College Positive Program
Welcome to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth College Positive Program
The College Positive Program at UMass Dartmouth is dedicated to helping local youth achieve the dream of a college education by assisting and advising students on the college-bound path. Our efforts are aimed at increasing college enrollment and success for all students by providing them with support and information about college preparation, paying for college, etc. UMass Dartmouth College Positive students volunteer as a part of a service program, representing higher education as they expose youths to college options, resources, and materials to be successful in college exploration.
Over the years, our program has achieved this goal through various means on and off campus. Our activities have ranged from providing college tours for middle school children to serving as assistants in guidance offices at local high schools. Workshops are held on Tuesdays or Thursdays at Durfee High School by UMass Dartmouth student advisors to closely guide the students through the college application process. During the 2012-2013 academic year, in addition to the workshops at Durfee, we hosted college tours, during the Spring semester, for the entire freshman class at New Bedford High School to expose them to the various aspects of college life, including visits to the dorms, the campus center, classrooms, and the Grand Reading Room.
The goal of College Positive is to help youth see college as an attainable option, and provide understanding of the process to get there.
Get Involved
The College Positive Program employs students who receive a Federal Work Study award or who would like to volunteer. Students must have sophomore standing or higher with strong academic skills and an interest in helping youths.
College Positive student advisors are responsible for attending mandatory training sessions and all workshops held at Durfee High School. College Positive tour guides must be comfortable speaking in front of a group of 10-15 students.

Romney: 8.3 Percent Jobless Rate 'Hammer Blow' To Middle-Class Families
President Barack Obama got new figures Friday to buttress his argument that he's presiding over steady, if slow, economic growth. But the government's report that the overall rate of unemployment actually crept up to 8.3 percent allows Republican rival Mitt Romney to keep pressure on Obama to defend his record.

Home Kent Business County News Article
Southeastern has apologised after a spate of cancelled services to and from the Island.
Trains have not been able to run a number of times in the last few weeks due to staff being unavailable.
The most recent one to be affected was the 10.19am from Sheerness to Sittingbourne last Friday.
A spokesman for Southeastern said most of the time if there are problems with trains,
it is because of issues with infrastructure such as signalling or power supply and more recently it has been due to weather conditions.
These are all down to Network Rail, but if there is a broken down train or problem with staffing, it is a Southeastern issue.
The spokesman said any staff who do not turn up without warning are subject to the company's internal disciplinary procedures.
He said: "We are sorry to all customers whose trains are delayed and cancelled."
"If the delay to their journeys is more than 30 minutes, then compensation is due."

Review of chapter "Chapter 2" from
Dude, this is going to be the end of the world. Hah, for each ork you kill you get a thousand more. By now it's already impossible to stop the infestation. Pretty soon the Orks will be anihilating the entire demon population, and slaughtering soldiers. You do realize that at a low estimate in terms of power, the lasgun releases at least 2 to 3 megajoules. To compare, a combat shotgun delivers 700 kilojoules at point blank. Shotguns are known for the massive amount of energy they release. Plus lasguns have penetrating power. Lasguns are nicknamed flashlights in 40k. This is going to be a moment where the military is screaming "OH GOD, OUR BULLETS DO NOTHING." Hell, the average sword does nothing. There is a reason why Space Marines use power swords, because even with their crazy insane strength, it's just not enough. Yeah...you are crazy. Hell Orks screw the laws of reality to create and use any kind of tech they get their hands on. Good luck trying to steal Ork guns...because they run on nonsensolium (belief). Half the time they don't even have a firing mechanism, just a trigger, barrel, and magazine.
You sir, are an evil bastard. But an awesome one. If you pull out the stops, the Scoobies can put up a pretty good fight for a tiny little planet, but the only way I can see this going is the Orks defeating the combined defenses of Earth and Demonkind and slaughtering everyone. Of course, you could always have Wolfram and Hart bring in demonic armies from other dimensions, possibly have your main characters flee to another world/dimension. That would be entertaining, but really the best the Scoobies can hope for is to escape or make a heroic last stand.

