"My students love this program! Truly, what an amazing gift this has been to our art community! Never have I felt so competent in incorporating art integration into my curriculum."
About Kelvin
I am very comfortable with all aspects of the current music syllabus, including teaching musical concepts (such as duration, pitch, dynamics, tone color, texture and structure) as well as performance, composition. I am fully qualified, with a Bachelor of Education in Music, Double Masters in music performance and education from University of Nottingham.
I am proficient in classical, jazz and Celtic fiddle violin and possess solid skills in piano (grade 8-13) Royal conservatory system.
Throughout my teaching career, I have been driven to help students achieve their very best. I str
The most important thing I look for in a student is communication skills, as well as talent. I like to nurture students and help identify their individual strengths, which is a key factor in shaping a musical persona that will make its mark both on and offstage. I do not advocate a uniform technique for all students. Physical differences and learning styles are always taken into consideration. Potential is as important to me as early achievements and experience. My goal is to help students become self-sufficient, discriminating artists. I discuss practice techniques often and develop individualized scale routines. I encourage initiative and expressive musicality as well as precision. Above all, music needs to bring obvious joy to the student, regardless of the difficulties."

I like to take pride in making my students feel secure and knowing and seeing the improvement they make within each session. I will be handing out a materials list prior to our lessons. Most students see a huge leap in drawing within the the first lesson! Class starts out usually with me giving a 1 hour demonstration on what I expect them to do as I cover and explain my entire process and thought and calculations that goes into drawing and painting. For the rest of the class I will be besides the student as they work giving them one on one pointers and as much help and explanation as they need in order to improve. Students start out with learning how to look and draw what they observe accurately by first working on simple geometric shapes such as spheres, cubes. We then will move on to Cast studies and after a few months of studying we will start on figures and portraits.
About Kai Lun
Spreading the joy of drawing and painting has always been a great pleasure of mines.
Being trained in China's most prestigious and renowned fine arts academy, CAFA (China Central Academy of Fine ArtsI) as well as studying in Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, Shanghai Art and Design Academy, and Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, I offer art classes in traditional realistic painting and drawing techniques, both Online and in my studio I set up within my studio.
Students of all levels are welcome. From beginners who love art and drawing but who have not had formal training, to experienced artists who want to gain a more solid grasp of fundamental principles, historical training methods lead to significant skill development within a few months of teaching.

About Jeff K.Close

I provide classical instruction in portraiture, still life and landscape in your studio or mine. In this traditional approach to drawing and painting, what will be taught and focused upon are perspective, value and composition in order for the student to develop strong visual language skills. The program of study begins with a specific focus on drawing, since drawing is the foundation upon which all great traditional art is built. Throughout this training, emphasis will be placed on accuracy, or more specifically, seeing and rendering correctly such things as line quality, hard and soft edges, proportion, positive and negative space through abstract form and the use of the full range of values.
About Jeff
The program of study for drawing will include: Demonstration of one, two and three point perspective, creating the nine step value scale, cast drawing in charcoal, the still life in charcoal and drawing the portrait. The topic of composition will also be covered. I've done commissioned work for Audi, the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the American Repertory Theater, the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, Kessler Financial Ser

In my classes I emphasize two things: creating a new way of seeing, and practicing accuracy in what you see. We move through exercises that develop creativity and work through the fundamental technical components of making a drawing or a painting. Each class builds upon the tools we've developed from the last so students come away with a comprehensive understanding of art making, rather than a step-by-step formula. We work together to not only increase technical proficiency and achieve specific goals, but to develop the confidence to make art anywhere the mood strikes, whether it be painting at your kitchen table or sketching in a coffee shop or a hotel balcony.

UIS Green Purchasing Guide
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the Green Purchasing Guide
Pilot Test Information:
Please download and review the current working draft of the Green Purchasing Guide (.pdf)
What is "Green Purchasing"?
Green Purchasing is the buying of products that contain a high percentage of recycled materials including paper and folders or products that have been remanufactured including toner cartridges.
Why is "Green Purchasing" important?
The goal of green purchasing is to close the recycling loop. The recycling process reduces the amount of raw materials and resources used in manufacturing. For example, the production of recycled-content paper saves trees, energy and water usage, and landfill space. The loop is closed when that recycled-content paper is purchased and re-recycled. Here is a simple diagram that illustrates how a green purchase closes the recycling loop.
Office Recycling
Unwanted papers discarded in office recycling bin. Campus wide recycling is sent off to recycling plant.
Recycled content is used to manufacturer new copy paper. Ideally, this paper contains 100% recycled content.
Green Purchase
UIS Department purchases 100% recycled copy paper.Repeat cycle.
By making a Green Purchase, the UIS Department in the example above closed the recycling loop, finalizing the saving of trees, energy, water and landfill space.
Learn More: For a general overview of the benefits of the recycling process, visit the EPA Website on Municipal Solid Waste Recycling.
Why was the Green Purchasing Guide (GPG) developed?
During the Fall 2007 semester, students from the Environmental Studies program completed a systematic environmental audit of the faculty and staff offices in CPAA. Their goal was to help identify ways in which we could make our college operations "greener".
