Bacon-Wrapped Beef Patties
"I found this in a local newspaper 25 years ago when I was a newlywed," recalls Lana Maskus of Wright, Kansas. "My husband raved about, and I have served it at least once a month ever since. My daughter took the recipe with her to college and uses it frequently. These are also good when cooked on an outdoor grill," she adds.
6 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
6 bacon strips
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup crushed saltines
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
Place bacon on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towels. Cover
with another paper towel; microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until
cooked but not crisp.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, saltines, onion, salt
and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six
patties. Wrap bacon strips around patties; secure with toothpicks.
Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and
mustard. Turn patties; top with ketchup mixture. Broil 6-7 minutes
longer or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads

- This is, perhaps, a reference to Dungeons and Dragons in which magic missile is one of the lowest tier spells a wizard starts with. The spell always hits its target, which is perhaps why you can steer the magic missile into any target.
- The Magic Missile displays a particle effect similar to that of the Magic Mirror.
- The Magic Missile gives off faint amounts of light and will not be set off if it comes in contact with pots, making it ideal for underground and above ground cave exploration.
- The Magic Missile caused every player to crash (except if the host uses it, he or she will not crash) on the console versions as of release.Console(Fixed)
- Because the cursor can go anywhere on the screen, you can use it to access chests or interact with items from far away, even off the screen.
- In the iOS version of Terraria controlling the missile will continue to create more missiles at the expense of using more mana. This makes the missile an effective high-damage weapon.
Update Info
- New sprite
- Speed of projectile increased.
- Instead of disappearing, the projectile now launches upon releasing the mouse button.
- Damage decreased from 32 to 22.
- Mana per shot reduced from 16 to 10.
- Introduced.

Worth Magazine Cuts Staff As Financial Advertising Falls
Worth has an estimated total readership of 250,000. Worth's bread and butter is financial advertising which has declined with the stock market. Sandow Media also publishes New Beauty and the regional LUXE magazines. Those titles are said to be stronger than Worth which focuses primarily on the financial/investing sector.

Super Fly
Problem: Another could've-been-great fishing day ruined by waterlogged tackle. Solution: The AquaFly Flybox. The 6 ¾ "-by-4"-by-2" tacklebox fits snugly in your palm, and its textured exterior makes it easy to grip. Impact-resistant plastic protects your flies from UV rays and prevents the box's outer shell from yellowing or cracking. With its outer shell tightly sealed to the inner foam at all four sides, the box shields your flies from water and weather damage, and its hinge pins resist rust. Bonus: It floats. Price: $34. Contact AquaFly at 415/922-1163, www.aquafly.com.
Climate Control
Want to know what's going on where the fish gather? Through a transmitter attached to a Cannon Mag 20DT downrigger cable, the Cannon Speed-N-Temp measures the water conditions around your bait and displays the readings on Bottom Line NCC5300 and 6500 fishfinders. It registers lure depth, bait speed, light intensity, and water temperature. It shuts off after 15 minutes of in-activity, and its nine-volt battery lasts up to 200 hours. Price: $500. Contact Cannon at 208/846-9000, www.cannondownriggers.com.
'Tude Adjustment
We applaud adjustable things, like our favorite pant's expandable waistline, especially after a hearty fish fry. Here's another-the Revomaster S105. It's a variable-pitch propeller designed for outboards from 40 hp to 130 hp or stern drives up to 140 hp. This junior version of the Revomaster S110 features an adjustable control knob, located in the prop's hub, that lets you change its performance to match your needs. Price: $400.
Best of Both
There's no need to sacrifice the big ballgame for a fishing trip with your friends. You can have both with Casio's SY-30 portable TV. Water and shock resistant, this handheld boob tube can endure all your bumps, drops, and pitches. Watch your team bring it home on the 2.7", color antiglare screen and plug in the headphones so the crowd's cheers don't frighten the fish. If the kids are coming along, add a VCR or DVD player and their favorite videos and enjoy uninterrupted fishing. It's battery operated, but you can opt for an AC adapter. Price: $180. Contact Casio at 800/ 962-2746, www.casio.com.

You can see, hear, feel, and sometimes even smell, the history throughout Massachusetts. Check out the very rock where the Pilgrims landed, and visit Plimoth Plantation to see what life was like in the 1600's, before cell phones and reality TV. Walk the Freedom Trail in downtown Boston, where every step tells a story of the American Revolution. Hear the famous "shot heard round the world" on Lexington Green, where the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired. Get goose bumps sitting where giants in the abolitionist movement sat in the brilliantly restored African American Meeting House. Feel the hull of Old Ironsides, otherwise known as the USS Constitution. What did the 1830's smell like? Apparently awesome, according to the bread they're baking and the candles they're dipping over at Old Sturbridge Village, one of the country's oldest and largest living history museums.

Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
Anyone find any good vintage doll deals? :) I found several....a #6 brunette ponytail for $60....a TNT Julia for $35...and a rare clone playset for $50. I just got my #6 today and she just needs a lip touch up. The rest is on the way. ;)
Yes, isn't it evil, but great to find someone on Ebay that doesn't know what they have? It may sound expensive, but I found a first issue 1963 Black Francie with the Oxidized hair for $225. She was in store stock mint condition. I have read in the doll books she is very rare as she did not sell very well, they only made them for a short while. I have seen people pay over $1000 for this doll.
I also found a number 3 Barbie for a little over $200. I thought I was hallucinating, but she wasn't listed as a #3. When she came...I was so happy to see her ghostly pale milky white skin. I found a TM Commuter set outfit to put her in. She is the center piece of the collection.
I got the original dress for my Twiggy doll from an auction site that uses credit-points instead of money, so I can't quite put a price on it. It came with over a half dozen other outfits, and for the whole bundle I spent what I'd made on auctioning a pair of earrings- not even fancy ones, just some modern costume jewelry.
The Twiggy doll who needed the dress was mistagged at a toy show- the dealer thought it was a Francie with a haircut, another lady looking at the booth gave me the stinkeye for snagging Twiggy for $12.
Kathy, congratulations for getting the Black Francie and the #3. It is amazing to have those rare vintage dolls in your collection.
Allison, that's incredible you got a Twiggy for $12. You lucky son-of-a-gun.

THE JEWISH ADVOCATE FEBRUARY 19, 2010 How Russian Jews in Boston helped transform Israeli lives.

Новый год деревьев (Ту бишват) или новый рецепт от юных кулинаров из Сдерота
[Письмо из Сдерота, Наташа Панаитова] Вы, знаете все-таки странный народ мы евреи. Всё человечество празднует новый год зимой, с ёлками, снежками и всякими там Дед Морозами и Санта Клаусами. Для нас же это обычный рабочий день, и начало нового календарного года. Зато осенью мы отмечаем свой новый год с мёдом и яблоками, а сейчас вот и ту бишват. Это тоже новый год, и мы его празднуем,сажая новые деревья. А как же это наша земля, земля обетованная. Знаете я только в Израиле поняла истинный смысл этих слов. Первую половину своей жизни я провела в Туркмении, жила рядом с пустыней Кара-Кум. И с детства мне было понятно, что слово «пустыня» происходит от слова «пусто». Что может расти в пустыне, кроме саксаула? Правда мой город стоял на берегу реки Аму-Дарьи и был относительно зеленным, но мое представление о пустыне никогда не менялось, это от туда дули жаркие ветры с песком и пылью, там были барханы,которые лишь ранней весной покрывались зеленью, да и выживали там только всякие пауки и суслики. Сейчас я живу в Сдероте, который располагается в Негеве, в пустыне Негев. Read More... |

Exclusive Children of Sderot Winter Camp Report and Interview
RJCF's winter camp for 50 Children of Sderot took place during the week of Chanukah vacation in the Nitzana Education Center in the Negev. The camp was a smashing success. Not only were the children taken away for a brief respite from Kassam fire, they took part in nature trips, math and English clubs, and learned about Chanukah and Jewish traditions. Interview with Children of Sderot Winter Camp Counselors' Eliza Zell and Anna Kamenetsky. Read More... |
Restoring normalcy for children of Sderot ["The Jewish Advocate", 9/2/2008]
Last year, when 20 underprivileged children from Sderot, Israel, came to the U.S. to attend camp - 10 campers in Massachusetts, 10 campers in New Hampshire - it was an indicator of the community outreach being made to the helpless children stranded in an embattled city. With the precedent set, an expanded collaboration ensued. Already involved as the host for the Sderot kids attending the Russian School of Mathematics camp in Sunapee, N.H., Inessa Rifkin, camp director and principle of the Russian School of Mathematics's Newton location, was joined by the Russian Jewish Community Foundation's Ary Rotman and Greg Margolin, as well...

Masha Bresner: Camp for Children of Sderot; How We Did It [Sep 1st, 2008]
I am going to be 100% honest with you. The six Americans who took part in the first RJCF camp for the children of Sderot were shocked. We had all worked extensively with children before, but these kids were unlike any we had ever encountered. We had all spent our summers at camp RSM (Russian School of Mathematics) at Sunapee first as campers and then as counselors. This past August, the Russian Jewish Community of Boston raised enough money to found a camp in Israel for the children of Sderot. The six American counsellors, Rimma Pivovarov, Masha Bresner, Liz Rapoport, Michael Wolfson,Vicky Berdichevsky, and Masha Rifkin, who would be the representatives of the community, each raised 2000 dollars before our departure to Israel. We decided that the camp we would be starting in Israel would be similar to the New Hampshire camp we were used to. We would teach them English and math, we would take them on outings with the Israeli Counselors who had spent the year leading children's trips through the Israeli wilderness, we would do our best give them a normal life away from the constant barrage of rocket fire that defined their days in Sderot.

