Armstrong falls short, but Winfrey shines during interview
The most American of acts -- the celebrity television confession -- played out Thursday night on the cable channel OWN as Lance Armstrong asked for mercy in the court of Oprah Winfrey.
It was interesting theater, at least for those who could find the little-watched network, and a night where the interviewer came off far better than her subject.
Winfrey wasted little time in asking Armstrong a series of yes-or-no questions, including whether he had used the blood booster EPO, whether he had used cortisone and HGH, and whether he doped for each of his seven Tour de France victories. He answered "yes," to each of her first five questions and then said he did not believe it would have been possible to win the Tour seven times had he not doped. On the surface, it was curious choice by Winfrey to opt for such closed-ended questions at the start, but it worked. Armstrong's affirmative answers shifted immediate power to Winfrey and she controlled most of the 90-minute interview, even if the former cyclist was often light on the details to queries.
MCCANN: Armstrong confession has far-reaching implications
Armstrong is no hayseed when it comes to interacting with the media. For years, he courted both domestic and international journalists, often attempting to jockey one outlet against another and turning against those reporters whose pieces were critical. He played this game publicly last week-- presetting expectations --when he told the New York Times that "I think Oprah understands the pressure of this interview. She's clever. She's seen people questioning whether she will go deep. I've assured her that I want her to go deep with her questions, and I'm going to answer those questions openly, honestly and with full transparency. And, quite frankly, I'm looking forward to it."
The headlines after the opening admissions? Armstrong said he stopped doping in 2005 and denied he doped during the 2009 and 2010 Tour de Frances. He also denied he pressured teammates to dope and that while the doping setup was "definitely professional" and "definitely smart," he countered charges from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that his was "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
Winfrey asked open-ended questions on doping ("How were you able to do it? How was it done? How did it all work?") to prompt expanded answers but Armstrong revealed few details about the regimen and those involved in the process. "I'm not confortable talking about other people," Armstrong said. "It's all out there."
The 41-year-old Armstrong, however, did paint a character sketch of at best a flawed man, and at worst, one who lacks remorse. He admitted to being a bully throughout his career ("Yeah, I was a bully. I was a bully in the sense that I tried to control the narrative.") and said he didn't view what he did as cheating. "I didn't view it that way," Armstrong said. "I viewed it as a level playing field.
His answers on Betsy Andreu and Emma O'Reilly -- devoid of empathy and overflowing with arrogance -- will likely haunt him long after the interview. Winfrey failed to press him about his interactions with these two women and she really should have, especially on O'Reilly, the former Postal Service team's masseuse who Armstrong called a prostitute and an alcoholic. "She's one of these people that I have to apologize to," Armstrong said. "She's one of these people who got run over, who got bullied." Winfrey asked about Armstrong taking legal action against O'Reilly and Armstrong replied meekly. "To be honest Oprah we sued so many people ... I'm sure we did." It might have been the most disingenuous moment of the program.
Armstrong then offered a ham-handed attempt at humor when speaking of conversations with Betsy Andreu, the wife of former teammate Frankie Andreu who was among the first to testify to Armstrong's doping. He explained to Winfrey the details of a phone call to her to make amends: "I called you crazy, I called you a bitch, but I never called you fat," Armstrong told Winfrey of the call's dialogue. He then smiled, losing hearts and minds across the globe.
On this note, Armstrong did not address the hospital room confession the Andreus claimed they heard in 1996, when they were visiting him as he fought cancer. Betsy Andreu later in the night on CNN said Armstrong would also not admit to her during a phone call offering apologies. Why did he not admit it? "I heard [the word] legal," Andreu said.
Last week The Sunday Times, which paid Armstrong a settlement fee after he sued the newspaper for libel in 2004, took out an advertisement in The Chicago Tribune that featured David Walsh, The Sunday Times chief sports writer who chased Armstrong the way the peloton once did, suggesting to Winfrey potential questions to ask during the interview. Walsh suggested the devil would be in the details if Armstrong was to show true contrition. "Must be full confession to be taken seriously," Walsh said.
On this night, Armstrong fell well short of full confession. Winfrey's performance was far better than expected given sports and doping are not her terrain, though one imagines a journalist such as Bob Costas or Scott Pelley would have pressed Armstrong harder when he tried to evade.
Regardless, Winfrey ends up as the night's big winner. Her OWN network averages just 329,000 viewers a night and the Armstrong interview was likely seen by millions as far as a worldwide audience. The show offered breaks every 15 minutes and the traditional Winfrey method of highlighting a choice quote in the next segment. As for what's next, Winfrey teased Friday's one-hour conclusion on Armstrong's reactions to losing his sponsors and his relationship with his children and family.

