I've earned a B.S and an M.S in Chemical engineering from the Colorado School of Mines. I've been asked for help by classmates and fraternity brothers regularly throughout my education and have never been unable to help in an area related to chemical engineering. Lastly, I managed to finish the Mines research qualifying exam with a perfect score. I've enjoyed teaching for as long as I can remember. There are few things more rewarding than sharing the "eureka" moment with someone who had given up on understanding. Too often, people see their own lack of understanding as a lack of intelligence.

I know many people don't want to go to college close to home and want to as far away as possible. I am attending a college that takes a little over an hour to get to from my home town. For me it has worked well being so close to my hometown and I have loved it. The college I'm at now is the best fit for me and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It took a while to learn that it was perfect, but it was the best decision for me. There have been a few cons to it, but every situation has them. It is a difficult decision to pick colleges and any advice helps. These are my main pros and cons of attending college close to home to try to help anyone decide.
Financial costs
Going to college in-state was the best choice for me for financial reasons. Paying out of-state adds up and I couldn't imagine paying for that on top of tuition. It also helped to chose somewhere close to home because of my scholarships from my high school and my college. I received financial help for tuition because I chose an in-state college. Financial costs are a major factor in deciding what college to attend. Many other people from my hometown chose a college close to home for the same reason.
Similar town
Most people want to go somewhere new and exciting but I liked going somewhere close that felt like home. I visited the city my college was in many times throughout my life so it was a familiar place. I grew up in such a small town that I knew I wouldn't want to push myself to try to be in a new environment, especially one I didn't feel comfortable in. This doesn't work for everyone and some people do better far from home in a place that is new and different. I love being at college in a smaller town instead a large city. The campus buildings are all located close together and many of the students know each other. Even though the town is a little bigger it is still a small town with people that make it feel like home.
Short distance
It was difficult for me to leave my home town since I lived there my whole life and all of my family lived there. Knowing that I was a short trip away made me feel better and I even took the trip when I needed it. I had a difficult time trying to figure out my major and most of my friends were still at home. Being able to be around the people I loved easily made my first semester easier to get through. Over time I stopped going home as much and made new friends at my university so I had people here to be with. I don't think that going home as much as I did that first semester is something everyone should do but it did help me get adjusted to college life and now I consider my college town my home.
Cons of living close to home
Since I went to college so close to my home town I stayed involved with people from my high school especially because many people attend the same college. Looking back at it now, I wish I would have become more invested in my life instead of pretending like I was still in high school. I'm not recommending to anyone to forget their past friends but meeting new people and doing different things is one of the best things you can do when starting college. Instead of becoming friends with new people at college, I would go home when I had free time to hang out with people. I regret this because it took me longer to make strong relationships that will last throughout the years. Once I pushed myself to stop going home as much I met the people I am still friends with today and are some of the most important people in my life. Going to a college farther away from home would have forced me to meet new people sooner and is something I think college freshmen need.
The best advice I can give is to choose a university you want to go to no matter the location. Living close to home and far away both have their advantages and disadvantages. Make the decision for you so you can love your college experience.

The recent disclosure that reports claiming Iraq tried to buy uranium from Niger were based partly on forged documents has renewed complaints among analysts at the C.I.A. about the way intelligence related to Iraq has been handled, several intelligence officials said.
Analysts at the agency said they had felt pressured to make their intelligence reports on Iraq conform to Bush administration policies.
For months, a few C.I.A. analysts have privately expressed concerns to colleagues and Congressional officials that they have faced pressure in writing intelligence reports to emphasize links between Saddam Hussein's government and Al Qaeda.
As the White House contended that links between Mr. Hussein and Al Qaeda justified military action against Iraq, these analysts complained that reports on Iraq have attracted unusually intense scrutiny from senior policy makers within the Bush administration.
''A lot of analysts have been upset about the way the Iraq-Al Qaeda case has been handled,'' said one intelligence official familiar with the debate.
That debate was renewed after the disclosure two weeks ago by Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, that the claim that Iraq sought to buy uranium from Niger was based partly on forged documents. The claim had been cited publicly by President Bush.
''The forgery heightened people's feelings that they were being embarrassed by the way Iraqi intelligence has been handled,'' said one government official who has talked with C.I.A. analysts about the issue.
The forged documents were not created by the C.I.A. or any other United States government agency, and C.I.A. officials were always suspicious of the documents, American intelligence officials said.
But the information still ended up being used in public by Mr. Bush. Intelligence officials said there was other information, which was deemed to be credible, that raised concerns about a possible uranium connection between Niger and Iraq.
Several analysts have told colleagues they have become so frustrated that they have considered leaving the agency, according to government officials who have talked with the analysts.
''Several people have told me how distraught they have been about what has been going on,'' said one government official who said he had talked with several C.I.A. analysts. None of the analysts are willing to talk directly to news organizations, the official said.
A senior official of the agency said no analysts had told C.I.A. management that they were resigning in protest over the handling of Iraqi intelligence. At the State Department, by contrast, three foreign service officers have resigned in protest over Mr. Bush's policies.
The official said some analysts had been frustrated that they had frequently been asked the same questions by officials from throughout the government about their intelligence reports concerning Iraq. Many of these questions concern sourcing, the official said.
The official added that the analysts had not been pressured to change the substance of their reports.
