Located between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific coast, Valparaiso is a big, bohemian city on a beach. Let the vibrant, yet laid back, attitude envelop you as you walk along pedestrian passageways. During your travels, you might find a donkey instead of a car in a parking spot. Houses painted red, royal blue, lavender, aqua, and bright yellow and stacked back-to-back up steep hillsides give the city a kaleidoscopic effect.
Viña del Mar is Valparaiso's sister city, a modern resort center, with shops, beaches, recreational facilities, and a residential area. With affordable mass transportation between the two cities, students find them both friendly locations in which to live and study.
Marcia Vera Vassallo holds a M.A. in gender and cultural studies in Latin America at the Universidad de Chile and received her licenture (five year study) from PUCV in English language and literature, complementing the degrees. Marcia also received a diploma or certificate (one year intensive) from Adolfo Ibañez business school. Since December 2013, Marcia has been a qualified intercultural development inventory administrator. Before joining CIEE Valparaiso at its inception in 2001, she worked as program director of International Abroad (ITA)-Chile at PUCV International Programs. In addition, Marcia was an international counselor at a YMCA branch in Pennsylvania. She also taught international students Spanish conversation and Chilean culture at PUCV as well as teaching English as a second language for five years at North American Institute.
Valparaíso and its sister city Viña del Mar host Chile's third largest population of approximately 1,500,000 inhabitants. Viña del Mar proudly holds a shoreline of sandy beaches while one of Chile's largest ports lines Valparaíso's coast. The area is an academic hub with students comprising over 13% of the population, including international students and travelers.
Valparaíso's charm lies in its sprawling hills. Among a labyrinth of staircases and winding roads, cable cars and colorful houses layer one over another up the mountainsides. The city is easy to navigate from any given point—if you head downwards it always leads directly to the heart of the bustling city that winds around the coast.
In "Valpo" (as Valparaíso is commonly referred to), a vibrant atmosphere of arts, culture, and music takes over public space, observed from temporary expositions to the city streets lined with murals, mosaics, and graffiti. These picturesque sites, together with its rich history of tradition and architecture, led Valparaíso to be designated as a World Heritage Site in 2003.
Viña, as it is known, has a slightly different ambience yet is a popular tourist attraction for its upscale hotels, restaurants, and a variety of entertainment. In either city a student may explore many cultural and artistic venues as well as immerse themselves easily into the rich Chilean culture.

Francisca Vera has been with CIEE since 2007 and her main focus has been coordinating host families for the students. Her duties also include assisting in the academic process of course registration forms, supporting educational activities and excursions, and various administrative tasks at the front desk in the CIEE office.

