The Biggest Loser
Tony Romo is set to appear on Tuesday nights episode of The Biggest Loser. Why? I'm not sure. Why would Tony want to guest star in a television show entitled The Biggest Loser? Maybe the title just fits.
OK, ok…I'm biased. I hate Tony Romo as much as I hate
Donovan McNabb as much I used to dislike Donovan McNabb. I'm pretty happy that Tony has spent the off-season playing soccer and counseling fat people, the Cowboys are definately set up for success. Soccer?
Anyway, Tony is going to counsel and encourage the contestants of The Biggest Loser…to do what? Choke in big games? Lose in the first round of the playoffs? Fumble extra point snaps? If that's the counseling they need, Romo's got em covered. The press release from NBC says that trainer Bob Harper (Tony's boyfriend?) introduces the contestants to Romo while they are shopping and they then go for a hike. Uhh, wtf?
I guess you can tune in if you want to hate on Tony or a good laugh. I actually watch the show each week…usually while enjoying pizza and beer.
Cheers and Hail

The Best Sports Themed Shows Of All-Time
I've read many articles about the greatest sports movies of all-time but I've never scene a list of the greatest sports shows, so here's my list. First of all the rules…no news type shows (Real Sports, Outside the Lines.) No reality shows (Pro's vs. Joes, American Gladiator.) And finally the show has to have a scripted and predominate sports theme…so just because Ray Ramano was a sports writer, that doesn't make Everybody Love Raymond a sports show. What or is your favorite? Which shows did I miss? Let me know in the comments.

Arli$$ is tied for longest running series of any of the top 10 shows, airing for 7 seasons and 80 episodes on HBO. Arli$$ featured many notable athletes in guest starring roles, normally several different athletes in each episode. Robert Wuhl played the title character Arli$$ Michaels who was a sports agent and the show revolved around his agency. Arliss was sort of hit or miss, it could be real good and it could occasionally be pretty bad…but it definitely hit more than it missed.

When I was a kid growing up in the mid 80's, Saturday mornings weren't for cartoons, Saturday mornings meant WWF Wrestling and The Baseball Bunch. The Baseball Bunch was a syndicated series that aired for 3 seasons from 1982-85. Johnny Bench was the leader of the bunch with supporting roles from Tom Lasorda and the San Diego Chicken. It was so cheesy but it was so good…bad uniforms, bad hair, awesome mustaches and bad attempts at humor. Some of the best baseball players of the era would stop by to teach the Bunch about baseball including Lou Pinella who tore his rotator cuff while filming the show…he was batting against the San Diego Chicken. Pinella had previous run-ins with the Chicken and was not a fan, the injury ultimately ended Pinella's playing career.
Sports Night aired for 2 seasons and 45 episodes on ABC from 1998-2000. SportsCenter was at the height of it's fame and this show aimed to capitalize on that…but the show never found it's identity. Was it a comedy or was it a drama? The show varied from week to week and was canceled after season 2. The show had offers from cable stations including HBO, where it could have found it's legs and found a spot higher on this list…but creator Aaron Sorkin wanted to concentrate on another show he was working on, The West Wing. Basically started the televisions careers of Felicity Huffman and the like able Peter Krause.
Friday Night Lights is one of the best shows on television today and easily the best show on this list. Great story lines, great music, hot chicks and gifted actors. The football scenes are filmed to look realistic and you want to strap on your chin strap and play your heart out for Coach Taylor. Season 4 starts its NBC run this Friday and this season may be the best yet (the season has already aired on DirecTV.) You do not want to miss episode 5 and the amazing acting job by Zach Gilford. Did I mention this show featured Minka Kelly in 52 episodes…FNL wins!
The Bronx is Burning aired 8 episodes on ESPN in 2007. I guess it was billed as a mini-series but 8 episodes is a season. The show recreated the 1977 season of the New York Yankees and the turmoil that surrounded the team, specifically the trio of George Steinbrenner, Billy Martin and Reggie Jackson. The Son of Sam was also terrorizing the city that summer and the show used that as a subplot. Great acting by John Turturro (always great)as Billy Martin and Daniel Sunjata/Oliver Platt as Jackson and Steinbrenner.
1st and Ten aired for 7 seasons and 80 episodes on HBO from 1984-91. It was one of HBO's first original series and featured OJ Simpson in a starring role. The show was a comedy in the "North Dallas Forty" vein. 1st and Ten was a football show on TV when such a thing just didn't exist and it was on cable so you could get some nudity and bad language in the mix…it deserves some props.
Eastbound and Down : Kenny Powers is a champion
Eastbound and Down has only aired 1 season and 6 episodes to date but…Kenny Powers is the F'in man! Season 2 is set to begin filming this month and will feature KP pitching in the Mexican League…oh yeah, this is going to be good! Produced by Will Ferrell and starring Danny Mcbride, the show definitely has talent. The hardest job in television…McBride's pitching coach, he does throw like a girl.
The White Shadow was a basketball themed show that aired for 3 seasons from 1978-81 on CBS. The plot was that a white retired NBA player takes over as head basketball coach in a predominately black and hispanic school and all the issues that surround that scenario.
Playmakers Fight #1 or see more The Fight Videos or Playmakers Videos
Playmakers was the first original drama series to come from ESPN and it had loads of potential…until the NFL shut it down. The NFL was none to happy with ESPN for airing all of the NFL's dirty laundry (steroids, substance/domestic abuse, etc.) NFL players called it accurate, ESPN called it quits after just 11 episodes.

