ISSUE: Sizemore named KPA president
OUR VIEW: We recognize one of our own
ISSUE: Magistrate Weight Loss Challenge OUR VIEW: Congratulations for leading by losing
The eight people who were winners in November's general election hope to be losers come this November.
Patterned after "The Biggest Loser" television show, the Hardin County Magistrate Weight Loss Challenge is an 11-month effort to slim down.
The issue: Healthcare-associated infections Our view: Requiring reporting is appropriate
Nearly three decades ago, a young reporter arrived in Morgantown to interview the editor of a small weekly newspaper. A couple days before, the plate glass window in the storefront office had been shattered by late-night gunfire. It was a message for Larry Craig, the bold editor and owner of the Butler County newspaper.
Bullying is not limited to age, race or economic status. Bullies come in all shapes and sizes and terrorize in ways beyond the playground menace who takes lunch money. It seems as soon as children figure out they can have power over another human, the lessons of bullying begin. Whether we admit it or not we have all been on both sides of the equation.
The issue: Ignoring warning signs
Our view: Be alert and respond
The nation and the attitudes that Martin Luther King Jr. sought to change have changed and generally for the better. The civil rights movement brought together thousands in search of the assurance of basic human desires such as kindness, fairness, equality and justice.
Making the rules? To paraphrase an old saying, "Those who can, do, and those who can't, make the rules." In Sunday's newspaper, we read that Secretary of Defense Gates wants to cut funding for the Military Tricare Health system. He says that the cost has gone from $18 billion ten years ago to $50 billion today. How much has the free medical care for our elected officials increased in 10 years?
When Hardin Fiscal Court conducts its first meeting of 2011, something unseen in almost two decades will occur. A woman will be seated among county government's elected decision makers.
As the county welcomes back the magistrate form of government, the voters of District 3 selected Lisa Williams to represent their interests for the next four years.
ISSUE: Reading the Constitution OUR VIEW: Civics lesson is just a gesture
Often it seems that gestures are substituted for true action.
As the new Congressional session opened in Washington, D.C., the House floor was dominated by a formal reading of the U.S. Constitution.
The new Republican leadership saw the demonstration as reaffirmation of a commitment to that its work would hold to the tenets set out in this most precious of American documents.
ISSUE: Millpond's request for financing OUR VIEW: Weigh investment against risk
The dust has settled for now on the Millpond Business Center off Kentucky 313 in Radcliff. The North Hardin Economic Development Authority's requested $800,000 to level 40 more acres of land to attract potential industry. The Radcliff City Council authorized $475,000 following a 50/50 split of council and a tie-breaking vote from then-Mayor Sheila Enyart.
Tears can be shed over any edition of the newspaper.
That's because each paper includes death notices. These brief summaries of lives lived hint at the sadness behind them with a detailed listing of loved ones. In the jargon of obituaries, the people left with grief are called survivors.
With the beginning of a new calendar year, it's common to review the 12 months that we all just survived. Often, grief plays a part in that recap.
ISSUE: Renovations at the courthouse OUR VIEW: Classic and accommodating
Renovations to the top floor meeting room in the Hardin County Courthouse had quite a debut this week.
Completion of the work could not have been better timed. A standing-room crowd gathered as elected officials, deputy sheriffs and other select individuals took the oath of office. Many of their friends and family were able to take snapshots or videotape the ceremony in the bright, new setting.
The New York Jets football team suspended Sal Alosi for a rather ugly incident that took place in a game against the Miami Dolphins. The strength and conditioning coach for the Jets received a season-ending suspension and a $25,000 fine for the incident. In our opinion, that is not enough. Mr. Alosi not only performed an inexcusable act but also used his influence over some of the Jets players to carry out the deed.
The issue: A look back at 2010 Our view: Events mark progress for Hardin County
The issue: Mayors supporting each other Our view: A positive trend continues
The issue: Chambers come together Our view: Praise for unification effort
Sometimes it helps to go out of town to appreciate what we have here. The latest reminder came to mind a couple weeks ago during a visit from my Alabama grandchildren. In an effort to capture the spirit of the season, we piled into the car for an adventure in Christmas light looking. Rather than a random trip through decorated neighborhoods, this journey would focus on Louisville's Megacavern. Driving in a loop under the zoo, we would delight in symbols of the season glowing in creative light displays.
The issue: Impact of Christmas Our view: Enjoy each other
The issue: Kentucky budget pressure Our view: Chamber offers worthy ideas