Francisca is a flamenco dance instructor in her spare time.
The Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV) is ranked among the top regional universities in Chile. In 2003, it received its designation as a "Pontificia," a distinction given to Catholic universities by the Vatican. The University has campuses in both Valparaíso and Viña del Mar and offers more than 50 undergraduate and 30 postgraduate degrees. Of the 15,000 students at PUCV, only 3 percent are international students, giving CIEE participants a great opportunity to immerse themselves in the Chilean higher education system.
Study abroad students live with Chilean host families and are matched based on students' individual profiles and common interests. Most host families are located in Viña del Mar and a few in Valparaíso. The sister cities are essentially two halves of a single urban area, and PUCV has campuses in both cities. Host families are considered an integral part of the immersion into Chilean life. Housing and three meals a day are included in the program fee. Students are responsible for housing and meals between semesters.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Valparaíso and Viña del Mar even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. The resident director meets with students online and shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple: to help you understand more about the program and identify your goals.
When you get to Valparaiso, you'll participate in on onsite orientation that includes recreational activities, workshops, and local educational field trips. Through the workshops, you are introduced to the country, culture, and academic program. The PUCV also offers its own special orientation for foreign students studying at the University. Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the duration of your stay in Chile.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless enabled laptop. You'll have access to email and the Internet at the CIEE office in Viña del Mar, the university, and at the abundant and inexpensive Internet cafés in Viña del Mar and Valparaíso. Please note that the quality and availability of Internet access does not always compare with that you may be used to at home.
Included in the study abroad program is a weekend-long CIEE field trip to Pucón, where you'll experience and learn about indigenous communities and engage in outdoor, cultural, and educational activities. You will also have a variety of short excursions organized by CIEE including a day trip to Rabuco, a farming community in Hijuelas; a guided tour in Valparaiso, where you'll learn about the history and cultural aspects of this fascinating port city; and other cultural and educational opportunities that change each semester depending on local events.
Each PUCV English content course includes several short course-related field trips around Valparaíso and Santiago, including Pablo Neruda's homes, the National Congress, the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, Palacio de la Moneda or Centro Cultural Palacio de la Moneda, and other museums that can be found only in Santiago.
Non-credit volunteer work allows you to obtain a better understanding of Chilean culture and society through your own personal experiences, as well as experiences outside of the classroom. Community engagement is an important and highly encouraged component of this program. CIEE has a well- established network of community partnerships with NGOs, schools, and other educational institutions.
Host families also play an important role in your total immersion. You'll interact with various family members, relatives, neighbors and friends, and explore and discover the surroundings through exposure to everyday Chilean routines and unique new flavors of traditional cuisine.
Other aspects of immersion in the Chilean culture include sporting and other cultural activities, using public transportation, and enjoying various types of local entertainment.
As you gain proficiency in Spanish, resident staff encourages you to use your language skills in everyday settings. The more you participate, the more a community that contributes to Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Chilean society develops.
The CIEE Study Center in Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, Chile, began welcoming participants in 1997. It is an attractive option for several reasons, including the academic offerings available at PUCV, as well as the student-friendly nature of both Valparaíso and Viña del Mar.
The study abroad program is intended for students with beginner and intermediate college-level Spanish skills, who are looking for a program that permits them to rapidly develop Spanish language skills, and immerse themselves in Chilean and Latin American studies on a university campus. The program provides personalized instruction and support through both academic and non-academic activities. The program is suitable for undergraduate students from a variety of majors with limited or no Spanish language skills.
All non-language courses are taught in English. A Spanish diagnostic placement test is provided at the beginning of the program. Those LIC students whose results reflect a low intermediate level of Spanish skills may enroll in regular content courses taught in Spanish offered for international students with the approval of the resident director and their home school. The list of these courses and syllabus are available upon request.
Average class size is 10 to 15 students. All courses are taught by local Chilean faculty. Study abroad students will notice significant differences between their home institutions and educational system and the Chilean model. Chilean academic culture generally requires students to take greater initiative and responsibility in a less structured environment.
Courses tend to be more lecture-based and less interactive. Students are expected to take it upon themselves to know the requirements of the course, their assignments, and exams. Students in the program have support in this regard from both the CIEE Study Center staff as well as staff from the International Programs office at PUCV. It is important to understand that the program takes place at a Chilean University with native Spanish instructors, and therefore students may notice differences in teaching styles.
The academic year program includes two semesters of study and can begin either during the North American fall or spring semester. Academic year students who begin their studies during the North American fall semester have a nearly three-month break between semesters, during which they are encouraged to travel or study elsewhere in the region. There is a break of approximately two weeks between the (North American) spring and fall semesters.
Students enroll directly in special host university courses and take classes with other CIEE and international students. Required intensive Spanish language courses are taught to CIEE and other international students by PUCV.
In language classes, students are normally graded on quizzes, exams, attendance, homework assignments, presentations, and class participation. Grades in content courses are generally based on class participation, a mid-term exam, research papers, oral presentations, and a final exam. Each instructor determines the exact breakdown of grades. Attendance is mandatory and absences can affect final grades. Some courses include compulsory field trips with special assignments as part of classwork. The Chilean grading scale is from one to seven, with four being a passing grade. CIEE translates all transcripts and converts grades and credits to the U.S. system according to a standard scale that includes A-F, with pluses and minuses.
Transcripts for the U.S. spring semester should arrive at the sending institutions by mid-September and in mid-March for the fall semester. Graduating seniors or others concerned about the timing of receiving grades should take this into consideration when choosing this program.
All courses are taught by faculty from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.