''As we have become an integral component informing the debate for policy makers, we have been asked a lot of questions,'' the senior C.I.A. official said. ''I'm sure it does come across as a pressured environment for analysts. I think there is a sense of being overworked, a sense among analysts that they have already answered the same questions. But if you talk to analysts, they understand why people are asking, and why policy makers aren't accepting a report at face value.''
Another intelligence official said, however, that many veteran analysts were comparing the current climate at the agency to that of the early 1980's, when some C.I.A. analysts complained that they were under pressure from the Reagan administration to take a harder line on intelligence reports relating to the Soviet Union.
The official said the pressure had prompted the agency's analysts to become more circumspect in expressing their analytical views in the intelligence reports they produced.
''On topics of very intense concern to the administration of the day, you become less of an analyst and more of a reports officer,'' the official said.
The distinction between an analyst and a reports officer is an important one within the C.I.A. A reports officer generally pulls together information in response to questions and specific requests for information. An intelligence analyst analyzes the information in finished reports.

Successful property developers work hard to find the best deals, and in the extremely competitive world of development it's often a hard task to find opportunities for making a profit. As with any business, the most successful developers are those who buy low and sell high, but in many cases it can be difficult to obtain finance for properties with potential; a building that is in disrepair might be a great opportunity for refurbishment, but few mortgage providers will be willing to approve a loan for its purchase.
In order to take advantage of these opportunities, developers must turn to specialist lenders who provide unmortgageable property finance. This is a form of bridging finance that is specifically designed to meet the needs of developers who intend to renovate a property, whether it needs extensive work or simply a few internal modifications. Loans are available in many different forms and sizes, depending on the lender, and the fee structure can be altered to meet the needs of each individual borrower.
Though unmortgageable property finance is a highly flexible and powerful tool for developers, it's important to thoroughly understand the ways in which it works before proceeding with an application. This article deals with some of the main points of unmortgageable property finance, but aspiring developers should be sure to consult their lender or broker before making an application.
Mortgage providers have a very rigid approach to the loans the approve, and their criteria is based upon their ability to sell the property on the open market. A building which cannot be lived in or requires expensive investment is hard to sell, which is what makes most mortgage providers turn away from these types of building. This can be for a variety of reasons, but is most commonly due to the property falling into disrepair.
To the layman, it might appear as though an unmortgageable property is a poor prospect for development. In many cases, a property will be unmortgageable because it's unfit for habitation and in need of renovation. However, a specialist property developer with experience in refurbishing a property can take a building that's uninhabitable and completely remodel it, turning a derelict structure into a glittering block of flats worth a fortune.
Unmortgageable property finance is a form of bridging loan, a flexible and adaptive type of finance that can be used for many purposes. In the case of lending for unmortgageable properties, a borrower will usually take out a loan for the purposes of purchasing the property and of restoring it. Once this is complete, the property will either be sold for a profit or a mortgage will be arranged. Usually, a developer will attempt to complete this process as quickly as possible, as a bridging loan is comparatively expensive to service - interest is charged monthly, rather than annually, so fees can quickly add up. However, most bridging lenders provide flexible payment structures that enable borrowers to service interest as they go or to "roll up" their payments until the loan is repaid.
One of the attractions of bridging finance is the flexibility which it offers, as lenders are comparatively free to choose their own terms and conditions. This means that unlike high street lenders, bridging lenders can take a borrower's existing portfolio into account when considering their loan application, allowing them to leverage existing assets. Unmortgageable property loans are secured against the borrower's assets, and are usually taken out against the property being refurbished. This means that if the borrower should fail to repay the loan, the lender will be able to recoup their initial investment through the sale of the property.
The most common reason for taking out an unmortgageable property loan is to bring the property into a habitable condition. However, every property is different, and there are varying degrees of work which need carrying out. The many bridging lenders who offer unmortgageable property finance are able to cater for many different needs, and can provide loans to match projects of all different sizes. The purposes listed below are some of the most popular reasons why developers take out these types of loans.
Refurbishment is generally superficial, and is concerned mostly with restoring the appearance of a property. This can cover plastering, painting, furnishings, internal fixtures and fittings, as well as many other types of work, but is mostly confined to decorative purposes. Depending on the property, refurbishment may not be particularly costly, but for luxury apartments and extensive work refurbishment loans may be quite large.
A property in need of renovation often requires extensive structural work such as remodelling or extensions, and renovation finance will cover the costs of rebuilding and reworking the property. Renovation may be used on property in any condition, and some renovations can be extremely far-reaching; turning a decrepit warehouse into an office, for instance. Because of this, renovation loans can often reach 8 figures, and may last for longer than 12 months.
Sometimes the best thing to do with a building is to knock it down and build another one. However, the house must still be purchased ahead of time, and since no mortgage provider will touch it a bridging loan should be sought instead. Loans for demolition will usually cover the cost of the entire project, including initial purchase, the demolition itself and the construction of a new building in its place.
Renewing a property's lease becomes extremely expensive when it falls below 80 years, and many mortgage providers refuse to approve mortgages on a property with fewer than 60 years on the lease. Therefore, a buyer must make use of unmortgageable property finance in order to secure the property and renew the lease. Lease extensions can cost upwards of 10% of a property's value, depending on how long is left, so a short lease purchase loan can be fairly large.

