MPA Student Advances Career with Internship
While many students enjoyed a summer full of barbecues and beach trips, MPA student Kevin Forgett was hard at work, pursuing his career dreams.
"You work too long not to do what you love," said Forgett, who hopes to become a town administrator one day.
In May, Forgett started a three-month internship with the town of Pembroke, Massachusetts. Working closely with Town Administrator Ed Thorne, Forgett was asked to draft a five-year capital and operational plan for all town departments.
Although the task was rife with challenges, Forgett was prepared to tackle it head on. He had already completed a full year in the Sawyer Business School's Master of Public Administration program. Courses like Managing Financial Resources and Grant Writing and Management, offered an important foundation for him to get started on the project.
"I think every class that I had taken up to that point had certainly provided great theoretical framework for me to then go apply in an internship like this. I don't think I would have been able to gain as much if I had only been through a couple classes or one semester," he said.
Forgett met with town department heads to identify their goals for the next five years. His plan offers feasible, innovative ways to improve department efficiency and make services more accessible to residents. For many departments, that means embracing new technology and making more services available online.
At the end of his internship, Forgett presented the plan to the Board of Selectmen. "It was very well received," he said. The next step is to find funding.
Forgett hopes the experience will help him land a position as an assistant town manager after he graduates in December. "Networking is so important because public management is a tough field to break into," he said. Having connections can really help you stand apart from other job candidates, he added.
Thorne in particular played a key role in Forgett's experience and will likely be a lifelong mentor. "Ed was fantastic. I think the most valuable part of the internship was shadowing him. He taught me something new every single day," Forgett said.
Forgett also plans to stay connected to Sawyer Business School after he graduates, possibly serving as a mentor or guest lecturer in the future. "I have already benefited so much from the MPA program, and I look forward to giving back after I graduate," he said.

Let me start by saying that these cottages are also listed with FlipKey as vacation rentals and as such can only be reviewed when invited by the owners. In my opinion, this does not lead to accurate reviews as vacationers who had a less than stellar experience are not invited to submit a review.
We originally booked a cottage as a last minute 10 night stay...we were already in the Dominican Republic and decided to go to Las Galeras and saw the cottages online and read the information as well as visiting the website.
Your Arrival:
**The website claimed 5 minute walk to beach when in reality it was a 20 minute walk...you couldn't walk any quicker because you had to watch out for the ruts and holes...not to mention the tarantulas and poisonous centipides. A gate had to be unlocked and then locked again. Not my idea of a short stroll to the beach!
**The website claimed wifi internet access when in reality the host has an internet business claiming most of the bandwith and access. We were literally told we could not download ANYTHING and could use our laptop for email only.
**The cottages themselves are charming although comfort has been lost by the creators wishes to provide a "unique" experience. Safety has been compromised in order to have a "showcase". Case in point...the stairway is made of steps set into a tree trunk with the tree trunk sticking out of the top by 6 inches...any inattention would lead to a nasty spill. Kitchen counter held up by a forked tree branch...still have the bruises from that! Cold water ONLY spills from a shell in the bathroom sink....got it...your cottages are cute...now can I have the TV within viewing distance of the couch....NO! TV about 25 feet from the TV suspended from the ceiling.
**Chairs and furniture since made of local wood are very uncomfortable.
Beds were quite comfortable and well set up, however the hosts let out there 2 Great Danes at night and between them communicating with the local dogs and the merengue music...good luck sleeping. The local dogs and music...start about 8 p.m. and then the Great Danes add to the cacophony a while later.
Speaking of pets, one of the great attractions is Kong the masturbating squirrel monkey. He''s not gay tho' so he only likes women....really likes women! In fact, once he found out you were around he would visit...alot! If you tried to get rid of him he bit...alot. But he's vaccinated so no problem according to our hosts! He drew blood with a nice set of teeth marks in 2 places on my hand.
**I realize not much can follow Kong but the secure safe's offered on the website? Owner couldn't figure out how to work them so the code is the same and can't be changed on all of them...1,2,3,4,5,* Really secure!!!
The hostess Sarah tries her best and really knows the area but is definitely not an experienced hotelier. Her husband Danilo, is a different sort of case....the inhospitable innkeeper! Their house is on site, however it is OFF LIMITS to guests...even in they try to approach to ask a question. On our third afternoon my husband approached the house to ask a question...after 4 p.m....so siesta was not an issue. He opened the gate, played with the Great Danes a bit and knocked on the door. Our "host" did not like this and took exception to my husband's presence on his property and let him know in no uncertain terms and several times that "This is MY house...you do not come to MY house...while escorting him off HIS property."
My husband, who does not have an enemy in the world but is a loudmouth schnook to quote Foghorn Leghorn, finally got irritated at the repetitiveness of our host's tirade and told him he understood, to[--] off and turned to leave...this led to alot of swearing from our host, the appearance of the host's loco father, more swearing, loco father swearing, shaking his fist and approaching my husband to initiate physical contact. Our host told us he didn't need our money and to get the [--]off his property.
Other Comments:
I don't know, but it seems to me that if you're operating a tourist business and renting cabins for 100 euros or so a night that you might want to have a welcoming environment or at least warn your guests not to approach your house to ask a question.
We packed up and left because we were asked to, but did not receive a full refund which I am working on with my credit card company. We continued to Las Terrenas and found an aparthotel which was fabulous and welcoming with no issues whatsoever.
In short, this experience was very interesting and after having traveled extensively was "unique". The owners obviously love the area and have gone to great pains to create a life there....too bad all the positive vibes are erased by an arrogant and inhospitable host.