TV Tuesday: Friday Night Lights
My favorite TV show currently airing is Friday Night Lights (FNL.) A spin-off of the movie by the same name, FNL expands on the characters of the small rural town of Dillon, TX, where football is everything.
Peter Berg was the director of the movie and adapted it for the small screen. One of the things I dig about Peter is that he is a big Redskins fan. One of the shows main characters is a fullback that drinks a lot of beer, lives in a trailer and is named…Riggins. The name of Peter's production company that produces FNL is named 44Productions.
The writing and story lines in FNL are some of the best on TV today. The show is also blessed to have a group of great young actors who are given lots of freedom to ad-lib from the script. One particular actor, Zach Gilford, who plays Matt Saracen had one of the most amazing acting jobs I've seen on TV earlier this season. In an episode entitled "The Son," Matt deals with losing a father he never really knew…and struggles with how he should remember and honor a man he didn't like. Incredible job.
Other great young actors include Taylor Kitsch, Aimee Teegarden and Minka Kelly. The show has a lot of hot chicks pass thru it, which doesn't hurt it's standing with me. Coach Taylor is played by Kyle Chandler, when I hear some of his locker room speeches I want to go out and play.
FNL is currently running its 4th season on DirecTV. It will start airing on NBC in late April. I recommend you tune in to watch and get Seasons 1-3 on DVD to catch up.
Cheers and Hail

TV Tuesday:Dennis Hopper Nike Commercials
Today's TV Tuesday features some of the classic Dennis Hopper Nike commercials. The commercials ran back in the early to mid 90′s and featured Dennis as a crazed referee named Stanley who stalked NFL players. They were good then and they're even more awesome now…enjoy.
Sterling Sharpe "choo-choo"
Bruce Smith "bad things"
Junior Seau "footprint"
Barry Sanders "I still see him in my sleep"
Hardy Nickerson "el-dragon"
Michael Irvin "I hear the footsteps"
Troy Aikman "e.s.p."
95 Super Bowl (yes footsteps, football is the greatest)
NFL Playoffs "horse shoes & hand grenades"

TV Tuesday: Seinfeld
For the first ever TV Tuesday I think it's a no-brainer to just go ahead and get Seinfeld out of the way. On many critics list as the greatest show of all-time "yada, yada, yada" the show about nothing was must-see TV back on Thursday nights in the 90's. The Seinfeld cast recently had a reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm; I somehow forgot to tune in. I know Curb is supposed to be a funny show, but in the couple times I've watched it I just couldn't get into it.
Seinfeld will go down as one of my all-time favorites TV shows. Kramer was my favorite character, followed closely by George. Elaine and Jerry were funny together and Puddy was awesome. By the way…you can see Puddy playing basically the same character on Rules Of Engagement (a surprisingly decent show.) I could do without Newman. Jerry and George's parents were awesome and I particularly enjoyed the shows that featured the retirement community in Florida (Kramer running for president, Jerry working out vs. Lloyd Bridges.)
I ultimately believe that Seinfeld ended a couple seasons too soon, the show was in the zone and funnier than ever when it ended its run in 1998. Now, we have reruns available nearly 24 hours a day, so we can relieve all the great memories including the following classics:
"The Contest"
"The Marine Biologist"
"The Soup Nazi"
"The Maestro"
"The Chicken Roaster"
"The Implant"
"The Hamptons"
"The Boyfriend"
"The Abstinence"
"The Comeback"
Every single Kramer entrance, in order!
10 Great Seinfeld moments
Cheers and Hail

Excellent work guys,I wish you all prosperity and the best of this world GOD BLESS YOU
Best Music Website Miami 2007 - elHood.com
First came MySpace and YouTube. Now, there's a new kid in town. If MTV and Google got married, their baby would be elHood.com. This music Website works directly with artists and their music labels. It's actually designed as a tool for artists: They upload their own songs, share photos, announce news and events, and communicate with fans. Web users register in English or Spanish and create a profile. Once a member, a user gets beaucoup content from uncut and unreleased material, to behind-the-scenes news from music videos, concerts, and photo shoots. Users can stream content and customize their profiles and music and video players, but copyright laws prevent downloading. "From day one, we wanted to be more than a social networking site," says Demian Bellumio, CEO of Miami-based elHood.com and Hoodiny Entertainment Group, the site's parent company. Much of the content is exclusive to the site, which is constantly updated with artists' latest projects. Artists often visit the company's studio and do interviews or tape live performances, which are then posted online. "For artists, we are one of the most sophisticated platforms out there that allow them to connect with fans and to track who is listening to their music," Bellumio says. Also new and upcoming: elHood Radio, where users can pick between preprogrammed stations or create their own based on their preferences; and elHood TV, where media partners and record labels will have their own online channels. Video may have killed the radio star, but elHood is bringing him (and her) back.

