.
Greenville's Cody Chain was charged with his first loss of the season, surrendering three earned on five hits in the ninth.
Greenville Baseball falls to 0-4 against Washington University in 2011, while dropping to 2-13 on the season.
The GC club will be back at it on Monday, April 4, as they travel to SLIAC foe Eureka College to take on the Red Devils in an afternoon double-header.

Men, women, and children being sold are displayed on a raised platform.

The traveler was, in fact, the English artist Eyre Crowe who visited Charleston in March 1853. He compares slave auctions in South Carolina and Virginia. In the latter (see image NW0278), the auction is "hidden as much as possible in out-of-the-way places" while in Charleston, it takes place in a central part of the city; a detailed description of the Charleston auction is given (p. 556). A similar description is given in Eyre's account of his visit to the United States in 1852-53, With Thackeray in America? (New York, 1893), pp. 150-152.

2012 Hyundai Accent Values
Select a 2012 Hyundai Accent trim level
Hyundai Resources:
2012 model year changes
The Accent has been completely redesigned for the 2012 model year. A new 1.6L engine has been fitted to all models, which makes 138 horsepower and achieves 40 mpg on the highway. Two body styles are available: a 5-door hatchback and a 4-door sedan. The 3-door hatchback has been discontinued. Both feature all-new styling, with new bodylines, larger headlamps and higher-mounted tail lamps helping to give the car a more upscale look. The car's interior has also been completely redesigned for 2012, with a class-leading 21.2 cubic feet of cargo space in the 5-door model.
Competitive comparison
Fresh styling, efficient new 1.6L engine, excellent "bang for the buck"
Special features for 2012
Hyundai's Accent may be best known as the cheapest car in America, but for 2012, the automaker has decided to step away from that pursuit with its entry-level compact. The Accent offers quite a bit of bang for the buck in a compact car, and its new 1.6L engine is both relatively powerful and very efficient. At right around $13k, the Accent is a great value, with more options than what you'd get on a comparably priced Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris or Mazda2.
The 2012 Hyundai Accent is a subcompact car available in sedan and hatchback trim levels. The Accent is powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque.

Bill Paxon on Principles & Values
Former Republican Representative (NY-27)
Dedicated to building a stronger Republican majority by promoting the fundamental conservative ideals of lower taxes, less government and more personal freedom....
The Republican Leadership Council was formed in 1997 by leading Republicans throughout the country concerned that the Republican Party is being increasingly defined by the actions of an intolerant vocal minority that divides the GOP.
The Republican Party is at a crossroads. We now face a situation similar to that of the Democrats of the 1980`s who were dominated by a vocal minority from the far-left liberal wing of their Party. Our challenge now is to unite all Republicans behind a common agenda that helps us expand our majority.
The RLC believes that we must articulate a vision, and a message, based upon the Reagan legacy of limited government and expanded personal freedom. The GOP must unite around the core Republican principles of less government, lower taxes, substantive education reform, anti-crime initiatives and a strong national defense.
The RLC seeks to promote these core issues that unite Republicans, and as Ronald Reagan successfully accomplished, attract conservative Democrats and Independents to forge a winning electoral coalition in congressional and presidential elections. This is the RLC`s vision for the 21st century.
The Republican Leadership Council is committed to playing a key role in electing common-sense conservatives and promoting the core issues of the Republican Party.
As Republican Members of the House of Representatives and as citizens seeking to join that body, we propose not just to change its policies, but to restore the bounds of trust between the people and their elected representatives. That is why, in this era of official evasion and posturing, we offer instead a detailed agenda for national renewal, a written commitment with no fine print.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Led by Carmelo Anthony, New York is at last on the right kind of streak.
Anthony had 27 points and 11 rebounds to lead the New York Knicks past the Philadelphia 76ers 98-91 on Wednesday night.
The worst team in the Eastern Conference is suddenly on a hot streak. New York snapped its 16-game losing streak Monday with a win against New Orleans and made it two straight with the victory against the lowly Sixers.
The Knicks won consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 30-Nov. 2.
"Guys are still having fun with the game and not letting our record keep us down," Anthony said. "We're still enjoying the game of...

