Sunglasses designed to clear things up for the color blind
Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is not an issue I've had to deal with. In fact, it's not something that crops up in women much. Statistics show about 1 in 10 men have some form of color blindness, so if you're not color blind yourself, you probably know someone who is.
That means there's a good chunk of the population that wouldn't mind a little assist in the color department. This is where sunglasses maker EnChroma hopes to make its mark. … Read more

Angels Crossing
The 27 holes are inspired by the renaissance of golf architects 100 years ago. Golf architects Ross, Macdonald and Raynor were working America by rail adding individual magic touches to the landscape. Five sets of tees insure everyone can play the length of course that fits their individual skill levels. The par threes range from the 173-yard sixteenth hole to the 258-yard twelfth. The par fours range from the short 367-yard second hole to the long 453-yard dogleg seventh. The par fives range from the reachable 539-yard seventeenth hole to the three shot 616-yard fourth.

Located in Villas El Parque at the heart of Manuel Antonio, this self catering studio comfortably sleeps two guests.
Centrally located close to The National Park and the beaches. You will often see Squirrel, Capuchin and Howler monkeys, a wide array of tropical birds and if you're lucky a sloth or two.
The studio is arranged with a full kitchen opening onto the dining area, the enclosed bedroom has a queen sized bed and shower room. The apartment is not suitable for more than two people.
You have view of the Ocean from the kitchen window where I have set up a breakfast bar. Note we are on the lower level so the view is slightly obscured by the jungle. Our other apartment listed on this site does have the "million dollar" view so if that is essential then please check it out.
Villas El Parque is a short walk from a great selection of restaurants, bars and convenience stores and since you're on holiday they will deliver to you. If the mood takes you, you are moments walk from Spa Uno for a relaxing hot stone massage.
There is excellent bus and taxis services which take you in one direction to the National Park and beaches and in the other to Quepos and the Marina Val Pez, should you fancy a day on the water fishing some of the most exciting waters in the region, if not the world.

My boyfriend and I had the best stay at Tariq's place! Perfect location, amazing views and great little studio for us. We absolutely loved the windows and light in the space and the AC was a nice addition for easy sleeping at night.
My girlfriend and I decided to visit Costa Rica for a week and we are very particular about accommodation. Not only was Tariq helpful and inviting, the villa was clean and full of amenities for cooking, power outages, and showers/pool. We saw frogs, iguanas, and birds right out the window and monkeys have been known to pass bye. We spent most of out days at the beach, and in the evening there were loads of great restaurants within walking distance. The bus to the beach was easy to use and about 50centa a person. I recommend Tariq as a host and Manuel Antonio as a destination! We will be back
Thanks Tariq! Pura Vida
Thank you! The apartment was great, the location perfect and all the help made it easy. I really appreciated the arranging of a seamless late night ride all the way from San Jose! Everything was as expected and just a side note, the local bus was super easy for transportation to the beach, park, and Quepos.
Great Place. Tariq meet us and provided us with a quick summary of the area. Very easy to get around from this location, The room we had did not have a direct ocean view, but a quick walk up the stairs and the view was great. Great food all around the place and getting anywhere is super simple from this location.
Tariq is a gracious host with a studio in an absolutely perfect location. I have no reservations recommending him or this location.
There are a few items to note for those interested:
1. This is not a "home" it's always used as a rental so it's essential empty of personal affects. This is good - and also challenging as there were few towels, cooking supplies. It feels "empty". If you like places that feel like a home this isn't it.
2. We had the misfortune of a couple days with intermittent power. That's just how it is in Costa Rica/Manuel Antonio area. No big deal, but if I'd known I would have brought a headlamp.
3. The internet is pretty good. It drops out here and there but no big deal. Staff of the net - go surf!
4. Parking on site is secure and easy to use.
5. One of the best hidden beaches (Biesanz) is right down the road. Playa Dominicalito, Matapalo, and Bellano are a close drive. We went to a new beach each day.
6. There's a restaurant above the apartment complex. It's really solid!
7. Breakfast is served at the pool each day for $5. It's also great.
8. There's laundry service on site - it costs $10.
9. The shower water is hot and pressure is good.
10. The unit is OVERLY sunny. You'll be woken up each day by the sun pounding into the kitchen windows. That was find for us - we wanted to be up and out early every day.
11. The fridge broke while we were there but Tariq was super responsive and sent over a repair guy.
Tariq was amazing! Upon arrival, he showed me around the area and gave me tips on where to eat and how to get to various locations in Manuel Antonio. When I checked out, he and his wife drive me right to the bus station in Quepos!
The place was very clean and in a great location in Manuel Antonio - close to a bus stop, a supermarket, and some great restaurants with incredible views. I highly recommend staying here!
Un lugar equipado con todo lo necesario, pequeño y acogedor, mi esposo y yo pasamos unas exc vacaciones conociendo Manuel Antonio!
Loved staying at the apartment. It was in a beautiful location, and we had a ton of fun in Manuel Antonio! The apartment was centrally located to a ton of great food, the apartment was clean, spacious, and hanging by the pool was great fun. Highly recommended.
Note: My wife and I went together and had no issue with this but just a heads up that the bathroom in the apartment had an open 'window' between the kitchen and the bathroom so if you had guests there, it could be awkward to hear people peeing from the kitchen ;)
Had a nice stay in this Villa. It's close to lots of restaurants and has an amazing view. The first night we were there we saw some monkeys jumping through the trees above the pool.
It's about a 10 minute drive to Manuel Antonio National Park. Walking distance to restaurants and bars. I'd definitely stay here again if I visit Manuel Antonio again.
Thanks Tariq!

