How to Apply
Indiana University's Commitment to You
Indiana University is committed to the goals of quality and diversity in its admissions policies. The Office of Admissions strives to enroll a student body whose members are well-qualified to succeed in University programs and who represent the full range of diversity within our state, nation, and the world.
Admission decisions will be based on the academic quality of the applicants; no one will be denied admission on grounds of sex, age, race, religion, ethnic origin, veteran status, disability, and/or sexual orientation. Indiana University supports and complies with Affirmative Action regulations. All admissions decisions are made at the discretion of the University.
Your IU Story Starts Now. Apply to IU.
Before you can live on our beautiful campus, study in one (or more) of our hundreds of degree programs, and experience our exciting campus culture—from Big Ten sports to world-class arts—you need to apply to IU.
Admission to IU is selective. Below are a few other important facts about our admission process:
- We review each application for its individual merits and qualities. We look at everything from your high school curriculum to your grades and SAT/ACT test scores.
- Our application isn't complicated. We don't require letters of recommendation or essays from undergraduate applicants in the initial review process, although both may be required if you are invited to apply for Selective Scholarships and/or Scholar Programs. Our required personal statement for freshmen is short and has a 300-word limit.
- We practice modified rolling admission. Submit your completed application by one of our two priority dates, and we'll tell you the date by which you will receive a decision. You may even receive a decision sooner. If you miss our priority dates, we'll still review your application on a space-available basis. However, you may not receive full consideration for financial aid and scholarships.
Application procedures and admissions standards vary for different types of students, so explore the navigation to the left to learn more about how you can apply.
Music Students
Please note that the deadline for completing the application for the Jacobs School of Music is November 1. Please contact the Jacobs School of Music Admissions Office at (812) 855-7998 for more information. Jacobs School of Music freshman applicants will not be considered for IU merit scholarships administered by the Office of Scholarships.

Filmmaker and social activist: SusannahTantemsapya
My passion is art and social activism. I am the Founder and Executive Director of Creative Migration, a non-profit organization that produces documentary films promoting art projects that inspire artists, filmmakers, musicians, designers, environmental activists and everyday citizens to promote and practice social change.
The film project: GreenPatriotPosters
Our film builds on the momentum of Green Patriot Posters, a multi-channel campaign centered on posters that encourage all U.S. citizens to take part in building a sustainable economy. It has already reached 4-5 million people through bus ads, billboard campaigns, museum exhibitions and media coverage.
Here's the main story of our short documentary film:
- the vivid and compelling poster campaign at 8 bus shelters in San Francisco during December 2010
- the evolution and scope of the project including interviews with its founders and contributors
- the sustainable practices used and modeled throughout the campaign and filmmaking process
The communications campaign: a series of posters promoting environmental awareness and action
- These posters were selected from Green Patriot Posters, created and curated by Edward Morris (co-founder of The Canary Project) and Dmitri Siegel (director of marketing for Urban Outfitters)
- Morris and Siegel commission posters from design leaders, and have developed an online community for sharing and voting on original designs. The posters are then distributed as widely as possible, including an ecologically designed book, public advertising, workshops and our documentary film!

EAA Government Advocacy
Comment Period Open for Medical Exemption Request
Now is the time to make your voice heard - The exemption request filed by EAA and AOPA pertaining to third-class medical certificates has been officially posted by the federal government, making it possible for the public to submit comments on the proposal.
Public comments are currently accepted online. AOPA and EAA have issued a guide to assist aviators when making their comments on the exemption. Read More
Frequently Asked Questions on the EAA/AOPA medical exemption petition request
EAA, AOPA Request Exemption to Third-Class Medical Requirements
Your time to comment is now! On March 20, 2012, the long-awaited exemption request regarding third-class medical certificates was formally submitted by EAA and AOPA. The reaction to this request has already been strong and positive. More importantly, now is the time for you to forward your comments to the FAA on the proposal.
EAA and AOPA submitted the proposal jointly because the exemption, if granted, would increase the level of safety and significantly reduce a substantial economic and regulatory burden for those who fly recreationally. The organizations are asking the FAA for an exemption to the current regulation that requires all pilots hold at least a third-class medical certificate to exercise the privileges of a private or recreational pilots certificate. The exemption request would give pilots who fly recreationally the option of either retaining a third-class medical or, instead, participating in a recurrent online education program that will teach them how to self-assess their fitness to fly.
The aeromedical education program would exceed the FAAs currently mandated training. Participating pilots would be required to hold a valid drivers license and conduct a meaningful self assessment prior to each flight. The self-assessment required in the exemption will be similar to what pilots do now between AME visits, except pilots will have a higher level of knowledge for the self-assessment after completing the required education program.
The requested exemption would help to mitigate the increased risk inherent in transitioning to unfamiliar and sometimes distinctly different aircraft, which is the only alternative currently available to the FAAs third-class medical.
The complete exemption request is now posted and open for public comments. EAA and AOPA also have created a guide for commenting on the proposal, available at the top of this page.
Dont wait let the FAA know that you support this important exemption request!
EAA Requests Exemption to Allow Volunteer Pilots Flying EAA Young Eagles Flights to Receive Free Fuel
Your time to comment is now! On April 17, 2012, EAA submitted a petition for exemption to the FAA asking the agency to allow volunteer pilots flying EAA Young Eagles children for free to receive free aviation fuel (of any kind) as replacement fuel for that fuel that was actually consumed during the Young Eagles flight(s).
The Volunteer Act of 1997 has long held that any volunteer can be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred during the volunteer activity. The FAA is the only federal agency that made the act of reimbursement a commercial activity.
This is EAA's second attempt in seeking an exemption.
In July 2002, the FAA issued EAA exemption number 7830 which allowed EAA members to receive free aviation fuel for the actual fuel consumed while flying Young Eagle children. EAA did not use this exemption because of the extreme limitations the FAA placed on this organization:
- Volunteer YE pilots must hold at least a private pilot certificate, have 500 hours of total flight time, 200 hours in the category of aircraft to be flown, and 50 hours in the class of aircraft to be flown, plus hold at least a 3rd Class medical certificate.
- The aircraft flown must be standard category aircraft.
- These limitations would have restricted the use of the exemption to approximately 1/3 of the entire volunteer pilot force, which was totally unacceptable to EAA. We let this exemption lapse.
In April 2012, EAA submitted a new exemption request containing additional supporting information asking the FAA to approve the exemption so that:
- Sport and Recreational pilots can fly Young Eagle children (as their pilot certificate allows them to carry passengers);
- Experimental amateur-built, exhibition, and light-sport aircraft; and special light-sport aircraft to be used for the flights;
- Restrictive qualifying number of flight hours before a volunteer pilot fly Young Eagles child is not imposed. We feel when a pilot passes their FAA-mandated initial evaluation flight, that flight in itself is the formal approval for that pilot to fly passengers; and
- Allow EAA to continue using its long-established Young Eagles flight safety programs that have been so very successful since the Young Eagles program was established in 1992.
We now request all Young Eagle volunteer pilots and program volunteers submit comments to the FAA asking them to approve this exemption. EAA feels this exemption, if approved, will allow many pilots who can no longer support this program due to the ever increasing aviation fuel costs, to continue introducing aviation to the youth of America.
Your voice is a critical component for the success of this petition - submit them today.

