Resident assistants. So you've seen them around campus and you admire how much they help out their fellow students. You've seen how much everybody loves them and what a positive impact they have on your university. Are you thinking of becoming a resident assistant yourself? As a new RA, I honestly expected it to be a lot less challenging than it has already proven to be but rather than explaining every last detail, I can tell you that there are some major dos and don'ts for the job:
Most importantly, you should never get involved in something simply for the popularity aspect. If being an RA sounds like something you would be really dedicated to, go for it! It may be a lot of work but if you enjoy helping people, you will probably have a lot of fun being a resident assistant at your university!
Melissa Garrett is a sophomore at Chatham University majoring in creative writing with minors in music and business. She works as a resident assistant and is currently in the process of self-publishing several of her books. She also serves as the president of Chatham's LGBT organization and enjoys political activism. Melissa's ultimate goal is to become a college professor herself.

I started looking for colleges in my junior year of high school because I was so unsure about what I wanted. Deciding on a college was a scary thought to me because I was under the impression that I was going to be stuck at whichever school I chose for four whole years. So to ease my ever-increasing stress levels, I visited my dream school (MCLA) almost seven times before accepting to attend for the fall of 2011.
I jumped at every opportunity to get to know my top choice better and better: I visited on long weekends with my parents, signed up for multicultural nights and participated in overnight programs bussed from Boston. I took the drive to MCLA whenever I needed to talk to the Bursar about bills or the financial aid office about student loans. Though it was a long ride, I got on a first-name basis with the librarian and a handful of school officials, putting faces to names and breaking down that wall between being strangers and being acquaintances.
I took the time to really determine whether I wanted to spend the next four years at MCLA. Though my parents researched facts online and talked on the phone with MCLA officials, I made sure to do my own research as well. The bottom line was that I was attending MCLA, not my parents, so I made sure everyone I encountered at the school I spoke to knew me and not just the me my parents spoke about.
I knew I wanted to attend MCLA after my first visit but I'm glad I took the time to get to know the institution a little bit better. It made me feel more prepared for my first semester of freshman year but even if you visit 100 times, you might not know if your school is the one for you until you immerse yourself in the community. If for whatever reason you don't feel it's right, don't panic: You can always transfer. Deciding on a college isn't the end all be all – there's always room for change – but you just have to find what's right for you.
Abby Egan is currently a junior at MCLA in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, where she is an English Communications major with a concentration in writing and a minor in philosophy. Abby hopes to find work at a publishing company after college and someday publish some of her own work. In her spare time, Abby likes to drink copious amounts of coffee, spend all her money on adorable shoes and blog into the wee hours of the night.

If you've been in any career development class or seminar, I'm sure you've heard of LinkedIn. It's a fantastic networking tool and, if used properly, can lead to some pretty great opportunities...but you've got to know how to use it and keep it up to date.
What's incredible about LinkedIn is that they know you already have a billion social media sites to keep up with so they give you a quick way to get started on their site by providing options to import contacts from email and social media. You can also import your resume: The site does a fairly good job of sectioning off your resume to fit its profile layout, which is a quick way to establish your presence on the site. (LinkedIn also judges the amount of info you have and advises you on how to have a more 'complete' profile.)
Of course, there's still work that will need to be done and information to be added and changed but that's all easy to do in your own time. If you have an update to your resume, just change your resume on file and LinkedIn will do the rest with another quick upload. (It's not that hard to just add things directly to your profile, either.) The more information you add to your LinkedIn profile, the more marketable you are to future employers.
Also, keep your LinkedIn page classy! Do you have a goofy picture everybody just HAS to see? That's fine...just don't post it here. LinkedIn is a social media platform but approaching it like any other (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) would be a grave mistake. Nothing says "I don't take this seriously" like an unprofessional profile photo.
My final bit of LinkedIn profile advice? Keep it current, keep it interesting, make sure the information is accurate and join groups of similar individuals in your fields of interest to make sure your name is out there in the best light. Get a new job? Update your profile just like you would your resume and your profile will reach new people – employers use LinkedIn for recruiting and you could be exactly what someone is looking for. Gotta love technology!

