In the bottom of the first, leadoff hitter Meagan Anderson (Patchogue, N.Y.) hit a home run to left field on the first pitch she saw to put the Rams ahead 1-0. Farmingdale State increased the lead to 2-0 after scoring an unearned run in the second inning.
In the third inning, freshman left fielder Meghan Acton (Levittown, N.Y.) gave the Rams a 3-0 lead as she hit a two-out RBI single which scored senior third baseman Kristen Flint (Brentwood, N.Y.).
Sophomore pitcher Taylor Tedeschi (Levittown, N.Y.) held the Golden Eagles (8-4, 3-1) scoreless the rest of the way as the Rams earned a 3-0 victory in game one. Tedeschi (4-3) threw a complete game shutout allowing seven hits and striking out four.
Senior first baseman Jennifer Jarczynski (West Babylon, N.Y.) was 2-for-3 at the plate, while sophomore designated hitter Marissa Brightman (Bay Shore, N.Y.) was 1-for-3 with a run scored for the Rams.
In game two, St. Joe's scored a run in the first inning and increased their lead to 4-0 in the third on a two run home run by sophomore center fielder Julianne Tierney (Bethpage, N.Y.).
The Golden Eagles added another run in the fourth and three in the fifth to take the second game 8-0.
Senior pitcher Julia De Carmine (Holtsville, N.Y.) improved to 4-1 on the season after allowing only two hits in five innings pitched.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Freshman Rick Mancuso Freshman earned arguably the region's top weekly honor in football after being selected as the Boston Globe Gold Helmet recipient following the Engineers' triumphant victory over Nichols College in Steinbrenner Stadium. He earned additional hardware for his record-breaking performance, including a mention as a Division III National Player of the Week by the Football Gazette as well as NEFC and ECAC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Playing in the final home game of the regular season, Mancuso threw for an Institute-record 387 yards and four touchdowns to lead MIT past Nichols College, 34-21. Mancuso, who finished 25-of-43 with no interceptions, threw three of his touchdown passes in the first half and spread the ball to six different receivers.
Mancuso's Gold Helmet selection is just the third in program history and the first in 10 years. Running back Jose DeLeon last captured the honor in 1995, while Shane LaHousse accepted the award after leading MIT past Stonehill College in its inaugural varsity game to open the 1988 season.

The Danger of Charter Schooling
It's an interesting problem for charter-school afficianados: many want charters to have all the freedom of private schools, but go to pains to let people know that charters are public schools whenever the schools are under fire (or want money). Well I've just learned -- perhaps before reporters have even been able to write their stories, because I haven't yet found a news link to it -- that New York's Public Employee Relations Board will force the KIPP AMP charter school in New York City to let its teachers unionize.
This will be a tough pill for KIPP AMP to swallow, especially since an integral part of the famous KIPP model is requiring employees to be available far beyond the normal working hours of traditional public school teachers -- not something the United Federation of Teachers is known for loving. But this is the chance you take when you run a charter school: No matter how much you want to act like a private school, sooner or later the public-schooling powers will remind you of what you really are.

Like NASA says, these stars look like the thousand bright flashes of people taking photos just before a big rock concert. In reality, they are the oldest stars in our very own Milky Way, captured by Hubble.
This beautiful group of stars is the last globular cluster in the Messier Catalogue, discovered by French astronomer Pierre Méchain in 1782. Known as Messier 107, it "is one of more than 150 globular star clusters found around the disc of the Milky Way."
You can find them about 20,900 light-years away, in the in the constellation Ophiuchus. [NASA]

Barnet have announced Uli Landvreugd and Dick Schreuder will take charge of the Bees' first team.
The Dutch duo will be in control of all first team football matters and Paul Fairclough will step aside as interim manager and return to his role as director of football.
Landvreugd joined the club with Edgar Davids in October 2012 while Schreuder arrived last summer.
Fairclough says it is important to continue the "legacy" left by Davids and believes the two coaches will be able to do that.
However, he added the club will "reassess the situation" over the next few weeks depending on how the bees perform.
"Despite Edgar Davids' short time at the Barnet he has left a big imprint and a footballing legacy that can provide the perfect platform for the club to achieve wonderful things," Fairclough told the club's website.
"The imprint he has left is something myself and the club have been searching for and instead of losing it what we need to do now is develop it."
He added: "The only thing missing from this philosophy was winning matches but the transition is very much in its infancy and I believe that Uli and Dick can develop our exciting style into a winning style.
"Of course football is a results business so we will need to see how things work out over the next few weeks and then reassess the situation again."