Adolescence Education (M.A.T.)
Master of Arts in Adolescence Education
Qualified graduates from accredited undergraduate colleges and universities who are interested in teaching grades 7-12 find Ithaca College's program in Adolescence Education both invigorating and rewarding. The program prepares students for secondary school teaching careers in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, English, French, mathematics, physics, social studies, or Spanish.
Courses in the program emphasize the connection between theory and practice and are tied to ongoing field experiences in school and community settings. M.A.T. students develop the knowledge and skills they need for culturally responsive teaching in support of diverse student populations. Graduates of the program become leaders in their departments, schools, and communities.
Discipline-Specific Tracks
The English track of our M.A.T. program addresses New York State standards for information and understanding, literary response, critical analysis, and social interaction. The curriculum requires a range of oral and written assignments meant to stimulate thinking about how to teach the skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. There are four graduate course offerings in the academic area: English Language Arts, World Literatures, American Literature, and Pedagogy and Practice for the English Teacher.
Our discipline-specific courses in Mathematics are designed to provide deep mathematical knowledge and reasoning abilities with insightful connections to secondary school mathematics curricula. Students are required to take three math courses in addition to Pedagogy and Practice for the Mathematics Teacher, which prepares students for their professional fieldwork.
Modern Languages and Literatures
Our program meets both state and national standards for teachers of languages other than English, focusing on fluency and cultural understanding. Through extensive communication practice and the close study of literary texts, our students acquire a nuanced understanding of the language and a broad-based knowledge of the francophone or Spanish-speaking world.
The underlying philosophy of our science education program is that knowledge, competence, leadership, and commitment to service are the essential characteristics of an outstanding teacher. In addition to the major areas of study within each discipline, we stress the processes of science (inquiry, analysis, and design) and the ability to effectively communicate knowledge and ideas to others. Graduates of our program are expected to promote scientific literacy and encourage the "scientific habit of mind."
Social Studies
The social studies teacher education content area requirements are closely aligned with both state and national standards. Students are required to take graduate-level history electives in each of three categories: American, European, and global history. In addition, our pedagogy courses offer a strong global and multicultural focus along with exposure to secondary school students of varying ethnic, socioeconomic, and ability groups.
For more information on program requirements, please refer to the Catalog.

I'm Riding to End AIDS
From May 31s through June 8th, 2013, I'm volunteering as a Roadie for AIDS/LifeCycle. It's a 7-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.
Lately we've become really complacent. We trivialize the effect of this disease. This year we lost yet another close friend - so close that he was family. He was a long term survivor. Yeah sure you could say he had a heart attack and that's got nothing to do with HIV. But it does. With all the meds and treatments wreck the body. The heart gives out early. Dimentia comes unexpetedly.
On top of that people are making stupid sexual decisions because HIV's considered "no big deal" by way too many people.
This isn't a gay thing, by the way. I teach a ton of classes to the het population - you'd be surprised how little condom usage is out there. This means the creepy crawlies and deadlies are having a feast on our flesh.
If I sound a bit frustrated and edgy, you're right. By now I thought we'd kick this mo-fo in the butt... but no.So I keep doing this year after year. I'll be honest, it's really maddening at times... Thus this note is not as cheery cheer leader in tone as I've been in the past.
Dammit, help me support AIDS/LifeCycle by giving what you can. We'll keep doing this crazy thing until AIDS and HIV are a thing of the past.

Ala. Legislature sets stricter abortion standards
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Legislature is getting closer to placing stricter regulations on abortion clinics.
The Senate voted 22-10 Tuesday night to approve the Women's Health and Safety Act. It is a slightly different version of the bill passed by the House in February. The bill must return to the House for consideration.
The Senate's vote was largely along party lines, with support mostly from Republicans and opposition mostly from Democrats.
The bill requires abortion clinics to use doctors who have approval to admit patients to hospitals in the same city. It also sets stricter building requirements, including wider halls and better fire suppression systems.
Proponents say it will make abortions safer. Opponents say most of Alabama's licensed clinics can't meet the requirements.

