[video] Jim Cramer Quick Take: Anointed Stocks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With the Federal Reserve's decision to not taper, TheStreet's Jim Cramer told Mad Money research director Nicole Urken what sectors he thinks will finish strong this year.
Cramer suggested that investors stick with what's worked thus far in 2013, and likes high-growth biotech stocks in the low inflation environment. He likes Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN), Celgene (CELG), Gilead Sciences (GILD), and Biogen Idec (BIIB).
Consumer-discretionary stocks, particularly GameStop (GME), should continue to do well, especially with the launch of Grand Theft Auto V.
Cramer said that financial stocks, despite a flat yield curve, should also do well.Stocks such as E-Trade Financial (ETFC), Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) and Lincoln National (LNC) should all be bought, although Lincoln National has been under pressure, he admitted. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

The Tigers (9-1 overall, 1-1 Western Athletic Conference) also saw their modest two-match unbeaten streak against Central Valley come to an end as the Hawks (12-1, 2-0) extended their own winning streak Thursday to eight games.
In 2012, Patterson finished the regular season tied for first place in the conference standings with Central Valley, but it held the tiebreaker advantage in Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoff seeding because of its 1-0-1 record against the Hawks.
Paced by three goals from senior Omar Orozco and one from junior Jose Martin, the Hawks midfield was all over the pitch Thursday at Patterson Community Stadium, setting up attackers and creating opportunities for themselves.
After several early runs, pushing the ball up the field and challenging Patterson's goalkeeper, Central Valley found the back of the net with a strike by Martin in the 12th minute.
On the attack less than six minutes later, Orozco punched the ball into the right side of the net to make it 2-0.
In the 20th minute of the first half, after outracing the home team's defense to a loose ball in the Patterson end, Orozco made a sharp cut into the penalty area and immediately fired a right-footed shot that beat the Tigers' keeper to the far post.
Patterson found the back of the net in the 22nd minute, however.
Dribbling through the Hawks' defense with an with array of intricate spin moves, jukes and fakes, Patterson junior Andres Herrera sent a rolling shot on goal that got past Central Valley's keeper, and made it 3-1.
With Orozco sidelined after being taken out on a yellow card-drawing foul five minutes later, the Tigers again mustered offense through a rigid Hawks' defense.
Patterson senior Ricardo Alcateur converted a rebound chance following a free kick in the 14th minute, and cut the deficit to 3-2 going into the intermission.
The Hawks quickly quelled any momentum the Tigers gained, however, by scoring a goal of their own less than three minutes into the second half.
Orozco continued the scoring for the Hawks, when he received a return pass and fired a shot over Patterson's net-minder from the left side to provide the final margin of victory.
The Tigers will continue their season at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, when they travel to face Los Banos High.
Junior varsity
The JV Tigers (0-2 WAC) fell to Central Valley 5-0 in a league match at Patterson Community Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 19.

Top 10 Holiday Food Safety Tips
Don't be a turkey about food safety this season.
Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
Cooks across the country are making plans for holiday feasts that include everyone's favorite dishes, from cornbread stuffing to pumpkin pie. Friends and families are invited, and excitement is in the air. Food safety is probably not the first thing you think about when planning a holiday dinner. But to keep your gathering from being memorable in the wrong way, it's important to take steps to protect your guests from food-borne illnesses.
While the U.S. food supply is one of the safest in the world, some 76 million people get sick from food-borne illness every year, according to the CDC. And food safety can be a special challenge during the holidays. Not only is it cold and flu season, but the menu may includes more dishes than there is room for in the refrigerator or oven.
"It takes skill, timing and organization to pull off a healthy holiday meal with all the dishes that need to be kept at proper temperature so bacteria won't have a chance to grow," says food safety expert Missy Cody, PhD, RD, head of the nutrition division at Georgia State University.
Further, most guest lists include people who are especially vulnerable to food borne illness -- older people, young children, pregnant women, or anyone with a compromised immune system. And your menu may include food offerings from friends and relatives that have traveled for hours or have been kept at room temperature for extended time. ("Advise your guests to put piping hot food into a container before they leave home and when they arrive, be sure to refrigerate promptly or reheat to 165 degrees Fahrenheit," says Cody.)
To make sure your holiday dinner is not only delicious but as safe as possible, WebMD asked the experts for their best holiday food safety tips. Here are their top 10 suggestions:

Celebrating our Future while Embracing our Past
Thursday, Sept. 13, 2007
1:00 pm-2:30 pm
Donahue 403
Join us as we kick off our month-long celebration of Hispanic Heritage. Our keynote speaker, Raquel Ortiz, will speak on "The Importance of Legacy."
Raquel Ortiz is an award-winning producer, writer, and director. She has 35 years of experience in television and educational production within the public broadcast system and the media. She also owned and managed her own independent production company, Ortiz/Simon Productions, Inc., which specialized in the development and production of multicultural film and video projects; produced multimedia educational videos and TV and radio commercials; and has consulted for various media entities in the United States and Latin America. Her award-winning works include the Latino series La Plaza produced for WGBH-TV in Boston, the educational language video Caminos des Jaguar, and Mi Puerto Rico, a personal documentary journey exploring the complex relationship between Puerto Rico and the US for PBS.
Ortiz's latest book, The Silk Purse, chronicles the life of a young Puerto Rican girl growing up in the Bronx and provides an intimate portrayal of a Puerto Rican family and their close-knit neighborhood. According to Ortiz, "...the most important thing we can leave behind is our legacy, especially if we don't have children of our own. Our stories, our experiences, our lesson; the things you learn from your family, be it cultural, language, history, idiosyncratic and personal. The lessons you learned on your own - but with the inner voice of your family and heritage -- both the good and the bad -- that helped give you perspective and helped make you your own person, more authentic. My intention here is that the stories will help make life for our children, our family, and our community better by adding context, depth and perspective. My hope is that perhaps my stories, be they documentaries or a memoir or a speech, inform, engage and enlighten their spirits, and maybe even make their lives a little brighter, if only for a brief moment."
Reception and book signing will follow. Refreshments will be served.
Co-sponsored by the Communication & Journalism Department and the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program.

