We have recently seen a slew of unofficial rumors and images leaking from the set of Iron Man 3, and while the speculation has been exciting, it's always better to get something official.
Today Marvel Studios is officially announcing the start of production on Iron Man 3, with a purposefully vague press release about what the film will be about and who is involved. The studio has also released the first official Iron Man 3 production image, which takes us on an armored trip down memory lane.
Marvel Studios does loves its cinematic continuity (and many fans love it too) - and it's in that spirit that this first Iron Man 3 production image acts as an echo of the first Iron Man 2 official image, released way back in April of 2009.
Check out the IM3 Hall of Armor production image (click for larger version):
Now check out the first IM2 image:
Of course the former is a set photo and the latter is a polished still from the film - but you get the connection. In the IM3 image we see the armors from all the preceding Iron Man films - and the one from The Avengers - which would constitute the Mark I - VII, for those keeping count.
(Not to nitpick - but just how did Tony Stark get the Mark I armor he designed in that cave into his armor hall? Last I remember, it had been shoddily reassembled in the stronghold of the Ten Rings terrorist organization, and left there to rust when Obidiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) double-crossed them. Ebay, maybe?)
Finally, check out what Marvel had to say - and conveniently did NOT say - about Iron Man 3 in their official press release:
Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios' release "Marvel's The Avengers," production on the highly anticipated film "Iron Man 3," directed by Shane Black, has commenced production in Wilmington, North Carolina. The production schedule will also include locations in Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina, Miami, Florida and China.
Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1963, "Iron Man 3" returns Robert Downey Jr. ("Iron Man," "Marvel's The Avengers") as the iconic Super Hero character Tony Stark/Iron Man along with Gwyneth Paltrow ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2,") as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle ("Iron Man 2") as James "Rhodey" Rhodes and Jon Favreau ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") as Happy Hogan. Set for release in the U.S. on May 3, 2013, Marvel's "Iron Man 3" marks the second feature to be fully owned, marketed and distributed by Disney, which acquired Marvel in 2009.
"Iron Man 3" continues the epic, big-screen adventures of the world's favorite billionaire inventor/Super Hero, Tony Stark aka "Iron Man." Marvel Studios' President Kevin Feige is producing the film. Executive producers on the project include Jon Favreau, Louis D'Esposito, Alan Fine, Stan Lee, Charles Newirth, Victoria Alonso, Stephen Broussard and Dan Mintz.
The rest of the press release pretty much recounts the entire history of Marvel Studios' accomplishments at the box office, and tells us NOTHING about the actual plot of Iron Man 3. They don't even mention the ensemble of actors that have been added to the franchise (see below), or the general "Tony Stark combats a tech-terrorist threat" storyline we already know to be the premise. We basically learn here that Downey Jr., Paltrow, Favreau (as a character, not director) are all back, and that Tony Stark will have more 'epic big-screen adventures' that are now fully-funded by Disney. Yay.
For a more detailed breakdown of what is known about the film so far - beyond what Marvel is saying - check out this list of prior articles:
- Ben Kingsley is playing a villain role that is rumored to be The Mandarin (a background mastermind-type villain).
- Guy Pearce is playing Aldrich Killian, a geneticist who creates a nanotech weapon that transforms humans into cyborgs.
- Andy Lau is playing a scientist who aids Tony Stark.
- Rebecca Hall (The Town) is the frontrunner to play a former science colleague of Tony's who works with nanotechnology.
- James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton will likely play henchman villains transformed into cyborgs (or some kind of tech-threat).
- An armor design has been spotted on set, which suggests that either The Iron Patriot or Detriot Steel will be in the film.
Stay tuned as more Iron Man 3 news continues to unfold, as the threequel moves through production to make its May 3, 2013 release date.

Although there's talk about the situation being much better and stabilizing, we jump every time an unexpected letter is put on our desks, thinking we're being terminated. Experienced, well-qualified teachers are working without contracts, being kept on as casual part-timers. It seems that only the smaller schools are advertising, and only then for casual part-timers. If a contract comes up, it only makes sense to give it to a well-qualified, experienced teacher who has perhaps proven themselves for the past 2 or 3 years as a casual employee rather than take an unknown from outside the company. An outsider's qualifications and experience would have to be really something to compete. Basically, expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised when something comes your way.

Oh well, there's still a lot of places I would love to teach, and I'd only return to NZ out of a sense of duty to the family, although as I type, I realise I could really do with some of that fresh alpine air at the moment.

Ah, now that seems to work. After cold boot, it worked after two resets for me. Is it related to the ICD driver?

ATLANTA, GA – The York College baseball team opened their 2011 season with a split during the first day of the Emory University Rawlings Southern Classic in Atlanta, Georgia. The Spartans began the day with a 13-4 win over Denison University before falling to the host Eagles 8-4 in the nightcap. The Spartans are now 1-1 while Denison is 0-1 and Emory is 2-1.
In the opener against the Big Red, the Spartans got the season off to a good start with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. Senior Kyle Cook reached on a throwing error with one out. Cook stole second and scored on a Steve Tretter single up the middle. Sophomore Justin Cohen then singled to put runners at first and second. Tretter was nabbed trying to steal second but Cohen scored when senior CT Stanley doubled to deep right as the Spartans took the early 2-0 lead.
York tacked on two more in the second as junior Dustin Worthman had an RBI ground out and Cook had an RBI single as the Spartans took a 4-0 lead.
The Big Red reached Spartan starter Andy Rosenzweig for a trio of runs in the fourth but the Green and White aided the Denison rally with an error that led to two of the three runs being unearned.
York erupted for seven runs in the bottom of the fifth to put the game out of reach. Cohen had an RBI double in the inning while Rob Klinck, Devin Harbold, and Cook each had RBIs in the frame.
York added two more tallies in the sixth as Adam Hegedus had an RBI pinch-hit single while Sean McCann also had a run-scoring single for the Spartans.
Rosenzweig threw six solid innings to pick up the win for the Spartans. He allowed three runs, one earned, on eight hits with four strikeouts and just one walk as he picked up his 17th career win. Brian Lusby tossed a perfect seventh inning while Bryan Palumbo made his Spartan debut a successful one as he tossed two scoreless innings, allowing a hit with two strikeouts for York.
Tyler Vaske absorbed the loss as he allowed 11 runs, five earned, on 10 hits with three strikeouts and three walks in 4.2 innings. Freddy Marino came out of the pen and allowed a pair of runs on three hits with two strikeouts and three walks in his 3.1 inning stint.
Cook paced the Spartan offense with three hits, two RBI and two runs scored in his four at-bats. Cohen, Klinck and McCann each added a pair of hits to the 13-hit Spartan attack. Klinck also drove in a run and scored three others.
Evan Nicholson, Justin Vaske, and Andrew Mahle each recorded two hits to lead the Denison offense.
Against Emory, the Spartans got off to another quick start with two runs in the bottom of the first. Cook singled and moved to third on a Cohen single. Stanley plated both Cook and Cohen with a double to deep left center, giving York the early advantage.
The Eagles scored one in the third and three in the fourth to take the 4-2 lead. Emory then grew the lead to 6-2 with a two-spot in the fifth. York responded with two runs of their own in the bottom of the fifth. The Green and White loaded the bases with one out and scored their first run on an RBI ground out by Cohen and Stanley trimmed the Spartan deficit to 6-4 with an RBI single. The Spartans wouldn't be able to get any more in the inning as they left two runners stranded in the frame.
The Eagles tacked on a pair of big insurance runs in the top of the sixth as they increased the lead to 8-4. The Spartans got two hits in the final three innings but both York base runners were erased on ground ball double plays by the next hitter.
Chris Monaco earned the win to improve to 2-0 as he tossed six innings, allowing four runs on five hits with one walk. Matt McMahon earned the save as he threw the final three innings, allowing two Spartan hits.
Sophomore Joey Couch took the loss as he allowed six runs on eight hits with two strikeouts and two walks. Freshman David Walker made his collegiate debut and allowed two runs, one earned, on four hits in his 2.2 innings of work. He struck out three and walked one during his stint. Sophomore Josh Kohn threw the final 1.1 innings as he allowed two walks in his outing.
Jonathan Reilly and Brandon Hannon led the Emory offense with three hits each. Reilly added two runs and two RBI while Hannon had one run scored and one RBI. Jared Welch was 1-for-3 with a run scored and a pair of RBI.
Stanley continued his strong day with three hits and three RBI. Cook added two hits and two runs scored as the duo combined for five of York's seven hits in the loss. Cohen had a single, an RBI and a run scored while Worthman had York's other hit.
The Spartans return to action on Saturday when they face Denison at 2:00 pm in the second day of the Classic.