Seven Ways to Spot the Next Big Thing
2: Surf the exponentials.
2. Surf the exponentials.
Some trends are so constant, they verge on cliché. Just mentioning Moore's law can cause eyes to roll, but that overfamiliarity doesn't make Gordon Moore's 1965 insight — that chips will steadily, exponentially get smaller, cheaper, faster — any less remarkable.
Not only has it been the engine of the information age, it has also given us good reason to believe in our capacity to invent our future, not just submit to it. After all, Moore's law doesn't know which silicon innovation will take us to the next level. It just says that if the previous 50 years are any indication, something will come along. And so far, it always has.
Moore's law has been joined by — and has itself propelled — exponential progress in other technologies: in networks, sensors, and data storage (the first iPod, in 2001, offered 5 gigabytes for $399, while today's "classic" model offers 160 gigs for $249, a 51-fold improvement). Each of these cyclically improving technologies creates the opportunity to "surf exponentials," in the words of synthetic biologist Drew Endy — to catch the wave of smaller, cheaper, and faster and to channel that steady improvement into business plans and research agendas.
This was the great insight that inspired YouTube, when cofounder Jawed Karim realized (while reading Wired, it so happens) that broadband was becoming so cheap and ubiquitous that it was on the verge of disrupting how people watched videos. And it's what Dropbox did with digital storage. As the cost of disc space was dropping at an exponential rate, Dropbox provided a service capitalizing on that phenomenon, offering to store people's data in the cloud, gratis. In 2007 the two free gigabytes the company offered were really worth something. These days 2 gigs is a pittance, but it remains enough of a lure that people are still signing up in droves—some fraction of whom then upgrade to the paid service and more storage.
And it's what allowed Fitbit to outdo Nike+. As accelerometers dropped in cost and size, Fitbit could use them to measure not just jogging, but any activity where movement matters, from walking to sleep. For all its marketing muscle, Nike didn't recognize that accelerometers were the dynamo of a personal health revolution. The new FuelBand shows that the company has now caught on, but Fitbit recognized the bigger trend first.
Exponentials, it turns out, are everywhere. Just choose one, look where it leads, and take a ride.
3. Favor the liberators
3. Favor the liberators.
Liberation comes in two flavors. First are those who recognize an artificial scarcity and move to eliminate it by creating access to goods. See the MP3 revolutionaries who untethered music from the CD, or the BitTorrent anti-tyrannists who created real video-on-demand.
Sometimes, of course, the revolution takes longer than expected. Back in 1993, George Gilder pointed out in these pages that the cost of bandwidth was plummeting so fast as to be imminently free. Gilder's vision has been proven correct, paving the way for Netflix and Hulu. And yet telcos are today—still!—trying to throttle bandwidth. But this is just biding time on the scaffold. In the words of investor Fred Wilson, "scarcity is a sh**** business model."
The second flavor of liberation takes a more subtle approach to turning scarcity into plenty. These liberators use the advent of powerful software to put fallow infrastructure to work. Think of how Netflix piggybacked on a national distribution infrastructure by having the US Postal Service carry its red envelopes. Or how the founders of Airbnb recognized our homes as a massive stock of underutilized beds, ready to be put into the lodging market. Or how Uber turns idling drivers into on-call icons on a Google map, blipping their way to you in mere minutes.
Reid Hoffman, the philosopher-investor, describes these companies as bringing liquidity to locked-up assets. He means this in the financial sense of "liquidity," the ability to turn capital into currency, but it also works in a more evocative sense. These companies turn static into flow, bringing motion where there was obstruction.
What's it like to live in the future? Ask an Uber driver — these guys are electrons pulsing through a real-life network, and they're delighted by it. So should we all be.
4. Give points for audacity.
4. Give points for audacity.
When "big hairy audacious goal" entered the lexicon in 1994 (courtesy of Built to Last, the management tome by James Collins and Jerry Porras), it applied to ambitious executives eager to set high targets for annual revenue growth and increased market share. Yawn. But the term — shortened to BHAG — also coincided with the birth of the web, when innovators began to posit a whole new sort of audacity: to make every book, in every language, available in less than a minute; to organize all the world's information; or to make financial transactions frictionless and transparent.
Audacity is easily written off as naïveté, as overshooting your resources or talents. And that's a danger. Plenty of would-be Napoleons have called for revolutions that never found an army. But you can't make the future without imagining what it might look like.
Too much of the technology world is trying to build clever solutions to picayune problems. Better parking apps or restaurant finders might appeal to venture capitalists looking for a niche, but they are not ideas that seed revolutions. Instead, take a lesson from Tesla Motors , which had the pluck to spend $42 million of its precious capital to buy a factory roughly the size of the Pentagon, stock it with state-of-the-art robots, and begin making wholly viable electric cars. Or look to Square, which has pronounced the cash register a counter-cluttering vestige of the 19th century and created an alternative that will not only make buying things easier but will deliver retailers from their sclerotic relationship with credit card companies.
These times especially call for more than mere incrementalism. Let's demand that our leaders get in over their heads, that they remain a little bit naive about what they're getting into. As venture capitalist Peter Thiel told wired two years ago, "Am I right and early, or am I just wrong? You always have to wonder." This kind of willingness to take a chance and be early is what keeps the world moving.

posted a message on love the idea going from 0-60 in 15 minutes. why take it away? In d3 is all about item anyway. The only different between 0 and 60 is you can wear level 60 item. You cannot kill anything naked anyway.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
AH is the best feature in this D3. What made this bad is Blizzard decided the max price for an item in RMAH is $250. If the max is is $5, gold at $0.05 per million, all no fee, then all botting stop. Because it is simply not profitable to begin with.Quote from Zero(pS)
Sorry to see you go. Mostly because a lot of players believe that free form Trading is a staple of the franchise and will be leaving too. And what we need the least is more people "leaving".
It's a shame in this specific case people can't have their cake and eat it too. The devs got heavily criticized (and in some cases, outright bullied, like Jay Wilson) for trying to make the Free Form Trading work. For 2 years they tried (crafted items, BoA materials, changes to items, etc.). But to the majority of the players, it simply didn't work.
I like Trading too, and I actually enjoyed the AH for the most part (it did more good than bad to my own playing experience), but I'm definitely willing to give it up if that's gonna make most of the playerbase's experience better. And you should too.
I hope to see players like you reconsider their stance on RoS. -