By recommending specific recycled or energy saving products, the College of Public Affairs and Administration hopes to assist your office in making environmentally preferable purchasing decisions.
What Products Should I Buy?
The GPG is a recommend list of commonly used office products that contain a high percentage of recycled material. By purchasing an item featured on the GPG, you will know you are making a good choice. If you need to purchase an item from a category not outlined in the guide, here are some hints to help you make an environmentally-preferable purchase.
Look for the Recycled Icon
When browsing the iBuy website or strolling the aisles at an office supply store, look for products marked with the Recycled icon. This icon indicates a product containing recycled materials. Choose carefully; two seemingly identical items may contain different amounts of recycled content. Look for the highest percentage of post-consumer waste.
Choose Post-Consumer Waste
Choose a product containing Post-Consumer waste over one containing Pre-Consumer waste. Post-Consumer Waste has already completed the recycling loop. Pre-Consumer waste is another term for manufacturing byproducts that would have been re-purposed anyway.
Buy Remanufactured
Remanufactured or refurbished products have been repaired or refilled for continued use. Remanufactured printer ink and toner cartridges are less expensive, and reusing them keeps waste out of the landfill. Remember to close the recycling loop by returning empty toner cartridges to the manufacturer for reuse.
Did you know? You can place empty toner cartridges in your outgoing mailbox, and Campus Mail Services will make sure they are sent out for recycling.
Other Green Features
Look for items that can be recycled or reused after use. For example, vinyl 3- ring binders are not recyclable. Can you accomplish the same goal with a recyclable paper folder instead? Products marked Biodegradable, Low V.O.C. or manufactured with Alternative Energy are also desirable.

DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION LECTURE SERIES MICHAEL McMANUS. 01:29:21:22 MS: Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Susie, I
- Roger Daniel
- 2 years ago
- Views:
1 01:29:21:22 MS: Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Susie, I think you re right. I think this is the biggest turnout we ve had for the lecture series in a long time, and more people with notebooks. Mike, I think there s gonna be a lot of note taking today. 01:29:41:13 Good morning and welcome to the last of the museum spring 2005 lecture series. This series this spring has been titled Now For Something A Little Different, and certainly today is gonna be a little different from our usual presentations. 01:29:54:25 We re gonna talk a little bit about retirement. The museum is about old things. Oh, I m sorry Mike. I don t even thing he heard me. Retirement today does not have the same definition that it used to have. Forty years ago it meant a rocking chair and the grandchildren. But today retirement means simply moving on to your next career. 01:30:17:26 One of the benefits of a career with DEA is that it provides special skills, knowledge and of course that magic word connections, a valuable commodity worth 1
2 it s weight in gold. Special Agent retired Mike McManus has made the transition into his own business and claims that he s learned some valuable lessons that he s going to share with us and those that will follow him. 01:30:41:11 Just a bit of biographical background. Mike became a DEA agent in 1983 working in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida district office. In 1991 he became Assistant Narcotics Attaché in the Bahamas. Then went back as a group supervisor to the Miami Field Division. From there he came here to headquarters in 1999 as a staff coordinator in the office of public affairs and then was promoted to operations to Chief of the Mexico Central America section in :31:10:18 Mike finally pulled the plug in August of 2004 and is currently the director of investigative services for the McCloud Consulting Group in Florida. Ladies and gentlemen, Mike McManus. (Applause) 01:31:37:00 MS: Okay. Can you hear me in the back? Alright. Can you hear me now? That s what we do at NSA. Any 2
3 time we visit NSA walk around can you hear me now? Thank you very much, and it s a pleasure to be back here. It really is. It s always fun to come back and see old friends. I do not and will not stand behind a podium. I m a pacer. I like to work the crowd as they say. 01:31:59:24 So I want to take a moment to say hello to everybody and again I ve missed all of you. I really have. I tell the story about the last day walking out of this building and the emotional experience that you go through that some of you have already had. Like Joe Amanza and a couple other people that have left. 01:32:19:12 But when Susie asked me if I would come up and speak to DEA I initially said no. I said I m not gonna come back and talk to DEA about drugs and stuff like that. I go out and do I do demand reduction lectures, and I go out and do different presentations around the country and around the world. 01:32:34:20 But I m not gonna come back and talk to my peers who know just as much as I do if not more. They said 3
4 Mike, we don t want you to talk about drugs. We don t want those type of that type of information. We want to know the other side. What s like it after DEA? What are the experiences? I says well I can tell you about a lot of mistakes that I ve made. 01:32:56:01 I says as long as I can come here and make fun of myself and let you know how stupid and naive I am then I ll be more than happy to because let me explain. We have no idea how much we really know and what we re what we can do in the private sector once you get out there. 01:33:18:24 It is amazing the money and the checks that people will write for the stupidest things. So with that in mind, and I am not directing this just to the agent workforce. I am speaking to the intelligence division, to the support staff, to the ladies who put briefing books together, the whole nine yards because I initially wanted to come up in a suit, hand out talking points and do a Power Point presentation. 4