Leg cramps are not usually due to a serious underlying medical condition, but they will certainly catch your attention. The sudden, painful tightening of a muscle may happen in your feet, calf or hamstring. They can be intense but will gradually fade away. Although these cramps can occur at any time of day, they are most common at night making sleep difficult. For some, especially older adults, these cramps may occur a few times per week, with a few cramps each night. The more frequent the cramps occur the more difficult it can be to get a peaceful night's rest. A lack of sleep can lead to other health problems, as well as affecting your general well-being. There are some medications that may decrease nighttime leg cramps but these medications are associated with some serious side effects. Studies have also shown that the medications benefits may be limited. The United States Food and Drug Administration has not approved any drugs for use in treating leg cramps. For these reasons, other nonmedicinal ways of preventing leg cramps are being studied.
Researchers from the Netherlands investigated the benefits of stretching before bedtime to reduce nighttime leg cramps. The trial, published in Journal of Physiotherapy, found that stretching was associated with decrease in frequency and severity of nighttime leg cramps.
About the Study
The randomized trial included 80 adults aged over 55 years. All participants had reported nocturnal leg cramps at least once per week but were not taking medication for treatment. The participants were also otherwise healthy without medical conditions or injuries known to cause muscle spasms. They were divided into two groups. Half were shown how to perform hamstring and calf stretches in standing and sitting positions. They were asked to do these stretches every night before bed for six weeks. The second half were in a control group and did not make any changes to their normal routine. The number of leg cramps and severity of cramps were recorded by participants over six weeks.
Stretching was associated with 1.2 fewer leg cramps per night. Participants in stretching intervention also reported lower pain severity scores than those in control group.
How Does This Affect You?
A randomized trial is considered a reliable form of research. This trial followed preset rules and is considered a high quality trial which means its results are considered reliable. Still these results have some limits. For example the participants were all healthy older adults. Stretching may not be beneficial in people with leg cramps due to specific medical conditions or injuries. Also, an earlier trial was not able to find benefits of stretching. More trials may need to be done to clarify stretching benefits for people with nighttime leg cramps.
Medications are generally reserved as a last line treatment for leg cramps because their side effects can outweigh their benefits. Stretching on the other hand is not associated with harmful side effects. The stretching program used here was a brief routine that appeared to be well-adapted by participants. So, if you have leg cramps interfering with your sleep, some pre-sleep stretches may be a good option. If you have frequent leg cramps make sure to discuss them with your doctor. Some leg cramps are due to neurological or cardiovascular issues, or certain medications. Your doctor will work with you to address these medical issues but if you have leg cramps with no apparent cause, a quick stretch may help you get that long night's sleep.