College libraries are often misunderstood and get very little spotlight in the student world. Many students miss the fact that the college library isn't just a place to study – it's also a place to learn. Here's how to get to know your school's library.
You'll never be a stranger to computers, copiers and printers in college but it's important to know how to use the technology in public spaces like the library accordingly. For instance, if you have homework to print out, do so to your discretion because it's likely other students will be waiting to complete the same task on the same equipment.
Next, there are the reference areas. They normally house dictionaries, encyclopedias and academic journals that require special consideration and care because of their age and value. Depending on your school's library policies, it's likely that reference books can NEVER leave the building so if you know you are going to need one for an essay or project, plan accordingly.
Knowing where different books are at can speed up the research process when completing homework and writing papers. Most libraries have maps that highlight certain sections but if yours doesn't, there should be a chart containing call numbers for different subjects. Still unsure where something is? Ask a librarian – they're there to help!
Finally, the most important thing to do at your school library is to pick up a book and read. Fiction, non-fiction or whatever interests you...just read, Read, READ! Though you may regularly read in your dorm room, doing so in a comfy chair in the library is a nice change of pace. Take the opportunity to visit your school library and check it out for yourself!

It's agonizing to suddenly relinquish a free and easy summer schedule to the clutches of the college schedule...but what happens when your weeks in school are just as free they are over break?
You may end up with a situation a lot of college students dream of: a surplus of free time. This happened to me during my freshman year, as I had a pretty open class schedule, a weekends-only job and didn't join any clubs. I ended up bored to death nearly every day! But I didn't realize that the extra time was an advantage that not only gave me a chance for homework but time to focus on personal goals. If you find yourself in this situation, here are a few tips as to how to best spend your time:
However you choose to spend your extra time, make sure you enjoy yourself. Having time to yourself while in college is a rarity and you may not have such an opportunity in later semesters. College is about exploring and learning...not being bored because there's nothing to do. So get out there and make use of your time – you won't regret it!
Mary Steffenhagen is a junior at Concordia University of Wisconsin who is majoring in English with a minor in business. She hopes to break into the publishing field after graduation, writing and editing to promote the spread of reliable information and quality literature; she is driven to use her skills to make a positive impact wherever she is placed. Mary spends much of her time making and drinking coffee, biking and reading dusty old books. In an alternate universe, she would be a glassblower.

Can you plan a San Francisco Opera season?
That was the question posed to participants in our Overture Workshop on March 11, "Behind the Curtain: Planning a San Francisco Opera Season." After a lively discussion with Kip Cranna, Director of Musical Administration and Jen Good, Associate Director of Production and Head of Staging, we passed the baton to the audience: it was their turn to decide which operas would comprise a season.

|Event Summary:
The Mexican aviation industry is recovering from adverse conditions over the past few years, including the effects of high international oil prices, excess seat offerings of several low-cost carriers, and the de-facto bankruptcy of the second largest airline Mexicana de Aviación. In 2012, the aviation sector registered positive growth with an increase in the number of passengers transported: domestic services advanced 10.3% and international services 7%. Air transportation continues to be a high demand sector and has matured to where there are now only a few low-cost carriers and one domestic leading airline, all improving coverage/routes, frequencies, prices, and services to passengers.
In the National Program for Investments for Communications and Transportation Infrastructure, the Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SCT) will be developing modernization programs for seven airports: Hermosillo, Nuevo Laredo, Toluca and Puerto Vallarta, among others. This webinar will address the general characteristics of these projects and will explain how public-private partnership schemes will support the development of a more efficient connectivity systems for the Mexican airport network.

