Union firefighters and Fire District 28 management have been accusing Citizens for Smart Taxes of lying to the public about district mismanagement. Citizens information is backed up with documents from the fire department, city of Enumclaw, Washington State Auditor's Office, The Seattle Times and Enumclaw Patch.
Fire District 28 has been spending thousands of taxpayers' dollars on two-page ads. Much of the content is self-promotion. From a taxpayer's point of view, should a government agency use taxpayer money to tell you how wonderful they are and brag about all the charity stuff they did? Is this charity or self-promotion with an end game?
The chief stated in his letter, the commissioners are "volunteer elected officials" and "receive a very small stipend for attending meetings." Fire commissioners receive $114 per meeting. Most commissioner meetings last under 30 minutes. Minutes times are found on the fire district website.
Is $114 for a 10-minute meeting "very small"?
From 2010 to 2012 the fire chief received $49,000 in raises bringing his total compensation to $189,000 per year. Source: Fire District 28 office.
Fire District 28 spent $309,794 on a mobile home. Five real estate agents stated that $85,000 paid for the mobile home was many times what they sell for. It was sold to the district by commissioner Dave Hannity. Source: Enumclaw Patch, The Seattle Times' front page Sunday edition, Oct. 28, 2012, and Washington State Auditor's Office. Then there's the half a million dollars paid for property to build an new station with too many problems to list here.
There is much more to this story than a simple letter can address.
Ask yourself: Are politicians and government agencies in America out of control? King County Fire District 28 doesn't understand that us citizens working for private companies are struggling with less pay (or no pay) and don't want another tax raise again. Private citizens and the companies they work for are the source of almost 100 percent of all government revenue.
Oct. 16, 2013, Courier-Herald you'll find the Fire Department's ad to convince voters for raising their taxes. Add wages and overtime and personnel benefits numbers, $2,671,761. Confirmed by the Fire Department, there are 19 employees. Do the math. Average total compensation per fire district employee is $140,617.11.
And now they want more money. Really?

HIGH Performance, LOW Toxin: Makeup
I'm an undercover tomboy. My best friend would actually beg to differ on the "undercover" part. Or she'd take credit where credit is due and realize she caused the conversion back in our 20s. So, now that you have the background, hopefully it is less annoying to read these words: I love doing my makeup. (said no tomboy EVER, and yet here I am!)
Here's why: my face feels so good with my makeup on. It is also sun-protected and reaping benefits of products made with essential oils and other goodies like jojoba oil and vitamin E. Trust me, this was not always the case. Doing my makeup felt like a chore and I could feel it on my skin…all day long. Sorry Bare Minerals, you were a major culprit in my weighted-face feeling and breakouts. Inspired by my aesthetician, who has a super high bar for all things natural & high performing, I decided to revamp my makeup drawer one product at a time (it is expensive to shift makeup!!). After much investigation and trial (and error) the winners are…
Julie Hewett and BeautyCounter! Here is what these brands have in common: they are high performing products that are made mindfully and without toxins. Let's face it, I love to wander aimlessly through Whole Foods, but there's nothing sexy about getting your makeup from the natural grocery store. I would be all about it if I'd had luck with the products! But I find them to be low toxin products that are also low- to moderate-performers. Meh. No thanks. Julie Hewett is a makeup artist first known for her work on the movie Pearl Harbor (she has the classic Hollywood lip on lock!). Obviously her makeup has to perform, but mineral makeup that you can actually smell (a hint) of the cedarwood essential oil and every lipstick formulated with organic camellia oil gives this brand a 'beyond expectation' mark. BeautyCounter makes it so easy to know exactly what you are getting in every product with their ingredient list highlighted right below the instructions on their website. Not a chemist in your other life? Their line is frequently listed as "Top Scoring Products" on EWG's Skin Deep database. (I'll hit you with more info on this amazing tool in the skin care edition post!)
So here is my honest opinion: you can't really go wrong between these two brands. I have my favorite products between the two, which I'll share here.
I live in California so I'll sneak in a tip from my upcoming skincare post: after cleansing & toning I start my makeup party with a face sunblock (ain't nobody trying to look older faster!). Then comes my absolute favorite products from each line:
Tint Skin Hydrating Foundation from BeautyCounter (I use Sand). I put it on like a face lotion. Next comes Julie Hewett's Ora Mineral Foundation (my color is 1.5). Here are my favorite brushes to use: one for all over & one to use the powder as a concealer. Julie Hewett's foundation has high grade zinc oxide that doubles up my SPF layer…all while keeping things very light-feeling on my face. What I love about both of these products is that they are light-weight secret weapons that pack a major punch.
Ok, here is where you can't go wrong: bronzers & blushes. I happen to use Julie Hewett for both but have gotten my paws on the BeautyCounter counterparts and they are fantastic: Julie Hewett Ora Aphrodite Bronzer and Bud of Rose blush and BeautyCounter Color Contour Matte Bronzer & Color Sweep Blush Duo.
We never get paid for our opinions at M+M but we love to pass on a good deal: use promo code BOGO50 for 50% off Bud of Rose blush when you buy an Ora Aphrodite bronzer! Also get signed up with Julie Hewett announcements to find out when they bring back their Breathless palette (one of my best purchases of all): 4 blushes & 16 eyeshadows! BeautyCounter also has seasonal palettes, just not as many shadows & blushes in theirs. So that takes us to…
Julie Hewett's shadows really don't "move" on your face. We all know that icky eyelid crease that forms with many shadows…not hers. I haven't
worn BeautyCounter's enough to testify, but I love that they come as Color Shade Eye Duo (two for one, eh!). I have an eyeliner of each: Color Outline Eye Pencil in Violet (subtle but fun!) and Julie's Smudge Brown Eye Pencil. Both great, both do what you want: line without running. But here is what neither have to offer: mascara (technically BeautyCounter does but I am NOT a fan at all). The best performer (and I've tried a number of colors): 100% Pure Natural Mascara. I love their fruit pigmented lengthening formulation in Blackberry (again subtle but fun with green eyes).
Oh ladies, here is where we have fun! Both brands are very different but both have great options for the all natural look or high drama mama. I have so many favorites (and I used to NEVER wear anything on my lips!). For BeautyCounter, it's all about their Lip Sheers for me. Twig is an Allure award winner & is pretty much the perfect summertime sheen. I use Petal as my daily lip during fall-winter-spring, and those of you who can rock a good red will love Scarlet.
Julie Hewett is really known for her lips. And, woman to woman I have to tell you, you just need to have a tube of JH lipstick. I can't do red (she has the most amazing array of reds!) but my wow-factor favorite is her Scarlett, a bold fuschia. I'm also the owner of Jacqueline, both Camellia balm sticks (Ruby and nude), and Posie Cheekie (for lips & cheeks). I happen to know two other M+M contributors who owe it to all of us to find their favorite Julie Hewett red (Jenelle, Emily…make it happen).
It turns out it's pretty fun to be a girl and a tomboy – and there is a place for both! There is also a place for both mom & woman…and if you are wondering what to ask for this Mother's Day – maybe ask your loves to treat you to something new! And then tell me all about it!