Apple's website listed the refreshed Mac Pro as "new" after the opening keynote at the Worldwide Developers Conference yesterday, but complaints from critics, including an ex-Apple engineer, likely spurred the company to remove the alerting icon.
Former Apple engineer and current Google employee Andy Hertzfeld expressed his disappointment in the new Mac Pro through a Google+ post this morning. He said the high-end desktop "seems like it's stuck in time in 2010″ and only received an "inconsequential processor clock bump."
Apple unveiled an all-new MacBook Air and Pro lineup during its keynote, but the company did not announce any updates to its Mac Pro. The blogosphere jumped online to gobble up the notebooks, where they finally discovered the Mac Pro's minor spec-bump listed under the familiar "new" notation. Since then, the Cupertino, Calif.-based Company has been under-fire for displaying the machinery as new when it only boasts a few slight changes.

What does it mean? Mysterious message appears on the Space NeedleAugust 20, 2012 @ 6:46 pm (Updated: 11:36 am - 8/21/12 )
A mystery message has appeared on the Space Needle.
97.3 KIRO FM traffic reporter Kimi Kline took a photo of it from her plane while flying over Seattle Monday afternoon.
We were left wondering what #TopThis meant.
It turns out you get a shot at designing the Needle's new paint job. Your genius idea will remain on top of Seattle's most popular icon for six months from Oct. 21 through April 21, 2013.
"This really is a nod to our heritage. We were built as a symbol of the future, born of the imagination of a few and embraced by the world," said Space Needle President and CEO Ron Sevart. "As we look ahead, this is our way to continue to stir the imagination and look ahead to our next 50 years."
You have a until Sept. 20 to submit your ideas to the Space Needle's website.
KIRO host Dave Ross calls it "the worst billboard ever" unless of course, you're trying to speak to people flying over and peaking out from a window seat.
The Space Needle has featured the Galaxy Gold color since April to celebrate Seattle Center's 50th Anniversary. There have been several promotions starring the 605 foot tall landmark this year. In March, Rovio attached a huge, red slingshot to its legs possibly in hopes of flinging a giant bird across the city? It was all an effort to promote the new game, Angry Birds Space. The Space Needle also gave away a trip to space in May to a Tucson man who convinced them of his love for all things space.
While the Space Needle has been the center of Seattle attention all summer, it declined to fly the gay pride flag in June.
As you think about what you'd like to see on top of the Space Needle, you might also consider how it should appear in the next 50 years. It could get glass platforms extending from the observation deck.
The Space Needle has also alerted its Twitter and Facebook followers to the fact that you may find "galaxy gold" berets around town this week. One was spotted at the Pike Place pig, another on the Great Wheel.The hats are finders keepers, by the way.

RNA extraction from ten year old formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded breast cancer samples: a comparison of column purification and magnetic bead-based technologies
2007; 8
The development of protocols for RNA extraction from paraffin-embedded samples facilitates gene expression studies on archival samples with known clinical outcome. Older samples are particularly valuable because they are associated with longer clinical follow up. RNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is problematic due to chemical modifications and continued degradation over time. We compared quantity and quality of RNA extracted by four different protocols from 14 ten year old and 14 recently archived (three to ten months old) FFPE breast cancer tissues. Using three spin column purification-based protocols and one magnetic bead-based protocol, total RNA was extracted in triplicate, generating 336 RNA extraction experiments. RNA fragment size was assayed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the housekeeping gene glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), testing primer sets designed to target RNA fragment sizes of 67 bp, 151 bp, and 242 bp.Biologically useful RNA (minimum RNA integrity number, RIN, 1.4) was extracted in at least one of three attempts of each protocol in 86-100% of older and 100% of recently archived ("months old") samples. Short RNA fragments up to 151 bp were assayable by RT-PCR for G6PD in all ten year old and months old tissues tested, but none of the ten year old and only 43% of months old samples showed amplification if the targeted fragment was 242 bp.All protocols extracted RNA from ten year old FFPE samples with a minimum RIN of 1.4. Gene expression of G6PD could be measured in all samples, old and recent, using RT-PCR primers designed for RNA fragments up to 151 bp. RNA quality from ten year old FFPE samples was similar to that extracted from months old samples, but quantity and success rate were generally higher for the months old group. We preferred the magnetic bead-based protocol because of its speed and higher quantity of extracted RNA, although it produced similar quality RNA to other protocols. If a chosen protocol fails to extract biologically useful RNA from a given sample in a first attempt, another attempt and then another protocol should be tried before excluding the case from molecular analysis.

Grab as much cash as you can before the cops wreck your car!
Try to avoid getting caught in corners, for it is hard to get out of them without acquiring much damage.
- Submitted by Joshua
Watch for when they crash into each other. This can sometimes open a hole in which to get to the money more efficiently.
- Submitted by Joshua
A quick turnaround in the right scenario can really help. Often the police cars tend to take a long time turning around.
- Submitted by Joshua
Good acceleration is a must. It is much easier to escape out of being hit repeatedly with good acceleration (case in point, do not pick the green car).
- Submitted by Joshua
When the money gets behind your car, if you can steer it good, just back up, instead of turning around. It is faster, and the cops never take the time to back up so they have to turn around, giving you more time.
- Submitted by Dillon
If you do quick turns for no reason, the cops will turn the same way but not as quickly, so it usually makes a gap.
- Submitted by Liam
Take your time! Instead of rushing to get every single money right away, try looping around the outside and letting the police bunch together and crash. If the money is on the inside, wait until the police bunch and crash then find an opening and go through.