On this date in 1847, residents of Forest Hill, Arkansas, recovered from an explosion that rocked the community. The episode was described as "a solid black fleece … above a red glare as of many torches." As noted in a previous column, houses rattled, and the local church bell rang as a fiery barrel-sized meteor caused a 2-by-8-foot crater. It was also reported that it smelled of sulfur and water thrown on it, boiled. Similar events include a thunderstorm in Westmoreland, England, in 1885, as a family of five witnessed a 12-pound rock, spinning from the sky, killing sheep as it hit the ground. Residents excavated a quartzite ball. In 1867, on the isle of Sark, a green-hued mineral "axe" was beneath a dead cow following a lightning strike.

North Carolina requires persons attending a college or university, whether public, private or religious, to present a Certificate of Immunization or a record of immunization from a high school located in North Carolina. For out-of-state students, a Certificate of Immunization or high school immunization record indicating that the person has received immunizations is required to attend a college or university in North Carolina. Only students taking four or more credits during the day on campus are required to provide proof of immunizations. The immunizations required are a series of three tetanus shots one of which must be in the last ten years and two MMR (mumps, measles and rubella) also three oral doses of polio if the student is under 18 when entering college. Details are available in the Physical Examination and Immunization Record form or by contacting the Immunization Coordinator at (910) 630-7652. How can I find my immunization records? North Carolina does not maintain a central registry of all immunization records; however, here are some tips for tracking down your child's previous shots:

Am I the only person who wonders why the Almanac chose to censor the prior thread on this topic?
Web Link
on Oct 18, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Renee Batti is a registered user.
Curious, The Almanac didn't restrict the thread to registered users. A person who begins a thread has the option to restrict it, and apparently WoodsMoire did so, either intentionally or inadvertently.
on Oct 18, 2012 at 10:28 pm
Oh sure Renee. Everybody knows you are part of a Government cover up of this incident......OK, so that's not really true, but I thought I would be the first to start the rumor, while wishing you a Happy Holiday season....Best to you and your family.
on Oct 19, 2012 at 11:00 am
<Web Link;
I'm afraid it is true; it is a government cover-up. See this video, taken from Area 51. These certainly don't look like meteors to me. We've all seen pictures of meteors.
There's only one explanation. Aliens. And they've come to manipulate the elections in their determination to take over the world.
Remember the recent record setting "parachute" jumper, who said his name was "Felix Baumgartner?" He landed in Roswell, NM. What we are watching are some of his extra-terrrestrial buddies. Need I say more?
I would tell you a lot more about this, but I have to take my meds. now.