No post players took bigger leaps this year than LaMarcus Aldridge and Zach Randolph. For LA, it was about taking control of a team that desperately needed leadership once Greg Oden and Brandon Roy
were both lost to injuries. For Z-Bo, it was about changing a
perception that he was selfish, a guy who never passed once the ball
came down to him.
After Roy went down in December, Aldridge answered the bell, averaging
23.8 points and 9.2 rebounds in the next four months, crossing a line
between effort and hate-to-lose in that span, something I'm not sure
Randolph had ever done in Portland. Randolph came into the league with
unquestioned scoring touch, but "leader" isn't something you expect to
pop up in a game of Z-Bo word association. And it's Aldridge's
continued production and potential that makes this an easy call over
Randolph. Four years younger, Aldridge has flourished playing the
third-most minutes per game (39.6) in the league with a newfound
confidence that the Blazers are his team. Even after the best
basketball of his career this year, it could still be too early to
judge his ceiling.
At only 6-9, Randolph out-rebounds and out-muscles the 6-11 Aldridge
(12.2 rpg vs. 8.8) in the post. He's always had a soft touch around the
basket and seems unstoppable down low. When Rudy Gay
and his 19.8 points per game went down for the season with a shoulder
injury, Randolph stepped up his workload and rose to the occasion. With
the Grizz playing as well as they're playing right now, it's not
unthinkable to say that they could come out of the West. Not getting
ahead of myself, it's just not unthinkable. And yes, both guys have
been asked to carry a sizable portion of their respective team's load,
especially in the postseason. But I'm taking Randolph in this matchup.

Both players are in the Top 5. Z-Bo is obviously the better rebounder and scorer in the paint, but LA is more athletic, a better finisher in traffic, has more range and is better on the defensive end of the floor. Looking back, I wish we would have kept Zach and played he and LA together but that ship has sailed. Right now, I'll take LA by the smallest of margins, just because of his production compared to his supporting cast. No one else can really take the burden off of his shoulders down low. Teams don't respect CJ or Marcus on offense, so they collapse on LA. Zach has the privilege of playing alongside Marc Gasol, one of the emerging young centers in the league. Also, LA plays defense which can never be overlooked. Finally, LA is about 4 years younger, so I'd go with him for the future as well. But Z-Bo is ballin' right now and I hope they win it all now that we are out of it.

World Wetlands Day 2003: Ireland
World Wetlands Day 2003 in Ireland
Coastwatch Tel: +353 (0)55 25843 Fax: +353 (0)55 25842 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Web: www.coastwatcheurope.org
Collecting Wetland Information and wetland seminar with launch on Feb 10th 2003.
Please contribute information about your local wetland to an all Ireland wetland event planned for Monday 10th Feb. 03, by Coastwatch Ireland, The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Northern Ireland and The Irish Peatland Conservation Council.
Coastwatch and their partners in NI the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, are looking for beauty, value and functions of wetlands, as well as problems and misuse with view to addressing these. The Irish Peatland Conservation Council IPCC are looking for frog and tadpole information. Frog survey cards and information available at www.ipcc.ie.
1. Go out this week and gather the information about your wetland as by guidelines from the three partners (back of this page)
2. Contact us with the information as soon as you have it. That finishes frog work.
3. Prepare any photos, drawings and notes for exhibition on Feb 10th 2003
You are invited with your wetland information and any questions, concerns or recommendations to the Feb 10th wetland workshop and launch in ENFO.
The event will include short overview papers, a panel of experts to ask and discuss wetland issues with, followed by Luka Bloom's musical launch of wetland posters and legal guide for the layman. Space is strictly limited.
For invite and details please email Karin Dubsky of Coastwatch firstname.lastname@example.com , phone the Wexford Coastwatch office 055 25843, fax 055 25842 Mobile - 086 8111 684.
What are wetlands anyway?
Wetlands are areas of wet land, or shallow water. In a recent pilot project 26 different wetland types were identified in Co Wexford alone. See www.wexfordwetlands.org . Few European countries could boast such diversity in similar area. Wetlands have many functions and values. However, they are neither adequately protected by law, nor is the law which we do have enforced as well as it could be. Even knowledge about wetland functions is poor. One example is the totally neglected role of wetlands in flood control. Even though Climate change appears to be hitting and flooding is a serious problem, essential floodplains around many of our rivers are still being filled in, thus actively compounding our problems.
We know very little about most wetlands. Your information is really important. Sunday 2nd Feb was World Wetland Day. If you want to find out more about wetlands around the world and our own latest government report to the Convention, look at the web www.Ramsar.org. Coastwatch, is the non government Irish 'Focal Point' for the Ramsar World Wetland Convention.
Contribute to an All Ireland Wetland Exhibition.
To prepare, check you have photo film, or sketch pad. If you have an open mind as to which wetland to visit, look down the list of Ramsar World wetland types (enclosed) relevant to Ireland for inspiration. Or look at the wetland examples from the Wexford wetlands pilot project www.wexfordwetlands.org .
Any time during the week of Sun 2nd Feb ( World wetland day) and Sunday 9th February
1. Take photos or sketches of your local wetland to raise awareness of the
- - beauty and/or value of wetlands, and/or
- - wetland functions and/or
- - problem or misuses we must try and halt or reverse
2. Note down, mark on map, or sketch where you took the photo or drawing/painting. So that you can find the site again.
3. If photos, develop the film and chose up to 6 photos. Any size is fine.
4. Sign back of each photo/drawing and mark order if they are to be hung in sequence.
5. For each display please add a note with the following information:
- - Theme (beauty, function ..) and caption for your picture(s).
- - Wetland name and location
- - Artist/Photographer name and address, contact email, or phone
- - Date taken
- - Signed statement 'I agree to have my work exhibited and agree to have the exhibit published if selected on Feb 10th'. If you include children in the picture then you also need a note from a parent to agree to publication.
- - NB- (If you do not wish the wetland location, and or your name to be known, this information can be withheld from the exhibition. But you must make that clear on the back of the photo) You may wish to add extra comment or reference, especially if you believe the site is threatened or you want follow up action.
6. Email or fax information in point 4 across to either email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com 055 25842 for the exhibition inventory and labels.
7. For those who cannot come to Dublin on Feb 10th, please send the material to arrive by Friday Feb 7th, to Karin Dubsky, Coastwatch Coordinator, Whitewalls, Ballymoney, Co Wexford.. Please can we keep this information for the exhibition?
On Monday 10th February Workshop, exhibition and launch day in ENFO. (see prog.)
Anyone bringing exhibits should be in ENFO by 10.00 a.m. to put up own exhibit. We will have display boards, Velcro, tape and washing line with cloth pegs for quick hanging. After the event you may wish to take your exhibit back or give it to Coastwatch as start of a wetland exhibition, which is to be added to and tour during the year.
Contribute to the IPCC Frog and Tadpole Survey
The Irish Peatland Conservation Council will take your frog and tadpole finds and collate them as they come in during the week. Any finds notified by Fri 7th February 10 am will be included in the frog survey report presented by IPCC in the workshop on Feb 10th. So to prepare, lift information from the website www.ipcc.ie . When out at your wetland, take a close look for a frog, tadpoles left from last year, or egg mass and complete information card. Send back immediately.