5 01:33:49:11 I know that that would have been your worst nightmare. Okay, having to sit through another Power Point presentation. This is nothing but off the top of my head from the seat of my pants telling you about the experiences that I ve had. 01:34:02:01 Now, let s go back a little bit. I m a group supervisor in Miami back in the mid-90 s, and I didn t understand all these stupid taskings coming out of headquarters wanting to know the minutia of certain things. I used to say to my ASAC who was later the SES Assistant Special Agent down there, associate, and Billy Sylvestri and Mike Cane. 01:34:28:29 I used to sit lunch with them. I said you know God help the day I get to headquarters because things are going to change. (Laughter) Now, they did exactly what you just did. They laughed at me and they said you have no concept as to what you re getting ready to walk into. I said there can t be this amount of bull shit up there. 5
6 01:34:55:14 So I arrive in Public Affairs and I meet Sean and everyone else and I begin to learn my way around headquarters in September of 99. Now I realize. I mean I remember going to the grade three clerk just to try to get some things to get a sparking sticker and all this other stuff. 01:35:14:14 I said well you know I m a GS-14, staff coordinator. I m here. I need all this hey, let s go. Next. I said well how soon can I get it? I need it right away. Come back in a week. It ll be ready. Yeah, but I m a fourteen. I mean I m a staff coordinator, you know. I carry a gun and a badge. 01:35:30:24 Hey listen pal. You guys come through every two or three years. Just keep moving. Keep moving, okay. Absolutely no respect. Okay, and I understand that. They re here. They re institutionalized. We just are the revolving door. But you begin to understand the mentality of what s going on at headquarters. 01:35:49:02 So I get up to public affairs and I m all energized. Terry Parr (ph.) is my boss and Sean and everybody. 6
7 We re all working together in museum staff, and it was an exciting time. Mr. Marshall had just stepped in as the Acting Administrator. He was getting ready to be confirmed. SOD was putting together international investigations with our offices overseas. 01:36:09:00 We were really starting to promote DEA. We were hold press conferences in here and we re getting a lot of publicity, and it s a great time because I m sitting at my pod and my job is to read the newspaper all day. Now they re paying me a lot of money, and I have no employees underneath me. I have no performance appraisals, no flash roles, no op plans, and they re paying a six figure income and my job the first thing in the morning is to deliver newspapers on the 12 th floor. 01:36:43:17 I am the most expensive paid newsboy that you could ever imagine. I actually sat down with Terry Parr, my boss. I said is this serious? We actually deliver newspapers. That s part of my job? We have to be in there at six thirty, and you deliver Ritchie Fiano his 7
8 newspaper, and he gets the USA Today, The New York Times and The Miami Herald. 01:37:02:03 Then we go to Julio Marcarto who gets The New York Times, The New York Post and the USA Today. Mr. Marshall gets a different set of newspapers. So you had to know where every and God forbid if you mixed em up. I mean that was hell to pay. Who in the hell gave me The New York Post? What the hell do I want to read that rag for? 01:37:20:26 So, this goes on for about a year, and we have a great time. But I begin to understand the interworkings of Public Affairs and more importantly the advantage of knowing how to sell yourself and how to sell the organization you re working for. Don t lose sight of that because we have a great story to tell. We really do. 01:37:43:18 I mean people beg for the inside story. They beg for information that we have to offer. But what happens is they re always looking for the next story, for the 8
9 better story. Thus as some of the guys in inspection will hear me, the Andrew Chambers story, okay. 01:38:00:15 Now Andrew Chambers was a CI that worked for us that went bad, had some problems. But ultimately there was a lot of baggage and a lot of bad writing about it. But the guys on the 12 th floor took a lot of hits. I mean I can remember Ritchie Fiano sitting down with Connie Chung, and we said Mr. Fiano we should probably brief you ahead of time and let you do a dry run. 01:38:22:03 No, no. I did Sixty Minutes. I know what to do. I said okay, Ritchie. But I m telling you. Well, we go into the museum, we set up, and Connie Chung just comes out like Hi, how you doing Mr. Fiano. Thanks for seeing me today. Okay, lights, camera, action. BOOM. She s all over him like a cheap suit. 01:38:40:02 Let me tell you something. We stop the cameras about half-way through and Ritchie looks over and says is there a cut man here? I mean she just beat him to death. But it taught us a very important lesson. You as ASAC s or associate SAC s or future SAC s be 9
10 prepared. The press is not looking for the fluff story. 01:39:02:21 They re looking for the story behind the story. That s all the that s what you need to be prepared for because when you re gonna stand up in front of the cameras and they re going live at five with you you better have your act together. 01:39:16:26 Know your facts. Be prepared to say, know what you want to say and what you don t want to say because it will sink you in a heartbeat because the last thing they want to do up here is read about you stepping all over yourself in a news story. So you have to be very careful of that. 01:39:35:26 So then I moved from Public Affairs and my ego got the best of me, and instead of going home I says okay. I want to go I ll take the fifteen. Mike Fahillo (ph.) promotes me into International Operations. Now mind you I had come up to headquarters without my family. I was of those commuters. 10