If you're particular favorite flavor of the Android OS is on the more custom side, there are many variable options that one can choose from when flashing a Custom ROM. Cyanogenmod is an obvious choice and definitely one of the most popular. Some good news in this department for owners of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is that Cyanogenmod is now officially supporting the device, which means you can get started on rooting and flashing whenever you have the time. We only recommend this of course if you aren't fond of Samsung's Touchwiz UI that comes onboard, but if you don't mind letting that go and navigating to a more open route with less clutter, the the team at Cyanogen has released official nightly builds for the tablet as of now.
We realize that rooting and flashing custom ROMs won't be for everyone, but it's great to see some support for this ROM coming to more devices. It may have been only a matter of time of course before the Samsung Pro devices received such attention. If you have and use a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 then go ahead and prepare yourself to move forward. Obvious things to note, are that you should be aware of how to root your device and follow all instructions and steps if you haven't previously acquainted yourself with the process, that is assuming your device isn't already rooted too of course. If that first step is already done, we'll assume you're most likely up to date on backing up anything you want saved before you move onto flashing which would result in a device wipe of the data onboard.
Other things that are worth mentioning is that if this is your first time ever attempting to use a nightly ROM, definitely expect some bugs, but since these are also nightly releases the bugs usually get fixed up quickly as a new build comes out generally every day, until they reach an M status release build which is now the most stable. You can find the download link for the ROM file here, and you can most likely find all your rooting instruction needs at XDA if your device is still stock. Happy Flashing!

text: I had no intention of writing a post over the holidays let alone on Christmas Day but when the day goes awry, all things are open to change. Our kids are four years old and seven months old. They have no expectations for Christmas day. I, on the other hand, do, and when those plans become incredibly skewed I can't help but feel deflated, disappointed and as though my Christmas has been stolen from me. As I write, it's still Christmas Day but I'm wishing it was over already. It's been one hell of a washout with one thing or another but I've learnt some very important lessons today.

It has been a busy few weeks back in the European Parliament, writes Rory Palamer MEP.
Some MEPs made the headlines for all the wrong reasons in my view.
Whatever your view of the European Union, the decision by some to turn their backs on young musicians at the formal opening of the Parliament was disrespectful. The EU is not alone as an international body made up of different countries in having an official anthem.
My priority, as always, is to be an effective voice for north Nottinghamshire in the European Parliament.
I am pleased to have been re-appointed to the environment and health committee which will be leading important work on banning single-use plastics, reducing carbon emissions and tackling the very real threat of climate change.
I will also be joining the international development committee where my priorities will be protecting human rights in all parts of the world and defending the importance of international aid and tackling the threat of global terrorism.
I will be posting regular updates about my work on these committees on my Facebook page.
Congratulations to the Worksop branch of the Royal British Legion for organising a superb Armed Forces Day event recently.
It was a pleasure to be there and to be greeted by Coun Sybil Fielding and Ray Fielding and the day was a fitting tribute to all armed forces personnel.
It was thrilling to see the England men's cricket team win the World Cup in such dramatic fashion.
I used to enjoy playing some cricket for my school teams at Ryton Park and Hartland and we even played a few matches on the pitch at Clumber Park.
Back then virtually almost all major national sporting events, including Test cricket, were on the BBC.
It's time to assess how we get more live sport back on free-to-air TV so it's accessible to all.
And on that note, well done everyone who has championed the campaign against scrapping free TV licences for some over-75s.

Many people use the terms HIV and AIDS interchangeably, however they are not the same thing and it is important to understand the difference. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that is transmitted from person to person by sexual activity, blood to blood contact or during childbirth. Once transmitted, HIV enters cells of the immune system (CD4 cells, also called T-cells) where it reproduces itself, killing CD4 cells in the process. The immune system usually protects us from disease and infection, but HIV weakens the immune system over many years meaning it cannot fight off other infections and diseases that a healthy immune system would normally be able to. A person infected with HIV is described as "HIV-positive," meaning they have tested "positive" to a specific HIV blood test.
The term AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) refers to a more advanced stage of HIV infection. Someone is said to have AIDS if they are diagnosed with one or more of a specific list of infections/conditions as a direct result of a weakened immune system. The weaker the immune system the more a person is at risk of developing AIDS. In the past, before effective HIV treatment was available, most people living with HIV would go on to develop AIDS over many years. The situation is very different today. HIV medications, called antiretroviral medications (ARVs) or antiretroviral therapy (ART), significantly reduce the amount of HIV in the body, which in turn reduces damage to the immune system and prevents progression to AIDS. If someone already has AIDS, then starting on ARVs can allow the immune system to recover and restore health.

Campaign of Fear US Election Boils Down to 'Lesser of Two Evils'
To win the election, both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will have to mobilize as many of their base voters as possible. At this stage in the race, political agendas are no longer as important to the candidates as badmouthing their opponent. The campaign is getting ugly.
Right now, Michelle Joseph feels good about each individual vote and every decibel of elation. She may have her arms crossed in front of her chest, but whenever Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says something and the applause swells to a roar in the open-air theater in Henderson, Nevada on Oct. 23, her confidence grows. She claps along, cautiously at first, but then more liberally. Is this the Mitt Romney her Democratic friends warned her about? The Mitt Romney portrayed in the TV ads? The out-of-touch multi-millionaire? The man who is supposed to be such a monster?