Wetland Type Classification Glossary
The Ramsar Classification System for Wetland Types is a world wide system developed by the Ramsar World Wetland Convention signatories as 'common language'. The majority of types are found in Ireland and are listed below. You can use the code letter(s) or full type name. Your wetland might fall under a number of wetland types, in which case write all appropriate codes. (e.g. if you have a piece of coast with sea cliffs and intertidal sandflat beach with dunes, it would be A, D, G, E).
Marine/Coastal Wetlands
A -- Permanent shallow marine waters in most cases less than six metres deep at low tide; includes sea bays and straits.
B -- Marine subtidal aquatic beds; includes kelp beds, sea-grass beds, marine meadows.
C -- Coral reefs.
D -- Rocky marine shores; includes rocky offshore islands, sea cliffs.
E -- Sand, shingle or pebble shores; includes sand bars, spits and sandy islets; includes dune systems and humid dune slacks.
F -- Estuarine waters; permanent water of estuaries and estuarine systems of deltas.
G -- Intertidal mud, sand or salt flats.
H -- Intertidal marshes; includes salt marshes, salt meadows, saltings, raised salt marshes; includes tidal brackish and freshwater marshes.
J -- Coastal brackish/saline lagoons; brackish to saline lagoons with at least one interim or continuous connection to the sea.
K -- Coastal freshwater lagoons; includes freshwater delta lagoons.
Zk(a) - Karst and other subterranean hydrological systems, marine/coastal
Inland Wetlands
M -- Permanent rivers/streams/creeks; includes waterfalls.
N -- Seasonal/intermittent/irregular rivers/streams/creeks.
O -- Permanent freshwater lakes (over 8 ha); includes large oxbow lakes.
P -- Seasonal/intermittent freshwater lakes (over 8 ha); includes floodplain lakes.
Q -- Permanent saline/brackish/alkaline lakes.
R -- Seasonal/intermittent saline/brackish/alkaline lakes and flats.
Sp -- Permanent saline/brackish/alkaline marshes/pools.
Ss -- Seasonal/intermittent saline/brackish/alkaline marshes/pools.
Tp -- Permanent freshwater marshes/pools; ponds (below 8 ha), marshes and swamps on inorganic soils; with emergent vegetation water-logged for at least most of the growing season.
Ts -- Seasonal/intermittent freshwater marshes includes sloughs, seasonally flooded meadows, sedge marshes
U -- Non-forested peatlands; includes shrub or open bogs, swamps, fens.
W -- Shrub-dominated wetlands; shrub swamps, shrub-dominated freshwater marshes, shrub carr, alder thicket on inorganic soils.
Xf -- Freshwater, tree-dominated wetlands; includes freshwater swamp forests, seasonally flooded forests, wooded swamps on inorganic soils.
Xp -- Forested peatlands; peatswamp forests.
Y -- Freshwater springs;
Zk(b) - Karst and other subterranean hydrological systems, inland
Note: Floodplain wetlands are not listed as a specific wetland type here. "Floodplain" is a broad term and will include one or more wetland types - e.g. one river floodplain may have natural wet meadows, seasonal pools and seasonally flooded woodlands. Please note 'floodplain' followed by type(s) of wetland found in the floodplain.
Man-made wetlands
1 -- Aquaculture (e.g., fish/shrimp) ponds
2 -- Ponds; includes farm ponds, stock ponds, small tanks; (generally below 8 ha).
3 -- Irrigated land; includes irrigation channels and rice fields.

An update of the past couple of weeks
An update of the past couple of weeks
April 16, 2012
Where has the time gone? These last few weeks in D.C. have all been a blur. I have spent majority of my time working, going on field trips, visiting museums, and getting to know more about D.C. as each day passes. Let me update you on my summer plans: A couple of weeks ago I got offered a Summer Human Resources Internship with Cargill (one of the largest privately owned companies in the world). I gladly accepted and now will be moving to Dodge City, Kansas, for my summer near the end of May. I am really looking forward to this opportunity and can't wait to learn more about this part of the business sector. I will be working in a beef processing plant, so the cattle will come in, and processed meat will come out. It will definitely be an experience that I will most likely never forget. Ultimately this changes my plans for staying in D.C. this summer but I think that the Cargill opportunity will be a good fit, and it is in HR (what I really am interested in) so I think I made the right decision. As far as field trips that we have gone on in the past couple of weeks the list includes: The Newseum, a museum that has all things news whether it be newspaper articles dating back to the 18th century, memorials for 9/11, and part of the Berlin Wall. This museum was definitely a neat experience and there is so much to see. I was fortunate to visit the Newseum twice while I was in D.C. and I still don't think that I saw everything. This past week we got the opportunity to hear Tucker Carlson (a news anchor for Fox) share about his experience in the journalism world. He was definitely a character and knew how to keep our attention. This last week, all of the LCWS students have a reception at a place called Whitlow's in Virginia. It is crazy to think that this is our last week here. This semester has flown by. As I finish up my last week, I will be spending majority of my time preparing the last assignments for my classes, cleaning my apartment, cooking all of the food I have left in my kitchen, and packing. I definitely realized that I brought way too many things out here that I didn't even use. It should be interesting to pack it all up in boxes and find the nearest post office to ship it home. I fly out on Sunday so I have a little bit of time to get everything ready. Leaving D.C. is very bittersweet. I definitely think I learned a lot from this experience and value it very much; however, I miss my friends from Luther, family and the little perks about not sharing a bedroom or bathroom with someone else. It will be nice to see everyone at home and visit Luther at least once before their semester ends. The nice thing about the D.C. semester is that you get done with classes about 3 weeks earlier than everyone else so you get a chance to have almost an extra month of summer vacation. I know this is a brief update and I've pretty much failed at the month of April to blog, but I plan on updating you about my ENTIRE semester once I get home and have settled down.

