Procedures and Requirements
General Administration and Enforcement Statutes
Note: You may now e-file the most commonly used forms. Click here for details.
The below sections summarize these statutes and link to relevant registration and licensing forms.
Charitable Solicitations
Initial Registration. If registering for the first time, submit the Initial Solicitation Registration Form and all requested attachments:
Alternatively, organizations that solicit in more than one state may file the Unified Registration Statement (URS) that is accepted by many states. When filing the URS, ensure appropriate responses to state-specific requirements, such as Michigan's resident agent requirement.
Expiration. The professional fundraiser license expires each year on June 30. To renew, professional fundraisers should submit an Application before the expiration date, along with a bond continuation certificate.
Campaign Financial Statements. Professional fundraisers should also note that a Campaign Financial Statement is due to the Charitable Trust Section ninety (90) days following the end of each campaign; if the campaign is ongoing, the Campaign Financial Statement is due yearly. This requirement does not apply to professional fundraisers that act solely as consultants.
Individual Solicitors. Individual solicitors that call donors or solicit door-to-door must also register by filing the Registration of Professional Solicitor form. Registration is required for each individual solicitor.
Exemptions. There are exemptions for religious organizations, governmental agencies, educational institutions, amateur theater, band and orchestra organizations, and hospitals. See MCL 14.253. To confirm your organization's exemption, submit the Request for Exemption.
Registration. There are two ways to register. First, the Charitable Trust Section automatically registers those charitable organizations that are registered to solicit under the Solicitations Act. Second, all other entities should submit either the Registration and Inventory Form for Corporations or the Registration and Inventory Form for Trusts. To maintain a charitable trust registration, organizations must file financial accountings with the Charitable Trust Section within six (6) months of the end of each fiscal year. To file, send a copy of the IRS accounting, the organization's certified audit, or, if a corporate trustee, an annual financial statement. For organizations that do not have an accounting already, they may download an IRS 990-EZ from the IRS website. Or, click here to prepare and e-file a form 990 or 990-EZ to the IRS and Charitable Trust Section.
Request for waiver. If a corporation has contributions of less than $8,000 and gross receipts less than $25,000 during their fiscal year and holds assets valued at all times during their fiscal year less than $100,000, it may qualify for a waiver of the financial accounting requirement. If any questions arise, however, the Attorney General reserves the right to request financial accountings for any years for which the requirement has been waived.
Administrative Rules. The Rules and Regulations for Charitable Trusts, R14.11 et seq of the Michigan Administrative Code provide additional detail regarding charitable trust registration requirements.
Estates with Charitable Remainders
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Mergers and Conversions. Since mergers and conversions involve the possible demise of an organization holding charitable assets or the transfer of charitable assets, the Charitable Trust Section also reviews those transactions. For charitable asset sales, such as when a nonprofit sells its assets to a for-profit, see our Charitable Asset Sale Review Process. For mergers, conversions, and withdrawals, the Charitable Trust Section generally requires the following.
If the survivor is a Michigan charitable organization that has not previously filed with the Charitable Trust Section, it should review the Request for Exemption form to determine if it is exempt from the registration requirements administered by this office. If so, it should file the Request for Exemption form. If not, the survivor should file the necessary registration forms.
For Withdrawals:
Notice must also be provided to the Attorney General if a nonprofit charitable purpose corporation with authority to conduct affairs in Michigan intends to withdraw from the state. The following is generally requested to allow an adequate review of these situations:

Crawley have signed Sierre Leone international right-back Mustapha Dumbuya on a free transfer until the end of the season, the club have confirmed.
Dumbuya last played at League One rivals Portsmouth but was released earlier this month after spending the first half of the season with the club.
He made 23 appearances during his time at Pompey, including in their 2-1 defeat to Crawley on Boxing Day.
The Reds have now moved to secure the defender's signature on a short-term deal and he will train with his new team-mates on Thursday.
Manager Richie Barker told Crawley's official website: "Mustapha is a player we have monitored for a while and he was, in my opinion, their man of the match when we played Portsmouth last month.
"He is a very athletic individual who loves to go forward but knows that his first job in the team is to defend.
"He can also play in midfield and is a player quite a few clubs were keen to sign when Portsmouth released him. Fortunately he has chosen Crawley and we are delighted to have him here."