Exactly. Then why do you not preaching all skill give the same damage so people can choice? Why HOTA give 400+ while WW give like 150. Why bash give 165 and frenzy give 115? The whole balance speech is broken because the whole thing is off DPS. Because it is off DPS, of course, people will go with the skills give out the most DPS.Quote from knightofthorns
Because that choice makes every other choice obsolete; and it is not a "choice" anymore. If every other thing is equal, would you take the higher paying job or the lower one? Would you buy the more expensive car or the cheaper one? The same goes for the game. If a skill gives 10 dps and the other 1000, most people will use the one gives you 1000 dps.Quote from helpme123
That's what people want then let them play like that. Why do you preached choices but only allow the "choices" you approved?
Every wizard use living lighting as a primary skill because it is AoE and put out a lot of damage. Why don't you go nerf that so it hit 1 target like her other primary skill? -

If this is final for ROS, then Barb will be back to pre double tornado, no one use it. His only function was a meat shield until double tornado was introduce. Remembered every barb just switch to Monk. And this will be what is going to happen.Quote from gurg0
right now 50% of ppl play barbs and that sure doesn't feel right(not kidding) even if 50% of them quit barb there is still going to be more barbs than other classes
i do crypts every day and there are 2 comunities:
barb haters (players that dont like OP classes)
If you want to balance this, just change into fray give 1 fury per monster hit. This way, WOTB can be extended beyond the 15 seconds, at the same time, make it very very hot to get it perma. -
posted a message on I just love you guys peach for build diversity (which there is none) and then complaint someone who doesn't do a cookie cutter like all other class.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
This game is all cookie cutter. How to build a good char? 500 RA, 50k life, 40% crit, 300% crit dmg, 30% IAS, max DPS. All the same.
People will always use the most efficient skills and/or fun skills.
Right now, all class is pretty balance. If you remove the barb perma barb, then people will move away from barb. It simply do not warrant a 2 minutes cooldown for what it has to offer. -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
It need to change not nerfed. Instead of giving 1 second for every 25 fury, give 1 second for every killed.Quote from Cobearz
I am still playing barb atm and rocking hard.Quote from helpme123
The change that should be made is change it how they do with archon instead of nerfing it. Now Barb is back to D3V before double tornado, no one is using him.
Barb needed the nerf in order to really make things balanced.
Barbs are suppose to generate fury then spend it and re-gain it again, not have infinite..
Also OP gave you a subscriber, view, like, and comment. If you wish to do the same with me id apperciate it.
Honestly, it is not overpowered. If you remove perma barb, how is the barb able to compete with other classes? Other classes primary skill can all hit multiple targets except the barb. You can argue Barb has cleave, but who use cleave? -
posted a message on It is much too low if it is 1 per hour. If we just have 500 legendary, that's 500 hours. If you just pay 4 hours a day every day and item don't repeat, then you need 4 months to collect it. Then you have Str, Intel and Dex version.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion

Featured Site: The new New York Times Opinion Pages
September 23, 2010
This week, the New York Times' relaunched their Opinion Pages. The new minimal layout distinguishes the Opinion Pages from the rest of the paper, while the flexible template showcases the accompanying illustrations. The entire look exudes the confidence and authority one has come to expect from the Times; and, more importantly, it does a great service to the excellent editorial content within.
Perhaps our favorite part of the redesign is the classy new typography, courtesy of Typekit and the Times' custom version of Cheltenham. We worked hard to ensure that this historic font would render beautifully and consistently across a wide range of browsers and devices. Gone are the days when a publication had to compromise on fonts for the web; with Typekit, the Times can look just as good online as they do in print.
Update: Cheltenham has also been rolled out on the New York Times Best Sellers list.
We're working closely with the Times and other enterprise customers to deliver custom fonts to the web, and we will be sharing more examples from those partnerships soon. Stay tuned!

September 24, 2010 at 7:24 amStarting the work day out by reading the NYTimes Op-Ed page has been a habit of mine for a long time.
Nothing like cussin' out William Safire to start the day. (I miss him a lot.) And – in the days of print only – Russell Baker could always put a smile on my face.
The redesign looks good, I like it.
Nice to see web fonts on a high-profile, high-volume site like NYTimes. Cheltenham never looked so good.
(Gotta go visit with Firefox and compare kerning. Kerning working?) -
September 25, 2010 at 7:36 pmI actually stumbled across Typekit (and Cheltenham, thanks to whatthefont) specifically because I was digging around in the the NYT source html trying to figure out just how they were displaying that slick new font for the headers of their pages. Kudos do all involved.
September 29, 2010 at 12:31 pmHas anyone else reported problems with rendering of the headlines in Safari on Windows?
I've tried turning off all extensions, but it doesn't help.

Bad Quality again!!
Par Hthom
de Vancouver,B.C.
Received this necklace and loved the look when I first opened it but then realized that two of the stones had fallen out and were sitting in the box. The stones feel plastic....not even glass. This was an expensive necklace before it was on sale, even the sale price is way too expensive for plastic stones. I bought some other of her pieces and I am wondering if I should not send them all back, as earrings I bought had the gold wear off after a few uses. I expected higher standards from Joan ...there seems to a major quality control problem.

Just a warning in case you would like to purchase. I ordered one in each color - the three of them arrived today - all deficient. Crystal fallen out of the clear crstal necklace, same thing with the pink necklace, and the hook closure on the brown necklace was broken. Such an apparent poor quality of workmanship, can't understand how this passed Joan's high quality standards. Gets a zero rating...a one plus is generous!

