Learn More: eVisa
In April 2013, the Turkish government launched an easy online visa system that issues an e-Visa instead of the old "sticker visa". Once the information and payment is submitted, the visa is emailed to the traveler, and must be downloaded and printed out. The e-Visa should be shown to airport and customs officials in Turkey and kept safe for the duration of the stay. The e-Visa means no more going to local embassies or waiting in line at the airport to obtain a visa.
The Turkey e-Visa is extremely simple for travelers of over 40 countries. There are an additional 60 countries that can apply for an e-Visa, but they must meet certain additional requirements such as having a valid visa or residence permit from the Schengen, Ireland, United Kingdom or United States. Some countries also have age restrictions. The easiest way to view the requirements for these 60 additional countries is to visit our application page and enter your nationality.

Turkey is a country that has a lot of history, and the people there are very proud of it. Of course, you may have heard in the media that some bad things happened a while ago. Something about a coup d'etat. However, that does not mean the country is not safe for tourists. In fact, that has not changed at all, which is why Turkey receives a lot of visitors each year. If you want to go there as well, you should know that there are plenty of places and traditions you can enjoy. The Turkish people are generally welcoming, and you will know that every single time you are offered a cup of tea. Before you leave, there are some rules you need to follow. Just like in any other country you may go to, you need to know a list of dos and don'ts. It is traveling 101. You cannot travel without knowing what you are allowed and not when you visit a new location. With that being said, here is what you need to know before going to Turkey. The first thing you need to be aware of is that you need to follow a dress code. As you may very well know, Turkey is a country mostly populated by Muslims. Even if you are a tourist, you cannot walk around wearing just about anything. There are no specific rules for men, but women should always wear clothes that cover the shoulders and the knees. Also, if you are a woman and you want to visit a mosque, you need to have a scarf that you can cover your head with before entering. Another rule about entering a religious site is that you cannot keep your shoes on, regardless of the gender. Speaking of restrictions, Turkish people frown upon public displays of affection. It may seem odd to you, but they do not like seeing people kissing or hugging in public. It is okay if you and your partner are holding hands, but that is just about it. However, Turkey is not a country known for its tolerance for LGBT couples, so even if it is just holding hands, they will still give you a dissatisfied glance. If you ever find yourself in Turkey during the Muslim's month of fasting, which called Ramadan, you should avoid eating in public from dawn until dusk. You do not have to fast with them, of course, but you should at least respect their tradition. They are holding this tradition very dearly, and you do not want to show disrespect. Leaving restrictions aside, there are a whole bunch of things that you can do in Turkey that will entertain you. You cannot visit Turkey without going to one of their famous bazaars. The smell when you get there will make you want to live in one of those markets. You can find all kinds of things from souvenirs and other merchandise to spices and pastries. And the pastries are to die for. You need to try their baklava. You will never manage to replicate the recipe, no matter how much you try. When visiting bazaars or other markets, you should probably prepare your skills. Turkish people love to bargain, and if you see products that do not have a price tag on them, it means that the seller expects you to give an offer. It can be fun to bargain with a Turkish vendor, just make sure that you let him or her know that you are doing it for fun. You do not want to leave the impression that the products on sale are not worth their value. At the same time, you can expect to be ripped off once or twice. The prices will not be the same during different tours, and in Turkey, it is all about connections. However, do not take it as an insult. Treat it as experience and move on. There is no need for confrontation or anything. Your loss is not worth the conflict. Food in Turkey is absolutely delicious. The Turkish cuisine can satisfy all diets, and if you are a vegetarian, you should probably know that the people there can make any vegetable taste amazing with some olive oil and spices. When you are invited to eat with someone, it can be construed as rude to not eat everything on your plate. The thing is that Turkish meals are pretty significant, but since the food is delicious, you should not have too many issues leaving your plate clean. You will be drinking a lot of coffee and tea in Turkey, but try to avoid tap water since it does not have the best quality. Especially if you have a sensitive stomach, it is recommended that you always buy bottled water. Remember that Turkey is more than Istanbul, Ankara, and other such large cities. There are beautiful landscapes all over the country, and you should not limit yourself to the urban areas. Sure, you may not have the same facilities, but keep in mind that Turkey has mountains and sea. You can take a tour through nature and admire the beautiful scenery. If you want to lay on the beach all day, one of the tourists' favorite is Antalya. It is a small piece of paradise where people go to have an exotic (ish) vacation. Unlike other Muslim countries, Turkey does allow alcohol drinking. The locals are not drinkers, but they are aware of the tourists. Even so, you will not find alcoholic beverages in all stores. You may have to look for a while. International hotels usually have alcohol on their bars' shelves, but you can ask the locals where to get a beer from as well. Turkey has plenty of attractions to offer. You will have a wonderful time there. Just do not leave Turkey without visiting the famous Turkish hammams. You probably heard about the Turkish baths. It is an incredibly relaxing experience, and nobody in the world can replicate the Turkish hammam like the Turkish. Obviously. Other than that, enjoy Turkey, even if you are somewhat restricted.

