By Pete Mazzaccaro
I hate talking about taxpayers in the abstract. It's often a term used to end arguments for those convinced that nothing is more sacred than the rights of taxpayers when it comes to any government decision.
In the case of Philadelphia's imminent adoption of a new property tax based on actual value – known as AVI (Actual Value Initiative) – I think it's absolutely worth talking about taxpayers. The tax hikes that are coming in Philadelphia are not abstract. They're very real.
In the next few weeks, City Council will finalize a budget that promises major property tax increases for many in Philadelphia. In Chestnut Hill, where a median home price is approximately $450,000, taxes will go up for all homeowners in the community.
Last week, the news website Philadelphia Public Interest Information Network developed a map showing the impact of the Actual Value Initiative on homes across the city. It can be found here.
A look through Chestnut Hill properties on the map shows increases ranging from 4 percent increases on the lowest end to 102 percent on the high end. Many show increases of more than 50 percent.
I found similar results when looking at a sampling of four properties in Chestnut Hill in a story two weeks ago.
While there hasn't been a flood of opinions on the matter coming to the Local via letter or email, there are major rumblings behind the scenes.
Business owners and property owners are upset – justifiably so – by the ramifications of a tax boost. Some have said it will likely to lead to layoffs, higher rents and, perhaps, even failed projects.
One property owner told me he is convinced that the higher taxes could result in rolling residential foreclosures as tax bill hikes in the thousands of dollars push homeowners – already stretched beyond their means – to the breaking point. I think he's right. The city is stressed enough as it is. A hike this high will definitely tip the balance. People will be forced to leave. The city's population renaissance of the last 10 to 15 years will be put in jeopardy.
To make matters worse, the tax hike – aimed at raising $94 million needed for city schools – appears to be unnecessary given a fact unearthed by Plan Philadelphia and The Philadelphia Inquirer last week that showed tax delinquencies have grown to $472 million. That's more than five times the number the city hopes to raise in new property and/or use and occupancy taxes. Those figures, too, were mapped by PlanPhilly here.
The implications are clear. Tax paying Philadelphians will be pressed yet again, not only to foot the bill for a school system that's lost funds from the state, but also to cover the tens of thousands of property owners who have not paid their taxes.
I can't imagine that this will sit well with anyone holding a freshly hiked property tax assessment next year. As another Hiller who owns both a business and a home in Chestnut Hill told me, it breaks the "silent deal" many have with the city – they'll tolerate lessened services and send kids to private schools because they know they're getting a good deal on their property taxes.
If Philadelphia levels the playing field, matching surrounding townships dollar to dollar on taxes, there's no question that those who can will leave.