e-cigarettes without nicotine
I everyone! Here is a list of the ingredients in the e-cigarette cartridge: NO nicotine is in them. Is it ok to smoke them before surgery? Anyone know?
vanilla extract
1-malic acid
rose oil
peach aldehyde
propylene glycol
The e cigarettes you are asking about have a nicotine-free flavor but only vapor effect, why must you simulate smoking at all? You already know that the nicotine is the problem, and "smoking" these e-cigarettes only makes others around you want to light up.
Well first of all, I did smoke until about 5 days ago. Now I have just received my e-cigarette and the cartridges (flavors) have 0 nicotine in them. They are to help me to NOT start smoking again. A habit is a habit. And also, when I am smoking the e-cigarette I am not around anyone, it is for my own benefit. I am having a breast lift surgery on Jan. 26th and I cannot have any nicotine or be around anyone that is smoking. That is why I was asking if it is ok to smoke an e-cigarette that has NO nicotine in it, before breast surgery. Anyone know that answer or has your dr. told you anything about it?

women empowerment # early marriages
Talking about women empowerment during this training session has given me a full sense of Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator statement "Development cannot be achieved if fifty percent of the population is excluded from the opportunities it brings"
As we are working on our projects to help build a better world for women, the reality on the ground shows that we need more than projects, actions and determination to save women and empower them to insure their participation in today's development.
"You see my dad is trying to make feel me fiance is not a good man. He does not even know him but he can tell he will not make me happy. All because I refused to marry that man he was giving me to" said the young lady sitting beside me
"He may be angry with you for refusing his proposal, so be careful" replied her friend of almost the same age 18- 20 years may be.
"I know he is angry especially because my sister has run away again."
Again! What do you mean? They've found her and she run away again?
"Hummm Cristy, the girl is just 16, but this is her second wedding. He married her last year but the day they took her to the husband house, she escaped and hid at my uncle place. After one week, he came to my father and told him he has found Ramy and beseeched my father to allow her to continue her education at least till she graduates from secondary school and brought her back home. My uncle likes education, when I reached the age to start school, he fought my father and took me by force to his house and sent me to school. But just last week-end, my dad arranged another marriage for her without her notice. But Ramy is smart and intelligent, she run away before they could send her to the husband. Just that this time my uncle has not seen her and my father is blaming me for that… He says I have taught my sisters rebellion against his will. That we don't know what is good… I am so disturbed because he is planning to marry her to one of our cousin living in our house. And I can't reach her."
"Why is he doing that? What is it getting from his daughters entering marriages without your consent knowing it will not work? "
"I don't know sister; I bless God for my aunties being educated. If I was still living at home with him I would have been married by now. I am so grateful to my aunties to have brought me here to make sure I finish my education. You can't imagine how lucky I am, to be the only girl in my father's family to attend university. You can't imagine…"
When getting down from the taxi, I asked myself: on which planet or era are we? This is my Africa, always doing wonders! I felt for that girl. Though I did not know her I could not stop myself repeating her last sentence pounding in my head - you can't imagine how lucky I am -, as if she was talking to me. I can imagine how lucky she is because in my mother's family I am also the only one to attend and complete university. I try to figure how my life would have been if I have not had a chance to attend school or if I had entered marriage without my consent and all I can see is I am indeed lucky not being in that situation.
In Africa, many girls are compelled to leave school and enter marriage. This situation accentuates two major problems we are fighting to solve: illiteracy or under education and early marriage.
While millennium goal aim to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015; some practices, well organised and defended, slow the effort and make the progress difficult.
In Cote d'Ivoire the balance sheet on girls education is still problematic both on access and completing level. According to a survey in 2006, almost 49 % of girls living in cote d'Ivoire do not attend school with strong effect in North-east (63,4%), North-west (74.7%) and mostly in the North (78.3%).
Keeping girls in school till the end of primary education is worrying. Only 17% among 11 years old children are likely to complete primary education compared to 15% for girls.
Already educating a girl is not a priority in many families and tribes were girls are to be raised to fulfill their husband's needs. Add to that the dropping of girls from schools to enter marriage is a violation of children rights to education. Not only that but also the children are deprived of their adolescence, the victims being mostly girls.

