Horrible First (and thankfully last) Experience – I cannot begin to describe how extremely unprofessional this place was during my first visit to the doctor. Where do I begin? I was a new patient going in merely to establish myself as a patient so I brought my forms that I had completed in the mail to my appointment. I arrived on time but waited over 45 minutes in the waiting room. I was then greeted by a unfriendly, stern nurse who I can only describe as having the dispostion of a curmudgeonly 85 year old man who hasn't had his supper. I hadn't eaten since my lunch that day (I had an evening appointment) and for some reason this nurse was highly offended by me intermittently eating Chex Mix in the patient room. (She rudely and very sarcastically asked if I needed a glass of water.) Eager to meet the actual doctor and see that woman leave, I waited 10 more minutes. Doctor Shinn seemed pleasant enough as she answered another female patient's myriad of ailments ranging from depression to ear pus to family problems. No you did not miss anything, I was, in fact, not completing my residency here but simply a first-time patient able to hear EVERYTHING the patient and the doctor were discussing in the next room. It was so painfully unprofessional, especially since they had a noise cancelling machine which wasn't turned on and when I did turn it on myself, did little to block the conversation. I waited 5 more minutes until I came to the pinnacle of my exasperation and shock with the whole situation and finally told the front desk secretary I was leaving (she was the only one who was remotely pleasant). If you want to waste your time on a doctor who does not value privacy, does not have her employees practice the art of every day courtesy/friendliness, and does not consider the fact that your time even matters, then this place is your utopia! Oh yes and they had no problem still charging me the 20 dollar co-pay, even though I didn't see the doctor. So even though I never met Dr. Shinn, there is no way I can respect her since she works in this environment daily and does not attempt to rectify or fix these glaring issues. What a disaster!!!
Recommend Dr. Shinn – I have been seeing Dr. Shinn as a GP for approximately 3 years and my experience has been very positive. The Dr. takes all the time necessary to find out what is going in your life and takes the time to figure out what you need. I have a thyroid condition and the Dr. orders the correct tests, etc., and I have been very happy with the service.
Terrible service: you can do better – Dr. Godfrey is gone...too bad cause she was very good. Otherwise AVOID AVOID AVOID...staff is mean. They don't call back, the voicemail gets full and they YELL at you! Seriously! They asked ME what tests I wanted to figure out my symptoms...then yelled at me cause I didn't know! The doctor may be fine: I don't know cause I can't seem to get to talk to her but the staff will give you the runaround.
(PS. I'm a pharmacist so I know that there are better offices out there)

Double Dose Of Racing Action This Saturday At Heartland Park!
Zach Henery #97Z is one of the hottest drivers at HPT this season. Reed Bros. Racing Photos
Topeka, KS – Last Saturday night Mother Nature tortured the racers and fans at Heartland Park's Dirt Track for the 2nd time this season. The Casey's General Store Pure Stocks just finished their feature before Mother Nature opened up the skies and dropped rain all over the track. It was shaping up to be a great set of features.
Fans will not need to be upset for too long. This Saturday night's Super 8 at Forbes Landing Saturday Showdown will provide a double dose of racing action.
Saturday, July 13th, will welcome Bad Boy Bail Bonds Night at the races and the night will also contain the conclusion from the 4th Annual Steve Bowers Sr. Memorial Race. A whole lot of action rolled up into one show. The fans could not ask for anything more.
Byron Glotzbach was the only driver last week to enter victory lane by winning the Casey's General Store Pure Stock main event. Glotzbach not only picked up the win but he also took over the points lead in the division. The Pure Stock division is becoming a popular with the fans of the Super 8 at Forbes Landing Saturday Showdown. Drivers are starting to get some heated rivalries and it's providing more excitement in the class. This Saturday night's feature should be interesting.
Before the rain came pouring down, Washburn Tech Modified points leader, Darron Fuqua, went from worst to 1st in his heat race. A child in the crowd pulled out a number 2 ball that would put Fuqua on the front row for the $1,000 to win feature for Saturday night. Will Fuqua get the job done for his 8th win of the season? Will someone else sneak up and take the big money? These are all questions that will be answered early. Whatever happens in the early feature could dictate what will go on in the night cap.
The White Line Training CDL B Mod class seems to get stronger every week. New faces continue to show up and race. New drivers aren't just showing up and competing, they are running up at the front half of the field. This class has had the largest car counts of any class at HPT this season and their racing shows just how competitive B Mods are. Saturday night's double features could make or break someone's season.
One of the wildest divisions at HPT is the Ferrellgas Stock Cars. Zach Henery has the hot hand right now with 3 recent wins under his belt. It's possible that if Henery hadn't taken some time off early in the season, he just might be on top of the point standings. The wheel to wheel and door to door action keeps the fans glued to this classes every move. Car counts in the Stock Cars have been a little off this season but the racing action has been better than ever. Steve Herrick is still leading the points after a couple of tough races, this week he will look to rebound and try to slow down Henery's progress.
Saturday night the spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m., hot laps will start at 6:15 p.m. and the first race will go green at 7:00 p.m. The race lineup will have the 3 makeup features first, White Line CDL Training B Mods, Ferrellgas Stock Cars and Washburn Tech Modifieds. After the completion of the Modified main event the Super 8 at Forbes Landing Saturday Showdown Race #11 will begin.
Adult tickets are $12.00, kids 4 through 12 are $6.00 and children 3 and under are free at BriggsAuto.Com Speedway. Military personnel and veterans will be given free admission with proper identification. Discounted tickets can be purchased online at Heartland Park Topeka's home on the world wide web, www.hpt.com.
Heartland Park Topeka is a multipurpose racing facility that hosts a wide variety entertaining events featuring an NHRA Drag Racing National event. Heartland Park Topeka has also hosted the ADRL, Pinks All Out, World of Outlaws, USAC Sprint and Midgets, demolition derby's, monster truck shows, motorcycle racing, Jr. Dragsters, car shows, bracket racing, drifting, road racing, concerts, NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing event and much more.