Thomas Ravenel, a former South Carolina state treasurer and current star of a reality TV show, "Southern Charm," pleaded guilty in East Hampton Town Justice Court Wednesday afternoon to one misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated, stemming from an arrest by East Hampton Village police in the early morning hours of July 22, 2013.
He was fined $1,400 by East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky and had his license revoked in New York State for the next six months. After the six months is over, he will be required to install an interlock device on any car he drives in the state for an additional year. The device, which a user blows into, will not let the car start if it records any alcohol on his breath.
Mr. Ravenel paid the fine, minus the $650 he had posted for bail after his arrest, at the clerk's window after leaving the courtroom with his attorney, Trevor Darrell. He had originally been scheduled to appear in court here in May.
Mr. Ravenel is facing a suspension of his license in his home state, as well. Beth S. Parks, a spokeswoman for the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, said today that when the department is notified of an out-of-state drunken driving conviction, "we apply the conviction as if it occurred here." For a first-time offense, the driver's license would be suspended for six months, after which the driver would have to pay a $100 fee and take a class on drug and alcohol awareness.
Before accepting a guilty plea in East Hampton, Mr. Ravenel was required to admit, during oral questioning by Dan Archer, an assistant district attorney, that he had been drinking and that he was intoxicated at the time he was arrested, according to court observers.
He had insisted after his arrest, and at the three appearances he made in East Hampton Court since then, that he was not drunk when he was arrested.
Once considered a rising political star in the Palmetto State's Republican party, Mr. Ravenel was elected state treasurer in 2006, but resigned from the post less than a year later after being charged by federal prosecutors of being part of a cocaine distribution ring.
He appeared to be rehabilitating his political career last year before his arrest, and was even rumored to have been contemplating a challenge to Lindsey Graham for his long-held seat in the United States Senate.
In recent weeks, he has appeared on television as one of the leads in a Bravo reality show about a group of wealthy Charleston, S.C., residents living the high life.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 29, 2009) -- Coming off an impressive road win over a Southeastern Conference opponent, the ETSU men's basketball team returns home Sunday to open Atlantic Sun Conference place against North Florida.
Tip is set for 4 p.m. inside the Memorial Center.
The Buccaneers used a record-setting performance to drop the Arkansas Razorbacks 94-85 on Friday evening. ETSU set a new school record for 3-point field goal percentage in a game, hitting on 11-of-14 attempts for a 78.6 percent clip. Those numbers were also the best in the nation so far this season for a team shooting more than 10 threes in a game.
ETSU got a game high 32 points from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), who continues his great play on both ends of the floor as he picked up his fourth double-double in five games. The Bucs also got strong performances from junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) with 21 points, while fellow junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) added a career high 18.
Despite the quality win, the Bucs must regroup and prepare for what is in many ways a more important game because of conference implications. ETSU will play both UNF and Jacksonville (Dec. 21) during the 2009 portion of the schedule before beginning A-Sun play in earnest at the start of the new year.
For more on Sunday's game, click on the game notebook link above, or read the game notes below.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team won for the second time in a row on Friday night, dropping SEC foe Arkansas on the road 94-85 ... The Bucs (3-3), who are now 2-0 at home and 1-3 on the road this sesaon, return home to take on North Florida in their A-Sun Conference opener ... ETSU is currently in the midst of a six games in 12 days stretch that has included road trips to Chattanooga, Morgan State, Louisville and Arkansas, as well as home games against College of Charleston and North Florida ... ETSU has been without the services of preseason All Atlantic Sun Conference pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) during this stretch, as he is nursing a knee injury � In Smith's absence, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) have stepped up their offensive production � Hubbard has posted double-doubles in four of his last five games, which included a career best 32-point effort against the Razorbacks in the Bucs' last contest � Meanwhile, Tubbs posted a career best 29 points against CofC and 21 against Arkansas, to go with nine rebounds ... Currently, Hubbard and Tubbs lead the team in scoring with 17.2 and 17.0 points per game, respectively.
The series against North Florida
The Bucs are 7-0 all-time against the Ospreys ... The two teams first started playing in 2005-06 when ETSU and UNF first joined the Atlantic Sun Conference ... In their last meeting, the Bucs had to hold on for a 67-64 win at North Florida back on Feb. 1, 2009.
Last time out against North Florida
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 1, 2009) - Overcoming its worst first half production of the season, the ETSU men's basketball team got a double-double performance from junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) to make up a 10-point halftime deficit and avoid an upset at the hands of North Florida, dropping the Ospreys 67-64 at the UNF Arena ... Smith posted 14 rebounds and a career high 24 points in the winning effort, while senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) pitched in 17. ... The first half was absolutely atrocious for the Buccaneers, as they committed 13 turnovers, had no steals or assists, and shot just 39 percent from the field. The result was ETSU's worst offensive first half of the year and a 33-23 advantage for the Ospreys at the break. ... However, in the second half the Bucs unwrapped their patented fullcourt pressing style and the result was a more up tempo game. ETSU ultimately made up seven points to make it 47-44 with 10:53 left in the game, and from there the Bucs took their first lead at 50-49 on a layup by Tiggs with 8:02 left. ... The Bucs ultimately moved out to a seven-point advantage with 1:45 left thanks to a 3-pointer by senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), but a pair of 3-pointers by the Ospreys ultimately spurred a frantic rally late to make it 65-64 with 14 seconds left. Smith then hit a pair of free throws to move the advantage to 67-64, an attempted 3-pointer by UNF's Cortez Riley missed the mark, and an offensive rebound by senior forward Greg Hamlin (Flint, Mich.) on a missed free throw by Smith with two seconds left iced the win.
Last time out
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (Nov. 27, 2009) - Junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted a career high 32 points and collected his fourth double-double in the last five games, leading the ETSU men's basketball team to an impressive 94-85 road win over Southeastern Conference foe Arkansas Friday evening before 13,794 fans inside the Bud Walton Arena ... Along with Hubbard's warrior-like effort, ETSU got a career high 18 points from junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester), while junior transfer Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) pitched in his second straight 20-point effort with 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the floor. As a team, the Bucs were impressive offensively, shooting 59 percent from the floor, 79 percent from 3-point range and 76 percent from the foul line en route to a 94-point effort. ... Along with the great offensive numbers, the Bucs out-rebounded the Hogs 36-23, which included a game-high 10 boards for Hubbard. The Bucs still managed to win the game despite the efforts of Arkansas guard Rotnei Clarke, who finished with 32 points on 10-of-17 shooting from 3-point range. In addition, Arkansas got 13 points each from Mike Washington and Jemal Farmer, while Stef Welsh pitched in 10 ... After falling behind 19-12 with 14:28 left before the intermission, the Bucs found their offensive stride in a big way the rest of the half. ETSU outscored Arkansas 36-13 the rest of the way, shooting 57 percent (17-of-30) from the floor, 70 percent (7-of-10) from beyond the arc, and 100 percent (7-of-7) from the foul line, leading to a 48-32 halftime advantage ... The domination didn't stop on the offensive end in the first half, as the Bucs outrebounded the larger Hogs 20-11 on the boards. Hubbard finished with 19 points in the first half to go with six rebounds in leading the Bucs' attack ... In the second half, the Bucs managed to maintain a double digit lead until the 9:05 mark at 71-60, but a quick 5-0 burst by the Razorbacks made it 71-65 with 8:15 to go and the momentum seemed to be swinging in favor of Arkansas. However, a pair of 3-point buckets by Tubbs helped stem the tide and pull the Bucs back out to a 10-point advantage at 79-69 with 4:13 left in regulation ... The Razorbacks continued to try and cut into the lead, but the Bucs answered at the foul line.
Record setting night from the arc for Bucs
Hitting on 11-of-14 shots from 3-point range against Arkansas, the Bucs put their name in a multiple of record books ... First, those numbers set a new school record for 3-point field goal percentage in a game with a 78.6 percent mark, breaking the previous record of 66.7 percent which had been done three times previously ... In addition, it was the best shooting effort in the "nation" this season for teams taking more than 10 shots in a game ... And it was the best percentage by a team in the A-Sun since Nov. 28, 1999 when UCF was 11-of-14 in a game against South Carolina state.
Hubbard steps up his game, averaging double-double
Much has been written and reported about junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and his efforts to improve his offensive game ... Already considered one of the best defenders in the A-Sun, Hubbard's hardwork is really paying off ... With a 32-point and 10-rebound effort in the win over Arkansas, Hubbard currently leads the Bucs with 17.2 points per game and 10.0 rebounds a contest ... while he has posted double-doubles in four of the last five games, his efforts began to
pay off on the offensive end against Chattanooga ... Setting career bests for points (26) and rebounds (13), Hubbard collected his first career double-double against the Mocs ... In addition, he hit his first 3-point shot in three seasons with the Bucs, and didn't stop there -- ultimately finishing with four long-range bombs on the night.
Tubbs getting it done for the Bucs
When junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) transfered out of the University of Alabama and came to ETSU, many expected the athletic guard to provide an immediate impact on the offensive end of the floor ... This has been the case ... Against Charleston, Tubbs posted a game high and career high 29 points in the Bucs win over Charleston (11/25) ... He followed that effort up with 21 points against Arkansas ... currently, Tubbs has eclipsed double-figure scoring in five of the Bucs first six games and is second on the team with 17.0 points per game.
Sollazzo steps up on night ETSU honors Coy
Before the start of the Bucs' Homecoming game against Appalachian State (11/14), the ETSU community honored the memory of former center Seth Coy, who died in a car accident last summer ... His former roommate and friend, Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), now wears Coy's No. 43 jersey and against the Mountaineers he played inspired basketball ... Sollazzo set a career high with 13 points and hit two critical foul shots in the final seconds to get the win.
Bench play critical in win over Mountaineers
With only 21 points of offensive production from its starting five on Saturday, the Bucs got a huge lift from its bench against the Mountaineers ... All three ETSU players to reach double figures -- Adam Sollazzo (13), Justin Tubbs (11) and Sheldon Cooley (11) -- all came off the bench, and the Bucs got a total of 41 from the reserves as a whole ... With injuries costing the Bucs several offensive weapons, look for ETSU to continue to count on contributions from the bench.
Preseason polls pick Bucs middle of the pack
The ETSU men's basketball team was picked fourth by the Atlantic Sun Conference coaches and fifth by the league's media in preseason polls release Wednesday by the conference office ... The conference's two most recent tournament champions, ETSU (2009) and Belmont (2006-08) place fourth and fifth, depending on the poll. The Buccaneers edged out the Bruins for the spot from the coaches while the media gave the nod the Bruins. Both teams suffered tremendous losses due to graduation. ETSU must replace Courtney Pigram (Memphis) and Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), one of the highest scoring duos in the nation a season ago.
Big questions surround Bucs entering 2009-10
With the loss of seniors Courtney Pigram and Kevin Tiggs -- one of the most dynamic offensive duos in the country -- the Bucs have a lot of questions to answer on the offenisve end of the floor this season ... Having averaged 78.1 points a game a year ago, which ranked 21st nationally in all of Division I play -- ETSU has lost 44.0 of those points to graduation when one includes now departed senior Greg Hamlin in that trio ... In addition to the losses on offensive, the Bucs' 13-man roster includes just eight players who have experienced actual floor time in college ... The other five players are either true freshmen, redshirt freshmen or walk-ons.

