Nanofibrillated Cellulose Surface Modification: A Review

Abstract: Interest in nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) has increased notably over recent decades. This bio-based nanomaterial has been used essentially in bionanocomposites or in paper thanks to its high mechanical reinforcement ability or barrier property respectively. Its nano-scale dimensions and its capacity to form a strong entangled nanoporous network have encouraged the emergence of new high-value applications. It is worth noting that chemical surface modification of this material can be a key factor to achieve a better compatibility with matrices. In order to increase the compatibility in different matrices or to add new functions, surface chemical modification of NFC appears to be the prior choice to conserve its intrinsic nanofibre properties. In this review, the authors have proposed for the first time an overview of all chemical grafting strategies used to date on nanofibrillated cellulose with focus on surface modification such as physical adsorption, molecular grafting or polymer grafting.

AKA "06tacosport"
advice on towing with 6spd...
Hey guys....so as you know i have an 06 sport 6spd truck and right now i'm towing around a 1400lb popup with not too much problem....now we are hopefully going to be buying a hybrid come this camping season, which will most likely be bout 21'-23' long with dry weight prob no more then 4800lbs...the thing is, is that this past summer was the first time i experienced towing with a manual vehicle and i noticed that i had some difficulty when it came to "backing up" the camper into the spot...where we stay i have to back the camper in off a small incline...i was really having trouble pushing the camper back without either stalling or burning my clutch....so now i'm worried that i'm going to have even MORE trouble when i strap on a bigger camper to the end...is there a certain trick to backing up a camper when dealing with a manual vehicle, as to not ruin the clutch? i can't really just let off the clutch and gun it when i need to make such little adjustments to get the camper in right...also with a larger camper is there certain gears i should avoid when driving on the highway?...thanks in advance

it's simple practice makes perfect, actually a clutch is better for towing, they are stronger and you can more easily chose gears while driving, you don' see many automatic 18wheelers. Just practice with your lighter trailer, then practice with your new one on flat ground as much as you can before going out into the real world. Trust me I drive a tow truck, getting good at backing up just takes practice.
Towing Guru
SLOTaco is right it just takes practice. Before I started my new life as a profesional bicycle mechanic I spent 7 years as a short haul trucker, and I've been towing trailers recreationally for as long as I've been driving, so to me backing a trailer has become second nature.
Find a big empty parking lot, take some construction cones and set up a relatively tight space and practice backing into it with the pop-up before you get rid of it. Then do the same thing with the hybrid when you take delivery of that. If you go to the same campgrounds regularly, make a list of campsites that are easyer for you to back in to than others and when you call to make your reservations request those sites, in my experience most campground operaters are more than happy to honor those requests if they can. Pull up to your site, and then get out and walk arround, look at the rig, and the site and formulate your plan of attack before getting back in the truck. A good back-in is often the result of a good starting position, for example if it would be easier to get into the spot from the other direction, then by all means go past the site and turn arround and come at it from the other angle. Extended tow mirrors like the ones covered in my towing bible help as well as they give you more ability to see as you begin your backing process as well. A good spotter with an FRS radio to guide you helps too, This works for me when I am going somewhere with my father, but my wife absolutely sucks at it. Last tip I've got for you is if you're trying to back in on an incline start in neutral, engage the parking brake, take a deep breath and relax, depress the clutch, shift into reverse, begin to slowly feather the clutch untill the engine begins to bog down, release the parking brake, slowly back in as if you were on flat ground. The above technique is designed to take your mind off of hurrying to controll your roll as you switch from the brake to the gas, which is a common problem, which gets people adjitated and tense before they've even begun to back up. Hope this helps, and sorry if I over simplified things, I was just trying to cover it all. |
If i'm not on pavement and have to back up an incline I use 4lo. That way you can take your time, watch what your doing and go slow without burning your clutch or lugging your motor.
I will have to agree with the OP reverse is too high and it is difficult slipping the clutch just trying to back up, I am glad I have the option to use 4lo.
Toyota just put too high of a reverse and first in my opinion....this is a truck not a car. |

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
Hi all,
I am a little confused here:
My requirement is:
I have three sets of products, they all can be delivered locally in US, UK and India.
Since the delivery is local. I would be using three different shipping methods to calculate the final price. Royal Mail, USPS, India Post.
Also each store would have its own currency.
For CC process, I would like to use 2checkout.com and would like to separate carts for each store.
I would like to direct visitors to the right store based on geo location.
Confusion is:
1) Can I separate shipping methods for each store. 2) Can each store have its own currency, 3) Can all store use one company for checkout or will each store have its own gateway. 4) Can I direct visitors to stores based on geo-location 5) Can I separate carts.
Many thanks in advance.

