Your Finances
We are committed to making our world-class liberal arts education affordable by offering generous merit and need-based assistance to our students. We recommend that all admitted students apply for financial aid so eligibility can be determined for the various programs available. Typically, 98 percent of W&J students receive financial assistance, and the average financial aid package is $30,100 for the fall of 2013 entering class. Furthermore, 80 percent of this assistance is gift aid, which does not have to be repaid. As you can see, our generous financial aid packages can make the cost of attending W&J competitive with many public institutions.
Please contact any one of our admission or financial aid counselors with questions regarding the financial aid process, interpreting your financial aid package, or ways we can help you invest in your future.
We hope you will contact us so we can help you through this process.

Since Boston Marathon bombings, many people have been thinking about those who lost limbs and how their lives will change -- but a 6-year-old boy is teaching others that there isn't much change at all.
Eli Brummond is not afraid to tell his story. He was born with a condition that cost him his leg when he was just one year old.
Yet, people are sometimes afraid to ask. His mother, Corinne, told FOX 9 News she'll hear people ask what's wrong with him -- so when Limb Loss Awareness Month came around, the Brummonds decided it was a perfect time to educate others.
For the students of Heritage Home School Academy, a field trip set up by Eli Brummond gave them a first-hand look into the world of prosthetics.
"See where that red line is on my prosthesis?" he pointed out. "That's where my nub ends."
Curious kids would often ask Eli about it, so the Brummond family asked Gillette Children's Hospital to show his classmates -- kindergarten to 12th grade -- how it all works.
"The more you can educate, the more you can bring in an understanding and excitement that this is not a crutch, it's freedom to him," Corinne Brummond explained.
The students learned how people are taught to use prosthetic hands and even applied what they learned. Next, they got to walk in Eli Brummond's shoes -- literally.
"It gave me a lot more of seeing what he has to go through," said Megan Blauw.
For the first time, Corinne Brummond got to experience what her son goes through too -- even if just for a moment.
"It was a priceless opportunity to be able to walk a day -- or a moment -- in someone's shoes like that," she said.
Looking at the pictures of all the activities Eli Brummond enjoys, it's obvious that he doesn't let it hold him back.
"It might be sad for other people, but it's really fun to have it for me," he said. "When it's been a long day, I usually forget I wear it."
When asked whether he had any advice for the recent amputees in Boston, Brummond said, "It's hard work to take care of your limb and your prosthetic, but that it's really fun to have a prosthetic because you're as normal as normal can be."

Steve Seeley
SHOWS The Bearded WhatSteve Seeley was born in a small town in central Wisconsin in 1979. There he was raised on a steady diet of hash browns, action figures, heavy metal and adventure. He received his BFA in printmaking from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point before moving to Columbus where he received his MFA from the Ohio State University. After graduating he moved away from the outer limbs of the midwest right into its heart, Chicago. There he currently resides, nourishing himself on the same diet as his childhood, with the exception of "adventure", which has been replaced by whiskey. His artwork has shown in galleries across the U.S. He is represented by the Packer Schopf Gallery in Chicago.

The Maple Leafs will be without defenceman Jonas Frogren for up to six weeks after an MRI revealed two muscle tears in his arm, according to the Toronto Sun.
Frogren's injury occurred during the first period of Toronto's 5-4 loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday night.
"We thought it could be serious, but we really didn't know," Leafs GM Cliff Fletcher told the Sun. "It happened to Jonas on his first shift of the game but he kept playing (before leaving early in the second period)."
The absence of the 28-year-old Swede will put more stress on a Toronto defensive corps that saw Carlo Colaiacovo go to the St. Louis Blues as part of a trade for Lee Stempniak on Monday. In addition, Mike Van Ryn is not expected to be back in the Leafs' lineup until December as he nurses a broken left hand suffered back on Nov. 8.
The ailing Leafs squad had nine defencemen at one point this season but are now down to six. Ian White will be shifted to the blue line to fill in after spending nine games as a forward.

Calypso Home
- Location: New York, NY
- Website: calypso-celle.com
If you're a boy and have been slightly bored by the growing proliferation of Calypso stores, there is now reason to be happy. Calypso Home has arrived, bringing with it a totally funky, eclectic, colorful homestyle that you can really sink your teeth into. This store is fun.
Last week we got into the store with our camera and snapped pics of everything. Calypso Home is ground zero for decorative pillows, blankets and bedding, but they complete the picture with a highly edited selection furniture, lighting, tabletop and accessories. The inspiration is French - with a mix of world cultures seeping in.
Problems? Not too many that we know of. The website is a bit confusing and doesn't really show Home at all. They used to have one store, but now they have three (midtown, downtown and the hamptons) and prices are aspirational, but not out of orbit. If anything, it could be frustrating that the collection changes frequently so you have to leap on it if you like it.
As you check out the store also note the cool use of metal and big beam wood for beds and shelving. Designed for the store by the husband of one of the women in charge, the beds and the shelving are now for sale and can be customized to your home.

