Alcohol leads to head-on collision
So you handed over a killer résumé, nailed the interview, and got the job—congrats!
Now it’s time to get to work at keeping it.
Don’t be late. Not only does lateness make a bad impression, but your employer is paying you for your time. If you are not using the time you have sold them wisely, they will not continue to buy it from you. If you must be late, call your boss and let him or her know. Don’t rely on someone else to relay the information.
Monkey see, monkey do. Keep an eye on who has worked at your organization or company for a while to pick up on the ‘unwritten rules’ there.
For instance, if you don’t see anyone eating or drinking at their desk, you shouldn’t either. Another thing to consider: do others make appointments to
do they just drop in?If you can’t say anything nice,
then don’t say anything at all.
It’s extremely disrespectful to criticize your company, your boss or your coworkers. Never criticize the company in front of someone you work with or even someone who knows someone you work with. In fact, it would be best not to criticize at all. Furthermore, personal social networking and work are two spheres that should not touch. Don’t post anything online you wouldn’t want your boss—or your grandmother—to read or see.
Flexibility is key. Employers like people who are able to work
in many different situations. Being able to work alone or with a team, and being able to lead as well as follow are valuable assets.
Don’t be afraid to volunteer to do jobs other people brush off if your time allows, and don’t be the person who gets out of doing something by saying “That’s not my job.”
Be positive. For many people, a fairly constant cheerful attitude will require work, but nobody wants to work with someone who’s a ‘downer’. Smile. See solutions, not problems.
Do the best job you can.
employer’s expectations to the best of your ability. Make yourself indispensable by becoming the “go-to” person for
to be remembered—in a good way.
A current WSU student was involved in a car accident just before midnight Sunday near University Blvd. and Lot #11, according to a Wright State Police Department supplement case report released Monday.
According to the supplement
Zachary Norman, the vehicles of Courtney George and Jordan Hardy collided into one another “in front of the rock between Lot #11 and Lot #10.”
Norman deemed the accident a “head on collision with a possible OVI,” and said in his report, “Mr. Hardy was driving

The front ends were completely destroyed,” eye witness Brittney McKee said. “I saw one of the people getting carried out on a stretcher, but he was sitting up, wearing a neck brace, and was alert.”
“Both vehicles had heavy front end damage and both drivers were lying by their vehicles,” Norman said in his narrative.
Norman was unavailable for comment. The State Highway Patrol responded to the scene of the crash, and has taken over the crash investigation, according to the report.

In 2003, the U.S. ousted Saddam Hussein who was supported by American bought arms. Before and after that, the U.S. hunted Osama Bin Laden who used to be supported by the CIA during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. I’ll omit mention of the oodles of other despots supported by foreign aid or installed by the CIA.
Last year, the NATO forces
Those same arms that the NATO-backed Libyan revolutionaries used are being used in Mali by Ansar Dine, in Nigeria by Boko Haram, and other groups across Africa. France has sent troops to Mali and the U.S. is deploying to 25 nations in West Africa, as well as building a new drone base in Niger.

and participants smell the odor of cover-up regarding the 9/11 commission.
Now the U.S. is busy pumping up the al-Qaeda linked rebels in Syria with 60 million dollars. But don’t worry, it’s only for non-lethal aid. IE: All those teachers and sanitation inspectors the rebels are using to defeat the government.
Noticing a pattern? The US backs a horse, rips out their support, calls them evil, drums up support at home, then invades.
It’s brilliant. For anyone who stands to
gain from mindless wars: A highly specialized war industry, a massive military, and politicians looking to make a legacy out of a crisis.
The U.S. needs some new weapons and has full knowledge of their new enemy’s capability, their now
unsupported army is easy prey for the US army, and the U.S. backed political players in the region are unable to rally without their patron. It really doesn’t matter if the U.S. is backing a Robespierre or a Spartacus;; a Cromwell or a Washington. Strings will be found for their new puppets. It’s truly impossible for alliances with dubious characters to ever

(roughly) updated on how US foreign policy has worked in the past decade and why the world hates U.S.
In your author’s opinion, it would be better to follow Jefferson’s foreign policy of “peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none” since it involves neither blowing money propping up dictators and the enslavement of foreigners to said dictators nor pointless wars against loosed strongmen.

St. Patrick’s Day is synonymous with bar visitation for many college students, and those with a taste for beer have several options in the Wright State area.
Many bars near Wright State are constantly importing new and old beers both on tap and draft, giving customers a wide variety of options to wet their whistles. Here are three:
Kings TableKings Table on Grange Hall
Road offers a wide variety of beers and specials for customers to choose from. The drive is approximately four minutes from Wright State, according to Google Maps. General Manager Kat Ravkin said that when it came to the choices available at Kings, to each their own.
“It just depends on your
taste,” Ravkin said. “We have a wide variety.”
“Beer Flights,” are available at Kings Table, which consist of four 4 oz. samples of any of the 40 taps available for $6.
“It’s a fun thing to do because you can try all sorts of things without breaking your wallet,” Ravkin said.
The PubThe Pub is an English themed
restaurant located at The Greene with an extensive menu and bar. Most waiters and waitresses are equipped with a kilt, giving the atmosphere a foreign vibe.
Staff trainer Erica Hill said that one of their newest options was cask ale, which is a rare,
form of beer.“It’s a really unique delivery
system,” Hill said. “It’s not one of tops you just open and the beer comes out. You have to really crank it out because it’s all self-contained;; there’s no carbon dioxide running through