The Epic and the Intimate: French Drawings from the John D. Reilly Collection
From its founding in 1648, the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture was the center of artistic activity in France. Through 60 drawings by artists such as Simon Vouet, Antoine Watteau, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, and Edgar Degas, this exhibition from the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, traces the formation, triumph, and reform of the Academy, leading to the École des Beaux-Arts as it is today. At the same time, the exhibition showcases the artistic process as guided by the Academy's principles, from the artist's first thoughts through compositional studies, figure drawings, and finished compositions.
Image credit: Charles de la Fosse, Sleeping Rinaldo, 1686, Black, red and white chalk on blue laid paper, 10.5 x 14.625 in. Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame, gift of Mr. John D. Reilly.

The University of North Georgia - Dahlonega Gampus - is a fully diversified university with a student body of more than 6,000 students. A unit of the University System of Georgia, North Georgia was founded in 1873 and holds distinction as a state leadership institution.
The historic town of Dahlonega, GA, has expanded dramatically in recent years to support the growth of the student body and faculty.
In January 2013, North Georgia College & State University merged with Gainesville State College to form the University of North Georgia. The result of this consolidation created a student population of 15,000 plus students across four campuses. These campuses are located in Dahlonega, Cumming, Gainesville and Watkinsville, GA. The role that the athletics program will play in unifying these four campuses will be pivotal to the success of the new institution, the University of North Georgia.
In 2007, after a two year process, North Georgia was accepted into NCAA Division II and joined the Peach Belt Conference (PBC). The PBC, among the elite conferences in all of Division II, consists of fourteen schools in the southeast and boasts 32 Division II national championships in the last 23 years.
In keeping with the PBC's winning tradition, in 2011-2012 the North Georgia women's soccer, women's softball and men's tennis teams competed in the NCAA regional tournaments and were all nationally ranked. And for the third-straight year, a North Georgia athlete was selected as a Division II National Player of the Year – women's basketball player, Jaymee Carnes. In addition North Georgia had over 100 athletes recognized on the Peach Belt Honor roll for GPA's at 3.0 or higher in 2011-2012. Fifteen of these students were also recognized as All Academic, with GPA's of 3.3 or higher while participating and contributing significantly in 50% or greater of their team's athletic competitions.
To enable our student-athletes and coaches to continue their ascent in both the classroom and as true challengers in the PBC, the University of North Georgia, in conjunction with the Athletic Department has launched the A Vision for Excellence plan. A Vision for Excellence is the largest plan ever at North Georgia to focus on athletic facility renovations and program endowments, providing our student-athletes and coaches with the resources necessary to be successful both academically and athletically on the field of competition.
The A Vision for Excellence plan focuses on three strategic areas:
Continue to Improve Our Facilities – In the next five years we want to enhance our existing sports venues so that our student-athletes will be competing in among the most contemporary facilities in the PBC.
Attract the Finest Coaches and Athletes Available – We must continue to raise the scholarship and other funds necessary to recruit both the best coaches as well as the most athletically and academically qualified students available.
Operations - Additional funding will provide the security of access to the equipment, training and travel monies needed for our coaches and athletes to perform at the highest level.
Like all public colleges and universities in Georgia, the University of North Georgia receives no financial support for athletic facilities from the State of Georgia. Thus, the Department of Athletics must raise the money for facilities, scholarships and operations either through private funding or student activity/athletic fees. Interestingly, some of North Georgia's competitors in the PBC are in states that do fund athletic facilities. South Carolina is one such example.
The funding challenge is further complicated by the limits to which the University can charge an athletic fee. Even with one of the highest fee rates in the University System of Georgia, the University of North Georgia - Dahlonega Campus still falls short in athletics funding. Athletic fees will simply not provide the means necessary to fund capital improvements.
To be sure, the A Vision for Excellence plan will have a tremendous impact on athletics at the University of North Georgia - Dahlonega Campus, as it will promote unprecedented revenue growth.