Rye Gets a Vermouth Finish
Jack Bettridge
Posted: October 4, 2013
One of the great moments in cocktail history came sometime in the 1870s when some unknown alchemist poured vermouth into a shaker with rye whiskey to make a Manhattan. Today, a small distillery near Philadelphia has reunited these two liquids as a rye whiskey finished in sweet vermouth casks. Only this time we know who conceived the beverage.
Dad's Hat Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey, Finished in Vermouth Barrels, is the brainchild of Mountain Laurel Spirits, headquartered in Bristol, Pennsylvania. The founder and distiller Herman Mihalich says the inspiration for the unique spirit came when he and partner John S. Cooper were sipping Vya Vermouth from California's Quady Winery. The discussion at the time was of Port, however, as the same winery was supplying casks for Dad's Hat Port-finished rye. "We fell in love with the vermouth, and a light bulb went off in our heads. We asked if they could send some vermouth barrels with the Port casks."
The marriage of the two concepts produces a remarkably smooth and flavorful whiskey, especially considering that it is aged for a total of only nine months: six months in charred, new-oak quarter casks and three months in the vermouth barrels.
Dad's Hat, which also makes a plain rye, a white rye and a cask strength, revisits Pennsylvania's early tradition as a center of rye making, says Mihalich. He adds that he grew up in an apartment over a tavern that specialized in rye. Much of today's rye whiskey is made as a side operation at Bourbon distilleries in Kentucky, but originally it was the whiskey of the east. The distiller says that many of the rye-rich spirits of Pennsylvania were not built for long aging.
As a young craft distillery, Mountain Laurel deals with a challenge common to that breed, says Mihalich, namely that "you don't have the luxury to wait eight or ten years for whiskey to mature." This vermouth-cask work-around is a novel and effective solution.
Small casks tend to hurry maturation as the spirit gets more contact with the wood. Mihalich adds that he takes a very narrow cut on the still run, as well, to avoid using impurities that would be mellowed out with a longer maturation period, but would remain in lesser maturatilon.
Even as Mountain Laurel markets younger whiskey, it is preparing to introduce a straight rye aged in a traditional 53-gallon barrel. (The designation straight rye indicates that the whiskey is at least two years old.) The planned straight whiskey was distilled with a fatter cut. (In pot distilling, sections of the first part to come off the still as well as the last part—the heads and tails, or foreshots and feints—are typically discarded to avoid impurities. With age, however, some impurities can transform into desirable flavor notes.)
"If you clean it up too much, it doesn't have any flavor," adds Mihalich.
The company uses a 500-gallon pot still from Carl Artisan Distilleries of Germany in conjunction with an unattached side column still.
The mashbill contains 80 percent rye, 15 percent barley and 5 percent malted rye. The rye is all sourced from local farms in the Philadelphia exurbs. The Dad's Hat grain recipe was developed when Mihalich and Cooper attended the artisanal distillery program at Michigan State University.

We Are Going Behind the Scenes of U-Kiss' New Music Video
910 COMMENTSSo we have some very exciting news for all the Kissmes out there! We just got invited to film behind the scenes at U-Kiss' new music video! Holy cow those guys are STILL working really hard, and I'm personally wondering if this might be the last music video we get to see AJ in before his hiatus from the group while he studies in University.
As well as filming behind the scenes, we get to interview Ukiss AND they're giving us autographed CDs to give away to our viewers! EXCLAMATION POINT!!! This will be the first time that we get to see what the making of a kpop video is actually like! I have so many questions, like: how many times will Ukiss have to re-film until the final cut is chosen? Will the director be yelling out instructions behind camera, like "MORE EMOTION, MORE SADNESS!!! YES YES!!!" Will there be unicorns farting out marshmallows for all of us to enjoy? That last question might never get answered.
Anyhoo, rather than just asking what we want to know, we'd like to know what you guise want to ask U-Kiss. Leave us your questions in the comment section (either in our blog post or on youtube) and if you want to, include your name and country so we can let the boys know who's asking!
Oh, and another thing. Although we're going to film this music video next week, we won't actually be releasing our video until U-Kiss releases their video. We obviously don't want to be giving away top secret behind the scene video footage, so the release date of our video is kind of unknown for now. It's so mysterious…and exciting!
Lastly, since we're gonna be giving away awesome autographed U-Kiss CDs to you awesome people, make sure you're subscribed to us on YouTube, and that you follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. We like giving CDs to people who follow us. Yay!
If you haven't seen it before, here's our first chat with U-Kiss well over a year ago, where AJ calls us out for making fun of his R Squared Pi line. Ha!

The Princeton Review names Morningside College to "Best in the Midwest" list
Morningside College is one of the best colleges in the Midwest according to The Princeton Review. The education services company selected Morningside as one of 153 institutions it recommends in the "Best in the Midwest" section of its website feature "2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region" that posted today on PrincetonReview.com.
The Princeton Review has designated Morningside as a "Best Midwestern College" every year since 2003.
The 153 colleges The Princeton Review chose for this year's "Best in the Midwest" list are located in twelve states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
The Princeton Review chooses the schools based on institutional data it collects on college and universities in each region, visits to the schools and the opinions of independent and high school-based college advisors. The Princeton Review also takes into account the results of an 80-question survey completed by students at each of the schools.
The Princeton Review also designated 222 colleges in the Northeast, 122 in the West, and 136 in the Southeast as best in their locales on the company's "2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region" section on its website. The 633 colleges named "regional bests" represent about 25 percent of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges. The Princeton Review does not rank the colleges.
The Princeton Review is known for its tutoring and classroom test preparation courses, books, and college and graduate school admission services. It is not affiliated with Princeton University.