Donte Ingram's first season at Simeon has been a whirlwind.
Just as the 6-foot-5 junior, a transfer from Danville, was earning extended minutes off the bench, he was declared ineligible by the Illinois High School Association due to residency issues. The ruling came on Jan. 15, months after Chicago Public Schools had cleared him to play.
Then last week, with Ingram's residency resolved, the IHSA reversed course and he returned to his role as a key sub who can play multiple positions.
He hasn't made a big statistical impact, but he has benefited from the exposure of playing for Simeon.
Ingram knocked down 14 straight jump shots Tuesday before sitting down for a Q&A with the Tribune.
First basketball memory?
Playing outside on my third birthday.
Biggest influence in your career?
My parents.
How do you like living in Chicago?
I like it. There's more activity.
What was your reaction when you found out you were eligible again?
I was happy. Relieved to get back.
What is your understanding of what happened with your eligibility?
My dad doesn't want me to talk about that.
Has it been difficult going from being a starter at Danville to coming off the bench?
I understood that at Simeon you have to play a role. I know I'm going to get better and get more exposure.
Are you hearing from any colleges?
Yes. Xavier, Iowa, Stanford, Marquette, Missouri State and a few other Big Ten schools.
Basketball plans for this spring and summer?

No Hibernation for New Teddy Bears Thanks to Teen Hospital Volunteers

No Hibernation for New Teddy Bears Thanks to Teen Hospital Volunteers
MELROSE PARK, Ill. While many of their friends were dying brightly colored eggs or enjoying the start of a special holiday vacation, three Chicago-area teenagers visited a local hospital to lift the spirits of the youngest patients. The trio gave more than 500 new teddy bears to the hospital as part of a volunteer program they created. When Michelle Fritz, 13, would visit her grandfather in the hospital, she noticed a young patient who never seemed to have visitors. "I felt really sorry for her because she didn't have any family or friends who brought her presents or came to see her and she looked so sad and lonely," said the 7th grader at St. Maria Goretti Catholic School in the Chicago suburb of Schiller Park. Now thanks to the kindness of Michelle and five of her schoolmates, young patients at Loyola University Health System's Gottlieb Memorial Hospital will always have a warm, fuzzy friend for company. Michelle and her friends collected more than 500 new teddy bears from community members as part of their "Hospital Hearts Teddy Bears" program. On Good Friday, Michelle and her friends Carli Deegan and Bri Swanson visited Gottlieb's Pediatrics Department and family-centered care unit to give new teddy bears to young hospital patients. "I'd like the orange one," said 10-year-old José Iniquez, when the teenagers offered him a selection of big, small, furry or smooth bears. Marilou Rodriguez, supervising nurse of Pediatrics, and her fellow staff members accepted the many bags of bears gratefully. "A hospital stay can be stressful for young people; for many it is their first time away from home. Having a colorful, cuddly bear for company helps calm fears and promotes healing. And knowing they are a loving gift from a fellow young person makes it all the more special," Rodriguez said. Rodriguez praised the teenagers initiative. "To come up with this volunteer idea and then spend time and energy gathering these bears to help others is really wonderful and the young girls are so kind to put the feelings of others first," she said. New mother Maria Romero accepted a traditional brown teddy bear for her son, Isaac, who was born less than 24 hours before at Gottlieb. "It's his first teddy bear and it means so much to us that it was a gift from these sweet girls. We will treasure it always," she said. Wearing shirts they had created themselves to promote their program, the three girls told Gottlieb Memorial Hospital nurses that they would be back. "We started the program in December, but we want to continue to encourage teddy bear donations," said Carli, who has been a regular at the hospital but as a patient rather than a visitor. "I play school team sports and have broken six bones in the past three months. I know how scary coming to the hospital can be," she said.
Loyola University Health System (LUHS) is a member of Trinity Health. Based in the western suburbs of Chicago, LUHS is a quaternary care system with a 61-acre main medical center campus, the 36-acre Gottlieb Memorial Hospital campus and more than 30 primary and specialty care facilities in Cook, Will and DuPage counties. The medical center campus is conveniently located in Maywood, 13 miles west of the Chicago Loop and 8 miles east of Oak Brook, Ill. The heart of the medical center campus is a 559-licensed-bed hospital that houses a Level 1 Trauma Center, a Burn Center and the Ronald McDonald® Children's Hospital of Loyola University Medical Center. Also on campus are the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center, Loyola Outpatient Center, Center for Heart & Vascular Medicine and Loyola Oral Health Center as well as the LUC Stritch School of Medicine, the LUC Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing and the Loyola Center for Fitness. Loyola's Gottlieb campus in Melrose Park includes the 255-licensed-bed community hospital, the Professional Office Building housing 150 private practice clinics, the Adult Day Care, the Gottlieb Center for Fitness, Loyola Center for Metabolic Surgery and Bariatric Care and the Loyola Cancer Care & Research at the Marjorie G. Weinberg Cancer Center at Melrose Park.