GA Safety Interventions Proposed
Last month, the General Aviation Joint Steering Committees (GAJSC) Loss of Control Working Group (LOCWG) wrapped up its yearlong work researching, analyzing, and developing solutions to prevent fatal loss of control accidents in the future.
The working group was formed to study LOC fatal accidents, focusing on those occurring during the approach and landing phase of flight, determining contributing factors, and developing intervention strategies that will be implemented by both the FAA and industry. The group focused on 90 fatal accidents that were selected using a customized random sampling methodology. The 90 accidents were divided into three categories: amateur-built, turbine, and reciprocating non-amateur- built.
The working group of 25 industry and government subject matter experts followed the processes established by the Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) and applied them to general aviation. By following a process that has proven to be effective for commercial aviation, it allowed key GA stakeholders to actively cooperate and focus on the right things, said David Oord, EAAs manager of government and regulatory affairs, who chaired the working group with Kevin Clover, National FAASTeam operations lead.
The interventions developed by the working group were incorporated into detailed implementation plans (DIPs) that cover the statement of work, lead organization for overall project coordination, safety enhancement, outputs, resources needed, timeline to implement, actions, relationship to current aviation initiatives, and performance goals and indicators.
The plans cover a wide range of safety improvements, from angle of attack indicators, transition training, and aeronautical decision-making to better utilization of type clubs. The plans are being finalized and will be presented to the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee for final approval. Once approved, the real work begins, Oord said. The proper implementation of the plan and getting the safety-critical information or technology, whether in the cockpit or in training, will positively improve safety and prevent these accidents from occurring in the future.
EAA remains committed to the process developed under the new GAJSC structure and looks forward to participating in the next working group, beginning later this year.
Another Milestone
As you have undoubtedly read, AOPA and EAA developed a petition to allow recreational flying with a valid drivers license and specialized online medical self-awareness training in lieu of a third class medical. Early in March, EAA and AOPA submitted the final version of the petition to the FAA. With this submittal, it is more important than ever before that you take the time to make your voice heard.
Posting your comments is easy. Once you see the search block on the opening page of www.Regulations.gov, enter Docket No. FAA-2012-0350. That will take you to the page with a link to the petition and a link to post a comment. Click on Submit a comment on the upper right side of the page.
Now is the time to submit comments in support of this petition. As of this writing, there are more than 500 comments already posted. Please consider adding your thoughts to the growing list. I cannot stress enough that your voice makes a difference within the FAA process. Each of us who takes the time to submit supportive comments is helping to establish the relevance of the petition subject matter. You can make a difference!
Submittal of this petition is a major milestone for AOPA and EAA. It has been more than six months since the petition was first announced at the AOPA Aviation Summit in Hartford, Connecticut, last fall. What we now have is the final product from some very smart teams of staff members within both organizations. This is significant in that we truly are more effective when we combine the efforts of the two largest aviation organizations. I am certain you will see future initiatives for aviators being supported in this manner as well. Stronger Together really does work.
Remember, this petition is a long road. Its submittal to the agency is just the beginning, but certainly it is a milestone. Read the petition and submit your thoughts; then stay tuned as the process continues.
Government Relations Briefings
Government Relations Archive
EAA's Government Relations department works to preserve the freedom of flight and reduce the regulatory barriers affecting affordability and access to EAA members participation in aviation. Protecting the freedom to fly is the foundation on which all of the organizations advocacy initiatives are built. EAA fights to preserve this freedom by providing clear solutions and practical alternatives backed by hard work and dedication. EAAs 55-year history of success is a testament to that philosophy.