Bison Bellows and Bones: Student-Scientists on the Prairie
Editor's Note: At the Samuel H. Ordway Prairie Preserve, students from Gustavus Adolphus College will soon be arriving to follow bison herds for the summer. This research program is not only taking an in-depth look at animal behavior, it's also providing information on how to best manage bison on fenced reserves. Today, we're running a previously published blog on last year's student researchers at Ordway Prairie.
I'm in the back seat of the vehicle as two female college students drive around, listen to music and—in their words—"look for guys."
Just another evening for students on break, right?
Well, not quite.
These students aren't driving to a party, nor are they cruising around downtown. There is no town. For that matter, there's no road.
We're bouncing around mixed grass prairie in South Dakota, the four-wheel-drive pick-up thumping over ruts and rocks. The vehicle's loaded with notebooks, GPS units and animal bones.
And the"guys"?
They're large, shaggy and prone to bellowing, wallowing and urinating on themselves.
They're bison bulls, the subject of these students' summer research project.
Michelle Hulke and Mary Joy Sun, entering their sophomore years at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, have spent day after day recording the bison bulls' fights, vocalizations and even tongue positions.
It's a research effort aimed at determining if bison bull behavior can be managed to produce more genetically diverse herds in fenced preserves and ranches, the type of environments where most bison herds now roam.
Hulke and Sun are the sixth set of Gustavus Adolphus students to research herd behavior at The Nature Conservancy's Samuel H. Ordway Prairie Preserve, a 7,800-acre grassland property near Leola. Each year, students at Gustavus Adolphus have the opportunity to participate in research projects following their freshmen year. The bison project has become one of the most popular.
Conservancy preserves and projects offer the perfect outdoor laboratories for undergraduate field research. The Conservancy employs mentors in the form of 550 scientists, and many projects already have a "science infrastructure"—the tools, established research protocols and housing and logistics that support fieldwork. Students learn not only science but also community relations, marketing and land management.
Preserves are places where budding scientists can develop their skills and contribute to meaningful conservation. It's a place where tomorrow's conservation leaders can gain field experience in spectacular settings.
In this case, that means living amongst bison herds.

I love those slightly bizarre portraits you have going on. - Regarding crit, I agree with Serpian, more anatomy and studies. :]
nice start on a portrait i see what you mean about nto enough time to render... I like the eyes deformed a little though, not realistic but cute
i know you only just started to render but was the light just straight on? Usually forms are easier to read i find with a bit of side light to cast shadows along the neck line and such.
cool hair as well, maybe the ear is a little big? it kinda works with the big eyes atm though
try a 3/4 one next! the far eye will be a right pain in the turnip to do

loving the more graphical route your taking here - your latest stuff in particular has got a really nice feel to them, clean and fresh. i like the art deco-esque feel to some of the lines and colour too - could be a direction you could push further if you wanted to?
love the cool interesting mark making youve got going on, you're creativity is an asset, make sure you dont lose it while persuing the more technical aspects of drawing like anatomy and perspective and shit (tho make sure you do persue them)
ill keep looking in - i need to do more creative stuff like you
wow, a lot of imaginative stuff here! great! go on like this, and dont forget practicing human body stuff, cuz in the end it will also improve the imagined characters!

It's big speech time.
President Barack Obama just gave his first State of the Union address to Congress, while Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen will deliver his 8th and final State of the State Address to the General Assembly this Monday (February 1st).
Both men are dealing with very serious situations, with the most pressing issues revolving around our still very sluggish economy and double-digit unemployment in most of the nation. I could talk all day and night about the President's remarks, but he already did that in his speech with an address of over 70 minutes in length (somewhat long even by State of the Union standards).
Faced with declining public support (poll numbers) and the lingering political shock of Democrats losing their fillibuster-proof 60-vote majority in the Senate (because of the loss of the late Ted Kennedy's seat in the normally very blue state of Massachusetts), the President gave a masterful speech seemingly offering some new priorities and ideas on how to create jobs and pull the nation together, while not angering his political base by walking away from his legislative agenda (although how he and congressional leaders will breathe new life into his health care overhaul plans or the cap-and-trade energy and global warming bill remains a mystery and are probably non-starters).
The President seemed to take time in the speech to criticize pretty much anything and everything in Washington (including himself to some extent). The critiques are well deserved across the board in my opinion, although quite a few eyebrows were raised when he lit into the Supreme Court concerning its recent ruling allowing unlimited corporate campaign contributions for political campaigns, and the President did this with several members of the Court (in their judicial robes) sitting right in front of him.
The President is a great speech-maker. At times, you could hear a pin drop in the House Chambers as he delivered his address. He was, at times, both inspiring and folksy. I suspect his performance will boost his poll numbers, at least briefly. But as Gene Hackman said in the role as the coach in the movie, HOOSSIERS, "We are long past big speech time." If voters don't perceive that the country is getting back on the right track (most especially that unemployment is coming down), all the incumbents in Washington (Democrats and Republicans) could be in big trouble come the November elections.
With the Governor's State of the State speech coming up on Monday (February 1), we thought it was a good time to talk with some of our legislative leaders about what they expect out of his "big speech."
The budget is of greatest concern with the need to cut as much as another billion dollars out of the state's spending plans for next year. This will mark the third year in a row that expenditures have been curtailed. It will mean many more layoffs for state workers, as well as further reductions in some state services especially in higher education and health care.
Joining us on INSIDE POLITICS to discuss this (and all the other matters of interest coming up in this session of the General Assembly) are two Nashville representatives, Democrat Gary Odom, the House Minority Leader, and Republican Beth Harwell, who is also a former GOP state party chair. There is already a fight breaking out in the Legislature about how much of the state's $850 "rainy day" fund ought to be spent to bridge the budget gap. The House Speaker, Kent Williams says up to half ought to be used to keep health care services functioning, but the Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey is not so sure, suggesting that perhaps not the worst of the storm has passed for our economy, so continuing to hold back on using a lot of our "rainy day" fund would be a good idea. Of course, Ramsey's status as a gubernatorial candidate is getting involved in this along with his widening feud with Speaker Williams.
This week's INSIDE POLITICS show is a good one. We even talk about the future of Speaker Williams beyond this term of the General Assembly. The comments of both representatives are most interesting and perhaps revealing.