I'm getting confused about the role word splitting plays in
zsh. I have not been exposed to this concept when programming in C, Python or MATLAB, and this has triggered my interest of why word splitting seems to be something specific to shell programming.
I have read about word splitting on this and other sites before, but haven't found a clear explanation of the concept. Wikipedia has a definition of word splitting but does not seem to have references on how it applies to Unix shells.
Here's an example of my confusion in
In the Z Shell FAQ, I read the following:
3.1: Why does
var="foo bar"not do what I expect?
In most Bourne-shell derivatives, multiple-word variables such as
var="foo bar"are split into words when passed to a command or used in a
for foo in $varloop. By default, zsh does not have that behaviour: the variable remains intact. (This is not a bug! See below.) The option
SH_WORD_SPLITexists to provide compatibility.
However, in the Z Shell Manual, I read the following:
SH_WORD_SPLIT (-y) <K> <S>
Causes field splitting to be performed on unquoted parameter expansions. Note that this option has nothing to do with word splitting. (See Parameter Expansion.)
Why does it say that
SH_WORD_SPLIT has nothing to do with word splitting? Isn't word splitting precisely what this is all about?

Here is more proof Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez could be dating again.
"omg! Insider" correspondent Christina McLarty got a first hand look at the seating chart for Sunday's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and, as of now, it looks like Gomez and Bieber are going to be right next to each other! In the photo taken by McLarty above, you can see the "Come & Get It" singer's pretty face sitting next to her beau. At these type of events it is easy to request a seat far away from an ex you have bad blood with — just ask Taylor Swift.
Gomez, 20, and Bieber, 19, have been spotted together multiple times this week upon the "Boyfriend" singer's return to Los Angeles. On Tuesday morning, the "Spring Breakers" actress was photographed leaving Bieber's Calabasas home. Then later Tuesday night, E! News spotted the on-again, off-again couple holding hands while partying together at Supperclub in Hollywood.
Guess Gomez isn't as single and "available in every way" as she claimed earlier this week!
Still, actions speak louder than words, so hopefully we will get a clue as to what exactly is going on between Bieber and Gomez at the Billboard Music Awards this weekend. After all, this is the same awards show where the young duo shared one of their more infamous and public kisses at!

At the end of the Indy 500, the winner takes a traditional sip of milk, sponsored by the American Dairy Association. And last night we learned they're hardcore on what exactly you're allowed to drink. If you win and are lactose intolerant, be prepared to have to shit like a race horse.
Before the race, every driver (yes, even Jacques Villeneuve), picks their "milk preference" so in case they make it to victory lane, they get their favorite dairy beverage to pour down their gullets or on their heads.
The tradition started when 1936 winner Louis Meyer requested a bottle of buttermilk to drink in Victory Lane. Apparently, that's not one of the varietals you can get anymore. Last night, 500 champ Ryan Hunter-Reay told us over drinks that his teammate James Hinchcliffe had requested buttermilk but was totally denied. He went with skim instead.
And what about flavored milk? No way Jose. We were told that someone asked for chocolate milk and was told that won't be happening. And if you're lactose intolerant, there's no almond milk or soy milk. You could do what Emerson Fittipaldi did in 1993 and drink orange juice from your own groves, but he has been ridiculed and heckled by fans ever since.
What that means is you'll take a sip and then have to run off for some celebratory terlet activities. Or you could just pour the milk on your head so the warm Indiana sun can make you smell like a terrible barnyard. Your choice.