Sony announces new hardware designs
Published: Monday, September 24, 2012
Updated: Monday, September 24, 2012 13:09
With Sony's Tokyo Game Show press conference out of the way, we can finally begin talking about the company's new plans for their hardware. Specifically, the press conference confirmed the existence of a new version of the Playstation 3 as well as new colors for the Playstation Vita.
The new, second revision of the Playstation 3, or the Super Slim model as some outlets are calling it, is less than half the weight and internal volume of the original. The new model will be available only in the standard 'charcoal black' color here in the North America, while Japan will also have the option of purchasing a 'classic white' model.
In the United States, the new Playstation 3 will be available at retail in two bundles. The first will be available for purchase tomorrow at $269 and will include both a copy of "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" and a bonus pack containing $30 worth of digital goodies for the free-to-play, upcoming first-person shooter/massively multiplayer game from CCP, "Dust 514." The $269 version will come with 250 gigabytes of internal storage while the second bundle, which will be available on Oct. 30, will contain 500 gigabytes and retail $299. It doesn't look like the second variant will include either "Uncharted 3" or the "Dust 514" package.
Meanwhile, the Vita is getting a less dramatic, but far more colorful revision.
Sony showcased new color options for the Vita in Japan. Sony's handheld will now be available in 'Cosmic Red' and 'Sapphire Blue' in addition to the current white and black editions already available in the land of the rising sun. Thus far, there hasn't been any word on whether or not these variants will make it across the Pacific and into U.S. retailers, but it seems like that would be a likely conclusion. And hey, if they do happen to remain Japanese exclusive there's always the option of importing.
While they were showing off the system's new colors, Sony also announced that their Playstation Plus service will finally be coming to the handheld in October. The subscription-based service, which provides discounts, free games, automatic updates and clouds storage to members on the Playstation 3, has been mysteriously absent from the Vita since its Japanese launch.
What was not announced at the Sony press conference, however, was a price-drop for the ailing handheld. Multiple media outlets had predicted that the Tokyo Game Show would be the most likely event to play host to such an announcement, but for now the price remains at $250.
Playstation Vita sales have been quite low in both Japan and North America since launch with a handful of sales spikes in Japan following the releases of certain major titles. There is some speculation as to whether or not the new colors will be enough to boost sales of he device, or if a price drop is absolutely necessary.
What will definitely help to move the handhelds, however, is new games. Thankfully, Sony's press conference also showcased several new and already announced games that will be released for the Vita in the coming months. These included Keiji Inafune's "Soul Sacrfice," a remake of "Muramasa: The Demon Blade," a new title from the developers of Dynasty Warriors and the next installment in the "Gundam" franchise.
While these are obviously Japan-centric titles, they do indicate a higher number of developers moving towards development on the platform.
For now, we'll have to wait and see what Sony has planned for the future of the Playstation Vita.

American Elf 1999
Series: Top Shelf Productions American Elf One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-nine
Welcome to the digital edition of James Kochalka's award-winning, influential, and totally addictive autobiography, AMERICAN ELF! It's a simple idea -- every day, James draws a comic strip capturing a moment from his life—but gathered all together, these moments take on rich new meanings. Both silly and profound, AMERICAN ELF is a portrait of human life lived to the fullest, infused with the trademark passion and magic of Vermont's Cartoonist Laureate. 455 pages. This first collection includes the strip's beginnings at the end of 1998 and all of 1999. In here, James launches American Elf, rents a new apartment, cares for a sick kitty, visits Portugal, buys an iMac, and drinks a lot. 455 pages. ""Absolutely impossible to encapsulate into a single review, Kochalka's eminently likeable SKETCHBOOK DIARIES are a singular experience in the world of comics ... Comics' foremost optimist, Kochalka really distinguishes himself from his fellow cartoonists not only through deceptively simple and wonderful art, but also with a goofy, vulnerable cheerfulness. In a medium where many creators find life unbearably and predictably painful, he finds the extraordinary in the ordinary."" -- 4-Color Review ""By focusing on the tiniest moments -- a second gazing at the moon, a thought over breakfast -- readers come to know what truly goes on inside the author's head."" -- Whitney Matheson, USA Today ""James Kochalka is my autobiographical idol."" -- Alison Bechdel (creator of Dykes to Watch Out For and Fun Home) ""James Kochalka draws beautiful music."" -- Nicholas Gurewitch (creator of The Perry Bible Fellowship) AMERICAN ELF: THE COLLECTED SKETCHBOOK DIARIES OF JAMES KOCHALKA (October 26, 1998 to December 31, 2003)Kochalka's diaries have utterly redefined the daily comic strip. His attempt to document the minutia of his life results in work that explores the full spectrum of human emotions. Drawn with verve and confidence by a cartoonist at the height of his powers, it is ambitious, hilarious, moving, and quite addictive! This astounding book follows the ups and downs of Kochalka's life through 5 full years of the strip, plus also includes 32 full color pages of supplementary comics and other artwork. Quite simply, this is Kochalka's masterpiece. -- 520 pages"