Zebrafish aren't picky when it comes to making friends. A new study reveals that the 3-centimeter-long swimmers—the "lab rats" of aquatic science—will hang around a robotic fish, even a crudely designed one.
The robot has features previously shown to attract both male and female zebrafish: the plump round shape of an egg-laden female zebrafish, bright blue stripes in the pattern sported by the species, and a flexible tail that can be moved back and forth. Even though the makeshift model is a whopping five times the size of an adult zebrafish (several shown in background at right), both single zebrafish and groups preferred mingling with the robot to spending time elsewhere in the tank, the researchers report online today in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics.
In the dark, however, the zebrafish avoided the robot—a sign, the researchers say, that the fish don't like the noise it makes, but that they're willing to ignore this when they can see the robot's visual cues. The team is now studying how zebrafish and other species respond to free-swimming robots in tanks that include fish of several species, which represents a more realistic environment, and future tests will include vegetation and other hiding spots.
Besides helping study fish behavior in the lab, the researchers contend that such robots may offer a way to protect endangered species by luring them away from hazards or by repelling their predators.

Using RIGblaster with Ham Radio Deluxe
Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) is a free, sophisticated package of software tools for Amateur radio operators, including software packages for radio control, contact logging, mapping and assorted digital operating modes such as PSK. A common issue with RIGblaster customers is attempting to use HRD at same time as Digital Master 780 (DM780).
Most RIGblaster models use COM port flow control pins (DTR and/or RTS) to control the PTT of your radio, to put the radio in TX or RX mode. Some RIGblasters (especially those with Microphone ports) use this RTS signal to control which audio signal gets routed to the radio, either the PC or the Microphone.
Some RIGblasters also contain a radio control port (often labeled CAT) which is connected to the PC via a COM port. A common pitfal among RIGblaster users with HRD is when they attempt to use HRD's radio control software and digital mode software at the same time, and both portions of the software both attempt to use the same COM port. Microsoft Windows will normally not allow a COM port to be opened more than once.
Another pitfall is that older HRD software will use CAT/CI-V commands to put the radio into transmit mode and not the RTS pin. If a CAT/CI-V command is used to put radio into transmit mode, and not the RTS pin, that means the audio from the PC is not being routed to the radio. Most RIGblasters have an LED that is lit while the RTS pin is active, giving you an indication that the audio is routed from the PC to the Radio. If you put the radio into transmit mode but this LED does not light, that means HRD is configured incorrectly and is using CAT/CI-V commands instead of RTS pin.
HRD has a solution that allows it's component software to share a COM port; this is accomplished by having HRD starting a TCP/IP server socket and having the secondary applications (such as DM780) connect to this TCP/IP socket. This aritcle explains how to configure HRD and DM780 to use this TCP/IP socket, and to use RTS pin for PTT control.
For most RIGblasters, select RTS pin for TX. Most RIGblasters are configured for RTS pin, some RIGblasters models allow this pin to be configurable. Refer to your RIGblaster manual to verify which pin to use for PTT.
Also, make sure the 'Always use RTS instead of sending CAT commands' is checked. This will make sure that the audio relay routes the PC audio to the radio when HRD/DM780 tries to transmit.
You should then verify that HRD can put the radio into transmit mode by pressing the 'TX' button in HRD. If your RIGblaster has an LED labeled 'PTT', 'Digital' or 'Transmit', make sure it is lit while HRD has put the radio into TX mode.