Girls as usual are the most vulnerable and subject to victimisation. From each country to another, the authors of those "crimes" have solutions that are understandable but not enough to justify the deeds.
The first reason people think of is poverty but the old women I discuss with gave me in insight of what has been passed on from generation to generation.
Girls, in olden ages, were raised with the objective of making the husband happy. A valued woman was to be loving, caring and hardworking to find a good party. The men needed the ability to run the household and maintain the family's status.
Thus, when modern education came with colonization, it is obvious that only men were favoured.
"I had to beg you grand-father to allow your father to attend school and it cost me a lot for him to let me send your aunty too. With only one hectare of Cocoa I paid for their fees and books because to him I was spoiling my daughter instead of building her a future with a good husband." Explains my grand-mother.
Is it culture transformed in modern society or poverty perverting pure aim of maintaining social status? Whichever way, the experience and circumstances prevail in early marriages indicates it is a practice that need to be stopped.
Marrying a child is sometimes perceived as a strategy for economic survival. It helps remove the financial burden of caring and feeding the girl of the parents in the sense that it will also help the family get financial support from the rich husband but also education support for the younger children or boys of the family. In some cases, it appears to be at the girl advantage. African societies are, for good motives, stick to the family honour to preserve their children morality. Thus marrying the girls-as early as she enters puberty- is a way of preventing premarital sex, avoid out-of-marriage pregnancies bringing honour and respect to the father name.
The fact remains that these "good" measure to keep the girls safe are not without consequences.
Early marriage deprives a girl of her adolescence. By the age of five, a girl in rural Pakistan has learnt to 'go outside' as little as possible, and adopt 'an attitude of care and service towards men'. Obviously, the younger the bride the more chance you have of conditioning her into the appropriate subservient behaviour.
In most cases were the girls do not consent, they end-up being beaten, maltreated and turned into slaves. There are likely to suffer poor hygienic, health and sexual condition. They will end-up with pregnancies complication and psychological disturbance for a condition their body and moral is not prepared and ready to endure.
In Cote d'Ivoire, early after independence, the government put some measure in place to regulate marriage practices.
The age for man to enter marriage is 20 and 18 for a woman. But this regulation is not respected because those child or early marriages are conducted traditionally and the government has no means to control or prevent the phenomenon. Even providing free education for girls and the campaign failed because the girls are too frightened to say no. and the rejection faced the bold ones who run away discourages any other to try. In all our countries, ministries are created to help women and children but somewhere the program are not working as it is suppose to be.
Young girls themselves often see it to be a privileged to leave their fathers house.
"I will never inherit because I am a woman. At least with my husband I can say I have a home and my male children will give me a home." Aisha was complaining
For Rafi, it is an opportunity to stop gossip in the neighbourhood: "Wherever I am going I have a car and driver at my disposal, I wear nice clothes, visit places my friends around my father house cannot dream of. And they respect me and my mother because I can buy them what they don't have"
"Even if I do not lack food, I miss my freedom and friends, for ten years I do not know what I want or I think means. All I do is obey and close my eyes on things I dislike. But I cannot go back, I have children and my father will beat my mother to death… I still have in mind how he insulted and beat her when she tried to plead for me. I am 24 years now I have learnt that life is not all about dreams and personal wish. People around you count and you have to think twice before you do anything that can harm them"explained Dali.
The silent consent of these women of their new condition accepted despite themselves is a loud appeal to help save those that have not yet fallen into the trap.
As the United Nations sees Gender equality and women's empowerment to be human rights that lie at the heart of development and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals we women have to act and act fast.
The best way to educate a nation is to empower women. In Africa, children education is women affair. If they are empowered, they will surely pass it on to their children, both boy and girls.
Different researches have shown the important role that education must play in efforts to eliminate child marriage. Research by UNICEF shows that the more education a girl receives, the less likely she is to be married as a child. Improving access to education and eliminating gender gaps in education are therefore important strategies for ending the practice of child marriage.
Despite the numerous campaign and progress that has been made, six out of ten of world's poorest people are still women and girls, less than 16 percent of the world's parliamentarians are women, two thirds of all children shut outside the school gates are girls. In conflict torned country like Cote d'Ivoire, the number of girls drooping from school will surely increase with this ascent of violence.
