CASCADE TOWNSHIP, MI The atmosphere on the production floor at Teleperformance USA was relaxed on a recent Thursday morning as about 30 employees answered questions and handled problems for cell phone customers from throughout North America.
It was Wacky Tacky Day and assistant call center manager Jill Boersma was wearing sneakers, jeans and a glittery red top as she circulated among the call center representatives.
Theres a true sense of family here, said Boersma, who joined Teleperformance six months ago. She is one of more than 300 people the Utah-based company has hired since opening the call center operation at 2680 Horizon Drive SE.
By the end of the year, the call center should employ 600 in the two-story office building that was remodeled for $3.9 million, said Brandon Walker, recruiting lead for the local operation.
The center currently operates from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. before the incoming calls are switched to one of Teleperformances 270 other contact centers in 56 countries. Eventually, the center will operate 24/7 on behalf of its single telecommunications client, Walker said.
Teleperformance, which agreed to a tour of its new offices on the condition its client was not identified, is one of several call center operations that have opened or expanded in the greater Grand Rapids area over the past several years.
In 2008, Priceline opened a call center inside a former Siemens Dematic office building at 4147 Eastern Ave. SE, to serve its Booking.com subsidiary. The hotel booking agency announced plans to double its 400-person workforce about one year ago.
In Holland, NOVO1 operates a call center whose operators provide assistance to motorists with on-call systems wired into their vehicles. Last August, officials of Texas-based NOVO1 announced they were adding 75 positions to their roster of more than 430 jobs in Holland. Farmers Insurance Group also operates a large call center from its offices in Caledonia Township.
Tim Mroz, a spokesperson for the Right Place economic development program, said West Michigans economy and workforce provide a good fit for call centers.
There are more than 83,000 college students in the area, creating a large part-time and full-time labor pool for call centers, Mroz said.
West Michigan also has a large population of foreign language speakers who are highly sought after by call center operators, Mroz said. More than 40 languages are spoken in West Michigan, he said.
According to a 2012 Right Place report on call centers, the median wage for call center operators is $12.69 an hour in West Michigan.
At Teleperformance, workers are paid $9.75 an hour during their seven-week training period, Walker said. The pay increases to $10.75 an hour when employees begin taking calls with bonuses for successful customer surveys and high quality scores.
Employees are given a half hour lunch break and two 15-minute breaks during the course of their 812-hour workday, Walker said. They are expected to answer question and resolve issues involving their customers' bills, their cell phones and service levels.
T\o keep things relaxed, the Teleperformance offices have been outfitted with large break rooms that include vending machines, televisions, foosball and ping pong tables.
Most of the employees work a 40-hour week, Walker said. Overtime is available for workers who request it. In the future, part-time positions also may open up as the center gets busier.
On the call center floor, workers are in contact with customers almost 712 hours a day, Walker said. The average call lasts 800 seconds, or just over 13 minutes.
As the call center operators work at their cubicles, SMEs or subject matter experts wearing yellow jackets scan the floor, looking for raised hands that indicate they need help or advice on a call.
From a raised platform in middle of the room, two Mission Control supervisors make sure the call volume is being handled smoothly among the 15- to 20-member teams on the floor.
Dawn Locke, one of the supervisors, said she joined Teleperformance in July after working in a similar job for Charter Communications for the previous nine years. Over there, I wore 20 hats, she said. Here, I wear two.
Walker, a 32-year-old Columbus, Ohio, native who began with Teleperformance as call center representative 10 years ago, said he enjoys recruiting new call center employees with all levels of experience and backgrounds.
Youre able to make a difference and change lives, he said. RELATED: Teleperformance Group joins West Michigan's call-in industry, will hire up to 300 employees Jim Harger covers business for MLive/Grand Rapids Press. Email him at email@example.com or follow him on Twitter or Facebook or Google+.

Kitty Howie, Lifestyle Editor, decks her halls with trees, tinsel and tidings of good cheer.
Tis' the time for tinsel, at least in my case. As soon as 1 December strikes, I'm struck with the insatiable desire to cover most surfaces in my house with chintzy snow-flake cut outs and enough tinsel to make my eyeballs hurt.
Decoration at Christmas time has always played a big part in my family's celebration, particularly because it drew us all together: it would be a special occasion to go out on a drive to the Christmas tree yard at the crack of dawn in order to secure the best tree.
The hall in my childhood home has a big wooden staircase which wraps around like a spiral. I'll never forget the year when my Mum and Dad forked out for our biggest ever tree – I think it was roughly the same size as the tree in the Forum. The thing was so big it had to be delivered as we couldn't chaotically drive it home on top of the car roof as normal. We hadn't considered that we wouldn't be able to fit it through the front door. Or the back door. Or the French doors.
In true Basil Fawlty-style mania, my Dad took to sawing the top of tree off so we could get into the house, and then went about re-attaching it with metal wires. Regardless of its butch and perhaps unorthodox construction appearance, it's the most memorable and beautiful Christmas tree I've ever seen.
In the same way decorating draws my family together each year, the same can be said of my experiences decorating our fresher accommodation and student houses in Exeter.
In first year we bonded over the colour scheme of baubles and tinsel, all clubbing together for a Poundstretcher tree and health and safety dubious fairy lights. After putting everything up in our kitchen and admiring the beauty and novelty of tinsel hanging precariously from the ceiling, we subsequently bonded over the horror of having to take everything down following a strict "fire hazard warning" letter from the accommodation office.
Second year was better – with the useless landlord permanently out of the picture in Malta, sellotape and blu-tac were liberally applied to all surfaces, including our dubiously painted walls (naughty, fuck the deposit). We sat down together with glitter glue and an extraordinary amount of cotton wool and worked together to make handmade decorations. Other than sitting and eating together most nights, it was really nice to spend time together creating decorations which we'd all be able to enjoy. We dragged our previously banned fresher tree out of the cupboard and revelled in placing it in a prime position in the bay window. Our house screamed festive fun. Until someone stole our garland from the front door.
Third year so far has largely been the same as second year, except the fairy lights were a lot harder to untangle and our garland is nailed more firmly to the front door. Constructing the Poundstretcher tree this year made me feel incredibly nostalgic: whilst no saws were involved, when the top of the tree was accidentally snapped off in a hangover-induced stupor and I found myself forlornly winding gaffa tape around the trunk, I was reminded of my Dad attempting similar reparations all those years before.
Whilst my kind of Christmas decoration certainly is not high art, its abundance of twinkly tinsel paired with a sense of tradition, routine and nostalgia inherently appeal. A lot of people use the excuse of 'expense' to explain the absence of decoration in their student lets, yet after the initial investment in Poundland and Poundstretcher first year, we haven't had to spend anything else on Christmas decorations. Paired with the ability to draw friends and family together, plus the capacity to improve upon paper snowflake cutouts every year, Christmas decorations can't fail to put a smile on my face.