11 01:39:55:02 Honey, don t worry. It ll be okay. I ll be back in a year or two. Everything will be fine. Okay? Well, two years turned to three years, three years turned to four years. Five years, I m still here. So and then the famous myth. You re too important, okay. 01:40:11:20 You have too much institutional knowledge. Now I m the section chief of Mexico and Central America. We can t afford to let you go now. Don t worry we ll take care of you. Okay. Now, this is all about how naïve I am, okay. So, anyway the bottom line is as we fast forward and I ve done my four years on the Mexico Central America desk and everybody says it s a oneyear job. The burnout rate is one year. 01:40:39:00 I did four. But, what happens is it s now December 19, I just turned fifty years old that day. Now I realize as I m sitting at my desk, and I ll never forget this. This is eleven o clock in the morning. My staff says Mike, we want to take you out for lunch for your birthday. 11
12 01:40:58:28 I says time out. I ll be back in a minute. I go down to personnel and I walk in and I say to them I don t even get the sentence out. Today is my birthday. She says sit down. I know what you want to know. I sit down with personnel, very nice lady, and she begins to run the numbers. 01:41:15:13 If you leave today this is what you re going to leave with. This is your retirement check. I says don t tell me my gross pay. I want to know what my takehome pay is. Than I begin to ask some important questions that you all need to be thinking about. 01:41:32:03 What about the insurance? What about the annuity? Do I take the 25% annuity? Do I take the 50% annuity for my spouse? I have to take some form of annuity for me to continue with my life insur or my health insurance. These are things that unfortunately personnel can give you only so much information. 01:41:52:23 But it really is a matter of sitting down with a financial specialist who can answer those questions to help prepare you for this. What do I do with my TSP? 12
13 Is it safe just to leave it or am I better off rolling it over into an annuity type thing or into a mutual fund or whatever the case may be? 01:42:10:18 Am I gonna need that money? Because the important question is and everybody wants to know forget about what your annual leave check s gonna be because everybody s trying to get that three to four, five hundred hours built up. That check is gonna come, and it s gonna come within six weeks just like OPM said it is. 01:42:27:11 But what happens is you get that first retirement check and it s about half of what you were expecting. At least you hope you re expecting more. Then the next one comes and it s a little bit higher. Then the next one s a little bit higher. It took seven months before OPM got my retirement right. 01:42:45:28 So then you begin to say what are these people doing? So I call OPM after about the third or fourth month after talking to personnel, and let me tell you 13
14 something. Our personnel people are great. But it s OPM that controls the checkbook. 01:42:58:13 So I said to personnel how can this be? What s the problem? They said well Mike, they re showing your high three as $105,000 a year. I said but I as in ASAC. I was a grade 15. I was making $125,000 a year. How can my high three be $105,000. Here s a number. Call OPM. I call OPM. I say listen, my three it s not right. 01:43:20:04 They said oh yeah, you re right. You were making $125,000. You re high three s $105,000. We made a mistake. We ll correct it. The next month my check was up like twelve dollars. So I call OPM and I said listen we have another mistake. They said no, we ve corrected. Your high three is now $108,000, and I said but I was in ASAC for five years, for four years. 01:43:41:15 I was making $125,000. How could that possibly be? I said I don t think you re including my AUO. Then it s like the scariest answer. What s AUO? So I said oh my gosh. So, personnel and I begin to get on the 14
15 phone. We write s. We get this straightened out. The bottom line seven months later it finally happens. 01:44:02:24 But as I m sitting in personnel that day on December 19 th 2003 fifty years old, twenty years on the job. I could walk out the door. I have formally just joined the K&A club. What happens is I m getting up from the chair, and this is the most important thing personnel did for me. I get up from the chair and the woman says do you want to know what it would be for fiftyfive? 01:44:28:10 I said yeah, that s a great idea. So I sit back down and she runs the numbers for age fifty-five if I retire in another five years. She says this is not including your TSP, and she shows me the numbers and I look at it and I says this has got to be a mistake. I said that s only another eleven hundred and fifty dollars. 01:44:46:14 She goes yeah, that s what it is. I says I m gonna stay for five you want me to stay for five more years 15
16 so I can collect another eleven hundred and fifty dollars and my wife and kids are in Florida and I m commuting every two weeks? It s costing me more than that just to live across the street at River House Apartments. 01:45:02:20 So they said sorry, these are the numbers. So then it really dawns on me. I get on a plane that night and I m home for Christmas holidays, and I sat down with my wife and she goes hey. That you re a nothing but you ve been gone for about four and half years now. I mean this whole thing about I know you guys are good bullshitters and everything, but enough is enough. 01:45:21:26 I says you know, you re right. I m fifty years old. I really need to be thinking about the other opportunities. That s when I started my research, and this is whenever you begin to think about is it time for me to go? And you begin to run the numbers and you ve done your homework. 01:45:37:24 Then you begin to think about well what do I want to do when I make that next step? Where do I want to go? 16
17 In my line I had always had the idea that I wanted to have my own private investigation agency. I wanted to be able to do a variety of different things. I didn t want to be sitting behind a desk. 01:45:55:09 I didn t want to be the director of the security of Caesar s Palace or anything like that. I wanted to do something that every day is gonna be a little bit different. So I start doing my homework. I call some attorneys that I know in south Florida, guys that used to be prosecutors, now in private practice. Guys that used to be criminal defense attorneys, are now civil attorneys. I begin to say what s what are you seeing for private investigators? 01:46:21:04 They said Mike, we don t have anybody in town that s got your background. Retired Ft. Lauderdale policemen, retired VSO detective, former homicide investigator from the Hollywood Police Department. Nobody with any ties outside Broward County. They said somebody coming here with the international contacts that you have we would scoop up in a minute. 17