After holding onto his middleweight belt for the fourth time in the British octagon of Cage Rage 16, Brazilian Muay Thai fighter Anderson Silva flies overseas and will be fighting on June 28 in the hallowed Octagon of the UFC. Now, the Brazilian wonders if he will be able to duplicate his repeat in Cage Rage and hopes someday to fight for the UFC middleweight belt, which is currently owned by champion Rich Franklin. He is cautious in his optimism however, and will patiently wait for his opportunity. "I dont think about fighting him now because he is the champion and I just arrived now. I know it will take a while before I have a chance to fight the champion, and I will wait for my chance," said Silva to MMA Ring report. The full interview is below:
MMA Ring Report - Tell me about your last fight at Cage Rage
Anderson Silva - It was the forth time I fought for the middleweight belt. I tried my best and I trained for it and in fact I can tell you it was a quick one. We exchanged a little on the feet, we clinched and I hit him with a knee. Then the fight restarted on the feet and I threw my elbow, it was a beautiful movement and nobody had seen it before. I got complimented by my performance in spite of lot of people thinking it was a movie non-effect movement, the elbow hit him in the right spot and I got the KO.
MMA Ring Report - After this impressive victory you signed with American promotion the Ultimate Fighting Championships...
Anderson Silva - Yes. I signed with them and I will be fighting in the octagon on June 28. I will do four matches first and I dont know what comes next. I am positive the UFC will give all the fight projection I need
I can tell you for sure I will be not doing anything else but fighting in the next five years. Ill give the best and I hope I can make history when I am in there.
MMA Ring Report - After defending the middleweight title of Cage Rage 4 times, are you going to leave Cage Rage?
Anderson Silva No, To be honest, I feel like its a suddenly "see ya buddies" (laugh). I have in mind Cage Rage is such a terrific organization and the event gave me a lot of projection. But its time to move out and I am sure fighting at UFC will be a unique experience.
MMA Ring Report - Fighting as a middleweight in the UFC, who are the tough fighters to be beaten?
Anderson Silva - There are several tough fighters in the UFC
I can tell you the current champion Rich Franklin is the man to be beaten. But also there are other great fighters such as Canadian Carlos Newton, who seems he will return to UFC and many others. I will look for the belt and I am aware it will be not an easy job. I know I have to improve my Wrestling and my ground skill to have a chance ahead the best Wrestlers of the world: the American fighters.
MMA Ring Report - Do you think about fighting Rich Franklin? How would it be a fight between you guys?
Anderson Silva - I dont think about fighting him now because he is the champion and I just arrived now. I know it will take a while before I have a chance to fight the champion, and I will wait for my opportunity. So I cannot say how it would be to have a fight between him and I. To be honest, Ive never seen him fight, but I know he is an excellent fighter and if someday I have a chance to fight him, Ill do my best.
MMA Ring Report - You fought in the ring, but in your last bouts, you have been fighting in the octagon... do you prefer to fight at the cage?
Anderson Silva - Well, I can tell you I have adapted to the cage. But in other hand I feel great fighting in the ring as well. I am a fighter and there is no such a thing as you choosing the perfect spot to fight. We are professionals and in the other side of the ring of the octagon there is somebody trying to beat your ass, so no matter where or what, you have to do your best. I can tell you for sure I already know to defend myself from wrestlers attacks, when they push you against the cage. This is a great way to annul a striker, but I am aware of it and my four belts speak for themselves.

A legislative fix to the retirement systems of state employees is in danger of being cut. Reporter Mike Powell tells us about a program that gives Montana high school students a hands-on learning experience. And in tonight's feature interview, Reporter Edward O'Brien talks with Missoula County Commissioner Jean Curtiss about her trip to a symposium that showcased childhood obesity.

