text: April 2, 2012: Effective today, Craig Hill became the new unit vice president of Survey and Computing Sciences (SCS). Hill will also continue as the division vice president of the Survey Research Division (SRD) as the search for candidates is conducted. "We firmly believe that Craig is an outstanding candidate for this new position and that he will work actively with SSES and all RTI staff to ensure a seamless and productive transition," said Wayne Holden, President and CEO of RTI International. "These changes represent a commitment to executing on our internal succession plan that we have worked actively on over the last several years. Much work has gone into preparing our management team for potential roles in the event of a change in our management structure," he said. Hill joined RTI initially in 1998 as a senior survey director, principal scientist and department manager for SRD. After a two-year stint at Medrock, Inc., he rejoined RTI in 2002 as vice president of SRD. During his career, he has also served as a research vice president at the National Opinion Research Center. During his more than 30 years in the area of survey research, he has directed projects for a wide variety of federal, academic and commercial clients. As the vice president of SRD, he has been responsible for a portfolio of more than 100 studies and 150 professional staff members.Hill has published and presented more than 50 papers related to survey methods, including topics as diverse as hospital ranking methodology, interviewer fraud and new technology for surveys. Hill holds a master's and a doctorate degree in political science from the University of New Orleans, and a bachelor's in political science from Northern Illinois University.

Darwinism's contradiction with religion
Follow @harun_yahya
In our day, some circles hold the view that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution does not contradict with religion, and that those who renounce the theory of evolution unnecessarily promote it. This view, however, includes many misconceptions. It is the result of a failure to grasp the main tenet of Darwinism and the extremely dangerous outlook it mandates. That is why, for those who have faith in the existence of God, the mere Creator of all living-beings, yet carry the conviction that "God created living beings through evolution", it would be quite useful to primarily review the fundamental tenets of the theory. In this essay, in an endeavor to warn believers who have this misconception, some essential scientific and logical explanations regarding why the theory of evolution is not compatible with Islam and the fact of Creation it introduces to mankind, are provided.
The basic tenet of Darwinism holds that living beings came into being spontaneously, as a result of coincidences. This view is completely contrary to the faith of Creation.
The most important misconception of those who think that the theory of evolution does not contradict with creation is their assumption that the basic assertion of the theory of evolution is that living beings came into existence through evolving from one another. Accordingly, they comment: "There is no reason why God did not create all living beings by making them evolve from one another; so what is the rationale to raise objection to it?" However, there is a very important point here which is ignored: the essential difference between the advocates of evolution and creation is not based on the question of whether "living beings appeared individually or through evolving from each other.
The main question is "whether living beings came into existence by chance and as result of natural events, or they were consciously created?"
The theory of evolution, as known, claims that lifeless chemical compounds came together by chance and as a result of randomly occurring natural phenomena, they formed first the building blocks of life and ultimately life. Consequently, in its core, this claim accepts time, lifeless matter and chance to be creative powers. Even the layman, who is somewhat acquainted with the literature of evolution, is aware that this is the basis of the claims of evolutionists. Not surprisingly, despite being an evolutionist scientist, Pierre Paul Grassé, acknowledges the implausibility of the theory and summarizes what the concept of "coincidence" means for evolutionists:
"…Chance becomes a sort of providence, which, under the cover of atheism, is not named but which is secretly worshipped."
(Pierre Paul Grassé,
Evolution of Living Organisms
, New York, Academic Press, 1977, p.107)
That life is an arbitrary by-product of the compound formed by time, matter and coincidence, on the other hand, is a nonsense claim unacceptable by those who have faith in the existence of God as the sole Creator of all living beings.
Believers should assume the responsibility to save societies from such perverted and unreal beliefs and warn them.
The claim of "coincidence" put forward by the theory of evolution is denied by science
Another significant fact that deserves a special consideration about this subject is that scientific discoveries also definitely refute the evolutionist claims that "life emerged as a result of pure coincidences and natural phenomena." This is because there are extraordinarily complex examples of design in life. Even the cell of a living being is a great wonder of design that totally annuls the concept of "coincidence".
This superior design and plan in life are certainly indications of God's unique and matchless creation, of His eternal knowledge and might.
The efforts of evolutionists to explain the origins of life with chance are rejected by science in the 20
century and today, in the 21
century, they met a total defeat. (See Harun Yahya,
Blunders of Evolutionists
, Vural Publishing) Indeed, the reason why they deny Creation although they see this fact is their blind adherence to irreligiousness.
God did not create living beings through an evolutionary process
Since the existence of creation, in other words, a conscious design, is obvious, the only question that remains is "through what kind of a process the living beings were created." The misconception of some faithful people emerges right at this point: The wrong reasoning that "Living being could have been created by evolving from one another" is actually related to how the process of creation occurred.
Indeed, had God willed, He could have created living beings through an evolutionary process from nothingness, as the abovementioned individuals propose. And had science proved that living beings evolved from each other, we could say, "God created life through evolution." For instance, if there were any evidence available that reptiles evolved to form birds, then we would say, "God transformed reptiles into birds with His command 'Be'!". Ultimately, both these living beings individually possess bodies overflowing with examples of perfect design, which cannot be explained away by chance. Transformation of these designs into one another -had such a thing really happened- would surely be another evidence for creation.
However, the situation is not so. Scientific evidence (especially the fossil record and comparative anatomy) point to the contrary; there is not single evidence on earth that an evolutionary process took place on the earth. The fossil record clearly indicate that different living species did not appear on earth through evolving from one another by fine gradations, but that on the contrary, distinct living species appeared on earth suddenly fully formed and without any preceding ancestors similar to them. Neither birds sprung from reptiles, nor fish transformed into land-dwelling animals. Each living phylum is created individually with its traits particular to its kind. Even the most renowned evolutionists had to accept this fact and confess that this provides an evidence for Creation. For instance, evolutionist paleontologist Mark Czarnecki confesses as follows:
"A major problem in proving the theory (evolution theory) has been the fossil record; the imprints of vanished species preserved in the Earth's geological formations. This record has never revealed traces of Darwin's hypothetical intermediate variants - instead species appear and disappear abruptly,
and this anomaly has fueled the creationist argument that each species was created by God.
(Mark Czarnecki, "The
Revival of the Creationist Crusade",
, 19 January 1981, p. 56)
Especially during the last fifty years, developments in various scientific fields such as paleontology, microbiology, genetics and comparative anatomy, and new discoveries show that the theory of evolution is untrue and living beings appeared on earth all of a sudden in their distinct and perfect forms. Therefore, there is no reason to suggest that God employed the process of evolution in Creation. God created every species individually and at one moment, with His command of "Be!" This is a certain and explicit fact.
It is of vital importance for people of faith to be alert and cautious against the ideological systems committed to struggle against God and religion. For 150 years, Darwinism provided a so-called scientific ground for all anti-religionist ideologies that caused misery for mankind, such as fascism, communism, and imperialism and legitimized the merciless practices of those who adopted these philosophies. Hence, it would not be right to ignore the inner truth and the real purpose of such a theory. For each Muslim of conscience, it is a major responsibility to disprove every anti-religious ideology rejecting the existence of God with a thought struggle, to demolish falsehood with truth and warn people.