The Lawrence F. Flick Memorial Center is the clinical site for PDPH's Tuberculosis Control Program. The Center is operated in partnership with the American Lung Association and is the only publicly funded TB clinic in Philadelphia.
The Flick Center opened in 1998 to aid Philadelphia's efforts to wipe out tuberculosis. It also serves as a referral center for complicated TB cases from other districts in Pennsylvania. The Flick Center has also been effective in evaluating and treating newly arrived immigrants.
The Flick Center provides Directly Observed Therapy (DOT), medications, and clinical evaluations free of charge.
Patients can come to the Flick Center to take their medications Monday-Friday from 8 am to 12 pm.
Mass transit tokens and snacks are provided for scheduled patients. Arrangements can be made for home DOT on a limited basis.
Clinical sessions with a physician are scheduled Tuesday and Wednesday from 1 pm to 4 pm. Pediatric clinical sessions are scheduled on Thursday from 9 am to 12 pm.
Whether you are a suspected TB patient or are having complications with the medication, the doctor is available for medical evaluations. Other available services include tuberculin testing, sputum induction, HIV screening, and screening for possible side effects from taking TB medications.
Lawrence F. Flick Memorial Center
305 South 13th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107 (map)
Lawrence F. Flick was born on August 10, 1856 in Carrol Township in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Originally interested in law, medicine became his main interest after several illnesses interrupted his work. Dr. Flick entered the Jefferson Medical College and received the gold medal for surgery upon his graduation in 1879. Following graduation, he took his internship at Old Blockley, the Philadelphia General Hospital, then the most prestigious training program available.
After his own bout with consumption (tuberculosis), Dr. Flick adopted the eradication of tuberculosis as his cause. He founded the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society, the first state organization in the nation devoted to wiping out tuberculosis. He championed case registration and education about the contagious nature of the disease. Dr. Flick's belief in the scientific foundation of medicine and his embrace of the results of research led him to found or organize a number of institutions for the care of tuberculosis patients and the study of the disease. These institutions included the Rush Hospital of Consumption and Allied Diseases, the Free Hospital Association for Poor Consumptives, the Henry Phipps Institute for the Study, Prevention and Treatment of Tuberculosis, and the White Haven Sanatorium.
Lawrence F. Flick was a tireless physician who practiced until 1938, the final year of his life. He was a scholar, organizer, author, and historian. The legacy of his crusade to eradicate tuberculosis is the improvement in the care of patients with tuberculosis and the dramatic reduction in cases and deaths due to this disease during the span of his career in Philadelphia.

New environmental laws giving the Environmental Protection Authourity (EPA) more power pass in the NSW State Parliment unopposed in the shadow of the Carbon Tax.
A recent news-article on the ABC's News Website is reporting that that the NSW State Parliament has implemented tougher new environmental protection laws in the wake of the disastrous chemical leak from the Orica Plant near Newcastle this year.
The article states that these laws are designed to "hold industry to account for its environmental performance and improve the community's access to information." These changes are apparently going to put the community back at the centre of the EPA, to quote the aforementioned article it will "put community back at the heart of pollution monitoring and information." (To read the full article click here)
With an environmental audit of NSW set to take place and combined with the Gillard administration passing the Carbon Tax Legislation through the House of Representatives this week; are we seeing a political awakening to the importance of environmental issues in the current political agenda?
Let us know your feelings.

Oregon Medical Pot Dispensaries Bring Questions
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The law allowing medical marijuana dispensaries in Oregon comes with more than a few unanswered questions. Opponents, including Rep. Andy Olson, say the bill, which goes into effect in March, allows growers to set their own prices and will lead to widespread abuse of the medical-marijuana system. Supporters say the market will set the appropriate prices for growers' labor and other costs.

New Car Review Video
2013 GMC Acadia: New Car Review Video
When looking for a new SUV, there are many questions to ask. However, no matter the question you ask about the 2013 GMC Acadia, the answer will always be "yes." Does that new crossover offer distinctive styling, seating for up to eight, a comfortable ride and a high-tech interior? For the 2013 Acadia Denali, yes, yes, yes and yes!
The first thing you'll notice about the Acadia in any trim level is that its bold exterior has been tweaked with a restyled front end, LED running lights and wrap-around rear glass. However, depending on the trim, you might notice extra chrome bits, larger wheels and an optional Dual SkyScape 2-panel power sunroof, as well.
Once inside the 2013 Acadia Denali, you'll be surrounded with luxury appointments, including French-stitch seats and lots of soft-touch materials. Other features of the Denali trim include heated and cooled front seats and a heads-up display that projects your speed and other critical driving information onto the windshield.
All 2013 Acadia trims, which include the Denali and two different SLE and SLT packages, boast great standard features such as Bluetooth connectivity, a backup camera with rear parking sensors and a nice 6-speaker sound system. Also found in all trim levels are various versions of GM's Color Touch infotainment unit. This 6.5-inch screen provides excellent content and feedback for even the most novice drivers.
Under the hood, GMC opted for a power V6 engine instead of a gas-guzzling V8 to keep with the car-like feel. The smooth-running 3.6-liter V6 has 288-horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, and is only available with a perfectly matched 6-speed automatic transmission. The 2013 Acadia is available in either front- or all-wheel drive in every trim level.
Fuel economy is not SUV-like at all when it comes to the front-wheel-drive 2013 Acadia. Around town, you should expect around 17 miles per gallon. On the highway, though, thanks to its 6-speed transmission, the Acadia can maintain around 24 mpg. When equipped with all-wheel drive, you should expect slightly lower numbers for both city and highway.
At a starting price of $34,050 before options for the base SLE, and then tipping the scales at $47,945 for the Acadia Denali with all-wheel drive, there are plenty of vehicles to which you can compare the Acadia, including both the Chevy Traverse and the Buick Enclave, both of which share the same platform as the Acadia. Other American counterparts include the redesigned Dodge Durango (available with a V8 engine), the sleek Ford Flex or even the Mazda CX-9.
The 2013 GMC Acadia may be a bit large for some, but it offers one of the most comfortable, confident driving experiences available. Along with impressive styling, plenty of interior space and a long list of tech features, this vehicle can be both your all-weather, family workhorse and your cool, commuter ride.