Fund Goal and Approach
The fund seeks long-term capital growth. This objective may be changed by the fund's board, upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies: (i) that have their registered office in Brazil; (ii) whose principal trading market is in Brazil; or (iii) that have a majority of their assets, or that derive a significant portion of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales, in Brazil. The fund may invest in the stocks of companies of any size, although it focuses on large and mid-cap companies (generally, with market capitalizations of $2 billion or more at the time of purchase). The fund invests principally in common stocks, but the fund's equity investments also may include preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants, including those purchased in initial public offerings (IPOs) or shortly thereafter. The fund's equity investments also may include American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), which represent indirect ownership of securities issued by foreign companies.
The fund's sub-investment adviser, ARX, seeks investment opportunities in companies with sustainable earnings, attractive valuations and high dividend yields that indicate the potential for strong sustainable capital growth. ARX constructs the fund's portfolio through a combination of quantitative and fundamental bottom-up research, and an understanding of local/regional macroeconomic trends.
In selecting securities, the fund's portfolio managers use a three-step investment process:
Step 1: Quantitative Analysis
The portfolio managers use a proprietary quantitative model to identify and analyze approximately 180 stocks listed on the Sao Paulo Stock, Mercantile & Futures Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA), based on several factors, including earnings estimates, growth, beta, dividend yield estimates and liquidity. The portfolio managers generally identify approximately 60 of the most attractive securities screened by the quantitative model.
Step 2: Fundamental Analysis
Based on their assessment of certain qualitative factors, the portfolio managers generally select approximately 25 to 40 stocks from the narrowed universe of stocks screened by the quantitative model. As part of this process, the portfolio managers use a discounted cash flow approach to valuing companies. The portfolio managers examine a variety of information sources, including reported company financials and company reports, and, whenever possible, have discussions with company management. ARX uses various valuation measures, including enterprise value (FV/EBITDA), price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-book (P/BV) and price-to-sales ratios, to assess a company's business as viewed in the context of macroeconomics and sector and industry trends. The fund's portfolio managers then select those stocks that demonstrate high dividend yield, the commitment to distributing future earnings and expected growth in future earnings, taking into consideration factors such as liquidity, governance, sector and risk.
Step 3: Portfolio Construction
In the final step, the portfolio managers define exposure limits to each company and sector and weights to each stock selected in step 2. During this phase of the process, the portfolio managers use a quantitative and multi-factor model to seek to achieve portfolio optimization. The model is designed to provide a framework for risk decomposition and performance attribution. There are also liquidity controls in place with a bias toward large and mid-cap stocks. The portfolio managers regularly evaluate the risk profile of the fund's portfolio and adjust exposure limits as necessary.
ARX does not use benchmark indices as a tool for active portfolio management. Traditional benchmark indices, however, may be helpful in measuring investment returns, and the fund's investment returns generally will be compared to those of the Morgan Stanley Capital International� (MSCI) 10/40 Brazil NR Index, an unmanaged index designed to track the performance of stocks traded primarily on the BM&FBOVESPA.
Although not a principal investment strategy, the fund may, but is not required to, use derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures (including those relating to stocks, indices, foreign currencies and interest rates), and forward contracts, as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage currency risk, or as part of a hedging strategy. Since the value of the Brazilian currency can fluctuate significantly and potentially result in losses for investors, the portfolio managers may seek to manage currency risk by hedging all or a portion of the fund's currency exposure and, in their discretion, may employ certain techniques designed to alter the fund's exposure to the Brazilian currency. Generally, this involves buying options, futures or forward contracts relating to currencies. The fund also may engage in short-selling, typically for hedging purposes, such as to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of its portfolio securities.
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money.
* Risks of concentrating investments in Brazil. The fund's performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting Brazil. Special risks include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing accounting and legal standards. Because the fund's investments are concentrated in Brazil, the fund's performance could be more volatile than that of more geographically diversified funds.
As an emerging market, the Brazilian market tends to be more volatile than the markets of more mature economies, and generally has a less diverse and less mature economic structure and a less stable political system than those of developed countries. Certain political, economic, legal and currency risks have contributed to a high level of price volatility in the Brazilian equity and currency markets and could adversely affect investments in the fund. Brazil has historically experienced high rates of inflation and may continue to do so. Inflationary pressures may slow the rate of growth of the Brazilian economy and may lead to further government intervention in the economy, which could adversely affect the fund's investments. Brazil continues to suffer from chronic structural public sector deficits. Unanticipated political or social developments may result in increased volatility in the fund's share price and sudden and significant investment losses.
* Emerging market risk. The securities of issuers located in emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of issuers located in more mature economies, and emerging markets generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. The securities of issuers located or doing substantial business in emerging markets are often subject to rapid and large changes in price.
* Foreign currency risk. Investments in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Foreign currencies are also subject to risks caused by inflation, interest rates, budget deficits and low savings rates, political factors and government intervention and controls.
* Risks of stock investing. Stocks generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect the company or its particular industry.
* Liquidity risk. When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities in a timely manner at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities and the fund's share price may fall dramatically. Investments in foreign securities, particularly those of issuers located in emerging markets, tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities.
* Non-diversification risk. The fund is non-diversified, which means that the fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. Therefore, the fund's performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.
Please see prospectus for additional Risk Details.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.