Empire Earth Review (PC)
Empire Earth is indeed an ambitious project. There are 14 different epochs that give the game vast replay possibilities. Admittedly, not all 14 epochs are significantly different but there is enough variety here to please most people. There is a significant change at the third epoch, Copper, at the Renaissance epoch, because you get gunpowder, and at the World War 1 epoch because you get tanks and planes. The last two epochs also offer an interesting addition in the form of Cybers. These mech-like units are more interesting than one might imagine. They each have unique capabilities and can do some serious butt-kickin'! They really do make the Digital and Nano ages a lot of fun.
The resource collecting (there is always resource collecting in an RTS game right?) is a lot like the Age of Empires series though not as much micromanagement is needed. I am not a huge fan of the villager/peon/citizen form of resource collecting but SSSI does what it can to make this a little easier. At first look it doesn't appear all that simple. You need to collect food, wood, stone, iron, and gold. Wow! That's a lot, right? Yes, it is, and you have to learn to balance those very well to be good at this game. Some things that make it a little easier are farms that don't have to be replanted and mines that do not run out of resources……all resources can be collected in the same building. This makes the whole process easier as you just assign citizens to the resources and you leave them alone. Later in the game there is very little to worry about in regards to the economy so you really get to spend more time on fighting. Isn't that why we play RTS games? Yes!
There are well over 200 different units that you can choose from as you advance through the epochs. You start with cavemen who carry slings and clubs. You advance through the usual pikemen, cavalry and cannons of the Middle ages on into tanks and planes in later epochs. Some units are phased out and some can be upgraded to all new units. Air power takes on great significance with bombers, fighters, fighter/bombers, and nuclear bombers. That's right, NUCLEAR BOMBERS! This one has a seriously large explosion and does some serious damage. Very cool to use and to watch. Air power can be a little complicated to use but the flight patterns look very nice, somewhat similar to the way Total Annihilation did their planes. In addition to the normal soldiers there are also "Heroes" that are available. These special units come in two types. One is a strategic unit and the other is a warrior. They give morale to your troops and help them to fight better. The strategist also heals units while the warrior is a fierce combat unit.
There is plenty to enjoy here for the single player gamer as well as the multiplayer gamer. There are numerous campaigns that are not only fun to play but challenging as well. The AI is definitely not a pushover either. Newbies need to start on easy and hope that someday they can compete on the hard level. Skirmish mode is fun and you even see a number of "comp-stomp" games online.
When playing online one of the first things you do is to select a civilization. This is a little different from the Age of Empires series where you selected your civilization before the game launched. In EE this selection process is on-the-fly, and for the most part, it prevents others from selecting a civilization to counter yours. There are no unique units but your civilization does give you bonuses in certain areas. These bonuses do things like speed up citizens or make your cavalry stronger or many other varied options. You also can play a "Custom Civ" game where you choose what bonuses you would like with an overall limit on how many you can get. These custom civs can be built before the game starts in a custom civ builder. There is also an excellent scenario editor that gives a lot of flexibility for creating maps or missions or campaigns.
Some would say that I am biased towards EE because I am the webmaster at a fan site. To be honest though, after playing the demo and the beta, I was less than enthused. In fact, I was thinking that EE was not going to be something I wanted to play as a dedicated RTS gamer. After playing the retail version, and playing it intensely for awhile now, I would have to say that my opinion has definitely changed. This game is just plain addicting if you are a diehard RTS player. Don't judge this game by the demo!
When was the last time you actually read a game manual? Not only do you need to read this one but you will "want" to read this one. SSSI and Sierra have given us an excellent 200+ page manual that covers many aspects of the game. Also included is a hotkey card with dozens and dozens of hotkeys. There is also a huge foldout chart that shows epochs, units, buildings and much more. The documentation is well-done and is definitely a positive for the gaming experience.