BLM to burn slash piles southwest of Granby
GRANBY – The Bureau of Land Management Kremmling Field Office is planning to burn slash piles of lodgepole pine from Jan. 22 through Feb. 28 if weather conditions remain favorable.
One of the conditions required is 3 inches of snow on the ground to keep the fire from spreading beyond the piles, BLM officials said.
The slash piles are on public land three miles southwest of Granby in the Reed Creek area.
Fire personnel are planning to burn a total of 41 mechanically built slash piles resulting from an ongoing timber salvage project when weather conditions allow. The project area covers 106 acres.
Smoke and flames may be visible from the burning piles. Burn plans have been prepared and approved, and ignition will only take place if weather and ground conditions are within specifically determined parameters that allow for safe and efficient operations. Smoke permits from the Colorado State Air Pollution Division are in place, according to the BLM.
The objective of burning the slash piles is to remove the flammable debris and lower the risk of catastrophic wildland fire. Contact Kevin Thompson Fire Management Specialist at 970-724-3033 for more information.

Preview: DC Universe Online
Pages 1 2 3 4 NEXT
SOE might actually pull off this action MMO hybrid.
Yeah. This game looks incredible. I'll definitely be trying it when it's released.
Sounds fun I'm going to check it out.
Thanks Greg!
I must admit the combat system makes me interested. Good review...
Oh yeah. I'm getting this game.
it plays like Vindictus! WOOOOOO
move over SW:TOR, DCUO is my next paid MMO! :3
I can say myself. It is absolutely awesome. Nothing is more awesome as running into The Flash in Gotham... then nothing is more Horrifying when you remember you are a villian and your flying backwards after Flash punches you in the face. Ahhh... Good times.
Demo is a lot of fun. Could use some bigger txt boxes and a better lock on system w/ strafe. I keep locking on bad guys and shooting behind me at nothing. It's bad that I have to lean forward to read some of the txt boxes and I'm playing on a big scrn can't imagine how they look on a small TV
Damn those people who got into demo! Damn them!
This is the only game besides TOR that looks like I might be willing to pay for on a monthly base. Why can't we just give the Flash a lightsaber and call it a day?
Mmmm sorry but I am still not convince (I was put off from seeing that Scarecrow demo months ago) but I dunno, from the video it still look interesting (I hope they give it open play weekend to the public)
Looks great, and I'm happy to hear the PS3 buttons work well for combat. I hope the controller works well for the rest of the game too.
I've enjoyed the time I've spent on the beta. I love doing the races.
Interesting how a game can go from looking like a coded turd in nearly all aspects to looking... well... interesting. Could it really be that all it previously lacked was polish...?
if i get a better machine till then, that might cure me from my "all mmo's get boring after 2 weeks" syndrome.....do i want that?
Yeah it sounds pretty cool, but as I've said many times before I can't stand the thought of paying for the exact same game multiple times, even if the price isn't as high after the first time.
Well now I have to get this game.
It's good. There's still some things to fix in it, but going against Scarecrow as Bats aide is as good as taking him on in Arkham Asylum, and there's little that can top that.
If you liked CoH, get it. It's not quite as good someways, but it's better in others. The main problem you'll get is a blister from the mouse/joypad.
I'm so stoked for this game after the failure that Champions Online was.
Did I see 10 mouse icons on the screen for clicking 10 times for the arial attack? Were you playing the beta on a PC?
If so, then it will be hard to generalize its performance and playability on the PS3.
Still, it looks hot, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it regardless.
Played the beta, it totally sucks. You can't use your powers without building up energy through complex combat manuevers, even non-combat powers liek stealth. You have to be a brawler no matter what our powertype, even mentalists or gadgeteers. Repetative missions, limited customizability. Bad bad bad.
Damn, this game is making me consider cheating on my beloved City of Heroes :S
By the article, he played on both. It's worth mentioning that it's a lot easier to save footage of a pc game than console.
Until now I've been steadfast against subscripts, but the articles a few weeks back regarding cumulative value of games (in short, subscript is the cheaper method hands down) and my great love of comic heroes and beat 'em ups has lead me to really, really want this game. Getting for PS3, see y'all there.
maybe you did it wrong Pugiron. All the videos I've seen had stealth work fine without combat. Also on the customization ability, there's releases saying the starter stuff is a small portion, the vast majority of content is earned.
This is the first mmo that got me interested in a long long time.
If Sony invites a reviewer over for a preview and just lets him play it on the PC, albeit occasionally using the dual shock for some things (the entire video looked like it was mouse and keyboard), that may be cause to worry about the PS3 version.
And yes. Purgiron did it wrong. You start with a full power bar, and stealth is (almost) free. And you get enough power to use most abilities in 1-3 punches. And if you have a Controller in the party they're constantly feeding you energy with their attacks. Besides. Name ONE DC hero that does nothing but spam powers. Every DC hero goes brawl-mode constantly.
Beyond criticizing Purgion, I'd like to say that I -love- the game. From the combat system to the awesome costumes you can get. (Raven costume = <3<3<3<3<3. Even if it does take a ton of farming to get XD) My only real complaint about it is how... hokey. the entirety of Metropolis feels. Oh well. Gotham is amazing and thats good enough for me.
Well I was already quite excited about this game. I've never been into MMOs (partially because of the fees), but this, Guild Wars 2, and STOR have really piqued my interest. I'm a big superhero fan, and this preview has really got me excited. Though I was pumped for Star Trek Online and sorely disappointed.
I won't be waiting in line on launch day, but I may just give it a try after the bugs have been ironed out.
Really looking forward to this game. Cannot wait!
Do I want another MMO in my life?!? Well the answer is yes, the question is is DCUO going to be that one // Well from the looks of this it's a maybe. . .
Relieved to hear it. I loved the initial concept, and the trailer sold me, but I was worried because I had never warned up to the standard MMO engine. I will definitely be picking this one up.
hey look, city of heroes!
Played the PS3 Beta a bit and it seems a bit of a mess, kind of.
I can't read anything on the screen. Nothing. I have no idea what my skills are, i just click them and hope they're good. I can't see the chat, I can't see the UI, I don't even know what stats I'm actually increasing when I equip stuff, all I know is that it's all bright green so it's an improvement of what I had. I assume this is due to it being made specifically, and apparently only, for an HD TV. There may be a way to fix this, but I can't entirely find it if there is.
The game also, last night, froze my PS3 4, almost 5 (one of the times it actually fixed its self after 5 seconds or so, so that was good) times before I quit. Although my co-worker who also has it hasn't had any issue with freezing so I'm quite confused on that one.