Broberg, who emerged victorious at the Finnish Challenge last week with an imperious six shot win, threatened to run away with his second title in as many weeks when he negotiated the front nine at Byneset GK in an incredible seven under par.That included two eagles, at the par five first and par five seventh, and birdies at the third, fourth and sixth at the Trondheim venue.
He picked up another shot at the 13th hole to move four shots clear of the field but a wayward second shot which resulted in a bogey at the par five 17th, allied with a late rally from playing partner Alvaro Velasco, meant Broberg finished the day just a single shot clear of the Spaniard."I played really well on the front nine and I was delighted to reach the turn in 29 but I was driving quite badly on the back nine so that cost me," said Broberg, who won a 54-hole satellite tour event in Norway last year with a stunning overall score of 25 under par.
"I was hitting the ball really well early on and I holed a few putts so it was nice. I hit a nice drive on the first hole and a three wood to eight metres and holed it. Then I hit driver and rescue to four metres at the seventh and holed that too so it was nice to play so well at the par fives."I just didn't trust the driver on the back nine. I had no confidence in the driver and that affected my confidence with other parts of my game so I'm going to work on that tomorrow.
"I'm still really confident going into tomorrow because I'm hitting my irons really well and putting well. It would be great to get another win on the board."Velasco, meanwhile, looked to be out of the contest as he was six shots off the pace at the turn after bogies at the fourth and fifth holes offset his birdies at the first and seventh but a superb five under par back nine launched him right back into the hunt for a third Challenge Tour title.
"The back nine was really nice," said the 2010 Challenge Tour Rankings winner. "I got some momentum going and it was great to finish like that."Kristoffer was doing amazing and got off to such a great start. I struggled a little bit on the front nine so I needed a good back nine to have a chance tomorrow because I was so far behind. I'm really happy with the position I'm in now though and it's going to be close tomorrow but really enjoyable."
Oliver Wilson is still in with a chance of securing a first career title but he slipped four shots back having led overnight alongside Velasco, after a two under par 70 left him on 16 under par.
The former Ryder Cup player had a positive front nine with four birdies and a bogey helping him to a three under par front nine but he struggled on the way back and bogeys at the 11th and 18th along with a birdie at the 17th meant he finished the day in third place.The highest placed Norwegian going into the final day was amateur Anders Engell, who wowed the crowds with a seven under par round of 65, which elevated him 27 places up the field into tied sixth on 14 under par, while England's Matthew Southgate carded the best round of the day with a nine under par 63 moving him to sixth place alongside Engell having begun the day in 56th spot.

PBA Oil Patterns (AKA Lane Conditions)
When watching the PBA pros, you may think, "Hey, I bowled a 210 before, I can be a pro too." It's not as easy as it looks. There's something that significantly changes the playing surface. Something you can't see: Oil.
In the early days of bowling, oil conditioner was applied to the lane as a barrier to protect the surface from damage over years of use.
As lacquer, polyurethane and synthetic surfaces became more popular, oil became part of the sport.
Today, PBA members must continuously adjust their strategies and methods of attacking the challenging conditions of the PBA Tour.
PBA Lane Maintenance Philosophy
The PBA Lane Maintenance Program (LMP) exists to balance the many complicated variables associated with cleaning and conditioning lanes during multi-day PBA tournaments. For all regular events on the PBA Tour, PBA Regional Tour and PBA50 Tour, one or more of the PBA's patterns will be used at any given tournament. These patterns make up the "Official Playing Conditions of the PBA Tour."