And then Derek is off. "Bring up the cue for act two, scene 11." "No, a capella, a capella."
It looks great. There's a smattering of applause, just for the quick blocking rehearsal Derek gives Karen's roommate for her new opening number.
Like Stan Gable in "Revenge of the Nerds," wiping whipped cream off the bottom of a pie tin to reveal his girlfriend Betty Child's bare image, Karen can only sit on the sidelines and mutter, "That's my pie," as her big song, her anthem, is given to her roommate for a new opening number.
15 Apr 2013
Photo by Will Hart/NBC
"Yeah, obviously," snorts Derek. "When you come down off whatever it is you're on, you'll see this really works," adding in his best Alex McCord on "Real Housewives of New York City" impression, "I should be at my first preview right now, but instead I am back in high school with you!"
The artistic director questions whether tonight's stumble-through for Richard Francis of the New York Times is the right moment to make structural changes. He leaves it to Kyle to decide.
Kyle says Derek is right!
Jimmy is PISSED!!!! "We're supposed to be a team."
"Except you don't listen to anything I say," Kyle points out, adding that Derek sees the show more clearly.
Jimmy spits back, "I see the show perfectly. I see Derek changing it because he is jealous of me and Karen," and then, in a soap operatic bastardization of what was once brilliant dialogue in Fosse's film of Cabaret ("Screw Maximilian." "I do." "So do I."), Jimmy tops it off, "which if we're gonna be really honest here, so are you."
Kyle is cool and confident and walks out.
Meanwhile, Karen calls Derek a "jealous old man," accusing him of being angry at her and Jimmy and taking it out on the show.
In a rare moment of complexity on "Smash," we see Derek, happy to punish Karen and enjoying telling her about Jimmy's dark past and concealed identity, and yet coolly confident he has in fact done what's best for the show.
Also confident, but infinitely less cool, Karen condescendingly assures her roommate, "He only gave you that song because he was pissed at me." And thus commences such an annoying, stupid, soap opera fight. Nobody's talking about the same thing. It's like if I say the sky is blue and you say it tastes like chicken. To think I once rolled my eyes about the competition between Karen and Ivy—how I long for those blissfully innocent days of the Bombshell auditions. I cannot be bothered with this crap at this late date. Whatever, be friends, don't be friends. I'm checking my Instagram.

During the 2007 season, the Denver Broncos saw various injuries to their offensive line take place. Center Tom Nalen, Guard Ben Hamilton and backup tackle Ryan Harris most missed most of the year due to injures. Plus, Damial Graham, who is known as the best blocking TE in the league missed time with an injury. These injuries were never more apparent then in the last few games of the year. In week 15 Jay Cutler was sacked 5 times! And in the following week he was sacked 4 times! During these two games the Broncos offense was anemic as they scored a total of 16 points in the two games. Why didn't they score? Because Jay Cutler didn't have time to throw, he was under constant pressure. The offensive line was the biggest flaw on the offensive side of the ball last year and it needs to be addressed on the first day of the draft this year.
Mike Shanahan has been known for taking offensive lineman late in the draft, but it's time for that trend to change. Many of teams who experience success on a regular basis draft lineman early in the draft. For instance lets take a look at the 18-0 Patriot's starting Offensive line:
LT-Matt Light-The Patriots drafted him in the second round of the 2001 draft.
LG-Logan Mankins-The Patriots drafted him in the first round of the 2005 draft.
C-Dan Koppen-The Patriots drafted him in the fifth round of the 2003 draft.
RG-Stephen Neal-The Patriots signed him as a free agent.
RT-Nick Kaczur-The Patriots drafted him in the third round of the 2005 draft.
Three of the Five starter on the Patriot's offensive line were first day picks. This years draft has plenty of good offensive lineman at the top of the draft and the Broncos need to draft one of them. The following offensive tackles are projected to be first or early second round picks:
Jake Long
Ryan Clady
Jeff Otah
Gosder Cherilus
Sam Baker
Chris Williams
Any one of these tackles would be good enough to start over the Broncos current takcles (Ryan Harris and Eric Pears). So please Shanahan do the right thing and draft an olineman early in the draft.