CULTURE: Buzz Box: Tom & Emily make their duo debut
Tom Proutt and Emily Gary's quiet collaboration led an imperiled existence until recently: though they began working together in 2003, when they first met while recording Proutt's album Farm Jazz, the two have been too busy as in-demand collaborators to focus on their own project. They frequently perform with Lisa Roberson, for example, and were both also involved with the similarly-minded debut album released last year by local songwriter Mary Gordon Hall.
But in late 2006, schedules finally cleared, and the duo found themselves with more time with which to complete their debut duo recording, which had been sitting on the shelf for two and a half years.
"We didn't live with the record for two years," says Proutt, "We were busy with other projects."
But they also say that it wasn't too hard to pull it all together in the end. That's doubtless due in part to their minimalist tendencies: "we wanted it to be a sound that we could reproduce live," says Gary, "There's not a lot of extra instrumentation."
For example, there are no drums on the record, though the release party will feature Daren Snapp on percussion. Proutt gets excited about that; it's easy to imagine him on the other end of the phone line with the same smirk he's wearing in all three of the photos in the CD insert.
"We have a three piece setup where I play electric guitar," he says, "A lot of the fingerpicking stuff translates well." The duo is making a bid for Floydfest this year, where they hope to use the louder format, since it isn't always appropriate at some of the other venues they frequent.
The drive down to Floyd should be interesting, to say the least: Proutt explains that most of his songwriting efforts take place in the car. Gary describes his long drives to New York City songwriting workshops with a minidisc player planted in the passenger seats, but Proutt says that's a luxury he saves for longer trips. "Most of my writing is with a legal pad," he says, "I don't need an instrument to compose."
Proutt says he gets plenty of time to compose because of all the traveling his lifestyle demands, and Gary thinks his output reflects this. "I can go to Tom on Monday afternoon and say, 'We need to write a song about blah-blah-blah,' and the next day he's got a sketch," she says, "He's really prolific."
Here, the second song on the album is the most outlandish "blah" of them all– you have to respect someone who can launch a song with a line like "What's the big deal about sliced bread?"
Tom Proutt and Emily Gary have their release party at Gravity Lounge on Saturday, January 13 at 8pm. $5,
Tom Proutt and Emily Gary exhibit a quiet sound on their album, but hope to crank it up at this year's Floydfest.

Here's a nice little experiential campaign from Australian bank NAB. They launched their new Honesty Shouldn't Go Unrewarded piece with a real time stunt that saw honest passersby thanked in real time for returning lost objects.
The stunt was set in a mall where shoppers were given the opportunity to return lost property. After returning the object, stunned shoppers began to see themselves on pop up on posters, tv screens and even on the top of a cake. Check out the video above which shows the rewarded people being thanked and their surprised reaction. This real-life piece is just the start of NAB's new campaign that surrounds the notion of honesty. It's a nice feel good piece from Clemenger BBDO Melbourne.

Traditional elements unchanged include the use of USDA Prime beef dry-aged for a minimum of 30 days, and generously portioned servings, evidenced by the 32-ounce rib-eye and the 34-ounce prime rib.
Best Steakhouse on the Strip: Old Homestead Steakhouse. In continually reinvented Las Vegas, the intersection of old and new is a rare phenomenon. The arrival of an outpost of New York's 144-year-old Old Homestead Steakhouse at Caesars Palace joins the two while simultaneously taking steakhouse fare to the next level.
Fine Dining: When we want a fancy meal in Sin City, but we're not willing to pay about double the prices at some of the restaurants at the Bellagio, we head over to Caesars Palace for an equally-charming meal and cut of steak at the Old Homestead Steakhouse Vegas. The environment is a little less pretentious. Or at least they can't smell the cheap on us when we walk through the door.
…the food here is ******* fantastic.

The latest film Oscar winner James Marsh ("Man on Wire") , "Project Nim," chronicles a Columbia University professor's ill-fated attempt to raise a chimp like a human baby, in an effort to teach it sign language. It's an experiment as poorly executed as Marsh's film is fantastic.
In November of 1973 Prof. Herbert Terrace arranged for a former student, Stephanie LaFarge--who was married and had a Brady Bunch-esque menagerie of seven kids--to take in a young newborn chimp, Nim Chimpsky (named for famed linguist Noam Chomsky), and try to teach him sign language.
Sitting here in the 21st Century, just two years removed from the horrifying chimp attack on a Connecticut woman that left her without a face or hands, it's easy to see that Project Nim was a patently bad idea. Not since Steve McQueen in "Papillion" has a captor suffered such an array of abuses and betrayals at the hands the hands of his jailers. Yet, as LaFarge's daughter notes with a rueful and embarrassed laugh, "It was the '70s…"
Like a lot of humans, Nim loved kittens, yogurt, booze and pot. But he also possessed the strength to grab you by the arm and beat you against a wall like rag doll, and could bite through your cheek in the blink of an eye.
Watching Terrace recollect the whole thing, it seems pretty clear that he knows his behavior—with regards to both humans and chimps—during this time was something short of awesome. Yet he shrugs off his treatment of his students by saying, "Why not?," and at some point along the way, Nim becomes nothing more to him than a tool with which to acquire power and fame.
Marsh is a brilliant storyteller, and the candor he teases out of his interview subjects is remarkable. And the way in which he weaves the interviews together with the archival footage drives home just how monstrously Nim was treated.
Like any great story about animals, "Project Nim" is much more about humans—their frailties, vanities, indiscretions, blind spots, self-delusions—leaving you a little bit sad and a little bit angry that it took the suffering of a chimp to expose us for who we are.
"Project Nim" goes into limited release Friday, July 8.

St. John's and Mary Immaculate Hospitals will be auctioned off October 16, eight months after Caritas Healthcare, the company that operated the facilities, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The starting bid for St. John's in Elmhurst is $13 million. The opening bid for Mary Immaculate in Jamaica is a more modest $4.35 million.
The closed Queens hospitals were purchased for a reported $40 million from Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Center, but could fetch a much lower price at Thursday's auction.
Larry Weiss, the vice president of the firm auctioning off the properties for Caritas, said he was confident the auction would go well.
"We think there will be a lot of interest," Weiss said in a statement. "This is an opportunity to acquire a great asset in the middle of very strong markets."
The St. John's facility has 257,500 square feet, and comes with a 86,400-square-foot garage.
Mary Immaculate is slightly larger, at 301,499 square feet, and comes with a 99,420-square-foot garage and valuable medical equipment.
The buildings are currently zoned for residential and/or commercial use. The new owners will not be required to reopen the hospitals or build new ones on the site.
Weiss said several parties are interested in the sites. (Daniel Bush)

Dying to Meet Him: The Grieving Process
Gabrielle "Elle" Devenish, a 30-year-old single Christian woman, was told by doctors that she has 6 months to a year to live.
"My heart, lungs, bones and muscles have all deteriorated beyond repair, according to doctors. My white blood cell count continues to match that of a last-stage chemo patient and my electrolytes are always on the edge."