The depth of EE is truly amazing. Since the tank rushing days of Red Alert I always look to see how many ways you can realistically win a game in any new RTS. In EE you have multiple ways of defeating your enemy. I haven't even mentioned priests or prophets yet. Though some people hate them they are valuable units which can turn the tide of victory in your favor. The prophet can call down all sorts of calamities upon your enemy including a cool looking volcano, the plague, and many more. EE also continues the tradition of wonders but these are different. They actually do something and, though they are expensive, they can be built regularly. One of my favorite wonders is the Library of Alexandria. When you build it you can see the location of every building that your enemy owns. This is a great weapon to have as you can hit your enemy with artillery or other long-range weapons.
The vast number of units is almost overwhelming but are fun to learn as every unit has a counter unit. There is also a naval warfare. These all can be upgraded through the ages so this helps to simplify the battles on the sea. Aircraft choices also include helicopters. There are four different kinds of helicopters that can be built, with each having a specific task.
The biggest draw that EE has is that it is just so big. There are so many options that some might feel a little overwhelmed but for the diehard gamer, it is heaven. Don't know what epoch to begin in? No problem. Just select random and you will randomly start in anyone of the 14 different epochs. There are choices for starting resources and modes of play and on and on. EE can be played in so many ways. If you only play during the middle epochs you might feel like you are playing an Age of Empires clone. But if you only play those epochs then you are missing the real fun part of EE. It is so much more than those few epochs. It is almost like 4 or 5 games in one.
It's a little tougher to find negative things to say about EE, though it certainly is not a perfect game.
One of the complaints that many people have with the game is that the 3D engine is not fully utilized. You can zoom in and out but you cannot rotate the camera. This might be a good thing but one has to stop and ask why a 3D engine was needed in the first place. If it really was not going to be used very much it would make more sense to just leave it out. It seems to many that EE could just as easily have been made in 2D and not suffered at all.
Speaking of zooming in, you don't really want to do that. The worst part about zooming in is that it reveals just how poor the graphics are. Though the game looks alright from a normal view it is easy to see just how few polygons were used when you step into the action just a little. I'm not saying that EE is an ugly game but some compromises were made in this area to keep the game running at a decent pace on slower machines. Some people love the graphics and some people hate them. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground on this topic.
Sierra's gaming service is also a shortcoming in the process of playing EE online. To be honest, the service is just barely adequate. I have seen better functionality in RTS game lobbies that were released 5 years ago. Many people that play EE come from an Age of Empires background so they naturally compare this service to The Zone. Trust me, the Sierra lobbies are woefully lacking by comparison. Hopefully Sierra will make some changes here. In the meantime, EE is now playable on GameSpy and the interface there is a little better than Sierra.
One of my personal gripes with EE is not about the gameplay but about something that limits the immersion factor. As somewhat of a history buff it pains me to have the same units available for every civilization. It seems weird to pick England and then produce Panzer tanks or fly ME-109s. Or to choose France and fly P-51s and Fokkers. Every player uses the very same units. There are no real different sides. This is very different for me. I am comfortable with unique sides like the Zerg or Protoss or Terran of StarCraft. Or at least having unique units like in Age of Empires. But thats not the case here. Everybody fights with the same identical units.
Another common complaint is rushing. This is one of those complaints that is heard in every RTS since the genre first started. This early attack is very much alive and well in EE. If you play an "Experts Only" game then expect to get rushed. This is something that seemingly cannot be avoided in an RTS game but at times does take some of the fun out of it. Do yourself a favor and just avoid those expert only games. You'll have more fun playing average players who like to "epoch up" and build huge armies and have unbelievably large battles.
The advertising for EE says that epoch is too small of a word. Believe it. This game is massive and massively FUN!!