Joseph has a good view of the candidate from her seat. He is standing there, confident of victory, buoyed by his recent success in many polls that put him ahead of the incumbent, President Barack Obama. At this moment, some polls place him one or two percentage points ahead of Obama, while a poll by the ABC television network and the Washington Post gives him a three-point lead.
Joseph is applauding a man who makes a thousand times more than she does working as a sales clerk at the Kohl's department store chain. He is a man who cultivates a backward view of women, rages against Obama's law that mandates equal pay for women, and can probably hardly imagine what it must have been like when her parents immigrated from Mexico and were so poor that her mother had to cut meat with tin can lids because there was no money to buy a knife.
But as a devout Catholic, she says, she can only vote for a Republican, especially because of the abortion issue. She says that she can either vote for Romney or not vote at all.
Everything he is saying up on the stage makes her more likely to vote for Romney, so much so that she is beginning to forget the horrified questions and incredulous looks coming from friends and coworkers when she told them that there was no way she could vote for Obama. The cheers grow louder when Romney stokes fear of a second Obama term, when he says that Obama has ruined the American economy and that Obama, a secret socialist, wants to turn the country into another Greece. Now she's asking herself whether her friends' words make any sense at all. Isn't Obama the real monster?
Equilibrium of Horrors
Fomenting fear of the other candidate is an important feature of this election campaign, and it was the fear of a Romney presidency that long benefited Obama. He was ahead in the polls as long as Romney was largely unknown to millions of voters. Obama attacked him with a flood of TV ads that depicted Romney as an unscrupulous capitalist and enemy of the middle class, someone who, as CEO of the investment firm Bain Capital, eliminated jobs to increase his profits.
Only since Romney managed to strike back in the first televised presidential debate before millions of viewers has the race moved toward a precarious balance, a sort of equilibrium of horrors.
Both candidates are finding it difficult to generate enthusiasm with concrete programs. No matter what new plans he promises, Obama is being judged by the mixed results of his first term. And Romney, in a vain attempt to please everyone in his party, has changed his positions so often that everyone can now vote for the version of Romney he or she likes the most.
For this reason, it is the differences, which are sometimes little more than nuances, that are couched in as negative terms as possible, as if the two camps no longer had anything in common. On the one side is Obama, the socialist who is dragging America into a national bankruptcy, and on the other is Romney who wants to take away food stamps from America's poorest citizens. The campaign has turned into a barrage of insinuations, negative stereotyping and constant accusations from both sides that the other candidate is betraying America.
Most voters made up their minds early in the game, and only about 2 percent of registered voters are still undecided over which candidate to vote for. For this reason, it's important for both sides to mobilize their respective base voters. To convince the base to go out and vote, each candidate has to create fear of his opponent.
The Jewish Vote
Much depends on the mood in the nine swing states that will be critical to winning the election. Both parties are breaking down the voting population into manageable small groups, hoping to motivate those still hesitant to vote. The campaign managers have honed their strategies to precisely target certain groups of the population. Romney is focusing primarily on white blue-collar workers in Ohio and Virginia, evangelical Christians in the Bible Belt and gun lovers in Colorado. Obama, for his part, is targeting women in Virginia, college students in Iowa, Latinos in Nevada and Jewish voters in New York and Florida.
Marvin Manning, a Jewish American and registered Democrat, is one of the crucial voters in this election. He is sitting in front of a fountain in the "Clubhouse," a Democratic meeting point in Boca Raton, Florida, looking as though he's lost his faith. Almost 80 percent of the residents of his retirement community near Boca Raton are Jewish, and if they all turned out to vote, it would constitute an enormous advantage for the Democrats. Manning, 86, is unshaven and wearing a faded T-shirt and shorts. He managed a chain of jewelry stores before retirement. Now, he'd like to retire as president of the Democratic Club too. But first he wants one last, significant success.
Although only about 2 percent of Americans are Jewish, they wield far more influence than their numbers would suggest. Jewish citizens are politically involved, regularly vote in large numbers and, most importantly, often live in states where the number of Republicans and Democrats is roughly equal, so that a relatively small number of voters can decide the outcome of the election in those states. Some 148,000 Jews live in Ohio alone, 295,000 in Pennsylvania and more than half a million in Florida.
For Manning, 2008 was a great year. The Jewish population backed Obama, even though he had spent four years of his life in Indonesia, an Islamic country, and gave speeches promising reconciliation with the Islamic world. Four out of five Jewish voters gave Obama their vote at the time. For Manning, the outcome of the election in his district was also a personal success of sorts, a confirmation of his influence.
'Shifting Like a Pendulum'
But this time he sees billboards everywhere in Boca Raton that read: "Friends Don't Let Friends Get Nuked," a reference to Israel and the possibility of an Iranian bomb, among the most important issues for Jewish voters. "Our people are shifting like a pendulum. One day they are for Obama, the other day for Romney," says Manning. For them, it isn't good enough that Obama refers to Israel as America's "best friend."
"Many of my friends simply no longer trust Obama to show strong leadership on Iran and its nuclear program," says Manning. "Israel is such a tiny country." Using his finger, he draws a large circle on the table, which represents the world, and then a tiny circle the size of a pea: Israel. "There is no margin for error -- it can be exterminated easily."