The Grieving Process
Originally posted February 12, 2012
Despite all the praise I've been receiving for being so strong, I really am weak. The only strength I have right now is through my Savior, as days like today, my human body is just a shaky, weeping mess.
It is not for me to ask why, I don't have to know. I know God has a plan through all of this and my only job is to glorify Him.
But God, I just want You to know how much it hurts too! I can't stand losing motor skills and brain capacity. I am becoming more and more vegetative, having to rest all the time, and I have very little emotional regulation. I feel so very out of control.
I guess that's it, it's that word again: CONTROL.
I don't have control over my life, nor do I have control over my death – long or short, hurtful or not. He has the ultimate control; He knows my days. My breaths are in his hands. I will continue to endure until He has completed the good work He promises He has begun in me.
At the same time, I see so many others hurting. My friend Lesley, who was coming from Colorado to see me today, got in a terrible accident on some icy roads and had to turn around and head for home.
Satan wants to make me feel guilty for her accident (if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been driving to St. George and she wouldn't have had a car accident). Those are messages that are so false and full of guilt; I know God is not the author of such suggestions.
I am reminded of Jesus asking God in the Garden, "Father, if You are willing, let this cup pass from me"; I am feeling that. But my tears end with peaceful resolve as I remember the next words Jesus said: "Nevertheless, not MY will but Yours be done."
Lord Jesus, that is my prayer also. And I face much less than He did in the Garden. Jesus has already walked this path, so now He can walk me through it.
I just have to take His hand.

Selena Gomez is paying tribute to her dear friend Christina Grimmie through the power of music.
In the middle of her concert Saturday night in Miami, the "Come and Get It" singer took a moment to honor "The Voice" singer with a special dedication.
"One thing about Christina and her family is that she holds her faith so closely to her," Selena told the crowd before wiping away tears. "I think it's not about a religion and it's not about good deeds. I think she just had faith and I don't really understand how this really happened, but I would like to dedicate this song to her."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The singer then headed to the piano where she delivered an emotional performance of "Transfiguration."
Selena's concert comes just hours after the star posted a throwback photo of herself having fun with her good friend. "My heart is absolutely broken," she captioned the picture. "I miss you Christina."
She later shared a message from her stepfather who served as Christina's manager.
"Words cannot begin to describe the pain I am feeling. I learned this business through the eyes of a father and Christina was like a second daughter to me. All I wanted to do was assist her in achieving her musical dreams while protecting her from the pitfalls associated with the business," Brian Teefey wrote on a GoFundMe page benefiting Christina's family. "I never could have imagined this horrific event being one of the pitfalls needing to be avoided."
Selena and Christina first met after Brian discovered the singer on YouTube. The pair would end up performing together as part of the "Stars Dance" and "We Own the Night" tours.
"They're literally like a family—Selena has been so encouraging ever since we got hooked up," Christina once shared with Seventeen. "It's crazy! It's very much a fairy tale."

National Faith Leaders to Protest Anti-Muslim Hearings
Senior national religious leaders of several faiths including Jews, Christians and Muslims will express their concerns about the format of Rep. Peter King's congressional hearings on the radicalization of American Muslims
WASHINGTON - Senior national religious leaders of several faiths including, Jews, Christians and Muslims will converge on Capitol Hill Thursday to protest Representative Peter King's (R-N.Y.) congressional hearings on the radicalization of the American Muslim community.
Following the House Committee on Homeland Security's hearing, the religious leaders will issue a statement voicing their opposition to the congressional inquiries and launch a national interfaith campaign to promote tolerance and to work for an end to anti-Muslim bigotry before meeting with Congressional and Administration officials.

As a result, the religious leaders are launching a national interfaith campaign to promote tolerance and to work for an end to anti-Muslim bigotry. This campaign, which will be officially unveiled Thursday's, is called "Shoulder-to-Shoulder: Standing with American Muslims; Upholding American Values."
Senior national faith leaders who will speak:

Disabled visitors to five of the UK's most popular price comparison websites are not being provided with sufficient tools to successfully use the sites, which is a breach of laws on discrimination, a charity has said.
AbilityNet said a review of comparethemarket.com, gocompare.com, mysupermarket.co.uk and confused.com has revealed that the websites were non-compliant with provisions of the Equality Act (EQA). A fifth website – kelkoo.co.uk – only satisfied some of the legal requirements of the EQA, the charity said.
AbilityNet said the review of the websites found problems such as "keyboard trap" pages that prevent keyboard-only users and those using screen reader technology from navigating away from certain content. Other issues, including insufficient contrasts between colours and problems with 'alt text' – which can help screen reader software communicate to blind users – were also reported.
"In this difficult financial climate price comparison sites play a significant role in making sure consumers get the possible deal," AbilityNet said in a report (39-page/2.51MB PDF) into its review findings. "This is especially important for people with disabilities who often have less disposable income than others."
"Our review found that most of the websites are either difficult or impossible for disabled people to use – which means they can't access that all-important price comparison information," it said.
Under the EQA discrimination by providers of services, goods and facilities is prohibited. While the EQA does not expressly refer to websites, the consensus has been that the reference to the "provision of a service" applies to commercial web services as much as to traditional services.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EQHRC) has published a Code under the EQA which came into force last year and provides authoritative advice on those provisions of the EQA relevant to service providers. The Code explicitly states that websites are included under the ambit of the EQA for the provision of services: "Websites provide access to services and goods, and may in themselves constitute a service, for example, where they are delivering information or entertainment to the public."
The EQA imposes a duty on service providers to make "reasonable adjustments" to enable disabled persons to access their services.
AbilityNet's review consisted of its consultants examining "charts" produced on the accessibility of the sites by accessibility testing software. Individuals of varying disabilities were also challenged to complete set tasks on the sites.
In a statement Robin Christopherson of AbilityNet said: "Like everyone else in these hard times the country's 12 million disabled people want to get the best deal when they're shopping, whether that's for insurance, groceries or anything else. But these cash strapped shoppers are losing out due to badly designed web pages that prevent them from shopping around and accessing the online bargains they need to make ends meet."
"The law is clear on this issue. It is just as illegal to bar disabled visitors from accessing your goods and services online as it would be to keep them out of your shop in the 'real world'. Whilst no company would do this knowingly, as this report shows there are plenty of high profile sites that are contravening the Equality Act (2010) by not considering their disabled customers," Christopherson said.
The Daily Telegraph has reported the websites' responses to the AbilityNet review.
"We take accessibility seriously," James Foord, at mysupermarket.com, said. "However, we are constantly refining the technology behind our site to make the shopping journey even easier, to enable as many people as possible to do their grocery shopping online from the comfort of their homes."
A comparethemarket.com spokesman told the paper: "We are always looking at ways to improve what we do, and are currently reviewing AbilityNet's findings."
Both gocompare.com and kelkoo.co.uk said they will try to work with AbilityNet in a bid to improve access for disabled individuals, according to the Telegraph. Confused.com did not comment.

Territorial Census, 1855, District 13
January-February, 1855
This census was taken in order to determine eligible voters for elections to be held as proclaimed by Governor Andrew Reeder on November 10, 1854. The categories for information in the census were name, occupation, age, male, female, emigrated from, native of United States, naturalized citizen, declarant (intention to become a citizen), Negro, slave, and voter. Only white males over 21 were eligible to vote. The districts used for the census were the same as the election districts. A statistical summary of the census follows the enumeration pages. For District 13 the place of election was the house of G. M. Dyer, at the town of Ozawkie. The boundaries of each district were described in Governor Reeder's proclamation and it is difficult to determine what counties were in each district. The description of the Thirteenth District follows: "Commencing in the Kansas River, three miles above the mouth of Stranger Creek; thence in a northwardly direction by a line three miles west of said creek, and corresponding to the courses thereof until it shall strike the southern line of the last Kickapoo reservation; thence along the southern and western line of said reservation, and the western line of the late Sac and Fox reservation to the north line of the Territory; thence west along said line to the line of the Twelfth District; thence by the same and down Soldier's Creek to the mouth thereof, and down the Kansas River to the place of beginning." Districts 13 and 15 are included in one volume and are scanned as one as it is difficult to determine which entries are in what district.

Allen shines at Fullcourt Press Vegas Showcase
LAS VEGAS- Dinos Trigonis has been a very busy man lately as he's run showcase events from coast to coast during October. Wednesday night, Trigonis ran the Fullcourt Press Las Vegas Fall Showcase at Bishop Gorman high school. As one would figure, Shabazz Muhammad was dominant but younger brother Rashad is making a move and junior forward Rosco Allen is a unique prospect.
Las Vegas Showcase Standouts
Rosco Allen, SF/PF- Let the debate rage. Analysts and coaches are going to spend a lot of time discussing whether the slender 6-foot-8 junior is a small, power or combo forward. Watch him play and you can make an effective argument for him being best suited for any of those roles. He is an exceptional ball handler with a very nasty crossover for a guy his size and he wants to get to the rim. He shoots it with range, runs the floor and looks like a legitimate candidate to be a five-star prospect. He's got a very, very long list of suitors just some of whom are UCLA, Louisville, Indiana, UNLV, Arizona State, Stanford and Harvard.
Shabazz Muhammad, SG- A top five prospect nationally in the class of 2012, there aren't many guys more explosive to the rim. He's a relentless competitor and has a polished mid-post game that compliments his transition finishing. There's not a better rebounding wing, he plays smart and the jumper continues to evolve. Muhammad is noticeably stronger and he's a violent slam dunker who attacks the rim whenever he can.
Ben Carter, PF- It's probably time that the 6-foot-7 power forward start getting some more attention. A junior, he teams with Muhammad and Allen at Bishop Gorman to form an impressive trio. Much more aggressive than last season, he's a confident and skilled scorer with excellent quickness along the baseline. He's already got offers from New Mexico, Utah State, BYU, Nevada and Santa Clara.
Demond Billingsly, SG- Playing up a class in the junior game, the 6-foot-2 sophomore is an intriguing prospect at the two. He's tough, very athletic and plays with plenty of confidence. He was smoking hot from deep and needs little space or time to get his jumper off. His body allows him to take some bumps and finish against bigger guys.
Rashad Muhammad, SG/PG- Now grown to a legit 6-foot-4, the skinny sophomore is expected to start at the point this winter for Bishop Gorman. He plays a completely different game than his older brother Shabazz, but he is starting to develop a little bit of his confidence. Handles smoothly, can hit pull-up jumpers and looks to be on the cusp of taking the next step as a prospect. He mentioned offers from UNLV, SMU, Northwestern and USC. Memphis is also poking around.
Diontae Jones, SF- An athletic 6-foot-3 freshman small forward, Jones should see pretty good action at Las Vegas Arbor View. He can elevate for slams in traffic, rebounds relentlessly and is a vocal leader. He's just feeling his way around out there now, but he's got potential.
Shaquille Carr, PG- It's not going to take long for Carr to develop into a fan favorite at Las Vegas Canyon Springs. Only 5-foot-10, he's an electric athlete with quickness, body control and well above average leaping ability. He plays a flashy style but can score or get others involved. Had what was easily the play of the day when he threw a self/bounce alley-oop on the break and finished while getting hammered.
More notes from Las Vegas
6-foot-7 forward Shawn Jones from the Impact Basketball Academy looked good in the senior game. Strong and athletic, he was very aggressive around the rim and attacked a few times off of the dribble. … Michael Louder is a skinny 6-foot-7 power forward at Henderson Coronado on the Southeast side of Vegas. The junior can't weigh much more than 190 pounds but he runs the floor well, has explosive leaping ability and he can shoot a 12 foot jumper. Not bad tools for a guy to start with. … Another intriguing junior power forward is 6-foot-6 Evan Martin from Las Vegas Centennial. Runs the floor pretty well, is a sneaky athlete and he's got pretty good feel around the rim. … 6-foot-5 lefty wing Tyler Ott made the trip to Vegas from Desert Hills in St. George, Utah. The junior can shoot the ball pretty, has good speed and will only get better as he adds strength. Sometimes he makes some silly mistakes, but they seem to come out of playing hard. …
The award for furthest distance traveled went to junior wing Jal Rial who came all the way in from Anchorage, Alaska for the event. The 6-foot-3 Rial is a pretty good ball handler, has a knack for getting to the rim and plays hard. He looks to have legitimate division one potential. … Freshman Darryl Gaynor from Las Vegas Palo Verde lacks little for confidence. A 5-foot-11 combo guard, he's wired to score whether it be via jumpers or quick drives into the lane. … Impact Academy freshman Keondre Drew is all arms and legs right now. But, the 6-foot-6 big man has a good motor, a knack for picking up loose balls and a fair skill level. … Last but not least, we do have to mention the performance of near 6-foot-8 lefty big man Stephen Zimmerman from North Las Vegas. He looks awkward until the ball gets in his hand and he becomes a remarkably polished scorer and fluid athlete given his size and age. He swished home threes, blocked shots and impressed. He's very young so who knows what happens down the road, but he would appear to have plenty of potential. …