Update: And oddly enough the video has be retro-edited to remove the Lumia 920. We're not sure why but you can see the original version here and the edited one below. Thanks, nikhilr51.
The Lumia 920 in yellow has been featured in a Ke$ha music video. The song Die Young shows off the Lumia 920 for a few seconds with a male making use of call functionality, while the artist herself reads an SMS.
Thankfully the Windows Phone is correctly displayed with the keyboard being present with the SMS thread view sporting yellow speech bubbles - though the text is over-sized for viewers to be able to make out what's written.
The Lumia 920 is displayed throughout the video so be sure to survive the entire song, but should you be unable to 1:20 is where you need to skip forward to. Check out the video below:

Pensar visualmente, especialmente, criando diagramas é uma competência valiosa. Vejo isso durante meus cursos e vivência com profissionais das mais variadas indústrias. A boa notícia é que dá para aprender ;)

Description: An exceptional handmade carving set by Thomas Haslinger! Thomas' experience working as a professional chef shines through in this creation. His graceful design is effective and feels great in the hand.
The handles are each formed from fiddleback maple. Pins have been capped with African blackwood for a dramatic finish. Both the long, slender blade, and the tines of the fork were created from BG42 stainless steel. On the carving knife, this results in a long-lasting, keen edge. The fork tines measure 5 1/2 in. in length. The overall length of the fork is 11 1/2 in. Excellent fit and finish throughout. Accompanied by handmade presentation box (also made by Thomas).

When Mark Hudon was 18, he visited Yosemite National Park from his home state of New Hampshire. As a young climber, Hudon's trip out west was something that changed his life, and the granite monolith called El Capitan was the catalyst.
"The first time I saw it, I said to myself, 'No fricking way,'" he said this week while roasting coffee beans at his uptown Hood River business.
It was 1974, and after becoming one of the youngest men to have climbed the 3,300-foot wall, Hudon returned to New Hampshire to finish up his senior year of high school. Fast-forward 36 years to earlier this month, when he reached the top of El Cap once again, this time at 56, as unofficially the oldest man to solo-climb the same towering rock that has remained the gold standard around the world for big wall climbing.
"Climbing El Cap was a really big deal in my life back then," he said. "When I went back home to finish high school, I was pretty much set on moving west. Now, being the oldest to solo it isn't something I really care about. It's more funny to me than anything else."
Most people who visit Yosemite gaze up at the valley's iconic landmarks with not much more than wonder at how people climb the towering walls above; some staying many nights anchored to the rock thousands of feet off the ground.
For Hudon, doing it once or twice was not enough; he's now climbed El Cap 15 times. Interestingly, 13 of those were more than 30 years ago when climbing was a way of life for him.
"I hadn't been up El Cap since 1979 and was really feeling the longing in my heart," he said. "Luckily I still have a good body; I haven't fallen apart over the years. I knew I could do it, so I decided to go for it. I'm the kind of person who, when I do something, I'm pretty rabid about it."
Last fall Hudon and a friend, John Fine, climbed El Cap in a single day, which is a feat in itself. With Hudon leading the entire climb, the two sped up about 30 pitches in under 16 hours to reach the summit.
"It was pretty wild, having done it so long ago; but there I was doing it again, and now trying to do it fast, flashing through all the things I had done in my life since," he said. "I had gotten married, started a business, sworn off climbing, had a child, 30 years of living, and here I was, back again, sweating, plugging in gear, pulling, climbing the same route as I had done a few weeks after meeting the woman I would marry. I don't know, time compressed and elongated, my whole life was right there."
Staying in shape since then, Hudon set his sights on his first solo climb. That's right, his first solo ever, and he was going to do El Cap.
"I had climbed numerous walls but never soloed anything," he said. "The day I left the ground someone asked me what other routes I soloed.
"I said 'none.'
"He said, 'You never soloed anything?'
"I said, 'Yep, nothing ever, not even a single pitch.'
"He said 'And you're going to solo El Cap?'
"'Yup, I'll figure it out,' I replied."
Solo climbing is more complicated and takes more gear than climbing with a partner or a group. Hudon spent 12 days and 11 nights on the climb, lugging about 250 pounds of gear with him as he slowly ascended the wall.
"Usually it took me from about 8:30 in the morning to 6 in the evening to lead, clean and haul two pitches," he said. He basically had to climb everything twice; once to lead climb and anchor into the top of each pitch and a second time after rappelling back down to "clean" his gear from the rock. On top of that he would set up a system to haul all his gear up each pitch.
At the end of each day, Hudon would set up a cliff cabana, which is essentially an open cot that hangs from several straps and a bolt secured into the rocks. There he would rest, have dinner, enjoy the sunset with a beer or two and get a good night's sleep.
Yes, beer. He started the climb hauling 18 microbrews along with him.
"It was just incredibly beautiful and peaceful up there," he said. "I was actually surprised at how relaxing and comfortable it felt. I had my cell phone, an iPod with speakers, good food, good gear and warm clothes. I was totally comfortable."
Watching the sun set and rise over some of the most beautiful country on Earth, suspended thousands of feet up on the side of a cliff, alone, relaxed and confident; with climbing in his blood, Hudon had a flawless backdrop for self-reflection.
"It was weird; 35 years before I had first climbed El Cap," he said. "I was 18 years old and a senior in high school. Climbing had changed my life back then and here I was, 35 years later, living that changed life. I wondered how it could have turned out differently and couldn't think of anything."