18 01:46:45:16 So then I begin to look at the hourly rates, and I made cold calls to private investigative firms around town. And I began to research how much do you charge to do this, this and this. And it s anywhere from basically fifty dollars an hour to a hundred dollars an hour. 01:47:01:23 Interestingly enough you go thirty miles south into Miami and the rates go up from seventy-five to a hundred and fifty. There are retired DEA guys in Miami, and they re billing at $200 an hour. So the money is there but they re working for large law firms, and they have deep pocket clients and deep pocket attorneys that they can afford, and they re doing a lot of international cases. 01:47:26:06 So then the question becomes do I and can I retire? I sit down with my financial consultant and I begin to run the numbers and ask the questions that all of you need to think about. What about that spousal annuity? Do I take the 25% versus the 50%? What about the health insurance and what do I do here? Should I be buying life insurance rather than the 25%? 18
19 01:47:49:19 And I then go to the DEA retirement seminar, and I get a lot of those answers those questions answered as well. But as I sit down with my financial advisor I then begin to realize what we have to offer because he says Mike, you re only fifty years old. What do you want to do? You ve got three kids. You ve got two of them in college, another one on the way. 01:48:11:27 I said well this is my business plan because you have to have at the very least in your mind a business plan. Where do I want to go? When you begin to look at the numbers, and if I billed at $100 an hour and I only billed twenty hours a week that s a hundred a four thousand dollars a year. You take two weeks vacation. You ve made a six figure income. 01:48:34:08 That s working twenty hours a week at a hundred dollars an hour. That s not high because that is now what I m we re seeing more and more of is the average. So when I go into these law firms and I deal with the support staff in the law firms ladies and gentlemen who are here who are not the criminal investigators. 19
20 01:48:54:14 Let me tell you something. These are not rocket scientists. What the skills that you have learned here within DEA and the disciplines that you have learned putting these briefing books together, talking points together, I mean all the Power Points that have to be done. 01:49:12:11 Let me tell you something. You are worth your weight in gold in the private sector. The biggest thing that you need to understand today walking out is do not under any circumstances sell yourself short. I had lunch yesterday with a retired ASAC, and another ASAC had told him this once before. 01:49:33:00 Everybody s afraid to jump off the high dive because they re not sure that they can swim. But let me tell you something. DEA has taught all of us how to swim. If you jump off the board you are going to survive and you are going to swim. It s just a matter of taking the skills that you know and begin to market yourself and how do you do that? 20
21 01:49:58:01 The next step is creating that resume. Some people charge you fifty bucks to create it. Some people charge you $500 to create it. But whatever you do create the resume because people are gonna want to see what you ve done and the skills that you can bring. 01:50:16:14 There s a lot of question about well is it one page, is it two page, is it four pages? It s very difficult to tell put twenty-eight years of your life into a one-page document. I suggest that you sit down and you do you re gonna do ten different drafts before you finally get it right and you feel comfortable. 01:50:35:16 Then you have to realize who is my target audience? If I m a support staff personnel and I want to go into a private law firm or if I want to go for Shell Oil Company or if I want to go work for Xerox, there may you may have to kind of adjust that resume for your target audience. 01:50:52:24 But coming out of the government, coming out of an agency like DEA and with the respect that we have in the outside world, you are going to be marketable 21
22 because they are looking for people with your discipline and with the knowledge that you have. Trust me, I ve seen it out there and I know. 01:51:13:15 So as I sit down with my financial consultant it s now beginning to move into January and February of Now I really have to start thinking about what am I going to do and walk out that door. So then I ve now got the numbers. I now know what it would I could earn potentially as a private investigator. 01:51:36:29 So then I begin to think about well what s my overhead gonna be? What about renting an office space? Do I actually need an office space? What are the tax advantages of setting up an office in my own home? What about a car? What about gas? What about different equipment? 01:51:55:12 Well guess what? Now you need to think about going to the next level, starting your own corporation. An S corporation or an LLC corporation because when you establish I personally have established an S corporation. You get the government government credit 22
23 card if you get your own personal credit card and you everything is now becoming a write off. 01:52:20:23 Your car, your gas, your office space, your computers, your lunches. This all becomes an expense to your S corporation which is taken off your personnel taxes. So you have to think about getting that accountant, and then you have to establish yourself as an S corporation if you re going to work for yourself. 01:52:42:11 That is a real tax advantage because all of a sudden all these cars, gas, all these different things that you were normally paying out of your own pocket your company s paying for it now, not you. So as I begin to run the numbers, establish the S corporation and I m provided then my financial consultant steps in and says listen, I love your business plan. 01:53:10:09 This is a great idea. Investigations, security and consulting. This is a great opportunity. Guess what? You can t do it. I say why? I gotta I think I have a pretty good plan here. Goes no. I want to do it. I said what are you talking about? He says I m hiring 23