If you looked up into the sky last night, you may have witnessed an annular solar eclipse, when the moon does not completely block the sun, but leaves a fiery ring around its circumference. Also known as the Ring of Fire, it was visible from only certain parts of the world - the Chinese coast, northern Taiwan, the south of Japan, and the western United States. For American skywatchers this was particularly signifiant since it marked the first time in 18 years that an annular solar eclipse could be seen from the United States!

Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Soft Chews are recommended for pets exposed to increased environmental stressors. When pets can't adapt to stress it can lead to nervousness, hyperactivity, excess barking, abnormal urine marking, excessive scratching, and destructive or aggressive behavior.
Recommended for
Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Soft Chews help alleviate stress related behavior problems without affecting your animal's personality or energy level. It can be used daily or when extra help to relax is needed. It contains a combination of factors not found in other calming formulas such as a Colostrum Calming Complex, L-Theanine and Thiamine (Vitamin B1) which all address stress and calming.
B Vitamins help manage stress and help maintain normal disposition. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) has been shown to affect the central nervous system to help calm and relax anxious animals. Because Thiamine is not stored in the body, increased activity, stress, illness, or increased metabolism deplete its levels in the body. Deficiencies cause mental confusion, muscular weakness, muscle spasms, nervousness, and weight and appetite loss during periods of stress.
Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Soft Chews do not contain any herbal ingredients (Kava, Valerian, St. John's Wort, etc.) or L-Tryptophan. Its ingredients do not cause side effects, addiction, and drowsiness or impaired motor skills.
About the Formula
Colostrum Calming Complex is isolated from the milk protein casein and is known for its calming effects, and it works synergistically with the L-Theanine in this formula. L-Theanine supports calming and relaxation, reduces irritability and low mood states. L-Theanine has been extensively researched for its ability to help curb destructive behavior. L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in green tea that is a derivative of glutamic acid a neurotransmitter in the brain. It helps the body to produce other calming amino acids, such as Dopamine, GABA and Tryptophan and helps bring certain neurotransmitters into better balance. Studies done on L-Theanine showed that dogs were calm and relaxed without adverse effects or drowsiness; dogs were alert, playful, and calmer than expected, given their situations.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Soft Chews:
Great product. My Pom is a picky eater, but he loves to get his calming bone. I am slowly seeing results; it has definitely taken some of the edge off his fearfulness of men. Hachi takes 1 daily, sometimes 2 if we are going out. There are no miracle drugs, no overnight cures for this problem, but this really has helped Hachi and I to work through the issue.

These work wonders
By Crazy Hoss
from Arvada, CO
I have a very high energy dog that suffers from seperation anxiety, he is almost unliveable without this supplement. We ran out of these and he was out of control. This supplement calms him enough that he is able to control himself. I can't recommend them enough.
I would buy again.

I use the product before taking my cat to board, flying, and car travel. She no longer gets car sick. Nothing else worked.
Cat's Enjoyed Them
By Jazzcat
from Ohio
I give one of these to each of my three cats before bedtime. They love them! I'm not going to say they completely changed their temperamant, as I didn't really notice a change. But, I also give them the treats at night, so I'm sleeping through most of the time the treat would be in effect. I bought these mainly because the ingredients were so much better than what I can find at my local pet or grocery store. So, in that aspect...they were great!

Great Explorers – A tribute to Sir Edmund Hillary
A tribute to Sir Edmund Hillary (July 20th 1919 – January 11 2008)
Every month we feature information about a great explorer, however this month we would like to pay a special tribute to the great explorer Sir Edmund Hillary - a great mountaineer and explorer, his achievements were an inspiration to many people and we know that many Exodus travellers will have been saddened at the news of his death this month.
On 29 May 1953 at the age of 33, he and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. They were part of the ninth British expedition to Everest, led by John Hunt.
Hillary was part of a British reconnaissance expedition to Everest in 1951 led by Eric Shipton before joining the successful British attempt of 1953.
In 1952 Hillary and George Lowe were part of the British team led by Eric Shipton that attempted Cho Oyu. After that attempt failed due to the lack of route from the Nepal side, Hillary and Lowe crossed the Lho-La into Tibet and reached the old Camp II, on the northern side, where all the pre-war expeditions camped.
1953 Everest Expedition
John Hunt led Hillary's 1953 expedition to Mt. Everest. The route to Everest was closed by Chinese-controlled Tibet, and Nepal only allowed one expedition per year.
The Hunt expedition totalled over 400 people, including 362 porters, twenty Sherpa guides and 10,000 lbs of baggage and like many such expeditions, was a team effort. Hillary forged a route through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall.
The expedition set up base camp in March 1953, working slowly it set up its final camp at the South Col at 7,900 metres (25,900 ft). On 26 May Bourdillon and Evans attempted the climb but turned back when Evans' oxygen system failed. The pair had reached the South Summit, coming within 300 vertical feet (91 m) of the summit. Hunt then directed Hillary and Tenzing to go for the summit.
Snow and wind held Hillary and Tenzing up at the South Col for two days, they set out on 28 May with a support trio of Lowe, Alfred Gregory and Ang Nyima. The two pitched their tent at 8,500 metres (27,900 ft) on 28 May while their support group returned down the mountain.
On the following morning Hillary discovered that his boots had frozen solid outside the tent. He spent two hours warming them before he and Tenzing attempted the final ascent wearing 30-pound (14 kg) packs. The crucial move of the last part of the ascent was the 40-foot (12 m) rock face later named the "Hillary Step". Hillary saw a means to wedge his way up a crack in the face between the rock wall and the ice and Tenzing followed. From there the following effort was relatively simple. They reached Everest's 29,028 ft (8,848 m) summit, the highest point on earth, at 11:30 am. As Hillary put it, "A few more whacks of the ice axe in the firm snow, and we stood on top."
They spent only about 15 minutes at the summit. They unsuccessfully looked for evidence of the earlier Mallory expedition. Hillary took Tenzing's photo, Tenzing left chocolates in the snow as an offering, and Hillary left a cross that he had been given. Sadly because Tenzing did not know how to use a camera, there are no pictures of Hillary there.
The two had to take care on the descent after discovering that drifting snow had covered their tracks to complicate the task. The first person they met was Lowe, who had climbed up to greet them from their monumental achievement with hot soup.