Passengers continue to face delays at Australian airports as airlines work through the backlog caused by a failure of their computer check-in system.
Thousands of travellers were delayed at airports nationwide on Saturday after the Navitaire check-in system used by Jetstar, Virgin Australia, Tiger Airways and Rex failed on Saturday morning.
The three-hour outage meant airlines had to check passengers in manually, causing flight cancellations and delays of up to several hours.
Online bookings were also affected until the system was fixed just before midday (AEDT).
Jetstar spokesman Stephen Moynihan said the system outage was caused by a power failure at a data centre in Sydney.
The airline had called in additional staff at airports to help clear the backlog of passengers, he said.
"There are knock-on delays of between one to three hours as we move passengers onto their flights," he said.
Waiting Jetstar and Virgin passengers were given food and drink vouchers to use at the terminals.
"Flight Delay Update: @VirginAustralia are now handing out $8 food vouchers to cope with disgruntled passengers. It's actually working!" tweeted Sydney DJ Timmy Trumpet.
Tiger spokeswoman Vanessa Regan said the outage caused half-hour delays for several flights.
"We did have a couple of minimal delays but we expect to smooth those over now," Ms Regan said.
"The airline is doing all it can to minimise any further disruptions caused as a knock on effect of this morning's outage."
Virgin spokeswoman Melissa Thomson said three flights departing Sydney airport had to be cancelled due to congestion at the gates as a result of the outage.
While the airline was endeavouring to get all guests away, passengers were still experiencing delays of between 30 minutes to two hours, she said.
A Navitaire system crash in 2010 caused chaos for Virgin Blue passengers nationwide, with two days of flight cancellations and delays, forcing some to put themselves up in hotels.
Virgin boss Richard Branson apologised, saying it had been a "terrible 24 hours".
The airline blamed Navitaire for the chaos and said it was considering legal action, but reached a confidential settlement in 2011.
Ms Thomson said Virgin was migrating to a new IT system next year and would no longer be using Navitaire.