UPLAND >> The Bracamonte family does not have the legal authority to remove Diane Stretton's belongings from their home, even if she has been evicted, the family's attorney said.
The live-in nanny who refused to leave the home in which she worked, failed to pick up her belongings by Monday, which was the deadline for the eviction notice.
On Thursday, an eviction notice for Stretton dated July 2 was posted on the Bracamonte family's front door, saying Stretton had three days to remove her belongings from the house.
"In California there is no self-help. The only way to lawfully evict a person is that the sheriff does it," said Marc Cohen, the attorney for the Upland family.
On Tuesday afternoon, Cohen declined to say whether the family had filed a lawsuit or if he had been in recent contact with the former live-in nanny.
Another option is that Stretton can voluntarily remove her items.
"The legal system requires a due process," Cohen said.
A judge has to determine whether Stretton has been given a right to that process, he said. Until then, Cohen said, "she has the right to walk into the home right now."
Proceedings to evict tenant is slower in California than in other states like Nevada or Texas, Cohen said. In those two states a landlord can evict someone in 10 days while in California a case might take a month to get resolved.
The family has not seen Stretton since June 27 and believe she is living out of her car.
Marcella Bracamonte said she and her husband, Ralph, sought out a full-time, live-in nanny on the website Craigslist earlier this year. What they got was 64-year-old Stretton whom the family hired on March 4. Bracamonte said Stretton just stopped working and turned a family home into a hostile place.
The family tried to evict Stretton, who initially refused to leave.
"I have never seen anything like this," said Tracy Cota, who is the local development director for Cultural Care Au Pair, a leading provider of international live-in childcare.
What has happened in the Stretton case highlights the safety aspects and benefits of going through a childcare program as opposed to finding a nanny on Craigslist, she said..
"I think the takeaway here is that there are risks in trying to find a live-in childcare provider on your own," Cota said. "An agency is a third-party resource who can help both parties should there be a situation that does not work."
An au pair is from a foreign country who works for and lives with his/her host family. Meanwhile, most nanny agencies allow families the option of having the person live with them.
Cota, who is based out of Redondo Beach, has worked for Cultural Care Au Pair for seven years. In California, there has been a 16 percent increase in host families using that service from last year.
By using a nanny agency or an au pair, the family is guaranteed the individual is not only interviewed by a third-party, but goes through a background check, she said. Using the au pair service does cost families about $360 a week per family, she added.
A third-party agency is there to serve both the family and the nanny, said Cota, adding she has not had any personal issues using the agency for her two children.
If there is an issue, there is a local childcare consultant who works with the family if they feel they need a mediator to step in and help. If the issue can't be resolved, the family can decide to go with a different au pair or leave the program altogether.
"Whether you are working with an au pair agency or nanny agency there are processes in place to help navigate challenges before they escalate," Cota said.

Mary Ryniewicz and Seth Kantor were co-head coaches for the slugs from 1989 to 1996.
Their teams earned national rankings from 1993 through 1996 with one appearance at the
Kalamazoo Nationals in 1994. Mary and Seth were responsible for bringing the UCSC club team
to a NCAA Division lll team in their first year as coaches.
Both coaches have extensive competitive experience. They have both competed in USTA
tournaments sectionally and nationally. They each played for Cabrillo Junior College in Aptos,

