An appetite for travel

Produced by the Oregon Business marketing department
With a subtle pop, Becky Morus coaxes the cork out of a bottle of Columbia Gorge pinot noir, and tips it toward the glasses of four eager Californians visiting Phelps Creek Vineyards in the Hood River Valley.
It's no surprise Oregon's 28 million-plus overnight visitors take delight in the state's iconic places; now research shows they take delight in its products, too — particularly culinary products. They come to sample fine wine, craft beer and artisanal cheeses. They shop at fish markets and farm stands. They take cooking classes, hit up countless food carts and dine at some of the West's top tables. According to a recent study commissioned by Travel Oregon, six in 10 visitors to the state participate in a culinary experience during their stay.
Thanks to that hearty appetite, culinary tourism is a significant portion of the $9.2 billion travel and tourism injects into the Oregon economy.
Visits that keep on giving
Phelps Creek Vineyards taps into the growing interest by offering a variety of tours, featuring barrel tastings, picnic lunches and rides by horseback or hay wagon through its 30-acre vineyard. The family-owned winery hosted some 350 guests — from New York to Texas to Asia — in its first year of tours. Nearly all of those guests also joined the Phelps Creek wine club, each membership adding another $300 in annual sales.
"They become loyal to the brand," says Morus, the winery's operations manager. "Once they visit, guests establish a personal connection to the product and to this place. Every time they open a bottle of our wine back home or dining out, they get to experience those vacation memories and share them with their friends."
Numbers tell the story
Research underscores Phelps Creek's experience. A 2011 Travel Oregon study showed visitors don't only buy Oregon goods while on their trips; nearly 60% continued to do so when they returned home. Wine, beer and food products top the list.
What's more, 40% of Oregon visitors believe sharing Oregon products with family and friends will greatly influence their decision to visit Oregon in the future. It doesn't take an economist to appreciate the magic of that kind of business leverage.
This tourism-driven bounty of increased sales spurs business expansion and job growth. So do visitors on business trips: 2.6% say they'd consider expanding, opening or relocating a business in Oregon. Not a small percentage when you consider it represents nearly 700,000 new business prospects.

If you owe more than your house is worth and you can't afford the payments your options are foreclosure, short-sale or bankruptcy. A foreclosure will eliminate your liability on a first mortgage but often leaves you vulnerable to being sued by any second mortgage. In a short sale it is possible to negotiate a release of liability on both a first and a second mortgage. In either case, the "debt relief tax" may be a concern. A bankruptcy may allow you to stop a foreclosure, repay past-due mortgage payments and remove and eliminate a 2nd mortgage. Click here for more information:

Scottsdale Chaparral won its third girls volleyball title in four years by sweeping Cave Creek Cactus Shadows 25-19, 25-19, 25-18 Saturday night at Chandler Perry High School.
"It's awesome," Chaparral coach Jayme Crowley said about winning another state title.
"We had to overcome adversity since we had no gym this year and a lot of late night practices."
Third-seeded Chaparral came out firing on all cylinders in Game 1, scoring 12 of the first 17 points and pushing the lead to as eight points at 20-12. Cactus Shadows, the No. 4 seed, rallied and closed to within six but eventually dropped the first game.
In the second game, the two teams battled back and forth; Cactus Shadows held a 13-10 edge until Chaparral senior outside hitter Cat Highmark took control of the game. Highmark keyed a 12-2 run that propelled the Firebirds to a Game 2 victory. She recorded six kills, three blocks and a pair of assists to get Chaparral within one game of the crown.
"She wanted. She worked for it. She's the hardest worker in our program and she's left a lasting legacy," Crowley said, "Everybody will remember Cat Highmark. She is a catalyst but it was a total team effort."
The teams were tied at 13-13 in the third game when Chaparral ran away with the win and the state title. The Firebirds scored 12 of the final 18 points to open breathing room and win the third game comfortably.
"It was nice because it's my last year and it's the perfect way to end the season," Highmark said, "It was special because I've known a lot of the girls for a long time and now we have to leave."
Despite his team finishing second, Cactus Shadows coach Tom Gardner said he was very proud of his Falcons.
"We had a great year. The girls worked so hard all season. We were really happy to get here," Gardner said.
"Although we were one game short of our ultimate goal, we finished ahead of a lot of great teams."
Chaparral almost didn't make it to the final as it was two points away from sweeping Phoenix Sunnyslope in the semifinals before the Vikings rallied and forced a fifth game, which the Firebirds won 16-14 to advance to the title game.
"I think that helped us with our resolve, determination and heart," Crowley said.
"And I told the team after the two games that we won (in the finals), 'Let's go back and learn from our mistakes (against Sunnyslope) and let's come forward and finish.' "
And that's exactly what they did.