Letter from the Counselors of Camp '08 [Aug 1st, 2008]
Very soon first group of children will come to the summer camp in "Yaar Lavi" in the forests of Golan. This project is being implemented in partnership with the Israeli organization Green Horizons that specializes in outdoor activities for children. The kids will be living in the tents, participate in all kinds of activities that young counselors from Massachusetts thought up for them. The idea of the camp is so popular that our volunteers in Sderot get lots of calls from parents wanting to sign up their kids for this camp. Equally excited are our counselors of this first summer camp. To become a counselor in Sderot camp is a privilege. Young people had not only have special training; they also had to pay their airfare to Israel and for their upkeep there. For that they had to raise money, that is, to advocate for this project and convince people to donate money especially for their trip to Israel. They had to bring the ideas for entertaining and educating Israeli kids. Here is the letter from our counselors to Russian Jewish Community: Read More... |
July'08 update
Letter from Rinat (רינת אלון) Hello Masha, How are you? Over here the weather is hot and the preparations for the camp are going into high gear... Last week Natasha, Sveta and I had a very nice (although wearying) day driving to the north to check the camp site- "YAAR LAVI". We were worried about so many things but as soon as we got there we felt like it`s a wonderful place, and very suitable for our needs. The staff over there was so welcoming and helpful, and the facilities are in a really good shape. I`m attaching a file with some pictures and explanations for you. Read More... |
Masha Rifkin Reports To Russian Jewish Community from Sderot
Dear Everyone, This past month I finally made my way back to Sderot! I had been anxiously waiting for my return trip and practically sprinted off the plane to meet Natasha in Ben Gurion Airport. I have to admit that amidst my utter happiness at being back in the city I had grown to love, there was definitely some negativity. I was scared. Actually tangibly scared. It probably didn't help that as soon as I stepped outside of the airport security rushed me back inside, citing a 'high security alert'. I never did find out what was going on. Nevertheless – during the four months I spent studying in Israel and practically living in Sderot, I was scared sure – but it was almost muffled. I couldn't feel it, it didn't affect me, I just knew that it was there somewhere. Read More... |

The Aurora mALX is arguably the most audacious gaming laptop in Alienware's line-up. Not only is it airbrushed to give it a 'gamer's' aesthetic, but it's also the first laptop to use 1GB of dedicated graphics memory -- giving it arguably the greatest graphics performance seen outside of a high-end gaming rig.
The Alienware Aurora mALX uses a familiar Clevo M590K chassis -- a case we've seen used by countless other laptop vendors. It's not the most stylish chassis we've seen, but credit where it's due: this model has a glossy black coating that gives it a certain menace.
The lid of the laptop has a custom paint job. Alienware has airbrushed an image of what we can only describe as the feet of a six-toed mutant ninja onto either side of the lid. This comes across better than the moulded plastic 'ribs' that can be found on the rest of the high-end Alienware laptop range. The lid also has the familiar Alienware head and a painted section that changes from blue to purple depending on the angle it's viewed from.
The laptop has a large keyboard with a dedicated numerical keypad. As with many laptops that use the Clevo M590K chassis, there are some build-quality issues. The keyboard on our Aurora mALX was coming away from the chassis at the top-left edge and although it doesn't hinder the usability of the laptop, this sort of thing is likely to get worse over time.
Above the keyboard is a pair of upwards-facing speakers, and between them a set of circular shortcut keys and a power button with a blue LED. The shortcut keys control the activation of the laptop's integrated webcam at the top of the screen, the Bluetooth capability and the launch of your default Web browser.
The mouse touchpad is finished in a rather plain grey colour, which isn't very in-keeping with the dominant black and silver theme. But we were glad to see that far-right side of the touchpad has a vertical scroll section which makes it easier to read through long documents.
The mALX doesn't have any serial or parallel ports, but we were happy to see a total of five USB ports, which is a lot for a laptop. There's also a mini (4-pin) FireWire port and a 4-in-1 memory card reader that supports SD, MS, MSPRO and MMC cards.
Alienware uses both Intel and AMD components but the company tends to favour AMD chips for its ultra high-end machines. The Aurora mALX gets the dubious honour of using an AMD Turion 64 ML-44 CPU running at 2.41GHz. It's slightly surprising not to see a more modern chip, particularly given the laptop's high price.
By using this older technology, AMD has also had to stick with standard DDR PC3200 memory running at 400MHz. Although there's a healthy 2GB of the stuff, we'd have preferred it if Alienware supplied faster DDR2 memory as seen on AMD laptops with more modern foundations.
The mALX is extremely well equipped in the graphics department. It ships with a pair of Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX graphics cards -- the fastest mobile graphics processing unit (GPU) available. Each has 512MB of dedicated memory. This gives the laptop phenomenal gaming power, but the processor acts as a slight system bottleneck, as we'll see when we investigate the laptop's overall performance below.
The mALX's 19-inch screen hinders its gaming performance slightly. Its comparatively limited resolution of 1,680x1,050 pixels doesn't allow it to take advantage of the SLI graphics configuration's ability to run at super-high resolutions (1,600x1,200 and beyond). Secondly, the display's widescreen aspect ratio can cause a couple of slight problems for gamers. Few games run in a widescreen aspect ratio, so many titles will simply run in a 4:3 box leaving borders at each side of the screen, or stretch the image to fit a 16:10 aspect ratio, blurring and distorting it slightly in the process.

Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES)
Ecosystem services refers to the benefits that can be enjoyed by everyone that nature brings to wider society - clean water, forests, unpolluted air, etc - the services that sustain our planet.
These services are often provided by smallholder farmers and landowners, who by the very nature of their work carry out conservation practices that benefit others, and increasingly incentive schemes are being implemented to ensure that these people upon which we depend, continue to provide these services.
'Payment for Ecosystem Services' are one kind of incentive scheme that have become successful in recent years, especially in the area of carbon storage and the maintenance of water quality, usually focusing on forest ecosystems.
They depend on the voluntary particpation of farmers or landowners to provide a well-defined service, or the land needed to provide it.
Payment is made by, or on behalf of, the service beneficiary/ies and can be made at the community level, such as school or farming equipment, or in cash payments to the service provider.
The sucess of these schemes has led to Bioversity taking forward innovative research to apply them to agrobiodiversity conservation. Our research is seeking to assess their effectiveness both in terms of cost and in conserving threatened species and varieties, as well as to alleviate poverty in smallholder farming communities.
Service providers are most likely to be smallholder farmers, living in remote areas of developing countries, who manage species, varities or breeds with unique adaptive traits (e.g. diseases resistance, drought tolerance).

O'Dowd Downs Amazons |
School Age - Girls |
Bishop O'Dowd's girls team pulled off something of an upset, as the 11th-ranked Northern California team knocked off two-time national champion finalist Sacramento Amazons (ranked 7th) 30-5. Three hundred spectators convened at Bishop O'Dowd to watch the match. As always the case against the Amazons, the match unfolded into a very physical battle. Senior forwards Katelin Chan, Nicole Garde and Natalie Dierkx worked incredibly hard to maintain the majority of possession and were not intimidated by Sacramento's size. Sophomore flyhalf Olivia Bernadel-Huey, who usually plays fullback but switched to halfback due to an injury, did an excellent job of moving the ball around Sacramento's defense. "The whole squad played well; it was a solid performance," said O'Dowd Director of Rugby Ray Lehner, the same Lehner who coaches the O'Dowd boys program and the Olympic Club men's club. "But I still believe our girls have yet to hit their maximum potential. Bernadel-Huey was outstanding for her first match playing flyhalf. She is really a special player." O'Dowd took a 15-5 lead into the break thanks to tries from Dierkx and junior scrumhalf Gretchen Shaw, while Bernadel-Huey added a penalty and conversion. The Amazons scored their lone points of the game to end the half. BOD equaled their first-half points and used their bench well to run in another three tries courtesy of flanker Garde, junior prop Rachel Keener and senior flanker Toni Coaston. The highoctane O'Dowd offense - averaging over 30 points a game and easily leading the NorCal Girls league, improved to 5-1-2, second behind undefeated Mother Lode. Mother Lode are set to play the Amazons next week, although reports are that the two may agree not to play the game. UPDATE: NCYRA reports that the NorCal girls standings are actually not accurate, as they include friendly games. The NorCal semifinal matchups are now slated for May 5 at the NCIT with Mother Lode taking on Rio Linda, and Bishop O'Dowd facing off once again with the Amazons. |