JAMES STARES STRAIGHT AHEAD, WITH no immediate reaction to what I've just told him. I think he's in shock. I follow his gaze out the windshield to the empty parking lot of the convenience store off the highway. The building is abandoned, plywood covering the windows, black graffiti tagged on the white siding. In a way, James and I have been abandoned too, our former selves boarded up and locked away while the world moves on around us. We were supposed to accept that change, follow the rules. Instead we broke all of them.
The streetlight above us flickers out as the sun, still below the mountains, begins to illuminate the cloudy horizon. It's nearly five in the morning, and I know we'll have to move soon if we want to stay ahead of the roadblocks. We'd barely beat the one at the Idaho border, and now there's an Amber Alert issued for our safe return.
Right. Because The Program is just concerned with our safety.
"It's a pill," James repeats quietly, finally coming around. "Michael Realm left you a pill that could bring back our memories"—he turns to me—"but he gave you only one."
I nod, watching as James's normally handsome face sags, almost like he's losing himself all over again. Since leaving The Program, James has been searching for a way to understand his past, our shared past. In my back pocket is a folded plastic Baggie with a little orange pill inside, a pill that can unlock everything. But I've made my choice: The risks are too high, the chance of relapsing too great to ignore. There will be grief and heartache and pain. Realm's sister's final words to me resonate: Sometimes the only real thing is now. And here, with James, I know exactly who I am.
"You're not going to take it, are you?" James asks, reading my expression. His bright blue eyes are weary, and it's hard to believe that just yesterday we were at the river, kissing and ignoring the world around us. For a moment we knew what it felt like to be free.
"The pill will change everything," I say. "I'll remember who I was, but I can never be her again, not really. All the pill can do is hurt me—bring back the sorrow I felt when I lost my brother. And I'm sure there are others. I like who I am with you, James. I like us together and I'm scared of messing that up."
James runs his fingers through his golden hair, blowing out a hard breath. "I'm never going to leave you, Sloane." He looks out the driver's side window. The clouds have gathered above us, and I think it'll be only a matter of time before we're caught in a downpour. "We're together," he says definitively, glancing back at me. "But there's only one pill, and I'd never take it without you. I'd never take that choice away from you."
My heart swells. James is choosing this life with me, a life I want except for the part where The Program is hunting us down. I lean over, my hands on his chest, and he pulls me closer.
James licks his lips, pausing before he kisses me. "We're going to keep the pill in case we change our minds later, right?"
"My thought exactly."
"You're so smart," he whispers, and kisses me. My hands slide up to his cheeks, and I begin to get lost in the feeling of him, the heat of his mouth on mine. I murmur that I love him, but his response is drowned out by the sound of squealing tires.
James spins to look outside. He begins to fumble with the keys in the ignition just as a white van screeches to a stop, barricading our SUV against the concrete wall of the highway behind us.
Panic, thick and choking, sweeps over me. I scream for James to go, even though the only way out is to ram them. But we can't go back to The Program to be erased again. James yanks down the gear lever, ready to floor it, when the driver's side door of the van opens and a person jumps out. I pause, my eyebrows pulled together in confusion, because there's no white jacket, no comb-smoothed hair of a handler.
It's a girl. She's wearing a Nirvana T-shirt and has long bleached-blond dreads flowing over her shoulders. She's tall, incredibly thin, and when she smiles, her bright-red lips pull apart to reveal a large gap between her two front teeth. I reach to put my hand on James's forearm, but he still looks like he's about to run her down. "Wait," I say.
James glances over at me as if I'm crazy, but then the other side of the van opens and a guy stands on the running board to peer over the door at us. He has two half-moon bruises under his eyes and a swollen nose. The vulnerability of his battered appearance is enough to make James stop, though, and he restrains himself from stomping on the gas.
The girl holds up her hands. "You can relax," she calls. "We're not with The Program."
James rolls down his window, the car still in drive and ready to launch forward—crushing her—at any second. "Then who the hell are you?" he demands.
The girl's smile widens and she tosses a look back at her companion before turning to James. "I'm Dallas," she says. "Realm sent us a message to find you." At the mention of Realm, I tell James to turn off the car, relieved that my friend is okay.
Dallas walks in front of the car, her boots echoing off the pavement, before she comes to pause at James's window. She lifts one of her dark eyebrows and looks him over. "Realm must have forgotten to mention how pretty you are," she says wryly. "Shame on him."
"How'd you find us?" James asks, ignoring her comment. "We went to the border for Lacey and Kevin, but there were patrols everywhere. We barely got through."
Dallas nods toward the car. "The phone Realm's sister gave you has a tracking device. Pretty handy, but you should probably ditch it now." Both James and I look in the center console at the black phone that was already in the car when we got in. There's also a duffel bag on the backseat, along with a couple hundred dollars Anna left us for provisions. But is this it? Are we part of the rebels now? If so . . . they don't look all that pulled together.
"Your friends," Dallas says, "never made it to the border either. We found Lacey, huddled in her Bug and crying. Seems Kevin didn't show. I think there's more to the story, but I'll let her tell it."
My heart sinks. What happened to Kevin? "Where's Lacey?" I ask. "Is she okay?"
"She's a firecracker." Dallas laughs. "She wouldn't talk to me, so I had Cas try and coax her out of her vehicle. She broke his nose. We had to sedate her, but don't worry, we don't steal your memories." She says it in a spooky voice, like The Program is just a monster living under our beds. I'm starting to wonder if she's sane. "Anyway . . ." She sighs, slipping her hands into the back pockets of her jeans. "She's already on her way to the safe house. And unless you're trying to get caught, I'd suggest you get out of the vehicle and come with me."
"In that van?" James scoffs. "You think we're less conspicuous in a big white van?"
She nods. "Yep. It's something a handler would drive. Not a group of people on the run. Listen—James, is it? You're superhot and all, but you don't strike me as a real thinker. So maybe just follow orders and bring your little girlfriend into the van so we can get out of here."
"Screw you," I say, offended on so many levels it's difficult to pick just one. James turns to me, his brow furrowed.
"What do you think?" he asks quietly. I can see his indecision, but we don't have any other options right now. We were on our way to find the rebels, but they found us first. Lacey is with them.
"We have to get to Lacey," I say, wishing we could run off on our own. But we don't have the resources. We'll need to regroup.
James groans, not wanting to give in to Dallas. His aversion to authority is one of my very favorite things about him. "Fine," he says, looking back at Dallas. "But what are we going to do with the Escalade? It's a nice car."
"Cas is going to drive it back."
"What?" James asks. "Why does he get to—"
"Cas isn't on the run," she interrupts. "He's never been in The Program. He can drive through any checkpoint he wants. He's going ahead to scout the trip, get us to the safe house unscathed."
"Where are we going?" I ask.
Dallas casts a bored glance in my direction, looking annoyed that I spoke to her. "All in good time, sweetheart. Now, if you'd both climb out, we have a little business to take care of first."
James and I exchange a look, but ultimately we get out of the car. Cas starts toward us, and for a moment I have the fear we're getting carjacked. Especially when Cas pulls out a fistful of zip ties.
"What the fuck are those for?" James yells, grabbing my arm to pull me back.
Dallas puts her hand on her hip. "Cas had his nose broken today, and to be honest, you seem pretty volatile. This is for our protection. We don't trust you. You're returners."
The way she says "returners" makes us sound like we're abominations, like we disgust her. But it was probably just the right thing to say to catch us off guard, break us down enough so Cas could come behind us and slip the ties around our wrists, pulling them tight. Just then I feel the first drop of rain hit my cheek. I look sideways at James; he's angry, watching as Dallas and Cas go through the Escalade, take out our money, and toss the canvas bag onto the pavement. The rain starts to fall in a drizzle, and Dallas scowls at the sky. She walks around to swipe our bag from the ground, hanging it lazily over her shoulder.