Everything you need to know about updating your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to iOS 7 using iTunes and USB
It's much faster and easier to install iOS 7 via the over-the-air Software Update system. However, if you're a traditionalist, or if you're worried about data corruption from old backups and want a clean, fresh start, iTunes is still an option. Here's how:
Once your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad reboots, you'll be running iOS 7. If you need more help, here are your go-to links!
The commenters are funny, thinking it was real lol. The "7" is clearly photoshopped in, the font is different. How could you guys not see that?
iOS 7 will require iTunes 11.1 in order to sync (but you can still update to iOS 7 using iTunes 11.0), which should be released at the same time, if not a bit earlier.
Looks like iTunes 11.1 was just released.. Didnt show up under software update, but showed up on the iTunes webpage.
I was going to download IOS 7 via iTunes, but didn't realise it was slower than on the device. I thought that as this was not an incremental update, the download time in iTunes would be the same as the device. Can anyone clarify this? Many thanks.

iTunes on my Macbook Air didnt show the update yet (still says 6.1.4 is the current version). It's currently 1:11pm est. Phones are downloading iOS7 fine over the air, though.
When trying to restore using iTunes 11.1 on iOS7 GM, i'm getting "There was a problem downloading the software for he iPhone X's iPhone. The requested resource was not found. What gives?
This is usually the case when trying to update to the public version from GM. I have found the following, long and cumbersome, process to work. 1) Backup your phone (iCloud or iTunes) 2) download the 6.1.4 ipsw file (http://www.ipswdownloader.com/download-iphone-ipsw-files.php) 3) restore to this version using Option and Restore iPhone 4) Once reverted back to 6.1.4, iOS 7 will automatically start to download on iPhone 5) once updated to iOS 7, restore your backup.
I can't update my 4S. I'm using the latest iTunes version [ 11.1 (126) ] but it keeps telling me:
"This version of the iPhone software ( 6.1.3 ) is the current version."
So sad. :(

Does anyone know if doing a cloud backup eliminates corrupted data that's usually carried over from itunes backups. I'm jailbroken and have been for many years. I know I'm supposed to setup as a new device to avoid any issues. I'm just curious if this is a different avenue that will yield the same thing.
you must update your itunes to 11.1 to update your iphone/ipad ti ios 7...but i prefer doing it OTA, less hassle..
I've got an iphone 5 and I downloaded the ios7 a while back without a developer account and now I've got a problem with this 'activation error' message popping up and i can't use my phone at all. i've read all the comments and been on loads of sites/tried downloading every .ipsw file.
If I can't download back to ios 6 to then upgrade back to ios 7, how do I use my phone at all?
I don't care what software its running on i just really need my phone working again.
Does ANYBODY have ANY suggestions???

Stress is unavoidable, especially in college. At times, it seems like there is a never-ending list of homework to complete, reading assignments to study and laundry to do – not to mention maintaining a healthy social life! It's important to remember that although you can't avoid stress, you can learn to manage it. Here are some ways how:
Make time for yourself, even if it's only for a few minutes. Living in a residence hall can be stressful in itself because you are constantly surrounded by friends and roommates inviting you out and pulling you away from study time. Assignments pile up quickly and just like that, you're behind in three classes. It's sometimes hard to find alone time when living with a roommate – and 20 neighbors who also happen to be your best friends – but if you are feeling overwhelmed, chilling out by yourself helps to relax, revive and cross some things off your to-do list! Taking a nap, listening to music, reading a few pages from a non-required book or going on a short walk can help to clear your head and refocus your efforts.
Schedule time in your week for doing something you love – and stick to it as if it were a class. For me, music is my stress outlet. I make sure that I play marimba or piano regularly during the school week to not only keep me sane but also to keep me going through my homework. I always have my music time to look forward to and it helps to keep me focused on my assignments, not distracted from them. I know that the sooner I accomplish my work, the sooner I can pound out some music.
Whether it's taking part in a favorite activity or just sitting quietly by yourself, make time for it in your week and you will feel much less stressed.

Outside of school, she enjoys traveling, performing or teaching music and spending time outdoors with friends and family. Katie loves all things zebra and has a necessary addiction to coffee. Her iPod is perpetually playing Death Cab for Cutie or classical music because she truly believes that when words fail, music speaks.

Though it seems like summer just began, school is almost back in session and students are already preparing for the new semester. They know every class on their schedule will not be an easy "A" and will attempt to keep up with the coursework but sometimes, even the most diligent of students need a little academic assistance. To whom can they turn? To a tutor, of course!
Almost every college and university has tutoring programs available in various fields of study. Despite these excellent resources, however, many students opt to join clubs, Greek organizations or just party their undergraduate years away instead of sitting down with a tutor and learning the facts necessary to pass their classes and graduate. Why is this trend so popular? I think some students – especially the ones that excelled in high school – may be intimidated or embarrassed to ask for help. The truth is, honor society member or not, you'll never pass Calculus II if you don't learn the material!
In addition to school-sponsored tutoring programs, you can also form study groups with classmates (you know you've been wanting an excuse to talk to that smart, hot guy in the back row!) where you can all voice your concerns and help each other work through issues. Professors and TAs are also ready and willing to assist you – they hold office hours for that exact reason. There's no sense in failing when you have the resources to succeed!