Home Cinema
Increasing the quality of life through room acoustics
Growing demands and ever more complex projects in todays age of multi-media require individual solutions. To enjoy cinema without making any compromises one needs, apart from the required visuals, to consider the acoustic parameters of the room as well as multi-media technology standards.
For us a complete concept supplier that means that we need to discuss the knowledge we have gained in this sector with the architect and the owner so that the technical requirements of the individual vision of the customer can be optimally integrated into the whole project. We work out individual solutions for each project and complete them in our own workshops. In this way we are able to fulfil all wishes right down to the last little detail.
The skilful combination of plate absorbers with low-frequency effective Helmholtz resonators, as well as medium- and high-frequency porous surfaces can lead to a unique listening experience for the user, regardless of the electronics used. An acoustically optimal acoustic space allows high-value electronics to meet their peak performance, as no corrections need be made for playback.


text: This is probably the first time I will ever go seeking for a FxM plot. I can play either Natasha or Clint, I honestly don't care I love them both very very much. I would like to do a plot based off of this fricken amazing fan made trailer for a Black Widow Movie: essentially it is the story behind Clint being sent to kill Natasha but him making a different call and there being dire consequences for both of them because of it. I ask that you can write atleast one decent paragraph, will warn me if you intend on going missing for more than a week, and don't write like you are five years old. I personally can write 1 to 6+ paragraphs, I post either once a day or once a week, and my grammar isn't awful but it isn't perfect either.

7 FIs, fintech providers recognized as Best in Bank Customer Experience for 2017
Networld Media Group
Networld Media Group, publisher of ATM Marketplace and Mobile Payments Today, handed out seven awards Tuesday night in Chicago during a gala banquet sponsored by Cineplex Digital Media.
The awards ceremony was held in conjunction with the Bank Customer Experience Summit at the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile. The Best in Bank Customer Experience Awards honor innovative, consumer-focused financial institutions and fintech providers whose branches and technologies heighten the customer or member experience.
Award winners for 2017 included:
- Bank of America, Best Branch Experience (large bank)
Judges commented that "Bank of America does a really nice job of integrating the human touch with advanced technology. The best big-bank experience I've seen," and "Quite innovative. A good example of an omnichannel banking experience."
- First Financial Northwest Bank, Best Branch Experience (small/medium bank)
One judge said, "This branch projects warmth and a welcoming, community orientation. It features a pleasant open layout, with well-defined spaces, thoughtfully integrated technology balanced with human interaction." Another commented, "Tech bars and a virtual brochure add a futuristic touch to the bank branch."
- Millennium BCP, Best Branch Experience (international bank)
"Nice modern feel without becoming too cold," one judge observed. Another said, "Concentration on tech, open space, etc. seems to make a bank branch visit person personable."
- NCR, Best ATM/Self-service Experience
One judge said, "The combination of interoperability with smartphones and offering video capabilities offer a great customer experience for banking customers."
- HDFC Bank, Best Mobile Experience (bank)
Judges commented that "Usability being a key component of any app, it seems that HDFC Bank has found the right mix to lure customers into mobile banking and keep them happy," and "With an ability to understand customers' needs, and tailor and serve up appropriate content, users will undoubtedly welcome the user experience and want to explore the app's features."
- FSS Aadhaar Pay, Best Mobile Experience (international fintech)
One judge said, "Aadhaar Pay is allowing India to leapfrog the older, long-established and less merchant- and consumer-friendly technologies that drive payments in developed markets. And it is doing so in a manner that is simple to implement and use, universally available and relatively inexpensive."
- StrategyCorps BaZing, Best Mobile Experience (US fintech)
"An interesting proposition to add value and relevance to banks' mobile offerings. The app looks to be well thought out, useful and user-friendly," one judge observed. Another said, "A good way for banks to help differentiate themselves from others. Speaks to the ability to help customers with money-saving offers by going to them with alerts as well as giving customers the ability to find deals on their own."
Judges for the awards included the editors of ATM Marketplace and Mobile Payments Today, as well as a respected industry analyst:
- Suzanne Cluckey, ATM Marketplace
- Will Hernandez, Mobile Payments Today
- Ed O'Brien, ath Power Consulting