While African value their customs and seek for improvement of their life condition, it is essential to take into consideration their view of the subject in order to implement good measure that will involve each and every actor of the problem as well as the victims themselves.
It is important to men to understand and believe that women are not trying to challenge them or take their place in the society but just find their own place and contribute to development.
We need to ensure free education with easy to understand and implement policy for both girls and boys. But also provide flexible schedules to allow girls to meet domestic responsibilities were needed. The project should also include men and women of public recognition and good influence to help.
Create girl oriented seminar and program to show the importance of educating a girl and the benefit for development not just for a period but for long enough to turn it into habits.
We need also to adapt the millennium goals objective to the reality in Africa taking into account the education, comprehension level and financial abilities.
We should be able to protect those who refuse to drop from school and enter early marriages. This will concentrate on two major action. Helping those that are affected and encouraging and protecting the mothers who suffer for their personal or their children bold action of refusal.
At the same time, the fathers or parents feeling betrayed and humiliated by the refusal of a daughter to enter arranged marriage will need psychological and moral help to understand and forgive their families.
At the same time, girls suffering from physical damage resulting of rape, giving birth complication and trauma will need emergency support and care.
Our government will also have to reinforce the laws protecting married and unmarried women and girls
Hi Harmony!
Oh dear! Harmony, it's really sad that girls and women have to prioritize household responsibilities over anything else, much less education! In the past, our Muslim Filipinos and Chinese migrants practice "betrothal" system, where girls as young as pre-school age are arranged for marriage. But this practice has banished through the years. I believe this will eventually happen in your country, too, as more and more women like you commit themselves for change. I agree with you that education is really the key to women empowerment. We have public schools that grant us free education as well as state colleges/universities that offer scholarships for poor but deserving students and cheap tuition fees. Actually, in our public schools, there is less probability for girls to drop out than the boys now. Maybe your government has similar institutions for education and capability-building that girls and women can avail of? You have tackled the issue so well, sister! All the best...
Emie Zozobrado
Dear Harmony,
Dear Harmony,
You write so well.It is a topic that touches my heart.I can`t be indifferent when women are treated with so much disrepect.Women indeed need education,for educating a woman is educating a nation as you have mentioned.Congratulations for all what you have and will continue to achieve.
just find our own place
Dear sister Harmony,
First of all, Congratulations to you from the bottom of my heart! I was inspired by your piece. The line "It is important to men to understand and believe that women are not trying to challenge them or take their place in the society but and contribute to development" is fantastic.
I would like to suggest you one thing that is the final ending. I think you can come up with concrete summary in stronger voice in the final statements. Now, it seems your ending is pretty chaotic. I believe YOU CAN.
With Love,
Insha Allah
Shwe Wutt Hmon
I think you have produced a very successful feature story here!
You have all of the necessary elements and you have presented them so well -- a powerful narrative lead, statistics and background information, quotes, facts, solutions, everything!!
In your ending, I would suggest adding a few quotes from government workers, experts or women in your community who can give a real voice to these potential solutions. What do people want to see? Few things are more powerful in journalism that capturing the hopes of ordinary people who don't often get a platform to discuss such things.
In all, very, very well done!
Congratulations Harmony, You
Congratulations Harmony,
You have written a solution oriented piece. Though your country and mine are more closely related, your story is very percuilar to the Northern part of Nigeria where education is not valued at all.
I would only say that you should read through again to made some correction before submitting. We are all trying to meet the deadline. It such a wonderful experience
''Every woman have a story at every stage of Life''
Great work dear
Dear Harmony!
This is beautiful my dear friend!Yes we need to ensure free education, to adapt the millineum goals as well create girl oriented workshops. In other words since we share so much in this platform we are therefore burdened to work tirelessly to achieve whatever we are mandated to achieve.
Yes the best way to achieve is to educate women!
Great work sister, way forward gal
All the best to you my dear.
"success will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time " And when confronted conquer with love