The Middle Of Washington DC Is Not The Middle Of The Country
I'll give the Republican Party some credit, they may not know how to govern, but they sure as hell know how to hoodwink the media and the Democrats in DC into believing that their radical notions are "mainstream".
The Democrats now control Congress and 63% of the American people want to see them bring an end to the occupation of Iraq and yet the winner in the standoff over continuing to fund the occupation is won by the discredited neo-cons led by a President with a 28% approval rating! And we wonder why more people don't vote.
Sure, cutting off funding for the Iraq occupation is risky, but it's not insurmountable. The risk is that the White House will beat Democrats over the head with the "you don't support the troops" stick, but who cares? Aren't they doing that anyway? And who the hell still believes the Bush administration on anything, especially the war?!
What the Democrats don't seem to understand is that the American people are behind them. 63% of Americans want a timetable for withdrawal, exactly what the Democrats were attempting to do with the last funding bill that the President vetoed. 63% of the country isn't the "anti-war base of the Democratic Party" no matter how many times Chris Matthews, Howard Fineman and the rest of the yak-heads say it. We are not a fringe group, that's a term better applied to the 20 percenters still supporting this President and his disastrous war.
The problem is that the Democrats have bought into the rules of engagement that the Republicans set up while they were in power. We're begging you, please, wake up! In case you missed it, you're in power now, you get to make the rules, and for Christ's sake, stop believing that you need Republican votes to win! You don't. What you do need is to hold onto moderate Democrats and you need to sway Independents to win elections, but guess what? You've done that. You don't have to convince voters that you're on the on right side of this issue, you're the only ones confused on this point.
Understand that the only people still supporting this war are 75% of Republicans! The moderates and Independents have already joined you so quit acting like the underdog! We're all standing here, in the Middle, using our binoculars to see you, but you're still a spot on the horizon to our right. Accept that you've been duped by the right wing fringe and start walking (sprinting) left toward the center. You are our Representatives and we're waiting for you to represent us. All the distant yelling is coming from the middle, you're just having a hard time hearing us from all the way over there.

VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Important Notes
1) While it is our intention to follow the itinerary as advertised, some modifications to the itinerary are occasionally needed if water levels become very low. If changes need to be made, they may involve docking the boat just before a scheduled port and using overland transportation to reach the destination.
Due to laws in the state of Bihar that have banned the sale and consumption of alcohol, you will be unable to purchase alcoholic drinks on this cruise.
Depending on the lunar cycle, Ramadan will fall between May 15th and June 14th, 2018. Please note that Ramadan is a month of fasting observed by Muslims throughout the world, during which time the followers of Islam should not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. Only about 20% of Indians are Muslim, but it is important to note that there may be some limitations to services and disruptions to schedules during Ramadan. Generally our tours still operate effectively during this period and food is available to non-muslims throughout the day. It is important to display increased cultural sensitivity during Ramadan in predominately Muslim areas of India. Please wear loose fitting clothes, that cover knees and shoulders, and try to avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public out of respect for those who can't at that time.

Solo Travellers
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.

Visas and Entry Requirements
As of 2017, India is now offering E-Visas for most nationalities. Please visit the link below for further information and to apply:
As there are many fake websites, please only use the above to apply for your E-Visa and for any additional information.
Please use the start hotel of your tour as a reference for your visa application. Contact us or your travel agent if you need further information.
**Please note that visas for India are the responsibility of the individual traveller. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. For the most up to date information please check your governments foreign ministry website or with you travel agent as rules do change. It is important that you check for yourself. For most travellers there will probably be an embassy and consulate in the country that you live in.
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Please note that it is customary to tip 10% to service staff in India. If someone helps you carry a bag, you can offer to tip a few USD (in local currency), although it will not be expected. If you have a local guide or a driver on your trip, then you will be advised to tip $2-5 USD (in local currency) per person per service, as long as you feel it is deserved, which it usually is because we have excellent staff working with us. Please ask your CEO for specific advice if you are unsure.
If at the end of the riverboat sailing you find the staff onboard were exceptional, a tip of $5-10 USD/day is recommended. You can leave this tip at the end of your riverboat leg.
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is highly appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $20-30 USD per person, per week can be used.
Optional Activities
No optional activities
Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medication required. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
For your own safety, we strongly recommend that you advise us of any medical condition that may affect you while traveling.
If you are carrying any prescribed medication, or if you have any particular health needs, please bring with you a signed and dated letter from your physician stating any such health problems and dosage requirements for any medication to be provided to any medical authorities in case of an emergency.
Also, please note that if you are particularly sensitive to heat, this may not be the trip for you.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.
Planeterra-The G Adventures Foundation
The Planeterra Foundation planeterra.org is a Canadian non-profit organization that helps empower local people to develop their communities, conserve their cultures, and create humane and supportive systems for their endeavours. Planeterra provides capacity building and catalyst grants to get community social enterprises off the ground. These businesses address local challenges by providing benefits for indigenous people, empowering marginalized women, and granting disadvantaged youth access to education, employment, and brighter futures. Planeterra also works to ensure these businesses have a thriving customer base by integrating programs into G Adventures' itineraries globally.
G Adventures is Planeterra's largest corporate donor, covering all operating costs so 100% of your donation will bring opportunity to people in need.
Dollar-a-Day Program
G Adventures' Dollar-a-Day Program provides travellers with the opportunity to give back to the people and places visited on our tours by donating one dollar for every day you are on trip. 100% of these donations go directly to support community development projects worldwide that are implemented by Planeterra.
Local Dress
In Asia the dress standard is more conservative than it is back home. When packing try to pick loose, lightweight, long clothing that will keep you cool in the usually hot and humid climate of Asian summers. In predominately Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim countries we ask that you dress respectfully and avoid very short shorts/skirts and singlets/tanktops when visiting temples or mosques or other holy sites.
After your travels, we want to hear from you! Your feedback information is so important to us that we'll give you 5% off the price of your next G Adventures trip if your feedback is completed on-line within 30 days of finishing your trip. Your tour evaluation will be e-mailed to you 24 hours after the conclusion of your trip. If you do not receive the tour evaluation link in the days after your tour has finished, please drop us a line at email@example.com and we will send it on to you.