append &html5=True to the youtube video url :)
Now that at least 3 important browsers support HTML5's video tag, YouTube added an experimental feature that lets you replace the Flash player with a native player. The main benefit is that your browser plays videos without using Adobe's Flash plug-in, which might slow down your computer and even crash your browser. Another benefit is that videos are treated like images and can be customized using standard CSS features.
For now, YouTube uses the h.264 video codec, so the only browsers that support YouTube's HTML5 player are Safari 4 and Google Chrome. Firefox only supports the Ogg Theora format, which is an open format.
"Our support for HTML5 is an early experiment, and there are some limitations. HTML5 on YouTube doesn't support videos with ads, captions, or annotations and it requires a browser that supports both the video tag and h.264 encoded video," explains YouTube.

Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is the gradual loss of hearing in both ears. It's a common problem linked to aging. About 30% of adults over age 65 have hearing loss.
Because the hearing loss happens slowly, some people are not aware of the change at first. Most often, it affects the ability to hear high-pitched noises such as a phone ringing or beeping of a microwave. The ability to hear low-pitched noises is usually not affected.
There may be many causes for age-related hearing loss. It most often occurs because of changes in the following areas:
Other things that affect age-related hearing loss:
Each person's symptoms may vary. Some of the most common symptoms include:
The symptoms of age-related hearing loss may seem like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your healthcare provider will use a lighted scope (otoscope) to check in the outer ear canal and to look at the ear drum. He or she will look for damage to the ear drum, blockage of the ear canal from foreign objects or impacted ear wax, and inflammation or infection.
You may be referred to a hearing specialist, called an audiologist, to have an audiogram. An audiogram is a test in which sounds are played through headphones, to one ear at a time. You are asked if you can hear each sound. If you can't hear certain tones this may mean there has been some hearing loss.
Your healthcare provider will figure out the best treatment plan for you based on:

Hello all!
Now that my account is activated and I can do something around here thought I should at least say hi.
I'd originally bought an AES gold system in late '91 when I was 14. Gotta say it took forever to get the $650 together to buy one. I only ever had Fatal Fury & King Of The Monsters for it as new carts back then were $250+. I'd occasionally rent a game when I could make it to a place that rented them in the next town over.
But sometime in about '93 or '94 I wasn't working for a good while and sold my AES and most every other game stuff I had. And ever since then I've regretted getting rid of the AES more than anything else.
So, now it feels like it's time to finally get back into a Neo again. While waiting for account activation here I was asking my Neo questions over at Nintendo Age. After a bit of discussion and lack of a decent AES Gold system availability it seemed like a CMVS was the way to go until I came across an AES that fit the condition/price I could live with.
I loved the AES when I had it. And wanted another just like I had back in the day. But my bonus a week or so back wasn't big enough to pick up a nice complete in box Gold system. And was also having difficulty figuring out if an MVS converter was a decent option paired with a Japanese AES. But in the end I've decided to go with an Omega w/Virtual Memory card for now. Quan got in touch with me over at NA about it and I am just waiting to hear back from him on total shipped for an Omega, component cable, and a few MVS carts he had for sale as well.
Can't wait to be running a Neo Geo again. Even if for now it's not an AES like I once knew & loved.

text: Hi all. Old Joomla sites are causing me a lot of headaches. We have denied direct emails from websites to internet but that just means that thousands of (SPAM) emails get stuck in the www server's mail que's because the sites are leaking like a sieve. netstat -tapn example.. Now since /smtp can not connect to out of the server without username and password these get stuck in the que. Currently the que is only for 1 day but soon we are forced to lower that to just a few hours. I was wondering if you have figured out a way to "limit" how many emails a "site" can send per/hour or maybe disable email entirely from some sites. Our WWW servers have Postfix installed but it is only allowed to send email not receive any external mail. (PS. If you know how to disable all those useless Postfix delivery error messages let me know

Looking for a particular product file not listed here? Simply ask, we have them all on file and are happy to get the information you need.
Safe High Voltage (SHV) feedthroughs are like the MHV series, with the primary difference being the pin and contact configuration. SHV cable connectors have a recessed female contact which helps prevent shock hazards when the connector is disengaged. This recessed contact design is an improvement over the MHV design, and becomes increasingly important in higher power applications. The SHV-5 and SHV-10 series are rated for up to 5 Amps and 5000 or 10,000 Volts DC respectively. Both are offered in single and double-ended versions.
The electrical and thermal ratings specified are safe operating limits determined by various factors including material properties, mechanical design, and the intended operating environment. All electrical ratings are based on operation with one side in dry atmosphere and the other side in vacuum of 1 x 10-4 Torr maximum pressure. Temperature ratings for various mounting options may reduce the operating range of an assembly. All assemblies have a maximum thermal gradient of 25oC per minute and may be damaged if this limit is exceeded.