Excellent food for thought. I wonder if the Justice Department will be moved to get off the dime by any of this.
The reams of Wikileaks evidence seem to have our government clamping down on Wikileaks and any possible whistle-blowers.
The misbehavior of the financial industry seems to have the IRS shaking down the poor and middle class while the taxpayers bail out the banks.
The treason, war crimes, and other felonies of the last administration don't seem to be of any interest to law enforcement.
If we are ever to have a democratic republic like unto what our founders were trying to build, it will be as a result of this (Legacy of Secrecy and Wikileaks) kind of investigative reporting, coupled with a Justice Department (someday) that is willing to do its job.

Part 2: Motors and Air-Moving Devices
Small Adjustments, Large Improvements
When asked to improve the cleaning performance of a vacuum, Johnson Electric started by analyzing the fundamental physics behind a successfully working product.
A vacuum cleaner works by creating airflow
through the machine. The air enters through a nozzle held close to the
and passes through filters to extract the dust and dirt that is drawn
in by the airflow. Clean air is then exhausted back into the room.
Generally, the greater the airflow, the greater the vacuum created at
the nozzle (depending on nozzle size) and, consequently, the greater
the prospect
of removing more dirt and dust. The company says it would have been easy
to use a more powerful motor with a bigger fan, but this would have led
to increases in product size, weight, power consumption, noise, and cost—product
aspects consumers do not want in their vacuum cleaners.
Key Aspect
According to Johnson
Electric, air, like any other fluid material, can
be made to flow from one point to another by creating a pressure differential
between those points and by being channeled to follow a particular route.
The motor drives the fan at a specific power output and converts the mechanical
energy from the moving rotor to the mechanical energy of the moving air.
Unfortunately, as air is pulled into the fan and expelled from
its perimeter, losses occur. Every time the air passes through a channel
or is made to
change direction, there is resistance to the air movement and power losses
occur. In search of a solution, Johnson Electric undertook a study focused
on reducing the losses, thereby increasing the air output power without
increasing the input power to the motor.
Simulation Experimentation
The company utilized a computer simulation software program to review the
product's air performance by developing a program for inputting all
of the known parameters of dimensions, material, and airflow chamber shapes.
The company says the greatest attention was paid to the motor/fan itself,
comprising the impeller (fan) and the diffuser plate, which captures
the air thrown out by the impeller and re-directs that airflow to where
is needed. According to Johnson Electric, this particular system is known
as a "flow-through" system because the air is directed through
the motor to cool down the heat in the motor generated by internal motor
losses. The simulation demonstrated that there was excessive turbulence
around the perimeter of the impeller from which the air was forced outwards
by the centrifugal forces of rotation. The company found that this turbulence
was diminishing the useful flow of air.
To reduce the turbulence, guidance blades were added to the upper side
of the diffuser plate. The blades were designed to re-direct airflow downward
from the tangential direction given to it by the impeller, permitting the
air to pass below the diffuser plate. By having a multiplicity of blades,
the exiting air is now re-directed almost immediately, avoiding collision
and turbulence with other channels of air exiting from neighboring impeller
sections. According to the company, airflow now becomes more fluid and
losses are diminished (see Figure 1).
The performance of the impeller itself was also reviewed. Since the air
enters into the eye of the impeller and passes through the impeller to
be centrifuged out from the periphery, the impeller is part of the total
airflow path while also providing the pressure differential to create the
airflow. This type of centrifugal impeller has been in use for many decades,
and it was agreed that the number of blades selected and the shape of the
cover that shrouds the impeller needed to be optimized. The company said
it also felt there was room to optimize the angles of the blades and the
orifice sizes.
Figure 2 shows how the modifications to the blade angles and dimensions
were made. Using the software, the company predicted a change in the air
pressure at the inlet of the impeller. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, there
was a substantial increase in negative pressure, or vacuum, and a valuable
increase in airflow volume.
Confirming the Results
Johnson Electric made tooling changes to produce a new impeller and diffuser
plate according to the suggested design, and a series of tests were performed
to validate both the new impeller and diffuser plate. Tables 1 and 2 illustrate
the improvement in performance for both the new diffuser and the new impeller.
An inlet orifice diameter of 0.75 in is used in both cases. Both tests
confirmed the airflow rate improved due to the design modifications to
the diffuser and impeller.
1. Diffuser Performance
2. Impeller Performance
Vacuum cleaner motors have to be designed with their application in mind
and with thought given to how the vacuum cleaner manufacturer will mount
and employ the motor within its cleaner. This requirement does not allow
the motor designer to make drastic modifications to the motor but, nevertheless,
it is possible and advantageous to make a series of incremental improvements
in vacuum cleaner airflow efficiency by fine-tuning the impeller and diffuser
designs within the motor.

Observers throughout the borderland are celebrating Dia de Los Muertos Saturday.
The holiday honors the dead with a blend of Aztec and Christian elements. According to the Muertos tradition on November 1st- 2nd the heavens open and the souls of the dead return to earth.
Every year for the past 14 years the bishops of El Paso, Las Cruces, and Ciudad Juarez come together on November 2nd to honor "All Souls Day" or "Dia de los Muertos."
They met at the border fence in Anapra to pay tribute to departed loved-ones.