Mercedes-Benz must believe there's more to the interior of its 2014 S-class sedan than can be expressed in a breathless news release—more than can even be shown in a handful of shadowy teaser photos. Because there's no other way to explain how we found ourselves in a darkened room somewhere outside of Stuttgart, listening to Diana Krall on a crisp sound system while getting a "hot stone massage" alongside a handful of fellow journalists—except that we did it all without leaving the very comfortable seats of a long-wheelbase 2014 S-class sedan sporting a camouflaged exterior. According to Dr. Goetz Renner, head of the M-B customer research center, the coming S-class will strive to offer "active luxury" features rather than simply reducing environmental discomforts. So this "car-as-spa" concept that we got a taste of makes a certain sort of sense, especially as Mercedes-Benz works to replace the discontinued Maybach marque and go head-to-head with other luxury heavy hitters.
But it isn't as though the ride of the current S-Class is anything but comfortable. Once you've got the typical noise, vibration and harshness concerns locked down, what's left? "We want to energize you," explained Renner. Of course. Realizing that attributes like beauty and luxury are tough to quantify, Mercedes-Benz ambience technicians developed a spherical "Coordinate System of Interior Perception" to calculate the mathematically ideal S-Class interior using complex multiplanar geometries. That's what we imagine you'd have to do to arrive at "Coordinate System of Interior Perception." But Mercedes insisted the coordinate system was a real thing, at least for the purposes of Renner's presentation. However the S-Class interior redesign played out, the result was enough to inspire one comically over-the-top news release boasting of the car's 152 buttons! One hundred-plus actuators and electric motors! Hot stone massages! A massive 12.3-inch infotainment screen! A 43.5-degree reclining rear seat! And so much more!
But the most eye-roll-worthy new feature of them all was the onboard aromatherapy system. It's indicative of where Benz is trying to take the S-class, and it sounds like a complete gimmick—on paper. So we're glad we talked with Sabine Engelhardt, who developed the fragrance-dispensing system for the Maybach before moving on to the S-Class. Engelhardt freely acknowledges that there are obstacles to selling consumers on onboard perfuming. "Car fragrance is typically the Magic Tree air freshener," she explained. Her honesty was refreshing, and the end result is far more subtle than we imagined it: The entire active perfuming apparatus tucks away neatly in the glove box. To operate it, you plug in a paperweight-sized glass canister containing perfume. The vehicle's HVAC system does the rest, wafting timed bursts of the scent throughout the car. There are four fragrance "moods" available from Mercedes-Benz: "Nightlife," "Downtown," "Fireside" and "Sport." Engelhardt was right about the delicacy of the scents. To our nose, all were inoffensive. If you want to step up your S-Class with the high-class aroma of Aqua Velva, no worries: Since the canister system accepts liquid scents, it can accept nearly any off-the-shelf perfume, cologne or aromatic oil.
Then there are the hot stone massage seats. In-car massage tech has always been a bit underwhelming—more about the concept of getting a massage while driving than the actual quality of the massage itself. We're not sure if it the new system feels like a hot stone massage (we've never had one), but it was certainly a step up over the usual Sharper Image/robot-pincer experience. We were told that designers looked to previous S-Classes for visual inspiration. We like to think that we saw hints of those grand old boats in this new generation's fluid lines—the armrests suggest the funkily curved ones found on the doors of the W116—but we're sure designers started with a (mostly) fresh slate.
From what we could see, that slate was used to good effect. Attention to detail was impressive: Armrests curved smoothly into the door panels, which were, naturally, heated. Leather surfaces were taut, with perforated trim panels on the wide dashboard providing visual contrast. Photo-etching permitted the fabrication of intricate metal speaker covers. We scarcely noticed the switchgear tucked into every nook and cranny. A sliding console cover in one of the cars displayed a half-millimeter gap while closed. We were assured that such a defect would never reach a production vehicle.
Panel gap aside, we were pleased to see that the interior retained the traditional Teutonic solidity. In the struggle to save every fraction of an ounce of weight, Mercedes-Benz engineers seemed to know where to shave (seat rails are thinner and lighter) and where to not to skimp (metal switches and controls and wood trims aren't going anywhere). Shuttling journalists to Germany, offering them limited time in a car's interior and then denying them a glimpse of the exterior altogether was…a bit unorthodox. We weren't even permitted to take our own photographs. But Mercedes-Benz wouldn't have done it without being confident that the feature-laden interior of the next S-Class was good enough to stand on its own. We liked what we saw, felt and smelled, and we're eager to see if the rest of the S-Class matches what we previewed in a darkened room outside of Stuttgart—heaven knows that Mercedes-Benz has a lot riding on its extremely comfortable, hot stone-massaged seats.