I waited Approx. one month before Writing this Review. I usually order my work boots in a Wide size as I wear thicker socks at work. These boots did fit to size but I feel the width wasn''t true to size. They felt like regular width. But after a few weeks of wearing them they do feel comfortable and I would buy them again. I would just see if I could get them in a double wide size.

Title: | Segre Lecture: Why Are We So Excited About Carbon Nanostructures? (Special) |
Start Date: | 09/22/2008 |
Time: | 6:30 pm |
Location: | 155 Dwinelle |
Speaker: | Mildred Dresselhaus |
Affiliation: | MIT |
Contact Person: | Nathan Proctor (510) 642-3034 |
Details: | There is much current excitement about the interesting advances in science and the unusual physical properties of carbon nanostructures, particularly carbon nanotubes and graphene, which are both of great interest at the present time. A brief review will be given of the physical underpinnings of carbon nanostructures that were developed over the past 60 years, starting with the electronic structure and physical properties of graphene and graphite, and then moving to graphite intercalation compounds which contained the first carbon nanostructures to be studied experimentally. Liquid carbon studies were precursors to the fullerene family of nanostructures and vapor grown carbon fibers were precursors to carbon nanotubes. Particular emphasis is given to the recent developments in our understanding of the photophysics of carbon nanotubes and graphene, with perspectives on future research directions for these fields and applications that are emerging.

Definition of targa in English:
Syllabification: tar·gaPronunciation: /ˈtärgə
- A type of convertible sports car with hood or panel that can be removed, especially leaving a central roll bar for passenger safety: a targa roofMore example sentences
- Though the Italian supercar is actually 44 lb lighter than the Porsche, the Ferrari should have a weight advantage because its roof is fixed, whereas the German contender has removable targa panels.
- Toyota introduced the Soarer Aero Cabin in 1989, which was equipped with an electronically operated metal-top targa roof.
- In my gown I pulled off the targa top and headed towards Spago.
Italian, literally 'shield', given as a name to a model of Porsche with a detachable hood (1965), probably suggested by the Targa Florio ( 'Florio Shield'), a motor time trial held annually in Sicily.

Michigan Tech has a reputation of being a tough school and it's reputation is well earned. Every class I've taken has been a challenge but nothing too extreme. The university takes academic dishonestly very seriously and strives to ensure that every grade is well earned and up to snuff with what's demanded in the real world. Despite all of this, it was an easy transition from high school. Michigan Tech has dedicated learning centers for each field of study, staffed with students who know the material backwards and forwards. There's always someone to help you with something. The biggest mistake...
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 60 reviews for Michigan Technological University

MTU HAS SUCH A BEST FACILITIES AND WETHER HERE IS AWESOME. LOCATION: City: Houghton State/Province: Michigan
Read MoreAt Michigan Tech, there are always things to do, because the location is ideal for the outdoor activities. Everyone is extremely nice and accepting, especially they are the down-to-earth type of people. Most importantly the school is perfect for getting the perfect education in the sciences, because there are so many recourses and opportunities to do research in your field.
Read MoreMichigan Technological University is filled with opportunities to strengthen every individual who wants work hard for their degree. A research institute that has such strong bonds with companies, that they will come back to a career fair held up at the tip top of Michigan's borders, tells the story of how much industry believes in this University. The faculty inspires the future here at Tech, but they really inspire their students to become the future, and this University gives all students the opportunity to experience industry, research, and to build leadership skills and be the future.
Read MoreIf you don't mind the snow and like a less crowded environment then this school would be great for you. The campus is not too large and doesn't take too long to get from one side to the other. This university is a lot of fun specially if you participate in the winter activities such as Winter Carnival while the classes are still intelligent and help is readily available at the many help centers.
Read MoreTech has a great small town atmosphere and a lot of character. The first thing everyone will ask about when you get home is the weather, because it snows, a lot. The scenery up in Houghton is beautiful and the people are friendly.
Read MoreMichigan Technological University is one of the top rated engineering schools in the country. With more and more job needs coming from engineering degrees, Michigan Technological University was the best choice for me. The level of educational difficulty is high, but the reward is also high.
Read MoreThe best decision I ever made. Super friendly people and staff. Lots of cold weather and hard classes.
Read MoreI love the people and campus at Michigan Tech. The professors seem really nice as do the students. I give Michigan Tech an A overall.
Read MoreTech is the hardest school in the state, hands down. The people are awesome. Make sure you go to class every day though.