Fooled ya! Thinking can make things true
Q. When does "saying become believing"? –G. W. Bush
A. This happens all too often in life. When University of Oregon psychologist Ray Hyman was in his teens, he supplemented his income by doing magic and mental shows, including palmistry, says David G. Myers in Social Psychology.
When Hyman began, he did not believe in palmistry at all but he knew that to "sell" it, he had to act as if he did. After a few years, he found himself becoming a firm believer. Then one day a professional mentalist suggested that he experiment by deliberately giving readings opposite to what the palm lines indicated.
"I tried this out with a few clients, and to my surprise and horror, my readings were just as successful as ever," says Hyman. "Since then, I have been interested in the powerful forces that convince us, palm readers and clients alike, that something is so when it really isn't."
People often adapt what they say to what they think their listeners want to hear, Myers explains. They are quicker to tell people good news than bad and adjust their message accordingly. When induced to give support to something they doubt, people will often feel bad about their deceit.
"Nevertheless, they begin to believe what they are saying– provided they weren't bribed or coerced into doing so," he writes. "When there is no compelling external explanation for one's words, saying becomes believing."
Q. Who's been "feeding the allegories" lately? –D. McNair
A. You and all the rest of us who mistakenly follow the fictional Mrs. Malaprop– her name inspired by the French "mal a propos" for "inappropriate"– in unloosing countless malapropisms, says Mark Davidson in Right, Wrong, and Risky.
These are errors of substituting "similar sounding words for the intended one." In her most memorable word blunder, the pompous Mrs. Malaprop of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 1775 play The Rivals referred to someone "as headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile." She meant, of course, an "alligator."
Comedians especially commit malapropisms for laughs. But if you don't want people laughing behind your back, never add a word to your vocabulary without first looking it up, advises Davidson.
Q. Ever heard of that old "baseball-versus-bullet business," as it's been called? If not, you're in for a real shocker. –A. Chapman
A. In terms of pure knockdown power, a baseball hit straight back at the pitcher at 130 miles per hour and a 30-caliber bullet moving at 1,875 mph deliver an equally hard impact, says astronomer Bob Berman in The Sun's Heartbeat. If bullets didn't break the skin (creating a one-third-inch-wide, foot-long bleeding tunnel), the bullet and ball would be equally injurious.
When you're hit by a moving object, the transfer of momentum can "push" you over, says James D. Walker of the Southwest Research Institute. For body armor designers, the challenge is to convert a bullet's impact to the equivalent of the baseball's blunt blow (spreading out the force to prevent penetration). Body armor needs enough material to deform the bullet to the point where it impacts baseball-like, leaving only bruises and perhaps a broken rib.

Secretarial recruitment agency listing
Secretarial recruitment agencies typically source secretary and support staff for administration vacancies of all levels. Including marketing, banking, finance and law, secretarial recruiters will work with clients across a range of industries and will aim to provide local or UK wide staffing solutions to predominantly office based employers.
Job description and salary
A secretary can be employed across a number of sectors and will usually be responsible for providing administrative assistance to a team or company. Specific duties will vary depending on the sector or organisation but most personnel will be expected to conduct tasks such as filing, keeping schedules, answering phones, typing documents and maintaining spreadsheets. Secretarial jobs are usually completed in a standard 9 to 5 week however there are opportunities for part time of flexitime work.
Salaries for new entrants will usually start at around £12K although this can increase with experience and by moving into a more lucrative sector. The average salary is around £20K, however senior legal secretaries and banking secretaries can potentially earn £40K+ per annum. Candidates within sizeable London companies can expect to command the highest secretarial salaries in the UK.
Secretarial qualifications and skills
Secretarial candidates don't necessarily require high level qualifications to enter a role, although GCSEs in Maths, English and Science are usually expected. A degree or diploma in Business, Administration or Secretarial Studies will further prepare applicants for a secretary position, whilst knowledge in a chosen sector can also prove to be useful. Attributes are often thought of more highly than qualifications and candidates will need to be organised, comfortable using software such as Excel or Word and be able to demonstrate strong communication skills.
A specialist secretarial recruitment agency will aim to deliver high quality secretary staff for their clients' permanent, temporary or contract positions. They will have a database of top admin support professionals who are ready to fill secretarial and PA vacancies locally or nationwide.