I love the silver (and gold) leather square poufs. So cool.
The Indian-style fabric used for upholstery looks amazing, too.
looking at the calypso website it feels like a I have reached a store in some rural part of north/west India.
2 weeks a ago when I was at a store in SOHO - furniture, pillows - I saw a cabinet for 3000 bucks and it was the same - the one my great grandmother in kerala used to store vegetables and dried fish.
Uh, yeah... totally loving this store. No fair featuring on the site when I'm trying to (once again) wrap my head around the concept of "decluttering". ;)
so very beautiful. so very expensive.
Yesterday I posted about a lamp in eBay Scavenger that appears identical to one being sold at Calypso Home:
This lamp, offered by the same seller, has to be the same:
These aren't cheap, but they probably cost less than they do at Calypso.
Exploitation, raising prices that high above what they get it for overseas. And that's with marketing, etc. It's really a shame. I just wish the original suppliers got some of the pie, that's all.
Nice stuff though. I'll take notes like I do at ABC so I can pick some of it up on my next trip to Asia.
The funny thing is that most of this stuff can also be found at places that feature local artisans.
Check out http://www.trunkt.com and the store in Tribeca. That place makes sure the original suppliers get their due.
i finally went there last week to check it out and must say i wasn't that impressed. the store is very nicely done up but barring a couple of pieces of unusual and interesting furniture, the place is full of very ethnic looking stuff from india and morocco that one can find everywhere. (they even had thomas paul pillows in there!). so not sure how their store is different or unusual. i do think her clothing stores carry far better designs.
I really love the ecelctic bohemian style that calypso promotes - but it's just soooo expensive! I just can't justify spending $200 on a PILLOW of all things. But they're so beautiful. Thoughts on any cheaper alternatives??
I too went into the store in Soho. I understand mark ups because of customs and the profitability of running a retail store. I also saw items that are at cost no more than $20.00 in Morocco, that held a hefty price of $450.00 in the store. Cheaper to get on a plane and get it yourself and have a nice vacation at the same time. It would also feel better not to be a victim of highway robbery. And I should add, the people in the store are not all that helpful or nice.
rip off central. the same stuff is on sale at many lovely smaller stores that have a fair mark up. Plus I have an issue with people hiring staff that aren't knowledgeable about home furnishings and interior decor, just about selling cute outfits.
i don't normally do this...
i have no personal affiliation with the store, but if you're looking for fair-priced Indian-style pillows covers (sewn from embroidered saris and tapestries), go to Dress Shoppe at 2nd avenue between 5th and 6th (i believe - i always miss them at first). Their pillow covers sell for about $20 each! the place is old and cramped but heaving with Indian goodies. clothes, a few pieces of furniture, deities. plus, the store is run by a real Indian mom and pop and their son. i buy all my indian-style items (except for the few from ebay) there. and you can haggle! i just hate to see chain stores like Calypso take over with their exorbitant markups. just my 2 cents.
WOW, that looks really yummy!! Can't wait to enter this store on my next visit to New York.
i love the cushion in the first image! lovely!
i was recently in there and saw a fabulous light fixture. it was a mercury glass bell jar with painted birds on it. does anyone know where else this fixture can be found or who makes it? Trying to find it at a better price.

Great job on the shelving in your bedroom! Useful and decorative.
Love your bedding!
Lovely apartment. The bedspread is so striking! I really like the shelving units with the two small drawers (so practical by the sewing machine) and I like how you repeated it above your bed.
Cute doggies!
Oh wow, love your bedding. Where did you get it? Also love the craft area and shelving units, and the gorgeous green in your kitchen - what's the paint color?
Regarding the fifth photo, the artwork above the couch featuring the two residents shown the fourth photo is priceless!
Excellent use of space for a smaller beach condo!
thank you so much! Ikea ;)
thank you!
thank you!
the bedspread is target from a few years back, the craft area is mainly ikea, and my doggies thank you for the love ..their picture was painted by my friend. this is so fun and i am super excited to read all the comments, yours too dad haha
Great ideas! Love the cute pups too!
I keep coming back to your little place and I have to say that so far; your little place is in my top three favorites!
I love how you pulled together your bedroom/craft room; the colors in the kitchen and how you made the living area seem larger just because of the couch and chaise!
Adorable place! Books and dogs, two of my favorite things....
The bedspread is beautiful and I really like the way you've got all those pictures up above the couch.
Its really nice to see one of these where there is sewing stuff set up in a way that is designed to facilitate their regular use (rather then as decor). I like that you've set up the crafft area so that you can walk all the way around it. My sewing desk is also a little vika table from ikea (just one tho) but I placed it against a wall, and find that I still end up doing almost all of my pattern cutting on the living room floor as a result. Where do you store your fabric? And what is that small green machine on the far side of the desk?
all the fabric is stored under my bed in long flat storage containers...but i'm running out of room so it's time to slow down on the fabric buying. the green machine is a vintage blind hem machine, i recently gave it back to my mom to store...it was hers from way back when
thank you all for the nice comments! i really appreciate it.
having that much crafting stuff near the bed puzzled me at first but then I could see otherwise you'd encroach on the dogs' living space so it makes sense.
Cozy home, love your dogs! Is that an ironing board or surf board (green) hanging on the wall near the entrance?
I like your setup and that you obviously use your sewing machine.
I could tell your little furry kids were so happy to get their pic taken (lol). Love, love, love the bright green of your kitchen. The setup for your sewing is simply wonderful. Well done!
Awesome Place Man! Rad dogs and cool stuff@
it's my surfboard :)
thanks for all the questions!
I am a fan!!!
Dawn what Sewing machine do you have?
Love your fresh and comy home. What breed are
Your two lovely pooches?
Sorry for all the Q's. I adore your Craft Area.

A wind advisory has been issued for the entire state of Connecticut, the National Weather Service announced on Friday.
In response, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's office said it will partially activate the state's Emergency Operations Center at noon. It will be staffed by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, Department of Transportation, Military Department, State Fire Coordination, and the state's utilities.
"After talking with my emergency management officials and assessing the situation, we will be partially activating the EOC at noon today," Malloy said. "This will allow us to quickly respond to and coordinate any problems that may arise as a result of today's high winds."
According to a news release from the governor's office, "Southwest winds are forecast to remain strong through the afternoon and into this evening with gusts to 50 mph at times. A few higher gusts to 55–60 mph may occur in the higher elevations and along the coast."