Christian evangelists can be forgiven for feeling under siege these days. Amid charges of runaway personal spending, Richard Roberts resigned as president of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, and six tax-exempt ministries were recently asked by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) to make detailed financial disclosures. Here are some other revelations:
1. Zion, a city north of Chicago founded by Scottish evangelist John Alexander Dowie in 1902, at various times banned circuses, theaters, alcohol, gambling, tobacco, pork, politicians, doctors, drugstores, jazz, oysters, chop suey, tan-colored shoes, flirting, dancing, swearing, spitting and whistling on Sunday.
2. British preacher Gipsy Smith's visit to Chicago in 1909 was a textbook example of the danger of spotlighting sin. Smith invaded Chicago's vortex of vice, the Levee District on the Near South Side, to conduct a prayer rally. The event attracted thousands of the pious and the curious, and many of the latter stayed around after prayers to conduct their own fact-finding tours.
3. Billy Sunday was a ballplayer for the Chicago White Stockings who became a well-known preacher. One of his most famous sermons was called "Get on the Water Wagon." A water wagon was a vehicle used to dampen dirt roads to keep the dust down. When a person gave up alcohol, it was said that he had gotten "on the water wagon" -- a slang term that was later shortened to "on the wagon."
4. When Prohibition ended in 1933, Rev. Billy Graham's father bought a case of beer and forced the teenage Billy and his sister Catherine to drink bottle after bottle until they threw up, as a lesson on the evils of drink.
5. One preacher targeted by Grassley is Georgia's Rev. Creflo Dollar, whose ownership of a Rolls-Royce harks back to the quintessential "prosperity preacher" of the '70s, Frederick Eikerenkoetter, better-known as Rev. Ike. The now-retired Ike owned a fleet of mink-appointed Rolls-Royces and said,"The best thing you can do for the poor is not to be one of them."
6. Missouri evangelist Joyce Meyer's early life story is excruciating. Sexually molested by her father, she married a ne'erdo-well. ("One night I caught him trying to get my wedding ring off me in the middle of the night.") She divorced, remarried and became an evangelist, sometimes sleeping in her car because she had no money for hotels. Eventually, she wrote 70 books and became such a financial success that Grassley is now asking her about reports that her ministry paid $23,000 for a marble-topped commode.
7. Meyer gets a grade of C and Dollar gets an F in MinistryWatch.com's ratings of "transparency" -- the ministries' disclosure of finances and other information. The watchdog Web site also issues "donor alerts" about preachers it deems especially suspicious, such as faith healer Benny Hinn. In addition, MinistryWatch.com highlights 30 "Shining Light Ministries" as worthy stewards of their followers' donations.
8. Oral Roberts' most famous fundraising effort came in 1987, when he said God would "take me home" if he didn't raise $8 million for medical scholarships. Less well-known was another life-threatening experience he revealed the same year. Roberts said Satan had entered his bedroom and tried to strangle him, only to be chased away by Roberts' wife, Evelyn.
9. Tammy Faye Messner (formerly Bakker), the televangelist who died in July, had eye liner, lip liner and eyebrows tattooed onto her face."This way, when you wake up you don't feel faceless," she said. "You can wake up and already have a face."
10. GodTube, an alternative to YouTube, officially debuted on the Internet in August. While YouTube's slogan is "Broadcast Yourself," GodTube's is "Broadcast Him." Among the videos: a parody of Sir Mixa-Lot's "Baby Got Back" called "Baby Got Book."
Billy Sunday is featured in a new book co-authored by Jacob, "Chicago Under Glass: Early Photographs From the Chicago Daily News."

Need a sweeping education on portraiture in short-order? We suggest you visit the Leila Heller Gallery on 57 Street in Manhattan, where 16,000 square feet of space is devoted to portraits in an exhibition titled, "Look At Me." (The exhibition will run until August 29 on 57 Street; Heller's Chelsea gallery will show similarly themed works until August 14.)
Here, over six floors, everything from late 19 century works by Mary Cassatt, Édouard Manet and Henri Matisse are hung opposite Andy Warhol's blue-and-black pixelated Jackie and Keith Haring's amusing open-mouthed characters in Meatloaf Drawing Meals on Wheels. Even further out in the ether of the modern art world was Bill Viola's chilling video Acceptance,in which water cascades over a naked women's anguished body. Though this particular piece might not excite you, the sheer scope and mediums of the 230-odd display will stimulate your imagination, and perhaps make you wonder how you would like yourself or your own family captured in a portrait. Below, a few of our favorites.
The Krakoffs, 2006. By Eric Fischl
Eric Fischl is a well-established American portrait artist who has painted a colorful cast of cosmopolitan socialites, including author Joan Didion and artist Chuck Close, along with married musical duo Edie Brickell and Paul Simon. He's particularly known for brightly colored canvasses of half-naked men and women cavorting in the water and on the beach. Raised in Long Island, his paintings often have the bright light and colors of Arizona, where he was educated. Shown to the left is The Krakoffs, a more sober work painted just eight years ago of the husband and wife Reed and Delphine Krakoff.
Reed, a former creative director at the Coach leather-goods company, is pictured standing with furrowed brow above his wife, who is comfortably seated below his squinting glare. Reed's tense face is blotchy, smeared with cramped, rough strokes, as he shrugs on his coat and rushes off somewhere. Delphine's rather masculine features are, in contrast, smooth and serene, painted with even lines, eyes staring directly forward. Reed's outstretched arm and the black of his jacket seems to melt into his wife's top, a oneness at odds with their clashing expressions.
Untitled, 1990. By John Currin
Artist John Currin is best known for his paintings of voluptuous and slightly cartoon-ish women and nudes. Rendered with great artistry, evoking images and techniques of the Renaissance artists and Old Masters, Currin's works are nonetheless often bursting with shocking, pornographic images. His work is so effective, precisely because the edgy and naked women engaged in sexual acts are imbued with a soft reverence for Old Master techniques, best seen in the complex layering of colors that create his fleshy, pastel-colored hues.
Long before establishing himself as a mid-'90s provocateur, however, Currin depicted youthful women, unassumingly and sweetly posing for their annual yearbook photo. As pictured to the left in this untitled work, a young blonde with pale white skin seems to glow, her shoulders drooping and at ease. Our eyes are drawn to the center of her face, by blood red yet somehow demure lips, and a charmingly crinkled nose. A statement of innocence that seems both sad and hopeful.
Sandra-She's A Beauty, 2012. By Mickalene Thomas
Mickalene Thomas was born in Camden, New Jersey, in 1971, and her work has a distinctly urban '70s feel, with wood-paneling frequently in the background, bright-colored plaids and flower-patterned furniture. Her female subjects frequently wear large hooped earrings and sport puffy Afros. Her similarly themed installation Art Bar at Art Basel last year was well received by critics.
Thomas works in many mediums but she is best known for her rhinestone and acrylic pieces on wood. Her photograph Sandra-She's A Beauty at the Leila Heller Gallery, seen to the left, was particularly grabbing in a room full of strong work. Intensely patterned pillows of scrolling flowers and zebra-prints surround Thomas' mother and frequent muse. Her subject could easily be lost in the kaleidoscope of color, and yet Thomas – influenced by the Hudson River School -- captures her mother's stately poise. We are pulled to her subject's at-ease demeanor, the depth hidden in her eyes, the pursed and bemused red lips. Stand back from this large work and you are struck powerfully by the bold black, the red, the sheer force of character.