With the soaring prices of college tuition, most college students are trying to get the biggest bang for their buck when paying for school. One way they're doing this? Having more than one major or minor.
Now don't be under any delusions: Having a double major or a double minor is a lot of work – and I mean A LOT – but it can be very rewarding. Not only do you get a leg up in the job market and grad school admissions but it makes your time in college more simulating.
I personally am a double major (government and creative writing) and I also minor in religious studies. It is stressful, yes, but it is very worthwhile. Not only am I studying things that I find important and interesting but I feel like I am preparing myself for a future career in journalism because all these fields of study seem to flow together.
That is the key to having more than one major or minor – they should complement each other. Crazy as it sounds, I have found that classes in religious studies and government are quite interconnected and I'm able to understand each subject more depth because I am studying the other. Analyzing what kind of career you want to have after college also helps: I know people majoring in psychology and religious studies, creative writing and business, or philosophy and anthropology because of their specific career goals.
Like I said before, having multiple majors or minors is stressful and balancing your coursework, a job and a social life can be a challenge. If you are curious or confused, talk to your advisor or other students undertaking this type of workload, as they can provide the insight you'll need to make the right decision for you.

When you first begin attending college, you may be overwhelmed by the need to participate in as many activities as possible. Doing so is a good idea because it allows you to make new connections throughout the campus and you will more than likely become more comfortable at your school. It is possible, however, to be too enthusiastic when it comes to participating in activities on campus. And that's not good.
Most schools have an orientation for freshmen where they get tours of the campus while learning about the different organizations they can become members of. Freshmen are encouraged to become active on campus by joining different groups to meet new people. There will be several people, like your orientation leaders, telling you to become very active but there will be others, typically students with older siblings already in college, who will advise you not to be overzealous.
I have heard stories from my fellow classmates of how they joined every organization in which they met the qualifications for when they were freshmen and how that idea quickly backfired. They were so consumed with going to meetings, volunteering and going to events that they ended up pushing their schoolwork to the side. Each person saw an unfavorable drop in their GPA, which took twice as many semesters to bring back up as it did to bring it down.
My advice? Everyone should become active on campus instead of wasting four years alone inside their dorm rooms but I'd say not to become too involved until you are sure that you can handle it. A long list of extracurricular activities is impressive but a low GPA could hurt your chances at getting into graduate school or impressing any future employers.

Do you feel restricted by more traditional college majors such as business, education and nursing? If so, a non-traditional major may be for you! Many colleges offer majors you may not even have known about including decision making, Egyptology and marine biology.
You may be wondering how there could possibly be a major devoted to decision making but the coursework is surprisingly difficult! There's actually a real science to making decisions, meaning you'll have to apply your mathematical reasoning skills to everything from information technology to artificial intelligence. The end result, though, is highly rewarding: You'll be able to use your decision making skills to produce soaring business profits.
The University of Pennsylvania offers a major in Egyptology, which is exactly what it sounds like: the study of ancient Egyptian culture. If you choose this major, you'll learn how the ancient Egyptians measured time without clocks, studied astronomy without telescopes and much more. Should you decide you want to pursue a Ph.D. in Egyptology, you'll even learn to read and write in Demotic and Coptic, two of the phases of the ancient Egyptian script. If you've grown up fascinated by pharaohs and mummies, consider turning your passion into a career. You might even discover an artifact that becomes as famous as the Rosetta Stone!
Marine biology, though not unheard of, is still not a very common major. UCLA even gives its students the opportunity to go snorkeling as part of the major! Past diving sites include Hawaii, Tahiti and Catalina Island (a friend of mine will be studying coral reefs in Hawaii next year). Just think: while your classmates are busy studying for finals, you could be out swimming with dolphins! Keep in mind, though, that physics, chemistry, biology, calculus and statistics are all subjects you should be proficient or above average in if you're even considering this major.
If you decide to major in any of these fields, one thing's for sure: You'll have a college experience like no other.

In life, keeping things in order, having a set schedule and planning ahead will truly save you time and keep you on track. In college, staying organized is even more important.
When making your shopping list for college, put a planner at the top. I have been using one since I was in elementary school and it has always helped me stay on top of my stuff. It came in handy most in college, though, and helped me to stay organized from the very beginning. The best kind to buy is one that has slots for individual days as well as a monthly calendar. This will allow you to keep track of all your classes, assignments, meetings, work schedules, extracurriculars and will prevent you from forgetting about something important. As soon as you get an assignment, write it down and remember to check your planner every day. You will have far fewer scheduling conflicts and will become adept at managing your time and keeping a healthy balance between work and play. You can also incorporate Post-its to keep track of tentative times and dates while keeping your schedule looking neat.
There are also other tools you can use like Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar, which help sync media from different sources to keep track of all appointments. If you have a cell phone – and these days, who doesn't? – use its alarm feature and tack a calendar up on your bulletin board as a backup (maybe even share it with your roommate and color coordinate your to-dos). Whatever your choice, make sure it's something you are comfortable using and will remember to continuously check so that you don't forget anything.
By staying organized all throughout college, you'll be well-prepared to enter graduate school or the job market. College professors and potential employers appreciate organization: You will be a perfect TA candidate or employee if your superiors know they can depend on you. Be smart, be organized, be successful. It's as simple as that!
Radha Jhatakia is a communications major who will be transferring to San Jose State University this fall. She's had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.