Get into a shape and look fab while doing it! Attire-friendly workout leggings flatter more than just your appearance: they also act as an enhancer depending on your workout. Check out SELF's picks and find your best legging! What you wear to the gym can go a long way toward helping you stay happy, motivated and confident — and can even improve your workout performance, experts say. February Self cover beauty Brooklyn Decker relies specifically on her workout leggings when running, weight lifting, or taking a yoga class. Self has dissected some of the top brands and found the best leggings for your preferred workout! Perfect For Spinning What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Reebok On the Move Capri ($45) Speed and strength is a key component to jump-start your day with a morning Spinning class. The possibility of your workout pant becoming caught in the pedals can be a setback, so we recommend these capri-length leggings. They're tight fitting and won't sidetrack your brain during your ride. The leggings are made out of play-dry fabric, which wicks moisture away from your skin to keep your legs dry during those intense intervals. This specific capri-style legging is versatile as it also works great for running since the exposed calf invites extra air for cooling and avoids bunching up at the knee. Brooklyn Decker's top pick for leggings is Reebok! She says she owns ten pairs. "With leggings, your focus isn't on your legs and how they look. It's on comfort." 1 / 5 Perfect for Yoga What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lululemon Challenge Pant ($108) These close-fitting leggings are sure to provide you with the best flexibility for downward dog and happy baby! This garment is far from the typical jersey legging material, so it won't fall down or ride up on you. It's made with Lululemon's silverescent luon, which is the newest member of the luon family. Do you sweat a lot? The material is known for its anti-stink and anti-static properties. Hot yoga does not stand a chance against these valuable leggings! 2 / 5 Perfect For Pilates What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Zobha Hi-Rise Foldover Legging ($84) Unlike regular-waist leggings, these give you a valuable high-rise silhouette. The aerial style is perfect to keep your core warm during major abdominal exercises in your Pilates class. It's an especially important thing to take note of during these cold winter months! The fold-over option is perfect if you want to turn the fit into a mid-rise style. Flexibility for stretching is crucial to an effective Pilates workout, and it can be difficult to attain this with loose-fitting bottoms. The leggings are made with superior shape retention, which call off any chance of a frumpy, baggy knee. 3 / 5 Perfect For Running What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nike Tech Women's Running Tights ($52) These sweat-wicked running leggings enable zero distraction — which may be one of the worst things pavement pounders face — because they won't bunch up or sag in any way. Whether you're on the treadmill or running outside, the vented hem with a zipper at the ankle is a faultless feature for any runner. The rubbery material keeps the leggings from rolling up, and the option exposure allows you to cool off in just the right amounts. 4 / 5 Perfect For Kickboxing What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Under Armour Women's UA Base 1.0 Legging ($40) Kickboxing ranks as one of the more vigorous workouts because of the constant intensity and intervals. The use of various equipment such as a bag stand, forearm shield, boxing gloves or ankle weights all heighten the likelihood of any collision on your body. To avoid this, these Under Armour leggings are essential to a fun, safe session of butt kicking. They're specifically designed to reduce abrasion in high impact areas of your body. Plus, their style kicks butt! 6 / 5 0 6 12 0 0 Read More Story SwapKickboxingFitness GearSelfCommunityLeggingsYogaRunningFitness fitness gear 3 Outdoor Workout Items to Add to Your Spring Routine 1 day ago 5 Goods You Need to Rock an Outdoor Fitness Routine 2 days ago Celebrate Earth Day by Giving Your Old Fitness Gear New Life 2 days ago Om For the Earth!

Breakfast is served until 9AM during the week and one of the days we went out about 8:40am and they was nothing and they were not replenishing it, that was a little disappointing.Food choices for the breakfast was great, the only problem was that the hotel was quite busy over the weekend and the food was not replenished once it ran out. We had to ask for bread to make toast. This is a great hotel, staff is great, maid is awesome, very clean and centrally located. Will definitely stay here again. ... more

The best thing about this hotel was the staff being polite.
We rented two rooms and both bathrooms was not clean, there was hair, rubberbands, and open shampoo packets in the tubs. We paid for a Jacuzzi tub and it didnt even work. The tv stopped working after a few minutes.Ive stayed at this hotel twice and both times was disappointing, the bathroom tile was busted, the Jacuzzi tub didnt work, the tubs were dirty, the sheets hadnt been chaanged in one room, there was a cup of spit tobacco in the bathroom.

Hotel staff was very friendly and very accommodating. In the morning the staff saw we couldn't stay for breakfast so they made sure we had a breakfast to go bag. The hotel was clean.

After getting my hands on White 2, I made it all the way to Virbank City and PokeStar Studios. Needless to say, I had a ball with shooting movies.
Then I got to thinking of some possible ways to incorporate PokeStar Studios into my work:
--expanded versions of the in-game flicks
--new scripts in new genres in the spirit of the existing ones
--the existing characters taking a stab at being a movie star
Do you plan to use PokeStar Studios in your work?