Educational Philosophy: The facilitator's educational philosophy is one of interactiveness via the internet based on lectures, readings, quizzes, written asyncronous discussion (dialogue), examinations, websites and writings. The facilitator will engage learners each week in what is referred to as disputatious learning to encourage the exploration of ideas, issues and contradictions.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
For this course, the core assessment is a Comprehensive Final Examination to be administered in all sections of MG 261. This exam is worth at least 30 percent of the student's final grade and will test students' mastery of the Core Learning Outcomes (as listed on this syllabus) through definitions, essay, and/or multiple choice questions.
This core assessment is a CLOSED BOOK, CLOSED NOTES comprehensive examination that must be administered and proctored in the classroom and is not to be given as a take-home examination. Students should not have access to the exam or its questions before it is administered. The duration of the exam can be no longer than two hours.
No computers, or materials other than a writing instrument and a calculator without text functions and communication may be used for the exam; this applies to all students, regardless of whether the exam is for on-line or face-to-face students. Completion of the exam is strictly individual; students may not work in groups to complete the exam.
Link to Class RubricClass Assessment: Weekly asyncronous written discussion with peer reviews, case studies, an assigned written research project on a business law related topic for (a.k.a. term paper), testing
Grading: My goal is to give you prompt, clear, and useful feedback to help you learn about business law. Each student is responsible for:

A message from the Park Management Department: "The comprehensive final is not a take-home test. The comprehensive final is a closed book and closed notes exam."
**Note: The final exam is the core assessment.
Course Grading Scale
A = 90- 100% (or 270 points or higher)
B =80-89% (or 240 to 269 points)
C = 70-79% (or 210 to 239 points)
D = 60-69% (or 180 to 209 points)
F = < 60% (177 or fewer points)
The course grade for students will be based on the overall average of homework and tests taken during the course in accordance with the weighting of the various requirements as stated in the syllabus.
All final exams in all School of Business and Management courses will be comprehensive and will be closed book and closed notes. They will constitute 30% of the total course grade and will not be a take-home exam. They will be completed during the test week in the period designated by the registrar or by the Proctor in the case online courses. If calculators are allowed, they will not be multifunctional electronic devices that include features such as: phones, cameras, instant messaging, pagers, and so forth. Electronic Computers will not be allowed on final exams unless an exception is made by the Dean of the School of Business and Management.
Mid-Term: You must contact me to open the Mid-Term for you if you are late as it will close at midnight in the Mountain Time Zone. What is late? 12:01 in the Mountain Time Zone on Sunday night of week 4 is considered too late to take the exam. You can only take the Mid-Term late with my permission. Without an excuse that I approve of (hospitalization, for example), you will receive no higher than a C if you take it 1 day late and no higher than 50% if you take it 2 days late. You cannot take the Mid-Term late after Tuesday of Week 5 unless you have an excuse.
Final Exam: You can't take the Final Exam late without instructor permission. I rarely give permission to take it late. However, hospitalization or deployment to Iraq during exam week are excellent reasons to take the final late. Taking the final late could result in a grade of incomplete for the class. IF YOU DO NOT TAKE THE FINAL, YOU FAIL THE COURSE according to Park policy even if you have a D going into the final.
Paper: If work is due at midnight, then 12:01 is late. Late work will receive no higher than a C for 1 day late, no higher than 50% for 2 days late, and a 0 for anything after 2days.
Discussion and Case Studies: If work is due at midnight, then 12:01 is late. After 12:00, late work will receive no higher than a C. I will grade it Monday morning. After I grade it, no late work will be graded.
Note: When an assignment is due at 12:00, 12:01 is late. Extensions are available for very extenuating circumstances. (If you are hospitalized or are deploying to Iraq and will not be near a computer for the entire week).

it's marvelous, it feels super comfortable
This bra really gives you the support you need. Its great for everyday use and it also makes you feel sexy and secure.
This push-up bra guarantees a perfect lift and shape. It's stay-put grip lining along wings and side boning for excellent support while wearing strapless.
This is the BEST bra I have ever bought. I have one breast a cup larger than other and this bra has been able to accommodate that problem. I have bought more expensive bras with terrible results. They also give good wear for there money. I bought a white, tan and black one 2 years ago. I am replacing the white and tan as they are curving a little at the top. I wear them often. The black is still in good condition. I wash them in the washing machine but never put in dryer.

For me, it's the best strapless bra that exists, I can wear it different ways and it's very comfortable. I would like for it to come in more colors & different prints.
I am an expert at buying bras, I try out new one but always come back to this bra.It's the best strapless, it doesn't move or go down in the back and pushes-up very well.