Designer Secrets for Small Spaces
From forgoing the coffee table to putting a sink outside the bathroom, here are 10 clever decorating ideas and tips for how to decorate a small space.
Make Use of Every Square Inch
Designers Bill Brockschmidt and Richard Dragisic's New York loft apartment is just 640 square feet. "We had to be inventive," Brockschmidt says, so they created a stair landing that can be turned into a bar and buffet for entertaining. In the dining room-library, a staircase leading to the bedroom loft incorporates bookshelves, and the landing doubles as a sideboard and bar. "All the glasses get stacked on the lower steps," Brockschmidt says. "Of course, that means we quite literally can't go to bed till we clean up."

TrakBelt360 puts a new spin on tool belts
If you're perched on a ladder or are dangling in a harness, then twisting around to grab something from the back of your tool belt can be rather challenging. That's why New York firefighter/photographer Chris Landano created the TrakBelt360. It's a tool belt that lets you rotate pouches or tool holsters all the way around it, so that the item you need ends up right at the front. Read More
Five of the best: High-tech hammers
People have been banging nails into things for nearly five and a half thousand years, if archaeologists are correct. And wood is such a versatile and abundant building material that we're sure to be banging spiky bits of metal into it for thousands of years to come. But how similar is the hammer going to look at that stage? What is the state of the art in hammer technology? Are they still just flat-ended bits of metal on the end of sticks? Let's take a look at five high-tech hammers that aim to push one of mankind's (other) oldest professions forward. Read More
It's generally just accepted that text embedded in images on the Web is inaccessible. Because images are rendered as a single layer, that's just the way it is ... or was, because a new extension for Google Chrome called Project Naptha now allows users to highlight and copy text from within images.

Gerber's Impromptu Tactical Pen is designed for danger
While the chances of being caught up in a dangerous situation are thankfully low, having something about your person for such an eventuality isn't a bad idea. The Impromptu Tactical Pen from Gerber, with its glass-breaking steel tip, is one option for those who want to keep themselves safe. It is, as its name suggests, a simple writing implement with a hidden extra that could mean the difference between life and death. Read More
IN1: The Swiss Army knife of iPhone cases

Tuls: multi-purpose tools you can carry in your wallet
The creators of Tuls know they're not creating the perfect tools for individual jobs. Instead, their philosophy is that the "best tool for the job is the one within reach," so while having a single-purpose tool for every job is the dream, the reality is something altogether more practical.

Ringtool from Reductivist might just be the smallest multitool we've ever seen. The creator came up with the idea because he wanted a tool small enough to carry with him on his bicycle commute, but reasoned that it could be used by almost anyone. Read More
North Carolina-based ShopBot Tools has launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring its Handibot prototype to market. Handibot is a CNC machine which, being computer-controlled, can be used to cut materials to size and shape with very high accuracy. Unlike most CNC machines, Handibot is portable, the idea being that you take it to your materials rather than your materials to it. And in that spirit, Handibot can be controlled by a smartphone or tablet rather than full-blown computer (if there's a distinction these days), and users will pay to download individual designs and functions in the form of apps.

One of the most frustrating parts of DIY projects is when a screw is at just the wrong angle for the screwdriver to reach. It's even worse when an electric screwdriver with all its bulk is involved. To make things a bit easier, former University of Washington robotics student Joel Townsan of Bellingham, Washington came up with the Flipout Tantrum, an articulated electric screwdriver designed to work in very tight spaces.

Nuutinen Qualifies for NCAA Regional
April 28, 2014
INDIANAPOLIS -- TCU senior Sanna Nuutinen has been selected to play in the NCAA Women's Golf Central Regional on May 8-10 in Stillwater, Okla.
Nuutinen will be making her fourth consecutive appearance in the NCAA Regionals. The TCU women's golf program has been represented in the postseason by either the team or an individual in 19 consecutive seasons.
The top-two individuals from each of the three NCAA Regionals will advance to the NCAA Championships on May 20-23 in Tulsa, Okla.
Nuutinen, ranked 82nd nationally by Golfweek, was the only senior for the Horned Frogs this season. She's enjoyed a career-best year with a 73.7 stroke average.
A native of Helsinki, Finland, Nuutinen has seven top-20 finishes this season, including a pair of top-10 results. She was the lone member of the Horned Frogs to play in all 10 tournaments.
As a sophomore, Nuutinen won the 2012 Mountain West championship on a fourth playoff hole.