We are unable to give test results to parents or over the phone. Family Privacy Act requires results be given directly to the student or a designated representative of the student.
SSC requires students who intend to pursue a degree or certificate to take a COMPASS® college placement test (computerized, un-timed test) in reading, English, and mathematics. This is not an entrance exam. It is a placement exam to ensure that all new students are placed into courses which are appropriate to their skill level. If the results indicate, an applicant is required to take the College Preparatory classes during their first semester and continue in subsequent semesters until all required work is completed. A placement into RDG080 and RDG081 restricts student registration to certain courses.
Frequently Asked Questions about COMPASS® Testing
For more information on COMPASS®, including sample questions, visit the COMPASS® web site. Their site gives some general information about the assessment as well as review questions that students will find helpful in preparing for the test.
- Submit an SSC application to Admissions and Records
- Review for the placement testing using the resources provided above
- Check the testing schedule ( Testing Schedule online or in Admissions)
- Visit Room 2266 and request Placement Testing
After you complete your placement tests, your results will tell you which courses you are ready to take. You are required to take these placement courses in order to get the skills you will need for college work. You need to sign up for a two-hour orientation after testing during which you will be introduced to the college in more detail, learn about SSC's programs and services, have your assessment results interpreted for you and have any other questions you might have answered.
Your orientation counselor will be able to answer your placement questions. You may also petition a faculty member in the subject of placement that you think is not appropriate. Please ask the assessment personnel, or your orientation counselor, for the procedures and phone extensions that you will need.
The CLEP and DANTES examination programs are methods by which college credit may be earned for prior knowledge acquired through independent study, non-academic classes, the armed forces, or onthe-job experiences.
SSC accepts 15 hours of CLEP or DANTES credits towards degree and certificate programs. General credit may be awarded for the following examinations: English, natural sciences, humanities and social science-history. Course credit may be awarded for subject exams. CLEP and DANTES credit will be posted on the student's academic record after successfully completing six (6) semester hours at SSC, providing the student has maintained a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average. In some instances, CLEP and/or DANTES credit may be posted prior to the completion of the six credit hour requirement to satisfy course prerequisite requirements. Students must achieve the minimum score requirement established by SSC to qualify for CLEP/DANTES credit. Minimum scores required vary between subjects. The cost for taking an exam is $65 plus an additional processing fee of $25. The cost for taking a DANTES exam is $60 plus an additional processing fee of $25.
If you are considering which test you might take in order to earn credit from previous training or experience, please check out both sites for subject areas. DANTES also has practice tests available for a modest fee. SSC gives the DANTES tests, also.
- AP - College Credit for Advanced Placement Exams
The Business & Career Institute (BCI) of South Suburban College offers computer-based certification and licensure examinations for many sponsoring organizations in a comfortable, secure and dependable environment.
There are several widely accepted and very helpful interest inventories and personality measures that are used by counselors to help with making career-related decisions.
In order to take one of these, it is necessary to make an appointment with a counselor (Call Counseling, Ext. 2306) and obtain a permit. A permit simply indicates to the Assessment Center personnel which inventory or personality measure your counselor has decided will help you the most.
You may need an e-mail address to get the results of the following surveys.
- You think you're smart? Mensa International.
- Interested in your personality type? Myers Briggs Personality
- Not enough? Keirsey Temperament Sorter

Every so often at a public meeting, enraged residents come to complain about a project occurring in their backyard — be it drilling, building or some other unwanted alteration. Many times, the drilling or construction company has followed necessary laws for the project, leaving public officials powerless to legally change anything.
In such cases, the adage, "better late than never," is obsolete.
What matters is early comment — before plans are approved to alter a beloved landscape.
Residents have that chance today.
During a Bureau of Land Management open house event from 3-8 p.m. today (Thursday), residents are asked to weigh in on the future of roughly 3.2 million acres of federal land in the Big Horn Basin and 4.2 million acres of mineral estate.
The meeting takes place in the conference room of Americas Best Value Inn on Second Street in Powell.
The public is encouraged to comment and ask questions about the BLM resource-management plan, which will guide the use of federal land for the next 15-20 years.
The policy will affect the land residents use for hunting, grazing and four-wheeling. Access to these millions of acres of land will be considered in the policy, so folks who plan to use the land to hunt, graze cattle or drive ATVs need to voice their concerns to the BLM.
Comments will help identify issues and alternatives for the bureau to consider, but a BLM official said it's not a matter of counting votes for or against land use.
Take the opportunity to comment today — before it's too late.


text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Parents and lawmakers concerned about Common Core will have their chance to speak up in Buffalo. State Senator Tim Kennedy says he's received confirmation from Regent Bob Bennett a forum will be held in the Queen City. "Buffalo parents deserve the chance to be heard when it comes to the future of our schools, and I'm pleased the State Education Department will finally be releasing details about a community forum in the Buffalo-area," Kennedy said. "Many parents work late into the evening and require advance notice to make sure they will be available to attend, so it is my sincere hope that NYSED will announce their final plans as quickly as possible and give families enough time to plan out their busy schedules. "We made it clear that Buffalo, as the second largest city in the state and home to thousands of children and far too many struggling schools, should not be excluded from these critically important conversations," Kennedy added, "and we have finally received a firm commitment that a community forum will be held in Buffalo." The exact date has not been announced, but Kennedy says he's learned it will be in the next 10-14 days.