Paul Costelloe Spring/Summer 2012
Credit: catwalking.com
This is definitely exquisite 'tailoring with oomph'. Paul Costelloe says the inspiration for his spring/summer 2012 collection is comes from the 1962 Hollywood classic Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? That may very well be, but we can't help to think of the dapper Mad Men and Michael Caine in 70′s film Get Carter.

Fix bug reported by Drew McDermott, cmucl-help, 2005/12/07. (defun spunk (a b) (let (k m p q) (multiple-value-setq (k m p q) (the (values t t t t) (punk a b))))) Remove the assertion that the values type must have no required args and adjust maybe-negate-check appropriately. (This last from Alexey Dejneka.)
Fix problems with THE detected by Paul Dietz' tests. This also fixes the problem that CMUCL generated RETURN-MULTIPLE without a good reason. * src/compiler/checkgen.lisp (values-types-asserted): Use coerce-to-values again. Add fixme comments and #+nil code for known problems; these aren't new problem, though. * src/code/type.lisp (coerce-to-values): Don't add &rest t, which is the business of THE. (values) <type translator>: Disallow &key and &allow-other-keys. * src/compiler/ir1tran.lisp (the) <IR1 translator>: Add &rest t where appropriate, or-in null type into required types, for missing values.
Fix for various ANSI test cases that fail when compiled because argument type checks are constant-folded away. * src/compiler/ir1opt.lisp (constant-fold-call): In safe code, don't constant-fold a call if one of its arguments requires a type check. * src/compiler/checkgen.lisp (probable-type-check-p): Return true for :error type-checks if safety = 3. Fix ENDP.* test failures when running tests compiled. From SBCL, basically. * src/compiler/ir1opt.lisp (ir1-optimize, ir1-optimize-if): Don't eliminate if-tests requiring type checks. * src/compiler/checkgen.lisp (continuation-check-types): Add parameter force-hairy. (generate-type-checks): Call continuation-check-types with force-hairy true for :error continuations in safe code.
The SEQUENCE-COUNT type was previously used in c:fndb, but since C::SEQUENCE-COUNT /= KERNEL::SEQUENCE-COUNT, it was an unknown type. Please read boot4.lisp. * src/code/exports.lisp ("KERNEL"): Export sequence-count. * src-types/bootfiles/18e/boot4.lisp: New file. Make compute-effective-slot-definition AMOP compliant. Patch from Kevin Rosenberg. * src/pcl/std-class.lisp (compute-slots): Pass slot name to compute-effective-slot-definition. (compute-slots): Likewise. (compute-effective-slot-definition): Add parameter slot-name. * src/pcl/generic-functions.lisp (compute-effective-slot-definition): Add second parameter slot-name. Allow non-keyword keyword names in lambda lists. This fixes test cases STRUCTURE-BOA-TEST-15/[1-8], and FLET.30. * src/compiler/node.lisp (arg-info): Accept non-keyword keyword names. * src/code/type.lisp (key-info): Likewise. Fix type system bugs detected by Paul Dietz' test suite This is to a large extent a port from SBCL. * src/code/type.lisp: Mostly rewritten with code ported from SBCL. * src/compiler/typetran.lisp (ir1-transform-type-predicate): Return nil if type is *empty-type*. (source-transform-negation-typep) (source-transform-intersection-typep): New functions. (source-transform-array-typep): Handle unknown array element types. (typep): Add handling of negation and intersection types. * src/compiler/srctran.lisp (make-canonical-union-type): Simplify, now that #'type-union is smarter. (ir1-transform-<-helper): Give up on non-numeric, non-member types. * src/compiler/checkgen.lisp (type-test-cost): Add a case for intersection-type. (values-types-asserted): Don't use coerce-to-values, see the comment there. * src/compiler/array-tran.lisp (array-dimension): Accept :maybe as array-type-complexp. * src/code/pred.lisp (%%typep): Add handling of negation-types and intersection-types. Change cases of hairy-types, union-types, and arrays with unknown element type. * src/code/exports.lisp ("KERNEL"): Export negation-type, negation-type-type, intersection-type, intersection-type-types. * src/code/class.lisp (sealed-class-intersection): Return one value. (class :simple-intersection): Return one value, return nil in the default case. (class :complex-subtypep-arg2): New type method.
Enhancement to continuation-check-types: even when the proven type represents an unknown number of values, if Cont's destination receives only a single value, generate a :hairy type check for the single-values-type of the asserted type.
Reworking of the values-type system to overcome a number of inconsistencies causing problems: o Redefine coerce-to-values to convert a single value type into (values type), rather than the former definition (values type &rest t). A single value type such as fixnum is now equivalent to (values fixnum). Values-type-union and values-type-intersection will canonicalise values types with a single value such as (values fixnum) back to a single value type such as fixnum. o Now when the compiler makes assertions for the first value of continuations that may be generating multiple values it asserts the type as (values type &rest t), or as (value &optional type &rest t) if it is not sure that the continuation does generate a value. o Enhance the type check generation to better handle the now common values types with optional and rest arguments. Add the new function Values-types-asserted which converts asserted optional and rest arguments to required arguments that have been proven to be delivered, Thus an assertion such as (values &optional fixnum &rest t) will generate a fixnum type check if the proven type if (values t). o The compiler is now far more likely to pickup attempts to use an assertion to select a subset of values. For example (the (values fixnum) (values x y)) will generated a compiler warning. o Update single values type assertions where appropriate to clarify that the received values may be optional or that multiple values may be received. For example, a macro argument which had been asserted to be a list via (the list ,...) would now be asserted to be (the (values &optional list &rest t)) etc. o Have the IR1 translator for THE convert single value types into (values &optional type &rest t) so that code such as (the fixnum (values x y)) will still work acceptably. This does not restrict the possible type assertions as the values types may be used and are not modified.