Alex Goldmark
Alex Goldmark is a senior producer in the newsroom for New Tech City and Transportation Nation.
UPDATED 4:50 p.m.: Google Maps now publishes real-time data for the NYC subway. Not for all subway lines, but it's another step in the march of technological progress that transit advocates hope will make more people ride the subway, and enjoy the journey more too. Salt Lake City was added to Google Maps today as well.
The NY MTA had previously released the data on its website, smartphone apps and through publicly available data for other people to use for making apps. Now the two main transit routing websites have both integrated the real time information, so a passenger, or prospective passenger, can see exactly which train is coming when -- not just when it is scheduled to arrive -- and if they happen to have a choice between the two lines with real-time data, they can even compare departure times and choose the line accordingly. Or more conveniently have Google Maps routing functions do the choosing.
That increases trip and trip planning efficiency and just as important, knowing the departure times reliably can also increase perceptions of efficiency, which makes people more likely to choose transit over other modes according to a 2011 study from the University of Chicago, which makes this point with charming academic-ease:
"The provision of real-time transit information might serve as an intervention to break current transit nonusers' travel habits and in consequence increase the mode share of transit use. Moreover, the results of this study suggest that real-time transit information may be more successful in increasing transit ridership if combined with facilitating programs that enhance commuters' opportunities to be exposed to such systems before using them."
Like Google Maps. Or HopStop, or other transit routing that can integrate this data.
Google first added real time data in six cities in 2011. Google spokesperson Sierra Lovelace said, as of today, Google transit routing is now in 800 cities. Real-time data is only available in the handful of those where the local transit agencies make the data available, including Boston, Honolulu, San Francisco, London, Madrid, Torino, Italy, and as of today, New York City and Salt Lake City. "While it's not all 800, it is many, and we're always looking to expanded that offering," she said.
Lovelace says there are one billion monthly unique users of Google Maps (including Google Earth and all map services), half of them on smart phones. While Google didn't have a breakdown of the data by city or by feature, there is certain to be a sizable audience that now has access to NYC's real-time data through a platform they already check regularly.
Note the "real departure times" below the times in the screengrab above, as TN reader Steve Vance and Chicago transportation writer, points out, that line is what indicates the difference between real-time and scheduled arrival and departure times.
The NYC subway only releases real-time data on seven of roughly 25 lines (depending on if you count the shuttles and the temporary H train). For now it's only on the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 42nd Street Shuttle lines. The other lines have a different switching system which does not produce real-time data in a way that can be exported. There is no timetable for upgrading the rest of the system.

Agenda/Schedule | Program Chair
This February, O'Reilly's Strata conference returns to Santa Clara. Strata brings together the world's leading thinkers and innovators in the fields of business, data, and disruption. After last year's sold-out inaugural event, it's clear that Big Data is here to stay, and that Strata is the place to learn about it.
In this online conference, we'll look at hot topics, brewing controversies, and cutting-edge technologies that promise to change how we live, work, play, learn, and love. Hear from some of Strata's marquee speakers about what's consuming them in the Big Data world in this web-based event.
Strata chair Alistair Croll will set the stage for the coming event, offering a quick overview of what's happening online and in person with this year's Strata events.
Most privacy choices come down to Yes, No, and Maybe. Many users are willing to let their personal data be used in a research context, or if they get something back in return for their data. Data privacy is a hot-button topic for 2012, and in this preview, we'll learn how findings from the Consent to Research project in personalized genomics, quantified self, and other personally identifiable data project can inform privacy policy.
Whether you're talking about agile businesses, e-government, digital healthcare, or personal analytics, we're quickly moving towards the Quantified Society. How should we prepare for the Feedback Economy, where competition is about the best data, the right questions, and the fastest, most accurate feedback loops? Strata chairs Edd Dumbill and Alistair Croll discuss the advent of the Quantified Society, and what 2012 holds in store for how we live, love, work, play, and learn.
At Strata 2012, we'll get an inside look at how analytics and ad platform Flurry analyzes data from over 300 million mobile devices every month atop a big Hadoop/HBase cluster. Here, Paul Dix gives us a quick overview of what attendees will learn.
Visualization can appear to be purely art, but has a healthy dose of science behind it. Successful visualizations are the result of a process that ensures you've considered all of the relevant factors as you make design choices. Noah will give a brief overview of the main considerations, from audience and data to position and color, necessary for designing effective data visualizations.
Data visualization is a powerful tool for revealing simple answers to complex questions, but context is key. User-centered design methods ensure that your audience receives the information they need in a usable and actionable way. Data visualization and user experience practices are not mutually exclusive. They work best when they work together. In this preview, we'll look at what it takes to make data interactions that have real meaning to their audiences and users.
We'll close with a look at the next Strata events and some of the online resources you can use to get up to speed on Big Data.
Program subject to change. The entire conference will be recorded and made available to attendees free of charge afterwards.
A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are available for Strata Online Conference. To sponsor Strata Online Conference and for general sponsorship information, contact Susan Stewart at email@example.com.