He knows how dangerous it is if the enthusiasm for Obama wanes. "If Jewish voters don't vote in Florida, it's like a vote for Romney," he says. A visit by Obama would help at this point. "We need to hear from Obama. He has to reassure us in person," he says. But what should Obama explain? There really isn't anything else to say.
The two candidates also talked about Israel in the third televised debate, held last week. Romney fueled the fears that Jews in Boca Raton have. He accused the president of having distanced himself too much from Israel, but he didn't say what he would do differently. Instead, he praised the president's Afghanistan policy, the drone war and the decision to end the war in Iraq. He also didn't differ from the president on Iran.
Clinton on the Campaign Trail
Obama has realized by now that this election can no longer be won with arguments, which is why he doesn't even shy away from using somewhat coarse language, saying that what his rival says is "bullshit," a term polite Americans would never use. Seven weeks ago, at the Democratic Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, he turned over the most important task to former President Bill Clinton, a man who was not only better at explaining Obama's policies than Obama himself, but whose role was also to remind Americans of better days, when the economy was still prospering and the country was at the apex of its power.
When Obama began campaigning five years ago, he sought to differentiate himself from precisely that period, the Clinton era, especially after having waged a tough primary campaign against former First Lady Hillary Clinton. But now he is sending the former president to Ohio, probably the most important swing state in this election campaign, Obama's "firewall" against the possibility of defeat. Since 1964, no president has moved into the White House without having won Ohio.
Bill Clinton made his first appearance there 10 days ago in Parma, a 15-minute drive from Cleveland, a gloomy Ohio suburb in America's rust belt. The former president stood in the gymnasium at a local community college, where the baskets on the basketball court had been folded up. He maligned Romney, the multimillionaire who claims to be patriotic, for showing little patriotism when it comes to reducing his tax bill by tucking away his millions in tax havens around the world.
Clinton spoke about Romney's refusal to release details of his tax plan, and then asked: "Does he think we're stupid?" Then rock singer Bruce Springsteen joined him on the stage, rolled up his sleeves and sang one of his ballads about ordinary people. "The nation can only be measured by its compassion for its weakest," Springsteen told the crowd.
One member of the audience was Chuck Montague. Four years ago, he was still working for a small local newspaper, but when its fortunes turned sour, Montague was laid off. "It was quite an adjustment," he says, adding that it gave him the feeling of no longer being needed. He is now 66, and his prospects are slim for finding the kind of job he used to have. In this election, white Americans like Montague pose the biggest threat for Obama. They are disappointed and searching for an alternative.
He had expected more from Obama. The president wasn't as strong a leader as Montague would have liked, and the economy isn't recovering yet, either. But Romney? What exactly does he stand for?
He taps his feet to "The Promised Land," Springsteen's song about life in America still being part of a promise. And suddenly Montague manages to come up with arguments in favor of the president again. "You do have to give him credit for killing Osama bin Laden," he says. "I think Obama deserves four more years."
'Lesser of Two Evils'
And that's what boils down to in the end: America's power and America's might. The country has lost a noticeable amount of its influence since the 1990s. This is the new reality that Americans across party lines can't get used to.
The election is still a week away, and the question is whether Romney will manage to mobilize the last doubters within his party, and perhaps even the millions of fundamentalist Christians who didn't really want to vote for him because of his Mormon faith. They helped reelect former President George W. Bush in 2004, but they have great reservations about Romney because his faith challenges their faith, since Mormons do not believe that the Bible is the only source of eternal truth.
It is perhaps the most decisive barometer in the campaign of fear between Obama and Romney: Is there enough hatred for Obama that even evangelical Christians and a Mormon can join forces to form a large, new coalition? Will the representatives of both churches become allies, despite viewing each other with mistrust and skepticism, to elect Romney and prevent Obama from being reelected?
Mormonism "is a heresy from the pit of Hell," influential evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress said during the primaries, calling the religion a cult when Romney hadn't been elected as the Republican candidate yet. Mormons were his enemies, but now there is an even greater enemy.
But for weeks, Jeffress has been on a tour of 10 American cities to convince other evangelical pastors to tell their congregations to vote, and that they must vote for Romney. The pastor says that it isn't about partisan politics for him, but about what's right and wrong, about decency.
"I still believe Mormonism is a false religion that leads people away from rather than toward the true God," he says. But the fear of Obama, the other party's candidate, the man so many people still think is a Muslim, is still greater. This is the most important issue. Romney, he has said, is "the lesser of two evils."