Review of chapter "Chapter 2" from
Are you expecting me to believe a slayer of all things could kill an Ork? Sorry but I simply can't believe such a thing. Orks kill Space marines, Eldar, Tau, Tyranids and yet here you have an Ork fall to a slayer and worst of all Buffy of all people. If Buffy ends up defeating the Ork menace via witch powers from Willow; I apologize in advance but I will flame this story like no tomorrow.
Comments from author:
Think about it this way, what did the ork survive? Pike wielded by someone who can pick up and throw a car (if they can find the balance) being smacked into the side of the head and neck halfway through where our spinal cord is, A large axe in the other side of the face again halfway through its head. A wooden stake 8 inches long shoved through its forehead and deep into its brain. Right arm cut off, a sword thrown into its throat where the adam's apple on us would be. The pike shoved into its stomach deeply then torn upwards through the sternum and ribs and out again. Hamstringed. A sword tearing deep through its belly from side to side. A knife slash in its left arm on the wrist cutting through where our nerves controlling the hand are. The axe doing a scythe-on-Caleb in the opposite direction cutting the head in half down the middle and being stuck in the neck, haft sticking out, as the killing blow and for the next 10 seconds continuing to try and kill her. Then think about her damage- loads of cracks ribs, broken shoulderblade and pelvis from being smacked on floor. Head smashed by a punch so concussion, cranial damage and jaw and skull fracture, arms and legs bashed bruised and cut beyond anything she's met and loads of other assorted injuries. The way i've done it, about the only thing worse a slayers had to fight hand to hand is The Beast from Ats Season 4. And sorry but I don't think a single young Kommando Ork is on the same scale as The Beast... All the BtVS Big Bads have either taken less effort or been taken out by magic or explosives.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from
I'm not sure how to react to this chapter.
Orks are extremely pernicious by WH40k standards (which are exceedingly high by everyone else's) and you've made their spores even more so. I think that Earth's time or rather humanity's is nigh.
I'll wait for the coming chapters but rendering judgement on this.

Friend, there is a category for Warhammer 40k on this website that you should have placed your story under -
. I want to see a massive Waaaaaagh that will shake the very ground and cause all the humans of Sunnydale to either evacuate Sunnydale or die. It will be awesome to read about the President of the US and news channels using Orks codexes bought from GW as intel to understand the Green Tide. GW having their Ork background info getting sold-out.
More Chapters! Faster Update!!!!
Comments from author:
Hellmouth has changed them, and I couldn't just give all their weaknesses to everyone unfortunately. So the 'Ork' on Halloween was the writer doing the Orks race for his mates to start making the 40kverse stuff in the Buffyverse timeline rather than gamesworkshop.

Oh boy Ethan and Xander really did it this time and now Buffy and co, without Xander, are going to have to deal with it.
Keep up the interesting work because I want to see how this FUBAR'd situation can get any worse (if that's even possible?).
But don't forget the disclaimer for this story.
Edit: Oh my, now that I reread it I now realize that it could've been anyone wearing that costume.
So that means that poor Xander is in for a horrible, crazy and fun (for us) ride.

Whoever said it was Xander? and Angel just assumes its a demon hes never seen, the scoobies dont even know yet...

The funny thing is, that when the mek boyz start popin out, the Orks willl be more technologically advanced that anyone on earth.
They just wont know how they are.
I just love Ork tech.
Comments from author:
i know, i'm gonna severly down-grade the number of meks and doks that pop out, they will come out but chances of being 1 are bout 1/1,000,000 instead of 1/100 or 1/1,000. Can't wait for Gargants to stomp down New Yorks main streets though, well funny :) But think, they wont have even a half of the materials used to build stuff in 40K, how will that effect everything?

Oh my! Now this was a nasty Helloween aftermath! I wonder how effective modern weapons will be against Orks? Great start, I hope there will be more.
Comments from author:
Think lasguns until you start getting to stronger ordinance, A Bolter is about the same deadliness as a modern tank shell, but with just a bit less concussive force to the shot. Remember how many bolter shots it takes to put an ork down? uh oh...

Whiskey Grade visits American Field Pop up Market in Boston
Whiskey Grade, being natives in the Boston, MA area, got a chance to check out the second year of the American Field Pop up Market. "American Field" is a gathering of USA Made fashion, apparel, footwear, and accessory brands in Downtown Boston for a two-day public pop up market.
The goal of American Field is two-fold; to not only raise awareness for these quality American brands, but also to inform consumers so that they can make educated decisions about how can spend their money to rebuild the American Economy. If every consumer spent just 5% more on USA made goods, it would create nearly 1,000,000 USA jobs and assist in the building of the US economy. The only way to achieve this goal is if we work together, a rising tide raises all the boats. The American Field market will show customers and the nation the people behind this new revolution in American Manufacturing and that by voting with their dollars they can have a direct impact on jobs in this country.
Special thanks to our photographer, Antony Ohman.