A Taiwanese gay couple has decided to suspend the legal fight to register their marriage after concerns from parents and relatives over potential changes to inheritance entitlements, even as the government releases a landmark report calling for support for sexualities rights.
Just over a week after Chen Ching-Hseuh, Kao Chih-Wei and their mothers appeared in court together, Chen revealed on Facebook yesterday (20 Apr) that they are temporarily suspending the case against the Taiwanese government's repeated refusal to register their marriage.
Despite receiving widespread online support, Chen points out their families are now 'unprecedentedly dispirited'.
'Seniors in our families have asked [my] mom to beware how a [same-sex marriage] law, once passed, would start changing the order of inheritance in the civil law,' he said, noting pressure facing both families have made 'what we're looking forward to also what we're afraid of.'
He added what used to be a pure relationship and happy union has unknowingly drawn both families into an embarrassing stalemate.
On lawyers' advice, Chen told Gay Star News that he currently cannot elaborate further on topics such as the existing inheritance rights gay couples have and whether the suspension has made Kao less protected.
The Facebook confession, he said, aims only to induce people in a similar situation to reflect on the real meaning of marriage.
It is only after the administrative litigation started that Chen realized none of the three branches of power, or man-made law is capable of giving gay citizens innate 'peace' and 'happiness'.
Eventis Liu and Jerry Kuo, the couple's voluntary lawyers, have jointly expressed their support.
'Lawyers should not use others' life to fight for human rights,' Liu said. 'The law is there to help everyone secure their well-being, but people do not necessarily need it to be happy.'
The couple and their lawyers have remained positive about the litigation should it eventually go on.
In a separate development, the Office of the President suggests yesterday in its first human rights report that Taiwan has offered welfare to people with diversified sexualities in many categories, but since same-sex (and unmarried heterosexual) families do not enjoy relevant rights protection such as tax benefits or the right of abode, there has to be review and improvement.
Citing Article 23 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the report says family protection should be extended to unmarried couples and other diversified families to get rid of discrimination based on sexualities and sexual identification.
Notwithstanding the apparently positive move, the Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights has criticized the government for 'lying publicly' and evading the fact that LGBT people can by no means enjoy welfare as a relative or partner in their relationships.
According to a poll of 1141 people aged between 20 and 59 by local TV station TVBS released this week, 49% of the respondents support same-sex marriage, and 29% are against it. Of those who know some gay people, 64% are for homosexual marriage. The level of support is among the highest in history.

Super heavy-duty tarps are unusually sturdy, offer incredible resistance to weather conditions, and can be used for a variety of construction or commercial needs. Whether you need to cover up a leaking roof or need to cover up your construction equipment, few things can last as long and work as well as these tough and thick tarps. They do not tear as easily as regular tarps, and that in addition to the reinforced grommets means that the tarps will stay in place even during strong winds or adverse weather. These tarps can take a lot of stress and will still stay in place.
As an added benefit, most of the super heavy-duty tarps also have a very strong UV protection. This means that if your equipment or belongings needs to be stored under the tarp in the sun, the UV protection will prevent the sun from fading the colors of your belongings. These tarps can be especially valuable around a farm, as the tarps can be placed on your tractor or your hay supply equally well and the tarp will prevent the weather and the sun from getting the upper hand on long term outdoor storage needs.
For those who haul loads of heavy items like steel bars, lumber or other construction equipment, super heavy-duty tarps are perfect for fastening down on top of the load. The unusually strong materials will prevent the load from making holes in the tarp and the wind resistance of the tarp means that the tarp will not rip or tear and flap loose. In other words, when you opt for a really strong tarp, you can rest assured that the load is secure at all times. In addition, the rain resistance is excellent in these types of tarps and it can keep your load dry.
Most of these super heavy-duty tarps also come with mildew resistant components, and this lets you keep the tarp in great condition for a very long time. The materials on the tarps do not allow for mildew buildup and in turn, this will keep the tarp from dry rotting or rotting from the mildew. This means that the strength and integrity of the tarp is kept intact and you are making a great investment in an item that can endure heavy outdoor use for years to come.
Construction sites often use these types of super heavy-duty tarps, because they can cover equipment or a section of ground from the weather. You can also set up a quick shelter on a construction site using the grommets and some rope. In addition, many people that work in the rescue fields will be able to set up tents for medical care or even food, and can use the tarp as a tent roof for an outdoor use. Truly, these tarps have so many functions and are so very durable that the extra cost of getting a thicker mil is worth every penny. Make a smart investment and get a tarp that will last for years and serve you well.