Would be pefect wallet EXCEPT for one design flaw (and it's a deal breaker)
Leather is great, quality is great. BUT, ID window needs to be on the left side of the wallet, not right.
It doesn't make much design sense to have it on the right side of the wallet.
90% of people are right-handed so it's more convenient to have majority of cards on right side of wallet for convenience.
When showing people your id, they look from left to right thereby making the id window on the left side the most sense.
I know I'm not the only one with this view and I hope BOSCA redesigns this in the future. For me, it's a deal breaker on an otherwise perfect wallet.

Best Practices for Security and Compliance with Amazon Web Services
Click here to download now
Overview: Amazon Web Services (AWS) has set high standards for the entire Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) industry by building a solid foundation with comprehensive administrative, physical and logical controls - from strict policies for physical access to its data centers, to well thought-out configuration change management procedures. However, a secure foundation is just the start and to build an end-to-end secure computing environment, organizations must take an active role in protecting systems, applications and data as part of the AWS shared security model. This paper will discuss what part of the shared responsibility equation customers are responsible for and what some of the recommended security practices are that can help create a secure cloud-computing environment.

I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of hijacking of threads, basically that means, the discussion of the thread veers dramatically from the title of the thread. Let's try and keep the hijacking down to a minimum.
Now I'm not going to become a thread nazi, sometimes, things just happen and a thread can go off on a tangent (so please don't report threads that do go off on a tangent) but let's try to keep the discussion on track. That way people who click on thread titles will actually see a discussion on what the title is about. That being said, some of the thread titles can be pretty vague. I think it will help readers if the title of your thread is clear about what the subject is.
This board is an ever evolving entity and as we grow I want to try to keep it as easy to use as possible.
Thank you for your help.

Getting strategic about how you access knowledge can help just about anyone achieve their goals more efficiently. McKnight communications director Tim Hanrahan blogs about our yearlong exploration to consume, organize, and share knowledge better.
In this video blog post, Education & Learning program and policy officer Erin Gavin explores the ties between the success of New Jersey's Union City public schools -- which she visited recently -- and our own work here at home in the Twin Cities.
In 2011, McKnight discontinued its grantmaking program for women's economic empowerment in East Africa. As part of our process, we hired The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI) to create a historical summary of the program. McKnight's VP of Program Neal Cuthbert provides context.

Prototype explosives-detection system utilizes live 'sniffer mice'
The prototype BioExplorers system uses live sniffer mice to detect explosives (Photo: Rama)
Article Summary
Mice ... they may nibble our food, poop in our cupboards, and make us go "eek," but they may also someday keep us from getting blown up. Before they can do that, however, Israeli tech company BioExplorers has to get its mouse-based explosives detection system out of the prototype stage and into production. If it ever does see the light of day, then people at airports, arenas, and other high terrorism-risk areas may routinely be getting a sniff-down by containers of live rodents.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
By David Hench email@example.com
Staff Writer
Matthew Dyer's interest in hiking to extremely remote parts of the world is not surprising.
This photo shows a view of the Nachvak Fjord in the Torngat Mountains National Park in Labrador, Canada. Maine resident Matthew Dyer was camping in this national park, near the Nachvak Fjord, when he was mauled by a polar bear Wednesday, July 26, 2013.