FBI releases data on police officer deaths on duty
According to information released by the FBI in late October, 56 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty last year; 72 officers died in accidents while performing their duties, and 53,469 officers were assaulted in the line of duty.
The 2010 edition of Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted provides comprehensive tabular data about these incidents and brief narratives describing the fatal attacks, according to the Tactical Wire.
The 56 felonious deaths occurred in 22 states and Puerto Rico. The number of officers feloniously killed in 2010 increased by eight compared with the 2009 figure of 48 officers, but continues the drop from the 2001 number 2001 involving 70 officers.
Fifty-four of the victim officers were male, and two were female. Forty-eight of the officers were white, seven were black, and one was Asian/Pacific Islander.
Of the 56 officers feloniously killed, 15 were ambushed; 14 of the slain officers were involved in arrest situations; eight were investigating suspicious persons/circumstances; seven were performing traffic stops/pursuits; six were answering disturbance calls; three were involved in tactical situations (e.g., high-risk entry); two were conducting investigative activity such as surveillance, searches, or interviews; and one officer was killed while transporting or maintaining custody of prisoners.
Offenders used firearms to kill 55 of the 56 victim officers. Of these 55 officers, 38 were slain with handguns, 15 with rifles, and two with shotguns. One officer was killed with a vehicle used as a weapon.
Regions: Twenty-two of the felonious deaths occurred in the South, 18 in the West, 10 in the Midwest, and three in the Northeast. Three of the deaths took place in Puerto Rico.
Law enforcement agencies identified 69 alleged assailants in connection with the 56 felonious line-of-duty deaths. Fifty-seven of the assailants had prior criminal arrests, and 19 of the offenders were under judicial supervision at the time of the felonious incidents.
Of the 72 law enforcement officers killed in accidents while performing their duties in 2010, the majority of them (45 officers) were killed in automobile accidents. The number of accidental line-of-duty deaths was up 24 from the 2009 total (48 officers).