We've tested our PowerLink™ belts in a variety of vehicles and riding conditions to ensure high performance, exceptional durability, and smooth acceleration.
If it Moves, it Probably Moves with Gates.

Read our equal opportunity employer statement - United States
Ericsson provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, parental status, national origin, ethnic background, age, disability, political opinion, social status, veteran status, union membership or genetics.
Ericsson complies with applicable country, state and all local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment in every location across the world in which the company has facilities. In addition, Ericsson supports the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights and the United Nations Global Compact.
This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, training and development.
Ericsson expressly prohibits any form of workplace harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, parental status, national origin, ethnic background, age, disability, political opinion, social status, veteran status, union membership or genetic information.

Labor condition application posting notices - United States
Pursuant to Department of Labor regulation 20 CFR 655.734, Ericsson Inc. is providing notice to potentially affected workers that H-1B workers are beeing sought at the worksites listed below. All labor condition applications are avaliable for public inspection at our administrative headquarters for immigration matters located at:
6300 Legacy Drive
Plano, Texas 75024
Complaints alleging misrepresentation of material facts in the labor condition application and/or failure to comply with the terms of the labor condition application may be filed with any office of the Wage and Hour Division of the United Stated Department of Labor.
Important notice: fraudulent job offers
It has come to our attention that emails and job adverts have been created and circulated by unknown individuals for the purpose of attempting to defraud candidates.
Potential candidates should be wary of approaches that appear to be offering a job for which they have not applied, especially if personal details or money must be sent in order to proceed with the recruitment. Neither Ericsson nor any commissioned third parties recruit in this manner. Such approaches are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to gain details of identity for illegal use.
Ericsson is taking all necessary steps to investigate this matter further.

Monday began with Urban Meyer politicking for Ohio State, but the noise out of Columbus didn't stop there.
Here's Ohio State wide receiver Evan Spencer throwing out some bulletin board material — although it's only bulletin board material if Ohio State actually gets to play in the BCS Championship:
Ohio State WR Evan Spencer on Alabama and FSU: "I think we'd wipe the floor with both of them."
— Ryan Ginn (@RyanGinnBSB) November 11, 2013
Having confidence is fine, but maybe don't say you'd "wipe the floor" with college football's two best teams if you beat the only currently-ranked opponent on your schedule by seven.
Ohio State hasn't lost a game since Urban Meyer took over in 2012. That's a great accomplishment. And Ohio State's win over Wisconsin is a very good one, since it should be the Badgers' only loss of the season. By Bill Connelly's S&P+ numbers, it's the best win an undefeated team has all year.
On the other hand, both Alabama and FSU won extremely difficult road games (at Texas A&M, at Clemson) and picked up quality wins against solid teams at home (LSU, Miami). Sagarin rates Ohio State's strength of schedule 81st, behind FSU (62) and Alabama (42). Baylor's SOS is likely to jump from No. 96 with games against Texas and Oklahoma State left.
Anyways, back to the original point: Spencer may feel as if Ohio State would crush Alabama or FSU, but he and his Buckeyes will need some help to get that chance.