We loved our stay in the Orange apartment. The pictures do not do it justice. It is comfortable and accommodated our group of 2 couples perfectly. The location is amazing, under a minute walk from both the Duomo and Il Campo. It is a noisy location, but somehow that didn't seem to matter. Should we ever find ourselves traveling to Siena again, we will definitely look to renting this space, and will recommend it to others.
Appartement idéalement placé au cœur de Sienne, confortable et fonctionnel.
Amedeo et Francesca répondent rapidement aux messages et sont ponctuels aux rendez-vous d'arrivée et de départ.
A recommander.
We came to Amadeo's Apt on dec 23rd, our family of 5 (hubby, 2 kids and my sister) stayed in Red apt, a lovely, nice, very convenience and exactly the same with the picture (even bigger than we thought). Close to everywhere, Amadeo told us where to park (free) our car and everything in small portion is already there. Did not have to buy salt, sugar, coffee (they even provided 2 capsules for the coffee machine for us), olive oil, balsamic, pepper were provided.
They have washing machine and dryer which are very helpful for us. Location, walking distance to every interesting place. 1 minute walking to a very nice bakery, resto/bistro/pizzaria are everywhere... We love staying there and will stay in Red apt again!!..
Thanks Amadeo,
Ciao, Jenny and family
We had a wonderful week's stay in the Orange Apartment, Siena. The apartment was nicely decorated, clean and spacious. It was very well equipped and comfortable. The situation was perfect (very close to the Piazza del Campo). The view of San Domenico from the front door of the apartment was stunning. Since we were attending a wedding in the Palazzo Pubblico and then at the Church - Santissima Annunziata we were even more delighted with our choice of accommodation for this special event as it offered us so much that suited our specific needs.
A negative criticism - no working hairdryer in apartment and A warning - there can be some noise from the street at night.
BUT ......Have already recommended the Orange Apartment to friends
What a gorgeous apartment! The photos on the site, just don't do it justice - it is SO much better in real life! Perfect location, has absolutely everything you would need. The main bedroom is HUGE! and the kitchen and dining/living room is very spacious as well. Francesca was an amazing host and there to help us whenever we needed. Because the cathedral is right out the front door, be prepared to have lots of people outside all the time. We didn't mind though :) It wasn't the quietest place, as the road underneath would become fairly busy from 6am - this might concern some people, but we were ok with it!
So close to everything, bars, restaurants, shopping, gelati!
All in all - definitely recommend.
We booked the orange apartment for a week. The two bathrooms and spacious living room made it perfect for us (2 couples) travelling together. The location couldn't have been better. We loved our local cafe for morning coffees - just 20 metres up the road. The view of the church as we came out the front door was just gorgeous. The central location did mean it was noisy (street noise, music and neighbour's roller doors!). Amadeo was extremely helpful in the lead up to our stay and during. He was prompt to respond to our questions and very happy to help. We loved Siena.
Dear Bianca, Thank you for your kind review. The apartment is located in the heart of Siena, one minute walking from the Cathedral and on a street where many tourists stop to take pictures of the view of San Domenico church. I hope to have you again at our properties, it has been a great pleasure meeting You.
We stayed in the Red Apartment with our family if five in late September. Amedeo came to meet us after we were lost trying to arrive by car in Siena. He was very kind and helped us get settled in the apartment. The apartment is located in the best location. It is within the city walls but on the edge so it is very quiet. Easy access to everything, only a few minutes walk to piazza campo and grocery and shopping. Perfect! We also spent three days sailing on Free Will. A great experience , great sailing, fantastic skipper. We can't wait to go again. Amedeo called to say goodbye before we left the sailboat. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.
We stayed for 2 nights in Amadeo's apartment and it was great.
The place is very clean, has a huge bathroom and is equiped with everything you could possibly need.
It is situated in a very quiet area, 10 min by foot from the Piazza del Campo, just off the main street.
You can find a public parking at 1 min away from the apartment, free Sundays and weeknights after 8pm.
Overall, a very pleasant experience.
And Siena is wonderful!
Very nice stay in Siena, the apartment is very nice, fresh during the summer, very well located next to the main places to see. The garden is very pleasant. Many thanks to Amedeo !!
wonderful apartment ! very well located, next to the city centre but in a very quiet area with a supermarket, groceries, bakeries and everything to buy food or to eat within a 3-minute walk. The apartment itself is really nice: well organised, furniture is simple and elegant, kitchen is convenient and can be hidden behind slivering doors which allows to enjoy a proper living room. You can even admire the sunset from the windows.
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

This mat smells toxic
Dana from Bradenton, FL– Verified Buyer
This playmat looks good and the colors are nice BUT it smells toxic. I put it in my son's room and immediately noticed the horrible smell. The smell filled the entire room. I put the mat in the garage to air out, hoping that the smell would dissipate; however, it still smells and it has been 2 weeks. The packaging says that there is no odor, but that is not true.
Attractive and sturdy
As mom from Oakland, CA– Verified Buyer
I got this mat to create a play area for my little guy on our hardwood floor. It is really cute and easy to clean, and the pieces are pretty sturdy. But it is easy for my six-month old to pull the whole thing apart. This activity does keep him busy which is great, but then I seem to spend lots of time putting it back together! Overall a good purchase but I may need to get a rug soon.

School Spotlight
Whether you're on your way to the library or stopping by City Hall, chances are you're driving by St. John Vianney School, located in the heart of Brookfield. This blog will provide insight into life and education at SJV, a 4K-8 educational anchor in Brookfield since 1957.
Hang Tough
Four of SJV students, Steve Yoss, Nick Veling, Jack Sandstrom, Alex Dorff, were recently chosen as finalists in the Time Warner Cable's Hang Tough video contest. As the four boys were writing their script titled "Bullying Stinks" and discussing some of their ideas, SJV students Mallory O'Halloran and Kirsten Siladi commented on how inspired they felt by the theme and how they thought it was great that the boys were writing their script. When "Bullying Stinks" was chosen as a finalist and the SJV scriptwriters realized that didn't have any girls to fill the two girl roles, the boys asked Mallory and Kirsten to join them in filming their public safety announcement! It's great to see SJV students involved in enouraging other students to lead productive and healthy lives. Watch the "Bullying Stinks" video -- along with the nineteen other video finalists any time on your schedule on WIsconsin on Demand (WIoD) Digital Channel 1111.
Holy Week
On Wednesday, March 19 at 2 p.m. the students of St. John Vianney School, led by CHAMPS (the student council) prayed The Stations of the Cross while dramatizing each station. Seventh and Eighth grade students took on the role of Jesus, Mary, Veronica, Simon, Judas and Roman soldiers in dress and demeanor. Each station was acted, then the actors froze in place while the prayer of each station was meditated. This was a unique opportunity for our students to experience and learn the significance and meaning of each station.
Throughout the week, the SJV students have been involved throughout the church's observance of Holy Week as altar servers, instrumentalists, ushers and choir members.
Here's a schedule of the remaining Holy Week masses:
SJV Teacher Wins Radio Award
Jill Fischer, one of our fourth grade teachers, was recently awarded prizes for being B93.3's February "Teacher of the Month" Air personality Julie Davidson read two award nominations from the Greco and Reuteman school families. Every month B93.3 awards a local teacher with great prizes including a Target gift card for school supplies from Layton State Bank, a certificate from BBC Lighting, a certificate for fine desserts from Suzy's Cream Cheesecakes and a plaque from RCB Awards in Wauwatosa.