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (241 votes).
In short: Would have been perfect without the extra half a mile!In full: This should have been a really good PB smashing course - flat, good scenery, brilliant Brighton crowds, glorious sunshine and (relatively) little sea wind. But it was spoilt by one simple thing; the distance.I ran my legs off and completed the 13.1 half marathon distance in 1.43 (under 1.45 is a miracle for me), but my chip time was 1.46 as I had to do the extra .4 of a mile to the finish line.Running along the sea front in the sunshine was lovely, although I found it a little depressing to do what was essentially shuttle runs for 13 odd miles! I didn't notice that the baggage area was congested, but the goody bag was a complete waste of time. It had nothing except adverts in it! I just feel a little cheated by the distance because 1.46 doesn't sound anywhere near as good as 1.43! Still, apparently they measured the course too short last year, so next year will be perfect!Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: How the hell can you get the distance so wrong!? Left this beginner feeling really depressedIn full: This wasn't my first race but I was starting to wonder what had gone wrong when my garmin was consistently showing me to be .5 miles ahead of the mile markers. How could they get the distance so wrong. It also meant that my time was about 7 minutes longer than it should have been which can be pretty soul destroying for a beginner. As for the goodie bag - I would have expected Right-on Brighton of all places to be aware that handing out thousands of empty carrier bags that were just ending up in a bin was not the most environmentally friendly thing to do.Not impressed.Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: Worth running but shame course 13.5mIn full: I have run this race 3 times, in 2010 it was a shambles but 2011 race was pretty well organised. It was therefore somewhat of a surprise that 2012 was so poor. The start area was very crowded making it difficult to get to and from baggage area. The course in places was narrow and I had to deal with oncoming runners on a number of occasions. Cones were a hazard as were discarded water bottles. The extra distance was of course very unfortunate. Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: Would have been a good half marathon but it measured longIn full: Nice course but it measured long. Such a shame as I thought all other points on race organisation were brilliant.A couple of minor points, goodie bag was unnecessary - I was hoping for a recovery drink in the bag, as it didn't contain that I would have been happy with just the medal and banana. 99% of the volunteers were amazing but there was an awful woman policing the Lucozade. I stood near a large stack of cases of Lucozade so I could rest my cup of water on top while stretching my calves before attempting to hobble off for my sports massage. I am a grown woman, I don't appreciate being scolded like a school girl for standing "too near" the precious Lucozade and apparently "encouraging people to steal it" OR having my water thrown away! I appreciate that volunteers have a stressful job to do and give up their own time to do it but please, try to at least be polite to the people who have paid to enter the event! Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: A 13.5 mile "half marathon" is extremely annoying.In full: This course has great potential for personal bests - if only they could be bothered to measure the course distance properly. This was about 600m too long and the times are therefore useless to people trying to achieve their best.Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: Lovely day - but over long, pacers way out of time, and why do we need an empty plastic bag...? In full: I like Brighton half - I've done it the past 4 years, and this year the weather was beautiful - absolutely perfect sunshine, with a cool breeze. Great supporters most of the way around, and the volunteer helpers are always great - big thanks to them! There were a few issues this year 1. definitely measured the course wrong - it was too long - not really a problem for me, as I don't time myself that much (I'm too slow to bother really!!), but understandably annoying for some. 2. I really like the medal here, but why oh why do we need an empty plastic bag? Well, not completely empty - mine came with one bit of paper offering 5 issues of Men's Running for £5 - but I'm a women, so what a waste of paper. 3. Information tent had an issue with getting numbers out to runners - quite a lot of numbers (inc my partners) hadn't arrived through the post - no idea why, but it meant that there was a huge queue of people trying to collect before the race started (you couldn't collect on saturday for some reason) - only two people in the tent to help out - and a real problem with blocking the pavements badly and meant some people started late4. A personal point was that I ran for the official charity - but despite lots of Brighton supporters all the way around the course, I didn't see any of the official charity supporters! And although there were tents for a number of charities, I didn't see any for the official charity! Boo. If they were there at all, as the "official charity peeps" it'd be nice if they were somewhere they could be seen - I'd have killed for a cup of tea and a biscuit at the end! But, all in all, despite this years niggles, I'll be back next year...and hoping the weather is as good again... :)Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: Perfect conditions, great crowd - measured longIn full: I usually ignore comments on over-distance racing as garmins aren't to be trusted versus course measurements, but I took manual splits at the designated mile markers and they were all pretty much spot on 1 mile APART from mile 4 (0.88) and mile 5 (1.46), which I remember runners around me commenting on as we waited and waited for the mile 5 marker. So yes, U turn cones presumably placed wrongly.Other than that - a beautiful day brought out much better crowds than normal - so a great atmosphere and I do like the course.Didn't mind lack of goodies at all, but yes, the plastic bag itself was completely unnecessary.Appreciated the few stalls that have started springing up now, and the new cafe at the volleyball park near the finish line is a great extra this year (though nothing to do with the organisers!).Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: Distance inaccurate, support very weakIn full: This is my 5th brighton half and i was very disappointed. The actual distance was closer to 13.5. There was very little support, no music, and the goodie bags had just a piece of paper in them which seemed like a waste! Weather was fab and scenary beautiful though! Though why Katie price got a parking space at the start line i dont know! Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: a 13.5 mile half marathon...Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: Stressful at the start trying to get through all the crowds to drop your luggage off, but v quick once at that point. Pacers were not good, could not find the 2.15 person at start line so positioned myself in-between the 2h and 2h30 In full: First ever half marathon, great location, great atmosphere, great weather, great route however was spoilt for me for the following reasons:-Stressful dropping off luggage - had to walk all the way through crowded areas to the luggage drop literally had 10 mins spare after that - not a great way to startFirst half marathon, looking for a 2h20 so wanted to go with the 2h15 pacer, couldn't find her at start she was not there at the gun, the 2h and 2.30 was there. Spent first 4 miles with my head looking behind me every few minutes, and then at the u turn saw her as I was heading back, by about mile 7.5 she went passed me and I lost her at mile 9.5. Then at mile 11.5 the 2h30 guy jogged passed my at the last water stop passed hove, no one was around him, I could not believe it... he finished about 3 mins in front of me i.e. NOT in 2hours 30! ( it took us 5 mins to get to the line) are they paid to run - if so I am NOT impressedMy Garmin showed 13.5 miles - at 13.1 I was 2h19At one lucoazde station my bottle hadn't been opened ( yes I am a first timer and did not notice) so had to use my teeth to bit into it.I have only ever done a few small 10k runs, a local race, the Ricky Road Run that is very well organised, a Hellrunner and SOTF so some big events - In summary crowd were great, route, weather just spoilt by the aboveWe all deserve an official statementDate of review: February 20, 2012

Shaquille O'Neal is one busy retiree.
Since ending his pro-basketball career a couple of years ago, O'Neal, 41, hasn't exactly been on the sidelines. He's doing productive things, like surfing the Internet and looking at dumb people doing dumb things.
"Some are really funny," he said, "and some you wish you'd never seen in the first place."
The former is giving him a new career in TV. O'Neal is the star and producer of the new truTV Internet-clip show "Upload with Shaquille O'Neal," which follows a similar format as Comedy Central's "Tosh.0," with "Upload" mocking the latest comedy clips circulating around the web.
The show airs at 10:30 p.m. EDT Thursdays.
O'Neal and his staff pore over hours of clips for the show. Then he and comedians Gary Owen and Godfrey, who goes by the one name, poke fun at the funniest ones on "Upload."
O'Neal doesn't really mind his show's being compared to other video-clip shows on cable right now. "There are a lot of outrageous things out there," he said. "You can take the same clip and get a thousand different ways to look at it."
Fans also send him clips. A recent one that made him laugh was of a man trying to jump off a roof. "You see a lot of pleasant stuff, and you see a lot of unpleasant stuff," he said.
O'Neal occasionally tries to mimic what he's seen.
"I tried to climb a tree the other night, and I fell," he said.
Why did he do that?
"Because I wanted to climb a tree," he said.
Well, of course.
More highlights for the week of March 24-30:
-- "Phil Spector" (9 p.m., HBO). Starring Al Pacino and Helen Mirren, the film delves into the relationship of the music impresario and his attorney during his first trial for murder.