I feel vulnerable, and I can't remember how we got here. We should have kept running. But now we hardly have a choice, so we follow behind Dallas as she leads us to the van and helps us into the back, slamming the door closed behind us.
* * *
James's shoulder is against mine as we sit in the backseat of the white van. I've become hyperaware of everything—the faint scents of gasoline and rubber tires that cling to my hair; the murmur from the police scanner too low to understand. James's fingers brush along mine, and I instinctively turn. He's staring ahead, his jaw set hard as he broods about the restraints. We've been driving for hours, and the hard plastic has rubbed my skin raw. I imagine it's doing the same to him.
Dallas glances in the rearview mirror in time to see James's hateful expression. "Don't worry, handsome. We're almost there. There's been a change of plans. Our warehouse in Philadelphia was raided last night, so we're going to our safe house in Salt Lake City."
Alarmed, I straighten up. "But Realm told us to head east. He said—"
"I know what Michael Realm told you," she snaps. "But then there's the reality of the situation. Don't be a child. The Program is hunting us; we're an infection they intend to cure. You should be happy we're helping you at all."
"I'll be honest, Dallas," James says in a shaky voice of barely contained rage. "If you don't take the ties off my girlfriend, I'm going to be a real asshole. I don't want to hurt you."
Dallas looks in the rearview mirror again, without even a hint of surprise. "What makes you think you can?" she asks seriously. "You have no idea what I'm capable of, James."
Her voice chills me, and I can see by James's posture that he knows his threat didn't have its intended effect. Dallas is hardcore; I'm not sure she's afraid of anything.
We continue to drive and the landscape changes. Instead of the canopy of trees we left behind in Oregon, the sky here is wide open. But there are still flowers, rolling green hills. And then, towering over all of it, is a massive set of mountains. It's breathtaking.
Behind my back, the zip tie is biting into the skin of my wrists. I wince but try to play it off when I see how angry it makes James. He adjusts his position so I can lean against him and relax, and together we watch as the country fades to chain-link fences and old mechanic shops.
"Welcome to Salt Lake City," Dallas says, turning into the parking lot of a low-rise warehouse with crumbling brick siding. I expected a compound, and my panic begins to rise at the thought of being so exposed to The Program. "Technically," Dallas adds, pursing her lips as she looks around at the neighborhood, "we're on the outskirts. The city's much nicer. But we're more secluded here. It's dense enough to keep us hidden during the day. Cas did a great job."
Dallas parks behind the Escalade and cuts the engine. She turns in her seat, looking us over. "Will you promise to be good boys and girls if we cut the restraints?" she asks. "Because we've made it this far, and I'd like to trust that you won't cause trouble."
Please don't say anything stupid, James.
"All I do is cause trouble," James responds in monotone. I turn to glare at him, but Dallas only laughs and climbs out. James looks sideways at me and shrugs, not all that apologetic for antagonizing the rebels who are basically holding us hostage.
The van door slides open with a loud metallic scrape and we're drowned in afternoon sunlight. We blink against it, and then Dallas takes my arm, pulling me from the van. I'm still adjusting to the brightness when Cas appears in front of me with a pocketknife. I suck in a frightened breath, but he quickly holds up his other hand.
"No, no," he says with a shake of his head, sounding offended that I'd think he would hurt me. "This is to cut the zip ties." He darts a look at James, who's moved to just inside the door, ready to pounce. "Here, seriously," Cas says, motioning him forward. "You're not prisoners, man."
James waits a beat, and then hops down onto the pavement. He turns his back to Cas, but keeps his gaze steady on me as Cas saws through the plastic binding. Dallas watches on, her high-arched dark eyebrows raised in amusement. It doesn't last long. The minute James is free, he spins and grabs Dallas's T-shirt in his fist, backing her against the van.
"If you mess with Sloane again," he growls, "I swear I'll—"
"You'll what?" Dallas asks coldly. "What will you do?" Dallas is nearly as tall as James, but she looks weak as her thin hand reaches to wrap around his wrist. She's calling his bluff. I watch as James's expression falters, and he lets her go. But before he steps away, Dallas's elbow shoots out, catching James in the chin with a sudden thud before her long leg hooks around his and she takes him to the ground. I yell his name, but James is still, lying there and staring at the sky. Dallas kneels next to him, smiling as she readjusts her crumpled shirt, the stretched-out material slipping off her shoulder.
"Such a temper," she says. "Too bad you didn't fight harder when they were dragging you into The Program." Her words shock me, hurt me, because it's such a cruel thing to say—as if it's our fault we were taken. James rubs his jaw, then pushes Dallas aside to climb up. He doesn't argue. How can we argue against something we can't remember?
"Now," Dallas says, making a loud clap, "we need to get inside." She walks toward the entrance of the loading dock. James mumbles that he's going to get our bag from the van.
The sun beats down on my cheeks. Without the shade of the trees, it's hotter than I'm used to. The lot next to this one is empty, and I think Dallas was right about the seclusion. It's quiet here.
Cas exhales and runs his hand through his long brown hair. On closer inspection, his nose doesn't look that broken. There's a small cut over the bridge, swelling in the nostrils, and of course the black bruising under his eyes. Lacey could have done worse.
"Dallas wasn't always like this," Cas says quietly. "She had a very different life before The Program."
"She was in The Program?" I ask, surprised. "She made it sound like she hated returners."
Cas shakes his head. "She hates what The Program does. Now she spends most of her time training."
"Training for what?" I ask, watching as James spits a mouthful of blood onto the pavement. Dallas hit him harder than I thought.
"Self-defense," Cas answers. "How to kill someone if she has to. Or wants to." He pauses. "Look, I know it doesn't seem like it, but we're on the same side."
"You sure?" I turn my shoulder so he can see the restraints still binding my hands. Cas apologizes, and gently holds my forearm so he can start cutting through the plastic.
"Who knows," Cas says from behind me. "Maybe in the end we'll all become friends." My wrists pull apart as the bond is cut, and I rub the spot where the restraints have left my skin raw.
"I wouldn't plan on that," James responds to Cas, and walks between us. He drops the duffel bag at our feet and then takes my hands to look over the red marks. He runs his thumb gently over the creased skin, then lifts my wrist to his lips to kiss it. "Better?" he asks, looking sorry even though this wasn't his fault.
I hug him, pressing my cheek against his neck. I'm not sure if our situation has gotten better or worse. "I'm freaking out," I murmur.
James turns his face into my hair, whispering so Cas won't hear. "Me too."
And somehow those words remind me of something, a phantom memory I can't quite place. The pill in my pocket could change that—I'd remember everything. I pull back from James and see the look in his eyes, an uncertainty, as if he senses a familiar memory too. He opens his mouth to talk, but then Dallas calls to us from the front door.
"Unless you're advertising for handler intervention," she says, "you'd better get out of sight."
The mention of handlers is enough to make me move. James takes my hand, and we walk toward the empty-looking building, toward what's left of the rebels, and hope we're safe from The Program. Even if for only a moment.
The Treatment
How do you stop an epidemic?
Sloane and James are on the run after barely surviving the suicide epidemic and The Program. But they're not out of danger. Huge pieces of their memories are still missing, and although Sloane and James have found their way back to each other, The Program isn't ready to let them go.
Escaping with a group of troubled rebels, Sloane and James will have to figure out who they can trust, and how to take down The Program. But for as far as they've come, there's still a lot Sloane and James can't remember. The key to unlocking their past lies with the Treatment—a pill that can bring back forgotten memories, but at a high cost. And there's only one dose.
Ultimately when the stakes are at their highest, can Sloane and James survive the many lies and secrets surrounding them, or will The Program claim them in the end?