o Recheck the asserted against the proven type for each type in a values-type, because the continuation is flagged for a type check if any of the types needs to be checked and some may not need checking. o Split the function no-function-values-types out into a call to values-type followed by the new function no-function-types as this later functionality is useful on its own.
Implement a specializing CONS class as per issue CONS-TYPE-SPECIFIER:ADD. The new cons-type which maintains the specialised CAR and CDR types: o Typep recurses, checking the respective car and cdr specialisations; two cons-types are type= if both their car and cdr types are type=. o Subtypep recurses, applying subtypep to the respective car and cdr types. If both sub-tests return true then the cons test returns true with a win only when both sub-tests win. If either sub-test returns false then the cons tests returns false with a win if either of sub-tests win. o Type-intersection is applied to the respective car and cdr types, and wins if both win. o The type-union of two cons-types handles cases for which either the respective car or cdr types are type=, in which case type-union is applied to the other type. This avoid returning an overly general result. o Ctype-of a cons object simply returns (cons * *); and does not attempt to recurse. o The compiler recursively checks the specialised type of the cons-type, which allows it to also use this type information to derive the result type car and cdr. Inline code is currently only generated when natively compiling.
Fix doc. typos "the the" -> "the".
Delay the generation of the type checks delayed until all the type check decisions have been made because the generation of the type checks creates new nodes who's derived types aren't always updated which may lead to inappropriate template choices due to the modification of argument types.
Fix headed boilerplate.
Fix compiler warnings.
Changed erroneous calls to be :ERROR kind, not :FULL
If *byte-compiling*, only do compile-type type error checking. No check conversion is done, since this violates stack discipline. All type checks are done on the fly during byte conversion.
Don't call CONTINUATION-CHECK-TYPES if PROBABLE-TYPE-CHECK-P returns NIL. This lets type checking assume that the continuation does have a DEST, and also avoids some unnecessary work.
Moved *type-predicate* and *predicate-type* into the backend structure.
Added a switch the disable the complementing optimization of type checks (for testing its effectiveness.)
New file header with RCS stuff.
Changed MAYBE-NEGATE-CHECK to allow weakened checks to be simple when debug-info is not important, so that we can use CHECK-STRUCTURE, etc. Changed TYPE-TEST-COST to penalize predicates as opposed to check templates so that we will use a check template in favor of a "same cost" predicate.
Pass *backend* to sc-or-lose and friends to assure we extract the info from the correct backend for runtime.
Changed DO-TYPE-WARNING to ignore uses whose type is NIL, and also tweaked output format a bit.
Force type check conversion of continuations that may be forced to unknown values even though they are really fixed-values (and people might be depending on the check, like non-local RETURN-FROM.) Don't do an inline type check for the argument of a full call, even when we are "sure" that there is an error, since the user might want to fix the problem by redefining the callee, and not by changing the caller (or callers.) Spiffed up type error warnings to use the variable we are binding to as context when doing a local call. Also, instead of saying we "got NIL", we say we got an expression that didn't return. Changed type error checking to consistently flame about all losing uses of a continuation, instead of maybe only flaming about the first one, or even totally missing it if the first use we see is non-erroneous but hairy. Also, don't do type warnings on continuations with :DELETE TYPE-CHECK, since those are the result of hairy type checks.
Fixed GENERATE-TYPE-CHECKS to always give a warning when any use of the continuation is incorrect, instead of only warning when the first use happened to be incorrect.
Flushed cleanup hackery, since the lexenv changes make this unnecessary.
Added use of *unparse-function-type-simplify* to prevent complex function types from being checked, even when they are buried in other types (like OR.)
Added NO-FUNCTION-VALUES-TYPES and made people use it so that they aren't confused by complex function types.
Changed MAYBE-WEAKEN-CHECK to accept a type if there is a predicate for that exact type, rather than possibly blowing off the check entirely.
Oops... We can't negate a check and weaken it too. Choose whichever is cheaper.
Changed PROBABLE-TYPE-CHECK-P to return T when we are unable to determine when VALID-FUNCTION-USE is unable to determine the whether the template applies. If the VOP operand is unrestrictive, but we know it is of an unknown type, then the type-operation will fail but the template can still be selected, since PRIMITIVE-TYPE isn't fooled.
Changed type check weakening not to choose supertypes that are union types (i.e. COMMON). Also, we don't preserve the original check just because there was some supertype predicate.
Type warnings only inhibited when brevity = 3.
Added type check weakening (conditional on policy), and made type checks be totally flushed only when safety = 0. Also, when printing a type warning, check to see if the losing value is a constant, and if so, print it instead of its type.
Added code to make known calls unknown if there is an argument with a type error.