There was also Adobe Premiere, and that was OK too, but very few professional editors were using it. Eventually Sony bought a small company in Wisconsin and took over their nascent editing program, which was called Vegas.

In writing about VFX, I'm sometimes guilty of describing perhaps in too simple terms how a shot or sequence goes from concept to final. There are, of course, so many steps along the way, and I was intrigued how perhaps just one department, such as compositing, handles its part of the process.

What is an animated film? Type that question into Google, and the first response you'll see comes from FilmSite: "Animated Films are ones in which individual drawings, paintings, or illustrations are photographed frame by frame (stop-frame cinematography). Usually, each frame differs slightly from the one preceding it, giving the illusion of movement when frames are projected in rapid succession at 24 frames per second."

I would be hard-pressed to admit that I don't love Resolve — because I do. It's been a pleasure to watch it grow from "just" color-grading software to a leading NLE. However, every so often, I come across a feature that doesn't like to respond to my request, which feels like your favorite dog chewing up a prized possession.

Alejandro Tarre necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 68 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
my site is alejandrotarre.com
I am writer/journalist that writes fiction, essays, articles, book reviews, etc. I designed my website to put in one place everything I write.
I write a lot about Latin American politics, so my audience should be hungry-for-politics newspaper-reading people who closely follow Latin America. Wish I could be more precise but I haven't polled my audience yet. However, I don't necessarily want a design that says "I love politics".
-The uploaded image should be 960x140 (960px wide by 140px high)
-I want something simple, smart and elegant, but not pretentious (I don't want pencils, ink, newspaper print or pens). I want the banner to work very well with the rest of the web site (colors, design, gray part below the banner, etc).
-The main text should say "alejandrotarre.com" (like it says now), but you can use my name Alejandro Tarre (in addition to the main text) if you think it would help your design.
-Not too crowded or too busy. I am inclined towards a less-is-more approach.
-In regards to color, I would guess I am inclined towards a black/white/gray design. But I would love to see some touches of color that harmonize smoothly with the rest of the website and makes it more lively.
Again, my objective is that the website works well as a whole and is very pleasing to see -wherever that leads in terms of color. I don't know if there is a way designers can do this, but I would like to see how the banner works with the rest of the site (not just the banner).
PLEASE, read my comments in the designs that have already been submitted.
UPDATE: I am seeing a lot of grey-and-grey designs (the banner is grey and the part below the banner is also grey). This is not a requisite!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit against Obama administration officials for the 2011 drone-strike killings of three U.S. citizens in Yemen, including an al-Qaida cleric.
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer said the case raises serious constitutional issues and is not easy to answer, but that "on these facts and under this circuit's precedent," the court will grant the Obama administration's request.
The suit was against then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, then-CIA Director David Petraeus and two commanders in the military's Special Operations forces.
Permitting a lawsuit against individual officials "under the circumstances of this case would impermissibly draw the court into `the heart of executive and military planning and deliberation,'" said Collyer. She said the suit would require the court to examine national security policy and the military chain of command as well as operational combat decisions regarding the designation of targets and how best to counter threats to the United States.
The government has argued that the issue is best left to Congress and the executive branch, not judges, and that courts have recognized that the defense of the nation should be left to those political branches
U.S.-born al-Qaida leader Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, an al-Qaida propagandist, were killed in a drone strike in September 2011. Al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, was killed the following month.
Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers wrote:"It is by my order and for the good of the state that the bearer has done what has
been done."

As for the posts above, it's recommended that you watch the series first. I'll move you in no way you can imagine. The movie is from a different perspective and will completely throw you off if you don't watch the series first. The series tends to be more genuine and true when compared to the movie because there's the romance element inside it. The series focuses more on drama instead.

The 1000th Summer ~
Question abt Air
Well I finished this series in a day and was really touched.. =.= well every romance anime I watched I've been touched.. but ya anyways... I saw the movie too and the result of poor Misuzu is the same .. any rumors that they going to have another season of Air? Because the story still have lots of plothole.. like Yukito still didn't freed Kanna and well I think most think that Misuzu is an incarnation of Kanna but Yukito didn't freed her in the end.. and what happened to Yukito.. turned to a crow? ...