24 you right now. You come to work for me, I m paying everything. 01:53:32:25 Go get an office, go get a car, go do this, go buy computers. You re working for me. I said but I was gonna work for myself. He says no. I want to do it. So then as we go into negotiations he says listen, I ll tell you what. You do the PI stuff because I m concerned about deep pocket law suits, things of that, and we will do the security and consulting side together. 01:53:53:03 Go get your own office, do this stuff. So I actually sit down with my financial consultant and end up with a job thus the McCloud Consulting Group. So now I begin to build the company, and I now have to consider marketing myself. How do you get somebody to walk in your door? So I m thinking and it s now becoming April. 01:54:13:00 It s time for me to let DEA know it s time for me to go. I think they could begin to tell by my attitude because I was getting a little sassy, you know. I was 24
25 actually beginning to question management. Imagine that, okay. I was telling people that their ideas were ridiculous, and they were looking at me like I had two heads because we come to this building and you don t want to ruffle feathers. 01:54:38:04 You don t want to be on anybody s bad side. You don t want to piss off a career board member. Okay. So everybody goes around the room in the 8:30 meeting. Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir. Boom to this. For those give me raise the hand for new staff coordinators who ve been at headquarters for less than a year. Okay. 01:54:56:08 This is directed to you. When you go to the 8:30 meeting, okay, and everybody goes around the room and we ve seen it time and time again. I can remember Joe Keefe who was, just came in after Ritchie Fiano, and he always liked to pick on one guy, and no matter what this poor guy, I won t mention his name but all the guys who have been here know who he is. 25
26 01:55:17:21 They would turn around and he would report 4,000 ki s of coke seized off the north coast of Haiti and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and everything went well. Joe Keefe would say how big was the boat? You know, what was the name of it? His stan it was like you could almost mouth what he was gonna say. I m sorry sir, I ll have to get back with you on that. 01:55:37:08 But it was just his way I mean and the key to success, and guys used to bust my chops at like eight thirty. They used to call me Dan Rather. But the key to success in the 8:30 meeting don t tell them everything. Only give them 75% of what you know because they ll come back and they ll ask you a question and you don t know the answer but you give them the other 25%. 01:56:00:10 Then they just move on. But you just have to be prepared for that because it s like they have to pick on somebody. They have to ask somebody a question. Then God forbid if you actually do too good of a job because then it turns into an AG note. All you wanted was maybe I can get by with an . 26
27 01:56:16:01 The turns into a blue note. But now I did such a good job at presenting this it s going to the Attorney General of the United States. So you gotta be careful as to how you present it and what you do. So I m at that point now where okay DEA, guess what? I m gonna leave. 01:56:32:14 It s time for me to retire. I m pulling the plug. June 25 th is gonna be my last day. Now, this is the tough part. I begin to mentally prepare myself for I m stopping twenty-eight years of my life, and I m walking out the door. So I ve now I m trying to be excited about this. I m going home to my family. I get to start a new career. It s now come to, it s that day. 01:57:02:23 It s Friday, June 25 th. Happens to be my daughter s birthday. I ve walked around. I ve shaken the hands. I ve said goodbye to everybody, hugs and kisses. The last guy that I saw was the security guy here at the front door. I m handing him my building pass. He goes Mike, what are you doing? 27
28 01:57:20:09 I shake his hand. I says listen, this is it. I m done, I m retiring today. He goes no, you re kidding me. I said no, I m done. So I lived two blocks away over at the River House, and I walked and I swear to you that was longest walk of my life. When I walked out this door it was one of the toughest days of my life. 01:57:39:29 I got to my apartment. My wife calls me on the cell phone. She goes how you doing? I said I can t talk. I cannot talk about it. I literally sat in my apartment and I started crying. I mean it was the toughest thing you ll ever experience because you are not only leaving your friends for the past five years or in some cases twenty-eight years that you ve known these people. 01:58:04:15 And you re moving on and you re starting a new chapter of your life, and don t underestimate the emotional impact it s gonna have on you and on your family. So I remember going to bed that night and up the next morning and it was like an awakening. I was a new 28
29 man. I mean I didn t regret a thing. I ve got my bags. I can t wait to get to the airport. 01:58:28:05 I m on a mission. I get home. It s a beautiful sunny day and life is good. I am so excited to get home I can t believe it. For the first month my wife just kept leaning over touching me at night. You re really here. You re really here. I said I m home. This is it. Best thing I did, and I highly recommend this to everyone. I took six weeks vacation. Sick leave, vacation time, whatever. 01:58:55:12 However your bosses let you do it take some vacation time. Decompress, relax. You ve earned it. You ve been working for twenty, twenty-five, thirty years. Take four or five weeks vacation. If you get a job tell them I m quitting in June. I ll start in August, you know. 01:59:15:23 You re gonna get that big, fat retirement check, and you re gonna be able to walk away with fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty thousand dollars. That will get you through it. But enjoy life. Take your 29