"He's kind of a hippie, counterculture guy, the kind of person who would go out in the woods and experience that type of life, get away from the day-to-day practice as far as you can," Auburn lawyer Leonard Sharon said Friday.
It was his interest that led Dyer, a lawyer for Pine Tree Legal Assistance in Lewiston, to hike in Torngat Mountains National Park in Labrador, where he was attacked by a polar bear early Wednesday. It was the worst mauling since the park was created in 2005.
Dyer remained in intensive care at Montreal General Hospital on Friday night after he was mauled by the bear, which broke through an electrified fence and attacked him in his tent while he was camping with a group.
The bear, a carnivorous predator that can reach 1,000 pounds and is common in the northern Labrador park, attacked Dyer about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. It dropped Dyer after other members of his camping party fired signal flares.
The Canadian park service sent an emergency helicopter with a medic and staff person to evacuate Dyer back to the Torngat Mountains Base Camp. With bad weather threatening, park officials quickly flew him to Quebec, where he was loaded on a flight to Montreal to undergo emergency surgery for serious injuries.
A message left at Montreal General Hospital for Dyer and his wife, Jeanne Wells, was not returned Friday night. The couple lives in Turner.
Dyer's friends portray him as a compassionate man who likes helping people and enjoys the outdoors.
"He's a great guy," said Sharon, who described Dyer's idealism as a "desire to help poor people secure the civil rights they are often denied."
Dyer, who graduated from the University of Maine School of Law in 1993, has earned recognition for his work on tenants rights and was a vocal advocate for renters displaced after the fires in Lewiston earlier this year.
A spokesperson for Pine Tree Legal Assistance said the legal aid group would not comment on the incident, out of respect for his family.
Zachary Heiden, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union in Maine, said Dyer is well-regarded in legal circles.
"Everybody thinks very highly of him. He's a really great guy and a great lawyer," Heiden said.
"It's obviously terrible," he said of the attack. "I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for him."
Dyer was with a group of hikers camping at the Nachvak Fjord, a spectacular landscape in Torngat Mountains National Park on the northeast fringe of the Canadian wilderness. The park covers 3,700 square miles.
"Nachvak Fjord is a very large, deep fjord -- 4,000-foot mountains surrounding an inlet from the ocean, extremely rugged terrain," said Peter Deering, manager of resource conservation for Parks Canada in western Newfoundland and Labrador.
The fjord where Dyer's group was camping has both natural beauty and cultural significance, with many remnants of Inuit, or Eskimo, settlements dating back 5,000 years.
The area is so far north that nighttime at this time of year is no darker than a soft twilight, Deering said.
Polar bears are common in the park. In the winter, they hunt seals on the sea ice, but during the brief summer period that lasts about two months, the ice is gone and the bears linger on shore, Deering said.
"Polar bears are plentiful across the whole park landscape, more plentiful along the coast certainly, but you can encounter them anywhere on that landscape," Deering said. "Visitors regularly encounter polar bears whenever they are in Torngat Mountains, but we've never had an attack like this since the park was established in 2005."