House Amendment Earmarks $100 Million To Aid Fire Service
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a supplemental budget bill that includes $100 million in federal aid for local fire departments. This is an astounding and significant turn of events that threatens what hope is left for the billion-dollar Firefighter Investment and Response Act (FIRE Act). But it also sends a signal that Congress finally recognizes that the federal government has a responsibility to assist the nation's firefighters – just as it does for the police.
There still is a legislative maze to navigate before this program becomes law and a lot of things can go wrong along the way. But it has been approved by key Republican leaders who control Congress and it drew impressive bipartisan support when the House passed it by an overwhelming vote of 386 to 28.
That support was pulled together by co-sponsors Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA), Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and the Congressional Fire Service Caucus. The fire program actually is an amendment tacked on to a supplemental emergency spending bill that would give the Clinton administration $12.7 billion for military operations in Kosovo, anti-drug efforts in Latin America, hurricane disaster relief and other projects.
As drafted by Weldon and Hoyer, the amendment provides for $80 million in matching grants that fire departments can use for equipment and protective clothing, communications and computer technology, health and fitness programs, modifications and repairs to stations and training facilities. It also provides for fire and EMS training programs, fire prevention and code enforcement, arson prevention and detection.
In addition, $10 million is specifically earmarked for rural fire departments and another $10 million is set aside for burn prevention programs, including research and aid to hospital burn centers. Unlike the FIRE Act, this program does not provide money to purchase apparatus or to hire firefighters. And, it is for one year only, where the FIRE Act would have been a five-year project.
Weldon tried to make fire departments eligible for a share of the $4.75 billion in community development block funds that go to the states and counties. But Democrats from big-city districts objected to sharing that money with the fire-rescue service and it was dropped in order to hold the bipartisan support.
Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis and a department must show financial need and come up with matching funds in order to qualify. Those receiving grants will be required to report their statistics to the National Fire Incident Report System – something many departments have been negligent in doing. The program will be administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
How the emergency spending bill and the fire amendment will fare in the Senate is uncertain as this is written. Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) is reported to be cool to any supplemental spending, but other GOP leaders see it as a necessity and help for the fire service has the backing of some powerful Senate committee chairmen.
As previously reported here, the idea of a $100 million fire bill had been floated by the House Republican leadership when it became clear that the FIRE Act would stay buried in the House Science committee. The Clinton administration, which had not shown any interest in the FIRE Act, proposed a modest $25 million program to aid local fire departments. The fire organizations didn't like either plan and kept pressing for a hearing that would lead to an up or down vote on the FIRE Act.
They lobbied hard on Capitol Hill and generated a grass roots campaign that apparently had some impact. While the Science committee remained dug in, the Transportation committee announced an April hearing on fire safety and the White House belatedly endorsed the FIRE Act.
Suddenly, the $100 million proposal came to life when the GOP House leadership passed the word to Weldon that they were ready to move a bill. He and Hoyer quickly drafted the amendment and rallied support on both sides of the aisle. Democrats and Republicans climbed on board, including some GOP members who had opposed the FIRE Act.
You don't need a computer to figure out that there's a vast difference between the one-year, $100 million amendment and the $5 billion that the FIRE Act would provide over five years. "All they're giving us is crumbs," was the reaction of a congressional aide who had been pushing for the FIRE Act. And, it's far less than the billions of dollars in federal aid the police receive every year. But you don't have to be a political genius to figure out that the choice may be $100 million for one year or going down in flames with the FIRE Act and getting nothing.
That's the thinking of the major fire organizations who are supporting the Weldon-Hoyer amendment. "It's not the end game, but it's the first step in the direction we want to go," says one fire service lobbyist. Another adds that "it gets Congress on record that the U.S. government has a role to play in supporting local fire departments." And, a third explains: "What we're getting here is real money … and it increases the chances that a FIRE Act will be passed in the future."
Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. (D-NJ), who created and introduced the FIRE Act, was among those caught by surprise. But he played the role of a good soldier and voted for the amendment. However, in his remarks to the House, Pascrell pointed out that it does not provide money to hire more firefighters or buy new apparatus – which are the two most costly items for financially strapped fire departments. Pascrell declared: "I am not satisfied with this. I do not believe this is enough. We have a greater responsibility to those who are our first responders … Make no mistake about it, this amendment is not the FIRE bill. It is just a down payment on a much larger obligation to the fire service and our communities."
Pascrell's bill may be superseded by the amendment, but he deserves credit for being the catalyst who made it all happen. If it hadn't been for his FIRE Act, Congress would never have considered a $100 million program to help the fire-rescue service. And, now that they've established a precedent that the federal government can and should provide financial aid to local fire departments, there is reason to hope that a future Congress may produce legislation on a scale closer to the FIRE Act.