-- "Dancing with the Stars" (9 p.m., ABC). The first castoff does his/her walk of shame.
-- "The Neighbors" (8:30 p.m., ABC). Our national nightmare is over with the season finale of this crummy sitcom.
-- "General Hospital" (10 p.m., SoapNet). A 50-hour marathon marks the 50th anniversary of the soap opera.

You better want GOLD if you put this on. Metallic, a mix of fine and large flecks of gold. Cream dries fast, and stays put. Outlasted everything on my face, 14 hour shift plus drinks afterwards. Applied with fingertips makes it more suttle, a brush and primer makes it WOW. Needs better packaging. A tube would be better.

This color is not for the faint of heart. It is intense!
If you want an eyeshadow that will give you a dramatic look, than this is for you.
The creamy consistency allows the product to flow nicely along the eyelid. I recommend that you use eyeshadow primer before using this eyeshadow. It makes a good eyeliner too.
Overall, the eyeshadow it great, but the color is so intense I find that I don't use it very often. But that is not the product's fault, just my taste.

For me, Gold Rush and Silver Strike are the most beautiful color tattoos. I bought Gold Rush before reading any reviews or popular blog sites because the color was so different from gold eyeshadows I already have. I have zero problems with this looking patchy, having fallout or anything negative stated by some reviewers and a certain famous blogger. Cream products need fingers to melt them properly and then need to be applied in layers with fingers. It is an even smoother application over primer.This eyeshadow makes dark eyes look hypnotic (I have reddish chestnut brown eyes). My eyes look like melting chocolate with Gold Rush on. I pair it with either the matte black from Naked Basics or Loreal's Eternal Black, and keep the rest of my makeup neutral. Will buy again as long as it stays on the market.

I love the other Color Tattoo's I have (Bad to the Bronze, Audacious Asphault, the matte pink neutral one fromt the 2013 holiday collection), but this one in texture & color was an epic fail for me. Don't judge this line by this shade please.

I had to post about this since I had such a disappointing experience today with one of the Metal Color Tattoos called Gold Rush. I had an absolutely terrible time with it. I used a really good cream eyeshadow brush to try to apply it, and it was splotchy and skippy all over the place.
It wasn't smooth, there were holes in the layer of shadow on my lid. I tried to apply it twice with the brush and finally had to give up. Then, I tried using my finger. That didn't work either. It just didn't flow. I ended up having to return it.
When i tried taking it off it left a glittery stain all over my eyelids and the sides of my eyes. It certainly lives up to its namesake "tattoo": the stuff doesn't want to come off.
I think I'm being quite generous by giving this two lippies. The color was alright but the consistency was terrible.
This has really put me off of trying other Color Tattoo colors, even the nude collection.
I see that the regular line of Color Tattoos have gotten pretty good reviews. But maybe the metals are a little bit off.

Loved the color and initial look, but the glitter fall-out was insane (unlike the other colors I have: Bad to the Bronze, Bold Gold, Inked in Pink, and Audacious Asphalt--those wear just fine in regard to fall-out).

Ok so I'm a huge fan of using gold eyeshadow on my inner eye and as an eyeliner, eyebrow highlight, cat eye flick, etc. I use gold shadow for Everything. My HG has been, oddly enough, Victoria Secret in 24 Carat silk powder shadow. That stuff is killer! However it recently broke and crumbled in the pan after Constant everyday use and i really wanted to try a creamy texture next, though I will be re-purchasing my HG for my collection. I was at Walmart and figured I'd give this one a shot. I wasn't' too nervous of the yellow tones as that is how my 24 looks.
This stuff is Awesome! The creamy texture really blends in easily. I stick a finger in it and swirl it a bit and then lightly tap it onto my inner eye. It's a beautiful shade and the glitter is really eye opening for it. My eyes honestly glow when I put either gold shadow on it. The best part about this one though? It stays on ALL day long. I work 11-9 and when I get home to take my makeup off and my eyes are always the exact same as when I applied it. In fact this stuff hardly comes off when I wash my face. It's the last thing that will come off at night, indeed I sometimes wake up with this stuff in the corners of my eyes in the morning.

At first I didn't like this product. I had to learn to apply a little at a time. This color rocks! It enhances other shades if you use as a base and totally rocks on its own. The color is bold but can be subtle; build a little at a time.