|A young Senator John F. Kennedy and two teens
tour the tornado disaster in
Shrewsbury, Massachusetts 1953
When I was growing up in Central Massachusetts, the adults would speak in hushed tones about the Worcester tornado. We moved to Holden in 1969, more than 15 years after the tornado, but the effects were very visible. The area was heavily forested, but the tornado's path was still empty and barren of trees. I could follow the path through Holden into the nearby city of Worcester by seeing the lack of woodlands as we drove into the city for shopping or doctor's appointments. My parents would casually mention that certain landmarks were "due to the tornado."
Several neighbors had survived the tornado's devastation. The young mother who lived next door had three toddlers, and would come to hide in our cellar whenever there were thunderstorm warnings. My mom would bring out boxes of Ritz crackers and peanut butter, and my sister and I would entertain the babies whenever storms passed over. At the time I didn't understand her fear. She was just a small child herself when her home was destroyed in the Burncoat neighborhood of Worcester.
I would overhear women telling of how their children were injured in the storm, including a boy who was sucked out a living room window. Men would tell my Dad how belongings were found miles away, and miraculously returned. As a child I had visions of Dorothy and Toto's flying house racing through my mind whenever we had severe storm warnings. It all seemed like fairy stories, too terrible to believe.
In my hometown of Holden, nine were killed, and then the tornado moved through Worcester, where another sixty residents died. A total of 94 people died, 1288 were injured and 10,000 were homeless. This was a staggering loss for the time, with a loss of 4,000 buildings and hundreds of automobiles. The damage was estimated at $53 million dollars in 1953. Debris was later found in the Atlantic Ocean off of Weymouth, Massachusetts- over 50 miles away. Worcester is a thousand miles away from tornado alley, but it was still a victim. It held the unfortunate record of most destructive tornado for over 60 years, until this month when Joplin was hit.
When I was much older I saw the photographs of the tornado damage, and there were annual TV news reports on the storm's anniversary. Not too long ago my daughter applied to Assumption College in Worcester. I took her to the main office for her entrance interview and spent my time perusing a display about the tornado. I didn't know the campus was originally on Burncoat Street in Worcester. I didn't know that the original campus was destroyed. Later in 1953 Miss Jacqueline Bouvier, fiancée of Senator John F. Kennedy, presented a $150,000 gift from the Kennedy Foundation towards rebuilding a new campus on Salisbury Street. A priest and two nuns died in the storm, but no students died since summer break had just begun.
Today, the storm damage is barely visible. The great empty fields near the Great Brook Valley housing development are now covered with mature trees and new industrial buildings. There are no more vacant lots, since they have long been rebuilt with new homes or businesses. The earth has healed. I know that for now the people in Missouri will think that peace of mind is a fairy tale, but their pain will also fade and become barely visible. Barely… because I know at least one woman in Holden who still hides in the cellar when the thunderstorms pass through.
[The above photo is from MSNBC.com, at this link you can read about the Worcester tornado and also see a rare movie about the tornado (in three parts on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJciyLvvfKI&feature=youtu.be ]

Hello List,
For several years I carried a Spyderco Police until I recently upgraded to the Spyderco Military which seems to be a much more capable knife.
How does the list feel the Military compares to other production and custom models? Strengths and weaknesses?
Does anyone have an opinion on the Spyderco Civilian as a combat knife?
Finally, I'm quite partial to the Spyderco "hole in the blade" style of opening. Thumb studs just don't work as well for me.
Does anyone know of a top flight custom knifemaker that uses the Spyderco style of hole?
I'm aware of A.T. Barr, but he is not taking orders at this time as he has a two year backlog.
Thanks for the help.

i have heard that the civilian is a great fighting knife. if used with training like kali, intercepting incoming blows and slashes with the hooked tip will cause MAJOR dammage to opponents limbs. its not great for stabbing and thrusting but for hooking and blocking strikes it is great.
i personaly like my microtech socom clip point as it lets me stab and slash equaly.
check www.knifeforums.com or www.bladeforums.com for more info on the civilian.
as for weaknesses on the military the only one i have conserns is the knife has no liners and the handle is made of only G-10. i like metal liners in my knives for strength and butt-stroking attackers without worring if the knife will crack in my hand.

One of my favorite folders is the Spyderco Military. This knife (in it's T440v variant) is an outstanding blade. I've had mine about three years now (I think, it seems like forever) and it has yet to need sharpening, despite frequent use/abuse. It sees a fair amount of prying and lateral stress at work. The G10 scales have yet to show any deterioration. I like metal liners, but don't think it's a critical issue. This knife replaced my Spyderco Police (one of the ATS34/titanium variants) as my backpacking/work/general carry folder.
I can't really comment of the Civilian, but I do like hawksbill blades. I have an Elishewitz Parrot's Beak that I carry on occasion. This is a helluva knife. Much stronger lock than the Walker liner on the Military. Then again, it ought to be for three times the price.
I believe that Emerson, Elishewitz, Wegner, and possibly another maker whose name I can't spell/recall have licensed the hole from Spyderco.