When out in your kayak your security needs to come first.You will particularly want to have the best life vest to keep you safe and comfortable in your kayak.
However, it can be difficult to find the appropriate jacket when you browse a big selection in a store or online. You have to understand a few of the fundamentals of a great life vest, so that you will have the ability to select one that will fit your kayaking needs. You can find great tips for life jackets at Life Jacket Advisor.
You should know that there are life jackets are made specifically for kayaking and canoeing. They have a short upper body so that the boater will be able to sit down conveniently while he is paddling.
They also have a thinner flotation gadget in the front that permits the paddler to have totally free range of motion with his arms throughout his body. They are meant to keep their wearer drifting, but they are now being made to help their user be more mobile while wearing them.
Life vests are vital to your survival while kayaking, however they are also made to be comfy. An excellent one will have adjustable straps so that it can be tightened or loosened for a good fit. It will have thinner foam or mesh in the lower back for the kayaker seated on a small seat in the kayak. It will certainly also have reflective tape on the leading and front so that the kayaker can be seen from the air. Many also consist of storage pockets.
When you look for a life vest, ensure that you are searching for one produced the appropriate gender. Life jackets are not always unisex, however, are developed with the gender in mind so that there is a good vest-to-body fit. This tight fit will keep the life vest effective when the wearer has fallen in the water. Look thoroughly at all your choices before choosing your brand-new life jacket, it will certainly be well worth it.

Though a downpour, lightning and thunder dampened preparation efforts on Friday, the 13th annual Relay For Life of Oakdale went on undaunted over the weekend, hundreds of participants raising thousands of dollars in the fight against cancer.
Cal-OSHA, the state's Division of Occupational Safety and Health, protects workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California through its research and standards, enforcement and consultation programs.
Police units spent a portion of Monday night, April 21, investigating a night time stabbing that occurred in the Oakdale Plaza Shopping Center.
Traffic collisions are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States. In response to this troubling fact, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has partnered with Impact Teen Drivers with a shared goal, to change the teen culture and make distracted driving intolerable. The yearlong traffic safety campaign continues through September 2014.
The search to lead the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District ended when the district's board voted 4-0 and announced the appointment of its new fire chief, Randall Bradley, at its April 10 meeting. He will be paid $157,000 per year to lead the department.
It's an event that draws the community in droves and with good reason, much like the Halloween parade, the Kid's Fest and Safety Fair is all about the kids.
Fearing a 17 percent cut in city services with the loss of current Measure O funds, the Oakdale City Council on Monday night voted 4-1 in favor of requesting the county to place an initiative basically extending the current sales tax measure another five years on the November ballot.
The search to lead the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection ended when the district's board voted 4-0 and announced the appointment of its new fire chief, Randall Bradley, at its April 10 meeting. He will be paid $157,000 per year to lead the department.
The majority of collisions in the Central Division that end in death or injury begin with a speeding or aggressive driver. To address this issue, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has embarked on a yearlong, lifesaving endeavor to reduce the frequency of these collisions.
From the nearly perfect weather to well-attended events throughout the week, Oakdale's 63rd annual PRCA Rodeo culminated with a fast-paced weekend of competition. All Around champion at the Oakdale Saddle Club-sponsored rodeo was Elko, Nevada resident Dakota Eldridge. He earned the title and the championship buckle, finishing in the money in both steer wrestling and tie down roping.
The final event in nearly a week of festivities before the start of the actual rodeo, Saturday morning's parade along F Street through downtown Oakdale draws dozens of entries and hundreds of participants.
Weather forecasters are calling for sunny skies and temperatures peaking in the 80s on Saturday, picture perfect for some egg hunting and fun.
I have to admit, this is my first experience with Rodeo Week due to usually taking anniversary vacations in April during my time here at The Leader.
The Modesto Junior College Civic Engagement Project (CEP) invites the community to a screening of the documentary film "Chasing Ice" on Thursday, April 17, at 7p.m. in Forum 110 on East Campus, 435 College Ave., Modesto. This is the final event of the CEP Spring Film and Lecture Series and admission is free. Campus parking is available for $1 in student parking lots.
Beginning on Monday, April 14 the Bureau of Reclamation began increasing releases from Goodwin Dam into the Stanislaus River to benefit Stanislaus River steelhead and San Joaquin River Chinook salmon. Goodwin Dam is located downstream from Tulloch Dam and New Melones Dam and Reservoir, features of the Central Valley Project.