30 family on a vacation. Do something fun because it s your reward for what you ve done. 01:59:32:10 That s the best thing that I did. I took six weeks. I went to the beach. We went on vacations. I mean I just had a great time. Went white water rafting in North Carolina. I went to Vegas, did a little gambling. I had a great time. 01:59:45:19 Because guess what? August 1 st comes around and I m getting ready to start a new job. I was so excited that first day. I ve got my office. I ve got my desk. I ve got my new computer. I ve got the phones in. I mean I am ready to go. Now it s the first day and I m at my desk. I ve had my bagel, I ve had my soda. 02:00:06:09 I m waiting for the phone to ring. (Laughter) Now what? So I m thinking okay. I gotta make sure people know that I m here. So I got the business cards. So I just casually run into some attorneys, and I say hey, here s my business card. Just to let you know I m in town. You re kidding me, Mike. 30
31 02:00:27:16 We didn t know you retired. I said well, I m just kind of starting in business, and I was my biggest fear is I didn t want too many people to start calling me because I didn t really know what I was gonna do and how I was gonna do it. 02:00:39:22 So I m a little nervous. So then comes the first phone call. Two days later, Wednesday, nine o clock attorney calls me. Mike, I need you over here right away. Okay, the alarms going off. I m ready. Grab the notebook, out the door, over to the attorney s office, and I m in a coat and tie. I m all pressed down. I m looking sharp. 02:00:59:01 The first thing the attorney says, who the hell are you trying to impress? I said well you know, maintain professional image, retired DEA guy, grade 15, you know, maintain. He says hey. Tommy Bahama golf shirts. We don t wear suits around here. 02:01:15:14 I said this is music to my ears because the idea of having to wear suits in South Florida especially in 31

What You Seek
- Artist: Phonofly
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 2/27/2007
|your cart is empty
** While supplies last, receive a FREE copy of the Phonofly Remixes album with your purchase of 'What You Seek' (allow 4-6 weeks for delivery) ** 'Phonofly's first album, 'What You Seek,' is a testament to...sound blend[ing]... The album's title track, display[s] a knack for catchy hooks...' -Monterey Herald "The reggae variant of ska has seen many treatments, from the laidback, beachy mode to the zoot-suited, lounge-lizard sort. Both sides get covered in Phonofly's snappy songs. Crisp rim shots come direct from the Caribbean, but thrumming bass lines and tremulous vocals beg to differ." -Download.com Editor's Review '[The] creative arrangement [of the album's title track, 'What You Seek,' features] intriguing transitions...keeps the listeners on their toes, so to speak.' -TAXI If you're looking for a band that fits the mold, you won't find it in Phonofly. One of these things is not like the other - each member of the San Francisco-based four-piece possesses a distinctly different musical background and none of them feels the need to bend their style to fit Phonofly's sound. So what are they - rock, neo-soul, ska? Well, a little bit of each, culminating in what the Monterey Herald calls a 'unique pop experience.' Singer/lyricist Steph Stolorow formed the band in early 2005 with the initial idea of combining rock and urban sounds, in part influenced by her stint as DJ BubLRap - thus electric guitar and sampling coalesced into a backdrop for Stolorow's varied delivery in the early stages of the band. Her delivery still varies - 'smooth, grooving, lush vocals' (indie-music.com) that can go from ethereal melody weaving to sultry lounge singing to rhyme spitting all in one set - indicative of the varied styles which embody the group as a whole. But, Phonofly's sound has evolved into something that no hybridized genre can peg down, and the diverse lineup boasts just one of the original lineup's members besides Stolorow - Doug Major's unique progressions and impressive solo work continue to texture Phonofly's soundscape, and his writing collaborations with Stolorow have produced some of the group's most popular songs, such as the single 'Natural Disaster,' set to release in early 2008. Justin Miller's driving bass lines have been described as 'more studied than what you'd expect to hear from a local multi-genre outfit' (East Bay Express) and his background in funk and R&B shines through in being just that. Miller also takes credit for recruiting drummer Jayme Arredondo, whose reggae-inspired backbeat provides the 'swagger and danceable rhythm needed to support [Phonofly's] sound' (Performer Magazine). Phonofly's music, in a sense reflective of the vibrant population of their Bay Area home base, is refreshingly rich in it's creativity and can be heard on their debut album, 'What You Seek.' If you like your rock 'with a twist' (indie-music.com), this you will find in Phonofly.

The Lotus Evora nameplate will exist in the British company's line-up for a few more years yet, with a new revised model currently being planned. The new Evora will be unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
Lotus CEO, Dany Bahar, said the new model would get 147 changes, all of which will be aimed at improving the overall quality of the Evora. Bahar said in a recent Auto Express report, the "priority is to improve the quality, to give the car a soul".
The changes are likely to include a new interior with higher quality finishes and materials, a new exhaust creating a distinct sports car sound, and a slicker transmission.
Other changes include the introduction of new showroom variants. Lotus is planning a cabriolet version, which will share its roof mechanism technology with the upcoming Espirt carbrio, as well as a focused high-performance version.
The high-end sports version will feature a supercharged 3.5-litre V6 producing around 298kW of power. Reports say the model will have a similar focus as the Lotus Evora GT race car, only more suitable for the road.
In October, Lotus is also planning on unveiling a working hybrid Evora concept which will use two electric motors and a 1.2-litre three-cylinder hybrid powertrain. The ultra-fuel efficient model is set for release sometime in 2013.

To activate your license for the first time, you need to pay your first time registration fee within 90 days of your license issue date. To maintain an active license you will need to renew your registration annually.