It's also a tiny bit laggy in certain situations but I blame Sony's servers on that one more than anything else.
So. While I find it ridiculously fun it's near impossible to play for me right now. Not being able to read anything + constant freezing of my console = not playable.
But, hopefully the beta is actually taken as a beta and this stuff is fixed. I'd like to see it fixed prior to the beta ending so I know they did it. Not entirely worth paying for if I can't play it heh.
City of heroes with every stupid mechanic removed. Like the atrocious hit rate at low levels. And the fact that you can change your costume at whim, not just 3 set costumes. And actual gear. And cool skills. And Batman.
That's the thing with the PC version, it's not really suitable to play with a mouse. I tried it and its just not a fun experience. Switching to a gamepad controller makes things much more fun. I'm disappointed such an option was not pointed out in this review because the mouse and keyboard controls are what people seem to complain about and is definitely not what you should be highlighting. That 9 click combo is nothing if you're using a gamepad because usually by the time you hit 9 basic attacks on a target its dead and you can use that ability to move smoothly into the next target.
I'm in the beta and I love it. Initial customization could be better, but it makes up for it by allowing you to upgrade and customize your hero/villain's costume through world drops and mission rewards. It's a very refreshing change from games like WoW where your character's look is dictated by whatever armor you're wearing.
Leveling is great because each level you're rewarded with some kind of character skill improvement that opens up new combos and abilities to play with. The combat is fun, there's no other way to put it. (there's a sadistic glee in steamrolling henchmen and cops with kick ass combos)
Hey look, someone to shortsighted to see when someone builds and betters an existing concept and must make a sad attempt at discrediting it by pointing out it's similar to something else! Seriously grow up dude, city of heroes was a nice game but it lacked alot. It gets credit for breaking ground on the super hero mmo genre but games like champions online and now DC online have taken that idea and improved on it.
I've played both CoH and Champions; and after the initial customization of characters both games lose their flare after a few hours. Not to mention since both games are not built upon existing IP (well Champions was supposed to be Marvel Online I hear) they throw wall upon wall of lore and background at the player every mission. Aside from just the base stories you're given for each area their deeper stories just seem neigh impenetrable without sitting down for a few hours and combing through everything the developers have thrown at you.
All three have the same flaw that irks me to no end;the soundtrack. Cripes people is it to hard to ask for a "loop music" button on our audio menu? It sucks so much life out of the game. The soundtrack for an MMO is one of the most crucial pieces. It sets the mood for areas, gives the player a frame of mind for their emotions. Don't give me music that plays for the first minute or two in an area and then vanishes, I want it to continue so I can be fooled into believing the world is alive and get further immersed into the world presented to me. DC online is still in beta so the area soundtracks stopping may just be a glitch or something not yet fully implemented so they've got time to fix such an egregious flaw in their game.
In final summation; DC Universe Online kicks 9 kinds of ass in my book and I look forward to continuing my reign of terror as the villainous Professor Metric Chaos when the game goes live.
It's completely unreadable on a non HD tv but must upgrading (Thank Goodness) is color coded so that isn't impossible but knowing what anything actually is or does would be hard pressed without an external guide.
Luckily I could switch the PS3 to the HD downstairs. (The situation is complecated if your wondering why it isn't always there.)

Alright, you sinners. Last week's confessional was ... adequate. I still feel that you are holding back, and you cannot purify your gaming soul unless you make a full accounting of all your trespasses. So we're going to have another round of punishment today, starring Dark Souls.
This is 10 minutes (entirely in Japanese) of a woman playing the Demon's Souls successor and dying repeatedly (seen via Game Informer). Should you find this footage compelling there are two more videos. You only have to watch this one though. Play it, then in the comments tell us how long you lasted before you hit stop or mute, and confess your gaming sins.
Here's mine: I lasted 1:46, and I once ragequit a game of MLB Stickball against a human opponent when I lost the no-hitter in the fourth inning.
I'm not saying punishment will be back next week, but depending upon the quality of your contrition, I'm not saying it won't, either.

The future of the London Excel motorhome and caravan show has been thrown into doubt after a new Birmingham show was confirmed by the same organizers, according to Outandaboutlive.
Despite the National Caravan Council (NCC) stating just days ago that next year's London Excel show will go ahead, today (March 9) it has emerged that the future of the show is now in question.
NCC Events, the body that organized both last October's Birmingham NEC motorhome and caravan show and this February's new London Excel show, confirmed yesterday that it will stage yet another motorhome and caravan show next February – this time back at Birmingham's NEC. This means there are now currently two shows planned by the industry for next February – one in London at the Excel arena and one in Birmingham.
NCC, of which NCC Events is a subsidiary, told Outandaboutlive that the future of the Excel show is still undecided. NCC has surveyed its members and those who exhibited and attended London's February show, and is waiting for the results of the survey before deciding on whether the 2013 London show will go ahead.
However, it is unlikely the industry will vote to stage a regional show in London after it has just secured its previous – and very successful – Birmingham venue back after just a year's absence.
The Birmingham show next February is also being marketed as a regional show called the Spring Caravan & Camping Show. It will run from Feb. 19-24 at the NEC. NCC Events said the Excel London is still planned to go ahead from February 12-17.

Maybe it's the hot sun from the long weekend, but we're hearing all sorts of rumors of convertible action coming from the land of the rising sun. The folks at the line that's always on the inside over at Edmunds are claiming Nissan's looking at green-lighting an Altima convertible to roll against the Toyota Solara and the Chrysler Sebring. But the budget brands aren't the only place we're hearing of an automaker from Japan with rumors of shining sunshine. ToMoCo's Lexus brand's got the folks at Nihoncar all in a tizzy. Specifically, they've hipped us to the rumors from the Japanese magazine "Car-Top" that the Lexus IS could be adding a drop-top to its IS lineup to challenge the BMW 3-series and the Mercedes C-Class. We've no idea if either rumor's true, but we do agree with our Nihoncar buddy G-A, who says
"...we all know how it goes nowadays in the automotive industry, there is no time to waste with false informations."
Ain't that the truth?