After downloading the client, I started the launcher and waited while it began to update. After reaching 7/8 and whatever that signifies, the launcher closed and failed to restart. I clicked my LoL icon again and received this error message:
lol.launcher.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point MaestroServerController_RegisterHwnd
could not be located in the dynamic link library launcher.maestro.dll.
Clicking on on the error message then gave me a Windows message saying:
League of Legends skinned.launcher has stopped working
A problem caused the problem to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I've downloaded the client twice now, once from Steam and then from the LoL site.
The operating system is vista 64 and attached are the patcher_lib, the maestro-server, the ACE_LogAnalyser and the launcher.maestro.dll files.
I managed to fix this by copying the file launcher.maestro.dll from another computer's working installation of LoL. Don't know how I'd have fixed it otherwise as redownloading/reinstalling from seperate sources didn't work.

OUTDOORS: Some prospects for firearm deer season
BY DALE BOWMAN firstname.lastname@example.com November 13, 2012 8:46PM
When the first firearm season for deer opens Friday, the stuff of dreams will be a buck like this 20-point non-typical, taken last fall by Mason Paul in Morgan County. It was artfully mounted on antlers and displayed in March at the Illinois Deer and Turk
Article Extras
Updated: December 15, 2012 6:22AM
As always, there are questions about the biggest weekend in Illinois outdoors, when more than 200,000 hunters go afield for the first firearm deer season Friday through Sunday.
Here's an email interview with forest wildlife program manager Paul Shelton about the prospects for 2012.
Sun-Times: Will the relatively good harvest so far by bowhunters have any effect on the firearm season?
PS: I'd have to describe the pace so far as average or typical; it's by no means a record pace. It compares very favorably with all harvests during the period 2007 through 2011, but all of those years (and this one) tended to lag slightly behind the pace of the 2005 and 2006 harvests, which were the No. 1 and No. 2 years (respectively) to date.
S-T: Will the very early start to the first firearm season mean the possibility of a bigger firearm kill? Will it at least mean there will be more overlap with the major part of the rut?
PS: Given the harvest patterns we've seen during the last decade, I'm not sure that will translate into larger harvest. It's more likely to result in harvest sex ratios during the first season that are a little more skewed toward bucks than we might like (from a population-management standpoint).
S-T: How many overall firearm deer hunters are there in Illinois?
PS: [These] numbers are for individuals that have some sort of ''gun'' permit, whether it be for youth, firearm, muzzleloader, late-winter or special CWD seasons. However, it would be close for the number of participants in the firearm season, as there is so much overlap. In 2011, there were 225,728 ''gun hunters,'' of which 211,685 were residents and 14,043 were non-residents.
S-T: What total firearm harvest are you anticipating?
PS: It has become increasingly difficult to predict for firearm season alone in more recent years because the late-winter season has essentially become an extension of the firearm season (becausemost late-winter harvest results from tags ''left over'' from the firearm season). However, I'd expect our overall deer harvest this year to be comparable to last year's (or slightly below) when all is said and done. I don't expect any dramatic changes.
Since many firearm deer hunters have become more selective during the firearm season and often opt to wait till the late-winter season to harvest antlerless deer, they need to check the status of their hunt county with respect to participation in the late-winter season, as a number of counties have been closed this year. A map of counties for the late-winter deer season is posted at dnr.illinois.gov/hunting/Documents/LateWinterDeerSeason
S-T: Any regulation changes of note?
PS: The most important change is with respect to counties open to late-winter season (see above). The take-home message is, ''Don't leave your antlerless harvest till late-winter season if your county isn't going to be open then.''