Editor's note: Journal Junction offers the public a forum to applaud successes, discuss issues, point out problems and review the events of the day in a constructive manner. Journal Junction comments should be limited to two to four sentences and be no longer than 80 words. Longer comments should be submitted as "Letters to the Editor,"?which is a separate forum. The Journal's classified ads section offers help to those with lost or found items. This is a sampling of comments received today. Any others, subject to editing, are published in the online Journal Junction at www.journal-news.net under opinions.
From Martinsburg:
Let the gays marry. Once they find out they can't have children, they will eventually die out. That is assuming that the scientists are correct in that genetics play a factor in whether or not somebody is gay. Darwin's Theory of Evolution and Survival of the Fittest would prevent the "gay gene" from propagating.
From Martinsburg:
If the IRS is such an onerous burden and such an affront to right-thinking citizens because of its documented excesses and poor oversight, why am I not reading editorials by The Journal demanding the immediate ouster from the state of the IRS's mega-complex in Kearneysville? West Virginia's grown quite good at condemning government, while living off the benefits that it provides, and it gets a greater share than many other states.
From Charles Town:
The idea of someone from Frederick questioning the number of "vacant and run down homes" in Charles Town is pretty laughable. You might want to take a little look around your own town, pal.
From East Berkeley County:
The danger we face everyday is auto accidents, not terrorist attacks. The major cause of them is texting while driving, 28 times more than DWI. It takes a court order for a traffic cop to obtain those records, as it should. Shouldn't it take the feds the same to look at our communications? They've proven they can't see the trees for the forest. It would save countless lives if this scenario were reversed.
From Martinsburg:
In response to yesterday's comment concerning the nonprofit group Friends of Happy Retreat: The group is still meeting monthly and actively attempting to acquire the funding to purchase the home. The owners of the house are hopeful the Friends will be able to do so.
From Martinsburg:
The "government can do no right, especially the Postal Service" crowd that haunts the Journal Junction should stop and acknowledge one thing that's perfect: The new West Virginia postage stamp honoring the state's sesquicentennial is just gorgeous. Buy one of these well-done stamps (brought to you by your government) and write someone a nice letter and, for a change, dispense with all of the negativity that feeds upon itself in the Junction.
From Martinsburg:
Paula Deen's empire crumbles because many years ago she uttered the "n" word. Meanwhile, Anthony Weiner is on track to become the next mayor of New York City. Only in what used to be America!

Home → 21st Century Community Learning Centers
21st Century Community Learning Centers
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program was established by Congress as Title IV, Part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The passage of the Public Law 107-110, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 significantly amended the ESEA to expand state and local accountability and flexibility and to stress the adoption of research-based practice, substantially changing the 21st Century Communities Learning Center program.
The purpose of Maine's 21st CCLC program is to establish or extend "Community Learning Centers" that provide students, (primarily those who are not meeting learning results) with academic support and enrichment opportunities designed to complement their regular academic program. These centers must link to the local school administrative unit's (SAU's) comprehensive education plan that is aligned with the system of Maine Learning Results, focused on the learning of all students and oriented to continuous improvement.
21st Century Community Learning Centers must also offer the families of these students literacy and related educational development services. Centers, which can be located in elementary or secondary schools or other similarly accessible facilities, provide a range of high-quality services to support student learning and development, including tutoring and mentoring, homework help, academic enrichment (such as hands-on math, science or technology programs), health and safety education, cultural enrichment, and parent and family engagement. Centers also help working parents by providing a safe environment for students when school is not in session.

Bachelorette 7
Posted 23 May 2011 - 09:46 AM
She was finishing up dental school in Philadelphia when she went on the Bachelor with Brad.
Hope she does well!
Posted 23 May 2011 - 01:42 PM
I already looked at spoilers from another site, but I still plan on checking this show out. Ashley wouldn't have been my first choice for Bachelorette, simply b/c she didn't seem that entertaining the first time around. But hopefully it'll be interesting with her own show.
Posted 23 May 2011 - 07:40 PM
Posted 24 May 2011 - 09:02 AM
I don't get how you keep a guy who you've heard is coming in with the wrong intentions, you keep him, just because he looks good to you and seems to be smooth, hello, then it looks like down the road she is fallin for this creep and cryin, I have no sympathy, of course it prolly is the editing, but I would have kicked Bently to the curb immeadiately, Ashley is stupid for keeping this idiot, the show really seems fake
One of the guys said he hoped The Bachelorette was Emily - was it Bentley that said that?
Posted 24 May 2011 - 09:37 AM
Posted 07 June 2011 - 08:11 AM
Posted 13 June 2011 - 08:14 PM
The biggest clue always is that the guy selected will never be shown having any serious flaws.
Posted 13 June 2011 - 10:48 PM
Yes, it was Bentley who said that. And of course she was gonna keep him around. He's the catalyst for the drama to come.
I just finished the first episode and I can easily predict that he is "that guy" that is on every bachelorette that is a mole for the producers. Ashly is fully aware that his role is to create drama; they have one every season. Remember Frank who confessed he was still in love with x-girl friend? And then there was the Pro Wresler with fake broken leg. Wouldn't surprise me one bit that she & Bently meet with the producers during the filming to discuss how things are to play out. Their time together is clearly fake\scripted. As I stated in my previous post, and many posts in prior seasons, there is no more than 4 guys on the show that any real chance of being the last man standing, all the rest are there for the sole purpose of helping the season get good ratings. Seriously, each of one was selected for what drama (or humor) they can bring to the show, not because they seriously have any chance of marrying the Bachelorette. And I have a high degree of confidence that Ashly pre-screened on video the real guys, thus helping the producers select the guys she was willing to date seriously. The rest the producers pick so that each guy can be dumped by the bachelorette at some point during the season.

....and the whole Bentley drama, what a load of crap that was. Surely nobody buys any of that garbage. In real time she's only know the guy for about two weeks, and not really spent all the much time with him, not even one date, but somehow she's crying like like they been together for a couple of years and he is walking out in her. And her acting is not all that great either. And Oh OH, having fake rain as he drive away makes the entire episode borderline parody of itself.

What about his reputation ? From some articles posted it looks like that's down the tubes.
Posted 15 June 2011 - 05:49 AM
I do believe there are a few guys that are there for real, and when they go out on dates their comments and reactions are real, but the producers are inserting a lot of bogus drama scripted for several of the other guys... included the Masked guy who always had the Phantom of the Opera music playing in the background...lol
I went back and watched the parts of the first episodes, and during the previews of future episodes, they do show Bentley returning and hooking up with Ashlyh again.... Let me guess\predict, they make the audience think they hook up for a night of intense sex that blows her mind, and in the morning he dumps her saying "Thanks. Maybe I'll call ya some time..." And she spends the rest of episode crying about how he was the man of her dreams, but treats her like trash after the best sex she ever had... BUT THEN..... her REAL TRUE love appears, the man who she will select at the very end, and he says\does all the right things to make her fall in love with a REAL MAN of her dreams. <Barf, Barf, Barf>....