As an increasing number of Americans live into their 80s and 90s, many families are struggling to find ways to make retirement dollars — that were once supposed to support seniors for years — now stretch over decades.
More and more, families have to care for the very elderly, as well as look after children who might be college grads but haven't found a job in a difficult economy.
All this requires one very important thing: lots of money.
Psychologists and other researchers have spent decades studying why some people are better than others at saving money, so they can address such needs later in life.
In the early 1970s, researchers conducted a marshmallow experiment, where they had young children sit before a table. The researchers placed a marshmallow on the table and told each child that she could eat it — but that if she waited 15 minutes, she could have two marshmallows.
Over the years that followed, researchers found that children who were able to hold off eating the marshmallow — who delayed gratification — did better at school. Other researchers identified brain differences between people who were impulsive and those who had more self-control.
Much of the research into self-control has been focused on documenting which people have it and why. But new research is trying to find whether there are ways to boost self-control among young people, especially when it comes to financial matters and making responsible long-term decisions, such as saving for retirement or nursing care late in life.
While brain biology plays a strong role in shaping temperament, some new studies have found that social factors make a difference in whether people become spenders or savers. Chief among them: the role of parents.
"We found that parents played a really big role in the kinds of behaviors that their children exhibited," said Joyce Serido, a researcher at the University of Arizona, Tucson. "So, those kids who said they spoke with their parents about financial matters actually performed more responsible financial behaviors."
Serido said that she and her colleagues interviewed large numbers of freshmen entering the university and documented different aspects of their family lives. Young people who reported their families had included them in conversations about money and budgets — who, for example, roped children into discussions about what kind of car the family could afford — were much more likely to make more responsible financial decisions as it came time for them to graduate from college.
Many of these students, Serido said, were using a budget, making tough choices between different wants, and saving money. She said the difference was not explained by socio-economic differences — children from well-to-do families did not save more than children from poorer families. Rather, she said, patterns of family dynamics tended to predict which kids developed strong saving habits.
Besides talking with kids about money, Serido said she would advise parents to communicate their expectations to their children — to say they expected a young person would save some portion of their allowance, for example.
So why do such conversations happen rarely when they are so important? Serido said it may be as difficult to talk to kids about bills and bonds as it often is to talk about the birds and the bees.
"The first couple of times you talk with your child about money or savings, or you talk with a parent about their health or what are they going to do with the house long-term, yeah, it's scary and uncomfortable," she said. "And let's face it, it's scary and uncomfortable because sometimes we don't want to think about it ourselves."
And as we've seen throughout this series, many families struggle with confronting hard questions about the future.
To talk about the psychology behind how people think about planning for the future, we turn to NPR science correspondent Shankar Vedantam. Good morning.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Hi, Renee.
MONTAGNE: Well, let's start with why it can be so hard to plan for the future.
VEDANTAM: Well, I mean, there's actually several decades of research into this. Back in the early '70s, researchers conducted this humorous experiment called the marshmallow experiment, where they sat these several small children before a table and they put a marshmallow before them. And they said if you don't eat the marshmallow for 15 minutes, I'll give you two marshmallows. What was really fascinating was when the researchers followed these children out into young adulthood and further out, it turned out that their turnout in the marshmallow test predicted all kinds of other things. It predicted how well they did on their SAT scores, how well they did in their careers, even predicted some of that propensity for addictions.
MONTAGNE: I'm guessing that those who ate the marshmallow without looking to the future were the ones who had problems in all of those areas.
VEDANTAM: Exactly. So, it was a measure of impulsivity. You know, how impulsive are you when you have a temptation before you and how well are you able to defer or delay gratification.
MONTAGNE: So, you're saying marshmallow tests could actually predict whether someone would, say, become an alcoholic?
VEDANTAM: Well, I think what the test was really measuring, it was measuring some element of temperament. And in more recent years, there's been a lot of brain science, neuroscience, which has found there are actually brain differences between people who are better to delay gratification and those who don't. What's optimistic is that there's been research that finds that there are factors that are within people's control that influence whether they become spenders or savers. And it's not just about your brain chemistry, it's actually how you're raised. I spoke with this researcher whose name is Joyce Serido. She's at the University of Arizona. And she said that one factor above all others stands out.
JOYCE SERIDO: Parents played a really big role in the kinds of behaviors that their children exhibited. So, those kids who said that they spoke with their parents about financial matters, actually performed more responsible financial behaviors.
VEDANTAM: So, what Serido found was that children who were included in family discussions about budgets - you know, you're buying a car and you bring the kids in to talk about how much car can we afford, what are the tradeoffs - these are the kids that Serido found, three years into college, are making a budget of their own. They're making hard choices. They're actually saving money.
MONTAGNE: So, that's training.
VEDANTAM: It is training.
MONTAGNE: And can that overcome brain chemistry?
VEDANTAM: Well, I don't think the two of them ever rule one another out. I think there is such a thing as brain biology and the brain biology is going to be what it is. But I think nurture and training, you know, sits on top of brain chemistry. And what this new research is suggesting is that the right kind of parenting - not just talking with your kids, but also communicating your expectations to kids - you know, I'm giving you an allowance but I expect that you're going to save 10 percent of it seems to be playing a role. And it's interesting, given the last story we just heard about David and his grandma Snootzie, a lot of young people find a closer kinship to their grandparents when it comes to financial matters than they do to their parents.
MONTAGNE: Because?
VEDANTAM: Well, one possibility is that, you know, kids graduating from college today, they're coming into a recession, unemployment is high, and in many ways that reflects better the world that their grandparents and their great-grandparents grew up rather than the world that their parents grew up in. So, that might be why they find a greater connection with some of the older generations in their families.
MONTAGNE: Shankar, thank you very much.
VEDANTAM: Thank you, Renee.

Seal materials
Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber
- most mineral oils and greases with a mineral oil base
- normal fuels, such as petrol, diesel and light heating oils
- animal and vegetable oils and fats
- hot water
Fluoro rubber
Safety precautions for fluoro rubber
Fluoro rubber (FKM) is very stable and harmless up to normal operating temperatures of 200 °C (390 °F). However, if exposed to temperatures above 300 °C (570 °F), such as fire or the open flame of a cutting torch, FKM seals give off hazardous fumes. These fumes can be harmful if inhaled, as well as if they contact the eyes. In addition, once the seals have been heated to such temperatures, they are dangerous to handle even after they have cooled. Therefore, they should never come in contact with the skin.
If it is necessary to handle bearings with seals that have been subjected to high temperatures, such as when dismounting the bearing, the following safety precautions should be observed:
- Always wear protective goggles, gloves and an appropriate breathing apparatus.
- Place all of the remains of the seals in an airtight plastic container marked with a symbol for "material will etch".
- Follow the safety precautions in the appropriate material safety data sheet (MSDS).
If there is contact with the seals, wash hands with soap and plenty of water and, if contact has been made with the eyes, flush the eyes with plenty of water and consult a doctor immediately. If the fumes have been inhaled, consult a doctor immediately.
The user is responsible for the correct use of the product during its service life and its proper disposal. SKF takes no responsibility for the improper handling of FKM seals, or for any injury resulting from their use.