- Latest Updates:
- A minor editorial change was made.
HONDURAS - Exercise a high degree of cautionThere is no nationwide advisory in effect for Honduras. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to violent crime.
Regional Advisory for parts of Valle, Choluteca and OlanchoForeign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against all travel to San Francisco de Coray and Langue in the department of Valle; Orocuina, Apacilagua and Morolica in the department of Choluteca; San Francisco de la Paz and Gualaco in the department of Olancho due to high levels of violence and crime.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The Government of Canada takes the safety and security of Canadians abroad very seriously and provides credible and timely information in its Travel Advice. In the event of a crisis situation that requires evacuation, the Government of Canada's policy is to provide safe transportation to the closest safe location. The Government of Canada will assist you in leaving a country or a region as a last resort, when all means of commercial or personal transportation have been exhausted. This service is provided on a cost-recovery basis. Onward travel is at your personal expense. Situations vary from one location to another, and there may be constraints on government resources that will limit the ability of the Government of Canada to provide assistance, particularly in countries or regions where the potential for violent conflict or political instability is high.
The security situation has seriously deteriorated in Honduras. Exercise a high degree of caution throughout the country as Honduras has the highest homicide rate in Central America. Growing illegal drug trafficking, expanding transnational organized crime and the presence of street gangs contribute to a significant crime rate. Apprehension and conviction rates of criminals remain low. A large percentage of the population is armed. Guns and weapons such as machetes and knives are frequently used in robberies. Perpetrators often use violence if the victim resists.
Serious crime—including armed robbery, kidnapping, carjacking, home invasion and sexual assault—is common, and armed attacks on marine vessels have been reported. Although most criminals do not target tourists, some have been victims of crime in and around San Pedro Sula (including in vehicles leaving the airport), on the ferry from La Ceiba to the Bay Islands, as well as in Tela, Trujillo, Tegucigalpa and Copán Ruins. On Roatán, robbers have targeted homes and long-term leased residences. Travellers visiting the Bay Islands should exercise particular caution around uninhabited coastal areas and avoid walking on isolated beaches, especially at night. Since 2009, three Canadian citizens have been murdered in this area. Remain aware of your surroundings, particularly on the beaches of Tela and in the north coast region. Foreigners have been attacked on beaches after dark.
Travellers have been followed and assaulted. Use discretion when discussing your travel plans in public. Be cautious when dealing with strangers or recent acquaintances and be extremely careful when accepting rides or invitations.
Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum, or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery.
In resort areas, stay on supervised beaches and do not walk in isolated or unpopulated areas. Hitchhiking is strongly discouraged. Campers should always ensure that facilities are patrolled and well lit. Whenever possible, travel in a group, as there have been reports of attacks on tourists walking alone.
Robberies and bus/carjackings occur along Honduran highways. Intercity public transportation should be avoided, especially on the road from Limones to La Unión and in the Sula Valley in northern Honduras. Armed gangs frequently perpetrate robberies along road CA-11a from La Esperanza to Gracias, as well as on Route 41 in Olancho around Salamá and northward to Saba. Route 39 between Gualaco and San Esteban is also dangerous and should be avoided. Remain alert en route to El Progreso, Tela, Trujillo, La Ceiba, and on the road through Santa Bárbara. Travelling on major roads between towns and cities is safer than travelling on remote routes.
Petty crime, such as pickpocketing and bag snatching, is prevalent. Be highly cautious at all times, including in the vicinity of hotels, airports, bus terminals, shopping malls and other public places. Do not display signs of affluence, such as valuables (including cameras and phones), cash and bank or credit cards. Remain alert to your surroundings after using automated banking machines, and avoid carrying large sums of money. Avoid walking or travelling alone and after dark, particularly in Tegucigalpa, in San Pedro Sula and in the regions of Atlántida, Cortés, Colón, Yoro, Copán and Ocotepeque.
Ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times. Carry photocopies of your travel documents while leaving the originals in the hotel safe.
Narcotics smuggling and violence pose threats to the security of travellers in the northern departments of Colón, Gracias a Dios and Olancho, which is one of the most violent departments in Honduras. Travellers in that area should be particularly vigilant, as there have been incidents involving roadblocks and violence related to land disputes, particularly in the north coast area near Trujillo.
You should also exercise caution at borders with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua and use official border points only. Cross the border in the morning, as crossings sometimes close early in the evening.
The judicial and criminal investigation systems both lack personnel, equipment and resources and have limited capacity to confront crime. You should exercise caution when dealing with police officers since corruption exists within parts of the police force.
Occasional demonstrations and strikes addressing various grievances occur in the capital and in other cities and might cause traffic disruptions. Demonstrations on the island of Roatán are frequent and have resulted in the closure of Roatán International Airport. Periodic violence may occur on the streets as a result of protests. Avoid demonstrations and large crowds, stay alert, exercise caution, and keep informed of possible roadblocks.
Unmarked landmine fields are located on both sides of the Honduras-Nicaragua border, especially in the Río Coco region, the departments of Choluteca and El Paraíso, and near the Atlantic coast. Although significant progress has been made in clearing these areas, landslides and floods have scattered many of the remaining mines, making the border area unsafe. Be extremely cautious if travelling in this area. Restrict travel to major thoroughfares and border crossings, such as El Espino (La Fraternidad), Las Manos and Guasaule.
Border crossing fees
To avoid possible excessive charges at land border crossings, determine the correct fees from the embassy or consulate of each country you plan to visit before presenting yourself at a border crossing.
Road travel
Heavy rains, flooding, landslides and bridge collapses have damaged many roads. Roads are often poorly marked and lit. Avoid driving at night, as vehicles often travel on roadways without proper lighting and animals and pedestrians are common on roads after dark. Traffic accidents are a common cause of death and injury. Drivers involved in road accidents where another person is badly injured may be held in custody, regardless of culpability.
The most dangerous stretches are from Tegucigalpa to Choluteca (mountain curves); from El Progreso to La Ceiba (animal crossings and poorly maintained bridges); and from Tegucigalpa to Copán (mountain curves and poor road conditions). Carry a phone in case of emergency and travel during daylight hours.
Thieves are known to pose as victims of road accidents, so do not stop to attend to a body on the roadside; report it to the next police point instead. Be cautious when dealing with police officials, as gang members sometimes disguise themselves as police officers. Drive with windows closed and doors locked at all times. At roadblocks, establish the identity of the individuals stopping you before rolling down the window or opening the door.
Public transportation
Most urban public buses are poorly maintained and erratically driven. Accidents are common. Use buses operated by private companies.
Use taxis from a reputable taxi service. Note the driver's name and licence number, arrange with the driver not to pick up any other passengers on the way to your destination, and agree on the fare in advance.
Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Marine transportation
In the area off the northeast coast of Honduras, armed assaults against private vessels have been perpetrated by criminals posing as fishermen. Sailors should contact local authorities for current information.
General safety information
Only undertake sea diving and other adventure sports with a well-established company. If you have any doubt concerning the security of the installations or equipment, refrain from using them.
Emergency services
The emergency number for local police is 199. Police response to criminal incidents may be limited and delayed, and the Honduran police generally do not speak English or French.
There are tourist police forces in Tegucigalpa, Roatán, La Ceiba, Copán, Tela and San Pedro Sula.
Entry/Exit Requirements
Entry/Exit Requirements
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Honduran authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Republic of Honduras or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Honduras, which must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of expected departure from that country.
Tourist visa: Not required for stays up to 90 days
Business visa: Not required for stays up to 30 days
Student visa: Not required
Travellers intending to study in Honduras can apply to the immigration authorities for a student permit once they have arrived in the country.
Central America-4 Border Control Agreement
Under the terms of the Central America-4 Border Control Agreement (C-4), Canadian tourists may travel within any of the C-4 countries – Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala – for a period of up to 90 days, without completing entry and exit formalities at border immigration checkpoints. This period begins at the first point of entry to any of the C-4 countries. Travellers who exceed the 90-day limit can expect to pay a fine. An extension of up to 90 days is permitted once a year. You must request this extension and pay the required fee to Immigration authorities before the initial 90 day-limit expires. The length of the extension is at the discretion of the Immigration authorities.
Departure tax
A departure tax of approximately US$38 is required for all international flights.
Children and travel
Dual citizens and Honduran residents under 18 years of age departing the country alone or with only one parent are required to present a legally certified document stating that both parents (if travelling alone) or the parent remaining in the country (if travelling with only one parent) agree to their travel.
Please consult our Children page for more information.
Yellow fever
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.

Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupucture or or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
|* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements.
|Country Entry Requirement*
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in Central America and Mexico, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Central America and Mexico. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Travellers' diarrhea
- Travellers' diarrhea is the most common illness affecting travellers. It is spread from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
- Risk of developing travellers' diarrhea increases when travelling in regions with poor standards of hygiene and sanitation. Practise safe food and water precautions.
- The most important treatment for travellers' diarrhea is rehydration (drinking lots of fluids). Carry oral rehydration salts when travelling.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
Insects and Illness
In some areas in Central America and Mexico, certain insects carry and spread diseases like American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), chikungunya, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, malaria, onchocerciasis (river blindness), and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is currently an outbreak of chikungunya in this country. Chikungunya is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, particularly around sunrise and sunset. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.
Dengue fever
- Dengue fever occurs in this country. Dengue fever is a viral disease that can cause severe flu-like symptoms. In some cases it leads to dengue haemorrhagic fever, which can be fatal.
- The risk of dengue is higher during the daytime, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against dengue fever.
- There is a risk of malaria in certain areas and/or during a certain time of year in this country.
- Malaria is a serious and occasionally fatal disease that is spread by mosquitoes. There is no vaccine against malaria.
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites. This includes covering up, using insect repellent and staying in well-screened, air-conditioned accommodations. You may also consider sleeping under an insecticide-treated bed net or pre-treating travel gear with insecticides.
- Antimalarial medication may be recommended depending on your itinerary and the time of year you are travelling. See a health care provider or visit a travel health clinic, preferably six weeks before you travel to discuss your options.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in Central America and Mexico, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks and impairs the immune system, resulting in a chronic, progressive illness known as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
High risk activities include anything which puts you in contact with blood or bodily fluids, such as unprotected sex and exposure to unsterilized needles for medications or other substances (for example, steroids and drugs), tattooing, body-piercing or acupuncture.
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs.
For most travellers the risk of tuberculosis is low.
Travellers who may be at high risk while travelling in regions with risk of tuberculosis should discuss pre- and post-travel options with a health care provider.
High-risk travellers include those visiting or working in prisons, refugee camps, homeless shelters, or hospitals, or travellers visiting friends and relatives.
Medical services and facilities
Medical services and facilities
Private hospitals and clinics in urban areas (including Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula) are often better staffed and equipped than public or rural facilities.
Physicians and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for medical care. Credit cards are accepted. Medical facilities on the Bay Islands (Roatán, Útila, Guanaja) are extremely limited.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.

This rug is gorgeous in my formal dining room, Lays thin and flat, feels good with a mat. Has a nice diamond overall design with taupe gray, black, gold colorings.
I love this rug and would definitely recommend. I bought this rug to go under a dining room table and it is perfect. I thought the rug looked like it had a green hue in the photos - but it does not. It is a "true" grey with metallic stitching that it very pretty. I am very happy with this purchase!
This is a beautiful, very interesting looking rug that looks expensive, but it's a bargain! I love it!
This is a high quality, unique rug that is made of cotton and polyester. It is very soft to walk on, and it is elegant yet not formal. It would work for a man or a woman. The rug's design is very pleasing, this is not a solid rug. It is grey, with a nice beige or taupe design through it that lightens it up, so it is not too dark. I have it on a very dark herringbone floor and it looks wonderful. The design works well with my light tan blinds and the grey is ideal for my natural steel bed and light blue duvet. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a rug that works with all of these colors. I was expecting a somewhat drab or somber grey, but it is better than that.
This rug is a beautifully detailed area rug that has so much dimension to it. I was so afraid when I saw it in the package because by just judging the rolled up rug, the ends look almost like a striped zebra pattern. I almost didn't even open it I was so unhappy. But when unrolled it has a beautiful shimmer of silver and very faint bronze in it, it's amazing how muted the metallic shimmer is when all rolled out. It looks just like the pictures. The quality is great, with very nice edging all around. My only complaint is that we bought this rug for our baby girl's nursery, and it just isn't as soft as we would like for a nursery, It isn't rough by any means, but just not super soft like I wanted. Having said that, we almost kept it to put under our dining room table because we loved it so much and didn't want to send it back. Would be perfect for a living room, dining room or any other room, wish I didn't have to send it back.
It is a beautiful and heavy rug. I use a rug pad under all my rugs. Lays nice color is grey, black, gold. But you cant see the black and gold when looking at the rug. It just creates a pattern. It looks as pictured.
I was a little nervous about getting this rug because the picture doesn't provide great detail. I actually purchased this based on the other wonderful reviews and descriptions and I was NOT disappointed. This is a great neutral rug with a cool pattern and a little silver sparkle for some extra pop! Looks great in my living room. Awesome purchase.
I was looking for a grey/neutral rug for my dining room. First off, the picture isn't great online. The rug is actually a blue/grey diamond pattern with a black/white background thread. I thought it was going to be more brown/grey like in the picture. It's not. And it looks and feels like a cotton/blend rug. I thought it was going to look/feel more like a wood rug. I still decided to keep it because I couldn't find anything else. The killer is that the quality stinks. I've had the rug for three month - very little foot traffic (under my dining room table) - and the threads are now starting to break off and stick up...so I have all these random threads sticking up from my rug. Not what I expected from a nearly $300 rug. Do NOT recommend.
darker than picture shown , not soft , texture seems easy to clean , dirt not visible , durable
The rug is very pretty. It has black and silver threads running through it and the background is a nice shade of grey. It is thinner than I thought it would be though and it is not soft at all....probably because it is thin. I like to colors though and it does look nice in the area I am using it.