Who knew how important Metro's parking meters are to the future of our local government?
NEWSCHANNEL5's Phil Williams scored yet another coup when he reported exclusively that the city is investigating the idea of selling its parking meters (and civic parking garages) to private investors and businessmen, then using the millions of dollars generated to shore up the gaps in the city's operating budget (and perhaps lessen the need for a property tax increase).
Then there also comes word that the city is thinking about following the lead of the city of Denver, by putting up specially decorated parking meters that people can put money in to help the homeless.
Now both Metro and those providing services to the homeless can surely use the cash. I just hope when we are fumbling through our pockets to find some change, we don't all get confused about which money goes to the needy and which to the private businesses that will now operate and collect the funds from the regular parking meters. By the way it appears Metro will still provide the enforcement on the meters, issuing tickets if you stay too long. That's a sweet deal for the private operators, having the government enforce their rates. Of course, it could also work out for the city too, as I am assuming Metro will still get the parking fines folks will have to pay.
Frankly, from the reports I have seen, this kind of privatization scheme is not going over very well in Chicago where it is being tried (and parking rates have soared). Metro needs to think long and hard about this, especially since it is doubtful such a plan could be approved by the Metro Council and implemented in time to have much impact on this coming fiscal year's budget which begins in July. And even if it could be, would it really generate enough money to be worth the political heat or to cover Metro's growing budget issues?
Much like the state, Metro has a very tough budget-making process ahead. Finance officials are asking city departments to estimate what cuts as high as 7.5% would do to their departments. They warned them to be careful about using reserve funds to make up deficits and to do everything they can to protect basic services while also looking for ways to increase revenues where possible.
Sounds good, right? Sure it does. But again like the state, this is the third budget cycle for cutbacks and cuts that large (7.5%) will be hard to implement without significant layoffs and service cutbacks. In fact, there are some small city agencies that if forced to take a 7.5% cut will have to decide whether to lay off most of its employees or turn off the lights and the phone. There's nothing else to cut.
Sure, some fees and permit costs can be raised, and that will generate some monies. But would it be enough to cover Metro's budget shortfall? Doubtful
Another issue is what happens if some larger city departments are shielded from taking major cuts. Of course, police, fire and schools are very important. They are priorities. But if they don't have to share in the cuts, then the burden shifts even more to the other parts of government (public works, parks, libraries, hospitals and others).
There also appears to be some talk about the city looking at some sort of pay raise for Metro workers who haven't had one (at least across the board) since Mayor Karl Dean took office in 2007. While police and firefighters do have a separate pay plan, it is hard to see giving them a pay boost being very popular politically if other city workers are left out. A one-time bonus of some sort might be workable, but frankly even that seems a stretch when you are talking about more layoffs and cutbacks.
So is a property tax hike in the cards? I still see little enthusiasm for one in the Dean administration. But that means waiting two more years at least since next year (2011) is an election year and there is zero chance of an increase then. And then, there's this issue: Will the requested tax hike be so large it would trigger a charter-mandated voter referendum? And is that charter provision constitutional?
Lots of challenges and no easy answers
What if they held a tea party, but nobody came?
That seems to be just one of the dilemmas facing those organizing a national Tea Party convention here in Nashville this coming week.
Amid concerns about the event's financing, its for-profit status and what it is charging folks to attend several congressional speakers (including Tennessee's Marsha Blackburn) are bowing out. So far, the headliner for the conference, former Alaska Governor and 2008 GOP Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is hanging in, but there have been questions raised about her speaking fee and the very limited media coverage event organizers are allowing.
The Tea Party movement has brewed up quite a political storm in the last year, especially among elements of the Republican Party. But is it a part of the GOP or on its way to becoming a third-party? And what about those who say the very independent nature of Tea Party activists make it impossible for that group to become organized like the Republicans and Democrats?
And so it seems you have the Tea Party as they come to Tennessee….. they talk like Republicans, but they fight among themselves like the Democrats.
Welcome to Nashville! Please spend a lot more money than you expected. We need the tax revenues.

Meet a Cacoon; the coolest hanging haven for grown-ups and what a fantastic place for growing up in for kids.
Its your swing chair; your hammock; your hanging garden seat; its whatever you want it to be, inside or out. Its for after that hard day at work, or something fun for the weekend.
Picture yourself, chilling out and relaxing, wherever and whenever you want. A single Cacoon packs down to a handy size of less than 20cm x 70cm (80cm for a double), and being a real doddle to hang means that you truly can take it anywhere, anytime.
And the kids? You know theyll absolutely love it, whatever their age!
If you are not from Canada please click here to find your nearest Cacoonists
meet the makers
Husband and wife team Nick and Sarah make sails for ocean-going yachts. Theyre at the top of their game and work has taken them to some exotic locations.
It was on a trip to Mexico that the idea for the Cacoon was born.
Nick, who started out as a fine furniture maker, is no stranger to creating unique tensile structures with fabric having worked on projects like The Eden Project and the Alpine House at Kew Gardens, and had been commissioned to create a post-treatment relaxation chair or hammock by the luxury Spa Hotel in Cornwall 'The Scarlet'.
Whilst out walking they came upon a colony of weaver birds busy building their tiny woven hanging nests their safe bolt-hole in the jungle. This was the moment inspiration struck. That Eureka moment! And, by combining their furniture making expertise with complex sail cloth technology, 'Cacoon' was born.
So now, with your own Cacoon, just like the weaver bird, you too can be hidden away and sheltered, comfortable and relaxed, cocooned alone, or together, in your own private world.
Cacoon is so many things to so many people, but at its heart it is, quite simply, a back to the nest adventure.