Ever since childhood, I remember being fascinated by the notion of crazy people; to the extent that when a primary school teacher read a poem about a crazy woman, and asked the class what they thought, I piped up by saying "Well, maybe she isn't crazy; she just sees the world differently. Maybe we are the ones that are crazy". I was eight.

I don't think there's any denying that Jesus was a pretty stand up guy.

It's no surprise that children love the idea of keeping a rabbit as a pet - they are exceptionally cute and fluffy, and particularly at this time of year.

5 Things to Know Before Hanging Artwork
Prints and paintings can be delicate. Protect them with these easy-to-follow tips.
William Abranowicz
- Beware of sunlight and heat, both of which can damage art. When you have pieces framed, ask for UV-coated glass. And take note of windows and radiators before you choose a spot for anything precious.
- Tighten slack wires on the backs of frames, especially if your goal is precision hanging (lining up art in a grid, say). A loose wire makes it hard to control the height of a piece.
- To protect walls, use peel-and-stick clear rubber bumpers on the back corners of frames. Rubber pads, $4.50 for 18, dickblick.com.
- Choose the right hooks for the weight of your art. Ook brand hooks offer a range of up to 160 pounds and leave tiny holes that are easy to repair if you change your mind. Shields professional hangers, from $5, ooks.com.
- Fix mistakes on a white wall with Spackle (sold at hardware stores) and a fingertip. Apply a tiny dot over a hole, then smooth with a damp paper towel. (White toothpaste can do the job in a pinch.)

Another possibility: You may be drawn to this type of woman in order to play out the valiant knight role and save her from herself.
What it means: "If you want a wild ride, you're not ready for a real relationship," says Boston-based relationship, career and executive coach Suzanne Blake, author of Great News for Dating and Mating. "The rebellious girl is like a Ferrari, but to go the distance you need a station wagon." A guy who, on the other hand, is compelled to rescue a self-destructive diva may really be looking for an ego stroke himself. "It feels good to be a hero, but ask yourself: Will she still be attractive to you if she settles down?" says Blake. Whatever attracts you to this type of woman, take care to protect your heart. "She may seem exciting and passionate, but she may turn out to be an emotionally unstable person who could contaminate your life with her antics," warns clinical psychologist Molly Barrow, Ph.D., author of Matchlines: A Revolutionary New Way of Looking at Relationships and Making the Right Choices in Love.