District Court Dismisses Copyright Suit Against Lexis, Westlaw
|Written by Adrienne Kendrick
Posted: February 21, 2013 @ 8:05 am
In a recent brief ruling, Manhattan Federal District Court Judge Jed Rakoff dismissed Edward White's lawsuit against legal research companies LexisNexis and Westlaw. An opinion had not been issued at the time of the ruling; however, the judge noted that the reasons for his dismissal would be set forth at a later date.
In February of 2012, Edward White and Kenneth Elan (both of whom are attorneys) filed a class action complaint against Westlaw, which is owned by Thomson Reuters Corp., and LexisNexis, which is owned by Reed Elsevier, PLC, claiming that the companies actively participated in "wholesale unlawful copying of attorneys' copyrighted work, bundled those works into searchable databases, and sold access to those works in the form of digitized text and images for huge profits." White's and Elan's plan was to represent two specific classes of attorneys–those who had registered their works with the U.S. Copyright Office (as White had) and those who had not (as in the case of Elan). A few months later, though, Judge Rakoff threw out Elan's claim, stating that "completing registration or pre-registration is a prerequisite to filing a claim."
A short time later, White dropped his class certification request in an amended complaint and sought to receive an unspecified amount in damages on the basis that his copyrighted legal briefs had been included in both Westlaw's "Litigator" database and LexisNexis's "Briefs, Pleadings and Motions" database. In particular, White's Motion for Summary Judgment argued that law firms and lawyers own the copyright to their own materials and "a court's docket is not a lawless, copyright-free zone." However, Westlaw and LexisNexis countered that argument, stating that they were entitled to use the documents under the Fair Use Doctrine on the basis that the documents were publicly available in the PACER filing system. The companies also claimed that they actually "enhanced and transformed" the documents by making them searchable for practitioners.
A Brief Look at the Fair Use Doctrine
Generally speaking, one of the primary rights that a copyright owner holds is the right to manage and control the reproduction of his or her own works; however, there are limitations on that right, such as those found under what's commonly referred to as the "Fair Use Doctrine" as codified in Section 107 of the copyright laws.
There are four factors that need to be considered when making a determination of whether or not a certain use is "fair." For instance, one must look at the "nature" of the copyrighted work. Also, the "purpose and character of the use" should be taken into account, to include a look into whether the use is for nonprofit educational purposes or commercial in nature. Additionally, one must consider the "amount and substantiality" of the portion used in relation to the entire copyrighted work. And finally, one must look at the "effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work."
For years, courts have found that a number of activities fall under the Fair Use doctrine, such as summaries of articles with brief quotes in a news report, quoted excerpts that are used in a review for the purpose of illustration or comment, and the use of small portions of a work by a teacher or student in an effort to illustrate a lesson. Still, those interested in using copyrighted works should keep in mind that just because you intend to use it for "educational purposes," that does not automatically mean that it will fall under the Doctrine. It will still be up to a judge to determine whether or not the use of certain works is fair, and the court typically considers such issues on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the four above-mentioned factors.
What Does This Ruling Mean for the Legal Research Companies and Others?
Naturally, one can assume that both LexisNexis and Westlaw are pleased with Judge Rakoff's decision. In fact, John Shaughnessy, a spokesman for Westlaw, commented that the decision allows Westlaw to continue on with the business at hand. More specifically, Shaughnessy said that "briefs and other court filings have been offered on Westlaw since 2003, and have been of immense value to attorneys and others seeking access to them. This decision enables us to continue to provide this service without interruption."
Nonetheless, there a few things that should be kept in mind by those seeking to use someone else's copyrighted work. There is often a fine-line distinction between what can be considered infringement and what can be considered fair use. Still, there are simple ways to keep yourself out of trouble. First and foremost, the best way to ensure that you avoid infringement is to simply get permission directly from the copyright owner before using the copyrighted work. If you find that it's not practical to get that permission, you may want to consider not using the material at all, unless you are completely confident that the Fair Use doctrine would apply in your case. Simply put: When in doubt, leave it out.