Troubleshooting a USB Flash Drive
So, your flash drive isn't working. Just yesterday you used it to transfer those lovely photos of you and your friends to another flash drive, yet today when you plugged it in either the icon didn't come up or the files just won't transfer. Disappointed, you turn to the Internet, and thankfully BrightHub is here to cover your bases when it comes to troubleshooting.
- slide 2 of 6
1) Make Sure It's the Flash Drive Not the Computer
Most people have multiple computers or access to multiple computers in their house or close by, so the first thing you'll want to do with your flash drive is take it to another computer and try it there. After plugging it in, take note of a few things:
- Does the computer recognize it?
- Can you open it?
- Can you add/remove files to/from it?
If the answer to these is "Yes", then eject and move it back to you other computer to try again. If you still have no luck, then you know the issue is something with your computer, not the drive itself.
- slide 3 of 6
2) Remove and Reset
If you completed all the things in step 1, you're already part of the way to completing step 2. If not, all this requires is to properly eject your external flash drive (drag the icon to the recycle bin) and shut down your computer. Most people would say that you can simply start it back up right away, but I'd recommend waiting a few minutes and letting your computer cool or take a bit of a break. Afterwards, start it back up and re-plugin your flash drive to see if it had any effect. If not, try step 3.
- slide 4 of 6
3) Format Your Flash Drive
This one doesn't work so well if you had a Mac Mini copy failure to your USB flash drive because the flash drive won't even show up on your desktop, but if the issue is elsewhere, it's a great idea to reformat the device. To do this, insert the flash drive firmly into the port, open up "Disk Utility" and highlight your flash drive. If you look in the upper middle, you'll see an "Erase" tab. Click this, change the formatting option to "MS-DOS (FAT)", and then select "Erase". It should take just a few seconds (maybe up to a minute) to do this, and then you should be clear to go.
Note: Formatting your USB flash drive will destroy all data on the drive.
- slide 5 of 6
4) Go Buy a New Flash Drive
At the end of the day, even if your flash drive is totally and completely ruined, they really don't cost all that much money. Most of them can be found in the 1-4GB size range at your local tech store for less then $15, so ultimately it's probably not even worth it to call customer support and try and get things sorted out. If, however, this is your second or third flash drive you've been having issues with, and they've all been from the same company, it's probably in your best interest to either get your money back or have them sort out the issues for you.

We made it through day four of Whole 30!
We've made it through our first couple of days! Hello, Day Four! Successfully eating from the Whole30 plan for three days is worthy of celebration in my book! Congratulate each other! Cheer each other on! We're in this as a team, and with the support of each other, we can do this!
This week will be the most difficult. Cravings, irritations, and – the hardest part for me – making Whole30 a part of my regular routine lie ahead. Three days… I can do anything for three days! But, during the middle of the work-week… that's where my real struggle will be. In our house, Monday through Friday is a blur, consisting of early mornings, getting three little girls dressed and to school on time, picking them up on time, homework, playtime, quick meals, and early bedtimes. No matter how hard I try, there are always variables. Sick kids, late meetings, and hundreds of other things can throw my well-intended plans right out the window.
Planning for the unexpected is how I'm going to succeed for the next 26 days. I know your lives are just as busy, so I want to share a few things I'm going to be doing to help me succeed even on the most unpredictable days.
- I missed a meal! Keep Whole30 approved snacks on hand at all times to keep you from rushing to the junk food. Galactic Trail Mix and Pederson's No Sugar Fully Cooked Bacon (these will be available on The Simple Grocer soon!) are great to throw in your purse or keep in the car! I'm also going to keep some SeaSnax around for a lighter snack.
- I need a boost! I'm making Protein Power Balls to give me the boost I need in the mornings or after a workout!
- I'm out of time! I'll be pre-making meals for days like this! I've found some great inspiration for Emergency Meals here.
- I can't eat travel snacks! Stay away from traditional airport and gas station snacks! Pack your own snacks with healthier options! Fresh fruits and veggies, raw nuts, almond butter, Larabars, and some Fully Cooked Pederson's No Sugar Bacon are all easy to pack and will save you from the travel snack binge.
Don't worry – you aren't the only one craving your former food today. My coffee just isn't the same without cream and sugar, but it got so much better when I found Nutpods. A total game changer for me!
Just remember to power through! Let's keep each other accountable! Ask how someone is doing. Make plans to do something together at lunch. You'll be a whole lot less tempted with friends by your side!
We can do this! #grablifebythebacon
– Stacy Dudley, The Paleo Cowgirl

January 31, 2014 15:56 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jan. 31, 2014) - Lone Pine Resources Inc.