Downstream Digital in Portland Select System 5-MC
Post house commits to two systems for its primary audio post rooms integrated with Nuendo
Avid announced that Downstream Digital of Portland, Oregon recently purchased two System 5-MC Integrated DAW (digital audio workstation) Controllers. Slated to be operational at the start of calendar 2007, the two identically configured systems each include the MC Media Application Controller plus an additional 8 faders and are to be housed in custom fitted desks.
Downstream Digital is involved in a broad variety of disciplines, including A/V design and integration, film and video production, motion graphics, telecine, digital editing, dubbing, and sound design. Much of the company's work involves corporate messaging and advertising spots with an emphasis on sound for animation. The new System 5-MC workstation controllers will be housed in the company's two primary audio post suites and will serve as the core systems handling their post-production workflow.
According to Lance Limbocker, Downstream Digital's senior sound designer and head of the audio group, "We're really looking forward to integrating the new systems into our work environment. We looked at a number of mixing solutions and genuinely feel that the System 5-MC represents the best fit. The high degree of programmability that the control surface offers is particularly impressive. The System 5-MC enables us to define how we interface with any given DAW application—as opposed to being locked in to the way some design engineer thinks a given task should be done. Of equal importance, the hardware is first rate and provides all the tactile control you could ask for. The color coding feature of the faders makes it easy to visually keep track of assignments, and this is just one example of the system's well-thought out engineering."
While the System 5-MC has the ability to seamlessly switch from one DAW application to another at the press of a button, it was the EuCon high speed protocol and its tight integration with Steinberg Nuendo that helped seal the deal for the two systems. The EuCon high speed protocol enables extremely fast network access to any function in software applications supporting it, such as Nuendo. With the System 5-MC and Nuendo, the combined system offers blazing performance and bi-directional capability, enabling the MC to receive high-speed data such as metering and reflect this information on its vivid LCD display—facilitating fast and intuitive control.
"The way the System 5-MC and Nuendo work together is really impressive," states Limbocker. "Nuendo's support for the EuCon protocol creates an environment that is extremely responsive and highly customizable. And because the control surface is so highly configurable, it can evolve right along with advances to the software—making obsolescence less of an issue. Once we get acclimated to the new way of working, I can certainly envision us integrating Apple Computer's Final Cut Pro with the System 5-MC as well—and that's the beauty of the MC—it works with any application."
Downstrean Digital and Avid cemented the sales transaction during the AES show in San Francisco, CA. Reflecting on their conversations with the sales and technical staff, Limbocker commented, "The entire team was very supportive throughout the sales process. We had numerous questions, and their technical staff was extremely responsive and went to great lengths to provide us with the information we needed. Avid enjoys a reputation for excellent service and support, and we look forward to developing a long term partnership with the company. I'm confident our decision to go with the two System 5-MC workstations is right for our business."

Although MI students may select to pursue their MAEd/ESL on a part-time basis, most opt for full-time study. They complete 24 credit hours at UAB during the academic year immediately preceding their entry to Peace Corps. From August to June, they take 4 courses in linguistics (Second Language Acquisition, Grammar for ESL Teachers, Phonology for ESL Teachers, English in a Global Context) and 4 courses in pedagogy (Teaching Adult Language Learners, Methods for Teaching English as an International Language, Instruction & Assessment of Reading/Writing, Instruction & Assessment of Listening/Speaking).

As of July 1st, they are ready to start serving 27 months in the Peace Corps. While overseas, MI students are guided by UAB instructors in completing 9 credit hours of practicum-related courses with projects that enhance their PCV responsibilities. MI students must be enrolled in coursework during the term in which they graduate. Upon completing their Peace Corps service, they receive their master's degree from UAB without having to return to campus.
UAB has 11 schools and colleges on a campus comprised of 80 city blocks that is both metropolitan and traditional. Having started in 1945 as a medical school and in 1969 as an autonomous university, UAB is now the largest single employer in the State of Alabama.