Cost of College Experience
What does the total cost of the college experience include? It's more than simply tuition and fees. Check out these tips to make sure you have all the bases covered.
- Quick Tips to Save Money While in College
- Tuition
- Fees
- Transcripts
- Books and Supplies
- Living Expenses (Housing Options)
- Transportation
- Meals
- Childcare
- Entertainment
- Budgeting
Quick Tips to Save Money While in College
Finding inexpensive options for books, housing, food and supplies can have a big impact on your budget.
- Live at home or close to campus, if that's not an option, carpool with another person
- Borrow or purchase textbooks from other students, if not an option, purchase "used" over "new". Investigate online options such as amazon.com or textbooks.com
- Apply for scholarships EVERY year, both inside and outside of the college you are attending
- Complete the FAFSA - some people assume they will not qualify for any aid without really knowing
- Identify local student discounts. Many places offer a discount if a student ID is shown
- Find the free events around town and go with friends to save on entertainment costs
- Instead of buying new, purchase items needed for your home on Craigslist or check out local garage and estate sales or your local Goodwill.
- If you decide to take out loans, be sure to discuss these options with your Student Financial Counselor so that you understand the interest rates for the various types and how they accumulate.
- Tuition rates vary by individual institution. Typically tuition at a private institution is higher per credit hour than a public/state institution or community college.
- Online tuition versus in-class tuition rates also vary.
- Tuition rates may also vary by program "accelerated/cohort" versus "traditional/in-class."
- Bellevue University has one general college fee per term. There are no separate, individual fees for parking, tutoring services, career services, WIFI, printing, or for most services offered in the library. However, depending on the program that you are enrolled in, there may be a special program fee, such as a lab fee for a science course.
- Fees are sometimes the "hidden" costs that you might not be aware of when you look at the price tag for college. You should ask the institutions you are considering what their fees are and if they are charged once per year or each semester. Generally speaking, other institutions charge upwards of $2,000 in fees.
- Some high schools and other college institutions may charge a fee to have official transcripts sent to each institution you are considering. This may cost anywhere from $3 - $5 each time. Students need to check with their previous institutions to determine if a cost is involved.
Books and Supplies
- Almost all courses will require at least one textbook.
- Textbooks can be purchased new or used. Textbook rental as well as digital textbooks are also options for some courses. You should compare which is the best option for you. Asking the professor which textbooks are required versus optional may help to keep costs down. It's important to note that some course textbooks are higher priced than others. For example: science, technology and some business courses like accounting have higher prices.
- Renting textbooks is a great option, but make sure you are aware of return dates. If rented textbooks are not returned by the deadline indicated, fees are charged. In addition, if damage is sustained to the textbooks while rented, more fees could be charged.
- Whether you are renting or purchasing textbooks, please review the Bookstore return policies to ensure you understand when and how you can return books for a full or partial refund. Policies are strictly enforced.
- Other supplies to consider: calculators, flash drives, pens, notebooks, software, highlighters, computer/laptop, etc. These need to be factored in the total cost because they can add up over time.
Living Expenses (Housing Options)
- Some institutions offer on-campus housing, which may or may not be more expensive than living in an apartment with friends or at home with family members.
- The expenses associated with apartment living usually include: monthly rent, utilities (gas, electricity, internet, cable, phone, etc.) and do NOT forget the application fee and deposit required at the beginning of the lease.
- Living at home with family members may or may not include any of the above mentioned expenses, but for many students, this is a much more cost-effective option.
- Bellevue University does not provide on-campus housing options but does have an apartment list of options that are within about 3 miles of the main campus. Students can review these to determine a general range for monthly rent, deposit and location in proximity to campus. In addition, Roommate Connection is a way for students to post that they are looking for a roommate to share an apartment. Both of these resources are available to all Bellevue University students.
- Depending on the distance you live from campus you may need a car, as public transportation options are minimal to get to and from campus.
- Expenses for a car generally include gas and overall maintenance. This will vary depending on the age and condition of the vehicle.
- Custom Catering, our exclusive cafeteria, provides daily meal specials at the low cost of $5.50 with a medium drink, as well as offering a large selection of other menu items.
- A rough estimate of a monthly grocery budget for one person is $150, and must be taken into consideration when planning your expenses.
- If you choose to go out to eat more often than eating at home, this can drastically increase the cost spent on food per month.
- While attending college, childcare is an expense you may need to consider if you have small children at home. Taking online classes can alleviate the need to pay for childcare, but if you prefer to take your courses in-class, you might have to factor in the cost of childcare during class times. Consider seeing if a family member or close friend can watch the kid(s) while you are in class. If not, there are many options from in-home, private daycare, to nanny's, to larger daycare centers. You should always be thorough in your search if childcare is necessary so that you can find one that works with the hours you are in class, is at a price point that you can afford and is a reputable person or place. Some scholarships will even help pay for childcare as many consider it part of the overall cost of college. Be sure to ask the college or university that you are attending if there are scholarships that can assist with this cost.
Let's be realistic...a student's entire college career will not be solely consumed with attending and studying for classes.
Students want to engage in and attend activities with friends as a way to meet new people and stay connected. Bellevue
University offers many FREE options for entertainment, including:
- Athletic events for all 8 sports teams (home games are free with a student ID)
- Student activities: bowling nights, movie nights, BRUIN week activities, student appreciation days, etc.
- There are many other events that take place in the Bellevue/Omaha area for students to engage in, some of which are free.
For more information on the various financing options for college, please refer to the Financial Services area of the Bellevue University website.