article 1—student rights and responsibilities
Part 1. Student Rights
(a) Sexual harassment is defined by law and includes requests for sexual favors, sexual advances or other sexual conduct when submission is either explicitly or implicitly a condition affecting academic or employment decisions; or (1) the behavior is sufficiently severe or pervasive as to create an intimidating, hostile, or repugnant environment; and (2) the behavior persists despite objection by the person to whom the conduct is directed. The University considers such behavior, whether physical or verbal, to be a breach of its standards of conduct. It will seek to prevent such incidents and will investigate and take corrective actions for violations of this policy. Further, retaliation against those who seek remedies under this policy is prohibited.
(b) The University will not tolerate sexual harassment of students or employees and will take action to provide remedies when such harassment is discovered. The University environment must be free of sexual harassment in work and study.
(1) In order to ensure that the University is free of sexual harassment, appropriate sanctions will be imposed on offenders in a case‑by‑case manner.
(2) The University will respond to every case of sexual harassment reported. Reporting and grievance procedures are published on the Web sites of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Access at http://diversity.illinois.edu/
(3) Incidents of alleged sexual abuse or sexual assault are included under § 1‑302(b).
University guidelines on responsible professional conduct (in the Academic Staff Handbook) state that individuals assessing the work of others should base their assessments on appropriate professional criteria. Due to the inherent conflicts of interest, no individual should initiate or participate in institutional or educational decisions involving a direct benefit or penalty to a person with whom that individual has or has had a sexual relationship. Where supervisory or student‑teacher relationships exist between husband and wife, or members of a couple, whether married or not, it is the responsibility of the teacher or supervisor to alert his/her supervisor so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Benefits of Wearing Makeup
Wearing makeup is fun and functional!
As well as enhancing your best natural features, makeup also acts as a protective barrier for your precious skin. It protects you from harsh elements in the environment such as sun and wind that can cause blockages and dryness on your skin.
A makeup application is only as good as the condition of the skin. Performing daily skin cleansing, toning and moisturizing...and exfoliating twice weekly... is key to obtaining well-conditioned skin. With a proper skin care routine, makeup application will truly be a beautiful experience.
Wearing makeup will improve self-esteem, self-confidence and will make you feel happier and look happier from the inside out. You will naturally present yourself in a more self-assured way. When you
attractive, you
You will even stand straighter and taller!
Studies show that women who wear makeup are more likely to be hired for a job than those who don't. Caring about how you look can pay off!
Makeup today is lighter and more natural looking than ever before, and it is made to match all skin tones. It also corrects imperfections on the skin, has sunscreen, and is moisturizing. When applied correctly, makeup makes you look fresh and shows that you value the way you look. It can make you look younger, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and highlight your best features.
The heightened sense of self-awareness and positive self-image that wearing makeup provides will brighten your day and make you feel fabulous!