A true yellow gold cream that is heavy on the pigment, and has orange flecks of glitter throughout. This is the excessive sister of Chanel's Vision Illusion D'ombre which is a golden glittersheen. Both very lovely to have in my collection, and quite different from eachother.
I like to use this as an extremely sheer base for when I do gold looks with eyeliner, or bronzed, warm, orange, looks. I did receive this for free from a friend, however I am not sure if I would purchase it on my own. The staying power is pretty decent.
Something to note, this cream shadow seems to get harder faster than any of my other MAC paintpots OR Maybelline Color Tattoos. Not sure what it is.

Gorgeous bright gold with glittery golden flecks that I was super excited to add to my collection. It's very pigmented and has a creamy texture, but like another reviewer mention the glitter fallout is pretty insane. I've used an eyeshadow primer and tried setting this cream shadow with powdered eyeshadow, but it doesn't stop the constant all day long glitter dispersion. This is a toss and definitely not a recommend or repurchase.

Tiger Woods Gets Mad At Reporter [VIDEO]
The 5 Things I Hate Most In Sports
It's Valentine's Day; a day of flowers, chocolate and romance. Heart doilies are draped across office cubicles, and everywhere you go you're flooded with theme of love. Its cute, but it's a bit much. So, in order to break up the momentous theme of the day, here are the 5 things I HATE most about sports right now:
5. The Peyton Manning speculation - Miami? Washington? What about the Raiders? If this baseless "coverage" of Peyton's off-season drags on for the next few months, which it will, it will be miles worse than anything Brett Farve ever put us through. There is literally no new information on where Peyton is going to wind up, and there won't be until at least mid-March, so can we please, as a nation, stop talking about it.
4. The fact that T.O. was voted one of the 10 most hated athletes - He didn't even play this season. He's virtually retired. If you hate him so much and want him to fade away, then stop bringing him up all the damn time.
3. Linsanity – Sike! I love this guy. Lin-Tin-Tin, this dude is my dawg!

After claiming earlier this week that Tiger Woods would have to play his way onto the 12-man roster for the Presidents Cup, team captain Fred Couples has decided to use a Captain's Pick on Tiger anyways. Couples took the drama out of the debate over whether Woods would be on the team, saying Thursday it's already a done deal.

Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not crazy about Coulter; Hannity even less. However, Coulter's books are worth a read--very provocative (and fully footnoted). I think Hannity is a whiner. |
she has a good grasp of reality Nah. Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while. |
She knows which end is up other than that shes an insulting hag! |

Her "scholarship" (ie "fully footnoted") has been often and substantially excoriated for misquoting, misleading and generally making meatballs out of source materials. Sure, fun reads for those loving a good whipping on Liberals. |
She has learned to make a very good living being a mouthpiece for those looking for misinformation. Good for her if you consider her opinions entertainment, but certainly not to be taken as the truth. |
They should run off together... |
I will give Coulter credit for being about the only Republican to state--forthrightly, no weaseling around or whining or making excuses--that the REPUBLICANS LOST! Period. She isn't whining how they lost unfairly because Obama bribed certain groups to vote for him or because ACORN fraudulently registered Mickey Mouse who then voted for Obama or any of that kind of junk that other Republicans have been tossing around. I saw the clip where Coulter refused to rant about Obama plan to tax the rich, etc. We lost, she said. He won, he gets to do it his way. And that was it! Hannity didn't know how to respond to that--he was obviously expecting Coulter to carry on and rip Obama to pieces. All she said was, "we lost." I can think of nothing else about the woman I would approve of--but that blunt, short sentence--we lost--and her refusal to lament, scream, moan, carry on earned my respect--for that moment. I assume she will continue to outrage me as usual in the future, however. Kate |

I was scammed once too. Someone had offered me a pirate magic pin (I wanted to combine mine with another to make it last longer), and I bought them tons of stuff. After the trade, I combined my magic pin with the pin I got from the trade. Then the person I got the pin with demanded that I give him back the pin because of some thing or another. I told him that I couldn't because you can't undo combinations, and then he told me that he would report me. I felt very threatened by him, and hate when people do this.
Oh, sorry, I thought this was being posted on another thread. Sorry!
I thought you can't trade those pirate magic pins, could you at one time?