Our handbook provides information and guidance about school policies, procedures, and programs. The link to download the full document for your perusal offline is located on the right link bar.
The faculty and administrators of Ankara Elementary / High School want to provide the best education possible for your child. In order to ensure the academic success of your child, cooperation in encouraging regular attendance is essential. Please be aware that another critical purpose of this policy is to provide a safe educational environment for our students. Parents and guardians are required to call the school to report their child's absence. Calls should be made to the office at the beginning of the school day between 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at (312) 287-2532.
Parents must sign their Ankara Elementary / High School Student in or out through the main office when transporting their student on and off school property. Students who have legitimate reasons to leave school after the school day has started must be signed out in the main office. Parental approval must be obtained prior to signing out either through the presentation of a note or by telephonic contact. This rule applies to all students who will miss any class time. Any student older than 18 years of age must also comply with this rule.
A student's appearance must be appropriate for normal classroom instruction. Students who do not conform to this Dress Code will receive appropriate consequences and parents will be informed. Students' attire should not be a distraction to the normal educational process of the school. Dress should be in accordance with the Student/Parent Handbook. The link to download the full document for your perusal offline is located on the right link bar.
Ankara Elementary / High School's Discipline Policy is based on compliance with DODEA Regulation 2051.1. This regulation, Department of Defense Education Activity Disciplinary Rules and Procedures, is available in the principal's office.
Discipline will be maintained at a high level, which will result in (1) maximum growth of the student in self‐control; (2) high regard for fellow members of the student body; and (3) pride in the school as a part of the community.
Principals have an obligation to keep the responsible military authorities informed of serious or repeated misbehavior when it is apparent such actions negatively impact the American reputation and position overseas. Principals also cooperate with the responsible military and community authorities providing requested information related to discipline and other issues.
The teacher is responsible for maintaining a classroom environment which best fosters the development of positive, self‐directed behavior. Each teacher enforces a classroom management plan approved by the administration. Students are given a copy of this plan within the first week of school. Plans are designed to encourage appropriate behavior and to involve parents in the disciplinary process for routine matters. When preventive measures, including teacher‐student conference and parental notification, have been unsuccessful and inappropriate behavior persists, teachers will refer the student to the administration for appropriate action.
Individual classroom teachers may develop more specific rules for students. Teachers may assign after school detention with a 24 hour notice.
When students do not adhere to the school or classroom rules, appropriate action will be taken to ensure that a positive learning environment exists for all students in the school. The school rules are in effect at all events sponsored by Bahrain Middle/High School to include after school and off campus.
To focus on academic and social growth, we use progressive steps in discipline matters when the learning environment or peaceful nature of the school environment is disrupted.
The Acceptable User Policy is included in the Registration Packet and must be signed by the student and the sponsor prior to student use of any computer in the school. Violation of this policy may result in the temporary or permanent loss of computer privileges. Loss of computer privileges does not excuse a student from work required on the computer. Instead it requires them to accomplish said work outside of school.
We use video surveillance equipment at the entrances of the school.
A student who withdraws from school with PCS orders within twenty (20) days of the end of a semester may be placed on an acceleration program that allows the student to earn full academic credit for the semester. The request for the acceleration program must be made through the principal's office at least thirty (30) days prior to the student's proposed withdrawal date. Teachers will provide additional assignments and assessment opportunities to cover the instructional time lost by the student's early departure. The completion of a semester examination may be required by the teacher. Please speak with counselors to obtain the earliest date for an acceleration program for the current school year. Classes in which the student is currently failing are not normally approved for acceleration. Acceleration programs are provided only in the case of PCS moves.

Biologist says Iowa's pheasant numbers likely down
June 21, 2013 at 11:19 AM
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Department of Natural Resources biologist says Iowa's pheasant population likely will decline this year because of the cool and wet spring.
DNR upland wildlife biologist Todd Bogenschutz says Iowa's pheasant population usually increases after mild winters and dry, warm springs. This year, a snowy winter was followed by record-setting cold temperatures and rain.
Because of those conditions, Bogenschutz says the pheasant population will likely be smaller than in 2012.
Habitat also has been an issue for the pheasant population, as high commodity prices lead more farmers to grow crops rather than set aside land for wildlife under the federal Conservation Reserve Program.
But Bogenschutz says Iowa has made progress in creating more habitat for pheasants through an effort to set aside 50,000 acres of land to aid the birds.