In the Spotlight: Julie Bechtold, Director of Career Development
by Mark Donahue
In the wake of the recent recession the news has only now begun to brighten, slightly, about the U.S. job market. But college students continue to attend classes, graduate and, yes, expect to find careers once they leave campus.
It can be a daunting task, but Julie Bechtold, NLU's new Director of Career Development, is up to the challenge. Bechtold leads an energetic team that's focused on student engagement, and a new direction in the new year looks to align the work of her office even closer with NLU's academic mission.
Bechtold said this goes beyond a student just having a good resume and cover letter. It's about equipping someone for life to manage his or her career.
"Our goal is to make sure that when a student graduates, they're career ready," she said. "That they're either in process of finding a job, or they have a job, or they know exactly what their next step is."
A career path can certainly have twists and turns — something Bechtold knows from her own life. And she brings this perspective, which spans higher ed and the public and private sectors, to the task of evolving career services to a whole new level.
Career Change
About 10 years after she graduated college, Bechtold experienced something many adults — if not most — face at some point in their working lives: a mid-career crisis. Unhappy with her job, she quit and enrolled in Northern Illinois University's master's in counseling program. She wanted to become a therapist and midway through her very first class felt confident that's what she would do.
But her path went in an unexpected direction. While she had an internship at a private therapy practice during her master's studies, Bechtold also worked at an Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) unemployment office, helping people with their resumes, cover letters and job searches. And there she felt a spark.
"I loved it," Bechtold said. "I love helping people. And it just was this natural thing that came to me."
She made a contact in her work through IDES that lead to a second internship at Lee Hecht Harrison, an outplacement firm that works with reorganizing and downsizing companies. Many of these offer career services as part of severance packages, and Lee Hecht Harrison provides workers with resume reviews and other job search aides. Bechtold found herself doing this work and enjoying it, just as she did at the unemployment office.
When she got her master's, Bechtold said she had one client in her private practice and a nice job offer from Lee Hecht Harrison. She chose the latter and ended up staying six years. Eventually she heard about an opportunity with a Chicago college and landed a job as career services director with The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
It was a wonderful experience, Bechtold said, but she was laid off after three and half years. She took some time to reassess her situation, studying for and attaining her Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) designation. She also did consulting work for NIU, helping the school's career center in its work on a four-year model to build career awareness through all phases of a student's time in college.
This model grabbed the attention of National Louis. HR staff reached out to Bechtold through LinkedIn — a channel she promotes heavily in her work at NLU today. Bechtold was hired in September as head of the new Career Development office and hit the ground running with a new staff and vision of helping students find jobs.
Working Today
Bechtold is joined by Helen Roy, Career Readiness Advisor, and Emily Drake, Employer Outreach Specialist. Roy does a lot of one-on-one work with students, helping them build resumes and cover letters, as well as directing them to other student resources and giving career development presentations in classes.
Drake, who was hired as part of the Education to Employment (E2) Initiative, primarily works with the employment needs of veteran and Harrison Fellow students. She's also the main point of contact for employers that want to hire NLU students. Bechtold said NLU's relationship with local employers is very good, and Drake is working to grow those links further and establish new ones.
Beyond this current work, NLU Career Development is taking a closer look at the widest-reaching tool at a university's disposal today: the Internet. The office is currently redesigning its Web site to make more resources available 24/7 — everything from resume guides and sample resumes to interviewing tips and tutorials on building LinkedIn profiles.
NLU's student body, which tends to be older, and the specialized tracks many of its students — for example, those seeking advanced degrees in education — might seem like extra challenges in the job market. But Bechtold sees quite the opposite.
At The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Bechtold assisted master's and doctoral-level students in finding work in psychology. To her, Career Development should approach a student seeking, say, an M.Ed. or Ed.D. no differently than anyone else.
"What we do is equip students to be prepared for job search success," she said.
And as for NLU's older student population — many career-changers much like herself — Bechtold believes they already have an awareness of the job market that comes with experience.
"I think that gives us an advantage because I think students — if they have some work experience — are already attuned to the need for something like this, so I think I our message of getting them involved in this and their buy-in will be really good," she said.
What NLU students will be buying into is a new model for delivering career services — one that goes far beyond the traditional experience.
Working Tomorrow
If you've already been to college, you might remember scrambling to find the career office the last semester of your studies. Some students may have never even put together a resume before getting their diploma. Bechtold wants to change that.
"A student will not leave NLU saying 'I never knew about career development and the help I can get,'" she said. "That's not acceptable."
In an interesting twist, NLU Career Development has been brought into the newly formed Student Services area under the direction of the President's office — an important change as NLU embarks upon a more systematic approach to achieving an unparalleled student experience.
"As you start to matriculate in, you will be engaging in career development conversations and activities that will continue throughout the entire student cycle because NLU is committed to this kind of help, supporting your professional development and career development along the way," Bechtold said.
She outlined a new road map she's helping to finalize this year that will follow NLU students through their time at school with career-building benchmarks along the way. Some examples include self-assessment of skills at the start of studies, through service learning and interviewing practice, to creating a job search action plan before graduation.
Bechtold added that this is being created with a third-party Web application in mind that will help deliver a lot of the content and services — things like self-assessments and lists of ideal job and company types. Bechtold also said exploration is being done to see how this Web app might interface with the new Desire2Learn (D2L) online learning platform as part of students' coursework process, further tying it into the academic experience.
The new Career Development road map is still in process, but Bechtold said she hopes it can be rolled out as NLU's new general education offerings are released later this year. She believes it's the cutting edge of college career services — something that sets NLU apart.
"We really are going to be unique, and I know it will give NLU students a competitive edge in the marketplace," Bechtold said.
Next Steps
As Career Development prepares to embark on the rest of its 2013, Bechtold said her office will have to be agile, continuing to offer the services it always has while mixing in the aspects of the office's new vision along the way.
The dedication of her team and of the rest of the faculty and staff at NLU has impressed Bechtold. Working in this environment inspires her to pursue her mission of making sure all students know how to develop and manage their careers.
"I love what I do," Bechtold said, "and if I can do that — I'm not that special — everyone can reach that same point."