Chronic Logic dropped me a line, mentioning they'd just released a major update for their strategy game, Kingdom Elemental: Tactics, improving the interface, revamping skirmish, new challenge levels, user-created stuff and lots of exciting sounding improvements. Or rather, they would be, if we knew anything about the game, but we've never played it. There's only two ways to solve that. One: find a player, excise their brain with scalpels and merge it with your own with brain-glue. Two:
Levels are set in small linear arenas. You have a limited amount of gold to buy your heroes from a selection of 10 – 4 in the demo. So, depending on what you're facing, you may alter your build, leaning one way or the other. You fight. You win. The Tower Defence element comes in because you get waves of enemies coming in, meaning that you're trying to build a slightly persistent defence which interacts. Well… I did say a splash. The progression between the levels – as in, groups of waves – is where it gets more interesting. You get unlock points which you can either use to make a new character type accessible or unlock an ability in a pre-existing character. So, you can choose to gain access to Necromancers, or make your already-existing archers more vicious by giving them a fire-arrow special ability, or boosting their attack rate or whatever. Since their cost remains the same no matter how upgraded they are, there's an obvious tactical situation to weigh up.
It's quite fun, from the little of the easy campaign the demo lets you play. The one thing to mention is that it does have a slightly tongue in cheek attitude to everything. Think Overlord. As in, the garrulous tutorial voice-over being openly sarcastic and the IT WAS A TIME OF WAR wizard voice breaking into complaints about the conventions of the genre and all that. And it's… well, half the time it's fun and the other half the time it's painful. Voice-over and comedy are both tricky things to pull off, even if you have an enormous budget, and it regularly stumbles. It's worse in the demo than the full game, I suspect, because the action is interrupted by the former narrator telling you that he wouldn't be interupting to annoy you if this was the full version. What is this? Spotify?
You can download the demo from here. The full version costs $19.95 from here.

NEW YORK–While same-store sales at the major U.S. retail chains were mostly up in December, not all of the stores enjoyed a healthy holiday season.
Some of the retailers admitted that their gains were below expectations. Target's 1.6 percent increase did not meet the company's projections for December, according to Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and CEO, who added that sales were soft in gift categories such as electronics, music, movies and books. Kevin Mansell, chairman, president and CEO of Kohl's, said the department store's 0.1 percent same-store drop, which he attributed to sluggish sales in cold-weather product categories, was "short of our expectations, although much improved over November's results (down 6.2 percent)."
On the brighter side, TJX's retail chains finished December with an 8 percent comp-store gain, "significantly" ahead of its expectations, said CEO Carol Meyrowitz. Macy's 6.2 percent increase puts the company "solidly on track to exceed our expectations for same-store sales in the fourth quarter," said Terry Lundgren, chairman, president and CEO.
Looking at the other chains, Pier 1 Imports reported a huge 11.3 percent increase for December, driven by higher traffic and average ticket. Costco's U.S. comparable-store sales rose 6 percent, factoring out gasoline sales, and 7 percent including gas. Dillard's December saw a 4 percent gain in same-store sales, while J.C. Penney's comp-store number edged up 0.3 percent.
In a note focusing on December at U.S. retail, Brad Thomas, analyst with Keybanc Capital Markets, said the home furnishings, furniture, home improvement, rent-to-own and pets categories outperformed other product sectors. There was improvement also in consumers' willingness and ability to spend as non-farm payrolls increased, Thomas said.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Human Capital, Returning Migration And Rural Entrepreneurship In China
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper provides a study of internal rural urban migration and returning migration in China. Since the economy reform in the early 1980s, about 130 million of rural residents move to metropolitan area either temporarily or permanently - known as the "Floating population". Migrant workers have powered China's economic success by providing cheap labor for the country's rapidly growing infrastructure and dominant low-priced exports. The incomes they bring home have helped spread prosperity from the booming cities into the relatively poor countryside. In this paper, the author formulates a model that is both descriptive and analytical with respect to the mechanism through which rural agents' occupational choices are made, which further determines the form and length of migration.

Hi, firstly Im very sorry everyone is hurting so much, big hugs to you all
my friend recently died. I was with her during her last
Her husband and boys are left to carry on somehow without
unfortunately I live states away from them. also although
How could I best help them? Id really like to do more for them
thankyou |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you could write about your friend, telling what made her special and also describing specific experiences the two of you shared, this is something her family could keep and treasure, particularly her sons. When they get older they'll want to know more about her, beyond her role as mother. You could also offer to be available via email if they want to talk. Good of you to want to help. Susan |

thankyou how much contact do people find beneficial? is it helpful to be sent a little supportive message every now and then? or is it intrusive if its not from a family member. anyone's thoughts? I guess everyone is different.. |
- Posted by carolswfl_2007 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 6, 07 at 8:37
Keeping in touch with the grieving family is important. You don't need to be a family member to do this. Friends are a great source of comfort. I think that sometimes they are a better source as the other family members are struggling with their grieving, too. I hope I made sense. Carol |
- Posted by mav63_2007 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 6, 07 at 17:14
I agree with Carol. When you are grieving support from everyone is appreciated, you cannot get too much. Do you have any photos of your friend that maybe her family haven't seen? I'm sure if you copied them and sent them they would appreciate it. I did that for a friend of mine who lost her husband when her children were little but I didn't think about it until they were grown and they loved them especially the ones I had of them as babies with their father. Do everything you can for the family, I'm sure it will be welcome. |