The usual suspects: Kelly "Anytime" Clarkson, Sheryl "Soak up the Sun" Crow, Martina "Happy Girl" McBride
What's so hot about her? If you fall for this type of chick, you like the always-available, low-maintenance woman whose dream date is a tailgate party. If you're on the rebound, the easygoing gal always looks good. But she's also particularly attractive to the fiery, ambitious, Type-A kind of guy. "If you're high-maintenance yourself, you may be attracted to someone who doesn't demand much," says Blake.
What it means: "Your life is already intense — you don't want to deal with drama in a relationship," says Blake. Trouble is, you could get bored with Ms. Mellow. Accomplished, driven men may not be satisfied over the long haul with a woman who doesn't compete with them neck-and-neck. "Balance is important in any relationship," points out Barrow. "If one partner is too laid back, the relationship can become stagnant." That said, don't take the easygoing gal for granted. Being low-maintenance doesn't make her a doormat. Open up the communication, tell her what you need and challenge her to challenge you — you may just be in for a nice surprise!
3. The Superstar Sweetheart
The usual suspects: Beyoncé (the "Hip Hop Star" who's all about "Me, Myself and I"), Gwen Stefani (the "Luxurious," "Cool," "Serious," "Rich Girl"), Fergie ("The Dutchess," with a tune in her own homage, "Fergalicious")
What's so hot about her? Duh! If you're drawn to this kind of woman, you're into the whole package... the body, the brains, the bank account — she's the woman everyone wants. Of course, she may be unattainable (as in, involved with someone else). But if you do land the perfect lady, well, that would make you pretty darned perfect, too.
What it means: It's great to have high standards, but if no regular girl is good enough and your pattern is a romantic mission impossible, you may be a "perennial pursuer" in therapy-speak. In other words, your quest for the ideal woman could be an excuse to avoid a relationship. If you do succeed and reel in a superstar, beware: Since the world revolves around her, "she may not be able to be there for you when you really need to talk," says Barrow. Ask yourself if you'd be frustrated going around in her shadow. "Most men want to feel they bring something to the table," says Blake. "You don't want to be her Chihuahua."
4. The Femme Fatale
The usual suspects: Christina Aguilera (the "Stripped" siren who's "Still Dirrty"), Shakira (who wants to get "Underneath Your Clothes," "Whenever, Wherever"), and "Only Girl (In the World)" Rihanna
What's so hot about her? A woman who's confident about her sexuality casts quite a spell. Being with her makes you feel good — physically, of course, but also emotionally, since it's a big boost to be with such an obvious object of desire.
What it means: You may be looking at relationships in a shallow way right now. "Passion diminishes to some degree after a point — only depth can satisfy long-term," says Blake. "Getting physical is not the only way to get support from a woman. She should have the spirituality and emotional intelligence to see you through the ups and downs." Oh, and another caveat? The woman who screams seduction at you may be broadcasting the same message elsewhere (or everywhere). That doesn't mean you must forgo the Femme Fatale — often, her bawdy bravado is a cover-up for what's really going on inside. "Find the substantial person beneath the sexy image," suggests Blake.
5. The Ditzy Diva
The usual suspects: Jessica Simpson (who sang "Walkin' 'Round in a Circle," "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)," and the Pulitzer-worthy "Push the Tush"), Britney Spears (who just wants to "Do Somethin'" despite singing "Oops…I Did It Again") and Katy Perry (the "Teenage Dream" you went out with "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)")
What's so hot about her? She's innocent, adorable and hilarious (even if she doesn't always get the joke). "When you're with her you feel strong and powerful," says Blake.
What it means: If you're drawn to this type of woman, brace yourself for a you-give-she-takes affair. Is this a good thing? "You bring so much to the relationship, but there's no reciprocity," Blake says. "When you give, you're in control. When you receive, you show vulnerability." Over time, however, such a one-sided relationship can become exhausting. "She might keep you laughing until she forgets to pick up the kids at daycare," cautions Barrow. Try encouraging the ditzy diva to step up, figure something out on her own, and basically be there for you. She may be "playing dumb" because that act has worked for her in the past... after all, it got your attention! But there's a good chance she can do better. Why not lay down the challenge and see?

My husband and I recently purchased a Mercedes Sprinter van. Problem is, we don't like being boxed in tight spaces. I love the van, but we dislike being so close to other campers. We're going to try it out for a year, and if it doesn't appeal to us we'll simply sell it. We have two dogs that need daily exercise. We live by the ocean, so they run freely there daily. Im taking early retirement next year, and we'd like to find a warm winter destination (California, arizona). I see that some of the resorts only allow motorhomes in that are larger than 30 feet. What's with that? I've seen a couple (online) that have an outdoor living area (shade, cooking, fridge) and those look nice. But what about 'the dogs'? How do people keep them on the property? Any such thing as renting a fenced rv lot? Hubby wants to golf. I want pools. 'The dogs' and spacious lots are my two biggest concerns. We may be better off renting houses, and getting rid of this lovely rv. We've taken a couple trips in it already. Traveling with the dogs is a real pain (scooping poop, walks, no barking... Keeping everybody safe and happy) but they are the main reason we bought the thing. At this point, I'm just looking for where to begin searching for rv, golf resorts that MIGHT suit our needs. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. By the way, we are from the coast of Washington state. Thanks again.

From what I read here I would sell the van and go with plan B. You will never find an RV park or resort with big sites and a dog play ground around the site. You will find tons of other RV people and some parks may have 1700 to 1800 sites on a small amount of land. -------------------- John

Also WEEI.com is reporting that OL Jonathan Compas, RB Richard Medlin and WR Buddy Farnham have been cut. Farnham, a Massachusetts native who played at Brown, was on the Pats' practice squadnlast year and could return.
New England must pare its roster from 80 players to the regular-season maximum of 53 by tomorrow evening.