Valparaiso University, known colloquially as Valpo, is a regionally accredited[3] private university located in Valparaiso, Indiana, United States. The university is a coed, four-year, private institution and enrolls more than 4,000 students from over 50 countries.
Covering 320 acres (130 ha), Valpo's campus is positioned approximately one hour southeast of Chicago. The city of Valparaiso is part of the Chicago metropolitan area and has an approximate population of 31,000 residents.
Valpo consists of five undergraduate colleges, a graduate school, and a law school. It is the largest independent Lutheran university in the United States and is home to the second largest collegiate chapel in the world, The Chapel of the Resurrection.
Originally named Valparaiso Male and Female College, Valparaiso University was founded in 1859 as one of the first coeducation colleges in the United States. Due to reverses brought about by the Civil War, the college was forced to close its doors in 1871. Two years later it was revived by Henry Baker Brown, an educator, and was named Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute. At the turn of the 20th century, its name was changed to Valparaiso College, and shortly after it was rechartered as Valparaiso University. Initially founded by Methodists, the Lutheran University Association purchased the school in 1925 and continues to operate it today. [4]
Valparaiso Male and Female College | Established | 1859 | Affiliation | Methodist |
Closed | 1871 to 1873 | |||
Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute | Acquired | 1873 | Affiliation | secular |
Valparaiso College | Renamed | 1900 | ||
Valparaiso University | Renamed | 1906 | ||
Acquired | 1925 | Affiliation | Lutheran |
In 1859, citizens of Valparaiso were so supportive of the placement of the college that they raised $11,000 to encourage the Methodist Church to locate there. Students paid tuition of $8 a term (three terms per year), plus nearby room and board around $2 a week. Instruction at the college actually began with young children, and most of the students were in elementary and grade levels. Courses at the collegiate level included math, literature, history, the sciences, and philosophy. Courses stressing the Christian faith included "moral philosophy" and "moral science." Due to the fallout of the Civil War, the school closed in 1871. At this time, most men (both students and administrative members) enrolled in the army. In 1867, the state passed a bill that provided state support for public education and the Methodists' broad Indiana-wide efforts toward higher education meant that none of the schools were self-sustaining. The combination proved too much to overcome for the Male and Female College.
The school, reopened by Henry Baker Brown in 1873, was named the Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute. In 1900, the school was renamed Valparaiso College and gained its current university status after being rechartered in 1906. For the next two decades, Valpo gained a national reputation as an economical instuition of higher learning, earning its positive nickname The Poor Man's Harvard. At the height of enrollment, it was the second largest school in the nation, behind only Harvard University. However, the aftermath of another conflict, World War I took its toll, and the school was forced into bankruptcy.[5]
Lutheran revival[edit]
In 1923, the Ku Klux Klan assembled a bid to purchase the university.[6] At that time, the Pillar of Fire was publishing the pro-KKK monthly periodical The Good Citizen.[7] They pledged to offer the university's appraised value of $175,000, expand it to the size of Purdue University, and devote the institution to the instilling of Americanism.[8] However, in 1925 the Lutheran University Association outbid the Klan for the school's ownership. The association was a group of clergy and church laity that saw promise in the school and wished to create an academic institution not controlled by any church denomination. Valparaiso is still operated by the Lutheran University Association, and remains an independent Lutheran institution which enjoys close relations with the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Old campus[edit]
The Old Campus of Valparaiso University is both adjacent to and a part of the historic downtown district of the city. Old Campus is the site of the School of Law, which is made up of Wesemann Hall and Heritage Hall. Heritage was the oldest remaining building on the campus, and was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. In 2009, the school started a restoration project, essentially rebuilding the facility. The school's fraternities and the Kade-Duesenberg German House and Cultural Center are located on old campus as was the Martin Luther King, Jr., Cultural Center before acts of vandalism and arson destroyed the building in 2009.[9] [10] Old Campus is also the site of Valpo's Doppler weather radar. Located north of Old Campus is the College of Nursing, whose students use SIMMAN, a robotic patient simulator used to train students in real life treatment to better serve their education.
New campus[edit]
Beginning in the 1950s, the school expanded eastward to occupy what is now known as New Campus. Today it is the primary section of the university, home to thousands of students in nine dormitories and most of the academic buildings. At the center of campus is the Chapel of the Resurrection, a 98-foot (30 m) high building which is the home of Valparaiso University's many worship services and convocations. Built on the highest elevation of land on the university's campus, it has been a Northwest Indiana landmark since 1959.
The Neils Science Center was erected in 1974 and includes an astronomical observatory, greenhouse, and a now decommissioned sub-critical nuclear reactor which helped the facility receive an Atomic Energy Commission citation as a model undergraduate physics laboratory. The Christopher Center Library (built 2004) houses over 500,000 books and numerous video and audio resources. It is a popular place for students to gather and study. The Valparaiso University Center for the Arts (VUCA) offers multiple performance facilities, which are most notably used by students to produce full scale theatrical performances every year. The performances and exhibits in the Center for the Arts are always open to the public, and the Center houses the nationally renowned Brauer Museum of Art.
Kallay-Christopher Hall is home to the Department of Geography and Meteorology. Kallay-Christopher has an observation deck and large weather lab facilities. Adjoining Kallay-Christopher Hall is Schnabel Hall, which is home to communications students, WVUR-FM, the university's student-run radio station, and VUTV, the university's student-run television station.
The College of Engineering has both a 16-inch (406 mm) computerized reflecting telescope to aid in NASA research and VisBox-X2, a virtual reality system used to immerse students in a visualized three-dimensional image. An addition to Gellersen Hall, the College of Engineering's Donald V. Fites Innovations Center, was completed in the summer of 2011.
Most building projects at Valparaiso University are funded by gifts from alumni and friends of the institution. Notable among these is the 202,000-square-foot (18,800 m2), $74 million Harre Union, named in honor of University President Alan F. Harre, who retired in June 2008. It opened in January 2009, and is more than three times the size of the previous union. The Harre Union has consolidated all dining services on campus, with the exception of the law school. It has room for all student organizations on campus, as well as a new bookstore, lounge areas, student mailboxes for every student on campus, entertainment areas, a large ballroom, a moon bounce, a career center, and an outdoor terrace overlooking the Chapel. The design architect was Sasaki Associates, Inc. and the architect of record was Design Organization.
The 52,000-square-foot Arts and Sciences Building, located adjacent to the Christopher Center for Library and Information Resources, opened in 2012 and houses state-of-the-art classrooms and offices for faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Two new structures, the Duesenberg Welcome Center and the James S. Markiewicz Solar Energy Research Facility, were dedicated in September 2013.[11]
Undergraduate programs[edit]
Valparaiso is organized into five undergraduate colleges: Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering, Nursing, and Christ College.
College of Arts and Sciences[edit]