Missoula School District One Informs Parents About Bear Sighting [AUDIO]
A school parent in the South Hills neighborhood notified school officials that they had spotted a bear on Monday, October 7, so the district sent out a message to parents about the sighting.
Hatton Littman, Director of Technology and Communications for Missoula School District One said bear sightings at this time of years are common.
"It's important to know that this time of year all around Montana, we've got wildlife interacting with people around their homes and around their school buildings," Littman said. "We received a phone call this morning from one of our parents who saw a bear rummaging through some garbage on Monday afternoon, and the parent wanted the school to know there was a bear near a school in the South Hills area."
Littman said parents need to realize that this is the time of year when wildlife is preparing for winter, and many animals may come closer to local homes than usual.
"We want to make sure that we're reminding parents that at this time of year there's always going to be wildlife moving around," Littman said. "We gave our school parents a link to an informative website from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks that tracks bear and other wildlife information, so that parents can feel like they're in the know about what's going on in their area."

Friday, 18 May 2012 06:51 AM
Isolated and heavily guarded, the mountaintop retreat is known simply as Camp David, but its wooded grounds have been a place of triumph and failure, refuge and relief.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill huddled there with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1943 to pore over plans for the invasion of Normandy.
The peace treaty between Egypt and Israel was forged at Camp David under the guidance of President Jimmy Carter. And it was there, too, that President Bill Clinton unsuccessfully tried to broker a deal between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat.
President Barack Obama, an infrequent visitor, is putting the presidential hideaway on full display for this weekend's summit of the Group of Eight industrial nations, the largest gathering of foreign leaders ever to assemble there. Arriving Friday, the leaders will stroll the camp's leafy paths and bed down in the 11 residential cabins. Four African leaders will join them for lunch Saturday.
More than 50 heads of state have visited Camp David over the past seven decades. But this weekend's G-8 meeting represents the first time more than two foreign leaders have gathered there.
About 1,800 feet above sea level, the camp occupies at least 125 acres, is protected by Marines and though nestled in the Catoctin Mountains, it is incongruously part of the Navy's budget. A short drive from the town of Thurmont in northern Maryland, the compound is not marked by road signs and is ringed by imposing security fences. Within its confines, presidents and their guests can enjoy an abbreviated game of golf, play tennis, bowl, swim in the heated pool, even shoot skeet.
In choosing Camp David for the G-8 talks, Obama made an explicit decision to separate those economic discussions from the NATO summit that will immediately follow in Chicago, offering two distinct venues for each gathering — one tranquil and remote and the other boisterous and highly public.
"Chicago ... is already going crazy," said Matthew Goodman, a former Obama White House national security council aide responsible for international economic summits. "He could see that it wasn't going to be a place to facilitate a really quiet, sort of intimate conversation."
Each of the leaders will have his or her own cabin, though the allocation is classified. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon said the rustic environment will make it easier for leaders to huddle with each other privately on the sidelines. The leader meetings will take place in the dining room of the main cabin, Laurel Lodge.
Camp David offers other benefits as well. Participants there won't be exposed to demonstrations from the Occupy Wall Street movement or from anti-globalization activists. Moreover, had both summits been held in Chicago as originally planned, Russian President Vladimir Putin would have had to have made an awkward exit after the G-8 while other leaders turned to NATO. In the end, Putin chose not to come, a move widely seen as a snub of Obama. Putin sent Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instead.
About 70 miles from the White House, Camp David has been a weekend refuge for presidents since 1942, when FDR decided he needed to stay close to the capital during wartime while still escaping Washington's oppressive summer heat. Roosevelt named it "Shangri-la," the fictional valley in James Hilton's 1933 novel "Lost Horizon."
President Dwight Eisenhower renamed the retreat after his grandson David, though it retains its official prosaic name: Naval Support Facility Thurmont.
Over the years, presidents have had different attachments to the camp.
President Harry Truman seldom went there. But Eisenhower was a frequent visitor. An avid golfer, he had a putting green installed with tees at four distances and locations, thus essentially creating a compact four-hole golf course. Eisenhower hosted Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1959.
Though presidents Kennedy and Johnson didn't use Camp David much, Kennedy found it a useful place to consult with Eisenhower in the aftermath of the aborted Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba and Johnson found it a useful place to meet with advisers over the direction of the Vietnam War.
It was President Richard Nixon's favorite sanctuary when he was in Washington, retreating there to meet with foreign leaders or escape the pressures of Watergate. President Ronald Reagan was a frequent visitor. In 1992, President George H.W. Bush's daughter, Dorothy "Doro," got married at Camp David, the first wedding performed there. His son, President George W. Bush, was a camp regular, logging hundreds of days there during his two terms.
Not all have found the retreat to their liking. Margaret Truman found the place claustrophobic and gloomy, according to Dale Nelson's book "The President Is at Camp David." During the Israel-Egypt talks that Carter led, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin reflected on the tight security and likened the camp to a "concentration camp deluxe," and Nelson writes that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat would later confess to feeling like he was "under house detention."
Obama visited Camp David 11 times in 2009 but has cut back his trips since. Friday's visit will mark his 23rd visit to the camp and his first as host to foreign leaders. By this time in his presidency, George W. Bush had made 81 visits to Camp David for all or part of 256 days and had entertained 10 leaders there, according to records kept by CBS News' Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential travel.
The weekend meeting will mark Obama's first stay at the camp this year.