Koi is definitely better, they give translation notes... which I think every translator should do, I've seen such horrible translation over the years... I'm not fluent but there's still so many poor translations out there that aren't even fansubs! Nobody seems to know about japanese culture, but Koi goes so far as to show people about certain customs.

I just discovered this anime from watching someone's AMV... it was beautiful so it got me interested in checking out this show. I've only watched the first episode so far. I know this question might seem irrelevant and probably dumb, but I wanted to know:- how old are Yukito and Misuzu? He seems a bit old..

*roar* *grr* *foams at mouth*
I gave the cds with air on 'em to a friend, and now all of you have got me wanting to watch it again. *evil eye* *ROAR*
In order to be somewhat productive:
Anyone know what significance feathers have in Japanese myth, etc.?
Is the girl in the sky story based on existing Japanese folklore?
What would be the easiest way of getting the game (I take it it is for the ps2...?) I suppose I'd like the not-hgame, since I'd like to keep the innocent image I have of the girls glued in my head?
Does the game's story augment, set up, match, the movie/ series?
Anyone know of a way to d/l the manga? (I'm not sure how this fits in to the fansubbing thing, so feel free to reprimand me if I am at fault for asking)
Also, 1000th summer? I'm almost positive this should have been asked and answered already, but still wanting to know.
Sorry if I repeated things that were previously asked and if my questions really don't warrant an answer, but I feel that this would be the best place to get these questions answer. *scratches head*
Anyways, thank you in advance.

Really basic question about the specials
I know there's a Q&A thread and all that, but I'm nuts about spoilers, a brief stroll through that thread ran me straight into what might have been some major spoilers...
So...is there any point in downloading the specials? From what I've gathered they are either
A) Based on ep.8 & 9, but kinda different (which would be...well, worthwhile to an extent)
B) Ep.8 & 9 treated as one episode. (utterly pointless)
Also, is there any reason to watch ep.13, or is it purely recap? I tried to bring myself to watch it, but the first minute or so just made me want to start from episode 1 again.

I downloaded them, and the show, and the movie, but don't want to spend hours and hours watching it all at once and getting a heartache. :P
However, about episode thirteen, I did the same thing the first time through, so is it worth it?

Ah. Guess I missed that the first time I looked through the wiki...
Well, I guess it's more or less worth downloading then. I'd still prefer more stuff with Minagi and...erm...they used her so little that I can't even remember her name. FreeFreePlanetling1.

Presbyopia is more commonly known as "middle-aged sight" - the deterioration of near vision as a person ages, with the need for reading glasses beginning at about age forty or fifty.
Presbyopia occurs when the lens loses enough of its plasticity and elasticity so that it can no longer adequately respond to the visual demand to focus at near. The lens has no blood supply of its own, receiving nutrients through the ciliary body. The lens' cells will break down when they do not receive the proper supply of nutrients. Presbyopia is one symptom of this breakdown. If the breakdown of the lens continues, the stage is set for cataract formation.
Therefore, it would seem logical that the presbyopic eye would respond to the same kind of nutritional approaches that have been shown to prevent cataract formation. In fact, Dr. Gary Price Todd, one of the first nutritional ophthalmologists is finding exactly that. Patients following his nutritional treatment for cataracts are finding that their presbyopia often improves as well.
An Italian study, conducted nearly 50 years ago, found that vitamin E - an anti-oxidant critical in the prevention of cataracts - helped presbyopic people regain their near point vision. Unfortunately, other than this one study, no other nutritional research has been done on presbyopia.
In the United States, approximately four million people have some degree of cataracts, while 40,000 are blinded due to cataracts. One in every five people over 55 are afflicted with cataracts, and as many as half of those over 75 are at risk. Worldwide, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness.
The standard treatment for cataracts is surgery. In fact, cataract surgery is the most common of all surgical procedures practiced in the United States, with more than 500,000 performed each and every year.
94% of cataract surgeries are successful, with lower vision resulting in less than 6 out of every 100 procedures. Though one of the safest operations it still has some degree of risk associated with it.
Even though the surgical treatment for cataracts is highly successful, it is an extremely costly procedure. Each cataract surgery (one eye only) done in the United States costs approximately $5,000. Every year, over 4 billion dollars are spent - just by Medicare alone! - for cataract surgery.
As people live longer and longer, the incidence of cataracts can only increase, if no preventative measures are taken. If the development of cataracts could be delayed by 10 years, the National Eye Institute estimates that half of all cataract surgery could be eliminated, saving billions of dollars every year in medical costs.
There is plenty of evidence that cataracts can be prevented, and their growth arrested, with proper nutrition. "With the right nutritional supplements, prevention could be very close to 100%," says Dr. Todd.
Most research in the United States has focused on the prevention of cataracts. It is a generally accepted fact that cataracts are a degenerative disease caused by free radical damage and that they can be prevented with anti-oxidant vitamins C and E, beta carotene and some trace minerals, including selenium and chromium.