Personally, I think Ashly is included with what the producers are doing than we know about. I think she does get to see some of the footage of what the guys are saying behind her back, not all the footage, but enough that so she can determine for herself who is for real, and who is not. Those guys who get a thumbs down by her are then targeted for future elimination, which also means they are likely to become pawns of the producers that put them into no win situations that create drama. If two guys hate each other, then there is a good chance those two guys are going find themselves in producer created situations where drama is going to happen. And they all are cast because they are either 1) natural odds balls in their every days lives, or 2) they know the producers are looking for great drama so they feed into the camera.
The only guys that are safe, are the ones who have not been targeted for elimination, which also means, there is truly only one guy that remains safe until the end. One by one, guys that seemed normal and marriage material in the first couple of episodes are later shown to have serious flaws\qwerts\insecurities\etc that are major "turns offs" to pretty much everyone who watches the show. But the producers design it that way, if Ashly is not interested in a truly great guy that many women would like to date, they simply zero in on one (or more) of his personality flaws and magnify it as if the flaw is far worse, gross, offensive, etc . Instead of just "he sometimes forgets to put the seat down after using the toilet" they twist it into "he never flushes or ever washes his hands, and then goes cooks dinner". The first one reflects his true personality, the second reflects his reality TV personality.

This week Ryan got the last rose, so he now has been targeted for a future elimination. And sinse he not yet had a one-on-one date, he is unlikely to get one, or if he does get an one-on-one date, he won't get a rose at the end of that date. Ryan is a dead man walking.

I really can't say for certian, but I tend to beleive that the producers are intentionally making it over-the-top much in the same way a 12-13 year old girl would that has a really bad crush who just can't stop thinking and talking about the super hunk 14 year old boy she recently met. Without even knowing him or talking to him other than to say "hi", she imagines a perfect life together where he always does and says the right things. He knows exactly what to do when she is happy, sad, angry, frustrated, etc. He is Prince Charming, and she doesn't know anything about him, she just thinks he is "Super Cute"... But of course, Prince Charming turns out to be more like Prince Charming in Sherk 2.

When he got to the old junkyard, he found a bus that was in pretty good shape to be in a junkyard. He went to the side of the bus and what he thought were paint splatters on the side of the bus were really blood. Still thinking it was paint he opened what was left of the doors on the double decker bus and got in. There was not a speck of dust on the dash and that really creeped him out but he just thought it was a newer bus to be coming in. When he got in, he took a look around and there was no dust anywhere and he thought it was newer than he originally thought.
When he sat in the driver's seat, the keys were still in the ignition, like it had been running the whole time it was there. He pushed in the clutch and turned the key. It started with black smoke coming from the hood. But what he didn't know when he turned the key was what he let a ghost that had been sleeping in there of over 50 years. The ghost's name was Areo Witter, and he was an old boxer who won 14 state championships, then just disappeared.
Robi bought the bus to surprise his parents and was going to wash it up and make it look nice but he could not get off the paint splatters. He got some bleach and a white rag and it worked, but not for long. Soon his blood will be on the side of the bus.
When he got done cleaning it, he got back on the bus and saw a piece of paper on the floor so he went back there to get it and he saw blood coming from his foot. His foot had been chopped off and he didn't even know it. Then he felt a horrible pain coming from his back. He felt it and found a huge gash in his back. He wondered where he had got these. Then he saw a hatchet on the floor. Then he ran out to get help and he saw nobody. Then all of the sudden he was pushed up against the side of the bus and he was whacked on top of the head. And legend has it his angry spirit still haunts that bus.
The end.

Diner Reviews
My husband is gluten free and it
is hard to find Italian restaurants that offer gluten free options. This place is on barracks row right off the eastern market metro station. It is a perfect location with great indoor and outdoor seating. The pasta is made in house (gluten free included) and all ingredients are sourced from local farms. The ravioli with a range free egg was delicious! And my husband loved the rigatoni pesto so much we went back again 2 days later before leaving from DC. Definitely stop by and try this restaurant if you are in the area. "

A truly disappointing and
lackluster brunch. Nice waitress, and we were seated promptly. But you can get much better food for the same price at other places in DC, if you're looking for a nice bottomless brunch. I'd go elsewhere."
Dined on 4/13/2014
We had a great dinner. They were
very accommodating to my gluten and dairy free needs. The food and service was outstanding."
Dined on 4/13/2014
Great food! Not all that many
gluten-free choices. And delicious bloody marys!"

I've been to Lavagna for brunch
several times, and the food never disappoints. Everything is fresh and apparently made in-house. It's always crowded though, so make a reservation!"