Atletico to consider future Falcao sale
Atletico Madrid will not sell with Radamel Falcao in January, but have hinted they could be persuaded to cash-in on the striker next summer.
The Colombia international is among the most sought-after talents in European football, with a prolific strike rate drawing attention from the continent's top clubs.
Chelsea and Manchester City are believed to be heading the queue for his signature, with the Premier League pair blessed with the financial backing required to put a deal in place.
Atletico would be reluctant sellers, but appreciate that offloading their prized asset to anyone willing to match his €60million (£48.3m) buy-out clause would help to ease the financial strain on the club.
"€60 million for Falcao would solve all the economic problems at Atletico," general manager Gil Marin told COPE Radio.
"I can say for sure, though, that he will stay with us until the end of the season. Not only will he stay, but so will all the players that the coach wants to stay.
"We will fight to perform a miracle which is what we are doing with what we have available.
"In Europe there are 50 clubs with more income than we have. If we were to sell Falcao for €60 million then that would cover our debts."
Real Madrid are also said to be keen on raiding their cross-city neighbours for Falcao's services, but Marin doubts such a switch would be made.
"If Atletico do not qualify for the Champions League or cannot afford to meet his wage demands then I do not think that Real Madrid could afford him either," he continued.
"We have to do impossible things and take risks so that the fans can have the team that they want. It is difficult to maintain."