Gun Loco -360
Gun Loco is a third-person shooter that was in development for the Xbox 360. The game was cancelled for an unknown reason.
At the farthest reaches of the solar system, a collection of the craziest criminals in the universe are incarcerated on a remote prison planet with no walls and forgotten by society. In this long-abandoned world, the only rule is anarchy, as each faction fights in a bloodthirsty race for survival, power and freedom. Through several seven climate zones and numerous stylized maps, players must fight through the ruins of the world's previous civilizations, taking on each region's inmates in a frantic and frenetic struggle to survive. Featuring third-person, sprint-action shooter gameplay, players can assume the roles of unique and memorable characters in a game that redefines the run-and-gun shooter. While pursuing enemies and being chased by their opponents, players must make use of the sprint-action play by running, jumping, ducking and vaulting, using the environments to their advantage. With a powerful arsenal of weapons at their disposal, each character comes complete with their own kill move, coupled with a mocking take-down taunt to ridicule their victims. The frenzied and furious comic style gameplay comes into its own with full 12-player online multiplayer matches across the planet, with a range of game modes and multiplayer arenas. GUN LOCO's characters feature a unique visual style with each created from the original design concepts of respected designer and toy maker Kenny Wong. Founder of kennyswork, Co-founder of Hong Kong-based Brothersfree and co-creator of the cult Brothersworker series of collectible action figures, Kenny's incredible design style and unique characterization are a perfect fit for the bizarre world of GUN LOCO. Painstakingly crafted by hand, each comic caricature has been designed from scratch as a real, posable action figure in the Brothersworker vein before being digitally scanned into the game. GUN LOCO brings these memorable misfits and surreal sociopaths to life through animation, audio and unforgettable action gameplay.

Morbidly Obese: Tips for Losing 100 Pounds or More (cont.)
"Sitting in a chair and lifting some soup cans, putting on ankle weights and just moving your feet back and forth, lifting your arms over your head and reaching towards the ceiling, all can help build and strengthen muscles, and again, get your body moving," says Goetze.
Finestein agrees: "The more weight you have to move with each movement, the less you have to do to see a reaction, so even small actions can make a big difference."
5. Don't Cut Calories Too Far.
That 1,200-calorie-a-day diet may be just what the doctor ordered for those who need to lose 20 or 30 pounds. But if you're trying to lose 100 pounds or more, you need more calories just to survive.
"The more you weigh, the higher your caloric needs," Finestein says, "so you can eat more than a person who weighs less, and still lose an equal amount of weight."
If you cut just 500 calories out of your diet every day, you could see a one-pound weight loss each week, she says.
6. Focus on How Far You've Come.
To stay motivated for the long haul, experts say, pay attention to how much you accomplish each day.
"Forget where you want to get to," says Finestein. "Realize how far you've come. Remember when you couldn't bend over to tie your shoes, or couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without puffing?" And, she says, never forget that for every pound you lose, your health improves.
"You might still be overweight, but you're definitely healthier," says Finestein.
7. Keep Your Goals Realistic.
Experts say it's also vital not to set the bar too high for your weight loss goals.
"You have to cut yourself a little bit of slack by taking into consideration how long you have been overweight," says Goetze.
When you have lots to lose, it takes longer to reach your goals -- but it's also extra rewarding when you do get there.
"It's a lot easier if you concentrate on your health, rather than each and every pound.," says Goetze.
8. Ditch the "Dieting Mindset."
"The very idea that we go 'on' a diet suggests that at some point we will come 'off' the diet -- and that's where those who are morbidly obese make a wrong turn," says Huberman.
To lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off, a permanent lifestyle change is needed.
"When you are obese, weight control must become a lifetime commitment, and it must involve a decision to completely change the role of food in your life," Huberman says. "And you must make exercise a regular part of your daily living.
"When you can accept that you're not on a diet, but that this is how you are going to live your life for the rest of your life, you will stay motivated and succeed."
9. Consider Medication.
If diet and exercise alone don't seem to do the trick, consider asking your doctor whether medication could be an option for you.
"Don't be afraid, or ashamed, to admit you need some extra help, and talk to your doctor about all your weight loss options, including medication," says Finestein.
Remember that weight loss medication is not a magic bullet. These medications can result in small amounts of weight loss -- as long you eat healthfully and engage in physical activity.
10. Don't Rule Out Weight Loss Surgery.
"For me, weight loss surgery turned out to be the right option -- but I did try every other option first," says Goetze.
She suggests you give yourself room to experiment, but keep in the back of your mind that surgery to reduce the size of the stomach is an option for many people.
"It is dramatic, and not easy, but it can be comforting to remember that there is always hope, no matter what," says Goetze, who lost nearly 400 pounds after she opted for stomach-reducing surgery.
Keep in mind that weight loss surgery requires lifestyle changes -- otherwise, you'll regain the weight over time.

Advanced registration for spring courses usually occurs in October and for fall courses occurs in April (the exact period can be found in the current schedule of classes).
In preparation for registration, you should review the Suggested Sequence of Courses found on page 23. In addition, you should get a copy of your Program of Study from your student file in the Office of Academic Services. First, list the courses that are required for the upcoming semester. Then, make a list of potential electives. Use the University Bulletin to review when courses are being offered and develop a tentative schedule. A worksheet is printed in the back of each semesters bulletin and copies are available in the Academic Services Office. Be surre to consider your other obligations, such as study time, work commitments and free time when preparing your tentative schedule. It is also a good idea to choose alternative courses and times in case any of the classes you choose are filled.
BAR Classes Each semester you should review your status with BAR classes. You must take BAR 110 (freshmen), BAR 210 (sophomores), and BAR 310 (juniors). If you missed one or more due to transfer or change of major, you should register for the appropriate level for your class standing and all those missed.
The Registrars Office will send you a registration date each semester based on your credits earned. You may register on or after that date. Once you have determined a tentative schedule you may register one of three ways.