The Treatment
By Suzanne Young
Discussion Questions
1. What can you do to get help if you, or someone close to you, exhibits signs of depression? Who are safe, reliable people in your life whom you can turn to?
2. Compare and contrast The Program to its sequel, The Treatment. How have the main characters changed? How have they remained consistent? Describe your experience reading The Treatment. Do you think it properly continued the story that began in The Program?
3. The Program considers teen depression "an infection." Define infection. How (or when) does depression qualify as infection? Is that a valid term? Is it possible for depression to be a behavioral contagion, as the Program argues? Sloane posits, "The Program says those who are infected exhibit all sorts of uncharacteristic behaviors, including promiscuity, anger, and depression. Maybe it never occurred to the good doctors that sometimes a couple might just be hot for each other or angry or sad. It's not always sickness." Defend or refute Sloane's theory.
4. Dr. Pritchard explains that a 100 percent cure rate is vitally important to The Program—"the committee made it clear that perfection was the ultimate goal." Why were the powers behind The Program so concerned with this unanimous"succes see more

ACCORDING TO Gerard Houllier, his close friend Guy Roux is the most gregarious of hosts.
And while the veteran coach's mood was darker than usual last night, he still laid on the perfect homecoming for his Liverpool counterpart.
With the pressure on and only the UEFA and Worthington Cups offering any real comfort in this arduous campaign, under-fire wasn't how Houllier had envisaged riding back to France with Liverpool for the first time.
Thanks to Sami Hyypia's 73rd-minute strike and the resilience of old as the Reds claimed a 22nd clean sheet in 39 European ties under Houllier, however, they now have a genuine shout of claiming both.
Painful memories of a dreadful first half will ensure no-one gets carried away, least of all the Anfield manager who was preaching caution after the game and admitting the football could be much better.
But it was not only a possibly priceless away goal Hyypia tucked into the corner of Fabien Cool's goal in Auxerre, comfortably contained by a dominant defensive display all evening, but a potentially season-saving result too.
No wonder Houllier was still standing in the centre circle long after the final whistle of this game, throwing a clenched-fist salute to a corner packed full of travelling fans and throwing off a little pressure in the process.
Now he just needs the job finishing properly at Anfield in seven days time and only then will he really savour his post-match Chablis with Roux.
Auxerre still have the quality and, in the returning Djibril Cisse, the cutting edge so evidently lacking here to inflict damage on the Reds behind their latest corner.
Houllier believes there are many similarities between the two sides and in the first half another appeared at Stade Abbe-Deschamps - neither ever looked like scoring.
An away goal would be vital to Liverpool's chances of reaching the quarter-finals, claimed the Reds boss before the game.
And although his team did make a purposeful start until Auxerre exerted more sustained pressure after 20 minutes, it was only in the second half that one seemed on its way. Though the fact it arrived at all is good enough for now.
Steven Gerrard's measured through ball should have been snapped at by Emile Heskey on six minutes only for the slightest hesitation to allow Jean-Alain Boumsong to win the first of many tussles with the striker.
Gerrard's availability in the midst of a three-match domestic suspension was a timely fillip, although Houllier's decision to drop Dietmar Hamann to the substitutes' bench as a consequence - and later to bring on Salif Diao into midfield - was a worrying development for the German.
Both Boumsong and his central defensive partner Philippe Mexes have attracted many admiring glances from major European clubs lately and here it was not hard to see why.
Houllier has admitted making an enquiry about the powerful, composed Boumsong before while Manchester United are in the hunt for the classier Mexes.
Another Liverpool bid could be in the pipeline this summer after the French club revealed they would sell Boumsong, Olivier Kapo and Khalilou Fadiga at the end of this season as they approach the final year of their contracts.
On this evidence he would represent a sound purchase, though it was the well-established pairing of Stephane Henchoz and Sami Hyypia that blossomed on a freezing night in France.
A promising start, however, was soon replaced by a pretty tedious fare.
The relaid Auxerre pitch didn't help matters to be fair. Only completed on the day of the game it gradually came apart in sections with every tackle.
But the home side did manage some neat, incisive moves once they adjusted to the surface to suggest they will be no pushovers at Anfield either even if they rarely threatened the goalkeeper.
It required an excellent penalty area challenge by El Hadji Diouf of all people to keep it that way as Fadiga shaped to shoot with Auxerre's first real threat, while Lionel Mathis should have done better than to volley well wide when the Senegal winger played him in behind Jamie Carragher in the box.
Finnish midfielder Teemu Tainio thought he should have had a penalty when his 20-yard drive appeared to hit Henchoz's hands as he protected his face but, not for the first time, the Swiss defender escaped what would have been a draconian decision.
At least such a dull, incident-lacking first half left plenty of room for improvement after the break and mercifully both sides made instant amends.
From a complete absence of chances one arrived for each side inside two minutes and the clearer by far, conjured out of nothing by Heskey, should have seen Liverpool take the lead on 56 minutes.
A textbook turn by the big striker left Boumsong for dead for the first time and sent Heskey through on goal. It was an ideal way to make amends for THAT miss against Crystal Palace in Liverpool's last ill-fated cup outing but, perhaps with that on his mind, he tried to go around the keeper and only succeeded in over-running the ball.
Seconds later Jerzy Dudek made the first of two fine low blocks when he tipped Mathis' angled effort away.
But it was Liverpool who were finding more accuracy and invention in their attacks as the contest wore on and a blistering two-minute spell inspired by Danny Murphy saw them grab the lead Houllier had wished for.
First the midfielder tested the Auxerre keeper with a curling 25-yard free-kick and then, from the second subsequent corner, almost caught Cool cold with a low cross that struck his unguarded near post.
It was a huge let-off for the French but Liverpool, and particularly Murphy, had more to come and with Auxerre failing to clear the midfielder threaded their defence with an inch-perfect pass to send Hyypia through.
A centre-half would not exactly be first choice to have in a one-on-one situation, but after taking one touch the skipper showed his strikers how it should be done with an immaculate finish.
Lone-striker Benjani would have restored parity in the 75th minute only for his slick turn and shot to be kept out by the flying Dudek and then Owen almost doubled Liverpool's lead when he tricked his way past two defenders only for Cool to smother the danger.
Auxerre inevitably pressed, but with only seconds remaining, Tainio blazed an inviting volley wide from eight yards out.
With four games in 11 days to make-or-break their season, Liverpool just could be on the mend.