Today's Santa Fe New Mexican reports that Highlands University Athletic Director Ed Manzanares will be leaving Highlands on September 13 to become the new assistant athletic director for major gifts at the University of New Mexico.
The NMHU MUSIC DEPARTMENT presents Van Ann Moore in "A Jenny Lind Christmas. Ms. Moore will recreate the exciting life of Jenny Lind, the greatest opera star of the Victorian Era.
Only coach Harge could answer that, and there's never any comment from the athletic department, un-friendly sports information director. They don't want to let anyone know about HU's questionable recruiting methods AND THE REASON THESE ALL-STARS LEAVE!
Of course, the top RMAC All-Star, THOMAS MONZANO, (22.0 point average per game)was a huge loss to the '12 program.

HU Concert Choir Performance
April 17 - Ilfeld Auditorium 3 p.m.
"Brahms White & Blue": Brahms Piano Quartet, The American Songbook, Jazz Standards.
I rd somewhere that the candidates from the city elections had to take their signs down after the voting -- and that those in the runoffs could not put them back up again until a certain time before that election. Most of the signs are gone, but a few linger for some of the candidates, and one mayorial candidate in particular has kept up a very visible presence through the interim. If all this is true, it could produce an unfair, per sign, advantage for those who left signs up.
Hi, I got to visit LV back in 2010, and then was able to come back again this month. Very nice town!
As we drove up 84 south of town in 2010, I noted a building or structure being constructed, and I saw a couple weeks ago that it is apparently still being built. It's about 30 miles south of town.
I got a couple good photos of it from the road. What is this? I thought at first it was a church or something like that, but on a closer view I don't think so. The photos are at the following links.
Ilfeld Auditorium. 3 p.m. Sunday May 1
Seven of Robert Frost's poems set for choir and piano by Randall Thompson.
Seven of Federico Garcia Lorca's poems set for choir and guitar by Mario Castelnuove-Tedesco.
An original piece composed for the choir by HU professor Tatiana Dutoit.
Jazz standards by Joe Garland and Fats Waller.
A "bird song" by Claudio Monteverdi.
In what has to be the most glaring, embarrassing football statistic was HU football going 0-15 in third down conversions last Saturday at Perkins Stadium against Division II, 7th-ranked Univ. Colorado/Pueblo Thunderwolves.
A quite simple statistic, how can the 'Pokes WIN if they can't convert? Simply because the Thunderwolves has the nation's leading Division II defense, allowing 11.2 points per game.
The state has installed a couple of permanent electronic signs along the Interstate near the Las Vegas exits. Today, there was only one portable electronic sign left. Maybe we'll get more permanent signs. Who knows? The message heading south was one of caution.

CORPUS CHRISTI -- Parents, lookout! There a virus making the rounds in the Coastal Bend and its highly contagious.
The coxsackievirus is also known as the hand, foot, and mouth disease.
It's painful and it will put you out for a good week.
A daycare in Calallen just saw some cases of the coxsackievirus, they cleared it out quickly by alerting parents, keeping infected kids home and sanitizing everything.
Trust us, this is something you don't want to catch.
Mia Jenkins says it kept her home from school for an entire week. After she caught it, so did her brother, then her dad.
Almost everyone in Mia's family of four now knows what it's like to have the coxsackievirus, or hand, foot, and mouth disease.
The virus is mostly spread to children, and adults don't often show any symptoms.
But Mia's dad is not so lucky. He's still struggling with it now.
"He says that it hurts mostly on his hands and he really doesn't like it, it really bothers him," she said.
Even worse, there's no medication to make it go away, you can only treat the symptoms.
"I really just drank Tylenol but the doctor didn't give me any medicine for it," Mia said.
It kept her out of school for an entire week, but, the Jenkins family is not alone in battling the virus.
"Its been 7 days since our last confirmed case," Sabria Pounders, Director of Little Roo's said.
She actually put a sign up warning parents about the potential spread of the hand, foot, and mouth disease after they had two potential cases.
"We even had a few kiddos picked up and they were taken to the doctor and the diagnosis was not confirmed, it was not hand foot and mouth, they were clear and able to come back the same day," Pounders said.
The best thing you can do is sanitize everything. Pounders tells us she actually takes soft toys out of the classroom during what she calls hand, foot, and mouth disease season.
But, even with an abundance of caution, this virus can spread.
"Its spread through grocery carts, its spread through play equipment, it could even be carried by adults they can pass it on to their children," said Pounders.
If you do catch the virus, it will be contagious until the last blister dries up and your fever is gone.
The first symptoms are sometimes just a sore throat, so, it could be mistaken for strep throat until the blisters start showing up.
For more on signs and symptoms, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Website.