The College of Arts and Sciences is the most diverse of the undergraduate colleges. It is closely linked to the Christ College, Valpo's honors college. The College of Arts and Sciences provides an education that integrates liberal arts and professional education. The college provides more than 70 academic programs in 21 departments. It provides the liberal arts core for all programs, including those in highly specialized fields. It offers internships and "hands-on" learning opportunities to compliment classroom activity. The College of Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for original research, joint projects with faculty, and the flexibility to major in multiple fields or creative an individualized major. [12]
College of Business[edit]
The College of Business is among the elite 25 percent of undergraduate business programs nationally accredited by the AACSB International — The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The College of Business offers focused majors in accounting, finance, international business, management, and marketing. [13]
College of Engineering[edit]
Based on the 2013 U.S. News & World Report, the College of Engineering tied for 17th in the nation among 194 institutions in which the highest degree is a bachelor's or master's. The College of Engineering won the 2012 Engineering Award presented by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering. About 90 percent of undergraduates complete the program within four years. The college provides several service learning opportunities as well as undergraduate research opportunities. [14]
College of Nursing[edit]
Students enrolled in the College of Nursing receive a foundation in liberal arts and can explore a variety of cutting-edge topics in and out of the classroom. The Virtual Nursing Learning Center offers patient stations complete with interactive mannequins, beds and equipment simulating a hospital environment. The baccalaureate, master's, and DNP programs at Valpo are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. [15]
Christ College[edit]
Christ College, commonly referred to as "CC", was chartered by President O.P. Kretzmann in 1967 as the Honors College of Valparaiso University. It is the successor to the Directed Studies Program, which was established to better serve the influx of gifted students to the institution. Roughly 80 students, or 10 percent of the class, are admitted each year. Students in the honors college are concurrently enrolled in one of other undergraduate colleges. The college provides immersion into the fields of history, literature, art, music, philosophy, religion, and social science. A student steering committee composed of upperclassmen guides the development of the program and a multitude of annual events. The most notable of these annual events are the Christ College Freshman Production and the Christ College Freshman Debates, held in the fall and spring, respectively. The Freshman Production is an original play or musical that is written, scored, choreographed, directed, produced, and performed exclusively by members of the Christ College freshman class.[16] The Christ College Freshman Debates are a series of formal debates in which two groups of students represent either the affirmative or negative side of a topic they have researched for the previous five or six weeks; usually the topics relate to current events. When both sides have completed their arguments, the debate moderator asks the audience members to "vote their minds" and decide the winner of the debate.[17] Another notable academic opportunity offered by Christ College is the Student Scholarship Symposium. The Student Scholarship Symposium features diverse, student selected research projects delivered in a critical and interactive environment. Students have the option to complete their study with either a major or minor in humanities to complement that received in their main field of study. Students in the college often spend a semester studying abroad at one of Valpo's overseas study centers.
Graduate school[edit]
Valparaiso University offers a variety of master's programs in Business, Chinese Studies, Education, English Studies and Communication, Information Technology, International Commerce, Policy, Liberal Studies, Nursing, Psychology/Counseling, International Economics and Finance, and Sports Administration.
Law school[edit]
Founded in 1879 the Law School was accredited by the ABA in 1929 and the AALS in 1930. In 2010, Valparaiso Law Students had an 83 percent first-time bar pass rate. The School enrolls more than 500 students. [18]
Study abroad[edit]
Valparaiso offers 19 study-abroad programs around the world, Valpo's four study centers (Cambridge, England; Reutlingen, Germany; Hangzhou, China; and San José, Costa Rica) provide group trips and excursions, a topics course on the life and culture of the host country, and specialized housing, all under the guidance of an on-site resident director. Other sites include Athens, Greece; Granada, Spain; Zaragoza, Spain; Cergy-Pointoise, France; La Rochelle, France; Paris, France; Rottenburg am Neckar, Germany; Tübingen, Germany; Chiang Mai, Thailand; Delhi, India; Coimbatore, India; Osaka, Japan; Viña Del Mar, Chile; Puebla, Mexico; and Windhoek, Namibia. [19]
Distance learning[edit]
The University offers online degree opportunities that include a Master of Arts in Chinese Studies and a Post-MSN Doctorate in Nursing Practice. The accelerated degree programs are Web-based and allow versatile learning.
U.S. News & World Report named Valparaiso University as No. 4 in the Universities-Master's category for the Midwest in its annual rankings of "America's Best Colleges."[20] It also ranked Valparaiso among the "Best College Values" based on a ratio of price to quality, and placed the College of Engineering in the nation's top 25 undergraduate-only engineering schools.[21] Over ninety-five percent of graduates secure employment or further education (twenty-three percent) within six months. More than ninety percent of students receive financial aid totaling over fifty-two million dollars annually. Charity Navigator also gave the institution four out of four stars based on its organizational efficiency and capacity.[22]
Valparaiso is a growing school that works to uphold the benefits of an intimate education. Most first-year undergraduate students take a year of Core, an interdisciplinary course rooted in liberal arts and focused on understanding the purpose and fulfillment of human life. About a tenth of incoming freshmen alternatively participate in the freshman program of Christ College. Students are also subject to an honor system originally implemented by the students themselves in 1943 which remains in effect today. Each January, the school holds a week of Martin Luther King Jr. events as a major annual event and invites provocative keynote speakers.
Student body[edit]
Valparaiso University Students are from geographically diverse backgrounds. Of the 4,000 students, only one-third is from the school's home state of Indiana. The remaining two-thirds come from almost every other state of the United States and from nearly 50 countries. Over two-thirds graduate in the top quarter of their high school class and 83 percent return to Valpo after their freshman year. Annually, more than $26 million is awarded by the university to more than 80 percent of the student body, which is administered based on factors such as community involvement, interests, recommendations, and personality, as well as grade point average, class ranking, and standardized test scores.
Sixty-one percent of Valparaiso University students live on the school's city campus, as University regulations require nearly all students who do not have senior status to live in residence halls. Twenty-seven percent of students are Lutheran, and 75 percent participate in faith-related activities. Valpo supports more than 100 student-administered organizations, clubs, and activities. Fifty percent of students participate in intramural athletics, and more than 1,000 students give more than 45,000 hours of community service to the region annually.
Greek life[edit]
More than 25 percent of Valpo students are members of one of the school's eight national fraternities or seven national sororities. The entire Greek Life community is coordinated by the fraternities' Interfraternity Council and sororities in the Panhellenic Council. Many of the fraternities were local until the 1950s when they were accepted as chapters into national and international fraternities. However, the sororities were local and had no national affiliation until 1998.
- Lambda Chi Alpha
- Sigma Pi
- Sigma Phi Epsilon
- Sigma Chi
- Phi Kappa Psi
- Phi Sigma Kappa
- Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia
- Phi Delta Theta
Honor societies[edit]
Valparaiso hosts chapters of all major honors fraternities, including Mortar Board National College Senior Honor Society.