Comments about Toca Seated Bongo Stand:
The Toca Seated Bongo Stand is indeed a solidly fine piece of musical equipment. It is strong and well made. However,it must be totally disassembled to take to gigs and then must be a bit clumsy to reassemble quickly. It could use a carrying bag as well. Otherwise it is entirely useful if one is willing to transport it already assembled just for the sake of convenience.
Comments about Toca Seated Bongo Stand:
Good heavey duty hardware with good chrome and black double braced legs. It holds my bongos securely, and I can adjust it exactly how I like. It does not fit Meinl's freeride suspension block however.

Home Town:
Los Angeles, CA
Non-Profit Organizer
Parvati Shallow grew up the eldest of three siblings on a commune in Vero Beach, Florida. She and her family moved to Atlanta when she was 11 years old. Shallow put herself through college, attending the University of Georgia where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism with minors in French and Italian. While in college, she was an active member of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority and is a huge Bulldog fan!
A nature lover at heart, Shallow has spent extensive amounts of time camping and hiking through North America's state parks including the Tetons and Yellowstone. While in college, she organized a two-month backpacking trip through Europe where she and two friends visited 13 countries, sleeping in youth hostels, train stations, on beaches and park benches. Shallow's favorites include good sushi, wearing oversized jerseys, karaoke and cheering on "The Dawgs." She is also training for triathlons with her mom, Gale.
Shallow has found her niche with the Los Angeles boxing community and began competing in 2004. She and some fellow boxers have parlayed her passion for the sport into the creation of a non-profit organization titled "Knockouts for Girls," a charity that provides scholarships and boxing lessons for underprivileged girls. The organization recently held their first fundraising event that included boxing matches and a fashion show. Having been a huge success, she will be boxing at a second fundraiser in February, 2008.
Shallow currently resides in Los Angeles, California. Her birth date is September 21, 1982.

Buddy TV Interview w/ Parvati:
Hey everybody, this is Gina from BuddyTV and today, I'm talking to Parvati, the winner of Survivor: Micronesia. How has this week been for you? It must have been very crazy since Sunday night.
It has been crazy. It's been such a whirlwind. It's so much fun.
The look on your face, you looked pretty shocked when you ended up beating Amanda. Were you surprised with the votes?
Yeah. I think I was more surprised that it was over, that it was done, and that I actually won. I just didn't believe it. It was very surreal.
When you went into the final tribal council with Amanda, how confident did you feel that you could beat her?
I kind of felt like it was 50/50. I felt like if I could do a job at convincing the jury to respect my strategy, as far as playing the game and being in a position of power, then I would have a good shot at winning. But then I knew I had some good girlfriends that were there that liked me, and I also had some enemies there that didn't like me. Either way it was gonna work out.
You pulled in a lot of votes from the fans. Why do you think they respected your game over Amanda's?
Well, I set up an alliance with Natalie and Alexis and protected them in the game, and they probably got a lot further in the game because of that alliance. I think they appreciated that, and then I think I got Jason's vote just because I was honest and straightforward. I competed with him in that challenge, and essentially beat him in immunity, and I think he respected that a lot.
How did things change between you and Ozzy from the final tribal council to Sunday night's finale? How did you guys end up fixing your friendship?
I think Ozzy is mature enough to realize that it's a game, and it's not real. When you're out there you have to kill or be killed. Basically it's survival of the fittest. He said himself that you gotta outwit, outplay, and outlast in the same episode that he got voted out. I think he's come to terms with that. It wasn't personal. I do care about him and I think he's a great person.
If he had made it to the final two could anybody have beaten him?
No, there's no way anyone could have beaten him. The fans were drooling over him, and every girl was in awe of him.
Do you think that blindsiding him, getting rid of him, and being instrumental in that, was that your best move of the game?
That was a huge move for me. That's when I kind of outed myself for my strategy, and there was no way I could go back and not be seen as a threat after that, or a strategic player after that. Again I had to just buck up and be really forward about how I play the game after that.
You've said several times that you had the reputation from Cook Islands of being the flirt. Was that part of the reason that you wanted to come back and play a second time, to show that you've got more in your bag of tricks than just the flirt card?
Well I knew coming back that I would have to play a different way, but that wasn't the reason. I didn't want to prove to America that I'm not just a flirt, I wanted to win the game.
Was there anyone who didn't come back that was a favorite that you wished got to play the game a second time?
Maybe Shane.
A lot of people have said Shane this season. What is it about Shane that everyone seems to like?
He's just crazy. He's really entertaining out there, and you're dying for any form of entertainment.
If you were in control and you could have chosen who you sat next to in final three, who would you have taken with you of everyone who played this season?
I would have stuck with Amanda and Cirie. There's nothing I would change about how I played the game.
How does winning the money change your life? What do you plan on doing with it? Are you gonna take some time off, will you go on vacation, you gonna do some charity work? What will you do?
You know, it's so funny, I haven't even had one second to let it sink in that I have a million dollars back in my pocket. It's crazy to even think about. I'm going to help build up our charity, gain some more awareness for it, keep working on it, and doing some PR for it. It's called Knockouts For Girls, and we provide scholarships and boxing training for underprivileged girls. I really want to work with that and gain some more awareness for it, because I think it's a great thing.
Do you get to get out often with other Survivors and meet the fans during the year?
I haven't actually. A lot of people do that, but I've been really, really busy. If I could fit that in I'd do it for charity and stuff, but I'm not just gonna try to sink in to the Survivor community forever. I kind of want to move on. I'm just really glad, honestly, that it's over.
Do you have any regrets about the way you played the game at all?
Not at all. Not at all.
Alright, thanks so much for your time Parvati. Congratulations again.
Thank you.