I am not sure if the refering to other Forum members as "LIST" is the right thing -
Lets refer to eachother collectively as SENATE... and Senators... As in Rome, the Senate held "Forums"...
Any ways, about the knife question - the Civilian is a little wimpy I think... The old Harpy was a better knife. Other thatn that - it is a Spyderco - and you really cant go wrong with one. Even a ladybug.
The Military is a great knife and it is certainly strong enough to handle any situation you are likely to ever get in. If you need more knife than the Military - then you need a GUN!

What you need to know before you go
Sheffield might be known as Steel City, but Music City may be more appropriate for the place that's seen the birth of Pulp, Def Leppard and the Arctic Monkeys. Its not just about Indie music though. At the Sheffield Arena and 02 Academy, you can shake your thing with the locals to the eclectic sounds of hip hop and pop.
Not your thing? Fear not. Sheffield didn't reach the shortlist for UK City of Culture for no reason. You can nab tickets for Tudor Square, the UK's largest theatreland outside London, drop into one of the city's large art galleries or marvel at the Sheffield Winter Gardens.

Brief Synopsis
The story of an affair between an English nurse and an American soldier on the Italian front during World War I.
During World War I, Lt. Frederic Henry, an American Red Cross ambulance driver assigned to an Italian unit at the battlefront, returns from his leave in Milan to regale his womanizing doctor friend, Maj. Alessandro Rinaldi, with stories of his conquests. Rinaldi retorts that the English have opened a new hospital staffed with beautiful nurses, among them the enigmatic Catherine Barkley. Henry meets the morose Catherine and becomes intrigued when she confides her regrets about not marrying her fiancé before he died in battle. Just before his battalion is to launch an offensive, Henry visits Catherine, who slaps him when he caresses her. When it starts to storm, Catherine, terrified of the rain, begins to sob and after Henry comforts her, they fall into a passionate embrace. After a night of lovemaking, Henry pledges his love but Catherine remains noncommittal. As the troops file out of town, Henry scours the crowd for Catherine, who, experiencing a change of heart, threads her way through the throngs to meet him. After they embrace, Catherine begs Henry to return to her. The ambulances follow the troops on their long trek through the snow-covered mountains, preparing to whisk the injured back to the hospital. When the shelling starts, two ambulances are destroyed and Henry is badly wounded in the knee. His friends hurriedly load him into the remaining ambulance and speed down the mountain to the hospital. Henry is to be sent to the new American hospital in Milan, and so Rinaldi arranges for Catherine to be transferred there, too. The hospital's first patient, Henry is attended to by the stern head nurse, Miss Van Campen, and the more sympathetic Helen Ferguson. On the day that Catherine finally arrives, Henry reassures her of his love and proposes. Aware that as a military wife, she will be sent away from the front, Catherine rejects his proposal and asserts that she does not need marriage. Although Ferguson is cynical about wartime romances, she helps conceal Henry and Catherine's affair from Van Campen. When Catherine informs Henry that she is pregnant, he insists on marriage, but she refuses once again and instead they pledge their vows to each other. Soon after, Van Campen discovers Catherine in Henry's hospital bed and indignantly notifies headquarters, assuring that Henry will be sent back to active duty that night. After one final fling in a hotel room, they tearfully bid farewell. Back at the front, Henry finds Rinaldi a broken man, the victim of trying to piece together too many mangled soldiers. The ambulances are dispatched to Capretto, but as they approach the city, they find the area in ruins, its houses bombed, its people fleeing in panic and the Italian army in hasty retreat from the savage Germans. With the Germans in pursuit, the doctors and ambulances are ordered to leave the hospital patients behind and accompany the retreating troops. Henry begs his friend Father Galli to join them, but the priest elects to face certain death and remain behind with the patients. The fleeing masses find the roads littered with the dead bodies of soldiers, women and small babies. When the ambulance loses an axle and breaks down, Rinaldi starts to rant about surrender and is arrested as a German spy sent to undermine morale. After Rinaldi is found guilty and sentenced to die, Henry pleads in vain for his friend's life as Rinaldi is hauled in front of the firing squad. When the court then challenges his identity, Henry deserts, plunging into the river. Taking the clothes from a corpse he finds floating in the water, Henry hops a train back to Milan. Upon finding Catherine, Henry declares that he is through with war and has made a separate peace. Deciding to run away to Switzerland, they brave the crossing in a small rowboat. After being battered by a storm and nearly being detected by a patrol boat, they reach the border and meet Lt. Zimmerman, a Swiss police officer, who sends them to his mother's hotel in the mountains. Six weeks later, Catherine, visibly pregnant, refuses to wed Henry for fear of creating a scandal in the village. With the coming of spring, Catherine goes into labor. After a protracted, painful labor, Dr. Emerich advises performing a caesarian, and soon after, delivers a baby boy. Over dinner that night, Emerich gently informs Henry that his son has died, and Henry declares that his son's death is punishment for his own war crimes. Back at the hospital, Henry learns that Catherine has begun to hemorrhage, and prays for her life. As he clasps her hand, Catherine dies and Henry promises that she will be with him forever. He then leaves the hospital, absorbed in his memories of Catherine.