Student activism[edit]
Valparaiso University has a detailed history of student activism.
- Kinsey Hall fire
While many colleges either amended or canceled the remainder of the 1969-1970 school year following the Kent State shootings due to unrest, the Valparaiso administration ignored student calls for a series of seminars and forums about violence at other campuses. A large group of students then organized a protest march from the campus Victory Bell to the Porter County courthouse. Continued protests led to discussions between the administration and student leaders. When these talks failed, a group of still-unidentified students set fire to the empty Kinsey Hall administrative building in the early morning. The aftermath of the fire left Kinsey Hall destroyed.
- Venture of faith
The existence of Valparaiso University's current College of Engineering is the result of student activism. The university's engineering program had been reduced to a two-year associate's degree in response to reduced enrollment during economic depression which dominated the 1930s. When students began inquiring in 1948 regarding the possibility of restoring a four-year degree program, the current university president, O.P. Kretzmann, cited a lack of space and lack of resources to build a new facility. Students responded with an offer to build the new facility if he would guarantee faculty positions, to which the President agreed.[23] The students constructed the facility themselves using their engineering education and an intense fundraising campaign, and by 1951 the new College of Engineering was again granting four-year bachelor degrees. The building still exists today, home to the Art department. This story received national attention and was turned into a feature-length film entitled Venture of Faith.[24]
- Burning of the shanty
During the 1988-1989 school year, a mock shanty town was erected on campus to show solidarity with victims of apartheid in South Africa. Mike Weber and Phil Churilla, two columnists for VU's student newspaper The Torch, wrote a column critical of the protest due to student use of portable CD players, wool blankets and packaged food in the shanties. A few days later the shanty town burned down and a culprit was never found.
Valpo's colors are brown and gold and the school's mascot is the Crusader. Most athletic events are held in the Athletics-Recreation Center (ARC), which is the primary sporting facility on campus. Valparaiso's eighteen teams and nearly 600 student athletes participate in NCAA Division I (I-FCS for football) in the Horizon League, except for football, in which they compete in the Pioneer Football League (the Horizon League does not sponsor football) and play at Brown Field. The school is known for its well rounded athletes as 98% successfully graduate, which ties Valparaiso with the University of Notre Dame for the third highest graduation rate in the country.[1] Valpo is also known for its men's basketball head coach Homer Drew and his son Bryce Drew, who led the team to its Sweet Sixteen appearance in the 1998 NCAA basketball tournament by making "The Shot", a three-point shot as time expired to beat favored Ole Miss by one point. Bryce Drew was named head coach in the spring of 2011.[25] Valparaiso is also the home of the National Lutheran Basketball Tournament.[26] Recently the Crusader men's soccer team has been successful, winning the Horizon League regular season in 2011. Head coach Mike Avery was named Horizon League Coach of the Year, Stefan Antonijevic was named the league's Defensive Player of the Year, and Kyle Zobeck was honored as Horizon League Goalkeeper of the Year. Sophomore Charles Barden led the team in 2011 with four goals.
The 2011-2012 season was a banner campaign for Crusader athletics. The men's soccer team started the year off capturing the school's first Horizon League title in any sport. Men's basketball followed with a Horizon League crown of its own while the baseball and softball teams both won regular season and Horizon League Tournament titles, representing the conference in the NCAA Tournament. In addition, the Crusader bowling team earned a berth at the NCAA Championships in just its third season of existence.
In the spring of 2013 the Men's golf team won the Horizon League Championship hosted by The Mission Inn golf course at Howey-In-The-Hills, Florida. The win propelled the team to the NCAA Tournament.