Travelers to Southeast Asia in search of ancient ruins usually head to Siem Reap, the home of world-famous temple complex Angkor Wat. And although the majesty of this incredible site is hard to match, Vietnam holds its own secrets along its stretching coastline and within its lush forests.
Once a part of the ancient Kingdom of Champa — which stretched from Vietnam's coast and into modern day Cambodia and Laos — Vietnam's central region is home to ancient temple ruins that remain silent and crumbling relics to the country's past. From the well-traveled historic town of Hoi An to the charmingly remote Phan Rang, these ancient ruins remain largely off of the tourist trail, and are some of Vietnam's most intriguing cultural destinations of undiscovered allure.
My Son Temple Complex
Just 10 kilometers from historic Tra Kieu and an hour and a half drive from Hoi An ancient town stands one of Vietnam's largest collections of Cham ruins. Built between the 4th and 14th centuries by the ancient kings of Champa, these temples were constructed in dedication to the Hindu god Shiva, known locally as Bhadresvara. They are located within a valley that spans 2 kilometers, and its temples are flanked by the burial grounds of ancient Cham royalty and national heroes. What used to be an area of over 70 temples suffered some of the worst destruction during the war, with many of its structures destroyed by carpet bombing during a single week.
Regardless of its destruction, My Son complex remains one of the foremost Hindu temple complexes in southeast Asia, and is now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Given the lengthy span of time over which structures were constructed and renovated by Champa kings, My Son boasts an incredible diversity among its temples, and is evidence of nearly ten centuries of Champa architecture. Of the 7 artistic styles that Champa ruins have been classified, 6 are represented in My Son, and the central most structure known as "A1" is considered by art historians to be a masterpiece of Cham architecture.
Po Klong Garai Temple
Located on a hill overlooking modern day Phan Rang – Thap Cham, the Po Klong Garai temple is a collection of three Cham structures built in honor of Cham monarch King Po Klaung Garai. The legend of the god king is one of the most enduring tales in Cham culture, and follows the legend of the king who rose from poverty to eventually defend the Cham Kingdom from invading Khmer forces. After his reign as a king of astounding wisdom and power, King Po Klaung Garai is believed to have ascended to godhood as a protector of the people.
Constructed toward the end of the 13th century, the Po Klong Garai temples are still in relatively good structural shape in comparison to many Cham ruins, and continue to be an important religious centre for locals. Since its surrounding city of Phan Rang has one of the densest populations of Cham descendants — many of which still speak Cham as well as Vietnamese — Po Klong Garai temple hosts a yearly Cham religious ceremony called Kate Festival in November, when those who still follow ancient Cham traditions descend upon the hilltop temple to honor the king.
Po Nagar Temple
Just over the bridge from beach paradise Nha Trang, the Po Nagar temple is the religious heart of the coastal city. Perched high atop Cu Lao Mountain that overlooks the surrounding waters and fishing vessels, Po Nagar temple is in stunning condition, and continues to be a popular destination beyond the sand in Nha Trang. The temple is dedicated to its namesake goddess, Yan Po Nagar — or Thiên Y Thánh Mâu in Vietnamese — who is considered the goddess of the country and a fierce protector of the people. The central structure of the temple is the 1.2 meter tall statue of the goddess herself, holding with ten hands a variety of symbolic items.
Now an important site for prayer and religious observance for many faiths, Po Nagar Temple is still routinely visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike. The sweet smell of burning incense still wafts between the temple structures, and although a small market flanks the structure, most that travel here do so to take in the breathtaking beauty of these three towering historical monuments.
Po Shanu Temple
Located about 5 kilometers outside of Mui Ne, the Po Shanu Temples are one of the smallest collections, and have seen more destruction than many of their architectural cousins. Although the structure itself is not as arresting as its counterparts, the journey to Po Shanu Temple is worth it for the panoramic views of Phan Thiet and the East Sea. The temple itself dates back to the 9th century, and is dedicated to the princess Po Shanu, daughter of King Para Chanh and famous for her talent and virtue.
It was only in the late 90s that this temple structure was excavated, and had spent centuries buried and hidden away. The locale continues to be an important spot for prayer for many of the surrounding locals that observe ancient Cham traditions, and even continues to be a place where fisherman in surrounding towns come to pray for good passage. During Lunar New Year, this temple hosts two festivals, Rija Nuga Festival and Poh Mbang Yang Festival, which ask for good luck in the coming months.
Cham Po Dam (Po Tam) Temple Complex
Located at the foot of Ong Xiem Mountain and within the Phu Lac Commune, Cham Po Dam Temple complex used to have six standing structures. Now, three of these structures have collapsed, leaving three still standing that are an important relic to local history. Cham Po Dam temple complex was built in the 8th and 9th centuries in dedication to King Po Dam, who ruled over ancient Champa from 1433 to 1460 and built the famous irrigation systems that surround the city. Even today his legacy remains, as many of these irrigation systems are still used in modern day Tuy Phong and Bac Binh.
The temples at Po Dam complex are smaller and squatter than other Cham temples, and while most Cham temple doors face to the east, all six of the temples at Po Dam complex face the south. The design of the temples are also distinct not just from other temples, but also from each other, with the south three structures built with distinct artistic style from those located in the north part of the complex. The design differences draw from their religious groundings — the two sets of temples on either end of the complex are built with inspiration from different deities. The northern-most temples preserve a stunning blue stone altar that symbolizes Shiva.