Conservative scholar denied new trial
A conservative scholar who sued a University of Iowa law school dean, saying she was denied promotions because of her political orientation, will not get a new trial.
Teresa Wagner had sought another trial after a federal jury found in October that the university did not discriminate against her. A mistrial was declared on a second count alleging the school had violated Wagner's equal protection rights. A third count charging that Wagner's due process rights had been violated had been dismissed prior to the trial.
Wagner sought retrial on all counts.
The Des Moines Register reports the judge on Friday rejected Wagner's arguments and granted the law school defendants' motion to dismiss the count that the school had violated Wagner's equal protection rights.

HEAT ILLNESS CAN BE DEADLY. Every year, thousands of workers become sick from exposure to heat, and some even die. These illnesses and deaths are preventable.
- Who is affected?
- What is heat illness?
- How can heat illness be prevented?
This website is part of OSHA's nationwide outreach campaign to raise awareness among workers and employers about the hazards of working outdoors in hot weather. The educational resources page gives workers and employers information about heat illnesses and how to prevent them. There are also training tools for employers to use and posters to display at their worksites. Many of the new resources target vulnerable workers with limited English proficiency. OSHA will continue to add information and tools to this page throughout the summer.
OSHA is also partnering with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on weather service alerts. NOAA's Heat Watch page now includes worker safety precautions when extreme heat alerts are issued.
We invite you to join in this effort by helping to reach workers and employers in your community with the resources you will find on this site.
Who is affected? Workers exposed to hot and humid conditions are at risk of heat illness, especially those doing heavy work tasks or using bulky protective clothing and equipment. Some workers might be at greater risk than others if they have not built up a tolerance to hot conditions.
What is heat illness? The body normally cools itself by sweating. During hot weather, especially with high humidity, sweating isn't enough. Body temperature can rise to dangerous levels if precautions are not taken. Heat illnesses range from heat rash and heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat stroke can result in death and requires immediate medical attention.
How can heat illness be prevented? Remember three simple words: water, rest, shade. Drinking water often, taking breaks, and limiting time in the heat can help prevent heat illness. Employers should include these prevention steps in worksite training and plans. Gradually build up to heavy work in hot conditions. This helps you build tolerance to the heat - or become acclimated. Employers should take steps that help workers become acclimated, especially workers who are new to working outdoors in the heat or have been away from work for a week or more. Gradually increase workloads and allow more frequent breaks during the first week of work. Also, it's important to know and look out for the symptoms of heat illness in yourself and others during hot weather. Plan for an emergency and know what to do - acting quickly can save lives!

Archimedes was able to work out the lengths of various tangents to the spiral. It can be used to trisect an angle and square the circle.
The curve can be used as a cam to convert uniform angular motion into uniform linear motion. The cam consists of one arch of the spiral above the x-axis together with its reflection in the x-axis. Rotating this with uniform angular velocity about its centre will result in uniform linear motion of the point where it crosses the y-axis.
Taking the pole as the centre of inversion, the spiral of Archimedes r = aθ inverts to the hyperbolic spiral r = a/θ.