Luxor Capital Group Announces Its Disapproval Of CommonWealth REIT Decision To Move Forward With Its Offering
NEW YORK, March 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxor Capital Group, LP, a New York based investment manager ("Luxor"), beneficially owns and controls in excess of 6.7 million common shares of CommonWealth REIT (NYSE: CWH), or approximately 8.0% of the common shares outstanding. Luxor is releasing the following open letter to the Trustees of CWH:
To the Board of Trustees:
On February 27, 2013, CommonWealth REIT ("CWH" or the "Company") announced that it had priced 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock in a public offering (the "Offering") at $19.00 per share. On February 28, 2013, the Issuer announced the underwriters had exercised the overallotment option on 4,500,000 shares, and on March 1, 2013, the Issuer announced that it had increased its maximum tender offer amount with respect to outstanding debt to $650,000,000. In response to these decisions by you, we are actively exploring litigation to recoup the value destroyed by the Offering and are willing to use any and all appropriate legal means to prevent further destruction of shareholder value.
We find it unconscionable that the Board of Trustees would vote to issue shares significantly below-market in light of the offer on the table from a credible buyer at a significant premium. We agree with CNBC's assessment of the transaction, which they described as "a real-life poison pill" and their mocking assessment of your decision to pursue the Offering in light of the bid- "amazing- amazing that they did this".[1]We demand the following steps be immediately taken by the Board of Trustees:
- Form an Independent Committee with Independent Counsel and an Independent Financial Advisor to immediately pursue strategic alternatives;
- Cease all asset acquisition and disposition activity until the conclusion of the independent strategic review;
- Cease all equity offerings in CWH or indirectly through its majority owned subsidiary, Select Income REIT;
- Do not seek to amend, in any way more favorable to REIT Management and Research LLC ("RMR"), the existing management agreement between CWH and RMR; and
- Authorize, if you have not already done so, the Independent Trustees to retain their own independent counsel. Given the internal conflicts of interest we currently perceive at the Board level, we believe that CWH counsel cannot adequately represent the Independent Trustees and therefore that the Independent Trustees cannot adequately represent shareholders.

Teen Charged For Murder After Body Was Found In Burning Home

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A teen faces murder charges in connection with the death of a man whose body was found last week in a burning north Minneapolis house, authorities say.
The Hennepin County Attorney's Office says 18-year-old Jamil Joshua Eason faces second-degree murder charges stemming from a Nov. 2 incident where firefighters knocked down flames at a home on 3838 Humboldt Ave. North.
Inside the home, firefighters found 45-year-old Jay Arthur Rosio face down on the floor.
A cell phone and computer taken from the home led authorities to arrest Eason, the attorney's office said.

Surprise! The bottom three contains at least one shocking member, Usher debuts the new Justin Bieber video featuring Usher, and the first of our Top 11 dancers goes home. Who could it be? Take a peek at the first results show of the season.
We open with a group performance. The trouble is that 11 dancers are still too many to focus on all at once. No one really stands out though a few are hitting their moves a little harder than others. The best part is definitely when a couple of the guys use Alexie/Ashley (the camera is too far away to tell) as a human jump rope. Melinda gets a little barefoot soft shoe going and I find it super annoying. Guys, I really think I'm starting to dislike her. I can't explain it, but when she did her little sexy body roll thing my finger automatically reached for the fast-forward button. By the way, the song is "Acapella" by Kelis if you are wondering.
During the reintroduction of the judges, Nigel takes the opportunity to pimp National Dance Day. It will take place on July 31st and a dance routine created by Napoleon and Tabitha especially for that day is available to download at www.dizzyfeetfoundation.org. It's certainly a cool idea. Of course, in my head everyone will just spontaneously start dancing in the streets that day. I can't be alone in that wish though.
The first group: Alex, Robert, Lauren, Kent
This group definitely looks like a possible top four. All of the guys were phenomenal last night and Lauren showed enough potential to keep her in the competition.
Alex is safe.
Robert is safe.
Kent and Lauren hold hands, terrified.
Kent is safe.
Kent hugs Lauren saying he loves her and it's very sweet. And then Cat drops the first bombshell:
Lauren is safe.
Cat really plays with them here, but it makes for a fantastic moment. She interrupts Kent's comforting words to Lauren in order to reveal that she's also safe and, in response, Kent picks her up and carries her around the stage.
The second group: Melinda, Billy, Ashley, Alexie
These four definitely seem shakier. I think Melinda will end up in the bottom three definitely. Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. I'm really scared that Alexie might go home tonight. I love her, but she really hasn't shown us the talent and personality that endeared her to me during those days in Vegas.
Melinda is in the bottom three.
Billy is safe.
Ashley is safe
Alexie is in the bottom three.
Noooooo! I don't want Alexie to be voted off so soon. Mia tells her it's time to "download." I hope she can pull this off.
Last group: Jose, Adechike, Christina
My guess is that Adechike will end up in the bottom three. Christina showed such a different side during her piece last night. Adechike's number was more easily accessible though, so I could be wrong. There is no way Jose goes home tonight.
Jose is safe.
Adechike is safe.
Christina is in the bottom three.
Seriously? As much as the dance didn't really do anything for me, I thought she was still better at inhabiting that character.
Guest Performance No. 1: Karine Plantadit and Keith Roberts from Twyla Tharp's Broadway show Come Fly Away.
"That's Life" by Frank Sinatra plays and I'm already in love with these two. I really appreciate the guest dancers more than the singers most of the time and this performance is no exception. They are simply amazing and truly show what our contestants have to look forward to if they keep growing. Oh! Jacket toss — I'm a sucker for that move. Frank Sinatra would be proud; sultry and beautiful all at the same time.
Cat Deeley scolds the judges for goofing off. One of the things I like about the show is that the judges genuinely seem to like one another even when they "fight." This show is infused with such a fantastic vibe thanks to them.
Solo Performance: MelindaSong: "I Got the Feelin'" by James Brown
She's tapping. Normally I go crazy for tap dancing. I just don't think that what she does is interesting enough for this show. Tap dancing is, or has at least become, her crutch.
Solo Performance: AlexieSong: "I've Been Loving You Too Long" by Otis Redding
Love, love, love the song and I love Alexie, but I'm just not moved by her in this moment. I think her survival depends on how receptive people are to a tap routine.
Solo Performance: ChristinaSong: "La Guarachera" by Celia Cruz and Tito Puente
Yep. I think Christina is staying. She's just so exciting to watch. It's definitely going to come down to Alexie or Melinda.
The judges confer.
Guest Performance No. 2: Usher performing "OMG"
No matter what you think of Usher — and I like him so don't get any ideas — you have to admit he's a phenomenal performer. He works so hard during this song and I love that he's out of breath at some points. When you watch him, you watch one of the hardest working people in show business.
Usher intros "'Somebody to Love' featuring Usher." He says it exactly like that — twice. Usher used third person. My affection for Usher just went up two notches. Perhaps he has just as much fun saying his name as I do.
And am I the only one creeped out by the woman caressing Justin Bieber? He's 14, right?
Judges' Final Critiques:
Melinda — She would need to bring more fire if she remained on the show.
Christina — She brought the fire but not the steps. However, she was the only one of the three who seemed like she was dancing for her life.
Alexie — She must learn to dance to the extent of her movements. She's a little juvenile in her dance style and must find her maturity.
And the performer going home is...
Everyone looks heartbroken (including me). Adam reassures Alexie that she is very "hire-able" and absolutely beautiful. Kent is sobbing. Boo, judges! You made Kent cry.
So, what did you think? Are you disappointed that we've lost Alexie so soon? Which dancers are you banking on making the top three later this season? Discuss below and I'll see you next time.
Billy Bell
Kent Boyd
Lauren Froderman
Ashley Galvan