US sees falling number of homeless veterans
Expanded federal aid programs mean fewer vets are on the streets. But a younger generation of those who served needs more help than ever -- and that costs money.
It's been a national shame for decades: Some Americans who served in the military end up homeless, living in parks, under highways and in shelters. The recent economic downturn has only added to the number of veterans unable to find a proper home.
But there have been some signs of improvement. Under a program begun by President George W. Bush and expanded by the Obama administration, the overall number of homeless veterans has declined significantly.
A new report by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development says the number of homeless veterans fell by 7.2% in January from a year earlier -- and by 17.2% since 2009.
Officials say the decline is keeping the government on target to meet its current goal of ending veteran homelessness in 2015.
"While this is encouraging news, we have more work to do and will not be satisfied until no veteran has to sleep on the street," Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki said in a press statement.
The VA's Homeless Veterans Initiative committed $800 million in fiscal 2011 to bulk up veteran service programs for job training, job placement and education, housing and health care.
The initiative also works with HUD to provide homeless vets with vouchers for rental assistance, as well as VA community-based outreach clinics. The so-called HUD-VASH program has reportedly helped more than 42,000 veterans find permanent housing.
But veterans, like the rest of the population, are trying to cope with a difficult economic landscape -- where one financial setback can have disastrous consequences.
"Some people are right on the edge," Candice Cummings, social work executive and homeless coordinator for the VA facility in Sioux Falls, S.D., told the Argus Leader. "If a crisis happens, they don't have resources. About 40% have been homeless at least a year or four times in three years."
Cummings is also seeing a new generation of homeless veterans needing help. "It used to be we were looking at males, 45 to 55," she said. "Now we are looking at younger people. It used to be single people. Now it is families more and women. That's a different trend."
In fact, the number of homeless veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts has reportedly more than doubled over the past two years.
"It's alarming," said Joe Leal, an Iraq War veteran and founder of the Vet Hunters Project -- a privately-funded group that works with homeless vets -- during an interview with NBC News.
"We house more Iraq and Afghanistan and younger veterans than older veterans. It used to be where a homeless vet was typically about 60 years old. Now, they're 22 years old. And a lot of them are female veterans who have witnessed combat. They are coming back messed up. They are coming back homeless."
Younger veterans are more savvy and don't necessarily like to ask for help, Anne Murphy, with the Salvation Army in Los Angeles, told USA Today. "But there are a lot of them out there."
The VA is requesting an additional $333 million in funding in its 2013 budget request -- a 33% increase over the previous year's budget – for programs to prevent and further reduce veteran homelessness.
And helping homeless veterans become aware of these programs, grants and other services available to them can often be the first step towards finding them permanent homes.
"It's amazing to me how many of these men and women have no clue to what they're entitled," Dorothy Walsh, with National Veterans Homeless Support, recently told Florida Today.
More from Money Now
Our active duty leadership is under tremendous pressure to "cut costs" when it comes to what DOD has to pay out. We have seen too many cases where a service member had documented injuries/problems for several years, and then all of a sudden, right before they get discharged, the military says "you are fine, you don't have any problems", and this is epidemic. DOD is trying to get out of having to go thru a medical discharge/medical retirement, which costs them money. So, it is easier for them to tell young troops "you don't have a problem" (and the troops want to believe them) than it is to be straight up and do the right thing.
We at the VA are cleaning up ALOT of DOD's messes. It is frustrating...and is one reason that the VA started the combat veteran outreach program: so our returning combat vets WILL be informed of what services are available, what they are entitled to, and how to get them. The VA started this program due to what happened with the Vietnam veterans...and the VA leadership said "never again".
If you are a veteran, or know a veteran, who is not currently or has never enrolled in VA programs or services, PLEASE have them do so! It is free, usually takes 30-45 minutes at a local VA enrollment office or vet center (or any veterans service officer from any veterans organization can help do it; the American Legion, VFW, Disabled American Veterans, etc). They only need their Social Security card and their member copy of their DD-214. If they don't have their DD-214, they can request one from the National Personnel Records Center. But they HAVE to have both of those items to get enrolled.
It's a National disgrace that we can't do more for these people who made sacrifices to serve this country. Why can't we start a jobs works program to restore our infrastructure, requiring that these veterans be given top priority in hiring to work on our roads, bridges and port facilities, work that is sorely needed right now. Yes it would cost some money (yet we just give away money to large wealthy farm corporations, Israel, etc.), aren't these veterans deserving of it, and it will help our country in the long run, i.e., at least we get a return for our investment, ever hear of priming the well.
I'm sure there are those that would oppose this, someone like MiracleGuy probably considers these homeless vets as deadbeats in his hated 47% who don't pay their pair share, and then there's "jim945" who posted "get a job", classy, real classy!
PTSD out reach program. It was easier to get in then, but the system is now making it harder. Between the waiting list and the changing of the title from PTSD to Adjustment Disorder. A word of caution beware of the later title because there is a reason for the change. Do your homework and research a lot of ones health service connected conditions can be found on the website from A-Z. www.va.gov. click on HEALTH FINDER from the directory and put in what your looking for. Take a look at www.vqlan.org ....Best to you in New Year 2013 Wes21
The Republican, Neo-Con. Libertarian and Tea Party Fascists plans to take over America will never succeed as long as all us vigilant, just and patriotic Democrats are there to STOP you.

God bless Freedom, Prosperity and Justice for all in America!
VnVet......Not really sure why you are venting on Obama...Seems you have other problems ??
As far as I can tell the VA Hospitals are going full BLAST....And the care an expense laid out per Veteran, has increased substancially...
A few years back a Cabinet Post was added to the Government.
I'm sure there are some locations that are being overwhelmed....There are reasons:
Because of the RECESSION, and job losses or healthcare problems through employers; Many more Veterans are fleeing to the VA, for healthcare...All ages,all Wars, or all Services, many young ones coming back from MidEeast too.(seen a lot of that)
Many of the older Vets are getting many maladies because of old age...55-65 and up.
I believe a lot of the younger Vets are overwhelming the system, because they have been directed there, for just about anything and many do not have healthcare.
Many of WW2 Vets are now dead or in long term care...
Korean and Viet Nam Vets are heading that same direction.
But you don't have to be a Combat Vet to get care....Just a Vet.
If you know of Vets in need, I strongly recommend them contacting an American Legion, VFW or other Vets organization to help guide them through the system...They have Service officers or contacts....
I have been a sevice connected disabled combat vet since 1965....Started by getting 10% then.
I sought little more, until just recent years. Because other guy/gals needed it more..
It takes time to work through the System, because they are very busy..Not because of Obama.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- UofL President, Dr. James Ramsey, is firing back after some controversial comments by the President of Ohio State University Gordon Gee.
During a meeting of the Ohio State Athletic Council in December, he said the Big Ten Conference wouldn't accept UofL because academics at UofL aren't up to par.
The story brought strong reactions.
Gee has since tweeted out "I am truly sorry for my comments -- such attempts at humor do not reflect Ohio State values, nor my role as its president."

Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice fired after abusive video
The backlash from a video that shows Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice verbally and physically abusing his players apparently proved too much for the school as it announced Wednesday Rice has officially been fired.
As USA Today reports, Rutgers made the announcement just a day after ESPN aired the shocking footage of a hot-tempered Rice kicking, shoving and screaming at his players, sometimes using gay slurs.
"Based upon recently revealed information and a review of previously discovered issues, Rutgers has terminated the contract of Mike Rice," the school statement read.
Rice wasn't fired immediately, which angered many in the Rutgers community.
"I am responsible for the decision to attempt a rehabilitation of Coach Rice," athletic director Tim Pernetti said in a statement. "Dismissal and corrective action were debated in December and I thought it was in the best interest of everyone to rehabilitate, but I was wrong. Moving forward, I will work to regain the trust of the Rutgers community."

The Apostrophe Paris 6 : A boutique hotel near Montparnasse
The Apostrophe is a « boutique » hotel with original designed rooms near the Montparnasse district. In one of our rooms, « Travelers diary », we wanted to celebrate and honor this part of Paris. Montparnasse, a peculiar place where tourism, culture and epicurean life comes together perfectly. It is a must visit district that has to be part of your next traveling plans !
Montparnasse it is and has always been « the ideal place » to celebrate anything. Since the time of « Montparnos » (artistic period between the two great wars), artists such as Gauguin or Matisse would gather around Apollinaire at Café du Dôme, just like Hemingway, Henry Miller ou Man Ray will do in later years. Others would choose « La Coupole » (Cocteau, Picasso, Foujita, Zadkine, Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir…).
« La Ruche », a sort of »cosmopolitan village » is the center of Artistic Paris (« Ecole de Paris »). It welcomed artists from around the world over the years. Further, the North- South bound metro line (line 12) inaugurated on 1910, favored the daily « artistic exodus » from Montmartre to Montparnasse. The opening of Blvd Raspail and its intersection, shaped Vavin as the heart of Montparnasse.
What does remain of those crazy years?
An incomparable cultural and touristic legacy with the theatres' district around « rue de la Gaieté' and « Bobino », the cemetery of Montparnasse (the tombs of Baudelaire, Sartre, Beauvoi or Gainsbourg…), The Cartier Foundation ... Without omitting the Montparnasse tower (59 floors) its panoramic view ( Parisian will tell you that it is the most magnificent one beacuse once on top of it, they don't see it anymore )
For those who loves to shop, « rue de Rennes » is the perfect place to indulge on. The connection between Montparnasse train station and Saint Germain des Prés is outstanding. Outdoor market such as the one on Edgar Quinet blvd, is the perfect spot for those who loves to shop for fresh products.
Plenty of restaurants and grand brasseries : The classic ones(Le Dôme, La Rotonde, La Coupole), the créperies-we may remind you that we're in the Breton district of paris!- (Tijos, Chez Josselin) and the surprising « Ciel de Paris » ( the restaurant on top of Montparnasse tower) with its attractive Champagne bar, a great spot to look the Eiffel Tower square in the eye.

The inaugural PASS Business Analytics Conference made its mark on Chicago and the world of business intelligence and analytics April 10-12, featuring 1,150+ registrations and almost 900 attendees from across 26 countries.

Many attendees also spent a day in one of the BA Conference's five pre-conference sessions or took advantage of the co-located BigDataCamp meet-up before the Welcome Reception.
Check out all the highlights – including Microsoft's public preview announcement of 3D mapping tool Project codename "GeoFlow" for Excel - in our community blog post roundups and on our Facebook photostream.

More Business Analytics
Join Microsoft's Roger Barga, who wasn't able to make the PASS BA Conference due to weather, for a webinar presentation of "The Unrealized Power of Data," Thursday, April 25, at noon ET – hosted by the PASS Business Analytics Virtual Chapter.
Award-winning economist and Freakonomics author Dr. Steven Levitt set the tone for an amazing last day at the PASS Business Analytics Conference Friday with his "Think Like a Freak" keynote, telling the crowd of data professionals: "You guys are the future. What you're doing is the key to a business' success or failure."
Day 2 featured huge lines at Dr. Levitt's SuperFreakonomics book signing, followed by 30 breakout sessions with the industry's leading BI/BA experts. Catch up on Day 2's happenings and full event recaps with these community articles and posts (more to come):
In a high-energy Day 1 PASS Business Analytics Conference keynote that had attendees laughing throughout, Microsoft BI's Kamal Hathi and Amir Netz analyzed the Billboard charts and the effects of American Idol twitter activity using Excel 2013's PowerPivot, Power View, and Data Explorer - and showed off the new public preview of Project codename GeoFlow on an 80-inch Perceptive Pixel touch-screen display.
Focusing on simplicity, Amir said Microsoft wants to do with BI what "PowerPoint did to the slide projector," making business intelligence cheaper, faster, and easier. BI needs to be something that everyone can use, he added: BI should stand for "Basic Intelligence."
The opening keynote also included Dell Software Group's Matt Wolken talking about the promise of analytics and the opportunity for data pros to use analytics to help drive revenue in their organization. "BI is the fastest growing enterprise application," he noted, adding that companies implementing BI/BA solutions are 13% more profitable that their competitors.
PASS President Bill Graziano led off with a warm welcome to almost 900 attendees and a call for data professionals to come together to connect, share, and learn beyond the BA Conference. "We are asked on a daily basis to do more with data and within our roles as data professionals," he said. "There's a real need for knowledge and support for this growing field of business analytics. As a community of professionals, experts, and partners, we can support and learn from each other as the world of data changes around us."
Below, check out our Day 1 press release and keynote recaps and articles from press and bloggers (updated as new posts go up) and see how to get the preview of the GeoFlow 3D geographical data visualization add-in for Excel. And tune in to the always entertaining and informative #passbac Twitter stream for the latest news and views.