You shouldn't be afraid of the stars. There's a new bird on my right shoulder. The beak is two feet and lime green. The rarest bird on earth, there's no feathers, but small grey scales all over the body. It's with one large red eye with a light blue iris. The bird feet are the same as a woodpecker. This new bird and there's only one, the gender is not female or male. The wings of this bird are beautiful; 3 feet wide with the shape of a bald eagle that you could die for. If you can see this bird then you will understand. You think this bird is able to chat about a government?
On a BBC Horizon documentary, The Mysterious Mr. Tesla, doctor Andrew Michrowski (the Planetary Association for Clean Energy) speculated that the Woodpecker could in fact be a Soviet mind-control transmitter, imposing on people's ability to think rationally and stay calm (original air date 20 December 1982).

In healthy people, blood pressure goes down at night. Studies from Europe and Asia suggest that high blood pressure at nighttime is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. In this project we will identify whether African Americans have a higher prevalence of nocturnal hypertension and non-dipping blood pressure, identify whether the association of risk factors including psychosocial factors and sleep disordered breathing with these phenotypes differ by race and determine the association of nocturnal hypertension and non-dipping blood pressure on target organ damage including left ventricular mass, impaired left ventricular function and a higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease. Additionally, we will estimate the US population burden of nocturnal hypertension and non-dipping blood pressure pattern. Finally, we will use simulation modelling to project the cost-effectiveness of screening for and treating nocturnal hypertension and non-dipping blood pressure.
The population project will be supported by these resources:
CARDIA was designed to investigate racial differences in the development of cardiovascular disease and serves as the foundation for the population project.
ActiveBP Columbia University's Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) Service will ensure high quality data for the population project with over 20 years of experience measuring, analyzing, and reporting data on ABPM.
Jackson Heart Study includes 5,301 African Americans and has extensive data on blood pressure phenotypes and cardiovascular disease outcomes.
REGARDS includes 30,239 participants and has longitudinal data on blood pressure, medication use, and cardiovascular and renal outcomes.

Here is a new image of Messier 27, done with my new set of Edmund dichroic cyan, magenta, and yellow imaging filters. An alternative to the traditional red, green, blue method, the CMY method has the advantage of allowing more than one color channel through the filter at once making imaging time less critical. At least, that is what it is touted for. This is my first CMY image, and it does appear to do just that. With the old RGB filters, it seemed all I could ever get was red/blue and the green channel was notoriously difficult to get signal with. There are very few, if any, green objects in space, so it would seem that the green color channel is a waste of exposure in many cases. The Cyan filter has both green and blue in its spectral wavelentghs, and in fact pulls in the entire OIII spectral line, which is missed by the old RGB method as this line lies between the blue and green filters.
These filters can be obtained from Edmund Optics and run about $68 dollars a set unmounted.
Yes, they are parfocal! However, I do not believe they block IR.
This image was done using my DSI Pro CCD that I normally use for guiding.