Dakota English Language Institute offers intensive English program
The DSU Dakota English Language Institute (DELI) is offering an intensive English as a Second Language 9 week program this summer from May 29th through July 27th. The program is intended for international students wishing to enroll in a degree program or work on their academic English skills.
The DELI has been teaching English to international students for 20 years and is known for its small class sizes and individual attention offered to students.

There are beginner to advanced level courses available with each level offering more than 4 individual courses: reading, writing, listening and speaking, TOEFL preparation and Grammar and America Cultural. The program also allows international students to become accustomed to a college campus while learning English to ensure a smooth transition into a degree program.

Whenever possible Taekwondo will be offered at Charter Schools that are facilitated by AAA Academy For Children. Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art, which means "the art of hand and foot fighting." It combines sharp, strong, angular movements with graceful and free-flowing circular motions to produce a harmonious marriage of beauty and power.
Children will learn discipline, respect for their parents, teachers, and others. In addition, they will experience a better sense of self-control and the "YES, I CAN"! attitude.

So today, at 3 PM my friends and I usually meet up for some tea, just have fun because we don't get to see each other as much as when we lived in the dorms.
No one showed up last week, okay, I kind of figured it wasn't planned (just got back from break). Again this week, no one shows up. I waited 25 minutes. I knew it was on this week. They're big fucking "rock stars" (in their eyes), so I guess there's not a whole lot of time for me between the messuse and dinner at Boston's fancy restaurants. Whatever.
It hurt. This week has pretty much been building into one shitty mood. I swear, usually I'm pretty upbeat, full of witty sarcasm. It's the damn rain. My hamster died today. I know that's not really significant, and it doesn't tear me up, but it just adds to everything. He was pretty cool, and only recently started to get friendly and come out, climb in your hand, climb in his little ball and run around.
After no one showed up, I came home and watched my favorite movies, and now I feel a whole lot better. My roommate and I went down to the mall, just browsed, it was nice to get out. I need that.
I haven't dated anyone in a year and a half or so. I got fucked over big time (it's a long story I'll likely share one day, in a nutshell, the first [and only] time I got cheated on). I'm not entirely experienced in relationships, I've only had a few. Partly because it's very hard for me to trust people. Well not partly, mostly.
I think at this point I'm looking for a specific type of girl. Definitely intelligent, with a good sense of humor who can take most of my sarcasm and bitter remarks (it's all in fun, I'm not seriously bitter). And I'm not high brow humor all the time. A good toilet joke is a good toilet joke! I like shy girls. Someone who doesn't have to be the center of attention. A sense of originality, following your own ideas and ambitions. I really like girls who have goals and are working for them. Positive outlooks on life a must. I know it's hard to be 100% comfortable with your looks, but if you're in the ballpark that's great. We should all just be proud of who we are. Just someone who can be a friend to a day dreamer.
Well, I'm feeling better. If you read this, don't hesitate to answer my "personal ad" I just dragged on about. Sorry you had to read that. I guess that's it for now. Time for Seinfeld. Peace.

Demi Lovato revealed at an event Tuesday that her grandfather was gay.
"I've never spoken about this before, but my grandfather was a trailblazer himself," Lovato said while filming a segment for Trailblazers, an upcoming Logo special that honors LGBT civil rights pioneers. "He was brave enough to come out in the 1960s, and I feel a lot of my spirit has come from him."
Out and proud celebrities
Lovato, 21, opened up about her grandfather while introducing one of the night's honorees, Orange Is the New Black. "He passed away a few years later, and I only wish he could have seen all the progress that has been made," Lovato said. "It's such an honor to be welcomed and embraced by the LGBT community."
Trailblazers, which airs Thursday at 9/8c on Logo, will also feature appearances by President Bill Clinton, Daniel Radcliffe, Adam Levine, Jared Leto, Ed Sheeran, Iggy Azalea and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.

MYTHOLOGY, n. The body of a primitive people's beliefs concerning its origin, early history, heroes, deities and so forth, as distinguished from the true accounts which it invents later.Ambrose Bierce
Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.D. H. Lawrence
Myths are a waste of time. They prevent progression.Barbra Streisand
A myth is the name of a terrible lie told by a smelly little brown person to a man in a white suit with a pair of binoculars.David Antin
Myth is neither a lie nor a confession: it is an inflexion.Roland Barthes