Two Complimentary Brands: Aloe Plus; CoCo Plus
We need a logo, product label (wraparound) for a squarish bottle (four panels--two on each side), for an imported Aloe Vera beverage.
There are two brands to consider. One is called Aloe Plus and it is the Mother Ship so to speak. The second is a sister brand (or a daughter) called CoCo plus. The two should not look identical but consumers should be able to know that they are a "Yin and a Yang". Not completely separate but more like a sub brand or a family of brands. Coconut juice is different than Aloe Juice and to that extent they should be different. However these two brands are like a Mother and Daughter.
Aloe Plus CoCo Plus
The first brand is called Aloe Plus. A new, AMAZING tasting, Refreshing, Healthy Aloe Vera Based Beverage (with many flavors like Aloe Vera with Watermelon, etc) with small itty bitty chunks of Aloe Vera and fruit. Very Healthy (Cleopatra used to drink it). Upscale. Imported Look. Label/Logo should be clean.
The second brand is called CoCo Plus and is a line of upscale, healthy, coconut juices with flavors (like Coconut Juice with Strawberry for example). These taste AMAZING! All of the flavors are clear and all of the flavors have Coconut pulp sacs (bits and pieces). Very Healthy. Upscale. Imported Look. Label/Logo should be clean. It should compliment and work together with Aloe Plus.
What people say about the health benefits of aloe vera juice... You feel better...Aids digestion...Great for your skin...It clears out the mucus in your body...Aloe vera reduces inflammation...It's soap for your intestines...You get more energy drinking aloe...Aloe smoothes out your skin...Aloe vera juice fills you up...It improves the circulation and digestion...High in 20 Amino Acids, building blocks, for maintaining health...Immune System Booster
Used in biblical days!
- Item 1...Clean, upscale, imported looking, logo and labels that will fit on a square bottle. AI template is available for anyone who wants to work with the actual dimensions.
- Item 1...Too busy