5 Questions We Get the Most
Great question! Our Balance Bar Dark bars, bare bars and our Original Chocolate Raspberry Bar are certified gluten free.
We may be adding more gluten-free products in the future, so stay tuned. And remember, you can always search for all our gluten-free bars on our products page.
We hope in your pantry, work bag, gym bag, snack drawer or even breakfast table (yep! they're a great breakfast energy bar).
But first you'll need to get them from your favorite store – check out our Store Locator to find out where Balance Bars are sold near you.
Or, you can shop our full line of tasty, great-for-you bars online – we'll ship them, and you'll be able to find your favorite Balance Bar in your mailbox!
In short, it's a nutritional ratio of calories from carbohydrates to calories from protein to calories from dietary fat. The nutritionists who created Balance Bar found that it helps the body feel full, have lasting energy and maintain already normal blood sugar levels. It was basically the inspiration for the delicious Bars we all know and love today.
Want to know more? Read on and you'll never look at your Balance Bar as just a tasty snack again (it's so much more!)
Sometimes we have to discontinue products, when there's limited demand for them. These have been discontinued:
• Balance Bar Bare Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond
• Balance Bar Bare Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter
• Balance Bar Bare Blueberry Acai
• Balance Bar Gold Triple Chocolate Chaos
• Balance Bar mini energy bars
• Balance Bar Chocolate Raspberry
• Balance Bar Café
• Balance Bar Carbwell®
But we're always working on new flavors that we hope you'll love, and you can find all our current products in our online store.
Let's Talk Nutrition
All of our Original, Gold and Dark Balance Bars are built with the 40-30-30 snacks nutrition principle. Balance bare bars still offer a great nutritional profile, but they are not based on the 40-30-30 principle!
You can spot our nutrition facts on the seam of each bar wrapper as well as on the bottom of each product display box.
You can also find it on this website – the specific nutritional information for each flavor is on its page in the products section.
We think the numbers in those boxes stack up pretty well to the great taste in every box.
All of our Dark, Original and Gold Balance Bar products contain 13-15g of protein per bar to help keep you full and energized to take on today and tomorrow. That's around 30% of your recommended daily intake. Calories per bar in these lines range from 180-210.
Let's get scientific for a second. Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of the effect of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels.
A high GI is given to carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion and release glucose (sugar) rapidly into the bloodstream.
Carbohydrates that breakdown more slowly and release glucose more gradually into the bloodstream have a low GI. A lower GI (40 or less) suggests slower rates of digestion and absorption of the foods' carbohydrates.
So if we take off our lab coats, what does that mean for you? Simply put, all Balance Bars have a low Glycemic Index and therefore help to provide lasting, sustained energy without supplying loads of sugar as you would find in a typical candy bar.
Yep, they sure do! It varies slightly by flavor so check the wrapper or the nutrition facts listed on each flavor's product page.
All of our Original, Gold and Dark bars are an excellent source of antioxidants. Specifically, our bars contain vitamins A (25%–50%), C (50%–100%) and E (50%–100%).
Dietary Details
All of our bars are Vegetarian friendly! However, we do source some ingredients from animals – including dairy proteins from cow's milk, honey from bees and Vitamin D from lanolin in sheep's wool.
All milk-based ingredients used in our products come from dairy cows.
We offer two New options that are vegan, Balance bare Sweet & Spicy Nut and Balance bare Mixed Berry Nut.
We are proud to say that all of our Balance Bar products are certified kosher dairy (as noted by the OU-D symbol on our packaging) by OU Kosher.
Ready for a quick science class? (No pop quiz, we promise!)
Gluten is a kind of protein (a composite of the proteins gliadin and gluetenin – try saying those three times fast). It tends to exist in wheat, barley and rye, among other carbohydrates.
Gluten is insoluble in water, gives kneaded bread dough its elasticity, allows leavening and creates chewiness in baked products.
Some people, particularly those with Celiac disease, have difficulty digesting gluten and, therefore, should try to avoid it. You can find all our gluten-free bars on our products page.
It's important to note that although all of our products are produced in a facility that processes wheat, the bars that are labeled as Gluten Free are certified by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO).
Also, a few of our bars do contain wheat as an individual ingredient. These are our wheat-packing bars:
• Original Cookie Dough
• Gold Chocolate Mint Cookie Crunch
• Gold Lemon Meringue Crunch
• Gold S'mores
It's important to note that all of our products are produced on equipment that processes peanuts and tree nuts.
We also have several products that actually contain nuts in one form or another. Here's a list of our nutty products:
• Dark Chocolate Coconut
• Dark Chocolate Peanut
• Original Yogurt Honey Peanut
• Original Almond Brownie
• Original Honey Peanut
• Original Peanut Butter
• Gold Caramel Nut Blast
• Gold Chocolate Peanut Butter
• bare Mixed Berry Nut
• bare Sweet & Spicy Nut
• bare Sea Salt Caramel
Many of our bars contain soy protein. Some bars contain soy lecithin, roasted soybeans and/or soybean oil.
All Balance bare bars are completely soy free!
Many of our bars contain dairy in some form, whether it be butter, cream, nonfat milk, whey protein, casein or other milk proteins.
We offer two bars that do not contain dairy: bare Mixed Berry Nut and bare Sweet & Spicy Nut.
Our Original, Gold, Dark bars and Balance bare Sea Salt Caramel all contain at least one corn-based ingredient.
The corn-based ingredients we use include glucose syrup (also known as corn syrup), maltodextrin, dextrose and high maltose corn syrup.
It's just another name for corn syrup! This is a sweetener derived from corn, instead of from sugar cane.
Other Ingredients of Interest
Nope, right now there's no Balance Bar that has caffeine as an individual ingredient.
However, caffeine is present in the natural flavors we add to Mocha Chip, as well as in all of our bars that contain chocolate.
Fractioned palm kernel oil is an ingredient we use in the tasty confectionary coating on our bars.
To get technical, palm kernel oil can't be used as-is because it's a liquid oil and not a solid fat (which is what we need for our coatings). The process known as fractionation separates the liquid parts (or fractions) from the solid parts, but without using the hydrogenation process that produces trans fatty acids.
Essentially, fractioned palm kernel oil is our preferred fat source for confectionary coatings because it contains zero grams of trans fat, unlike partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils.
See, you really can learn something new every day!
Bar Basics
Absolutely! Balance Bars are nutritious any-time or on-the-go foods for kids and adults alike.
Just remember, as with all food, enjoy in moderation.
You should keep your Balance Bars in a cool, dry place.
We think it's a good idea to keep them near the front of your pantry, so you always see a good-for-you option when you poke around for a snack. Plus, keeping our bags stocked with an emergency Balance Bar has saved us more than once on our busiest days!
We guarantee our products for 12 months from the time they are produced. For optimum flavor, we recommend that you eat the bars by the "Best When Used By" date found on the wrapper – we guarantee the product until that date.
Our products are designed for immediate consumption once opened, so we don't recommend keeping bars unwrapped for long periods of time. If you find that your local retailer has expired product, please notify that retailer's local store manager.