The Boston Bruins let a 3-1 third period lead slip through their fingers last night in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals, as the Chicago Blackhawks roared back to win 4-3 in the third overtime. In honor of this epic overtime playoff showdown, let's take a look at the greatest overtime playoff games in NFL history.
Too soon: 2012 AFC Divisional Playoff Game
In an effort to avoid the hyperbole and the instant gratification prevalent throughout the internet, let's give this one a year before we give it a proper ranking. I have a feeling this one will crack the top six when you think about the improbable bomb from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones and the Ravens' run in the playoffs. But let's hold back for right now.
Considered: 2011 AFC Wild Card Game
Tim Tebow is likely out of the league after a handful of seasons, but he did engineer a playoff victory for the Broncos. In fact, he has more playoff victories for the Broncos than Peyton Manning. And instead of throwing the game-crippling interception, Tebow actually threw a walk-off touchdown to Demaryius Thomas.
Considered: 2007 NFC Championship Game
This game was supposed to be the perfect sendoff for what many thought would be Brett Favre's final season in the NFL. The Packers were playing host to the New York Giants, and Favre was supposed to guide his team to one last title. But in the end, it really turned out to be the perfect sendoff for Favre's career in Green Bay only -- tossing the game-crippling interception in the big game like he had always done in years past.
Considered: 2009 NFC Wild Card Game
Kurt Warner's performance (379 yards passing, five touchdowns) might be the greatest ever in a postseason game, and he almost lost. The Cardinals stormed out to a huge lead, but Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers rallied Green Bay with 21 fourth-quarter points to force overtime. And when the Packers won the opening toss in overtime, it was easy to think that the Cardinals were about to fold in this one. But Karlos Dansby picked up Rodgers' fumble and raced 17-yards for a touchdown to seal the Packers' fate.
Considered: 2009 NFC Championship Game
Stop me if you have heard this one before: Brett Favre throws an interception to end his team's hopes of going to the Super Bowl. This time, it was Favre breaking the hearts of Minnesota Vikings fans as his desperation pass late in regulation was intercepted by the Saints to force overtime. The Saints won the toss and drove down into Vikings territory to set up Garrett Hartley's 40-yard field goal to send New Orleans to its first Super Bowl.
6. 1971 AFC Divisional Playoff Game
The Chiefs and Dolphins played in the longest game in NFL history on Christmas Day in 1971. This game went into double-overtime and lasted 82 minutes and 40 seconds before Garo Yepremian won the game for the Dolphins with a 37-yard field goal, 27-24. The Dolphins beat the Baltimore Colts, 21-0, in the AFC Championship Game before losing to Dallas, 24-3, in Super Bowl VI.
5. 1998 NFC Championship Game
Many fans were clamoring for a Super Bowl matchup between the defending champion Broncos and the 15-1 Vikings. And many figured that was the game we were going to get when Gary Anderson, who hadn't missed all season, lined up for a 38-yard field goal with just over two minutes left in regulation. But Anderson missed, and the Falcons went on to win the game on Morten Andersen's 38-yard field goal in overtime. The biggest losers in this? Anybody who watched the ensuing Super Bowl between the Falcons and Broncos. ... And Eugene Robinson.
4. 1981 AFC Divisional Playoff Game
There are many nicknames for this game: "The Epic in Miami", "The Miracle that Died", "The Game No One Should Have Lost". This game will be forever remembered for the horrible field conditions, the Dolphins rallying from a 24-0 deficit and Kellen Winslow's heroics. Winslow had 13 receptions for 166 yards and a touchdown, but his most impressive play was him stretching out to block Uwe von Schamann's 43-yard field goal attempt as time expired in regulation to send the game into overtime. The image of him being helped off the field is one of the most enduring in NFL history.
3. 1992 AFC Divisional Playoff Game
The Bills were not only down 32 points to the Oilers in the third quarter of this playoff tilt, but also down a starting quarterback as Jim Kelly was injured. Enter backup Frank Reich who, coincidentally, had engineered the greatest comeback in NCAA history, and not only brought the Bills back but gave them the lead in regulation following a 17-yard touchdown pass to Andre Reed. That forced the Oilers to rally, and Warren Moon set up Al Del Greco's field goal to send the game into overtime. But in the end, it was Steve Christie who booted the game-winner to set up another Super Bowl run for the Bills.
2. The Tuck Rule Game
This might have been one of the greatest moments in not only NFL history, but the history of the world. But that is any time the Raiders lose. But we all remember the play, the one in which the Raiders appeared to seal the win in the 2001 AFC Divisional Playoff Game when Charles Woodson stripped Patriots quarterback Tom Brady of the ball. But the then-little known "Tuck Rule" was entered into the sporting lexicon, along with the legend of Brady as he orchestrated two scoring drives -- including the final one in overtime -- to lead the Patriots to victory.
1. 1958 NFL Championship Game
Often referred to as the "Greatest Game Every Played", the Baltimore Colts defeated the New York Giants in overtime to capture the 1958 NFL championship at Yankee Stadium. The game featured many future Hall of Famers -- Johnny Unitas, Raymond Berry, Sam Huff, and Frank Gifford to list only a few. But it was Alan Ameche, who scored the winning touchdown for the Colts and launched the phenomenon of the NFL that was just starting to reach new fans with the popularization of television.

A Sandwich a Day: 'The Bomb' at Murray's Cheese
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
While the cheesiest sandwiches at Murray's Cheese are across-the-board excellent, and that's no surprise, some of the less cheesy options are similarly delicious. The Bomb ($6.99) pairs meaty braised short rib with funky, oozy taleggio; arugula and meltingly soft caramelized onions round it out. While it's about the richest combination of ingredients imaginable, especially with the smashed and absurdly buttery sourdough bread, it's small enough that it won't knock you out for the rest of the day.

Silver Dollar Salute
Silver Dollar Salute
Why do newly commissioned Officers give a Silver Dollar to the recipient of their first salute?
This long standing tradition doesn't seem to be documented in any military publications. It apparently started sometime in the 19th century with the Army. In the mid 19th century a dollar, especially a silver dollar was worth much more than it is today.
It is said that you have to buy your first salute and then earn every salute there after through your performance and by gaining the respect of your subordinates. The Navy adopted the tradition some time prior to WW II and today the tradition is considered a way to show respect for those superior enlisted personnel who helped you achieve your commissioned status. We don't know how precise this theory is, but this is what we tell those who ask.

After nearly a decade as an award-winning Foreign Correspondent with NPR's international desk, Eric Westervelt returned in September 2013 to domestic news with a new national beat covering American education as an Education Correspondent.
In this role, he covers the news, issues, and trends in classrooms across the country, from pre-K to higher education. He has a strong interest in the multiple ways in which technology is disrupting traditional pedagogy.
Westervelt recently returned from a 2013 John S Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University. The fellowship focused on journalistic innovation, leadership, entrepreneurship and the future of news.
Previously, he was a foreign correspondent based in the Middle East and then Europe. From 2009 to 2012 Westervelt was Berlin Bureau Chief and Correspondent coverage a broad range of news across Europe from the debt crisis to political challenges in Eastern Europe. In 2011 and 2012 his work included coverage of the revolutions in North Africa from the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt to the civil war and NATO intervention in Libya.
As a foreign correspondent, Westervelt has covered numerous wars and their repercussions across the Middle East for NPR as Jerusalem Bureau Chief and as Pentagon Correspondent. Prior to his current assignment, he spent several years living in the Middle East reporting on the war in Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Afghanistan and elsewhere. As Jerusalem Bureau Chief he covered the turmoil in the Gaza Strip, and the 2006 Second Lebanon war between the Israeli military and Hezbollah. He also reported in-depth on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict across Israel and the occupied West Bank.
During the US-led invasion of Iraq, Westervelt traveled with the lead element of the U.S. Third Infantry Division, which was the first army unit to reach Baghdad. He later helped cover the Iraqi insurgency, sectarian violence and the on-going struggle to rebuild the country in the post-Saddam Hussein era. Westervelt was one of the few western reporters on the ground in Gaza during the Fatah-Hamas civil war and he reported on multiple Israeli offensives in the coastal territory. Additionally, he has reported from the Horn of Africa, Yemen and the Persian Gulf countries.
Prior to his Middle East assignments, Westervelt covered military affairs and the Pentagon reporting on a wide range of defense, national security as well as foreign policy issues.
Before joining NPR's Foreign Desk nearly a decade ago, Westervelt covered some of the biggest domestic stories as a reporter on NPR's National Desk. His assignments spanned from the explosion of TWA flight 800 to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. He also covered the mass shooting at Columbine High School, the presidential vote recount following the 2000 Presidential Election, among other major stories. He also covered national trends in law enforcement and crime fighting, including police tactics, use of force, the drug war, racial profiling and the legal and political battles over firearms in America.
The breadth and depth of his work has been honored with the highest awards in broadcast journalism. He contributed to NPR's 2002 George Foster Peabody Award for coverage of the 9/11 attacks and the aftermath; the 2003 Alfred I. duPont - Columbia University award also for 9/11 coverage and the war in Afghanistan; and a 2004 and a 2007 duPont-Columbia University Award for NPR's coverage of the war in Iraq and its effect on Iraqi society.
Westervelt's 2009 multi-media series with NPR photojournalist David Gilkey won the Overseas Press Club of America's Lowell Thomas Award Citation for Excellence.
In lighter news, Westervelt occasionally does features for NPR's Arts Desk. His profile of roots rock pioneer Roy Orbison was part of NPR's 50 Great Voices series. His feature on the making of John Coltrane's classic "A Love Supreme," was part of the NPR series on the most influential American musical works of the 20th century, which was recognized with a Peabody Award.
Before joining NPR, Westervelt worked as a freelance reporter in Oregon, a news director and reporter in New Hampshire and reported for Monitor Radio, the broadcast edition of the Christian Science Monitor.
Westervelt is a graduate of the Putney School and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Reed College.