More Parvati:
Parvati Shallow played the game once before, but this time she was far more successful since she knocked out 19 other players on Survivor: Micronesia Fans Vs. Favorites to take the title of sole Survivor and the $1 million prize.
Just moments after the 25-year-old boxer of Los Angeles was told she was the newest millionaire, she spoke about the differences from this game to the last, her relationships and whats next.
She was very happy to be taking home $1 million. Im ecstatic with being able to play the game again and you know, having it turn out how it turned out, Parvati began. It was awesome how it worked out.
She took sixth place the first time she played on Survivor: Cook Islands. What was the difference this time other than the fact that she won? What wasnt the difference? Oh my God. It was completely different game, it was different people, she said. It was a lot more strategy for me. A lot more thinking on my feet. A lot more making aggressive, offensive moves. Last time I laid back, I had a good time, I flirted a little.
One of her biggest rivals also made a return from the Cook Islands season to compete as a favorite. Jonathan Penner is a very strategic guy and I knew he is so good at manipulating people and getting them to believe what he says, Parvati commented about her competition. He like puts this mind trick on people. So, I knew that we didnt have a good bond and I knew we probably wouldnt be working together. So, he was my biggest competition I think.
Another favorite, James Clement of Survivor: China had a better bond with her than Jonathan. He and Parvati became an island couple as they flirted for most of the game until she turned on their alliance.
James was pretty mad at me about voting Ozzy out and about breaking our alliance, Parvati said. I think he was hurt, you know. I think he felt like what we had was real out there and I think he really kind of liked me. Was she just flirting with him for strategy? I love James, I think hes awesome. Were not dating or anything, but I think hes an amazing guy.
Although it cost her a vote from James, she said that turning on the alliance was the best move she made that helped her get to the end of the game. I think forming the womens alliance put me in a position of power in the game (but) I think my biggest move was winning immunity and voting Ozzy out.
Having played with some of these people before and knowing them personally, Parvati said she had to distinguish the game from friendships. Did she feel remorse for voting some of them out? Outside of the game, yes, because I do care about them, she said. However, inside the game, my head was in the game and it was strategy until the end. So I separated emotion and friendship from strategy and game play.
This 16th season of the reality giant brought in 10 ultimate fans to compete against 10 of the most recent favorites. Each group was given their own camp, and Parvati said the fans location was no paradise since she had to spend some time there after a tribal switch. The fans camp was miserable, she said. There was no sand, there was no food, there was no cave. So thats pretty much everything you need when youre out in the wilderness and we didnt have any of that. It rained every day. We couldnt make a fire. It was awful.
But miserable or not, she still outlasted all the others throughout the full 39 days to take the prize. The final votes were actually cast on location sometime in December, leaving plenty of time for her to ponder if she had won or not, which she said she didnt do. I honestly have been keeping myself so busy that I havent really given a lot of thought to the ending, she said. Until recently, until like last week. I saw Amanda a few times before and were both like totally hyperventilating. But I tried not to spin my wheels too much and get preoccupied with the outcome because I knew it was out of my hands. I couldnt do anything about it so whats the point worrying about it?
Having played the game twice and now conquering it, Parvati knows exactly what she wants to do continue working on the charity she helped create to provide scholarships to underprivileged girls. Ive been working with the boxing charity a lot that my friends and I started up, she said. Its called Knockouts for Girls. We shot a swimsuit calendar. Were going to have a big party to release it in Los Angeles in June. So just kind of getting the ball rolling with the charity, building it up and raising some more money to help these girls.
She also said she would never take on the challenge of Survivor again. I would never play this game again. I played it as hard as I could, I did as best as I could. And I couldnt top this. I just couldnt.