The newly opened office is located in the burgeoning Aseana City district which is set to become the next business capital of the Philippines. Occupying 6,700sq meters over five floors of the impressive new Aseana II building, the state of the art facility is the single biggest investment by V.Group in its history and is intended to become a centre of excellence for the Group. Selected PMMA students in full maritime uniform lined the red carpet entrance providing an official entrance of honour for guests, including Philippines celebrity Tessa Prieto-Valdes, through to the welcoming area decorated with colourful banderitas (traditional bunting) and origami paper boats. V.Group Manila employees wore celebratory traditional dress of either Filipiniana or Barong Tagalog for the occasion. Guests were escorted to the 12th floor of Aseana II which had been completely repurposed for the celebrations. A historic time line of V.Group and its operations in Manila ushered attendees into a specially created landscape of iconic Filipino monuments and sights which guests could be photographed with. Filipino delicacies were served by V.Ships Oceanic Catering, prepared in their state of the art catering facilities on the 8th floor. During the meal POMI General Manager Engr. Elmer Pulumbarit hosted a presentation of speeches and videos. Elmer invited to the stage V.Group in the Philippines Representative Jamie Stewart and Capt. Nikolaos Skinitis, representative from long time 3rd party agent Costamare who have become V.Group's newest neighbours after they took over the 10th floor of Aseana II. Group Director, Marine Operations Matt Dunlop spoke to the attendees of the organisation's origins and Alexandre Vlasov who put the V in V.Ships and V.Group in 1934. Matt also gave the office a traditional maritime themed launch by spraying champagne on a mock-up ship's bow next to the stage. Guests then were given a full scale interactive tour of the new facilities including the new state-of-the-art culinary and hospitality training centre and the seafarer bridge and engine room training simulator. Jamie said: "I think anyone that comes here can see that this is a world class facility and we have world class office space. It's a fantastic operation. We are now able to offer a service facility which is second to none and includes recruitment, technical training, culinary training, operations, commercial, purchasing, technical support and IT which positions the Group at the heart of not only Asia, but the global shipping community." Elmer added: "The reaction from staff and seafarers has been very good. For our staff they are motivated each day coming into the office. Not only does this expansion give them a sense of security for them and their families, it also means that more Filipinos will be given a job - this enlightens their day and gives them further motivation to help the company to grow." In the evening a dinner was held for local Group employees and international representatives who were entertained by a live band as well as traditional performers. The diners were also treated to 'V.Group's Got Talent' showcasing the best traditional and contemporary song and dance routines performance by Manila teams and a special dance routine by OJTs and Cadets.

CPL Online is looking to take on at least five new Animators to help boost its growing team as the demand for custom e-learning courses by high-profile clients such as Coca Cola, Carlsberg and Star Pubs & Bars (Heineken) continues to rise. A recruitment campaign aimed at talented and enthusiastic animators, however, has still not attracted enough applicants to meet demand.
Animators form a crucial part of the e-learning process, bringing content to life through engaging imagery and interactivity, encouraging e-learning users retain important information - which is exactly what clients want from courses.
David Dasher, Managing Director of CPL Online said: "We've been surprised by the lack of response to our recruitment drive. Liverpool is a city renowned for its creativity but people are still looking to Manchester and Leeds to pursue opportunities. We're ready to recruit now and want to hear from anybody with a background in animation who's looking for a new opportunity or to kick start their career after leaving education.
Dasher continued: "CPL Online is one of the largest companies of its kind in Merseyside and we're growing rapidly. Whilst we're looking to recruit from a resource perspective, we also want people on board who can bring new, innovative and forward thinking ideas and skills. In return CPL Online offers the chance to work in an engaging atmosphere on rewarding projects that allows them to explore their own talent and abilities."
Previous experience in animation is necessary to be part of the online animation team and applicants will need in-depth knowledge on animation that can be presented in an online or print portfolio.
Since launching just four years ago, the firm now employs a team of 50 people due to a rapid and continuing client demand. The expansion has seen staff intake double in the past six months, a figure that is expected to continue to rise as new clients come on board.
There are currently three positions left in CPL Online for the role of junior animator. To apply for the role please send your CV to Melanie Douglas: email@example.com.
CPL Training is an international training company and the biggest provider of personal licence training in the UK.

If you're having a bad day, here's how to stop it dead in its tracks
When you're having a bad day, it seems as if one unlucky break piles up on top of another.
For singles, bad days can turn into bad weeks, bad months, and a bad life. But only if you let them.
No, this isn't a lecture about positive thinking or optimism or affirmations. Especially not affirmations. Yikes!
I've had plenty of "bad" days when I woke up with a sinus headache, banged my elbow getting dressed, froze my fingers scraping the ice off my car windshield, then had something break at my house that required a costly repair.
How I wish I had all my "bad" days back, to live over.
I would exercise the truth that there's something good about every day, no matter how things seem to be going. Even when I was frustrated and angry at life, one great truth stood out, but I was too immature to take hold of it:
Of course, God is always for you, too. That simple truth is a candle when everything else is darkness. It's a stark reminder that the worse the tragedy, the stronger God's love and support.
When you're having a bad day, it's tempting to blame God instead of thanking him for being there for you.
Don't turn yourself into a victim
Please, please don't do what I did for much of my life and develop a victim mentality. Don't let yourself think you're a victim of bad luck or that the world's out to get you.
I've said over and over on inspiration-for-singles.com that how we respond to events is more important than the events themselves. Let's not be idiots and say that a bad diagnosis from your doctor is an opportunity to grow or that losing your job is the best thing that could happen to you.
But on the other hand, let's not catastrophize everything either.
If you're having a bad day and want to stop it, then quit overreacting to every potentially stressful event. By complaining that you're so stressed out, you set yourself up for a self-fulfilling prophecy.
If you can cultivate the ability to say, "Huh! This is inconvenient, but God and I can handle it," you turn "bad" events into solvable problems.