Lexus IS Squeaks and Rattles
dannyromo Posts: 3Hey I got a 2006 IS350 (certified pre-owned) and took it to the dealer a couple of months ago. They told me the warranty would cover this fix however they need to replicate it. The thing is that I live in southern California and since it's hot outside the rattle isn't as loud as when it is cold outside since plastic expands at heat. Now I'm just gonna wait till it gets a little colder and hopefully the rattle will be there. I asked my mechanic who is specialized in Lexus www.lexologyautocare.com if he knows what I'm talking about and he told me that he just fixed one rattle like that a couple of days before I took my car in for service and he charged $600 for it. (trust me when I tell you he's an honest guy and I really do trust him) If your car is out of warranty I'm guessing you're out of luck ...as for me I hope they'll replicate the noise because every time I took my car in for service they always tried to deny they hear anything ... Let me know how it goes0
gary118 Posts: 1I do not normally write reviews but I feel like I need to in this case. I purchased a new Lexus IS 250 back in October 2009. I would like to state for the record that there are a number of cars that I was considering but decided to go with the Lexus because of the great reputation for quality.
After owning the car for a couple of weeks, I noticed a rattle in the back right hand side of the interior. At first, it was somewhat quiet and infrequent. But as time went on, the rattle became louder and more regular. Now every time I drive over a small bump, uneven pavement, or any other unsmooth surface, the rattle is very pronounced. I never did anything that would have caused this issue, and do not have the time to deal with this crap.
Anyway, the dealer said it is not going to be a simple fix and I would need to bring it back another day to have them "tear apart" the entire back interior of the car to find and fix the issue. Needless to say, it turns my stomach to imagine the interior of my new car will be completely disassembled. And I know when they tear apart the car that the leather seats and plastic panels will get cracked and never look new again. I am considering not having them fix it and just selling it outright as the car still looks new (less then 4,000 miles on it). I'm planning on getting a BMW 3 series which is what I should have done in the first place.
This leads me to ask how could this problem have occurred on a new $40,000 car in the first place? What happened to quality control? If Lexus wants to compete, they will need to address this type of quality control issue and live up to their promises.0
gordongj Posts: 23My IS 250 AWD started rattling after about 5000 miles. I have decided to live with it since the biggest rattle is in the dash and I believe if they take the entire dash apart to repair it, I may end up having more rattles after they put it back to gether. It is a wonderful driving car, however do not believe that i would ever buy another one.0
tylerb2 Posts: 3I have the same car and it had all the same problems. First there is a service bulletin out on the dash rattle. That was taken care of under warranty. I hear a rattle every once in awhile but for the most part it's gone. Right after that was fixed the car developed another rattle that I thought was under the far left side of the dash. The dealer replaced a part of the seat belt assembly and that went away. Again, it was taken care of under warranty. There are still little squeaks and rattles but for the most part the car is quiet. I couldn't live with the noise and had to do something about it.
Selling the car for a BMW is trading a headache for an upset stomach. I did just the reverse and sold my new 2003 325xi after the gas gauge wouldn't work and then the fix caused it to not start on demand. At least my Lexus has not let me down. Ironically after a couple of frustrating days with the IS rattles I wrote the corporate offices of Lexus and stated that as frustrating as the BMW was at least the maintenance was free. I'm still getting free oil changes... Good luck.0
muathusanjose Posts: 11I have rattling noise that come from the left driver seat air vent. The air vent kind a loose, when I push in and hold tight the noise goes away.
Anyone know if they can fix this ?? and how much ??0