Michelle Obama remembers sitting in front of her television many years ago and watching Mary Lou Retton, Nadia Comaneci and Carl Lewis as they competed in the Summer Olympics.
"Like so many others," she said, "I was awed and inspired by those athletes."
Mrs. Obama admitted that she was still in awe Monday, when she took the stage with about two dozen Olympic and Paralympic athletes to announce a plan to get more than 1.7 million children involved in sports through her "Let's Move!" initiative to combat childhood obesity.
The first lady is partnering with the U.S. Olympic Committee, the Partnership for a Healthier America, U.S. Paralympics and numerous national governing bodies that have pledged their time and resources toward introducing young people to their sports over the course of the summer.
"When we first met with these organizations, we challenged them to commit to helping 1 million kids get active in their communities. That was our first target, and we thought that was ambitious," said Mrs. Obama, who will also be leading the U.S. delegation to the London Games.
"They not only met that goal," she said, "they added another 700,000 to that commitment."
USA Cycling is offering free memberships and clinics nationwide, while USA Field Hockey is launching the "FUNdamental Field Hockey" program at 250 locations reaching 15,000 kids.
USA Gymnastics plans to reach 40,000 additional children, the U.S. Soccer Federation will engage 12,000 youth in afterschool programs, and USA Track & Field is expanding its youth program by 35 percent, and the U.S. Tennis Association plans to reach 750,000 new kids this year. USA Swimming hopes to enroll 530,000 new learn-to-swim participants in its "Make a Splash" program, and engage 70,000 new youth member through local chapters.
"The 'Let's Move!' campaign is amazing, and it's something I believe in," said three-time Olympic gold medalist Natalie Coughlin, who introduced the first lady on Monday.
"I've been volunteering with The Edible Schoolyard Project to teach children healthy lifestyles through food, and knowing where food comes from, and 'Let's Move!' is the other side of that," Coughlin said. "It's getting out there and being active and not being sedentary."
The U.S. Olympians Association recently began a "Walk to London" program during which 5,456 children will walk a total of 5,456 miles — the distance from Los Angeles to London. Meanwhile, U.S. Paralympics is engaging a combined 87,500 young people through a variety of programs.
USA Volleyball and USA Basketball are also involved in the initiative.
"Many of these kids will be playing sports for the very first time, and that is so important, because sometimes — as all of you know — all it takes is that first lesson, or that first class, to get a child interested in a new sport," Mrs. Obama said.
She began the "Let's Move!" initiative in February 2010 as a way to promote a healthy and active lifestyle in the United States, where nearly one in three children is overweight or obese. The first lady recently hosted a mini-Olympics event for local school children along with Samantha Cameron, the wife of British Prime Minister David Cameron. She has also appeared on the hit TV show "The Biggest Loser" and with celebrities such as Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon.
"The national governing bodies have all signed an agreement to outline what they'll do," said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun. "We're very proud to support the first lady."
Mrs. Obama has been actively involved in the Olympic movement for years, joining President Obama in Denmark during the final presentation for Chicago's failed bid for the 2016 Olympics.
In March, it was announced that the first lady would lead the U.S. delegation at the London Games, with the opening ceremony scheduled for July 27. She'll be following in the footsteps of Hillary Clinton, who led the delegation at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, and Laura Bush, who led the way at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
"I am beyond proud to be leading the U.S. delegation," Mrs. Obama said. "When I'm sitting in that stadium in London, cheering on Team USA, I'll be thinking about all those young people cheering at home. I'll be thinking about the power of the games to truly inspire a generation, and I'll be thinking about how our Olympic and Paralympic athletes can serve as role models for our young people, as examples of the values we want our kids to learn."

Clinton calls for benefits extension
Hillary Clinton took to Twitter on Tuesday to urge a renewal of unemployment insurance as long-term benefits expired over the weekend.
"10 years ago I was proud to begin working on bipartisan efforts to save unemployment insurance," the former senator and secretary of state, a top 2016 possibility, tweeted. "Let's do it again quickly in this new year."
Story Continued Below
More than 1 million Americans lost their long-term unemployment insurance when the benefit expired on Saturday without a congressional extension, to the chagrin of many Democrats.
"What happens to kids in families cut from unemployment insurance & food stamps? They're #2SmallToFail, & deserve an equal chance to succeed," Clinton tweeted earlier this month.
On Wednesday, she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, will attend the swearing-in of incoming New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a vocal progressive who made combating income inequality a central piece of his campaign. The former president will swear in the mayor-elect.

"Dinosaurs Along The Silk Road" -- Sinofossa 2009 16: Beijing Night Market & Karaoke
From Dunhuang, we returned to Beijing (with a slight detour through Urumqi because the direct Dunhuang-Beijing flight was cancelled). Most of our happy group left for home, but a few stayed on. Jack and Christie wanted to venture to the fabled Donganmen Night Market in Beijing (on Wangfujing Street), and Jessie, Matt, and I went with them. The Night Market is basically a few city blocks lined with stalls selling...well, things that in the West could only be very loosely called "food," and then pretty much only in the context of discussing either Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or Fear Factor. Jack, brave soul that he is, was pretty much fearless and tried any number of exotic things. Matt had slightly fewer (despite having filled up on Pizza Hut immediately prior). I had a somewhat less-than-pleasant alimentary reaction last year after consuming duck brain and duck eyeball, so I was taking it tame this year...the only weird thing I ate at the night market was the head half of a seahorse. Despite its name, the Night Market seemed to shut down around 9:30 or 10 PM, so we retired to the Party World franchise near our hotel for caterwauling...er, singing...Read More