The food was fresh and delicious.
They cook with local ingredients and have a good wine list. It's a nice date-night restaurant."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Pricey, mediocre food. Friendly
staff and a nice interior. Went for brunch."
Dined on 4/5/2014
I've eaten here before and I
remembered it as pretty good. Farm to table cuisine, nice menu, affordable. But this time our brunch for 7 people was disappointing. The waitress highly recommended the spaghetti carbonara, and seriously it was almost inedible. Overcooked pasta, way too heavy, and overly salty. But beyond that single dish, everyone's meal was just not that good tasting. Possibly an off day? Or a restaurant that has let it's quality slide considerably. To her credit, the waitress was lovely and she took the pasta off the tab (and offered something else in its place). But beware of this one."
Dined on 3/16/2014
Since bottomless brunch is a
popular thing in DC now, its easy to say that Lavagne falls short. The food is mediocre, and they have a time limit on your drinks. In 90 minutes I got 4 mimosas, because our server was slow and was taking advantage of the fact that he would be receiving an automatic gratuity for a large table. We asked to be seated near another large party, and the restaurant was not accommodating, instead we got attitude. The ridiculous part is, there was an empty large table right next to us, that was not seated until we were paying our bill. If you have a time limit on brunch anyway, why wouldn't you seat us with a party who also had a reservation at the same time? At least our food came out fast!"
Dined on 3/15/2014
A small group of us were out for
dinner and decided to try something new. So glad we did. Place was mostly full but not overpacked. Ambiance was good, but nothing to write home about. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Then came the food. The fantastic food. Fresh homemade pasta made my wife and I feel like we were back in Italy. The desserts were almost as good. The panna cotta and tiramisu were both remarkably good. My only complaint was I ate too much."
Dined on 3/7/2014
Met a couple of out-of-town
friends for dinner at Lavagna based on internet reviews, and it did not disappoint. The food was great - and different! Locally sourced, handmade - we ordered an appetizer sampler of cheese and meats that was awesome. The meal itself was likewise delicious and I love that you can order a half portion and forego the doggy bag. Bottles of wine also happened to be on sale when we were there, which made for a convivial evening. Finally, two of the three people in our party got lost on the way there, and were quite late in arriving, but the wait staff was very patient and pleasant and did not write us off as losers despite our tardiness. The atmosphere was just the right amount of lively but not too loud."
Dined on 2/25/2014
All my friends rave about
LaVagna's brunch, but when I brought my friends our food all came cold and two in our group had to wait (and the waitress advised us against waiting for everyone to have food. Then a friend unsatisfied with her meal and tried to order something else she was met with a waitress who dumped replacement sides on her plate...interesting experience for sure. As for the bottomless mimosas, we found a few bottoms but they were delicious!"

This was a great place to connect
with friends. Food was very good, service was great, beverage options were plentiful, all at a great price."

Great service backed up by great
food. The bottomless mimosa special was a great value and the servers always kept the glasses full. More outdoor patio seating would be nice, but that's a limitation they cannot control."
Dined on 2/23/2014
The pancakes were absolutely
delicious and the bottomless mimosa deal for brunch is great!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
It was okay. Nothing to write home
about. The mimosas have Triple Sec in them, which is new. The service was good, not great. The food was good, not great. It was 3 stars, just average."

As always, dining experience was
wonderful at Lavagna. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. I've been here more than a handful of times and have always had a great experience."

I had a large group for brunch to
celebrate my birthday and we were given a great table out of the way if the other diners, which we appreciated. Our mimosa glasses were never empty, and we enjoyed the food."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Love this place for brunch. They
have a back area that is perfect for larger groups (we had 8). The food is locally sourced and the bottomless mimosas are fabulous. One of my favorite brunch places."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Been there twice. Both experiences
were great. Food was delicious."
Dined on 2/8/2014
The restaurant already has us a
little biased because they make it clear that all of the food comes from local farms (which they list out for you) and everything is cooked from scratch in house. In addition, their food was excellent as well. My girlfriend and I had an appetizer plate of meats and cheeses, which were fantastic (hormone free meat and free range chicken) as were the side ingredients they put with it, which included: bacon jam, house made mustard, and apple butter. My girlfriend and I each had pasta dishes which were fantastic. We also had two desserts, nutella mousse and tiramisu, both of which were also great. Prices were reasonable and considering the quality of food you received, well worth it."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Found this place to be slightly
less traveled than the other places in Eastern Market, it still filled up but wasn't overflowing. We had made a reservation and were seated right away, the service was unbelievably fast and we had a very pleasant meal. This was my first brunch experience in the area so I can't compare it to anywhere else, but I'd definitely recommend it and will probably be back soon."
Dined on 2/2/2014
This is a real gem. The food is
good. The pastas are fresh and eclectic. The plates are not oversized and tasteless. They are a perfect portion. I had the squid ink pasta and seafood dish. The pasta was excellent, the calamari was perfectly cooked, not rubber and the shrimp was fresh. This sauce was not my mom's but it was a very good version. Definitely as must try. The wine list is very well thought out and not overly priced."
Dined on 1/31/2014
I arrived before my friends and
was seated between two tables of obnoxiously loud girls. Whether it was the mimosas or just their personalities, I'm not sure. But the food was excellent and our waitress was on the same page about the other tables. I would come back again, but I would be more selective about table placement."
Dined on 1/25/2014
I have been to Lavagna for dinner
and brunch. The dinner waitstaff were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, you can definitely tell it's from scratch and fresh. Large portions perfect for sharing in order to try a couple different things. Unfortunately, the waitress we had for brunch was very rude and rushed us to order, to eat and to pay the bill. With a better waitress, I would say this is a top 10 DC brunch spot out of my experiences with delicious food, bottomless mimosas (for 90 minutes but it's enough!) and a very pleasant open air atmosphere. Can't wait to go back (and hopefully have a calmer waitress!)"
Dined on 1/26/2014
We visited Lavagna for brunch
after we saw it recommended in a popular local brunch blog. Imagine our surprise when we were handed the menus and saw the words "Bottomless Mimosas - 90 min limit" printed on the menu! We asked our server about this, and he said that they had a lot of bookings that day, so they decided to put that on the menu to turn the tables more quickly. Somehow, I don't think this is the best way to make your guests feel welcome, especially during what's supposed to be a leisurely weekend meal with friends. As for the food, it was nicely presented but was served on the warm-to-cold side. All in all, not putting their best foot forward, and given that they just wanted us in and out, I can't recommend the restaurant."
Dined on 1/19/2014
A friend and I had a glorious
evening at Lavagna this past Saturday. Both females, we ordered the half portions and split the delicious Brussels sprouts. We each had a glass of wine and my friend had a coupon for a complimentary dessert. That said, and splitting the bill, we each only spent a little over $30 including tip. The noise level was minimal. The service was focused but not looming. The pasta was idea. Street parking was a bit of a trick but worth circling a few times to dine at this gem."
Dined on 1/25/2014
I've lived on the hill for ten
years now, and I can honestly say this was the worst dining experience I have had in that time. We took the server's advice and ordered the ravioli and duck breast. One hour and 25 minutes later we got our entrees. During that time all the tables around us were seated, fed, and cashed out. When our bill finally came there wade no discount and no apology from the owner or manager. $90 for a meal we could have made ourselves. NEVER going back..."
Dined on 1/24/2014
The food itself is incredibly
fresh and you do live up to your locally sourced philosophy. That said, I think you should be a little better at tailoring your menu for more seasonally appropriate fare. It is unwise to market a fresh fruit plate in the dead of an East Coast winter which is still in the throes of a cold cycle. For the price point you set, you gave your customers unripened grapes, sour apples, and oranges of questionable quality when a variety of other satisfying and locally available fruits could have been offered (check the Eastern Market Farmer's Market right up the road). Your food is generally top-notch, so my disappointment in the offering was immense."
Dined on 12/22/2013
Food was terrible. Went for brunch
with a group of people, eggs were cold, they said they were out of bacon. It seems like they can't really accommodate large groups."