Now that winter is upon us and there is too much snow on the track to race, it's time to plop in front of the TV and get caught up on some DVD watching.
For our featured DVD this month, Best Motoring International teamed up with Japanese performance magazine Hot Version to bring us "Tuner Battle Royale". This 90-minute DVD is filled with high-quality footage and exclusive interviews with famous Japanese racers.
First stop is Japan's famous Tsukuba track for the Hot Version Festival 2005. Aside from Festival footage, the real action takes place on the track with the Tsukuba Circuit Battle featuring N/A versus turbo vehicles. Representing for the all-motor team is a bad-ass CWest S2000 that handles like a kart, J's Racing S2000-one of the top tuners for S2Ks, Route KS Zero Force NSX with an all carbon fiber body that weighs less than Lindsay Lohan, and finally, Re Amemiya 3-rotor FD piloted by Drift King Tsuchiya. Rolling up to the line for the turbo team is a Yashio Factory S15 whose pastime is chasing GT-Rs off the track, Hosaka Tuning Factory R33 GT-R, an HKS R34 Driving Performance with a variable valve timing system, touge monster MCR34 GT-R, and Mine's 600-hp R34 GT-R. It almost seemed like an S2000 versus Skyline battle. All the vehicles were aiming to beat the one-minute mark during qualifying. So not to spoil the outcome of the battle, what we will say is how obvious it is that N/A cars just can't keep up on the straightaway. Plus we all know how lovely a turbo spooling sounds.
Next up at Tsukuba is a drifting exhibition. What is cool about this DVD is that they identify the names of each type of drift. Who knew there was a cross-line drift, slalom drift, and jump rope drifting?
We remain at the Tsukuba circuit for the AE86 N2 Championship 2005. A fleet of Toyota Corollas hit the track including the vehicles of: Drift King Tsuchiya's by TRD, Sugibayashi Powers, Spirits DL Project Mu, Kito Kito Sprinter, Tec-Art Trueno, BRIG Cool Max CP Levin, kms woodvillage, kms Isono, Ishii Powers, CBY Trueno, Car Factory AI, Koshimizu Motors, Annex Mu Advan, and Kaneko Powers. Highlights of the race include seeing how Drift King responds when things don't go as planned, watching Tec-Art's sequential gearbox in action on the track, the stylistic debate of whether or not to sport a GT wing, and the good ol' underdog private owners taking their hachi roku's up against shop-sponsored cars.
Our favorite feature of this DVD was the Touge Showdown 300, Round 3 on Japan's Gunma 1.5 km downhill. Three pro drivers, Keiichi Tsuchiya (GT500 driver), Manabu Orido (GT500 driver), and Taniguchi-san (GT300 driver), evaluate and compete with a series of vehicles limited to 300 hp on the touge. Did we mention model Kozumi Kondo is in this feature? The car to beat was the Amuse S2000 F20C. With 260 hp; front engine, rear drive layout; double wishbone front and rear; and upgraded rear suspension from an '04 model, it is a touge monster. The competing cars were a Circuit Club Integra Type-R DC5, BROS Accord Euro-R (our Acura TSX), Route KS S2000, Fujita Engineering RX-8, Yashio Factory 180SX FR turbo, and San AI Works FC. After the drivers took the vehicles out for a run and gave their impressions the battle began Initial D style-tail-to-bumper start, the front car wins if the lead is spread, rear car wins if the gap is decreased. Out of that competitive group you'll have to watch the DVD to see who took home the trophy.

Cross-country runs to another top finish
The NAU cross-country squad traveled to Madison, Wisconsin and ran against some of the top teams in the nation at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational. 20 of the men's teams that participated are nationally ranked in the top 30, including No. 10 Oregon, No. 9 NC State, No. 7 Indiana, No. 6 BYU, No. 4 Stanford and tournament host Wisconsin (No. 2). The Lumberjacks are currently No. 13 in the nation.
Lumberjack senior Diego Estrada shined in the race, finishing third overall with a time of twenty-three minutes and twenty-six seconds, and beating out the defending Adidas Invitational champion, Princeton's Donn Cabral, by four seconds.
Estrada is no stranger to strong and resilient finishes. At the beginning of October, at the Oklahoma State Cowboy Jamboree, he overcame a nine-second deficit and turned it into a 13-second lead in the final mile, along with a first place finish.
"Diego had a good race," said cross-country coach Eric Heins, via NAU Athletics. "He still ran strong, and overall he was satisfied with his finish."
Estrada helped lead the Lumberjacks to an eighth place overall-finish. Senior Jordan Chipangama was the second Jack to cross the finish line, running the five-mile course in 24:25, finishing 39th. Junior Tim Freriks came in 66th with a time of 24:37, followed by seniors John Yatsko at 99th with a time of 24:49 and Andrew Belus at 125th coming in at 24:58.
"We were running in fifth place as a team at the 5K mark," Heins said via NAU Athletics. "So, our finish told us that we need to work on finishing stronger."
The women's team finished 28th overall, beating out some big name programs such as Texas A&M, Ohio State and UCLA.
"Ideally we want our third, fourth and fifth runners to finish a bit higher," Heins said, via NAU Athletics. "But overall this was a great experience for our younger runners."
Junior Rochelle Kanuho, with a time of 20:53, lead the women's team in 41st place while junior Kortnee Burton, finishing at 21:08, followed in 67th. Freshman Caroline Hogardh finished in 161st with a time of 21:42, junior Agnes Laurent crossed the finish line in 164th with a time of 21:43, and senior Haley Lawrence finishing at 21:53 in 189th.
Both teams will take a break this week as they prepare for the Big Sky Championships in Pocatello, Idaho on October 29th.

I was once rear-ended just hours before I was supposed to start a new job. First day and everything. Although, even then I was able to call in and let them know I wouldn't be able to make it...not sure what could happen where someone couldn't give a heads up nowadays.

A community coalition is calling upon Nebraska's governor and attorney general to reconsider a ruling by the Liquor Control Commission that allows flavored malt beverages – a.k.a. 'alcopops' — to be classified and taxed as beer rather than distilled spirits, the Omaha World-Herald reported Oct. 27.
In a press conference arranged by the prevention group Project Extra Mile, police and health officials joined community representatives in urging state leaders to tax alcopops at the higher rate assigned to distilled spirits as a way to discourage underage drinking. "Governor, now would be a great time to show Nebraska youth and their parents that you truly care about their health and safety," said T.J. Ewin, an Omaha high-school senior.
The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission voted in October to continue to classify alcopops as beer.
Project Extra Mile's executive director, Diane Riibe, said that Gov. Dave Heineman and Attorney General Jon Bruning should reverse the liquor panel's decision. Riibe said the commission's ruling was in conflict with state law that defines spirits as "any beverage which contains alcohol obtained by distillation, mixed with water or other substance in solution."
The liquor board had criticized Riibe for suggesting that members were insensitive to underage drinking problems in the state. However, Tim Regler, a community organizer with Parents and Communities Together, said the panel was contributing to an environment that views youth drinking as acceptable.
Hobert Rupe, executive director of the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission, said the classification approved by the commission will be sent to Bruning for verification. The governor has the final word on the ruling.