Ferrari pays homage to Italy with the 458 Spider
Maranello, 26 September 2011 – Today Ferrari started the International Media Test Drive of the Ferrari 458 Spider, which will last until 17 October. 200 journalists from all over the world and from the most prestigious news outlets will come to Italy to test-drive the new exclusive 8-cylinder with mid-rear engine from Ferrari. The first model in the world with an architecture sporting a hard-top made of aluminium will be the protagonist on the roads of the Apennine hills between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, connected to the tradition of the Prancing Horse. Included in the route is the legendary track of the "Parma – Poggio di Berceto" hill climb, where Enzo Ferrari participated in his first race as a driver in the year 1919.
The 458 Spider pays homage to the architectonic and natural beauties of the South with the official video shot at the Amalfi coast and on some exceptional roads of the Basilicata region. A part of the video was shot in Caserta at the famous Reggia, where some really unique images were recorded thanks to the collaboration of the ministry of cultural affairs and the B.A.P.S.A.E. of Caserta and Benevento.
Thus the tradition of the Prancing Horse – using places and locations in Italy, launching its new models, contributing to the promotion of the beauties of Italy – continues. The Ferrari California was presented in Sicily at the saline of Mozia, the archaeological park of Selinunte and the coast and roads of the Trapani province; the FF on the roads of South Tyrol in the valleys of the Dolomites, taking two of the new Ferrari model on an altitude of 2,000 metres to the Plan de Corones. Last but not least the 458 in its Coupè version, to pay homage to Italy and its name, was even designated to be the 458 Italia.

Kathy Iberle (Hewlett-Packard) and Sue Bartlett (IIS/STEP Technology) have developed a model to determine the ratio of software testers to software developers. The following comes from the abstract of their paper "Estimating Tester to Developer Ratios (or Not)".
Test managers often need to make an initial estimate of the number of people that will be required to test a particular product, before the information or the time to do a detailed task breakdown is available. One piece of data that is almost always available is the number of developers that are or will be working on the project in question. Common sense suggests that there is a relationship between the number of testers and the number of developers. This article presents a model that can be used in describing that relationship. It is a heuristic method for predicting a ratio of testers to developers on future projects. The method uses the model to predict differences from a baseline project. A reader with some projects behind her will be able to come up with a rule-of-thumb model to suit her most common situations, to understand when the model might not give accurate answers and what additional factors might need to be taken into consideration.
In the paper the authors present two case studies: (1) "MergoApp", a e-commerce website where the tester-developer ratio was 1:4, and (2)"DataApp", a database application to replace an Excel application, where the actual tester-developer ratio was 4:8. A copy of their model can be found at Kathy Iberle's web site (http://www.kiberle.com/articles.htm). In addition, slides for the presentation can be found here: Estimate Slides.