SOOOOO I am really lame this week. I took up all my time responding to you all individually so I don't have much time now.
RAIN AND STORMS. Thunder and lightning.
I love sleeping with blankets. :D TENDER MERCIES FALLING FROM THE SKYYY
Hearing Ni pray. She's been practicing so much on her own, you can tell she really means the words she says. You don't have to have a full understanding of the Gospel to be converted. She's beautiful. I am so grateful to be an instrument in helping teach those who don't know Christ. It really strengthens my testimony.
Interview with President Fife -- He is amazing. I know he's called and set apart for each of us individually, and the way he leads the mission is so inspiring. He practices everything he teaches us. I hope to be like him someday.
Exchanges with Sister Ahlstrom. She's the best thing ever. She's SOOO funny!!! She's from Sweden. Very sassy. I was worried to be her companion for the day but we got along SO well. It was one of my favorite exchanges ever because I learned how important it was to receive correction and act upon it. She's really good at giving constructive criticism where it's due and I can already see an improvement in just a week!!
I've been studying prayers of prophets and apostles and missionaries of the scriptures, as well as Christ's prayer. My favorites are probably 2 Nephi 4 and 3 Nephi 19. I've been trying to pray like them, and like the Bible Dictionary explains. It makes all the difference. I feel like my personal relationship with Heavenly Father has been strengthened and I've been able to turn to Him more naturally and a lot more frequently, just because of my inspiring studies. I love the gospel.
Hope you're all well.
I love you.

Cheese in the Trap actress Kim Go Eun chooses her real-life ideal type from her leading men
Cheese in the Trap viewers have been wavering between the two characters who both love Seol, forming Team Yoo Jung (Park Hae Jin) and Team Baek In Ho (Seo Kang Joon). But what does Kim Go Eun, who plays Seol, consider as her ideal type from the leading men in the hit romance drama? You may be surprised by what she says.
First of all, Kim Go Eun has only nice things to say about her two Cheese in the Trap leading men and their characters.
She said, "Hae Jin sunbae is very considerate and warm. He's the most veteran out of all of us so he was in a position where he could control the atmosphere on set. But the atmosphere was so good and I think that's due to him. Seo Kang Joon has a bit of a playful attitude. Both of them took very good care of me."
But for her own real-life ideal type, it turns out that the 25-year-old actress would pick neither Yoo Jung nor Baek In Ho.
She said, "Neither of them is my style."
She further explained, "I like Eun Taek. Eun Taek is very honest about his feelings. He likes Bora and follows her around. Even when she doesn't reciprocate and ignores him, he moves past it. I like that honesty."
Eun Taek has been in love with Seol's best friend Bora for the longest time, and he stays as a loyal and protective friend even when Bora has not accepted his romantic feelings.
(Just looks at where Eun Tak's eyes are always looking to!)
Are you surprised by her choice? Who wouldn't admire a man with an unabashed honesty and persistence to pursue his love, especially when he is also played by handsome rising star Nam Joo Hyuk?
Also, what do you think about Eun Taek finally making a decisive maneuver for Bora (Park Min Ji) to admit her true feelings in the recent episode 14?

Getting a hospital management degree is one of the best things you can do if you would like a career in healthcare. Honestly, there are not many jobs out there right now, but this career path truly will help you gain a position in a hospital or other healthcare organization. How many people have been laid off during the recession and are curious about what they should do next? Look no further, a Masters in Healthcare Administration degree will help you find a new job quickly.
The first thing you need to do is research every MHA degree program. Many of these programs can be done online from your home. The advantage of doing an online degree is that you still have the ability to work if you need to. If you do not need to work, then most of these programs get you in contact with other people in the field to help you find a job while you are pursuing school. After doing your research you need to decide on what type of degree you want, whether it is a residential or online program. Most residential programs are fulltime and do not allow you to work. In addition, something you should think about is whether the degree requires a test. If it does, then you will need to prepare yourself for the test to gain admission.
Next you need to take the proper steps to get admitted into one of these programs. You should develop a list of maybe 5 or 10 schools that you are interested in attending. Request information from those schools and begin your application. Most of the time these programs admit students in both the spring and the fall so that way you will have the option once you begin looking into these programs. Once you have your list of schools, you need to make sure that you focus on the requirements for each application. Create different folders for each school and keep all of the information for each program in the individual folder. That way when you are going to send out your application you will have all of the information in one place.
The next thing you need to do is simply wait. Often times admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis which means that you will get the decision in the order it was received. This can be a tough time for students because normally you do not have a job and you are not sure what will happen in the future. For now, I would suggest looking into volunteer programs at hospitals to help you understand more about how a hospital works. You can also send a letter to the individual schools telling them that you have gained a position in a local hospital or healthcare organization.
Once you have waited for the admissions decision, you will now start to see some decisions being made. However, while you are waiting you need to decide what program you would like to attend if you are admitted to the program. This can be tough, but the biggest thing you need to do is really evaluate each program individually. You should look at the reputation of the school, where people work that graduated from the school, and the courses that you need to finish to graduate. You also need to decide whether you want to be in an online program or a residential program.
Once you get into a school, you will notice that it is much easier to look for jobs. Just being in a Masters in Healthcare Administration program helps you be able to apply to very different jobs that you normally could not have applied to. Many students in degree programs do work while they are attending them as long as they are not fulltime.

Kabul: The US-led coalition says more than 40 insurgents have been killed in fighting over the past two days in southwestern and eastern Afghanistan.
The international coalition said on Thursday that more than 30 insurgents were killed during an ongoing operation in southwestern Helmand province. The operation in the still restive province started two days ago targeting narcotics and weapons trafficking. Opium poppies in Helmand are a main cash crop the Taliban use to fuel their insurgency.
The coalition says that in a separate incident more than 10 insurgents were killed on Wednesday near a coalition base in eastern Kunar province.
NATO is expecting an increase in violence as the traditional Afghan fighting season begins with spring.

Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) is also called ERBB2, HER-2,HER-2 /neu, NEU, NGL,TKR1 and c-erb B2,and is a protein giving higher aggressiveness in breast cancers. It is a member of the ErbB protein family, more commonly known as the epidermal growth factor receptor family. HER2 is a cell membrane surface-bound receptor tyrosine kinase and is normally involved in the signal transduction pathways leading to cell growth and differentiation. HER2 is thought to be an orphan receptor, with none of the EGF family of ligands able to activate it. Approximately 30% of breast cancers have an amplification of the HER2 gene or overexpression of its protein product. Overexpression of this receptor in breast cancer is associated with increased disease recurrence and worse prognosis. HER2 appears to play roles in development, cancer,communication at the neuromuscular junction andregulation of cell growth and differentiation.