Two teens are accused of sexually assaulting another student at Southwest Early College Campus.
Kansas City Public Schools said it is cooperating with police in their investigation and two of their students are now in custody.
Investigators released little information about the reported rape, only saying it happened at the Southwest Early College Campus, located at 6512 Wornall Road, Thursday.
Jackson County's juvenile officer said the boys, who are 14 and 15 years old, were arrested that same day and charged with first-degree rape. They are being held at the Jackson County Juvenile Detention Center.
No prosecutors would give the suspects' names, most likely because of their age.
The school district released a statement which reads:
"The Kansas City Public Schools, along with local police, is addressing allegations of misconduct involving students at Southwest Early College Campus.
Per standard procedure and federal law, KCPS does not publicly disclose the private matters of its students. However, the school system places the highest value on the health and safety of its students, and is proactively working with authorities to resolve this matter.
KCPS will have no further comment on this matter."
Authorities aren't providing any further information at this time.

West Shore Community College Reviews
Check out reviews left by other students or leave your own review. You could win a free scholarship.
Carly from Ludington, MI
12/01/2009Reviewer is A current student here.
2 out of 2 people found this review useful. 1 of 9
Categories Comments Great for these types of students West Shore Community College is a great place for anyone looking to gain more knowledge without the hugeness of university. One really fantastic thing about this college is the diversity in age of students - it's really encouraging to see adults from the community attending classes, and I think that there's a lot the younger students can learn from them.
Tips for prospective students Check, double check and then triple check what classes you need for your degree. Do the exact same, and possibly even quadruple check, when finding out what schools your 2-year degree transfers to, if planning to transfer.
Bang for the buck WSCC is most certainly worth the expense. Since it's a Community College, it's quite reasonable. Prior to attending, I was worried that the education I would receive would mediocre or below par. However, I have found the classes to be just the right amount of difficult - hard enough to challenge me, but not discourage me.
Am enjoying being here The school itself is very pleasant, with a beautiful campus and friendly staff. One main thing about WSCC that really took me by surprise was the Student Senate. The group is very proactive and plans at least one activity per month, creating a fun environment and student life that I wouldn't have anticipated from such a small school - especially since we don't have any sports teams. I've been working with the Senate since the beginning of the Fall 2009 semester and love the opportunity to make student's ideas a reality. The only thing that holds me back from being 100% thrilled with WSCC is the rural location.
Am learning a lot One of the things I enjoy most about West Shore Community College (WSCC) is the small class sizes and one-on-one interaction with the instructors. All of the instructor's I've had so far have been very helpful during and outside of class hours, making sure contacting them with questions or concerns wasn't a problem.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck the prices are fairly low. only about three thousand per year. most book you can also find at a decent price.
What to do for fun go to lake michigan and take a walk out to the lighthouse. there is a club called tiki in downtown ludington. also, be sure to do some window shopping.
Food and Dining they have the beans and bread cafe. it has great coffee and wonderful french fries. one of my favorite things to order is the buffalo chicken salad.
Dorm Life there are no dorms but ludington is very close by and lake michigan is only a short drive away.
Academic Rigor the classes are great and the professors have the best interest of the students in mind.
Tips for prospective students be sure to go up to the wellness center, it is a great place to work out. even if you just want to walk on the treadmill or swim some laps in the pool. there are a lot of cool events in the arts center as well, so be sure to check them out.
In three sentences west shore community college is a great starter school. the atmosphere is very welcoming and there are a lot of student activities. overall it is a great school to attend.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Kept clean of snow during winter. No hazards or crime to speak of.
Great for these types of students Law Enforcement, Nursing, Music, Theater, Arts, Educators, 1 and 2 Year Certificate, Advanced Placement High School Students.
Bang for the buck Good price for tuition and great professor's make W.S.C.C. totally worth it.
What to do for fun Enjoy the center stage theater. Go play disc golf on their course. Go for a hike on one of the wilderness trails. Go to the recreation center for swimming, exercise, basketball, or ice skating. Join the different clubs; AV, Gaming, 4-H, and there are more I'm certain.
Food and Dining Beans & Bread Caf�© offers a decent menu, and special of the day (Mon. - Thur.) is hit or miss but is nice to have. Given the size of the school this caf�© is sufficient in meeting the needs of student and faculty.
In three sentences An ideal place for students in the area to get a great head start on post high-school education. Comfortable atmosphere welcoming all ages of students, as well as a highly qualified faculty. Mason County is experiencing a lot of attention for its Arts, Music, and Culture lately, thanks in large part to West Shore's presence in the community.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities They have every club imaginable and if they don't have it you can start it as long as you have a certain number of people willing to join West Shore will fund it. They even have a Harry Potter club.
Great for these types of students This college is great for students not looking for a big school, but a small close to home one. Also, if you are going into nursing we have a great nursing program.
Bang for the buck You definitely get quality for a fraction of the cost of a university, plus you get the comfort of your home.
What to do for fun There are activities on campus. There is also a recreation center with a pool, gym, weight room, and racquet ball court. Also, they recently added a disc golf course.
Food and Dining There is only a little cafe called beans and breads. The food is decent; It fills the void.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor Classes are pretty rigorous; some more than other though.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you buy your books early to save and get used books. Also, take a class with Matt Sanderson or Mike Nagle they are great teachers and make the class entertaining.
In three sentences West Shore Community College is a great school especially for someone who is undecided on a major. You get a quality education for a fraction of the cost. Also, the staff treats you as a person not a number.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is fantastic! If you would like to be walked to your car at night all you have to do is call maintenance and the will send someone over from the police academy to escort you. The maintenance crew is beyond helpful with your needs be it car trouble or directions. Everyone really puts an effort into making the campus as safe as possible.
Greek Life none.
Clubs and Activities We have dozens of clubs to choose from and join free of charge, and if you don't find one you like you can always create your own through the help of student senate.
Great for these types of students If you like small class sizes and a rural setting then i would defiantly recommend West Shore.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I defiantly recommend exploring the cross country trails, they offer you an opportunity to see nature like never before and present very good photography opportunities.
Bang for the buck Even if you dont end up getting finical aide the cost per 20 credit hour semester to attend is about $3,000 and that includes books! So to attend full time for a year would only cost $6,000 which is not even half as much as a year at a larger university.
What to do for fun There are dozens of on campus clubs that you can join or if there is one you would like to create just ask for approval through student senate. The recreation center is phenomenal with 2 collegiate sized basketball courts, racquet ball, weight lifting and cardio rooms, cross country trails, disk golf, theatrical performances, and an ice rink. Student senate is always hosting a variety of events for students to attend for free.
Food and Dining There is one on campus cafe where they serve a variety of hot and cold foods made fresh daily. The pricing is rather steep but the food is well prepared.
Dorm Life There is no on campus living. The closest towns are Scottville, Ludington, and Manistee. In these towns you can find affordable income based living or room up with relatives and friends.
Academic Rigor The academics here are admittedly hard, but the teachers really want you to succeed at learning and understand the material. So although you may presented with challenging course work, you can succeed through effort and discussions with faculty.
Tips for prospective students Order your books online, although the school is smaller the book store times cause a congestion and time waste you do not want to experience, plus they will be cheaper. Also because the college is in a rural setting you will want to make sure your car has good tires for he winter months or you may get stuck.
In three sentences West Shore is located in a quaint rural area, about 10 miles from Ludington, Michigan. Its faculty are well rounded with a large majority having doctorates and are always willing to help. Its smaller class sizes help if you really appreciate one on one time.