North louisiana programs
- 0Jan 8, '13 by msgriffithI'm currently in my second semester at bpcc. Still getting my basics, but I'm trying figure out where I want finish. I've heard bpcc program is great and would love to finish but I've heard so many apply and not enough spots. I know nsu Shreveport more credits with them better chances but school cost more and with 5 kids I need keep cost down. I've also been told good things about panola college in Carthage, tx I don't mind the drive. Any input would be nice. Also, is it true certain hospitals hire according to where you attend school?
- 0Jan 8, '13 by Danielle318Have you considered Grambling or Tech?
- 0Jan 8, '13 by msgriffithNo, I did not know Tech had a nursing program.
- 0Jan 10, '13 by ~passionateSN~I am starting third level at Panola and I went to bpcc for my Pre req classes and transferred. I did not want to go to clinicals in la because the entrance exams are harder than in Texas. I applied to Panola and Kilgore but chose Panola and I love it there! I graduate this December yay. You should look into it! The Texas curriculum is a little different but I started out knowing I was applying in Texas.
- 0Jan 21, '13 by Danielle318Yes but Tech has a 2 year RN program. I've heard that it's VERY hard to get into the professional component of the program considering that only take around 30 people, require recommendation letters & you also have to score pretty well on their pre admissions test. They require more than Grambling & Grambling offers a BSN