At this time, initial Acupuncture registration may not be completed online. Acupuncturists can complete subsequent renewals online 60 days prior to expiration. Registration reminders will be sent out via postal service at least 60 days in advance of the expiration date.
Once the Board has issued you an official license number, you will have 90 days to register and activate your license. Initial registration is completed via hardcopy forms sent to the licensee shortly after issuance and subsequent renewals can be completed online.
First Registration Fee $171.25 - $420.63
The Board assigns a first registration period. These vary in length from 6 to 15 months. First time registration fees are prorated accordingly. Subsequent registrations will be one year in length and will be due on the same day each year.
Fee Rates:
First registration of 6 months - $171.25
First registration of 9 months - $254.38
First registration of 12 months - $337.50
First registration of 15 months - $420.63
The current fee for subsequent registrations is $333.50 per year. This rate can be changed by the legislature, however, at any time in the future.
Online registration:
At this time, initial Acupuncture registration may not be completed online.
No financial information is seen, processed, or stored by the Texas Medical Board.
The payment portion of the online registration system is handled by Texas.gov, the official website of Texas. The price of this service includes funds that support the ongoing operations and enhancements of Texas.gov, which is provided by a third party in partnership with the State. Texas.gov will remit the amount paid to the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners on your behalf.
Please note that as of 9/1/2015 Texas.gov will charge a different amount depending on the type of online payment service used.
Ex: $333.50 Registration fee due
$341.26 Total amount charged on credit card
Ex: $333.50 Registration fee due
$333.75 Total amount charged through electronic check
Non-online (paper) registration:
An additional processing fee of $50 will be charged to those licensees who choose to register through a paper form, when an online option is available. If an online option is not available (ex: license is delinquent or suspended at the time of registration) the additional processing fee will not be required.
To request a hard copy registration form, please contact the Registration Department at email@example.com or (512) 305-7030.
Delinquency fees
There is no grace period for the expiration date of an acupuncture license. Once the expiration date has occurred, penalty fee equal to one half of the registration fee will be added. After 90 days, the penalty fee will increase to equal a full registration fee. If a license has been expired for one year or longer it is automatically cancelled.
Please note that the Board does not have a "zero balance receipt" that shows that a licensee has a zero balance or that licensee registration has been paid in full, nor can we provide an individualized billing statement of the amount due to complete license registration/renewal.
Online Registration:
Please remember that the payment portion of the online registration system is handled by Texas.gov, the official website of Texas. A printable receipt will be provided at the end of the online registration process. In addition, a confirmation of payment receipt will be emailed to the address given as part of the Texas.gov payment process.

Seton Hall University embraces the principle that effective and
meaningful assessment is an integral part of the educational process.
This principle is at the heart of our commitment to meet our
responsibilities to our students, professions, and the communities that
we serve. University Assessment Site »
The Department of Undergraduate Theology serves a fundamentally two-fold purpose. First, it provides part of the intellectual formation of men preparing for the Roman Catholic priesthood by offering the theological completion of the foundations laid by the instruction of the Department of Philosophical Theology in both the Bachelor of Arts in Catholic Theology program and the Pre-Theology program of the Seminary School of Theology. Its mission and the content of its program are in accordance with the wishes of the Holy See and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as articulated in the Program of Priestly Formation, 5th edition. Second, it provides Seton Hall's undergraduate theological education for students of any career interest or track through a degree and minor program suited for those who desire to learn the Catholic intellectual tradition as well as to deepen an informed faith.
The basic objectives of the courses in the department are:

John Glenn fever gripped Cape Canaveral on Friday, just as it did half a century ago when America was on the verge of launching its first man into orbit.
Hundreds of NASA workers jammed a space center auditorium, three days before the 50th anniversary of Glenn's historic flight, to see and hear the first American to circle the Earth. Then journalists got a crack at Glenn, ever patient at describing his momentous flight aboard Friendship 7 and the decades since.
Glenn, 90, was joined at both events by Scott Carpenter, 86, the only other survivor of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, as the weekend of anniversary festivities began.
Glenn said he recollects the flight so often it seems like it took place just a couple of weeks ago. He and Carpenter visited their old launch pad, Complex 14; it was from the blockhouse there that Carpenter called out "Godspeed John Glenn" before the rocket ignited.
The national attention then was "almost unbelievable," Glenn said, adding that he and his colleagues learned to live with the acclaim "or tried to anyway."
The early 1960s were a magical time in Cape Canaveral and adjoining Cocoa Beach, Carpenter said. "Everyone was behind us. The whole nation was behind what we were doing," he said.
Glenn's Friendship 7 capsule circled Earth three times on Feb. 20, 1962. Carpenter followed aboard Aurora 7 on May 24, 1962.
They were the third and fourth Americans to rocket into space. Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom flew short suborbital missions in 1961, the same year the Soviet Union launched two cosmonauts into orbit on separate shots.
Today, Glenn and Carpenter will reunite with more than 100 retirees who worked on Project Mercury. On Monday, the actual anniversary, Glenn will be feted at The Ohio State University; its school of public affairs bears his name.
Glenn said he's uncertain how he'll mark the exact time of liftoff — 9:47 a.m. — come Monday. He admitted sometimes forgetting to mark the precise moment in the past. But not for this golden one, "for sure."