gre scores
General Information
- It's about three-hours long and you can take it at any one of many test centers in the United States at any time, or even around the world up to five or six times a year– but you can only take it once a month, and up to five times per twelve-month period.
- If you take it multiple times, all your scores will be evaluated by the admissions officers for your chosen programs.
- Some programs will put greater weight on the higher score and be more impressed by a significant increase in score than two similar scores.
- Other programs will choose to judge applicants by the highest scores in each section.
- Averaging scores is uncommon.
Scoring and Registration
- The test is computer-adaptive, and leaving questions blank is very detrimental to your score.
- You will score anywhere between 400 and 1600.
- The national mean GRE score is about 462 in Verbal, 584 in Quantitative and 4 for the writing assessment.
- GRE registration occurs on a first-come, first-served basis at ETS.org.
- Do expect to register at least a week in advance of your test date.
- The GRE registration fee in the US is $160 as of January 1, 2010, and ETS will reduce this fee in special circumstances.
- The fee is higher in China, Hong Kong, India and other non-US test locations.
- It has typically gone up $10 in price every year.
Bg Changes to the GRE
- On August 1, 2011 drastic changes in scoring, design, and test content were implemented.
- Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning will shift from a 200-800 score scale measured in 10-point increments, to a 130-170 score scale in 1-point increments.
- Why? Scores will be more accurate to the abilities of the test taker and no longer overstate small differences between examinees.
- Recent technology changes which have an affect on the design of the test.
- New response formats such as increased data entry
- A tag for review option which allows you to skip a difficult question and return to it later without affecting your score,
- A preview and review capacity that enables you to scan ahead in the section you are working on, edit features so that you may change an answer after submitting it while working on the same section, and an on-screen calculator for the math portion of the test.
Content Changes
- Here is some information into how the content of the three major sections of the GRE has changed.
- The Verbal section will eliminate all questions on antonyms and analogies
- The Quantitative section will place greater emphasis on computation and analysis of data that is likely to relate to real-life scenarios
- The Analytical Writing will still have two parts, including a question for logical analysis and personal opinion, the questions themselves will be more focused, ultimately allowing the raters to know the answer wasn't memorized, but was actually written in response to the question.
- You must reschedule or cancel your test no later than three full days before your appointment (not including the day of your test or the day of your request) or your test fee will be forfeited.
- If you cancel your test no later than three full days prior to your test date, you will receive a refund equivalent to half of the original test fee. Otherwise, you will receive no refund.
- If you wish to change your test center, contact the GRE® Program by the registration deadline.
- The fee for changing your test center is $50.
- Center changes cannot be guaranteed but will be made as space permits.
- You cannot reschedule between sites served by different Regional Registration Centers.
Score Reports
- Requested score reports are sent to schools within 10-15 days after the exam
- All non-cancelled GRE testing administrations will be listed (and usable) in your ETS record for 5 years
- You cannot cancel reporting a score to ETS after viewing it. At the end of your GRE administration, you will report your scores to ETS, and you can choose to submit your scores directly to up to four institutions without additional cost
- For any additional score reports, the cost is $23 per report.
- You cannot send your multiple choice scores without the writing scores. You scores are valid for five years.
Looking to take the GRE in 2011?
Be mindful that the format and point system will be changing by this time next year.
According to The New York Times, the test will be revamped and even extended in length, with a new grading scale of 130 to 170. The Educational Testing Service ("ETS"), which administers the GRE, claims the changes are the "largest revisions" in the GRE history.
So, what's going to change?
While the exam will continue to include verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing – all three sections are being revamped. In terms of the changes within each section, here is a breakdown of what to expect:
- VERBAL: The verbal section will eliminate all questions on antonyms and analogies.
- QUANTITATIVE: While there are several minor changes, there is an advantage to the quantitative section: an online calculator!
- ANALYTICAL WRITING: While this section will still have two parts, including a question for logical analysis and personal opinion. The questions themselves will be more focused, ultimately allowing the raters to know the answer itself wasn't memorized, but was actually written in response to the question.
The GRE is unique in that it's "computer adaptive." What does that mean? Well, when you answer one question correctly the test will then take you to a more difficult question. Should you answer a question incorrectly, the test will take you to an easier question. The new GRE. in 2011 will be three and a half hours in length.
Why the changes? It seems the G.R.E. is trying to keep up a presence with the GMAT, an increasingly popular test for graduate admission and business schools, in particular. While there were announcements as early as 2005 to update the test and lengthen it to four hours, those plans were soon cancelled due to delays in setting up Internet-based test centers. The plans were then cancelled altogether in 2007.
At this present time, the Internet version of the GRE lasts three hours, whereas the paper-based version lasts three hours and forty-five minutes. According to the New York Times, over 600,000 students take the GRE annually.