Recruiting Talent The RIGHT Way For Your Dealership
Two of the hottest topics in the auto industry this year are online reputation and recruiting. Hiring the wrong recruiting company can ruin your dealership's reputation and cost you BIG!
There are several different ways to go about recruiting talent for your dealership, but the most effective way, aside from strong grass- roots efforts, is to outsource it to an expert recruiting company. That being said — buyer beware. Here is a video showing the local news team exposing a dealership and the recruiting company they hired who charges applicants.
When dealers start shopping around, they quickly learn they have options, but just like a customer looking to buy a car but unfamiliar with the ways of or industry, if you don't do your research you could end up in a bad situation. Just as there are good dealers and bad dealers, there are good recruiting companies and bad recruiting companies. Most play by the rules, but others play Russian Roulette with your dealership's dollars and reputation.
Let's start with companies who charge applicants. If you tell applicants in the advertisement that you are going to charge them an exorbitant fee that has no guarantee of a refund, or even a job for that matter, the applicants won't show up for the interview. If you DON'T disclose the fee in the ad, you're committing deceptive advertising practices which may ultimately be proven fraudulent with punitive repercussions aimed directly at the dealership. Here is a good explanation of the process used to charge applicants as explained by a candidate who went through the process.
Because most recruiting companies who charge applicants use the dealer's logo, this gives them freedom to make mistakes on your dime. Ask any sales manager who has used this type of company and they'll have a horror story or two.
Also, the recruiter only gets paid if applicants attend the training, so they will put anyone in the class who shows up for an interview if they have the money. The trainer discourages high- quality applicants, just in case the applicant interferes with the class on the third day when the fee is brought up again; It's possible they could create a "walk out" by exposing the lack of guarantees and orchestrated trickery.
Here is a recent undercover investigation by ABC News showing exactly how scams like this work.
The dealer's real troubles, however, begin after they make their hiring decision. The dealer may let the recruiting company know that they only want to hire four, but the trainer/recruiter may have 15 or 20 in the class all week long right through until Friday. After the dealership hires the applicants they want, the others are left with a sense of rejection and told they won't get their money back, but can call an 800 number for "job placement." Most of the "job placement" people are simply minimum-wage workers who have no job placement experience. They are simply told to call the dealerships in the area and see if they can get the applicants some interviews.
In many cases, the trainer/recruiters are not properly trained themselves and don't understand legal interview questions. There are many new interview do's and don'ts. Improperly trained recruiters can create additional risks for you because, in this day and age, the applicants know more about what someone can and cannot ask you than they ever have before. Rejected applicants will often point their wrath directly at the dealership in the form of BBB complaints, "Rip Off " reports, attorney general investigations, EEOC complaints and any other form of reputation bashing the justifiably angry job seeker can get their hands on.
There is a better way to recruit the best talent in the industry: through companies who don't hide in the shadows looking to make a quick buck off a desperate job seeker. Before you hire a recruiting company, there are 13 things you should know. Answers to these simple questions should protect your dealership from harm.
1. Is the recruiting company willing to sign a supplemental agreement releasing the dealership from all potential liabilities in the event of an unforeseen issue?
2. Does the company have any programs where they charge applicants? If so, walk away
3. When they advertise, are they telling the applicants there are no hiring or training fees?
4. Are they properly licensed and insured? If not, walk away.
5. Do they have a state and or national reference list?
6. Do they offer any replacement guarantees on the candidates you hire from them?
7. Do they offer objective guarantees that the service you pay for will be delivered fully?
8. In their ads, do they mention they are a third-party company retained by the dealership, with proper links to their Website and a phone number to their office?
9. Do they allow the dealership management to interview the candidates before the candidates are trained by the recruiter? If no, walk away.
10. Do they staff for all positions in your dealership?
11. Are there any factory programs available, or are they highlighted by any OEM which may include special pricing for your dealership franchise?
12. Have they ever gotten a dealership sued, or been sued themselves for advertising practices, or preying on jobless candidates?
13. Is there any bad press on the company online that has not been properly addressed by the recruiting company's executive management?
For a free supplemental agreement releasing the dealership from any and all liability issues when using a recruiting company, which you can use with any recruiting company you choose to use, you can e-mail me at the address below with "Free Supplemental Agreement Request" in the subject line. In addition, you will be provided with a list of free "Interview Do's and Don'ts" to keep your managers from getting you sued. Good selling!

Layered Glass Table Concept Creates a Cross-Section of the Ocean
We've seen no shortage of projects using layers of glass to simulate bodies of water the last few days. First we had glass sculptures by Ben Young, followed by several amazing river and lake tables Greg Klassen. Now we have designer Christopher Duff of Duffy London who has released concept images of the Abyss Table, a carefully layered table made from sculpted Perspex and wood that creates a geographic cross-section of the ocean. The tables will be limited to a series of 25 and are available for purchase here.
It should be noted that these are digital renderings of what the final piece should look like, it will be great to see photos of the actual tables once they are built. You can see a few more renderings on their Facebook page. (via designboom)