According to a study by the National Center for Education Statistics, it costs approximately $80,000 in tuition plus expenses to earn a bachelor's degree from a public four-year college and about $140,000 to gain the same credentials from a private nonprofit four-year institution. There are certainly ways to find this kind of funding – grants, student loans and, hello, scholarships! – but will your major of choice be worth the money? If you select one of the fields included on PayScale's list of best-paying college majors, it is decidedly so.
The annual list is dominated by engineering, with seven of the top 10 in branches of the field, while the other top-earning degrees include physics, applied mathematics and computer science:
Petroleum Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Materials Science and Engineering
Aerospace Engineering
Computer Engineering
Applied Mathematics
Computer Science
Nuclear Engineering
Does this list have you reconsidering your college path or will you stick to your intended major?

One of the best ways to get involved on campus is to show you care by giving something back through student volunteering. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to do this. What's best for you?
One way is to get involved with organized campus projects such as campus clean-up or even landscaping. Many colleges have some kind of "Show You Care" day that allows students to help with minor projects. Another way is to plan your own project and present it to campus ministry, student government or another student body that would be willing to help. One group of students at Methodist and volunteered to go around to the dorms and take out other students' trash. Another group fed pizza to the cafeteria workers. I was involved with "Show You Care" day by helping move rocks and dirt to fill in a ditch for a walkway bridge and also helped remove fallen trees and branches from a family's yard that had been struck by a tornado.
Another way to show you care is fundraising. Several student organizations have fundraisers for charitable causes. My fraternity, Kappa Sigma, raised money for the Fallen Heroes Campaign, a donation network for the families of soldiers killed in combat. Members of student ministry on my campus became mentors for Young Life, evangelistic outreach for at-risk high school students. The international students conducted several fundraisers for global causes such as conflict relief and stopping hunger. They even had their own campus club devoted solely toward charitable causes called Economics Anonymous.
If you want to be involved in the community but not necessarily in ministry or charity, another way is campaign volunteering. Campaigning for local candidates combined with student volunteering is a great way to build your resume and social network, as well as maybe help you get a date!

Lately, I've been searching far and wide for Neverland – a place where I don't have to grow older, a place where I can evade responsibility, a place where I can avoid the looming anxiety of college, a place in which to find solace from the fear of independence.
Having never been away from home for such an extended period of time, there are a few qualms I have with starting college, a pivotal chapter in my life. The first one is, well, being away! There will be tons of new people in a totally new setting. Will I be able to manage? Luckily, I've had the opportunity to talk to many people about this issue and they assure me that it's not as horrid as it may seem. The feelings between me and the rest of the incoming freshmen will be completely mutual. That's actually the beauty of the situation: Everyone's just as afraid as you are, therefore just as vulnerable. This vulnerability will, in fact, make meeting people a much easier process because everyone will be wide-eyed, open-minded and ready to build relationships.
Another thing that concerns me is the workload. The sheer thought of being bombarded with 20-page papers and getting no sleep gives me nightmares! Though, the advice I've been given in regards to this problem assures me that I am being much too dramatic. My uncle eased this fear by telling me that though multiple page papers are an inevitable part of being a college student, unreasonable demands will not be put upon college freshmen right away as they're still trying to maneuver their way through a college campus.
After discussing my college concerns with a few different people, I'm glad that much of my anxiety is starting to dissipate. I think I'll put that trip to Neverland on hold and fly to my college campus instead. The growth I experience there won't be something I have to fear and in the end, I'll be happy that I made the decision to grow up.

At the age of five, he lost his father to diabetes and was raised by his mother and grandmother, who helped him to enroll in Urban Prep Academy, a public all-male college-preparatory high school, during his sophomore year. Julius started to read at the age of two and still enjoys escaping in books during his spare time. He will begin his freshman year at Cornell University this fall, where he plans to double major in psychology and English literature.

This bot would feel at home in the jungle
Now this is our kind of robot. If you're going to go the droid route, we figure, don't mess around with the type of sissy-bots that are so prevalent these days--go for the brute factor instead.
That's why we like the "Ellos RescueBot," which Gearfuse describes as a "damage-resistant" machine designed to go where humans can't in emergencies. Its description makes it sound more like something from the Amazon (the river, not the store) than a piece of robotics: "Its main standout feature is 10 lifting arms on its bottom. When … Read more

More people including four-legged friends in walk down the aisle
on May 28, 2013 @ 1:15 pm (Updated: 4:10 pm - 5/29/13 )Wedding season is in full swing around here. And given the way people pamper their pets these days, it should come as no surprise a lot more are taking their four-legged friends for a walk on the big day, right down the aisle with them.
Jason Verlinde is one of them. When he and his fiancee tied the knot, their two dogs were alongside.
"We were without children and our dogs were really our family," Verlinde told It's Raining Cats and Dogs.
You have to wonder if it was worth it. Verlande and his fiancee had moved from Washington to California before the wedding in La Conner. So while she flew up for the wedding, he was stuck in a hot car with his slobbering greyhound and Bernese mountain dog making the three-day drive.
At the ceremony itself, the big Bernese, enlisted as a ring bearer, dragged an unsuspecting nephew down the aisle. In the end, Verlande insists it made the day complete.
"I had bonded with my dog before I met my wife. He was with me through that whole process of courtship and dating and engagement. And it just seemed like the right thing to do."
It might sound like a bit much, but not for the hardcore pet lovers out there. Wedding planner Tamara Nicole says about 10 percent of her ceremonies now include pets.
They're not always the best guests. Some dogs have been known to leave an errant paw print on a bride's precious dress. Others bark or whine. Some simply sulk and won't cooperate. And you have to wonder if at least a few feel just a bit demeaned by the obligatory doggie tux or frilly dress.
It can be a game. One couple trying to figure out how to get their dog to go along ended up just tying the rings to a stick and putting it in his mouth. The dog loves to play fetch and brought it right up to the alter without incident.
Not only are dogs getting invited to the big day. Host Shawn Stewart says she's heard from one couple who plans to have her flower girls walk their two cats down the aisle. And there are plenty of stories of just about every other kind of animal being included, including owls.
Ultimately, it might sound a bit absurd to those not quite as obsessed with their pets. But Stewart argues it makes perfect to sense to include your VIP's at perhaps the biggest day of your life - very important pets.