By Edgar Thompson | UF Swamp Things
Orlando Sentinel
6:11 PM EDT, October 11, 2013
Much of the talk this week has been how the Gators will to slow down LSU's high-powered passing game - and rightly so.
Under new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, fifth-year senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger leads the SEC in passing and wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry have combined for 13 touchdowns and more catches (77) and yards (1,302) than any tandem in the nation.
But do not forget Tigers' running back Jeremy Hill, whose hard-running style helps set up the passing game.
"They're really, really balanced," UF defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin said. "They can attack you and hurt you in many ways."
Hill was a non-factor during the Gators 14-6 win in 2012, finishing with eight yards on two carries for a LSU squad that managed just 42 rushing yards.
"They came out and played fast and aggressive," Hill told the Tigers' media corps this week. "Their whole mentality was to stop the run. We're going to have our hands full."
The Gators lead the SEC in run defense, but are without star defensive tackle Dominique Easley (torn ACL) and have not faced a run game like LSU's.
Last Saturday, Arkansas managed 81 rushing yards and a 7-0 lead by the end of the first quarter before Florida clamped down. The Gators held the Hogs to just 30 rushing yards the rest of the night.
Hill and the Tigers should have more staying power, but also gained just 77 yards against Georgia during a 44-41 loss.
Hill bounced back with his 7th career 100-yard rushing game with 157 yards against Mississippi State and averages 118.8 yards a game and 7.5 yards per carry. With nine touchdowns in five games, he has an SEC-best 10.8 points per game.
Behind Hill are former starter Alfred Blue (214 yards, 1 TD) and speedy Terrence Magee (243 yards, 3 TDs).
"They're all talented," Durkin said. "When you watch the cut-ups from the tape, it's not like the offense is changing much when they're in there. They can all put a foot in the ground, they can break tackles, they can hit the big ones, they've all had big plays.
"The challenge is you've got a fresh guy in there running the ball and you've got to wrap him up and tackle."

All the pieces are in place to trigger a multiyear increase in demand for portland cement:
Steady increase in job creation. Consumer debt at a 35-year low. More people are buying homes despite slightly higher interest rates. More importantly, housing starts—the primary use of concrete in the residential marketshould be up 18% and continue at double-digit levels for several years (see chart below).
Meanwhile, on the investment side, profits are strong. Companies have cash reserves and banks are lending. That, too, represents an unprecedented level of pent-up demand. When it's released, commercial construction activity will be further supplemented by "intensity gain;" i.e., the amount of concrete used in a project will increase.
Though marginal, state and local governments have to start fixing the roads they've put off repairing for so long (see chart). More significantly, DOTs using lifecycle cost analysis see that concrete costs less than asphalt for both new roads and overlays. That alone could increase demand by 2 million metric tons whether or not the MAP-21 federal highway legislation is reauthorized in September.
It all adds up to an 8% increase in consumption over 2013 (see chart) and 90% operating rates by the end of 2014.
The big unknown is Congress. Every time in the recent past that there've been hints of renewed growth, something like the federal debt crisis or healthcare debate squashes momentum. Legislative stonewalling lowers GDP by up to half a percent. However, Portland Cement Association (Booth C4213) Chief Economist Ed Sullivan's annual World of Concrete forecast takes this into account. His prediction: 3% GDP.
"It's not rah-rah but solid compared to what we've been through," he says to the 35,000 whose livelihood depends on portland cement. "All the engines of construction activity are beating positively."

Company to Detail the Transformation of its Online Help System into a Public Wiki Portal at STC Israel Convention
New York, NY - MAY 29, 2007 - GigaSpaces Technologies today announced that its public wiki portal has earned the Company a coveted presentation slot at the 2007 Society for Technical Communication's (STC) 40th Anniversary Conference in Israel. On June 4, GigaSpaces' Gilad Maayan will present "Online Help, The Next Generation: The Making of a Wiki Documentation Portal." Maayan will detail how GigaSpaces transformed its 1000-page online help website into a public wiki portal that has drastically improved end-user experience.
The presentation is at 11:45 a.m. local time at the Daniel Hotel, Herzliya, Israel, in the Quicksoft Hall (Pacific Room). It is part of the New Tools and Technologies track at the STC Convention.
With up-to-the-minute documentation and dynamically updated content, the GigaSpaces wiki provides immeasurable value to existing and potential customers. It offers helpful information regarding online assistance, news about the latest product releases, and supporting documentation such as reference guides. The portal represents an exemplary collaborative effort involving highly knowledgeable development and product experts who work together to provide enriched documentation. The wiki, which can be accessed by clicking here, has changed the way GigaSpaces authors and collaborates on its product documentation. By allowing users to participate in content development and increasing access to editing across the organization, GigaSpaces has enhanced the online help and support to provide customers with the most current product information available.
"GigaSpaces is dedicated to staying ahead of the curve in every facet of our business, and the support we provide to our customers is no exception," said Geva Perry, chief marketing officer of GigaSpaces. "By instituting an interactive portal that delivers the most up-to-date documentation on our technology, we provide an enriched and unique user-experience."
GigaSpaces turned to Atlassian Confluence, a global enterprise software company, to transform its public online help and documentation system into a wiki portal. The implementation of the enterprise-class wiki was so successful that other departments within GigaSpaces became interested, and the Company set up an additional Confluence server as an internal organizational wiki.
GigaSpaces' selection to present at the Israel Convention comes off the heels of another recent honor the Company received from the STC regarding its communication to users. In January, GigaSpaces' "Quick Start Guide" for new users was singled out for the highly-regarded Merit Award, from among 16 finalist submissions entered in the Trans-European Technical Communications Competition.