All except for the would-be protagonist who, as the crowd rushes past her, makes her way to the closed-for-the-night real-estate storefront opposite the subway station. Somewhere, "Moon River" might still be playing, as if it had never stopped. Disheveled, lugging her purse and gym bag, she pauses for a number of minutes to read listings she has already read, and which she committed to memory weeks ago: a studio on Pineapple Street; a loft on Gold Street; a townhouse on Argyle Street; a two-bedroom coop on First Place; a one-bedroom condo on Carlton Avenue; a brownstone on Henry Street. It's fall and the leaves blow in eddies on the sidewalk. She gets cold and turns away from the window to walk off down the street just as dusk begins to arrive in earnest. The occasional "For Sale" sign swings on its hinges, and the story of the day ends only to begin again in the morning.

Pacific student shares impressions from Japan
March 9, 2012
Leilani Powers '13 is studying abroad in Japan, where much of her family lives. She shares her impressions of the recovery a year after the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
Pride in Her People
Pacific sophomore Charlotte Basch started re-writing her people's history when she was 12. Now, she is a leader in the Clatsop-Nehalem Tribe and is studying ways to help bring her heritage back to life.
Learning experience
Pacific's College of Education is taking a new approach to teacher training, embedding science and math professionals in the diverse, high-needs Woodburn School District.
New Faces at Pacific University
Cultural metamorphoses are occurring in the U.S., and Pacific University's demographics follow suit. Students, faculty, staff and alumni—along with various partnerships and programs—see positive changes.
Memorabilia: Black Student Union
The Black Student Union at its peak in the mid-1970s drew students from Pacific—as well as students attending other Portland schools—to Forest Grove. Members and community leaders gathered for events, hosted seminars and attended the only Black Studies program in the region at that time.
Soccer and Immigration