Chicago teen who performed at inaugural gunned down
The details of Hadiya Pendleton's death in Chicago gave fuel to gun-control advocates in the running debate over firearms.
Seattle Times news services
CHICAGO — A 15-year-old girl who had performed in President Obama's inauguration festivities is the latest face of the increasing homicide toll in Obama's hometown, slain in a Chicago park by a gunman who apparently was not aiming at her.
Chicago police said Hadiya Pendleton was talking with friends in a park about a mile from Obama's home in a South Side neighborhood Tuesday afternoon when a man fired on the group. Pendleton was shot in the back as she tried to run away.
The Obama administration said it was a "terrible tragedy" any time a young person is struck down "with so much of their life ahead of them."
"The president and first lady's thoughts and prayers are with the family of Hadiya Pendleton," administration spokesman Jay Carney said. "All of our thoughts and prayers are with her family."
He added that while "we may not be able to prevent every act of gun violence ... we need to take action to reduce gun violence" and "make sure that we're doing everything we can in a responsible way to reduce this violence, to protect our children, including Hadiya Pendleton and others."
The details of her death also gave fuel to gun-control advocates in the running debate over firearms. The story traveled back to Washington on Wednesday, where Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., mentioned Pendleton during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about gun violence.
He noted that Pendleton, a majorette, had marched in the inaugural parade last week. "It was the highlight of her young life," he said.
"Just a matter of days after the happiest day of her life, she's gone," Durbin said.
The city's 42nd slaying is part of Chicago's bloodiest January in more than a decade, coming after 2012, which ended with more than 500 homicides for the first time since 2008. It also comes as Obama, spurred by the Connecticut elementary-school massacre in December, is pushing for tougher gun laws.
Hadiya's father, Nathaniel Pendleton, spoke Wednesday at a police news conference, which was held in the same park where his daughter died.
"He took the light of my life," Pendleton said. He then spoke to the killer: "Look at yourself, just know that you took a bright person, an innocent person, a nonviolent person." Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy consoled him, the girl's mother and 10-year-old brother.
Hadiya Pendleton was a bright kid who was killed just as she was "wondering about which lofty goal she wanted to achieve," said her godfather, Damon Stewart. She had been a majorette with the King College Prep band.
"She was a very active kid, doing dance, cheerleading, who felt like she could accomplish just about anything, a very good student who had big dreams about what she wanted to be, a doctor, an attorney," said Stewart, a Chicago police officer and attorney. "She was constantly getting good grades."
When students filled the halls of King College Prep on Wednesday, there was a sea of purple and red, purple because it was Pendleton's favorite color and red because of Pendleton's violent death.
"You don't think at 2 in the afternoon at a park you're going to lose the one you love and care about," said Klyn Jones, a friend who was with Pendleton at the park.
On Tuesday, Pendleton and about 12 friends were at a park on the city's South Side, not far from the University of Chicago campus. When it started to rain, they all took shelter under a canopy. Jones said she looked up from her phone and saw a man jumping a fence.
He ran toward the group and started shooting, then jumped into a vehicle, which drove away, according to the police.
"It is believed that the offender mistook the group for gang members and fired at them," said Joshua Purkiss, an officer with the Chicago Police Department. In Chicago, gangs routinely and often indiscriminately open fire.
Another boy was shot once in the leg but is in good condition. A third victim had a graze wound.
Jones said a friend cradled Pendleton's head in her lap as they waited for the ambulance. Jones held her hand. They thought she would pull through.
Pendleton's death also came up at a news conference by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Emanuel called her "what is best in our city" and urged anyone with information about the slaying to come forward.
"If anybody has any information, you are not a snitch, you're a citizen," the mayor said. "You're a good citizen in good standing if you help."

Muslim Pop Star Yuna On The Rise In America
Award-winning singer Yuna is already a star in her native Malaysia, where she has been on the rise since her debut in 2008. She's also an observant Muslim and an entrepreneur. Yuna runs a fashion boutique that sells funky but modest clothes that meet the requirements of her faith. And while she's climbing the American charts with her new album Nocturnal, she's not compromising her style or her religion. "I'm a Muslim. I don't try to hide it," Yuna says. "I'm also a girl who loves music."
Yuna spoke with Tell Me More host Michel Martin about her music, her heritage, and her faith.
Interview Highlights
Life as a Muslim "pop star"
When I first started playing music, I was already covered ... wearing headscarves. And like normally, people would expect you to change, toss this part of your life away so that you could be like a pop star. But I just like wanted to make music, not really be a "pop star" pop star. And there's always like people who wouldn't necessarily agree with what I'm doing right now. But you know...I'm really happy with where I am right now, you know, I'm a Muslim. I don't try to hide it. I'm also a girl who loves music. And I don't try to hide that as well.
Risky reach to U.S.
I was doing quite well in Malaysia ... everyone was like so excited about my music, and they started accepting me as an artist. And coming out here was like taking a risk. But it's something that I really wanted to do for a very long time. Like I need to do something with my English music. ... Coming out here kind of like enabled me to experiment with a lot of different music, and I really wanted to come up with music that the whole world could relate to.
Writing songs in English instead of Malay
I kind of like always struggled writing in Malay, because Malay is such a beautiful language. And it gets really hard, you know, if you want to make it into a song. It's kind of tricky. You have to make it sound beautiful, use the right words. And with English, you can be direct, like writing a letter to someone.
Stay true to yourself: the message behind her song "Lights and Camera"
Being in the spotlight, you know, you tend to kind of like forget who you are. And being an artist ... it could be like a very superficial job. It could be very pretentious as well. People just kind of like see the surface of it, and not really getting into like who this person really is. And you know, they don't know what's going on with this person. As that person, sometimes you kind of like lose track of who you are. And usually everything is moving so fast, and you know, you kind of get lost in everything. So I just wanted to write like a strong song about, you know, knowing who you are, and being yourself no matter what.