Welcome to the Department of Women's and Gender Studies!
One of the most vibrant areas of intellectual inquiry, women's and gender studies explores why gender matters in the pursuit of knowledge and social justice.
The Department of Women's and Gender Studies offers a major, a minor, and a 15-hour certificate in women's studies. Students often choose to double major in women's studies and another area, such as social work or public relations. The interdisciplinary women's and gender studies program blends a solid liberal arts foundation with courses about the experiences, roles, achievements, and issues impacting women. Helping to shed light and further understanding on issues specific to women in these complicated and ever-changing times is both a meaningful and popular endeavor.
All women's and gender studies faculty members hold doctorate degrees and teach every class; we do not use teaching assistants. While teaching is their top priority, faculty are involved in research and publish their findings through numerous books, articles, and conference papers.
Hands-on Learning
Students in women's and gender studies apply their knowledge through internships on a part-time basis during the academic year or during the summer. In recent years, our students have interned at such organizations as:
- Equal Employment Opportunities Commission
- National Organization for Women
- People Against Domestic Abuse
- Planned Parenthood
- Women and Poverty Initiative
- YWCA Alternatives of Janesville
Student Organizations
Students serve as coordinators and volunteers in the Warhawk Involvement Center and have the opportunity to make presentations about various issues affecting women, such as nutrition and fitness, assertiveness, and international women's concerns. Students involved with the Center can help organize speakers and events about topical issues. Women's and Gender Studies students also participate with the Residence Hall Association, organizing diversity activities such as "Boxes and Walls" and the "Take Back the Night" event, which addresses women's safety issues.
Additionally, the UW-W Wellness Center & the Sexual Assault Prevention Advisory Committee is in the process of creating a new organization that seeks to raise awareness about sexual assault, stalking, harassment and dating violence.

It was a tough way to end the season for the Irvine Valley baseball team on Thursday.
The Lasers had their chances to earn a win in the regular season finale at home, but Golden West scored the deciding run in the top of the ninth inning and came away with a 2-1 Orange Empire Conference victory.
The loss dropped Irvine Valley's record to 18-18 overall and 8-13 in conference.
Irvine Valley finished tied for fifth in the conference standings with Fullerton.
But the Southern California Regional Playoffs are a real longshot for Irvine Valley.
Fullerton won the season series over IVC, placing the Lasers sixth in the order of teams from the conference.
Santa Ana, Orange Coast, Riverside and Cypress are the teams likely to advance. IVC finished two games behind Cypress in the standings. Golden West played spoiler this week, knocking off Irvine Valley twice.
The Rustlers ended up 15-19 overall and 7-14 in conference after Thursday's win at Irvine Valley.
The Lasers hit into four double plays on the day, stranded seven baserunners and made three errors. Even in the ninth inning down, 2-1, freshman designated hitter Sean Guite hit a double to lead off the frame. But Irvine Valley couldn't bring him home.
Irvine Valley starting pitcher Ryan Goodbrand did his part, going 7 1/3 innings and allowing just one run (unearned) on five hits with one walk and four strikeouts. Goodbrand wasn't involved in the decision.
IVC's Daniel Levine took the loss, allowing the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth inning. Pinch-runner Nicholas Lum scored from third base on a sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Tyler Rinker. IVC left fielder Cody Inglis made a sliding catch on the play and came up throwing toward home. His throw was online, but hit Lum in the back and deflected away.
Irvine Valley took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning off Golden West starting pitcher Race Parmenter, who is headed to UC Irvine next year.
With two outs, Guite singled up the middle and then scored on a RBI double by sophomore right fielder Drew Williams.
Golden West tied the game with a run in the top of the sixth on a double, walk and an error.
Irvine Valley had a great chance to go back on top in the bottom of the seventh, putting runners on first and second with no outs, but a failed sacrifice bunt and then a double play ended the threat.
For Irvine Valley at the plate, Williams was 2 for 3 with one RBI and Guite went 2 for 4 with a run scored.
Golden West was led by, John Baccari, who went 2 for 3 and Josh Tucker, who was 2 for 4.
Cody Green earned the win for the Rustlers (his first of the year), pitching three scoreless innings. He gave up just two hits and had two strikeouts.
The Lasers did have a standout defensive play in the top of the eighth inning. Freshman center fielder Bryce Hara caught a fly ball hit by Blake Cooper in left center and fired to freshman shortstop A.J. Cardenalli. He relayed home to sophomore catcher Anthony Almeida, who blocked the plate and applied the tag on Cody Weber, who was trying to tag up on the play.
But in the end it wasn't enough.