Infant Cognition: Recognizing and Reasoning
|Printable Version
By Altaf Saadi
Do 5-month-old infants see humans as material objects? According to a recent study, the answer is no. Conducted by Paul Bloom and Karen Wynn, professors of psychology at Yale, and corresponding author Valerie Kuhlmeier, assistant professor of psychology at Queens University, the study proposes that infants have different expectations of inanimate and human objects and do not apply the constraints of continuous motion to people. As Wynn explains, "There is a fundamental distinction between basic original systems of how we interface with the world: one for inert objects and another for social, psychological entities."
In this study, infants' reasoning was associated with the length of time they looked at a certain scene after habituation by either a continuous or discontinuous motion video. A longer looking time would suggest that the motion in the scene was contrary to their expectations. When the object in the scene was a box, the infants' expectations of its motion matched the habituation video they were shown. On the contrary, when the object in the scene was a human, the infants did not expect the same motion they were shown in the habituation video, suggesting that the infants knew otherwise.
An extension of this study will investigate how infants react to other constraints of object physics, such as that of solidity. The researchers are also working with Assistant Professor Laurie Santos of the Primate Cognition Lab to compare differential reasoning in nonhuman species. "We're looking at what exactly an entity has to look like for infants to interpret behavior [in terms of having goals and intentions]. For example, these entities can be simple geometric, computer-animated objects, but they seem to have to move in certain ways or, in some cases, have a face, for infants to see them as intentional," explained Kuhlmeier.
To test infants' sensitivity to the motion of continuous movement. (Credit: www.sciencedirect.com)

In the case titled Haggard v. Haggard, No. W2012-003600-COA-R3-CV, 2013 WL 2304186 (Tenn. Ct. App. May 28, 2013) Knoxville divorce attorneys learn what constitutes an equitable division of property in a divorce and when a Motion to Alter or Amend is appropriate post-judgment.
Facts: Husband and Wife were married for nine (9) years with no children. Wife filed for divorce in 2010; Husband responded with a counter-complaint. Wife entered a proposed division of marital property as an exhibit with the trial court requesting it award her a lump sum (or in monthly payments) for her marital share of the assets that she proposed be given to Husband.
The trial court took Wife's proposal under advisement. However, in its Final Decree it awarded marital assets valued at $119,847.49 (including three parcels of property) to Husband while only awarding assets valued at $16,598.01 to Wife with no mention of a monetary award for her marital share of the assets given to Husband.
Wife filed a Motion to Alter the Final Decree arguing that although she had not specifically asked for any of the property awarded to Husband she did not intend to forfeit her claim in said property. She also pointed out the proposed division of the marital property she entered with the court as an exhibit. As a remedy, Wife asked the court to award her unencumbered marital assets. Husband filed a response arguing that the division of property was equitable and no "mistake" was made in the final decree. He averred that under the Rules of Civil Procedure there were no grounds to alter or amend the final decree. The trial court stated that it misunderstood Wife's intention at trial regarding the marital assets and found the division to be inequitable. Therefore, it awarded wife a parcel of property valued at $47,000 with no debt. Husband appealed.
Analysis: On appeal the appellate court had to determine whether the trial court abused its discretion when awarding Wife additional real property, without additional proof presented, based on the trial court's misunderstanding of Wife's intention at trial in regards to marital assets.
Husband argued that the division of the marital property was equitable when factoring in the award of alimony ($450 for 24 months) and attorney's fees (approximately $5,000) awarded to Wife. Husband also pointed out that Wife had no debt. The appellate court did the math which showed Wife's total share of the marital assets as $36,297.51 once the alimony and attorney's fees were added. The court conceded that an "equitable" division of marital property does not have to balance mathematically; however, it stated that the division of assets in this case was "plainly inequitable."
Husband also argued that the trial court abused its discretion in allowing Wife's Motion to Alter or Amend. He averred that in the motion Wife spoke of her "intention" regarding the marital property which was new evidence after the final order was entered in the case. The appellate court pointed out that Husband never asked for an evidentiary hearing from the trial court on the matter.
The appellate court quoted Tennessee case law stating a Motion to Alter or Amend allows a trial court to amend a judgment to correct an error or prevent injustice to a party. Its purpose is to allow trial courts, when it has overlooked or failed to consider important matters, to fix its errors to prevent unnecessary appeals.
Conclusion: The appellate court found that the initial division of marital property was inequitable and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing Wife's motion to amend. The trial court's opinion was affirmed with costs of the appeal taxed to Husband.