Yep, that may be easier said than done when you're having a bad day, but isn't it better than the alternative? We can always think of somebody who has it much, much worse than we do. That doesn't remove our problems, but it does put them in the proper perspective.
Time to put your foot down
When you put down your foot and decide to stop having a bad day, you'll find, to your surprise, that it actually works! Most of the things we let ourselves get upset over seem unimportant a week later, and a couple months later, we can't even remember them.
So don't be like I was. Take the term "bad day" out of your vocabulary right now, and the earlier in your life the better.
Let the Holy Spirit help you handle whatever life throws your way. Know, deep in your being, that when God is for you, you're not a victim any more.
Make a vow to be grateful and expect the best.
You'll be very surprised how those "bad days" start to disappear.

After winning 60-42 on Thursday night at CSU Bakersfield, the Broncos travel to San Luis Obispo for a 7 pm game at Cal Poly on Sat., Dec. 7. The Broncos are 4-1 vs. the Mustangs all-time, including a 72-64 home win last year.
The Broncos are 3-4 this season and picked up their first road win in Bakersfield on Thursday night behind three Broncos in double figures: Evan Roquemore (12), Nate Kratch (11) and Jerry Brown (10). Brown and Robert Garrett, off the bench, led the team with eight boards each and Jared Brownridge dished a game-high five assists.
Cal Poly is 2-5 this season, including 1-1 at home. The Mustangs lost 73-71 to the West Coast Conference's newest member, Pacific, on Nov. 30 after defeating North Dakota 70-43 on Nov. 29. It finished play in Eugene, Ore. on Dec. 1 with an 82-61 loss to host-Oregon. The Mustangs were picked third in the Big West Conference this year.
Ear, Eye
The Cal Poly-Santa Clara game will be broadcast live on KLIV 1590 AM and also SantaClaraBroncos.com. Anthony Passarelli is in his seventh season as the Broncos' play-by-play announcer. The game will be live streamed and can be found on GoPoly.com.
Look Back
With about nine minutes to go and the Bronco bigs struggling, Santa Clara went to four guards and one forward - a move that seemed to work in the two team's meeting last year on Dec. 17, 2012. "We worked to get our guards in the flow of the game more at that point. It's something we had worked on a lot in practice, but hadn't used very much in games," said Bronco head coach Kerry Keating. "They were a good team and the undersized line-up was pretty good for us in the second half."
The Broncos were led by Marc Trasolini, who led all scorers with 24, while also tallying seven boards and three blocks. Evan Roquemore, Raymond Cowels III and Kevin Foster also scored in double figures, 16, 12 and 10, respectively.
SCU leads the all-time series 4-1 with Cal Poly, including a 4-0 record at home. Prior to last year's home win, the Broncos played Cal Poly in Santa Clara and came away with a 73-58 victory on Dec. 10, 2005.
In the only meeting at Cal Poly, the Mustangs nipped the Broncos 98-89 on Dec. 12, 2004. Current Bronco video coordinator Kyle Bailey '05 had quite the game in San Luis Obispo back in 2004. He was just two assists from a triple double. In 37 minutes, he scored 29 points, including five threes and collected 14 boards and eight assists.
Mini-Recap: 2013
Before the Broncos 60-42 win at Bakersfield on Thursday, Santa Clara lost 91-85 to North Dakota State, the eventual champion, on Nov. 29. The next night, Santa Clara's comeback story wasn't finished successfully vs. Rice. Taking the lead with 6.7 second left, after being down by as many as 12 in the second half, Santa Clara couldn't stop a slashing Keith Washington from driving to the basket for a bucket and lost 67-66. Brandon Clark was named to the Cable Car Classic All-Tournament team after scoring 47 points in two games.
The Broncos started the year by defeating Bethesda on Nov. 8, 84-39, and then defeated cross-town rival San Jose State, 89-77, on Nov. 12. They dropped an 86-73 game at Cal State Fullerton on Nov. 17 and fell 84-69 at Notre Dame on Nov. 22.
The Broncos have four players averaging double figures in the scoring column in the early going: Brandon Clark is scoring 17.6 ppg, Jared Brownridge adds 15.3 ppg, Evan Roquemore 12.3 and Jerry Brown 10.1 ppg. Clark had scored 21+ points in four straight games, including a career-high 32 vs. North Dakota State, before he put up 15 on Nov. 30 vs. Rice and then nine at Bakersfield. He has helped his scoring average by making 30 of 35 free throws, including 7 of 7 vs. North Dakota State and 8 of 10 at Cal State Fullerton.
Brownridge leads the Broncos in threes made (21) and attempted (46). Roquemore, who has started the past three games after missing the first three games with a back issue, leads the team with 4.3 apg. Yannick Atanga, coming off the bench in the last three games, leads the team with 1.3 bpg and is second on the team with 6.0 rpg. Atanga had the 11th double-digit rebound game of his career vs. San Jose State. He led the league in rebounds last season.
Freshman-redshirt Nate Kratch started his first game at Bakersfield and played his best game for the Broncos to date. In 26 minutes he scored 11 points and grabbed two rebounds and two steals. He was a career-best 4 of 6 from the field, including a career-best 3 of 5 from beyond the arc.