Web design Zen is all about balance. So many webmasters will tell you that web design is all about content. I believe they are wrong! My web design Zen epiphany has led me to the conclusion that web design is all about balance. This article will investigate why it is so important to get the appearance, content and functionality of your web design right and offers some tips to do so.Appearance without content is as hollow as a reedIt is true that "pretty" websites that lack genuine and original content will fall short. This is because without original content your search engine results will be poor and you just wont get visitors to see your "pretty" site.However don't be fooled concentrating and focusing on your content alone wont spell success.Content without presentation is a as a painting without paint.Content is often touted as the magical bullet that will solve all of your web design problems. The fact is you have all of the answers to your target markets questions, offer products and services with great value, and your sites appearance is not up to scratch people will navigate away.Form without function is a lion without teethYou can add the best content and have great graphic design but if you site isn't easy to navigate and use visitors will simply navigate to your competition.Web Design without planning is as an ill fated journeyWeb design planning is vital. Ask and answer all of the important issues and write them down. The best advice I can give is to consider all aspects of web design and organize the best approach to each element.Precise planning provides a blueprint to success.Balance in all things leads to the greatest successes.By now you might have figured out the common theme. One element without the support of the other fails. The healthy and well considered web design balance will give you best chance of success.
The Upside to Trade Finance Advisory
Popular search engines are excellent examples, with over 75% annual earnings before five decades. Upon study of APICORP's history, strategy, activities and achievements, and valuable industry research, you'll find some helpful information about ways to mitigate risks whenever you are in a global trade. It is possible that even during intervals of low oil prices and financial crises, one can efficiently facilitate the access to capital for the business. It's important to know about the further costs related to making use of a letter of credit.
Many emerging markets provide opportunities which you cannot get in the country anymore. Through the years, the energy industry in the area has grown to play a critical role in the world economy. The company buying the receivables is known as a factor. So as your company grows so does the quantity of funding that is available to you. Trade finance is related to the procedure for financing certain activities related to commerce and worldwide trade. If you are worried about bad debts, many discounting companies can supply a facility that includes bad debt insurance policy protection for extra security. But if you're using traditional loan and overdraft facilities that the bank won't increase, then such a facility will give a solution for cash flow.
There are a few circumstances where overpayments can be arranged. However, this kind of advance is going to be determined on the grounds of the way the facility was maintained and if a successful and dependable transactional history was built up. This scenario would be exactly the tip of the iceberg on how best to get started researching a global stock. Moreover, you would like to be aware of just how much time you are eager to spend researching investment opportunities. The entire idea with stock timing is to learn the length of time you have until you'll really want the money. Because it takes time to understand the company, you may stay assured that your facilities will be structured around the authentic enterprise you do, taking into consideration your distinctive requirements at several phases of your trade cycle. It is comparable to those people who fear others because they don't attempt to understand them. I think it is suggested to begin investing globally because lots of people have a fear of the unknown.
After you start to formulate what risk you're comfortable with and also your long-term goals for investing, the next thing to do is to recognize a strategy that fulfills your requirements. One goal is to make certain that businesses have the sales-financing tools required to drive sales and better their competitiveness. The important thing is to understand what risk levels you're comfortable with and the best target of your investing strategy. For any business the prospect of terrible debt will stay a problem. We are aware that achieving great effects in the world market needs a thorough comprehension of best practice principles. There are many trade tools which are designed to aid businesses since they learn more on the topic of international trade.
The Advantages of Trade Finance Advisory
In the long run, through this program, the country is going to have sizeable manufacturing base, which then will make gigantic growth and developmental opportunities for all participants.

Fashion Universities: How To Stay In Fashion | Fashion
We have to admit, all of us have been on the to-don'ts list of fashion at least once in our lives. More than just putting together pieces of clothing and accessories and hoping that it pulls together, some people take fashion more seriously than you think. Creativity and attitude are insufficient when it comes to the fashion industry. Proper training from the top fashion universities has become a necessity in becoming a popular fashion designer.Fashion universities know that the fashion industry is a competitive field. Designers often go back to school to take refresher courses as they don't want to be left behind on the latest trends. The following then are tips to fashion designers on how to stay in fashion in the industry.1. Be innovativeFashion universities teach their students how to stay current. Fashion designers are trend-setters. Practically speaking, they are the ones who dictate what savvy people will be wearing in the next season. People follow fashion designers and it is the job of fashion universities to instill that trend-setting mindset to their students. Immersing yourself with fashion and being exposed to anything and everything can kick up your creativity level. Remember that clothing is supposed to be a way of expression which puts a heavy responsibility on the designers. People will be wearing your design which means that designers should remained challenged to always come up with new ideas to express oneself.2. Fast-pacedThe fashion industry is a fast-paced environment that requires constant innovative designs. Fashion universities can keep you up to date with the prevailing trends at a time, but by tomorrow, a brand new concept will be introduced. With technology, design software can also be used by not only speeding up the process of designing but also make use of techniques that cannot be instilled in pencil drawing. As the industry goes from season to season, fashion designers will always have to be a season ahead of everyone else. Fashion universities then keep students conscious of the shifting demands and opportunities of the fashion industry. Fashion designers should know how to think quickly and master their skills because something new has to be put on the store shelves for next season.3. Broaden your optionsThere are hundreds of fashion designers that dream of getting their designs on the runway. Graduates of fashion universities are usually either self-employed or work for a clothing and apparel company. Inadequate capital and social connections are factors that hinder good fashion designers to be seen in fashion shows. As only a handful of designers get recognized in the fashion industry, fashion universities regard several options to which students should consider. Make-up Artists, Stylists, and Fashion Merchandising are but some examples of careers that are closely related to fashion design which are also offered by many fashion universities.Fashion universities are best suited for those who truly have a love for clothing and fashion. Staying in fashion can be both a tiring and rewarding career. Like Heidi Klum says in her popular TV show called Project Runway, "One day you're in, and the next day you're out".

Public invited to Iota Chi Trivia Night fundraiser
Send a link to a friend
21, 2014]
The Iota Chi Chapter of Phi
Theta Kappa Honor Society is hosting a Trivia Night contest and
fundraiser on Feb. 28 at 6:30 p.m., at the Meyer-Evans Student
Center on the Lincoln College campus. The event is open to the
public and everyone is invited to participate. Proceeds from this
year's event will support Iota Chi's chapter initiatives, most
notably, Special Olympics of Logan County.
Anyone interested in
registering their team should contact Assistant Professor Spring
Hyde at
firstname.lastname@example.com or 217-871-9639.
John Malone, WLNX-FM station manager and assistant professor of
broadcasting, will serve as master of ceremonies.
Iota Chi will provide free popcorn. The college snack bar will
open at 6 p.m., with items for purchase including burgers, fries,

Brittany Meador, a sophomore from Lincoln, is chapter president
for Iota Chi. When asked about the importance of the fundraiser, she
responded: "Our chapter is excited about making a donation to
Special Olympics of Logan County outside of the funds raised by
Lincoln College's Polar Plunge team. We hope everyone will enjoy a
fun-filled night of trivia while contributing to a wonderful cause!"
[to top of second column]
The chapter has been participating in the
Honors in Action research
project initiated by Phi Theta Kappa headquarters to investigate the
of Competition" (PDF). The chapter chose to examine the benefits
of Special Olympics, and most important, the way the competitions
enhance the lives of the athletes involved. As a result of their
research, chapter members have committed to making yearly donations
to Special Olympics of Logan County in addition to participating in
the Polar Plunge.
Phi Theta Kappa is the premier
national honor society for junior colleges, and Iota Chi has
recently completed four of five stars available to quality chapters.