I went to lavagna for restaurant
week. I work near barrack's row but had never tried this place before. The food was wonderful. Service was excellent. It wasn't crowded so conversation at a table for 2 was easy. I went for lunch so it was not the full menu but I was not at all disappointed with the choices offered. I will definitely go back."

Very good service and very

If you like homemade pasta using
locally farmed sources--you are in for a treat with Lavagna! The pasta is amazing and the portions are generous. The best deal is lunch--but we have enjoyed some outstanding dinners and a their brunch is spectacular!"

I love Lavanga, especially on
restaurant week. I appreciated that the whole menu was available; the steak was perfectly cooked and the scallops are to die for! Really love the quality of the food and how consistent my every visit is. Our service was a bit slow at first but the floor manager was definitely doing his job and helping out his wait staff. I later learned that they were a waiter short so I'm definitely impressed by how they handled the FOH. Good wine service, the food runners all knew the seat numbers, no mix-ups, and the food was cooked in a timely manner. Great BOH and FOH coordination. Thank you!"
Dined on 1/15/2014
My boyfriend and I decided to try
this restuarant after we saw it on the Restaurant Week menu. We were skeptical at first but, when we sat down and got our appetizer, we realized what a great choice I made! The appetizer was great so we were excited to get our next course. I ordered the NY Strip and he ordered the duck. I thoroughly enjoyed my steak but, my boyfriend fell in love with the duck. We have eaten at a lot of different restaurants and he raved about the food here. We will definitely be back!"
Dined on 1/14/2014
I really like their food, and I
want to love this restaurant because I've heard so many good things. But, this time the food, though delicious, was brought to below room temperature. My boyfriend and I were with friends from out of town, and didn't want to say anything in case their food was fine."

I chose to make a reservation to
brunch at Lavagna for New Years Day, and I did not regret my decision. We arrived on time for our reservation, but we not seated for 45 minutes... The only downside to our experience. They should have anticipated that people would want to take their time on New Years Day, because that long of a wait is unacceptable with a reservation. Fortunately the rest of our experience was worth the wait. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful, and even the busy busboys were very pleasant. I ordered the arugula omelet, which was perfect, as were the truffled breakfast potatoes. The food all around was excellent, as was the coffee. It was also prompt, which was a relief given we waited for such a long time to be seated."
Dined on 1/1/2014
Went to their NYE dinner with a
special menu so this experience may be due to the holiday. It took about 45 min to get our 1st course, and an hour for our 2nd course (the scallops/pasta dishes were very tasty though). While for NYE the timing should be more laid back, it seemed they forgot about us by not replacing removed silverware and serving us much slower than others. After the 2nd course we were told that they were out of the filet mignons we ordered, and gave us a substitute pork dish and a bad sirloin steak cut. The steak was meh, the pork decent. The tiramisu was warm and underwhelming. The manager did make the experience right by giving us a free round of drinks/half off 2/4 meals, but I was not impressed overall."
Dined on 12/31/2013
I'm big on brunches, and Lavagna
brunch was absolutely amazing! The bacon was to die for- seriously, if you are a bacon lover you HAVE to order it. They cure the bacon at the restaurant and it is just wow. I had the eggs florentine and it was perfectly cooked. Overall I highly highly recommend this place!"

New System Automatically Updates Weekly Insulin Dosage for Better Glycemic Control with Fewer Hypoglycemic EventsPosted: Tuesday, May 22, 2012
Newly published results from a clinical study of the Diabetes Insulin Guidance System (DIGS), demonstrate DIGS' potential to improve blood glucose control for insulin-using patients with type 2 or type 1 diabetes....
DIGSTM automatically adjusted insulin dosage based on each individual's reported blood glucose results. Over the 12-week intervention period of the study, investigators observed:
The published study, took place at the International Diabetes Center at Park Nicollet, Minneapolis, MN under the direction of principal investigator, Richard M. Bergenstal, MD.
Ultimately, most patients with type 2 diabetes and all patients with type 1 diabetes require insulin therapy. However, despite the availability of a variety of insulin formulations and treatment regimens, most insulin users do not achieve an optimal glycemic target (e.g. HbA1c<7%) and are thus at increased risk of developing complications of diabetes. Over the years, multiple clinical studies have shown that frequent insulin dosage titration is a key element for achieving and maintaining good glycemic control, with physicians or other diabetes experts contacting patients every few days or weeks to make dosage adjustments. Unfortunately, implementation of such frequent insulin titration in day-to-day clinical practice has been hindered by a lack of sufficient medical expertise as well as limited time for frequent health care provider contact.

There is going to be an ACC restaurant
Pining for the chance to eat airport ceviche? Sure, we all are, and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport is here to help. It's partnering with the Atlantic Coast Conference to create a real place called the "ACC American Café."

Jason Kirk and Martin Rickman ran about as far with this as it should be humanly possible to go. We assume the whole list is excellent, but passed out from sheer mirth at some point around "Raycomdiments." We look forward to making a weekend of it on our next visit to the Tar Heel State with a dining tour that stops here and the Charlotte airport's Stock Car Café.