By Jason Horowitz and Mary Pat Flaherty
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — The office of Mike Crapo would like the three-term Republican senator to be known for his work on the powerful banking committee, for his participation as a member of the Gang of Eight on big-budget concerns and for his efforts to resolve a decades-old land management issue in Idaho's Owyhee County.
Instead, Crapo has entered the public's consciousness as the Mormon senator who who drank vodka tonics alone in his Washington apartment on the night of Dec. 22, climbed into a 1999 white Jeep and took a half-hour drive past the monuments and into Alexandria, Va., where he ran a red light and then scored a .11 on a breath test. His arresting officer noted bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and an odor of alcohol.
On Friday morning, the 61-year-old Idahoan, wearing a grey suit with a powder-blue power tie, took a seat with a staffer and other traffic violation defendants at Alexandria District Court. Called before the judge, he pleaded guilty to drunk driving and received a suspended sentence of 180 days in jail, a $250 fine, a year's suspension of his driver's license and enrollment in an alcohol safety program. The hearing lasted 10 minutes.
Crapo's real punishment will last much longer, and it is linked less to the severity of his transgression than the degree to which his crime clashed with the squeaky-clean image of Mormon politicians that Mitt Romney personified over the past year. ("I tasted a beer and tried a cigarette once as a wayward teenager and never did it again," Romney told People magazine.) If Crapo has done himself lasting damage, it is most likely to be with Idaho voters, especially the quarter who are Mormon. They may question whether they know the man they have repeatedly elected, or whether the Potomac had poisoned their senator's principles. "He held himself up to be a certain kind of guy: straight cut, Eagle Scout, family man, former Mormon Bishop," said a Dec. 30 editorial in the Idaho State Journal. "Your reputation as a faithful Mormon conservative has been blown to smithereens."
Crapo immediately tried to put such concerns to rest. "I have recently made personal choices that are at odds with who I am, who Idahoans rightly believe me to be and who I strive to be," Crapo said Friday in front of more than a dozen reporters, cameramen and photographers in a courtyard outside the courthouse.
In his long, blanket apology, he asked the forgiveness of voters, who he said justly held him to a higher standard. Then he got specific. "In recent months, and for less than a year, I have on occasion had alcoholic drinks in my apartment. It was a poor choice to use alcohol to relieve stress — and one at odds with my personally held religious beliefs." He declined to elaborate on the source of the stress and added that he hopped into the car because he had been "restless and could not sleep." ("I was alone during this drive and never left my vehicle," he clarified.)
Unlike the lewd-conduct arrest of Crapo's former Idaho colleague, Larry Craig, the drunk driving incident is unlikely to have an impact on Crapo's reputation in the Senate, a chamber that is not particularly judgemental about the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
"His colleagues will probably view him with a certain degree of sympathy," said Jennifer Duffy, a Senate analyst at the Cook Political Report. "But this is not likely to impact his relationship with them in any negative way."
Crapo had reached out to several Republican colleagues, who said they were surprised at his arrest but expressed their support.
"He is thoroughly hurt by his own actions and feels tremendously sad that he allowed this to happen," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a fellow Mormon and good friend. "Even his wife can't understand why it happened."
Hatch described Crapo as being under tremendous stress leading up to the incident, saying that "the man has more on his plate than most senators," but he emphasized that Crapo "will make it right" and "I'll be there for him."
Crapo had been explicit about his teetotaling in the past. When he sponsored a bill to cut taxes on small beer brewers in 2010, he made a point of framing his measure as a support of businesses, not breweries, telling the Associated Press that he abstained from alcohol but would celebrate the bill's passage with a root beer. On Friday, Crapo pointedly called himself a "lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is well-known for its standards against consumption of alcohol."
The Mormon ban on alcohol stems from Section 89 of Doctrine and Covenants, one of the faith's holy scriptures. It documents the revelation, known as the "Word of Wisdom," that the religion's prophet Joseph Smith received in Kirtland, Ohio, on Feb. 27, 1833. (Church lore holds that Smith's wife, Emma, had been complaining about the brethren's smoking and drinking.) The revelation touts fruits and vegetables but reads "inasmuch as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good" and "tobacco is not for the body" and "hot drinks are not for the body or belly."
The ban has both theological and historical underpinnings. Mormons believe that God has a physical body, and thus the human body is not merely a vessel for the soul but a tabernacle to which it is forever bound. Professor Richard Bushman, a prominent Mormon historian, noted that the period during which Smith received his revelation coincided with temperance movements started in reaction to the era's rampant alcohol abuse.
For the first 100 years after the revelation, there was a great debate in the Mormon world about whether the revelation was a hard ban or simply an endorsement of moderation and clean living. (Smith himself writes of sipping wine in his journals.) During this time, bishops were known to take kegs of beer out hunting, high church leaders chomped on cigars and faithful members sipped morning coffee, Bushman said. That ended in the 1930s, when the hard-liners won the debate and abstinence became requisite for church membership. (The suitability of imbibing caffeine in non-hot drinks, however, long remained a sticking point.)
The historical uncertainty about the ban doesn't do Crapo much good. "It does not absolve Crapo of his transgressions because nowadays Mormons would be shocked," Bushman said.
A spokesman for the Mormon church declined to comment on the Crapo incident.
In a nod to Mormon supporters, Crapo said Friday morning: "I will carry through on the appropriate measures for repentance." That means Crapo will meet with his local bishop and work to attain forgiveness. The church can refer members to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, but increasingly its own social services wing treats substance abuse with a more scriptural approach. For a time Crapo will probably be asked to refrain from taking the sacrament at church, and his Temple Recommend, a physical card that faithful Mormons must present to gain admission to the sacred temples, will probably be temporarily revoked. It is unlikely that Crapo will have to appear before a church court, which is reserved for more serious transgressions such as adultery.
The attention on Crapo's arrest, in itself, validates the church's success "at trademarking clean living as part of what it means to be Mormon," said Patrick Mason, a professor of Mormon studies at Claremont Graduate University in California. "It speaks to the fact that people in America don't know much about Mormons, but they do know a couple of things, and one is that Mormons don't drink."