We live in exciting times from the point of view of data analysis. Nowadays, the problem is no longer how to find the raw data, but how to handle the pressure of data coming in from so many places. At the end of the day, the goal is always the same, extracting useful knowledge from data. This has been the goal of Business Intelligence (BI) since 1958, when Hans Peter Luhn used this term for the first time. In more than 50 years, the technology evolved, increasing the manageable amount of data and lowering the related costs. However, it always required professionals who were able to create and refresh the data model, empowering end users with canned reports and data navigation tools. A common issue in this process was the gap between people who knew the business and BI developers. In the best case, this gap produced long development times. In the worst case, it led to project failure.
Today, this gap can be drastically reduced. Thanks to Self-Service BI products, if you know your business, you can create a data model without having to ask for a BI professional consultancy. However, a common mistake is thinking that these new technologies are meant to kill the traditional data warehouse approach, i.e. the Corporate BI. In reality, self-service BI is an opportunity to improve the ROI of a properly built data warehouse, even if an optimal architecture might require some adaptation to the data warehouse schema, in order to simplify and optimize the extraction of data for self-service BI purposes.
When we use the term Business Analytics we refer to the exploration and investigation of data. This requires the usage of statistical methods and data visualization, and oftentimes needs adapting the data model. The PASS Business Analytics Conference (PASS BAC) in Chicago this April is the right place to go to learn more about tools, methodology and best practices in the Business Analytics area.
I will speak at the PASS BAC in two sessions about the state of the art in self-service BI:
Look at the many other sessions available in the program and join us in Chicago at the PASS Business Analytics Conference!
Only five sleeps until the PASS Business Analytics Conference. Warm up with these blog posts and articles from around the world of business intelligence and analytics, and we'll see you in Chicago next week!

Leader, PASS Business Analytics Virtual Chapter
When I was growing up in the '70s, I desperately wanted my own rotary-style desk phone (preferably in pink) so I could call my best friend next door. Money was tight, and I was too lazy to walk over every time I wanted to chat. So I decided to raid my father's workshop and make a pulley system out of wood and twine between our bedroom windows to pass notes attached to clothes pins. Obviously, this solution didn't scale!
Fast forward to today, and the variety of technologies used to harness data – and the sheer volume of data – has exploded. Just a few years back, there was minimal demand for advanced business analytics to derive more business value from data, but with current trends, such analytics are imperative.
So as a data professional, what are you doing to adapt to the fast-changing world of data, which shows no sign of slowing down? As part of my career plan, I will be attending the PASS Business Analytics Conference in Chicago next week. Here are my top 10 reasons why.

Shipping was longer than expected. Normally I get your stuff in 3-4 days after placing order. This shipment took 1 1/2 weeks so I will probably be returning this item. Bought similar item locally for my turkey outing last weekend. My Amazon stuff got here in 2 days.

416 Pages of Pucci
On Wednesday evening, at its recently christened Madison Avenue flagship, Pucci invited friends such as Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, Karla Otto, and Bibhu Mohapatra to fete the new edition of Taschen's Emilio Pucci. The lushly illustrated tome—initially released as an oversize, limited-run epic covered in vintage fabric—has been given new life as a 416-page coffee-table book. Four different covers are available in Pucci's signature acid-hued, kaleidoscopic prints, each of which was plucked from the archives. "We all believe that at a moment when the world is becoming bigger, it's nice to make sure that people can understand where you come from," offered Laudomia Pucci—Emilio's daughter and the house's vice president.
Style.com caught up with the book's author (and Financial Times fashion editor), Vanessa Friedman. In between inscribing copies, she dished on what she believes makes Pucci so timeless. "It's really about an attitude, as opposed to a particular style," she said. "It's not about a silhouette. It's about a way of existing in your clothes, and a freedom that your clothes give you to move and feel good about yourself."
Emilio Pucci is available now at Pucci boutiques, and at www.taschen.com.

And a hot potato too, with all that foil.
Oh, Jiggly. Oh, Jiggy Jiggly. I wanted to like you. I really did. But then you went and fucked everything up.
She started on the right foot with me- I'm a huge nerd, so I appreciated her Pokémon-inspired drag name, and I'm also quite fond of Filipinos (you can thank Manila Luzon, Darren Criss, and Lea Salonga for that). She seemed to have a cute, quirky personality, and despite her literally trashy runway look, she was doing her best to sell it to the judges. Her look might have busted, but she made that lipsync her bitch and worked it like Laquifa the pimp-ho.
But then came Untucked and all that goodwill went to shit. Jiggly got ugly.
While my opinion of Jiggly went down the drain, Lashauwn Beyond made me like her a whole lot more because everything she said to Jiggly was pretty damn true. Remember that list I talked about when I was elaborating where Alisa went horribly wrong? You know, the list I would make of things I would want to remember if I was ever cast on RPDR? Well right under "DON'T FUCKING WEAR A BREASTPLATE", I would write, "LEARN HOW TO MOTHERFUCKING SEW".
This is season four of this show. SEASON FOUR. There is no excuse, none whatsoever, for a contestant to go on this show and not know how to sew. Or if they don't know how to sew properly, then they have no fucking right to complain about it or make excuses. The first episode of every single season so far has been to make a drag look out of shit. Season one? Thrift store shit. Season two? Window shit. Season three? Christmas shit. So coming on this show and acting surprised when you have to make something out of shit is a load of fucking bullshit.
And that's not to mention all of the other sewing-related challenges that come up throughout the season. Making looks out of money, wedding dresses, and hair. Making looks for old queens, biological women, and straight guys. The bottom line is, if you can't sew then gtfo. Again, it's season four, so all the queens had better damn know what's coming. Seriously, take some sewing classes, for fuck's sake. In the least, don't sit there and act like not knowing how to sew is some kind of excuse.
And Jiggly, honey, you're a drag queen best known for having the shittiest look on the first episode of season four of RPDR, not motherfucking Beyonce. I'm sure Beyonce doesn't clean her own house, but I bet she did before she was famous or else she'd probably still be buried under a pile of trash not unlike the one you made your Rupocalypse look from.
Credit where credit is due, though- Jiggly gives great face.