Chris Brown and Justin Bieber Angstily Dance Their Way Through the Apocalypse
The "Next 2 You" video is here.
A rough cut leaked a few weeks back, but now the final version of Chris Brown and Justin Bieber's music video for "Next 2 You" is here. Are you shrieking right now? Of course you are. What other response would be appropriate for a landmark collaboration between the nation's two leading teen heartthrobs? Thankfully, the video-makers have understood the gravity of the situation and have produced footage that is appropriately bonkers. We start off with Bieber and Breezy, and their respective love interests; then, some kind of disaster strikes, the world starts splitting in half, and our heroes have to rescue their girls. At one point, Chris sees his lady. She's on the ground and appears to be in some trouble. They make eye contact, she mouths "I love you," she dies, then Brown jumps into an abyss. Right after, there's a really big, tortured dance number. Other things that come to mind: Are the "oh na na" backing vocals in any way a reference to Rihanna's similar-sounding "What's My Name?" Is it weird that Bieber gets to end the video, even though he's just the guest performer, by kissing his woman? And is Justin teaming up with Chris at all controversial, or are the Beliebers totally onboard with Brown?

It's a light slate locally in the first round of state basketball playoff action on Monday.
Six Midlands teams begin the postseason sweepstakes tonight, but only two teams open at home – Airport and Dreher.
Airport (15-8) hosts Stall in first-round game in the Lower State bracket. The Eagles had a memorable regular season, winning the first out-right region championship in program history. Airport went 10-0 to claim Region 5 honors and is riding a 12-game winning streak into the playoffs. Sophomore Taylor Payne is the lone Eagle player who sports a double-digit scoring average. The Eagles, who got off to a 1-7 start, rely on team defense to get by. Airport's defensive average during the current winning streak is 25.8 points per game.
Dreher (19-6) opens the 3A playoffs with a first-round Upper State bracket game against Blue Ridge. The defending state champion Blue Devils started the season with 10 straight wins before faltering against a parade of quality out-of-state teams during the Christmas holidays. Then, Dreher came up short in two Region 4 battles against Lower Richland.
Are the Devils ready to return to form? Is another Dreher-Lower Richland confrontation in the Upper State championship game at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville inevitable? Stay tuned.
Junior Kayla Duckett (17.4 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 2.3 apg, 3.5 spg) and freshman Jhileiya Dunlap (11.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg) are the big guns for Dreher, but there is solid support from sophomore Jordan Starr (8.3 ppg), senior Jazmine Robinson (6.3 ppg, 3.2 apg, 3.5 spg) and junior Makayla Johnson (5.2 ppg, 5.2 rpg).
Blue Ridge (16-8) went 11-3 in Region 2, but finished in third place behind Berea and Greenville. Juniors Ross Mathias (18.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.0 apg, 2.8 spg) and Eden Holombo (12.1 ppg, 3.0 apg, 2.5 spg) are the top Fighting Tigers players.
Chapin (12-11) Has a tough opener at Berea, a team that finished in a first-place tie with Greenville in loaded Region 2. The youthful Eagles are looking to change the recent trend of early playoff exits – four first-round losses in the last five years. Junior ShaLeighya Sulton (15.0 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 2.1 apg, 4.0 spg) is the Eagles go-to player.
A.C. Flora (11-13) plays Greenville on the road. The Falcons have struggled of late, losing six of their last seven games, but the one win against Westwood during the skid was enough to secure a playoff spot. Senior Kyeshia Dawkins (16.4 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 2.9 apg, 2.9 spg) and sophomore Haniyyah Howard (10.4 ppg, 5.3 rpg) carry the production load for ACF.
Gilbert (11-9) has been a competitive team in its first season in Class 3A. The Indians finished in third place in Region 5 and travel to face Hilton Head in a first-round Lower State game
C.A. Johnson (7-13) blew a chance to rate a Class 1A playoff home opener by losing to Lamar 55-41 in the Region 3 finale last week. The Green Hornets, who have won two playoff openers in a row, will try to keep the streak alive with a road success against former region rival Fox Creek.

What does it mean when lupus is "active"?
Lupus Foundation of America
Resource Content
When a lupus flare occurs, many people will notice a return of the symptoms they experienced previously. However, some people may also develop new symptoms. Active disease is caused by inflammation in an organ or organ system.
Common symptoms that indicate a flare are:
- Ongoing fever not due to an infection
- Painful, swollen joints
- An increase in fatigue
- Rashes
- Sores or ulcers in the mouth or nose
- General swelling in the legs
DID YOU KNOW? Some flares happen without symptoms. This is why it is important to see a trained lupus doctor who regularly monitors your health.

Hitachi Unveils New 10K RPM Hard Drive
Posted: 04:12PM
Author: CheeseMan42
Hitachi GST has begun to ship its new hard drive, the Ultrastar C10K600. The new drive joins its enterprise lineup, and will be available in capacities of 300GB, 450GB, and 600GB. Although no price has been released, enterprise drives usually command a premium over drives typically used by consumers. The 10K RPM drive fits into a 2.5 inch form factor, and features two 6Gb/s SAS ports. Hitachi claims improvements of 15% and 18% in random and sequential performance, respectively. If these estimates are true, then it should prove to be popular in comparison to the competition. In addition to being faster, Hitachi claims that it uses 22% less power than competing products. Speed and power efficiency would make it great for data centers and servers.