On the heels of its massive ignition-switch recall, General Motors (NYSE:GM) is announcing another problematic vehicle; more than 56,000 U.S. Saturn Auras are being recalled due to a defect with the shift cable.
Continue Reading Below
The cable can wear out over time, leading to rollaways and crashes. If the problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion, the driver will be unable to remove the ignition key or switch to "park."
The models impacted are the 2007 and 2008 vehicles with four-speed transmissions. The Saturn line was discontinued in 2009.
GM says that it is aware of four injuries from 28 crashes, but no fatalities. GM dealers will install a shift cable and mounting bracket at no charge.
CEO Mary Barra has promised to identify potential problems in the wake of the criticism that led to 2.6 million other GM vehicles being recalled. General Motors has been accused of mishandling the recall after it was revealed that some engineering managers were aware of the defect a decade prior.
General Motors stock is down 15% year-to-date. It is currently trading at about $35.

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, N.Y. – After defeating Connecticut College earlier in the day, MIT water polo fell to St. Francis College (N.Y.), 14-11. Junior Scott Stephens (Los Altos, Calif.) led MIT with three goals. The Engineers are now 6-8 for the season.
Following a scoreless first period, leaving MIT trailing behind the Terriers, 2-0, junior Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) scored MIT's first goal, which was followed up 26 seconds later by another by freshman Kale Rogers (Newberg, Ore.), tying the game up. After one goal by Stephens and sophomore Jack Clark (Laguna Beach, Calif.) and three more by the Terriers, the second period ended with MIT narrowly behind, 5-4.
Just 20 seconds into the start of the third period, Clark scored his second goal of the game, followed by Stephens with his second goal. In the final two minutes of the period, junior Andrew Dorne (Irvine, Calif.) and Cheney both scored a goal within 40 seconds of each other. St. Francis, however, still held the lead at the end of the period with a score of 9-8.
With goals from Stephens, Dorne and a final one from Rogers with 42 seconds remaining on the clock, the Terriers remained in the lead, 13-11. With eight seconds left, Mark Dzigurski snuck the ball past sophomore keeper Spencer Boone (Thousand Lakes, Calif.) to raise St. Francis' score to 14 just before the clock ran out.
Throughout the game, Boone made eight saves, while Igor Mladenovic made an impressive 21 saves.
MIT will take a break before returning to the pool to host the Division III Championships on Oct. 20-21, while St. Francis will host Harvard the same day.

I'm super-new to crochet - but seeing as I'm trying to get a PhD in brain-controlling toxiplasma, it looks like the perfect project!ReplyDelete
What does 'inc' mean, and how does it work?

Am i possibly being thick and it's the same as 2 sc in one loop?ReplyDelete
Christine: This IS the perfect project for you! Sorry for all my short hand, if you email me I'd be happy to walk you through a few things in more detail. (email@example.com) Inc is an increase, where yes, you put two single crochet into the same stitch. dec is decrease, and the "= rows" just means to sc evenly all the way around. I hope that helps!ReplyDelete
Great tutorial. Love it, thanks for sharingReplyDelete
I love your work. It's so cute. How did you get the antennas to stay standing?ReplyDelete
Lohi: Fortunately my yarn was stiff enough that the antennas could be positioned on their own. If you're having trouble try crocheting a small tube and placing some pipe cleaner inside :)ReplyDelete

Trekkies, you may want to sit down before reading this.
In an appearance Monday on "The Daily Show," J.J. Abrams revealed to Jon Stewart that he was never much of a "Star Trek" fan -- at least not until recently.
The director's latest film "Star Trek: Into the Darkness" hits theaters this week, but he's also attached to a new installment of "Star Wars" due in 2015, turning him into a one-man monopoly on beloved science fiction franchises.
Stewart asked Abrams for his perspective on the differences between the two properties. He likened "Star Wars" to a Western or Samurai movie and suggested that it "never felt like a sci-fi thing." "Star Trek," on the other hand, did.
"It always felt too philosophical for me," he said.
That's when Stewart, a self-proclaimed Trekkie, tuned out.
"I stopped listening to you when you said you didn't like 'Star Trek.' I know what happened because your mouth kept moving after that, so I'm assuming you apologized," he joked.
But Abrams elaborated about his "Star Trek" conversion, explaining that the series "never clicked" with him until he began work on 2009's film reboot starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.
"Then I fell in love with it," he said.