Volume 19 Issue 5 | June 16 - 22, 2006
Pianist-conductor-teacher-impresariat Mimi Stern-Wolfe
Mimi Stern-Wolfe, unsung musical heroine
By Michael Clive
Few cultural clichés are more durable or romantic than the musician making sacrifices for art. The movies show him shivering in a Parisian garret with soot-rimmed skylights. But in real life, the setting is a cramped two-bedroom on the Lower East Side stacked with cartons of files, recordings and annotated scores. And the musician is a woman pianist-conductor-teacher-impresariat Mimi Stern-Wolfe who has been making beautiful music happen Downtown for more than 30 years.
Music & Satire: Notes from the Underground is a timely example of her work. This latest concert from Stern-Wolfes Downtown Music Productions comes to St. Marks in the Bowery this Sunday, June 18, with fascinating musical rarities including Music for a Farce by Paul Bowles and a piano film score by Erik Satie. As usual, Stern-Wolfe programmed, did the publicity, and will take the piano parts. Its tempting to call her tireless, but shes tired; she just doesnt let it stop her. Through good years and bad, she keeps going despite the low pay and lack of recognition. Only the music is rich. Its a hell of a way to live, she says. I wouldnt recommend it to anybody.
If Stern-Wolfe is so good, why isnt she famous? One reason is loyalty to the Downtown community. Its almost a silly little revenge thing, she says. I didnt want to go to the Upper West Side every time I went to a concert, so I made a vow to bring the music down here. If Id lived Uptown, life wouldve been very different. Perhaps Id have a job with City Opera. Something like that.
Instead, her life has been filled with what she ruefully calls 26-hour workdays as she seeks the gigs and grants for Downtown Music Productions. In some years Ive had a part-time development director, or even a full-timer and a little staff to share the load, always working out of this apartment. Right now, its just me. Look around, she says with the seasoned conductors inclusive yet pointed gesture that indicates tutti everything. What you see is proposals, files, all the things the nonprofit world is full of with people like me looking for money constantly. Its what I call finagling and hustling. Its what kept us going all these years. Ive got boxes of music, but not furniture.
A graduate of the old High School of Music and Art, Stern-Wolfe went to Queens College, where New Yorkers with less than Ivy-League budgets could find top-flight academics. The music department remains one of the schools special strengths, and Stern-Wolfe became the college orchestras solo pianist. Later on she took the conservatory route, completing a masters in classical studies at the hallowed New England Conservatory of Music. But not before a musical pilgrimage to Paris for instruction with the 20th centurys most celebrated pedagogue of piano, theory, analysis and composition, Nadia Boulanger.
The list of Americans who apprenticed themselves to the sisters Boulanger in their famously rigorous two-woman atelier includes the most famous American composers of their day. Copland, Bernstein, Thomson and Gershwin all had fabled associations with Nadia, who despite her benevolently tyrannical belief in a right way of hearing and playing music nurtured the uniquely individual voice within each student. Whether or not Boulanger strengthened her students commitment to community music and social causes, Stern-Wolfe was early in adopting 1960s-style progressivism. And she hasnt wavered since.
When I came back from Paris in 1963, she ways, I already knew I wanted to bring classical music to community audiences. I just wasnt sure how. But I felt it was a way to give back. That was more important to me than the idea of playing at Lincoln Center, where you have to be 20 years old and win a contest to get a foothold.
In the competitive, ego-driven world of classical music stardom, this kind of attitude is eccentric or downright subversive, but it has informed Stern-Wolfes entire career in teaching and production, which ranges from childrens music to very sophisticated adult fare. Teaching childrens opera over on Third Street, that was wonderful. We took the music and staging into public schools. Thats how I developed the Childrens Downtown Musical Theatre. That was back in 1977. In 1979, her Downtown Chamber and Opera Productions became Downtown Music Productions as we know it today.
Over the years, Stern-Wolfes productions have hewed to compelling social themes: annual AIDS concerts, War and Pieces on the consequences of war, Musecology on environmental issues, Holocaust remembrances. In the hands of a lesser programmer or musical director, the resulting concerts could smack of musical tourism or dilettantism. But these kinds of themes have always been among composers highest concerns, and under Stern-Wolfes musical direction the concerts are beautifully anthologized and played across a wide range of styles.
Indeed, it was this consistently high quality of execution that first alerted me to one of Stern-Wolfes strangest eccentricities the apparent lack of a performers ego. From what Ive heard so far, I told her, theres nothing you cant play. Anyone else might have justifiably gloated a bit or mentioned other critical accolades. And shes got them to mention. Instead, she shrugged. Im a classically trained pianist, she said. With that kind of education, you should be able to play anything. If youre any good.
East Village residents in fact, all of lower Manhattan should be gratified that Stern-Wolfe is very good indeed.
Music & Satire: Notes from the Underground is at St. Marks in the Bowery, Tenth Street at Second Avenue, this Sunday, June 18th at 3 pm. A contribution of $10 to $15 is suggested. For further information, contact downtownmusicproductions.org or 212-477-1594.

A's hope to break the brooms out on struggling Angels
The Oakland Athletics haven't swept the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in a three-game series in nine years. They'll try to do that and secure their best start in 21 years on Thursday when the American League West foes close out a set at Angel Stadium.
Oakland continued to roll on Wednesday, as Brandon Moss homered and went 3- for-4 with five RBI to lead the Athletics to an 11-5 rout. Seth Smith added three hits, including a pair of doubles, and two RBI and John Jaso had two hits, one RBI and two runs scored for the A's, who have won seven straight.
"Obviously, I've hit some balls well," said Moss. "But no matter what it might look like, I've just had some hits that have found holes and broken bats and roll-overs that have gone through. Sometimes baseball's like that."
Tommy Milone (2-0) allowed four runs on seven hits while fanning five over five full frames to earn the win.
With another win on Thursday the A's would be 6-0 on the road for the first time since 1990 and it would also mark their best 10-game overall start since beginning 8-2 back in 1992.
Albert Pujols had four hits in the loss while Josh Hamilton, Mark Trumbo and Hank Conger added an RBI apiece for the Angels, who have dropped three straight and own the AL's worst record at 2-6.
Joe Blanton (0-2) was tagged for six runs on 10 hits over five-plus innings to absorb the loss.
"There were a couple of situations where I tried to put guys away," Blanton said. "I mean, I generally don't try to strike guys out. I try to make the defense work for me."
Getting the call for Oakland on Thursday will be righty A.J. Griffin, who was impressive in beating Seattle his first time out. Griffin held the Mariners to two runs and seven hits in that one.
Griffin, who was 71- in 15 starts last season as a rookie, beat the Angels the only other time he faced them, tossing eight scoreless innings against them.
The Angels, meanwhile, will counter with lefty Jason Vargas, who pitched well enough to win in his debut with the team. Vargas did not get a decision against the Texas Rangers on Friday, but gave up just a run and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings of his team's 3-2 loss.
Vargas is 5-5 lifetime against the A's with a 3.13 ERA in 15 starts.
The Angels were 9-10 against Oakland a season ago and lost seven of the 10 matchups at home.