This press release is an announcement submitted by Novo Nordisk, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
Novo Nordisk, a world leader in diabetes care, has partnered with Chip Ganassi Racing, LLC to create the Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing team for the 2011 IZOD IndyCar season. The team will sponsor a new entry in the series driven by American racecar driver Charlie Kimball. This partnership makes Kimball one of the first drivers from the 2010 Firestone Indy Lights series to move up the official "Road to Indy" with a full season sponsorship.
Kimball, 25, finished fourth in the 2010 Indy Lights season, capturing five podium (top three) finishes, including four second-place finishes. With this team, he will become the first licensed driver with type 1 diabetes in the history of the Indy Racing League to race at the highest level of the Series.
"We have sponsored Charlie for the past two seasons in the Firestone Indy Lights series and seen his development not only as a race car driver, but also as a role model to thousands of people with diabetes," said Camille Lee, Vice President of Diabetes Marketing at Novo Nordisk. "We are excited to join Chip and the entire Ganassi organization to ensure Charlie's success not only on the race track, but also with Novo Nordisk to show that diabetes does not have to get in the way of your dreams."
The creation of the new team allows Novo Nordisk to continue as Kimball's primary sponsor, with naming rights to the car, as well as other branding elements. Kimball will also continue to make appearances for Novo Nordisk throughout the country, with the award-winning Race with InsulinTM and other diabetes campaigns. Novo Nordisk has sponsored Kimball since he joined the Indy Racing League in the 2009 season.
"Many don't realize this, but we have had a relationship with Charlie for a number of years now. I have been keeping close tabs on him and his successes in racing from afar for a while now - whether he was racing in Formula 3 in Europe, or running in the Firestone Indy Lights Series the past few seasons," said racing legend and team owner Chip Ganassi. "We're excited to have the opportunity to turn this longstanding relationship into a reality with Charlie and Novo Nordisk."
Diagnosed with diabetes in 2007, Kimball monitors his blood sugar before, during and after each race, and uses the Novo Nordisk insulin Levemir® (insulin detemir [rDNA origin] injection) and NovoLog® (insulin aspart [rDNA origin] injection) and a pre-filled insulin pen device, called FlexPen®, to help manage his diabetes.
"I am honored to join Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing and excited to be moving up to the IZOD IndyCar Series," said Kimball. "This is a dream come true and I am very proud to work with Novo Nordisk and continue to spread the message that diabetes does not have to slow you down."
The 2011 IZOD season includes the following race events in 17 cities across North America, and in Canada, Japan and Brazil:
* March 27: Streets of St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg, Fla.)
* April 10: Barber Motorsports Park (Birmingham, Ala.)
* April 17: Streets of Long Beach (Long Beach, Calif.)
* May 1: Streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil (Sao Paulo)
* May 29: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Indianapolis)
* June 11: Texas Motor Speedway (Fort Worth, Texas)
* June 19: The Milwaukee Mile (Milwaukee)
* June 25: Iowa Speedway (Newton, Iowa)
* July 10: Streets of Toronto (Toronto)
* July 24: Edmonton City Centre Airport (Edmonton, Alberta)
* Aug. 7: Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (Toledo, Ohio)

* Sept. 18: Twin Ring Motegi, Japan (Motegi, Japan)

* Oct. 16: Season Finale - TBD

About Charlie Kimball
Kimball, who began racing go-karts at age nine, was accepted into Stanford University and chose to defer admission to follow his dream to become a racecar driver. He finished the 2010 Firestone Indy Lights season in fourth place. Prior to his diabetes diagnosis in 2007, Kimball shattered the European stereotype that "Americans are not fast" by becoming the first American in 11 years to win a British Formula 3 race. He went on to secure two track records and several F3 victories in both Britain and Europe. Kimball has also raced in the Formula 3 Euroseries and the World Series by Renault.

Chip Ganassi has been a fixture in the auto racing industry for over 25 years and is considered one of the most successful as well as innovative owners the sport has anywhere in the world.

In 2010, Ganassi's teams scored victories across the three touring series, including the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500, making him the only team owner in history to win both crown jewels in a single season.

MCHR Helps Raise Money for James T. Scott Benefit Program
Missouri Commission on Human Rights (MCHR) Executive Director, Dr. Alisa Warren, recently represented the Department at a fundraiser for the James T. Scott Benefit Program.
James Scott, a black janitor at the University of Missouri, was lynched by a Columbia mob in 1923, after being accused of raping the white daughter of a professor. His burial site is marked by a nondescript grave marker in what used to be the segregated section of Columbia Cemetery.
Several hundred people gathered at Second Missionary Baptist Church, where James Scott worshipped 87 years ago, for a memorial service organized to raise money for a proper headstone for Scott's grave.
The successful event raised more than $4,000 dollars. A headstone will be purchased and placed on Scott's grave in April, to commemorate the anniversary of his death.According to Dr. Warren, "This powerful event was a significant step for Columbia to improve race relations in our community. It was encouraging to share this experience with so many people of diverse backgrounds uniting towards a mutual goal. Mayor McDavid's remarks emphasized the importance of healing the wounds of our past and embracing progress for all people in Columbia. I am proud to have been a part of such a positive endeavor."