Leek and Goats' Cheese Tart
This is what I call a wobbly tart – creamy and soft-centred. Leeks and goats' cheese have turned out to be a wonderful combination, and the addition of goats' cheese to the pastry gives it a nice edge.
Serves 6 as a starter or 4 as a main course
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|You will also need a 7½ inch (19 cm) diameter fluted quiche tin with a removable base, 1¼ inches (3 cm) deep, very lightly buttered, and a small, solid baking sheet.
This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book One and Delia's Vegetarian Collection.
First sift the flour with the pinch of salt into a large bowl, holding the sieve up high to give it a good airing. Then add the lard and butter and, using only your fingertips, lightly rub the fat into the flour, again lifting the mixture up high all the time. When everything is crumbly, coarsely grate the goats' cheese in and then sprinkle in some cold water – about 1 tablespoon. Start to mix the pastry with a knife and then finish off with your hands, adding a few more drops of water, till you have a smooth dough that will leave the bowl clean. Then pop the pastry into a polythene bag and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

How to Buy Hydrogen Peroxide
You have decided to try hydrogen peroxide therapy and now you want to know what the the best value will be. When you decide to purchase Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, as with any product that concerns your health, you should do plenty of research before making the final decision.
Buying Hydrogen Peroxide at Pure Living Peroxide
In most situations with household and internal use, we recommend purchasing the 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Gallon. Each package of hydrogen peroxide has a hazardous materials fee, so even if you don't plan on using very large quantities, you get the best value from purchasing atleast a gallon at a time. Dont worry, this is a blessing in disguise! You will learn more and more great uses for H2O2 each and every day. Click here to view our 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide gallon size
If you plan on using hydrogen peroxide outdoors in large quantities such as in your pool, spa, or garden, we recommend a case (4 gallons) of H2O2. When you purchase a single gallon its going to cost you $81.00, but when you buy 4 gallons at a time you can save over 40% and get them at about $47.00 each. Looking to get the great savings but not sure if you are going to use the high quantity? Purchase with a friend! You can share the great health benefits of hydrogen peroxide and save money with a friend or family member at the same time. Hydrogen peroxide also makes a great gift, each gallon purchased comes with an information sheet as well as a travel size 4oz bottle and droppers. Click here to view our wholesale 4 gallon case of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide.
Planning on traveling often? We also offer travel size 3% bottles so that you don't have to worry about dilution. 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide can be corrosive at that high of a concentration so it cannot be mixed with other packages, and you will likely be either charged extra or simply not allowed to travel with it. Click here to view our 3% travel size hydrogen peroxide.
Safe Ways to Buy Hydrogen Peroxide
Even if you decide not to purchase with us, its ok, we still care about your health! When purchasing Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, remember the following:
1.) Each package of H2O2 requires a $25.00 hazmat fee on top of any other shipping costs. This means if you are buying Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide online for extremely cheap prices, it is either being shipped illegally (so what does that say about their product?) or you are not being shipped 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide.
2.) If you plan on buying hydrogen peroxide locally, don't purchase from a drugstore or pharmacy. That type of peroxide is not food grade, and contains harmful additives and stabilizers that should not be in your body. If you decide to buy locally, make sure you buy from a reputable dealer of natural products so that you know exactly what you are getting.
When you buy hydrogen peroxide from a less reputable source you never know what your getting, and when it comes to your health it just isn't worth the risk!