Motorists trying to turn in to the East F Street McDonald's in Oakdale to get their French fry or Big Mac fix will have to wait a while to place that order.
A year from now, if all goes as planned, some 3,250 acres within the Oakdale Irrigation District will use water much more efficiently.
U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) introduced a bill on Wednesday, Jan. 14 to lessen the burden on disabled veterans by extending military commissary and exchange store privileges to former service members and their families.
Oakdale Chamber of Commerce will host its 69th Annual Awards on Friday, Jan. 16, 2015 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., staged at the Gene Bianchi Community Center, 110 S. Second Ave., Oakdale.
The Bacigalupi family is well known throughout the Oakdale area. Not only for the infamous H-B Saloon on F Street, but also for their philanthropy including sponsoring the Cowboy Golf Tournament, the annual AFC-NFC Championship Tailgate Party to benefit local causes, donations to Spirit of Oakdale, Community Sharing, the Lions Club Children's Christmas Shopping Tour and several contributions to Oakdale High School sports.
Crab season is alive and well and Oakdale Junior High School's Parent Teacher Club is ready to get cracking.
Life is not being wasted on Bill and Joanne Parker. At the ages of 85 (Bill) and 84 (Joanne), this couple did not wait for New Year's Day to make a resolution or begin a new health plan. On Jan. 2, 2015 the couple could be found in the same place they were on Dec. 31, 2014 … putting in some time at Fitness Plus in Oakdale.
The adage 'one man's trash is another man's treasure' was well portrayed in a recent Stanislaus River homeless camp clean up on Wednesday, Dec 31.
Like many families do, the 'family' of kids, parents and teachers at The Learning Tree Preschool in Oakdale recently completed their holiday 'Gingerbread House' craft making activity, with the children able to take home their sweet treats to display (or eat) over the holidays. Following are some photos from the special craft day.
Law enforcement fatalities in the U.S. rose 24 percent in 2014, reversing what had been two years of dramatic declines in line of duty deaths, based on preliminary data compiled and released by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF).
Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen, (R-Modesto), issued a statement following Governor Jerry Brown's inaugural address on Monday, Jan. 5:

Karim Rashid designs Spaghetti for Vondom
High-profile designer Karim Rashid has collaborated once again with cutting-edge Valencia-based design company Vondom. Following on from his other collections for the same company – Vertex, Doux, Lava and Vlek– Rashid has created his Spaghetti range of mix-and-match planters with metal stands in various vibrant colours or monochrome tones. As its name suggests, it's a playful idea.
The planters comprise a skeletal stand which raises the plants – contained in a solid pot – high off the ground. Projecting the pot into the air, the design looks transparent and light, and puts the focus on the plants themselves. The planter comes in two sizes – 84 or 105cm tall – and is ideal for wide outdoor spaces.
Vondom is one of Spain's most experimental companies. Its most recent collaboration with Rashid highlights once again two of its main hallmarks: collaborations with well-known designers (notably a collection of vases designed by Teresa Sapey) and a commitment to creating original, eye-catching pieces.
Born in Cairo to Egyptian and British parents and raised in Canada, Rashid is one of the most high-profile designers of his generation. He's created over 3,000 designs in more than 35 countries.