As we all know, in English, some words sound identical but have various spellings and meanings. If you accept all the "suggestions" provided by your spellchecker, ice will remain even though you meant nice, there might become their, its might become it's, where might become were … you get the point. Technology has not usurped brainpower.
But Not All Brains
Are you considered a talented creative writer, but you're not a meticulous editor? Can you understand complex technologies yet not write a summary of your knowledge without numerous wrong word choices and misspellings? Or, are you like me--so talented in one area (English) that you're nearly dysfunctional in others (e.g., Math)?
Born to Edit -- The Elusive Editing Gene
A talent for writing does not necessarily equal a talent for editing (and vice versa). Few people have the persistence and drive for perfection that leads to the ability to scrutinize every word on a page and enjoy (nearly) every moment. Since editing is so vital to the writing process, this is the brain you want to contract (no extra charge for the rest of the editor).
It Takes Two (or more)
Two Sets of Eyes -- When proofreading your own work, you tend to overlook your own mistakes. Your mind automatically fills in what it thinks should be there. The writer is too close to the material to be objective. A professional book editor can recognize the repetitions, inconsistencies, faulty logic, and other problems that are often overlooked by the writer.
is actually part of the writing process. Don't let your
manuscript leave your possession without this important step.
--sentence structure
--subject and verb agreement
--proper word use
--point of view
Nothing But The Truth
I will realistically assess your writing skills, and I'll tell you honestly if I feel that you need a light copy edit, a heavier developmental edit, or could benefit from more formalized writing instruction (or multiple options in between). It's also possible that I'm not the best editor for your particular project. Which leads us to …
Matchmaker ... Make
There are times when our schedules don't coincide. And there are times when I feel the subject matter might best be handled by an editor with expertise or interest in a particular genre or subject area.
I coordinate a national network of professional writers and book editors. I will provide you with direct referrals if I feel another editor has the specific expertise you need or if another editor is available within your specified timeframe. Though I do an ongoing critique, point out problems, and provide instruction in embedded comments as I edit, if I feel you'd get more "bang for the buck" with an editor who's also a writing instructor I'll ask you for permission to introduce you via e-mail. I will always try to give you several leads so you can make your own choice. My goal is the same as yours: the best writer/editor combination.
Note: This site represents my credentials. If I accept your manuscript I am your only editor. I do not use contractors or distribute your work to others.
Additional services: ghostwriting, query letters, synopses, content development, critique/analysis, fact-checking and research, technical writing, indexing, tape transcription, graphic design, self-publishing assistance, book marketing.
Book Editing
In general, PROOFREADING involves the identification and correction of typographical errors, punctuation errors, misspellings, and formatting inconsistencies. It may also mean comparing two documents for uniformity.

"I would not want to have to use someone else for editing. Lynda does such a wonderful job on our scientific publication. I depend on her editing skills to make our publication look truly professional." Kathy Lyon, Association of Avian Veterinarians, Publication Office.
Excellent work. I thought I could slip a few poorly constructed ideas past Lynda (and myself), but she caught them and politely suggested their removal -- exactly what writers expect in a good editor -- M. Burton, Professor of Political Science, Ohio University
"Lynda went beyond the scope of our agreement. Her work was excellent! Consequently, my document was of a higher quality after her assistance, and I felt I had a partnership with her in the final document. She provided service beyond any of my expectations. I am grateful for the work she invested to make my document significantly better." Scott Thompson, Principal, Twin Groves Middle School, doctoral candidate, Roosevelt University
Before You Let Your Creation
Publishing houses receive hundreds of submissions each day. The eyes of an in-house editor are trained to crush the weak and champion the strong. The acquisitions editor *might* give you a two-page reading before tossing your work into the slush pile. Many are tossed after one paragraph.
You want the agent or acquisitions editor to be captivated by your writing, not assaulted by the usual litany of mistakes commonly perpetrated by new writers. You may have a terrific story, and even have the talent to tell it, but it's your errors that will stand out to the publishing professional.
A manuscript should be noticed for its content and quality. Being noticed for typos, wrong word choices, fuzzy thinking, convoluted sentence structure, stiff and unrealistic dialogue, and point of view flip-flops is not the way to win friends and influence people.
"The most important lesson in the writing trade is that any manuscript is improved if you cut away the fat"-- Robert Heinlein
manuscript is the result of many months or years of hard
work. Before you let your creation out into the cruel
world, make sure you give it the best chance for