One of the most critical retirement decisions a soon-to-be-retired worker needs to make is when to collect Social Security benefits. Having dependable income as early as possible certainly relieves a lot of the anxiety that can come from losing a regular paycheck, but you shouldn't ignore the huge increase in benefits if you delay collecting Social Security.
The best age to claim Social Security will be based on each person's circumstances. But, in general, delaying Social Security is going to be the better choice. Here are a few reasons why:
The biggest retirement risk is longevity, and delaying Social Security will reduce the risk of running out of money. If you delay Social Security benefits, you will get a bigger check every month. That means more stable income you can count on even if you miscalculate your retirement planning and spend every penny of your savings and investments. Your monthly payments will increase by 7% to 8% for each delayed year, which could have a huge impact on your retirement finances.
Each cost of living adjustment (COLA) will be bigger. Social Security benefits increase by a percentage of the current payout to keep up with the cost of living. If you start collecting a higher amount by delaying your start date, the same percentage COLA increase will have a higher dollar value.
You can minimize the chance of regret. A retiree will generally get a larger lifetime benefit after age 78 by delaying claiming Social Security benefits. This means that if you live past 78, you might wish you hadn't taken benefits early because your lifetime payments will be smaller than if you had delayed claiming. A person who does not live past 78 would have been better off claiming earlier. (This example compares the start of benefits at age 62 and at age 66.)
You can convert your pretax nest egg to a Roth IRA at a lower tax rate. A portion of Social Security payments could be subject to income taxes. By delaying Social Security during the early part of your retirement, the monthly payments will not be included in your adjusted gross income. This means you can convert your pretax nest egg, including a traditional 401k, to a Roth individual retirement account at a low tax rate.
Let's say a couple no longer has regular income because both spouses have retired. Based on 2012 tax brackets, they could convert up to $70,700 of pretax income to a Roth IRA and pay just 15% of that amount in taxes. After that, all investment income derived from that $70,700 throughout their lifetime will be tax-free once the money is in a Roth IRA.
There are some nuances, of course. Roth conversions have the potential to increase your risk of a tax audit. So, it's a good idea to speak with a tax professional before attempting such a move. However, this could be said about anything that adds complexity to your tax return, and making the conversion could be a huge benefit for those who can take advantage of this tax maneuver.
The odds of living longer are increasing. With advancements in medicine and wellness research, many people are living longer. Delaying benefits will likely be the better choice for healthy retirees. While waiting to claim your benefit certainly has costs, it will give you more income in your later years when you are likely to need extra money the most.