990 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN | Directions 5540244.974094 -93.274643
Mon. - Sun. 7:30am - 1am
Neighborhoods: Downtown West, Central
Fun Place – In reference to the two previous comments, I'm sorry you experience homophobia in your life, it's disappointing and regrettable. The Newsroom, however, I would not classify as "not gay friendly" or abusive to gay culture. I've been stopping through for years and been waited on by gay members of their staff. The servers are happy and some I've seen for years. I find it hard to believe a homophobic manager would hire gay employees. As for the food you brought in, it is a health code infraction to have outside open containers of food or drink inside a restaurant. I'm sure you were told bringing food inside a business specializing in providing food for others was not welcome. It wasn't done because your gay. There are more than a few gay bars around downtown meaning there are gay people in every restaurant; they have a wine list as long as your arm; this isn't "Brothers".
Rude – I went to the newsroom after a Vikings game with my partner from out of town. My partner placed a souvenir bucket with some popcorn leftover from a football game we just attended on one side of the table. All was going fine, the waitress was really nice and we ordered food and drinks. We'd been there for a while enjoying ourselves, and we held hands and were having a great time when the manager came up and literally yelled "
You can't have that (the popcorn) in this restaurant! It breaks health codes!" and he promptly walked away. I couldn't believe it. He embarrassed us and everyone around us. We got the check as fast as we could and left, totally humiliated and angry. Having dealt with homophobia enough in my lifetime, I knew that the manager did what he did to get us to leave. It worked! And I will never go back and I will spread the word to anyone who listens....don't bother going to the Newsroom in Minneapolis on Nicollet Mall if you believe in fairness and being treated as a equal human being.
Won't be back – Overpriced and not gay friendly. Manager was rude and embarrassed us. We felt uncomfortable and left.
Just don't go – my friend and i were looking for a place to grab a bit the other night and i suggested stopping in there because i have been by in the summer time and always wanted to check it out. the summer is probably the only time you want to go, and only because you are sitting on a patio enjoying people watching and the heat. the inside of this place is chintzy. it's filled with tvs which made my stomach turn, though the real culprit for my nausia probably had more to do with the food. it's just bad. the dinner menu is wayyyyyy overpriced for what you end up eating. i didn't go for anything too meaty like the steaks or the burger (why are the sandwiches on a seperate menu??). instead i opted for a pasta dish. seriously, why spend 15 dollars for something that you could dump out of a lipton instant meals bag and heat up in your microwave? my companion wasn't impressed with his food and neither of us finished our meals. and it's not like you are paying for the ambiance, it's like tgi fridays in newsprint. there were a couple other tables, but mostly the staff just hung out looking bored and annoying. our server wasn't fast, wasn't very attentive and didn't have much personality: the only thing he actually did do was reinforce how annoying it was to be there. the place is lame.
Nice space, good meal, GREAT CHICKEN WINGS – GET THE WINGS AS AN APPETIZER. The dining area is interesting with a cool news room theme. Our server was great and the food was delicious and not too expensive.
Below Average Food and Service – My boyfriend and I wanted to try out the News Room since it's close to my apartment and on the trendy "Eat Street" of Minneapolis. I'd heard there was a good atmosphere.
When we got there, we were a little disappointed by the menu choices and had to ask for the sandwich menu (it comes separately). Why wouldn't they just put one on the table?
The server was flaky and when my boyfriend ordered a beer, she said "I think you should have a [insert beer name] because we're doing contest to see who can sell the most." My boyfriend was like "no, thanks...." It took her forever to get us waters and it wasn't even busy.
I chose a Spring Chicken Sandwich, which was pretty good. My boyfriend got one of their Kobe Beef burgers. He took about two bites before putting it down because it was gross. I tried it and it tasted funny to me, too. The fries were disgusting--you could taste the other food that had been cooked in the oil before them. When the waitress came to check on us, we said the food was Ok and she didn't even ask if there was anything she could do to improve it. She just walked away.
Overall, the service was poor, the food wasn't that tasty or special, and we left not wanting to go back. As we walked out, the hostess just stood there scowling, without even saying "thanks for stopping" or "have a good night!"
Avoid breakfast – The breakfast menu is pretty small so it was tough to find something for my 3 year old. I had a ham and asparagus with goat cheese omelette and my daughter had the pancakes. While my omelette had a good taste some of the asparagus was a little undercooked and the pancakes were nothing to brag about. The service was terrible there were only three tables at the time and everything took forever even trying to pay the tab. Will NEVER go there again. And what's up with the ship in a news room???????
There are better options downtown – If you like average food and average service then the News Room is for you. You know what you'll get, but you won't be delighted.
dumb – no flair, no significance, and when I go downtown, I want that, plus decent food and service. I just don't get this place.
Newspaper-themed restaurant known for its traditional American menu and impressive decor. – In Short
Each room is inspired by a section of the newspaper, with a giant stock ticker tape winding around the ceiling in the business section and TVs broadcasting classic movies in the entertainment section. And every wall is papered with blown-up front pages. Appetizers include Buffalo wings and pan-seared scallops with caramelized shallots. Choose among 15 salads and a dozen pastas. Meat-and-potato entrees include fish, steaks and a hearty, comforting meatloaf.