Industry News for David Singer Enterprises
401-B Yelvington Ave
Clearwater, Florida 33755-4861
Dr. David Singer Appeals to Chiropractors to Help in the Action to Save the Lives and Happiness of America's Children
Unbeknownst to many Americans, a battle has been raging for the last few decades over parents' rights to control medication of their children. The psychotropic drugging of America's children, ostensibly to improve conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), has become a $28 billion a year industry - an industry utilizing the shakiest of opinion-based criteria instead of scientific fact.
Parents of school-aged children are finding themselves subjected to intense pressure to medicate their children at the wish of school administrators and counselors. Now, Dr. David Singer calls upon the powerful group composed of chiropractors and their patients to take effective action to protect parents' rights.
"Parents all around the country have been threatened with prosecution for medical neglect or child abuse if they do not agree to medicate their children in accordance with the wishes of school administrators and guidance counselors," Dr. Singer stated. "As chiropractors understand better than anyone the dangers of drugs, we, as a group and as individuals, must act to protect our children from this danger."
What are the facts of this epidemic of drug prescriptions?
Nationwide reports of coercion by school officials have led to legislation in 19 states that limits the power of school officials to use threats and coercion to administer psychiatric drugs. Now before the U.S. Senate is a new bill creating a mandate from the federal level that "protects children and their parents from being coerced into administering psychotropic medication in order to attend school, and for other purposes," known as the Child Medication Safety Act of 2003. This bill has passed in the House of Representatives and needs all possible support to pass in the Senate.
Max Burns (R-GA), a major sponsor of the bill, commented that "[T]he decision to medicate a child belongs in the hands of parents and their child's pediatrician or psychiatrist, not the public school system administrators. No parent should be forced to medicate a child in order for that child to attend school."2
To clarify the necessity for supporting this bill, Dr. Singer referred to the story of Shaina Dunkle. In 1999, Shaina was a beautiful eight-year-old girl in second grade when her teachers decided she was "too active" and "talked out of turn." The school psychologist pressured Shaina's mother, Vicky Dunkle, to have Shaina evaluated for ADHD. The psychiatrist doing the evaluation prescribed a psychiatric drug after a 30-minute evaluation and no tests or physical exams. Later, two more drugs were prescribed. On February 26, 2001, Mrs. Dunkle received the news that Shaina had suffered a slight seizure at school and had fallen out of her seat. Mrs. Dunkle took Shaina to the doctor but while there, Shaina began convulsing. As her mother held her in her arms, Shaina died. Mrs. Dunkle said, "As I held her in my arms, she looked into my eyes as her life ended and I could do nothing to save her. If I had followed my heart instead of the advice of OEprofessionals' who thought they knew my daughter better than I did, my precious Shaina would be alive now."3
Dr. Singer stated, "There are more than six million children in this country who are taking psychiatric drugs related to being labeled an ADHD sufferer. Our next generation is severely at risk and we must each act to reverse this situation."
He then explained how easy it can be to support H.R. 1170: "If each Chiropractor notifies their senators about their support of H.R. 1170 and encourages their patients to do the same, we can play a critical role in the passage of this bill and the protection of our children now and in the future." Anyone wishing to obtain a sample H.R. 1170 support letter and the address of their Senators can contact Fabian Padro at David Singer Enterprises by calling 800-326-1797.

Where's the sniper logo?
[Re: October 17, 2002 cover story: "Death 101: Behind the scenes at sniper school"] (http://www.readthehook.com/92610/cover-story-killer-course-school-civili...):
I'm really disappointed that the major television networks have been working this sniper story for about two weeks without generating a good intro graphic. You know, something like a crosshair dancing shakily across the smudged faces of a crowd, then the words "America: A Region Trembles" crawl across the screen, and the crosshairs dissolve into the lowercase "o" in "Region" while a synthesized bass-driven chorus does some kind of Gotterdammerung riff sampled from Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana," and then background dissolves into a wall of flame that fades as the camera cuts to the scowling Ashleigh Banfield-wannabee, who reminds us that the police have provided no new information on the killer since the last time we saw the intro, then starts conversing with an analyst who speculates anew about the sniper's grudge while standing in the thicket of satellite broadcast equipment that has taken root in the Montgomery County Government Center parking lot.
Something like that, or at least something derived from the old Ironside opening. You know– a couple of silhouettes, a sound effect, and a saxophone.
If we are merely left to the solid, sober facts of crime and hasn't lived up to its potential– or the rich traditions of cable reportage set by Geraldo– in this matter. How many Americans have to die before Roger Ailes says we're worthy of a snappy animated lead-in?
Oops. Just saw CNN. The network is now opening newscasts with, "SNIPER ON THE LOOSE: The Hunt for a Killer." Well, I guess it's a start.

Maremonte Wine Exports
I'm a young female entrepreneur and ready to take on the wine export business. The business is exporting Calfornia wines to countries throughout the world...anywhere from Taiwan to Germany! The name, "Maremonte," means "the sea and the mountains." The business is located in the Central Coast, California and the wineries I work with are located here. The Central Coast, CA is best known for its' beauty and its' location, between the sea and the mountains. The culture of the business needs to be attractive to people on an international level, as my customers (wine importers) will be a very diverse group of people. I love traveling and wine and to me it means, culture, romance, love, intellect, and sophistication.
Maremonte Wine Exports needs to target wine importers. Importers from all over the world can access the website to find the wines available for export and the logo will be incorporated into the website. It is really the only image they have of the company so it needs to stand out and be attractive. Remember people from all over the world will see this so the logo should be striking to a number of different nationalities.
Jpg files must be provided.
Design must be original and will be trademarked in the future.
I would like to incorporate a wine bottle, but am open to other ideas and creations.
Text should be Romantic and legible.
The logo should look good in black & white but I would like to see a little splash of color.
Do not want something Cartoony.
Have fun and be creative, thank you very much!

You sip some nectar, and suddenly, a flash of yellow.
A wolf is at your door.
It's a beewolf, a crabronid wasp from the genus Philanthus, as identified by Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology at UC Davis, and native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, UC Davis emeritus professor of entomology.
Beewolves, also known as bee hunters, prey upon small bees, thus their name. They carry their kill to their offspring in their underground nests.
The beewolf we saw yesterday wasn't big enough to prey on a honey bee, but yes, there are European species, European species, Philanthus triangulum, that can.
Thorp says that this particular beewolf (below) appears to be a Philanthus multimaculatus. Check out the BugGuide.net image.
So tiny, but so colorful, too.