Popular vote 2012, Election 2012, voting results: American Crossroads defends campaign spending
(CNN) -- Officials from the Republican super PAC American Crossroads, including its co-founder Karl Rove, defended their campaign spending and talked about the group's future during a conference call Thursday with 50 of its top donors.
Participants agreed they would not discuss the contents of the call with the media.
American Crossroads and its affiliate, Crossroads GPS, aired tens of millions of dollars worth of television ads aimed at defeating President Barack Obama as well as wresting control of the Senate from Democrats by going after incumbents and challengers in key races.
The two groups exceeded their fund-raising goal of $300 million for this election cycle.
Among those on the call was broadcast executive Stanley Hubbard, who refused to discuss what was said during it except to say "it was very friendly. I didn't hear any negative feedback or comments."
The Sunlight Foundation, a non-profit organization which tracks the influence of money on politics and works to make government more transparent, released an analysis Thursday questioning the effectiveness of American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS this campaign.
Using available data, the Sunlight Foundation said of the $103.5 million American Crossroads spent in the general election, 1.29% of it ended in the desired result. None of the candidates American Crossroads supported won, and most of the candidates it opposed were victorious.
Crossroads GPS, which does not have to disclose its donors, spent $70 million during the general election with 14.4% of it having the result it wanted, according to Sunlight Foundation's analysis. None of the candidates GPS supported won.
Obama's defeat and the Republicans gaining control of the Senate were major aims for these groups and their contributors -- and neither one was accomplished.
Following Election Day, officials from Crossroads have worked to soothe the concerns of large and small donors through phone calls and other communications.
"Donors have questions globally about what worked and didn't, and while all are disappointed with Tuesday's results, most have expressed a strong interest in our continuity and support for new efforts in 2014," American Crossroads spokesman Jonathan Collegio told CNN.
Democrats, who at the start of the campaign were worried they would be far out-spent by Republican super PACs and other independent groups, have been eager to raise questions about their record following the election. For its part, Crossroads officials said they still had a major impact and kept Republicans competitive.
"Democrats leveraged their incumbency to dramatically out-raise and outspend their Republican opponents this cycle, and Republican outside groups balanced that spending out to keep this a two point race all the way to the end," Collegio said.
Rove also defended the super PACs' effectiveness. He pointed out in an interview with Fox News, where he is a political analyst, that American Crossroads was quicker to come to Mitt Romney's defense when the attacks on his business career first began.
"The first group to respond to the attacks on Bain, on Bain Capital, were not the Romney campaign. It was American Crossroads with an ad in July," Rove said.
One major Republican fund-raiser, who was not involved with the major super PACs and related groups involved in the presidential campaign this year, and who requested anonymity to speak freely, told CNN "you have to look at how effectively" the groups operated.
The fundraiser said if he were a donor to a Republican super PAC, "I'd question the return on their investment."
As to whether he thinks his donations were a waste, Stanley Hubbard told CNN "I think when you are helping in the democratic process it is never a waste."
With the election now over, American Crossroads is preparing to engage in the next battle to hit Washington: what to do about the fiscal cliff of major spending cuts and expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts that will hit at the end of the year unless there is action by Congress and the president.
Republican outside groups spent twice what Mitt Romney did on advertising in battleground states this campaign -- $411 million to $180 million.