Social Networking | News
Catholic schools--all 210,000 of them around the world--will have the chance to implement Office 365 for their students as part of a new "social network for Catholic education." The deal was set up as part of an agreement between Microsoft and the Catholic International Education Office (OIEC), an organization that promotes Catholic education.
Through a Microsoft education alliance, OIEC will provide access to technology and training to students and teachers. It will also establish an online space for collaboration and communication.
Office 365 for education is a set of services that includes Office Web Apps, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, and Lync Online. With Office 365, OIEC students and teachers will be able to:
In addition, OIEC's community of schools will receive subscriptions for Microsoft Learning Suite, a set of 24 free tools for educators, including Windows Live Movie Maker, Live Photo Gallery, Mathematics 4.0, Chemistry Add-in for Word, and others.
The first stage of the work, which starts in 2013, will be to provision software for some 4.5 million students as part of a three-year alliance plan. That could grow with time to cover all 43 million students who attend Catholic schools in 102 countries. The idea of the new social network is to boost the training and access to software that will help students prepare for the use of technology in the workplace.
Schools will also gain access to Microsoft's Partners in Learning Network, an online teacher and administrator networking community. Within that, OIEC will have its own community to allow Catholic school personnel to collaborate.
OIEC will work with Tralcom, an education service provider with international projects, to handle the deployment efforts.
"In alliance with Microsoft, we are entering a new era in global Catholic education," said Angel Astorgano, general secretary of OIEC. "We will offer the most advanced technology, knowledge, and skills to our schools so our next generation of graduates is prepared for the new challenges of the 21st century."

2012 Kia Optima
Choose Kia Optima Style:
C/D Overview:
The Optima might be the most gorgeous of Kia's attractive lineup, and the interior is just as pretty. Sharing a platform with the Hyundai Sonata, the Optima comes standard with a four-cylinder. Want more power? An optional turbo four has the power to take on the competition's V-6 engines.
Base Price: $20,250 - $27,250
Classy styling, spacious interior, excellent ergonomics, good base powerplant, quick turbo engine, stellar fuel economy.
Slightly rough ride, engine can be a bit thrashy.
What's New
Redesigned for 2011; unchanged for 2012.
Behind The Wheel
Despite similar dimensions to its platform-mate, the Optima feels wider and longer than the Hyundai Sonata. Artificial steering feel and an al dente ride are the only dynamic complaints we have about the Optima.

Field postcard from Corporal Hitler to his regimental comrade Karl Lanzhammer, from Munich. Hitler was wounded by shrapnel in October 1916. In December 1916 he had just been discharged from hospital and was then stationed with the reserve battalion in Munich. In the brief text, Hitler reveals some spelling difficulties by writing the German word for immediately, 'sofort' with double f – 'soffort'.
Dear Lanzhammer,
I am now in Munich at the
Ersatz Btl. Currently I am under dental treatment. By the way I will report voluntarily for the field immediately.
Kind regards A. Hitler

Protect MU Students Free Speech Rights
Freedom of expression and the exchange of ideas are essential in an academic setting and should be encouraged rather than punished. The signers of the petition demand that the student who was suspended for expressing his personal beliefs online in a form of a personal blog be fully reinstated to the University and that all disciplinary actions taken against him be overturned. Specifically, the signers of petition believe that the decision by the Marquette University Faculty/Student Conduct Board should be overturned on the following grounds: Whereas: The Dental School Faculty/Student Conduct Board denied the student a fair hearing Whereas: The University grossly infringed on his right to freedom of speech by using statements made to a close group of friends on his personal blog against him Whereas: The punishment was overly excessive and can be shown to be more than arbitrary and capricious Whereas: The decision, If upheld, would set a disastrous precedent for student free speech rights and would give the University a seemingly limitless reach into students lives. Please join Marquette College Democrats, Marquette College Republicans, and the blogs of 1832,The Warrior Blog,GOP3.com and others by signing this petition with your @MU email address if you have one. [If you would like your organization or blog added to the official petition sponsor list please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com ]