Women's Nike Solarsoft II Print Flip-Flop Sandals
Summer is right around the corner, and you know what that means: flip flop season. This year, get a durable pair of flip flops that are built to last instead of the pair that wears out after a few weeks.
The soft rubber upper allows for a comfortable fit that will leave feet as exposed as they can, while the grooves at the midsole provide traction and will allow excess moisture from the pool and the bottom of feet to easily escape.
Last but not least, the firm Solarsoft foam at the outsole provides a forgiving and durable bottom that feels great with every step.

No problem! I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to respond, I rarely have notifications so I just don't think to look up there. Silly me!
We rocked him to sleep for probably his first year of life. We are cosleepers/bedsharers with both of our boys and only last May transitioned them into their own room/beds. It has been a process, but my oldest (5.5) has been doing great with sleeping in his own bed for about 6 months now and has been pretty much staying his own bed throughout the night for the last 6 weeks or so.
I don't regret our methods at all, now that we're out on the other side and know that obviously they can/will learn to sleep independently.
It sounds like you've got a good thing going on if you can rock her and she quickly falls asleep and you can transfer her without waking her. I wouldn't mess up a good thing unless you did mind the process.
Hi there!!!! I hope you don't mind me messaging you? How long did you rock your son? My daughter still asks to be rocked sometimes before bed. She's four so I know I need to totally stop but I really don't mind especially since she falls asleep in 5 seconds.

Memphis Music Attraction Discount Pass
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Memphis Music Attraction Discount Pass. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This tour was amazing!
The four music venues that we went to were fantastic. We had a great tour at Sun Studio and Graceland was very much a "moment in time'. Rock and Soul was very interesting and self guided and Stax Record was especially worthwhile. Music aficionados must do these monuments to great music makers.
I enjoyed the entire experience! It was nice to walk right up with my voucher - no hassles and I already knew what I was spending. I enjoyed the full "Elvis experience" at Graceland - one did feel a bit "herded" through the house because it is a bit small and they need to keep visitors moving. I liked the audio tour that accompanied me. The memorabilia, cars and other exhibits made for a nice half-day tour. Parking at Graceland $10. The Stax Museum was lovely - a little treasure of racial harmony and history. I really enjoyed everything that the museum and foundation are accomplishing. It brought back a lot of memories of my youth. Parking -free. The Sun Studios tour was my favorite due to the enthusiasm of our tour guide and my new friends from Australia! The depth of musical history made in that recording studio (and it continues today) gives one goosebumps. I found free parking on the street. The Rock and Soul Museum provides a nice overview of the musical roots that have come together in Memphis. Again, the audio tour allows one to enjoy the museum at your own pace, focusing on your areas of interest. Paid for parking in downtown Memphis. The "courtesy" shuttle was was not running during my visit in June. As I had rented a car, this wasn't too much of a problem. However, my Australian friends got jammed. Have the name and number of a cab company handy "just in case." Overall, my visit to Memphis was wonderful!
The Sun Studio tour was fantastic 10 out of 10 .Nina who took the tour was wonderful. No one must miss this tour. Gracelands tickets were V.I.P so we were treated like royalty, even had our own 60th anniversary exhibition that only VIP's could go into. This Memphis Music attraction tickets were so worth it. Just rang the lady in their office when we got there and they faxed them to our hotel. Great Stuff.
The music attraction pass is an absolutely essential part of your Memphis itinerary if you are a lover of musical heritage and is crucially very good value for money. The added bonus is the shuttle service between the various attractions particularly relevant to Graceland which is slightly out of town
We loved all the venues and found people very helpful in giving extra information; they were often volunteers with a love of the music and history of the area.
Really good value, faxed tickets quickly to the hotel, great fun
The passes were good value for money.At each venue the staff were very cooperative and helpful.The passes were easy to use and accepted without any queries at the 4 places we went to.
brilliant.. worth every penny!
Great way to see the major attractions for a reasonable price. Really easy to use. Thanks!
A perfect group of selections for music lovers!! Loved the free shuttle from downtown Rock 'N Soul museum to Graceland, then to Sun Studio, and finally back to Rock 'N Soul. We were able to complete tours at all three in a single day. A not too expensive cab ride ($10-15) from downtown to Stax was well worth the extra expense. Not to be missed!
FANTASTIC ! A must for Rock 'n' Roll, Soul and R and B music fans. This tour exceeded our expectations and was one of our most memorable tours ever. Our special thanks goes to Ms. Ecstasy Williams, one of the ladies who worked at the information desk at Graceland on the day of our tour, Sunday, Oct 20th. She enabled us to be admitted to Graceland, Stax Museum and Sun Studio because we unable to exchange our pre-paid Viator voucher for the Memphis Music Attraction Pass as Sweet Magnolia Tours was closed Saturdays and Sundays. Thank you Ecstasy.
Graceland was undeniably fantastic. We were impressed by the vast display of Elvis' Gold and Platinum Records and other memorabilia. There'll never be another Elvis - he was unique.
Stax Museum was equally great. We had no idea that so much of today's "classic" soul albums were recorded there. Truly monumental.
Sun Studio was a big surprise and just simply awesome. Here we were standing on the second floor of a tiny brick building on 706 Union St on "sacred ground" where Rock 'n' Roll was born ! We appreciated the young tour guide who was very motivated and re-told a vivid account of the history that was made there - his hand-out at the end of the tour pretty much sums up the importance of this place. The Sun Record Company "Greatest Hits" CD that we bought there is a cherished souvenir.
We were so engrossed with the first three tours that we arrived at the Rock 'n' Soul Museum too late to start this tour. That'll be for the next trip to Memphis. Thanks again Viator for these outstanding attractions in Memphis, a real highlight of our visit of the South.
Lorraine H
It was great to see all the attractions. The contact person faxed the documents right to my hotel although I had forgot to phone 24 hours in advance. Don't forget the Lorraine Motel for the museum there and Don't miss the ducks at the Peabody.
Good deal, we saw what we wanted to without problem. Catch the free bus provided by Sun Studio, but start early otherwise you'll wait in line for ages.