“There’s not many places you can go in the area that carry cask ale,” Hill said.
Tanks Bar & GrillTanks Bar & Grill is located
near downtown Dayton on Wayne Avenue. Among the imported beers available, the most recent is Innis & Gunn, imported from Scotland.
“These are very good, high end and very tasty,” Manager Sandy Cox said.
Conway’s Irish Ale (imported from Cleveland, OH), and Guinness pitchers will cost $9.75, which is an unbeatable price according to Cox.
“It’s a 64 oz. pitcher. You can’t get it anywhere in town for $9.75,” Cox said.
For those planning on visiting Tanks on St. Patrick’s Day, Cox advised timeliness to avoid long lines.
“We’ll be busy, so come early,” Cox said.

How to be safe while drinkingKristina ThomasFeatures [email protected]
For many college students, drinking is an essential activity at any party or bar. However, it is important for students to practice basic safe drinking techniques especially for St. Patrick’s Day. These techniques will help students have fun and avoid dangerous situations:
Eat before you drink
Eat food while or before drinking to help slow the absorption of alcohol into the circulatory system. Some good protein foods are cheese and peanuts. Drinking on an empty stomach will make the body’s blood alcohol content (BAC) rise quickly and may cause blackouts.
Have priorities
Having fun with friends at clubs or bars is a good time, but make sure there is nothing important planned for the following day. Partying is not worth blowing off an exam and showing up to work with a hangover. It is not professional.
Know your limit
For people who are not used to drinking, it’s a good idea to
try it at home with parents or a friend. Explain to them what you are attempting to learn about yourself. Try different alcoholic beverages;; check the ingredients and the amount of alcohol in each. This way you will know which drinks you like most, and how many drinks it takes to get intoxicated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a standard drink in the United States is a 12-ounce beer, eight ounces of malt
one and half an ounce (a shot) of 80-proof distilled liquors. It is recommended to not exceed one alcoholic beverage per hour.
Sip your drink
If you get drunk easily, stay away from any form of shots including jello shots and beer bongs. Excessive drinking can lead to blackouts and vomiting. Drinking too fast leaves many people feeling normal right after the shots, but about 10 to 20 minutes later, the effects kick in. Fruit drinks are also easy to drink because the taste can be deceiving. It is best to sip the drink to cultivate the taste.
Carry condoms
Always carry condoms when drinking. Unplanned pregnancy
or an STD is not worth the risk. The CDC says drinking lowers inhibition and leads to poor judgment.
Stay hydrated
It is important when drinking to always have water or soda. Alcohol draws vitamins out of the body, and staying hydrated restores those vitamins. Consider taking vitamins daily. Some people alternate drinks, starting off with an alcoholic beverage and then following it
with a non-alcoholic beverage such as soda or juice.
Be aware of your
surroundings
Always have an exit strategy, whether at a house party or a club. It is important to know where all the restrooms and exit doors are located in case of an emergency. Also know where the nearest cab company or public transportation system is located.
Use the buddy system
Make sure you know at least two people when drinking. Having people look out for you is vital. A friend can take the measures needed to prevent you from getting robbed or assaulted. Have a friend watch your drink if you leave it unattended, and let them know if you are heading to the restroom or another section of the club. Don’t let strangers pour your drinks;; leave that up to the bartenders.
Appoint a designated
driver
Never drive to a drinking event if you know you are going to drink. If at a friend’s house, make arrangements to sleep over so the alcohol can wear off by morning. If at a club, assign a designated driver to be sober for the night and make sure everyone gets home safely. Take turns with your friends so that everyone can enjoy drinking at different events.
Avoid using alcohol with
other drugs
Excessive drinking can result in blackouts, vomiting, harmful situations and alcohol poisoning. Mixing alcoholic beverages with prescriptions or other drugs can increase these risks.
Form a pallet with the top ten beersLisa MorrissStaff [email protected]
Beer has changed a lot since the days when your choices were Budweiser, Miller, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Coors. Now when you walk into a bar you are greeted with an array of Tap Handles advertising a number of beers that focus on taste and quality over quantity.
When drinking beer, your idea of a good beer can be based on personal taste. There are Belgian or Anglo American ale’s, Lagers, Wheat Beer’s, Stouts and Porters. Then there are all the sub categories: Saison, Barley wine, Imperial Stout, German Hefeweizen, Doppelbock and the list goes on. What are all these choices and how do you know what to drink?
The best way is to sample different beers. To do this you can get together with friends
who can bring different beers to share and compare. You can also go to a beer tasting, which some of the local wine and liquor stores hold. Finally, go to a beer festival like StarkBier Fest on March 23. Go to www.listermannbrewing.com/starkbier-fest-2013 for more information.
The things to do when tasting the beer are the same no
matter what beer you are trying. First, what does it look like? Is it light or dark, thick or watery? Does it have a head? Now, swirl the beer carefully. Did the head stay or go away when you did

it. Don’t just swallow, but let it sit in your mouth for a moment. You are looking for the “mouthfeel” here which is the consistency of the liquid. Is it syrupy or smooth? Try to put this experience into words.
Follow these steps and you will start understand what type of beer you like to drink.