When I see a story about folks who've gotten busted for having an arsenal and because, as my husband puts it, "they have toys in the attic," I notice most of them are poor. Really poor. Living in squalor.
They live in trailer parts, rural shacks or crumbling buildings in cities. Or in a perfectly regular house in some suburb, maybe right next door. They don't have much else, but by golly — they have guns. Lots of guns. Maybe if they didn't spend all their money on guns, they might be able afford furniture and a bit more food in the fridge.
There was a time when Garry and I talked about getting hand guns. He was working all kinds of hours in dangerous places. I was coming home from work alone, in the dark. So we checked out what a decent handgun — one that won't blow up in your hand and will hit a target when aimed — costs. More than 20 years ago, a moderately good handgun from a legitimate manufacturer cost a thousand dollars or more. Maybe you could do better at a gun show or pawn shop, but we don't know enough about guns to buy that way. So how do all those street thugs and wackos manage to accumulate so many weapons? We couldn't afford them even when both of us were working and earning good money. I suppose it's a matter of priorities and what is really important in your life.
It seems to me — correct me if I'm wrong — that these people are passionate about their right to protect their stuff and feel they need an arsenal with which to do it. But the only thing they have that's worth protecting are guns. So they need guns to protect themselves from people would otherwise steal their guns. Have I gotten that correct?
They have guns to protect their guns because everything else they own is trash.
I know there are lots of legitimate gun owners. Folks who hunt, eat what they kill. Compete in gun-related sporting activities and don't spend every penny they get on more guns. You know, normal people who also own a gun or three. Those aren't the people I'm talking about.
I worry about that special breed, the Arsenal People, the folks whose motto is "You can't have too many guns." (I think you can have too many guns, but I'm not one of Those People.)
These nut cases and whack jobs abound in every area of the country. In rural villages, big cities and suburbs. They look normal. There's nothing — except money, which they always have enough of for more guns — to control how many and what kinds of weapons they own.
There are far too many of them for my comfort. Both the people and their guns.

also dropping in on a theory of computation class that i didnt get into but will destroy next semester
also i never really used pd at work because i had a 27 inch hd monitor and i didnt want to field questions from coworkers about my being on a pokemon forum
also i have this grandiose ambition of double majoring in a humanities subject (most likely philosophy) but i dont think i have the work ethic to accomplish it
Philosophy takes vast swathes of time dedication for reading and writing.
no not really. i did most of my browsing on my work computer save for getting on pd. i did that shit while baked at home.
i dont really have an incessant need to check on forums anymore either, which if i were lord i would claim is caused by me OUTGROWING internet forums but more likely its because pd's activity has been very slow for a while now
sometimes when I take breaks, usually after I finish shit
my supervisor lets me get off with a lot of stuff that I probably shouldn't, I'm not complaining

This couldn't happen now that weightlifting has changed the nature of the throws so drastically, but how about Michigan's Bill Watson?
In 1938 NCAA he was 1st in the LJ, 3rd in the SP and 4th in the DT? And the next year finished 4-2-2.
Hard to imagine his not winning the Olympic decathlon in '40 or '44 had he had the chance.
You know what, Watson is so great I'm going to start his own thread for him.

AK Sport Freedom Sneakers 22 22
AK sport freedom sneakers This is my second pair of these shoes and I absolutely love them. They are sharp looking with jeans or long pants, and are extremely comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a comfortable walking shoe. April 2, 2014
Love them! Needed some walking shoes for a trip. I think I'll get the other color as well. They stretch out a bit but it wasn't a big problem. I love not having to lace up. April 2, 2014
AK Zippered Shoe I bought a pair of these several years ago and loved them. In fact, I wore them out. They are not good for long walks or walking on rough surfaces. I wore them in Europe and could feel every cobblestone after about a mile so switched to my Asic walking shoes for sight seeing and wore these with capri's and other casual dress and wore them everywhere once we were home. . I received lots of compliments on them and don't understand the comment about them being ugly. They aren't (IMO, anyway) March 17, 2014
Good looking and very comfortable I really like these shoes. I usually wear a wide width but these work for me. They don't look like gym shoes, but I wear them for workouts, shopping and errands. I plan to wear them on the plane to Europe next month and also for sightseeing. February 12, 2012
Footware purchase Very comfortable and good fit, as I have bunions. Wish I had purchased a pair in black while they were on sale! February 15, 2014
useable these are ugly but should be useful. Not sure if the support is there and won't until I have a chance to try them out. February 11, 2014
Sporty, Easy-Off, Easy-On Travel Shoe Very attractive shoe that is sporty without looking athletic. The zipper is a nice feature. Trim design but not a winner for those needing a deeper toe box. Definitely not enough room for a full orthotic. There is not a noticeable arch. Great shoe, just not for me. I wear a 6.5 B. January 31, 2014
Very comfortable I purchased a pair about 5 years ago and have loved them! The zipper really makes putting on and off easy. The only downside with my new pair is "they squeak"! January 29, 2014