MEMORABLE MOMENT: Sleider, Janssen engagement
Kimberly Sleider of New Berlin, Wis., and Dan Janssen of Duluth, plan to be married Oct. 11, 2014.
Sleider, Janssen
Kimberly Sleider of New Berlin, Wis., and Dan Janssen of Duluth, plan to be married Oct. 11, 2014.
Her parents are Judy Sleider of New Berlin and the late Vince Sleider. His parents are David and Susan Janssen of Duluth.
The future bride, a 2005 graduate of New Berlin West High School, graduated from Milwaukee Area Technical College in 2009 with an associate degree in architectural technology and from the University of Minnesota this year with a bachelor's degree in architecture. She is currently pursuing a master's degree in urban planning.
The future groom, a 2005 graduate of Duluth East High School, graduated from the Milwaukee School of Engineering in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and from the University of Minnesota in 2011 with a master's degree in mechanical engineering. He is currently pursuing a doctorate in mechanical engineering-thermal fluid sciences.
The couple's website is http: //JanssenSleider. ourwedding.com
No mouse in this house!
Dan had ordered two computer mice, one for Kimberly and one for himself. Little did Kimberly know that her carefully repackaged box did not contain a mouse for her computer, but a beautiful ring and a sweet message asking 'Will you marry me?' The answer was simple — 'YES!' In that one moment our lives changed forever.
Following that wonderful moment was dinner and much celebrating! Geeky? Maybe, but the inside of a PC mouse box was the last place she'd have expected!

Nike+ and Nike+GPS just tracks your runs. The Nike Fuel Band tracks your overall daily activity as "Fuel Points". Basically, I set my goal (for me, 3,400) and do whatever it takes to reach that goal every day. Everything I do counts towards that goal. Walking the dogs, planting a tree, raking leaves etc. My goal usually requires me jog 20mins or walk 1hour every day to reach it. Something about those colored LED lights motivates me...

Anyone else have any insight to get past that?

I have a little sizing info that might help. When I wrapped the sizing guide around my wrist, I was very much into the Large section so I ordered a Large. My band showed up yesterday and I wore it all evening after removing the 8mm insert link (so no links attached). It was still a little big and moved up and down on my wrist about 1.5". I've sent it back to exchange for a Medium. I'm sure the small area of room it had to move wouldn't affect results all that much, but I would rather have a snug fit, more like a watch band.

Just received my fuelband yesterday. Just wondering, how tight should the fuelband be when it's on your wrist?
Using the sizing guide, I was at the small and medium borderline, so I ended up ordering the medium. I tried to wear the medium without any links, and feels just a bit tighter than I'd like, so I put on the 8mm link. With the 8mm link, now it seems a bit loose. How tight should the band be around your wrist? |

I'm sending mine back. I was definitely happy with how it works, and after a week of using it, it is beyond accurate "enough". But it's a glorified pedometer.
For $150 we really should be getting a GPS enabled device with a full time watch face and possibly more interaction between the iPhone and it. Heck, make it a streaming music player with a headphone jack. The Nike+ FuelBand works very well, but it's simply not worth $150.

First of all, this watch is not due out until September if no set backs happen. Even then, I would not "buy" a product before it is even released or reviewed. Next, you need your phone with you or close Bluetooth range when exercising in order to use GPS for running, cycling, etc. This is ridiculous. As a runner, you want to be lightweight as possible. Not the same product really. Fuel band is for fitness. This is geared more as an accessory for your mobile phone. |

I havent got one of these yet, but they do look really great. I'm really into my fitness (running mainly) and i believe this will be really useful to me. Especially for keeping me motiviated when i feel like i've done enough lol

I liked it, it worked well for me. I can't really say if it was perfectly accurate or not. But for what I wanted it worked. I returned mine and went with the Fitbit instead. Mostly because of size and being able to wear it on a belt or pocket instead of my wrist. I hated the Fuelband because I work on my Macbook all day and it kept hitting the palm rest and it was really annoying.

I used mine for a week then returned it. Nothing wrong with it, but I don't think I'm the kind of person it is intended for. I'm a runner and exercise very regularly. So I don't really need the extra motivation. None of my friends have it so couldn't really compete with anyone or cheer anyone on. I found the pedometer really inaccurate. Didn't really do any formal test but woke up at 9am one morning and just lounged around for an hour, by 10:00 I supposedly walked 400+ steps, impossible. It is also very easy to reach the 2000 goal, almost too easy. Obviously you can make your goal higher. To me it was really just a cool watch. Maybe in the future Nike can incorporate a heart monitor to get more accurate data and also tracking sleep cycles would be cool.