Kratch made his first three on his first attempt in his first game for the Broncos. It should come as no surprise as Kratch comes from an athletic family! His dad, Bob, played football at Iowa and later won a Super Bowl ring with the NY Giants in 1991. His mother Kristi was a high jumper at Iowa and cleared a personal best of 5'11. His older brother Colby played tight end at Toledo University and is now a graduate assistant for the Rockets. His younger sister MacKenzie, 18, strives to be a Division I hockey player next year.
The athleticism doesn't end there for Kratch. His maternal grandmother played professional basketball for the Redheads and was inducted into the Professional Basketball Hall of Fame in New York City at Madison Square Garden last year. She once scored 70 points in a high school game, something she has reminded Nate of a few times during his high school career. And finally, his paternal grandfather played baseball at Long Island University and two Kratch Uncles played football at Cornell and Central College
Here Now
Jerry Brown leads the team with 6.6 rpg, including 7.3 in the last three games. He is averaging 10.3 ppg as he has started the last three games as well. Brown scored his third career double-double and his first for the Broncos with 16 points and 10 rebounds in the win over San Jose State. Marc Trasolini was the last Bronco to record a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds vs. Portland on Jan. 31, 2013.
Brown started his 100th career game on Nov. 30 and played at Fresno State prior to graduating last spring and coming to Santa Clara for his fifth season, a redshirt year. He is working on a Master's degree in Psychology.
Not So Much
Playing in the Rabobank Arena on Thursday night, which also serves as the home to Pacific Division Bakersfield Condors, a Edmonton Oilers farm team, Santa Clara was ice cold from the free throw line. .The Broncos were 7 of 21 (33.3 %), including 2 of 10 in the first half. The last time the Broncos shot at least 10 free throws and shot had such trouble? The Broncos lost 71-65 at Pacific on Nov. 23, 2004. In that game, they were 3 of 10, shooting 30.0 percent. The Broncos were fresh off their 77-66 victory over No. 4 North Carolina on Nov. 19, 2004.
Dishes Away
Evan Roquemore is just the third player in school history to score 1,300+ points and collect 500+ assists. The other two were Brian Jones (1,722 points, 517 assists, 1996-01) and two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash (1,689 points, 510 assists, 1992-96). Nash was named the WCC Player of the Year in 1995 and '96 and Jones was a three-time All-WCC First Team honoree.
Roquemore has a chance to break five Bronco career records this year. Entering the Cal Poly game, he is tied for No. 2 in assists, No. 3 in free throws made and No. 6 in minutes played. He is also on pace to break the records for games started (94) and games played (110). The games started career record was set last year by Kevin Foster (125) and the games played record was broken last year by Raymond Cowels III and Marc Trasolini (137).
Roquemore is tied at No. 2 with Nash with 510 assists. He needs just eight more to break the school recorded for career assists set by Brian Jones (517, 1996-01). With 423 career free throws made, Roquemore needs to make 52 free throws to break the school record of 470 set by Ken Sears in 1951-55. He is No. 4 all-time in free throw percentage at .806. Nash holds the school record at .861.
The team's lone 1,000+ career point scorer, Roquemore has started the past three games and is averaging 12.3 ppg this year. Roquemore came off the bench at 14:56 in the first half at Notre Dame for his first action this season. He missed the first three games with a back issue.
Roquemore sits at No. 17 with 1,365 career points. He needs to score 222 points to move past No. 10 Ken Sears (1,586 points, 1951-55) and 16 points to pass No. 16 Travis Niesen (1,380 points, 2002-06). Last year's Bronco team was the first team in West Coast Conference history to feature four 1,000 point career scorers. Along with Roquemore, the team had seniors Kevin Foster (No. 1, 2,423 points), Marc Trasolini (No. 5, 1,699 points) and Raymond Cowels III (No. 26, 1,090 points).
Roquemore needs to start two more games to jump into the top 10. He is No. 6 in career minutes played, passing Nash already this season, and enters the Cal Poly game with 3,519 minutes played. Foster also holds the record for minutes played with 4,212.

Brandon Clark was scoreless in the first game of the year vs. Bethesda, but he has been a tear since. Clark had a then-career high 23 points in back-to-back games vs. San Jose State and at Cal State Bakersfield. He had not scored 20 or more points his first two years, as 19 was his career best entering this season (vs. BYU, Feb. 18, 2012).
Clark added 21 at Notre Dame on Nov. 22 and on Nov. 29 he notched a new career-high of 32 points vs. North Dakota State. Clark made a career-high five of eight from beyond the arc vs. the Bisons. He was also 7 of 7 from the free throw line. But it wasn't his best game this year from the charity stripe, as he went 11 of 14 in the 89-77 victory over San Jose State on Nov. 12, 2013. Kevin Foster was the last Bronco to score 30+ on March 27, 2013 when he collected 33 in the Broncos' 81-69 victory at Wright State to advance to the CBI Final.
Clark had 21+ points in four straight games until he scored 15 points vs. Rice on Nov. 30 and then nine at Bakersfield. Looking back, Foster scored 23+ points in five straight games last year. He had 23 vs. LMU March 8; 23 vs. Vermont March 19; 34 at Purdue March 25; 33 at Wright State March 27 and 28 vs. George Mason April 1.
Clark was just the fourth Bronco since 2007-08 to score 20+ in four straight games. Foster did it twice (2013, 2011), Marc Trasolini once (2011).