Alternately flamboyant and hyper-masculine, the TV series' Lafayette is a gay black man (one of the show's few non-vampires) from the South who breaks nearly every stereotype thrown upon him. ''I didn't like him in the books, but I loved the Lafayette I saw in the pilot," Ellis later stated. "He lives in a place where he deals with extreme scrutiny and adversity from everybody. He has to be tough and shrewd."
Straight in real life and a self-described "boring person,
" Ellis nevertheless portrays a dazzling and powerful Lafayette, and has subsequently gained immense popularity among straight and gay fans alike. However, many members of Ellis's family, especially his father, aren't fond of the character: "He believes the character is supporting an ideal that Christians don't normally support," the actor has stated. A Christian himself and a strong supporter of rights for the gay community, Ellis believes that his character, as well as the show in general, is about dealing with prejudice and discrimination and ultimately overcoming these obstacles: "It's about accepting what's different. You have to learn to not hate who you have to live with," he's said.
According to Ellis, fans often mistake him as a real-life Lafayette, which he finds largely flattering, but has also caused him to worry about how the movie industry will perceive him in the future. "I think African-American men particularly are fearful of playing a big personality role because Hollywood seems to always keep us there and can't see us beyond that. But I'm hoping that because I do movies in my off time that maybe Hollywood consistently sees me as a character actor," Ellis has said.
Other Projects
Two years after his True Blood debut, in 2010, Ellis starred opposite Diane Lane and John Malkovich in the film Secretariat, playing a decidedly different kind of character, a horse caretaker whose sexuality never comes into play.
In recent years, Ellis has been working on a screenplay based on Ugly called A Bird in the House, which he hopes to someday bring to a director and studio. He has also professed interest in doing a Tyler Perry film and in expanding his acting range even further over the next several years, as offbeat roles attract him more than conventional ones. For someone who has come such a long way from his difficult childhood, Nelsan Ellis certainly has a bright future ahead.

Changes in healthcare influneced by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will have a profound impact on hospital revenue cycles.
Burbank, California (PRWEB) February 20, 2014
Richard Stephenson, Founder and CEO of RISARC, a leading national high-technology and revenue recovery consulting firm to the health care industry, foresees changes coming to hospitals from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which will have a profound impact on hospital revenue cycles.
Document movement and exchange
Says Stephenson: The IT and Finance departments at each American hospital will be on the front line as existing revenue cycle management (RCM) systems confront the huge amount of new data pouring in from the newly insured and their insurers: eligibility processing for federal, state, and private insurers; medical treatment and outcome coding; billing, claims and collections.
Stephenson also cautions that a hospitals audit contractors will have their hands full in ramping up controls and monitoring for waste and fraud. According to Stephenson, seamless, protected exchanges of confidential documents from medical records to credit authentication will be an important part of meeting that challenge.
Reductions coming in Medicare and Medicaid
Stephenson also notes that the ACA is demanding a $700-billion reduction in projected Medicare expenses a burden that will first fall on the financial leadership of hospitals large and small that need to scramble with their provider teams to find more cost effective ways of delivering effective care to Americas soaring population of elderly and retired.
Non-profit hospitals alone will see a reduction in Medicare reimbursements of more than $150 billion in the next decade, according to a recent analysis from Moodys Investor Services, which also projects a $14 billion reduction in Medicaid disproportionate share hospital payments.
Incentives for savings
Adds Stephenson: The pressure on the entire medical coverage and care system to lower costs will be backed up by a federal incentive payments system that rewards hospitals that can match or surpass cost-improvement benchmarks. Hospitals typically operate on a one to three percent bottom-line margin. Medicare cutbacks as have been suggested will impact a majority of medical facilities, particularly in rural areas ill equipped to weather these losses. But the incentive program is encouraging the health care delivery system and insurers to save it-self, in particular to find top-line efficiencies and wellness strategies that maintain subscriber health and eliminate the need for the late-intervention emergencies that are a loss for the patient and the provider alike.
Payor-provider collaboration
Stephenson is optimistic and confident that hospitals will be able to steer an ultimately profitable course through this changing environment and these reforms of some of a hospitals own internal business procedures and care protocols into a more collaborative work model may make the difference.
According to Stephenson, the greatest improvement and cost-savings can be had by payor-provider collaborations that cooperatively improve coding, billing, and claims practices to reduce rejected claims. Better and faster electronic information exchanges for benefit, liability, and update transactions are at the core of that reformation.
A digital, medical commons
Says Stephenson: In sum, the traditional delivery of American medicine is mostly crisis-driven a patient has a health emergency, big or small, and only then interacts with health care providers. We live in a transparent digital world now, however, in which ubiquitous, continuous connectivity, with friends and vendors alike, through smart phones, notepad-based computing, and laptops is accepted, a given.
That opens up a great opportunity for continuous patient engagement, a digital and mobile medical commons, in which known conditions are continuously monitored and healthy practices are constantly encouraged, advancing the wellbeing of all and reducing the ultimate cost of healthcare in America.