Take your career to the next level
A Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree gives students the competitive edge to prepare for a wider range of career options, with more opportunity for advancement and greatly increased earning potential.
An advanced business degree can be your gateway to a rewarding and challenging career in a business-related field such as accounting, human resources, marketing and manufacturing. But the benefits of an M.B.A. reach far beyond the business world. The program pairs well with careers in health care, government, education and nonprofit – and many students enter the M.B.A. program with non-business degrees.
A customized degree plan
Coursework for the M.B.A. program can be customized to fit your educational background, interests and goals. Electives offer students an opportunity to take specialized courses in areas of particular interest, and required undergraduate courses in accounting, economics, finance, management, statistics and marketing provide a solid foundation for students entering the program without a background in business.
View a sample M.B.A. degree plan.

How to apply
An undergraduate degree in business is not required for admission. Students with a degree in any field can apply to SFA's M.B.A. program as long as they meet the program's admission requirements.
To be considered for admission to the M.B.A. program, applicants must fill out and submit an application, plus their GMAT scores and official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. A minimum GMAT score of 420, plus one of the following criteria must be met:
- Achieve a minimum of 1050 points using the formula: (200 x overall GPA) + GMAT score; or
- Achieve a minimum of 1050 points using the formula: (200 x Upper-division* GPA) + GMAT score
*Upper-division can either be the last 60 hours of undergraduate coursework (excluding freshmen-level courses) or all junior/senior courses.
You can apply for a waiver for the GMAT requirement if you meet one of the following requirements:
- You have a GPA of 3.5 or higher from an accredited U.S. college or university
- You have more than 3 years of professional management experience
International students must submit TOEFL scores in addition to GMAT scores. Applicants must score a minimum of 213 on the computer-based test; 80 on the Internet-based test; or 550 on the paper-based test.

Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology & Anthropology, Seton Hall University
C Lynn Carr's published scholarship has focused on the interplay between the individual and the social within sex, gender, sexual, and (more recently) religious identity construction. She has written about the relationship between social power and individual agency within gender and sexual identification, consciousness, and practice; the importance of cultural classification schemes in gender and sexual identity and cognitions; and distinctions between and connections among sex, gender and sexual identifications and practices in several peer reviewed journals: Sex Roles, Symbolic Interaction, the Journal of Bisexuality, and Gender & Society. Dr. Carr's most recent research employs a variety of qualitative methodologies (including in-depth interviews, an online survey, and autoethnographic fieldwork) to explore issues of cultural identification and change in post- or late-modern pluralistic society among cultural newcomers to the Afro-Cuban Lukumi and Ifa religious traditions in the United States. She is currently working on a book-length manuscript focusing on the yaworaje (or "year in white") in these African-diasporic religious traditions, as a strategic site for exploring issues of identity in a diversifying U.S. society. Dr. Carr teaches a variety of introductory and advanced undergraduate courses on gender, sexuality, social problems and solutions, deviance and conformity, American society, religion, and social inequalities.

Panasonic UK News
Panasonic Introduces Portable NA Wireless Speaker System with Industry Leading Playback Time
Press Release • Aug 26, 2013 09:00 BST
Panasonic announces the SC-NA30 and SC-NA10 wireless speaker systems from its new NA range. With the longest playback time currently available[1], unrivalled sound quality, smart networking and elegant design, the SC-NA30 and SC-NA10 compact speakers enable you to complement your lifestyle with outstanding portable audio.
The SC-NA30 with its contemporary design based on classic Hi-Fi style provides high quality, rich sound in your home, on the terrace, balcony or in the park. Similarly, the SC-NA10 is perfectly suited for use inside or out, providing an uncompromised audio experience in the garden, at a picnic or while travelling.
"The new NA series is perfect for enjoying music at home or on the go," said Adam Marshall, Product Manager, Home AV, Panasonic UK. "Panasonic appreciates that listening habits differ from person to person and Panasonic's NA Series provides the highest quality audio, intelligent networking coupled with beautiful design, to suit our customers' audio preferences and lifestyles. Our SC-NA30 with its amazing audio quality is particularly suited for use in and around the home; while the more compact size of the SC-NA10 with its unique protective cover offers total portability."
Up to 20hrs playback and easy connectivity
With up to 20hrs playback, both the SC-NA30 and SC-NA10 boast the longest playback time currently available[2], provide outstanding connectivity options and are easy to use.
Compatible with the Panasonic Music Streaming application, the SC-NA30 and SC-NA10 connect to your smart phone or tablet, enabling instant access to all of your favourite music with the simple touch of a button.
As well as streaming audio from a portable device, the NA Series also acts as a speaker phone thanks to an integrated microphone. Furthermore, with the long-life, re-chargeable batteries housed within the portable speakers, smartphones can be charged via a USB cable, even while music is being played.
Premium sound quality, wirelessly
Panasonic's commitment to end-to-end audio technology ensures that the new NA Series offers unrivalled sound quality in a portable form. From the seamless connection of devices through to the digital processing and speaker technology, each element of the SC-NA30 and SC-NA10 represents the very best in wireless audio performance.
Despite its compact design, the SC-NA30 packs an incredibly powerful audio capability. Two front 2-inch speakers and an integrated subwoofer reproduce a naturally expansive sound, as well as deep, robust bass. Furthermore, a double passive radiator protects the bass from any unwanted vibrations, further enhancing the audio quality. The SC-NA10 houses two front 1.6-inch speakers for crisp, clear vocals and a single passive radiator to help deliver great quality, undistorted bass.
Like the SC-NA30, the SC-NA10 also benefits from components which drive the speaker cone more efficiently producing powerful audio, usually associated with much larger speaker systems.
Panasonic's XBS Master sound processing technologies can also be found in both the SC-NA30 and SC-NA10. This technology delivers even more power, clarity and accuracy by amplifying low frequencies, eliminating unwanted sound and minimising distortion.
Contemporary design based on classic Hi-Fi style
Both the SC-NA30 and SC-NA10 are stunningly designed. The SC-NA30 has a slim and stylish silver or black body featuring a stainless mesh over the speaker and classic volume, bass and treble controls.
The SC-NA10 is similarly sleek and includes a compact, purse-like case, to allow easy portability anytime, indoors or out. The NA10's case also acts as a stand for the speaker and comes in a choice of navy blue' or coral red'[3].
Pricing and Availability
Both models are available from September and have a suggested retail price of £249 for the SC-NA30 and £149 for the SC-NA10.