In partnership with the independent education journal Catalyst Ohio (see here), we resolved to find out, and enlisted the expert help of the nonpartisan FDR Group (see here), a respected survey research firm led by veteran public opinion analysts Steve Farkas and Ann Duffett.

Kathryn Mullen Upton
Terry Ryan
The Thomas B. Fordham Foundation is pleased to share its latest annual Sponsorship Accountability Report, Two Steps Forward, One Step Back. The sixth of its kind, the report reflects on Ohio�۪s charter school policy environment and the performance of Fordham sponsored charter schools ��� in terms of absolute achievement, growth, and adherence to goals set forth in our authorizing contract ��� as well as developments in state law over the year. Despite some tough battles during the state budget as it relates to holding authorizers (and operators) accountable, overall Fordham and its schools had an encouraging year, with Fordham sponsored-charters making achievement gains and positioning themselves to do even better in the future.

Swatch & Art 2012 Fall Winter
Strap material
Case material
Water-resistance: 3 Bar
Case dimension
Ø: 41,00 mm
L: 9,85 mm
H: 47,40 mm
Product Description
Emmanuelle Antille explains her design inspirations:
"As an artist, I found the project of creating a Swatch watch very interesting: how to think about an everyday object, a simple and functional object that is a part of people's everyday life, an object of desire for a brand that is very close to its public, and very iconic. All these thoughts were absolutely new to me and to my artistic work. From a series of photographs that I made around the sub-ject of tattoos and the Family Leu - an illustrious family of tattoo artists - I chose here to continue this work for Swatch and use patterns, tattooed by Filip Leu, and to work with the watch as a skin substitute, a removable graft, a strange decoration or a trophy."

Artist Biography
Emmanuelle Antille
Emmanuelle Antille was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1972. Between 1991 and 1996, she attended the Ecole Supérieure d´Art Visuel, in Geneva, before undertaking postgraduate studies between 1997 and 1998 at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, in Amsterdam. Her work is always compelling and beautifully considered, cutting across the mediums of photography, film, video, sound, installation, as well as music, to portray and explore the intimate relationships and rituals occurring between teenagers, lovers, mothers and daughters, and the ways in which different groups of people interact with their communities. Antille has garnered significant critical acclaim for her creative endeavours, gaining various official awards from prestigious cultural institutions around the world. The artist memorably represented her native Switzerland at the Venice Biennale, in 2003, and has exhibited her work extensively, both in solo and group shows, at many noted galleries, museums and festivals in varied locations including Berlin, Reykjavik, Tokyo, Zurich, Chicago, New York, L.A., Sarajevo, Rome, Moscow, Paris and Madrid.

by STEVEN ALAN
Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.Back To Product View All From This Designer