Fluxus is an international art movement that started around 1960 in New York and Tokyo and simultaneously in the European cities Wiesbaden, Wuppertal, Copenhagen, Paris, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam, the Hague, London and Nice.
George Maciunas (1931-1978), an American artist of Lithuanian origin who coined the name "Fluxus", is considered the movement's founder. Originally the name of his art magazine project, it was used to describe the concerts, festivals, publications and multiples initiated by him worldwide. "Fluxus" is a Latin word meaning "flowing". Applied to the art movement, it describes a transition in which art flows into everyday life, and also refers to the impermanence of all objects.
The artists who practiced Fluxus over the years all worked on the fringes of music, fine art, literature and theatre, usually staging events deliberately bringing together very different areas of life. A divide between artist and audience was obligatory. The protagonists sometimes addressed political issues through their choice of subject matter - events like the Cuba Crisis, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King appear in their art, as do the Cold War in Europe, the division of Germany and the rise of the consumer society.
The way that Fluxus art transcended genres makes the artworks very diverse and divergent.
Some are the remains and traces of staged events never intended for a museum or exhibition context but represented here in the museum by smashed musical instruments, documents or paper flyers. However, the display also includes spoons, rubber stamps, cardboard sculptures and musical scores that were intentionally created as artworks in the usual sense. Audio and visual recordings of historical events provide an insight into bygone manifestations of this artform, often highly controversial at the time.
To make the diversity of Fluxus art more comprehensible to the viewer, the exhibition is largely composed of thematic groups. There are areas focusing on music/instruments, everyday objects in art and Fluxus concerts, to name but a few. The groupings are intended to make it easier for viewers to understand the different artistic statements.
There are, however, many challenges for those interested in the subject. Today, fleeting events, humorous investigations of thought and perception patterns and the hidden poetry of everyday events and objects remain the essence of Fluxus.

EXCLUSIVE: Gischler on "Wolverine: Revolver"
|"Wolverine: Revolver" one-shot on sale in June
You wouldn't think a simple thing like a revolver would be important to someone like Wolverine. His mutant healing factor and unbreakable adamantium skeleton means Logan has nothing to fear from a revolver filled with even the heaviest of bullet calibers, and his razor sharp claws mean that a gun is of little use to him as an offensive weapon.
But this June, Samuel Colt's 1836 invention will become very important to Wolverine in the Marvel Comics one-shot "Wolverine: Revolver," by writer Victor Gischler and artist Das Pastoras a.k.a. Julio Perez ("Wolverine: Switchback").
Gischler is best known as the author of several crime novels as well as his most recent work, the humorous, post-apocalyptic sci-fi yarn "Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse." "Revolver" marks his second comic collaboration with Marvel editor Axel Alonso, with whom he worked on last year's "Punisher MAX: Little Black Book" one-shot. It was Gischler's work on that book which lead to Alonso asking the writer if he'd like to try his hand at a Wolverine tale.
"There's only one answer to that. Hell, yes. I mean, we're talking Wolverine here," Gischler told CBR News. "I love Wolverine's very direct approach to problem solving. It's not that he's incapable of nuance. He just doesn't beat around the bush if there's no need to. Also, as a fellow short person, it's nice to see a 'runt' get his licks in. Wolverine has an animal cunning and temper that provides great material for a writer. I also love writing dialogue and narration in Logan's voice. I think if Philip Marlow were a bit more ill-tempered and had adamantium claws, he'd be Wolverine."
Gischler credits Alonso for helping him put together the plot of "Revolver." "He asked me to toss Wolverine ideas at him, and he has a very keen eye for what will work and what won't," the writer explained. "'Wolverine: Revolver' is actually a combination of a few different ideas I tossed at Axel. He pointed out different elements from each idea that he thought would work together. Axel is like a one-man how-to-write-for-Marvel university. I've learned a lot."
|Page from "Wolverine: Revolver"
When "Revolver" begins, Wolverine is a man on a mission. "If we were to go back before the first page of the issue, we'd see Logan hearing about something that gets under his skin. A job only he can do, and don't try to get in his way or stop him from doing it," Gischler explained. "The great thing about Logan is that he goes into every situation like this just overflowing with confidence. No hesitation–even if he knows it might hurt a little."
Logan's mysterious job in "Revolver" brings him to Las Vegas. "I remember hearing one time that they bet on the Super Bowl coin toss in Vegas. They bet on *everything* in Vegas," Gischler said. "So it was the perfect place to set the story– a crossroads of Russian mob crime, gambling and, well, other stuff."
In "Revolver" Wolverine is looking for a Roulette player, one who prefers the Russian version of the game. "I don't want to give too much away. Let's just say that wherever there's gambling, there's somebody looking for a way to cheat," Gischler said. "And these guys are betting on a game where they put a revolver to their heads."
"Revolver" begins with both feet firmly planted in the crime genre. "But one of the players definitely takes us beyond what we normally find in a crime story," Gischler explained. "The cover alone sort of indicates that."
Said cover features Wolverine and a monstrous bat-like creature. "Oh, he's just a member of the PTA with a bad Complexion," Gischler joked. "Ha, no, if we need Wolverine to take care of this guy, then you know he's dangerous. Looks like somebody is on the wrong plane of existence and ended up in Vegas."
"Revolver" kicks off with a tense and enigmatic tone. As the story progresses, things get fast and violent, with consequences that could prove devastating even for someone like Wolverine. "That healing ability can sort of undermine the reader's concern for his safety," Gischler said. "But I've tried to throw in a surprise or two to keep the reader turning pages, and I think we get a pretty good dose of action."
|Pages from "Wolverine: Revolver"
Gischler has been blown away by Das Pastoras's work on "Revolver." "I've seen some samples of the artwork so far, and you really have to stop and look twice," he said. "It catches your attention and doesn't look like anything else I've seen in comic books which I think is pretty damn cool. To be honest, Julio is the real star of the issue. I'm just happy I had the opportunity to write something that he could illustrate."
Working on "Wolverine: Revolver" proved to be a very enjoyable experience for Gischler and the author would love the chance to spend some more time with the title character. "I think a clever writer can do some good things with a one-shot, but I'd love to take a crack at a four or five-issue arc and really get more deeply into some character issues," the writer confessed. "And any opportunity I can get to stick those claws into somebody is always a treat."