I have been to Racines twice for brunch and both times were A-OK. There is nothing wrong with the restaurant, the service is good, the drinks are good, and the food is good, but it's nothing...
Dinner-wise, I am unimpressed. The options are typical, the service...well, typical and the environment is very large and packed. They do have a parking garage right next door which is pretty...
Three words: Nutty cheese salad. Yummy yum yum.This is a fine place to go to meet a group of friends and hang out, especially large groups. It's kinda cavernous and quite loud, so I wouldn't...
As Yelp says, 'Meh. I've experienced better.'Everything here is just okay. There's nothing wrong with Racine's. There are just too many other places I'd rather visit again. It's a local version...

A major Rangers fans group says it will take part in the club's upcoming £4million share issue.
The Rangers Supporters Trust says it does not want to see it's current 0.86 per cent stake in the club diluted when the open offer closes on September 12.
The crisis-hit Ibrox outfit have warned that should existing shareholders not take up the 19.8million new shares being put up for sale then the "future of the company will be uncertain".
It comes after season-ticket sales dropped to 23,000 - down from 38,000 last season.
But now the RST has followed rival supporter group Rangers First by announcing it will take part in the share offer.
In a statement, the group said: "As shareholders in Rangers International Football Club (RIFC) we have decided unanimously to partake in the upcoming open offer. This will be carried out using funds from our BuyRangers fan ownership scheme.
"Whilst we still have deep concerns about the current situation at the club, as a board we believe that given fan ownership is the raison d'etre of the organisation it is in our members interest to participate in the open offer to maintain our current shareholding.
"In order for the RST to continue its primary objective, we urge as many fellow Rangers fans to join and contribute to our BuyRangers scheme from as little as B£11.25 per month at www.therst.co.uk/buyrangers."
Meanwhile, club director Sandy Easdale claims former Rangers chief executive Charles Green has already sold the naming rights to Ibrox.
Easdale claims Green struck a deal with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, who is listed on the Rangers plc website as owning 4.56 per cent of shares.
In an interview with the Daily Record, Easdale would not reveal how much the deal was worth for confidentiality reasons. But the newspaper claimed the deal was struck for £1 with Rangers then spending £250,000 on legal fees in a failed bid to get the contract torn up.
Easdale said: "Let's clear this up, the Sports Direct Arena. Charles Green had already done a deal with Mike on that. Sports Direct haven't taken it up as yet. Mike Ashley could call it the Sports Direct Arena tomorrow."
Green revealed in an interview with STV in March 2013 that he was close to agreeing a deal with Sports Direct but he left his role as chief executive six weeks later and no agreement was ever announced.
Ashley has been asked to back the share issue that was announced last week but his ownership of Newcastle is creating a problem.
And Easdale believes his extra involvement would be beneficial to the club as they bid to stave off a cash crisis.
Easdale said: "I'm pro Mike Ashley to the extent he is probably the guy who can help us at this moment in time.
"His plan was to increase his shareholding but he's come across a stumbling block with the SFA. It's up to him now to sort that out. But if he was allowed to increase his shareholding then who wouldn't want a billionaire investing in their club?"
Bus firm owner Easdale said he was not opposed to working with former oldco Rangers director Dave King, who said he is willing to invest B£30million in the club under the right conditions, but said that the South Africa-based businessman had never made them an offer.

OK Go feat. The Muppets – "The Muppet Show Theme Song"
The coolest – or is it creepiest? – part of the video is when the band goes in for an awesome guitar solo, and we pan down to reveal that they're just puppets being controlled by The Muppets. This is like a nightmare I once had after too many viewings of Muppets From Space. Looks like both the band and the Jim Henson troupe feel the same way.