One person died and two others were airlifted to an area hospital following a wrong-way head-on crash near Gaston Thursday night.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the collision happened just before 9 p.m. on U.S. 321 near Woodcote Drive.
A quiet night for Joseph Trzaska was interrupted by a loud explosion.
"I come running outside, and I seen flames, and I immediately ran over there," he said.
Two cars collided head-on near his front yard.
"The adrenaline definitely kicks in," he said. "You're trying to tell everybody to get away. You're trying to get some people -- the people that are, you know, willing to help or some people that actually can help."
Troopers say 52-year-old James Binks was driving a Buick on the wrong side of U.S. 321.
They say he ultimately crashed and died when his vehicle struck another car.
After the crash, the Buick caught fire.
"Everybody's trying to go over there and pull him out, and his whole arm is on fire," Trzaska said. "You can't even see him anymore. You just tell everybody to back up, you know. There's nothing we can do."
Instead, Trzaska and other bystanders went over to the vehicle and helped rescue the driver and passenger as their car started catching fire too.
"You know, hey look! You just gotta stay calm," he said. "I know it hurts. Just keep breathing. We can't give you any liquids or anything like that. Just keep breathing. They'll be hear in a minute."
When first responders got there, they flew the survivors to the hospital and found Binks dead.
Troopers say this stretch of road is a dangerous one and Trzaska agrees.
"I mean, I've got four kids here, and you know, it's crazy," he said. "Some of these people fly down here 80, 90, or 100 miles an hour, and the speed limit's 55."
He wants more speeding tickets and more speed limit signs too.
"I mean, there's not even a speed limit sign out here, because when it snowed, it got taken out," he said.
Troopers say the coroner's office will determine if Binks was impaired at the time of the crash.
As for the two survivors, we know one is in fair condition. We still haven't heard about the second victim.
Troopers say both were wearing seatbelts.
LCpl. David Jones says because of the fire, the cause of the crash is not evident. Investigators are awaiting a toxicology report for Binks.
The Highway Patrol continues to investigate.

Helping all the scallywags on Starz' new pirate drama, Black Sails, deal with their lousy lives is Max, a prostitute played by Jessica Parker Kennedy. Come ashore and meet the Charlie Hunnam-obsessed Canadian cutie.
Are pirates sexy?
Well, the ones Max has to deal with are filthy. So in that respect, do I think they're sexy? No. Do I think the pirates on our show are sexy? Yes. Every woman is going to have her favorite.
What do you like in a guy?
He doesn't have to be Mr. Funny all the time, but there's got to be silliness.
Do you have any celebrity crushes?
Charlie Hunnam from Sons of Anarchy. I've said it way too many times now! He probably thinks, I hope I never meet this Jessica Parker Kennedy girl, because all she does is talk about me.

Defrost Function and Quick Start
Defrosting of frozen food is accelerated by means of fan driven air circulation
The advantage of defrosting at room temperature is that it does not alter the taste and appearance of the food
Convection Oven
This provides a more even heat than a conventional oven and food is "sealed" very quickly
Preheating is generally unnecessary
As there is no top or bottom heat the whole area of the oven can be utilized
This setting is ideal for batch baking or cooking a complete meal
Convection Bake
A fast intensive form of cooking, suitable for a variety of dishes
It replaces the spit and can be used for baked fish, braised vegetables, kebabs, roast chicken, duck etc.
Convection Broil
An energy-saving method for deep cooking
Suitable for chops, sausages, kebabs etc.
Suitable for roast meats in general e.g. fillet steak, grilled fish and vegetables
And also for cooking "au gratin" e.g. cauliflower cheese
Upper Element
Especially suitable for browning and to add the finishing touches of colour to different dishes
We suggest this setting when browning lasagna, melting cheese toppings etc.
Lower Element
As the heat comes from the lower element, this setting is particularly suitable for pastry and cakes e.g. flans, pizzas, biscuits, fruit cakes etc.
This operates like a conventional electric oven and can be used accordingly
Suitable for pork, chops, sausage, game, roast veal, meringues and biscuits, baked fruit, etc.
Heat-Insulated Door
3 special glasses keep the heat inside the oven allowing the temperature on the outer glass to remain low
Internal glasses and door can be easily removed for cleaning
It is obtained through the use of high-density glass-wool panels
All this has been studied to guarantee uniformity of temperature and energy saving
Class A for performance and consumption (according to European standards)
The design solutions that characterize the ovens are now extended to the whole range
This is demonstrated by the Energy Label, the European standard introduced in January 2003, which classifies ovens according to their energy consumption
Electronic Ignition included in the knobs
Just press a knob and the burner will light up
Semi Sealed Brass Burners
Semi Sealed Burners allow for precise gas adjustment during installation while keeping spilled foods where they belong... on the cook top for easy cleaning.
Multi-Gas Burners
With stabilized flame, they eliminated eventual flame extinctions due to draught or liquid overflow
Enameled grilles
Includes 1 triple ring burner, 2 big burners and 2 small burners
Enameled removable burner caps for easy cleaning
Sturdy cast iron grates
Flame Failure Safety Device
All gas burners are equipped with a Flame Failure Safety Device. If the flame is extinguished, the gas supply will turn off automatically.
Warming Drawer
Ideal for warming plates when the oven is in use
Detail of the Rounded Top
Besides giving a pleasant new appearance, it compensates the difference in depth between the kitchen units and the cooker, thus avoiding an impact between the two depths
The following accessories must be installed at the factory. They cannot be ordered later.