What's Your Heresy?
Can a plane fly with no jet fuel?
Ridiculous, right? But the aviation industry is starting to ask itself this very question. In early 2008, Virgin Airlines and Boeing launched a test flight where one engine ran partly on biofuels, in this case coconut oil. I've done some work with Boeing and heard their environmental execs tossing around ideas like these for a plan they call Project Heresy. I love it.
Imagine creating space for disruptive innovation where no question is dumb. It's the "no-left turns" approach (after UPS' catchy phrase for its GPS-enabled route minimization that included avoiding left turns to save idling time). Of course, now might not seem like the best time to look for next-generation ideas, given the economic climate. But even if the focus in the green realm turns mainly to getting lean this year, there is still opportunity for rapid innovation. Here are a few more heretical questions:
Can we send no waste to the landfill?
What a pain that sounds like. It's so much easier to just cart it all away. But Subaru and a few others have found that they can reduce landfill waste not just a lot, but to zero. The last trip to the dump from Subaru's Lafayette, Indiana plant was May 4, 2004. It's a longer story for another time, but through the old "reduce, reuse, recycle" mantra, the company has easily paid for the effort through savings, brought toxic emissions per unit down 55%, and reduced CO2 per unit by 20%. All these benefits stemmed from a focus on getting lean and reducing waste and from asking a seemingly wacky question.
What does our business look like if oil goes to $500 per barrel?
At first, the idea of a ten-fold increase in the price of oil sounds ridiculous. But we went from $14 to $140 in less than 10 years, so it's possible. We're facing a medium and long-term constraint on energy and other basic resources. Some diehards are holding onto the notion that there will always be enough, but the Wall Street Journal and other sober business sources have been hitting a theme very hard all year - supply will not keep up with demand in the coming years. That means we either substitute out (by asking, "Can we drive or fly without oil?") or deal with very high prices, which brings me back to my heresy about $500 oil. But whether or not you believe prices will rise again, asking the question makes you think differently, perhaps creating the mental space for real innovation. If your products can help your customers reduce costs or avoid environmental challenges, you'll find a market. Which brings me to...
Can we clean the floor with no chemicals?
Ok, this one is a bit more particular to a specific industry. I'm referring here to the question that the mid-sized commercial cleaning company, Tennant, asked itself a few years ago. It's a story I've been telling a lot, but in short, Tennant developed a process that allows their floor-cleaning machines (the small Zamboni-like machines you see janitors pushing around) to use just tap water. The technology works and avoids chemicals. Instead of just getting more efficient, Tennant found a way to avoid the chemicals entirely, thus allowing customers to avoid a major environmental and safety concern.
Heretical ideas have swept industries many times. If someone in the advertising, television, or music businesses had asked 10 years ago, "What if people stop watching commercials?" or "What if people think music should be free?" they would've been laughed out of the room. Then Tivo and Napster asked those questions. Of course, one turned out to be illegal, but their innovations laid the groundwork for others, like iTunes. And the television business is in the middle of a painful transformation away from traditional 60 second spots.
Environmental pressures will force much bigger changes than these in many industries in the coming years. Are you ready? What's your heresy?