We told you that Android might be the big surprise at CEDIA Expo 2010. Now we have word from Touch Panel Control that it will demonstrate an AMX app for Android at the AMX booth.
Touch Panel Control, a third-party developer for AMX control systems, already has a line of TPControl apps for the iPad and iPhone. The software can program AMX systems as usual, and then turn them into iOS apps at the press of a button.
"We believe that the availability of this application on the Android platform will further empower the AMX dealer community and enable them to offer cost-effective solutions to a much larger user base," says Ben Flux, operations director for Touch Panel Control.
A controlled beta launch is scheduled for after the event, with the product planned to be made widely available by the end of 2010. The Android app will be demonstrated at the AMX booth during CEDIA Expo.
Touch Panel Control demonstrates AMX's standard demo file "working flawlessly" on an Android device.

What a deal.
Last week, the Baltimore Brew reported that the Rawlings-Blake administration agreed to recommend that $6 million in grants meant to mitigate the impact of traffic and other nuisances near Baltimore's planned casino site near I-295 should be used to reimburse the developer for infrastructure costs. According to a memo written by a policy advisor in the Mayor's Office of Government Relations and published in the Brew, a local development council, which the mayor has yet to appoint, is supposed to have advisory input on use of what are called "local impact grants." So, basically, the city promised CBAC Gaming a $6 million rebate and bet on its ability to persuade community representatives to pay for it. This is just one example of the way Baltimore is being packaged for — and, in some cases, sold to — people who don't live here.
We shouldn't be surprised.
In December 2011, during her inaugural address, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake spoke thematically about how she would move the city forward. (Full disclosure: I volunteered for and donated to one of Ms. Rawlings-Blake's opponents during the 2011 campaign.) "The sad truth is that too many good families and businesses left our city because [Baltimore] worked too slowly … or spent scarce resources on other things — all while the property taxes intended to pay for them became a greater burden," she said after setting a goal of attracting 10,000 new families to the city. It's become clear that tourism is a big part of her plan. For example, while some questioned the wisdom of using scarce resources to host a street race, Ms. Rawlings-Blake has described the Baltimore Grand Prix as "an opportunity to put Baltimore on an international stage."
But because of how clearly it illustrates conflicts between competing interests, a complicated project like the "Superblock," the city's attempt to develop downtown's west end, may be even more indicative of the mayor's approach to renewal. Problems with the Superblock predate Mayor Rawlings-Blake, but they continue under her leadership. While the mayor has supported the idea of giving Baltimore residents priority consideration for jobs on the site once construction begins, her administration has not been willing to put any such requirement in writing. Many have questioned the necessity of millions of dollars in proposed tax breaks for the lead developer, and there have been fierce battles with historic preservation advocates concerned that the city has been too willing to tear down important parts of its past.
In May, the Superblock and other projects prompted the Daily Record to ask, "Is Baltimore mortgaging too much of the future on risky developments?" Three months later, a Baltimore Business Journal headline read, "Remove the stumbling blocks from the superblock." The editors pointed to the city's mismanagement of the project as the biggest impediment.
Baltimore needs to grow. There's no question about that. And many will benefit from a more vibrant Central Business District. But my fear is that the mayor has fallen in love with projects, not people — that she's more enamored of the affluent transplants she envisions than many of us who are already here.
A more robust economic development policy would include, among many other things, youth development. I've been taken with a term that Baltimore's Safe and Sound Campaign, a child advocacy group whose work I highlighted last week, is using: affirmative opportunity. If our real goal were providing more opportunities for the next generation of city leaders, we would minimize, not expand, children's contact with the criminal justice system and redirect the savings that come from a reduced dependency on incarceration to jobs, training programs and recreation. Seen in this light, the mayor's relative silence regarding the state's plans for a youth jail in East Baltimore is shocking on both moral and economic grounds.
There is so much potential. For example, although many religious congregations are already engaged in this work, many more, with guidance and support, would gladly translate their faith into community-building action. As a city proud of its diversity, we should do more to embrace and promote our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. And much more should be done to show the 120,000 college students who call the Baltimore area home that they can build a life in the city after graduation.
We need a growth agenda that respects the tremendous assets that are already here. But what we have at the moment is a mayor betting big on her vision of Baltimore and hoping that the rest of us will kiss the dice.

The sport fishing season for hatchery spring chinook salmon and hatchery steelhead will re-open tomorrow, Saturday, on the lower Columbia River under an agreement reached this week by fishery managers from Washington and Oregon.
The season is scheduled to run through June 15 from the Rocky Point/Tongue Point line near the mouth of the river to the deadline below Bonneville Dam. For boat anglers, the upriver boundary is Beacon Rock.
Anglers may retain one adult hatchery chinook salmon as part of their daily limit.
Barbless hooks are required. All chinook salmon and steelhead not marked with a clipped adipose fin must be released. Sockeye salmon must also be released.
"We know a lot of anglers have been waiting for this opportunity," said Ron Roler, Columbia River policy coordinator for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. "Now that we have a better idea of this year's run size, more spring chinook have become available for harvest."
Fishery managers closed the season last month, after anglers had taken 3,539 upriver chinook. Although the size of the run was later reduced to 107,500 fish, Roler said 1,357 upriver chinook are still available for the recreational fishery.