Alan Kines
When Washington College hosted its annual career fair in fall 2009, Alan Kines '10 impressed the recruiter from Northwestern Mutual Financial Network enough that he invited the business management major back to Baltimore to be interviewed with the Field Director and Managing Partner of Maryland.
Alan signed on with the company in January of his senior year, and devoted the spring semester to finishing up the basketball season and studying for the financial certification exams. After completion he hit the ground running and began working in the Baltimore office in May 2010.
As a financial representative for Northwestern Mutual, Alan helps families and businesses plan for their financial future—not an easy job in a depressed economy. Alan works side by side with senior partners to help individuals, families and businesses set and achieve their goals for the future.
"I have a wide range of clientele and they all have a relatively conservative outlook on investing due to the uncertainty surrounding the capital markets," notes Alan. "They are looking for safe places to put their money and in these tough economic times, employer benefits for risk management and wealth accumulation are rarely sufficient. I help my clients pinpoint their shortfalls in their current plan while helping them implement a strategy to get on track efficiently."
In his first six months on the job, Alan finished among the top ten percent of his company-wide peer group, putting him on the fast track to the management team. That doesn't surprise his former faculty advisor, Terry Scout. Alan took part in Professor Scout's International Business Experience course in China and supervised Alan's summer internship at Martin State Airport, where he learned what it takes to manage a general aviation airport serving corporate and private jets. Shadowing the airport director, Alan studied FAA regulations, sat in on meetings, visited the air traffic control towers, and helped out on the grounds and in the museum.
"What I remember most about Alan is that he did not take the easiest classes," Scout recalls. "He took the classes that would prepare him the best for life after college. He played varsity basketball and was an excellent time manager with all that he had to do. He wanted to be challenged. He never took the easy way."
Alan understood that his faculty advisor enjoyed a challenge, too, bringing a genuine exuberance and enthusiasm to each class. "Terry Scout is my favorite professor, hands down," says Alan. "His unique style of teaching keeps students focused while getting them excited about various topics. Professor Scout really cares about the business management majors and wants us all to succeed after college. All of the professors at Washington College really challenged me and prepared me for a career in financial planning."

A Journey from Harvard to Broadway
A Journey from Harvard to Broadway
Sat, 06/02/2012 - 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Join host Robert Hammond as he talks to Rochester native Bruce Sabath on this week's Stage Notes. Currently in Geva Theatre Center's production of Stephen Sondheim's musical Company, he'll talk about his journey from Harvard to Broadway.
From Bruce Sabath's website:
Who is Bruce Sabath?
Thanks for asking.
Well, for one thing, I'm an actor. A very lucky one. Since 1997, when I started pursuing this crazy art form/ business, I have studied (and studied) my craft with the greatest acting teacher alive, performed on many (small) New York stages, had lead roles in several independent films, performed in a national tour, played "the Scot" in an unforgettable production of Shakespeare's "Scottish Play", acted under the direction of the amazing Sidney Lumet, chatted with Kevin Spacey, and been "called back" by Susan Stroman. Among other things.
I said I was lucky. I don't mean that in the "big break" sense of the word. I mean lucky to be doing this -- pursuing this dream -- at all.
While acting was a passion of mine from a young age, it never occurred to me that I could actually pursue it as a career. I came from a very practical upbringing. Dad spent 37 years as an engineer at Kodak, Mom stayed home, and pretty much everyone we knew either worked for Kodak, Xerox, one of the Rochester colleges, or was a doctor or a lawyer. Not too many artists in my early circles.
And even though my childhood days and nights were often spent singing and acting, my career aspirations were to come to New York and be a huge success -- as a businessman.
So I went to Harvard. Majored in Applied Mathematics (sang and toured with world-famous a capella group the Harvard Don & Tonics and did plays in my spare time). Came to New York as a computer consultant for Arthur Andersen (took a few acting classes). Got discovered by investment bank First Boston (in NY, mind you) and went to work for them designing "derivative securities". Went to Wharton to get my MBA (starred in The Wharton Follies, the annual original show). Came out as a strategy consultant with a big job at the Boston Consulting Group (in NY, mind you). Helped huge banks and telecomm firms figure stuff out (took a few more acting classes). Got discovered by American Express and went to work for them developing new products. And then...
I realized something was wrong. I wasn't happy. In fact, I hadn't been happy for a while. I had been busily doing what I thought I was supposed to do, but never stopped to think for a minute how I wanted to spend my life. My wife Karen was instrumental in getting me to figure it out. It was in May, 1997 when she told me she was sick of my bitching about my job and not knowing what I should do.
Finally she said, "forget for the moment about all the practicalities -- where it would be, money, logistical stuff -- if you could do whatever you wanted, what would it be?" Without even taking a beat I answered what seemed suddenly to be such a simple question. "I would act." Then, with my practiced critical voice, I responded to my answer, "but of course, that's ridiculous. You can't just -- do that."
We debated all the obvious reasons that becoming an actor is a terrible idea -- the odd hours, the uncertainty of getting work, the lousy pay, the travel and on and on. And the more we talked, and the more I allowed the prospect of becoming an actor to seep into my head for the first time, the more I realized that this was something I had to do.
I had always been jealous of people who knew from an early age "what they wanted to be when they grew up". All of a sudden, I realized that I was one of those people -- I had just been ignoring myself for 20-odd years.
So the suits and ties went to the back of the closet, and I began a new journey. I was fortunate to be led to the brilliant teacher Bill Esper, who learned from and then taught with the legendary Sanford Meisner. Meisner's (and Bill's) approach to acting BEGINS with a rigorous two-year course which breaks acting down to the most basic elements -- much the same way as one would approach a musical instrument -- to enable the actor to act truthfully, from impulse and with great vitality. It was an approach that really resonated with me.
I studied movement with Loyd Williamson and his great staff at Actors Movement Studio, vocal production with Andrea Haring, and singing with Joyce Hall. And the training never ends. Just as an athlete never stops working with his coach, an actor continues to build his craft, and needs experienced and trusted guides to help him along. I am lucky to have such people to work with.
So on I go. I am thrilled to be pursuing a career as an actor. It is daunting, frustrating, exhilarating, sobering, and I love every minute. And I am so lucky to have the support of Karen and my boys, Jeremy and Michael, who keep me balanced, and remind me what is really important.
I have never once regretted my decision to do this. And I cannot fail, because in my mind, success is not in the result, but in the joy of the journey.
See you at the theatre...