Disney's Club Penguin–a virtual world for kids where they can play and interact together and that's very Web-safety-aware–invaded one of the busiest stretches of asphalt in the world on Friday to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the popular site's launch–as well as the launch of many, many Club Penguin-branded Web-interactive toys, in the Toys "R"' Us across the street.
A giant igloo (tent) filled with Club Penguin, uh, stuff, was erected at Broadway and 44th Street; a bit north from that was a stage, an amazing CP-themed cake, and a light-up dance floor. Everything was well guarded by a phalanx of gigantic suit-wearing men, who were there primarily to keep kids from dashing into traffic. Said kids lined up for hours beforehand to get a chance to win prizes, spot a celebrity or two, and learn the "Club Penguin dance." (And in case you're wondering, there will be no YouTube footage of yours truly!)
Pics of the event and the toys, after the jump.
UPDATE: Want to see the Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force game trailer? Go to AppScout!
Club Penguin's chilly oasis amid Times Square traffic.
Cofounder Lane Merrifield was there to speak a little about how Club Penguin's background and mission. "Club Penguin is all about the kids…"
While the event was happening, kids who couldn't be there in person could watch online as they played in Club Penguin.
Lane gets a hug from a grateful Club Penguin aficionado.
One of the Club Penguin plush figures–there are many other characters, each with an online code redeemable for an ingame outfit like the character's. They retail for $9.99.
Each figure set comes with two characters–which have interchangeable body parts!–and an accessory, as well as an online redeemable code. $5.99.
The Puffle Pals, $5.99 a piece.

Juliette's been a Club Penguin member about a year and loves the games.
Erica and her mom came in from Jersey City for the event; she likes to buy new clothes for her game avatar, and says her whole class plays games at Club Penguin.
At the Times Square Toys "R" Us, kids went online to play around at Club Penguin.
A Nintendo DS game, Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force, is also launching soon ($29.99).
Cutest and most elaborate cake I've seen in a while.

Two snowboarders enjoy the view at Gore Mountain ski center from Bear Mountain's Uncas Trail on Christmas Eve several years ago.
Two to four inches of new snow Saturday night have put an exclamation point on the snowfall that has already accumulated at Gore Mountain, and hundreds of skiers are enjoying early-season skiing this weekend, Gore officials said Sunday.
"We're excited about the crowd and the snow conditions here," Gore Manager Mike Pratt said. "We're happy that Mother Nature nature gave us this gift, allowing the opportunity to have a really good start on our season."
Gore's gondola which takes skiers to the top of the mountain is open, and so is the Sunway life. Open for skiing as of noon Sunday were the challenging Foxlair, Ruby Run, Sunway and Quicksilver trails, as well as Arena and 3B, both intermediate runs, as well as the easy Jamboree trail.
A total of seven trails — about three miles total — are open. This is the second week of operation for the 2013-14 season.
Last weekend's opening of Gore was the earliest opening of the full-service ski resort since 1986. Gore is featuring a promotion that now only is building up a crowd, but is helping local people in need: For each item of canned food brought to the ski center, a $10 discount on a lift ticket will be given — there's a $20 maximum discount. The food is donated to the food pantry at Johnsburg's Outreach Center, which provides various services to the community all year long., Pratt extended a welcome to people to come up to Gore and join the fun.
"Skiing conditions are great, and in addition to the snow that's fallen, we're making snow like crazy, " he said. "We've go a nice crowd, every trail that's open is in great shape, and we're expanding terrain as fast as we can."

Scuba is the descriptor for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Emile Gagnan are reasoned to be the inventors of the aqua-lung match kit we have present.
The key jargon in SCUBA are 'Self Contained', since the secondary forms of diving event gear wheel be on a hose, which leads to the facade of the sea.

Finally, researchers such as Cousteau approved that filtered and sublimate closed air was the greatest gas cocktail to use in self-contained inhaling tendency. During World War II, in circles 1942-43, Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Emile Gagnan reworked a nervous tension clock which Gagnan had at first built-up to modify automobiles to run on seedlike oils due to acute scarceness of oil during the war. The new regulator would dispatch trampled air at the exact force per unit area to defuse the coercion put on the diver's chest by the river. They titled their machine the 'Aqua-lung', and this has been the conceiver for the ventilator diving cogwheel of today

The Tech Silent Spring
I have been going through this list of NYC tech companies (Made In NYC) and if there is one pattern there it is that these tech companies take great pride in not having a phone number to call.
I am not sure that is a good thing.
Silent Spring Silent Spring is a book written by Rachel Carson and published by Houghton Mifflin on September 27, 1962. The book is widely credited with helping launch the environmental movement. .... Silent Spring facilitated the ban of the pesticide DDT in 1972 in the United States. ..... Silent Spring has been featured in many lists of the best nonfiction books of the twentieth century. ... Most recently, Silent Spring was named one of the 25 greatest science books of all time by the editors of Discover Magazine.There are so many options to blog. There are so few options to podcast. I know of no easy one.
Things are too silent on the web. Voice's time will come. I see an opening.