High schools in the School District of Philadelphia have begun adopting CollegeSupplement.com to allow students unable to meet admissions officers in person to communicate with potential colleges through secure online video.
"Many of our kids are exceptional postsecondary candidates with challenging and extraordinary life experiences. At 82 percent free/reduced lunch, our students don't have an equal opportunity to travel and present themselves on campus as is routinely done by affluent applicants," said Eileen Maicon Weissman, principal of Kensington Business School. "Using CollegeSupplement.com, admissions officers can also see my students' passion for continued education and likelihood of college success."
Multimedia supplements to college applications have begun surfacing as a tool to deepen the understanding of the individual, including character, achievements, and talents. A student records and uploads quick-format video individually or in the high school and includes a personal passcode in the application. Admissions officers then have the option to view brief clips while evaluating candidates. Michigan State University recently announced that it was embedding the technology in its online applications.
"What our students have to say is just as important as the applicants whose families can afford to visit campus and our applicants can be heard at the admissions officer's convenience, any time day or night," said Richard Jenkins, principal of Roxborough High School.
"Our students really enjoy making their multimedia supplements and are learning valuable tech skills in the process," added Pat Walder, technology teacher leader at the school. "Two guidance counselors serving 1,000 students means our school and its pupils need to be very resourceful in the quest to attend colleges of choice."
CollegeSupplement provides a free service to both students and admissions officers, in which the videos are stored on other companies' servers, such as YouTube. It also sells a premium service to students that provides a higher quality of service and provides video hosting.

One Sunday morning at Officer Candidate School last Spring, I met Captain Thomas Dyer, the Army's first (perhaps one and only) Buddhist Chaplain. The first day that I met him, he told me that I'm limiting my power by relying too much on logic and not enough on intuition. It rang a bell. I believe that the last few years I've been using logic to justify myself, and sometimes point out flaws in others.
I remember 7 or 8 years ago when my life was all intuition, believing in all sorts of things I couldn't prove. I spent hours a day doing Tai Chi and various special kinds of meditation, believing that the real benefits to my practice were too deep for me to notice now. I believed there was special meaning when I came in close contact with a wild boar, goose and a tanuki (Japanese raccoon-dog) and shooting star (You are welcome to read the rest of this entry at returningtotheli...

NEWTOWN, Conn. – Victor Cruz hopes meeting with the family of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Connecticut school shootings has helped them cope with the tragedy.
The New York Giants receiver on Wednesday somberly recounted his hour-long visit with Jack Pinto's family a day earlier, and says he was most affected when asked about their decision to bury their son in his No. 80 jersey.
Cruz stopped for a moment, his eyes becoming watery: "You never go through some circumstances like this. This was definitely the toughest by far."
Pinto's family said Cruz was their son's favourite player. Cruz was one of 20 first-graders and six adults killed in the shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Cruz wrote Jack Pinto's name on his cleats and gloves before the Giants' 34-0 loss to the Falcons. He presented them to the family Tuesday.
Several people leaving the home confirmed Cruz was there.
NFL stadiums fell silent before Sunday's games to honour the victims' memory. Some teams darkened their scoreboards and lowered their flags to half-staff, while others wore helmet decals or black ribbons.
After learning that he was the favourite player of Pinto, New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz wrote "R.I.P. Jack Pinto," "Jack Pinto, my hero" and "This one is for you" on his shoes for the game against the Falcons in Atlanta. Cruz said he called the boy's family after hearing he was a Giants fan.
"I don't even know how to put it into words," Cruz said. "There are no words that can describe the type of feeling that you get when a kid idolizes you so much that unfortunately they want to put him in the casket with your jersey on. I can't even explain it."
The Patriots, the closest team to Newtown that played at home on Sunday, wore a helmet sticker with the city seal and a black ribbon on it; the cheerleaders and mascot wore black armbands, and owner Bob Kraft pledged $25,000 to the community, where he also owns a box-making factory. Before the game, the public address announcer asked for silence while 26 flares were sent into the air.
The Sunday Night Football broadcast on NBC, featuring the high-profile matchup of the Patriots and San Francisco 49ers, was moved to CNBC and the NBC Sports Network when President Barack Obama addressed the nation. The game returned to its regular channel after the president's remarks from Newtown.

This has happened to me a fair number of times...
- I check out a question that has been answered but not accepted because the answer was flat out incorrect
- I then provide an answer that does indeed solve the problem
- The person that answered before me then immediately edits their answer so it is now correct based off my answer
- The edited answer gets upvoted and or accepted when the original should have actually been downvoted or deleted.
I understand it's a difficult problem to solve but it's definitely discouraging to have happen repeatedly and has probably driven many users away.
Note: I'm not really talking about someone providing a "faster" quick and dirty answer. I'm talking about them literally being wrong and then getting "fixed"