Recipe: Simple Pan-Seared Salmon Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn This easy dish is on the short list for weeknight meals that hit all my criteria: fast, healthy, filling, and killer good. Simply seasoned, the salmon is pan fried until the exterior is super crispy while the interior remains buttery soft.
Recipe: Banana Nut Muffins Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn Banana nut muffins are one of the greatest pleasures of the breakfast table, and I'll have strong words with anyone who says otherwise. They walk that fine line between wholesome breakfast and (let's be honest) cake, and they walk it so very well. These particular banana nut muffins are my favorite. They are extra moist and tender — you can slice one in half, slather it with butter, and take a healthy bite, all without fear that your breakfast will disintegrate into crumbs. They are also as banana-y and nut-filled as any slice of banana bread, but in a form that's portable, packable, and ready to go out the door with you.
Recipe: Herbed Yogurt Biscuits Side Dish Recipes from The Kitchn Every cook needs a foolproof biscuit recipe, and this version proves to be just that, along with a welcome addition of zesty fresh herbs and savory black pepper. Greek yogurt subs in for more traditional buttermilk, providing an airy texture and a oh-so-subtle tang. These delightful biscuits are easy enough for a weeknight meal, but impressive enough for dinner with friends!
Recipe: Green Salad with Orange, Avocado, and Red Onion Side Dish Recipes from The Kitchn My mother-in-law, a wonderful all-around cook, is especially known for her salads. While the ingredients vary a little each time she tosses one together, over time I've started to notice several toppings turning up in regular rotation: citrus, red onion, and avocado. What I think makes this a winning combination isn't just the way the flavors work together, but also how beautiful the orange, purple, and green look on the plate.
Recipe: Soba Noodle Soup with Mushrooms & Chard Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn I inevitably eat too much during the holidays, especially when I travel back home to Illinois. Because of this, I don't necessarily look at the New Year as a time to eat healthier, but rather a welcome return to lighter fare and a relief from the heavier foods I just consumed. I like to pull in fresh flavors, use quite a bit of ginger, and include has many leafy greens as I can. Most of the time, those greens are in salad form, but occasionally I'll make a quick batch of soup, like this flexible, easy Mushroom Chard Soup with Soba Noodles.
How To Quickly Cook Shrimp on the Stovetop Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn Open Slideshow For a Midwestern girl who didn't see the ocean until she was in her teens, I have fallen hard for shrimp. It helps that I married a New Englander who requires plates of these plump little morsels on a regular basis in order to keep all systems functional. It also helps that shrimp are so easy — the effort-to-reward ratio is high with this particular seafood. Even pulled straight from the freezer, I can have a platter of quick-sautéed shrimp on the table in 15 minutes flat. Add a bowl of garlicky pasta or a leafy green salad, and dinner is a done deal.
What Are Some Good Ideas for Quick Weekend Lunches? Good Questions Q: I have transitioned to being a stay-at-home mom and have enjoyed the challenge of cooking more of our meals from scratch. My biggest problem is weekend lunches.
15 Recipes to Reboot Your Lunch Routine The Kitchn's Best of 2014 Chilled Black Bean, Feta, and Cucumber Salad Open Slideshow We've all fallen victim to a lunch rut at some point. Whether you're guilty of sad desk lunches, boring sandwiches, or lackluster salads, it's time to snap out of it! Make 2015 the year you give your lunch routine a giant reboot. From leafy greens and whole-grain salads to soups, sandwiches, and noodles, here are 15 recipes to turn your lunch around.
Recipe: Hot Crab Puffs Appetizer Recipes from The Kitchn During the holiday season, I look forward to the parties most of all — seeing my favorite people, the festive music and decor, and of course, the special holiday-only foods. Whether I'm the host or just bringing a dish to add to the buffet, I aim for something that impresses, but isn't so labor-intensive that it adds more stress to an already busy season. My newest appetizer to make the cut are these hot little crab puffs. I fill puff pastry cups with a creamy, lightly seasoned filling boasting a generous helping of sweet crab meat. With these flaky bites, the crab dip comes to you!
Recipe: Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies Recipes from The Kitchn Whether you're gearing up for a cookie exchange or churning out homemade goodies for gifting, holiday baking is probably kicking into full gear for a lot of you. If you feel overwhelmed by options or just don't have a lot of time, might I suggest these scrumptious chocolate gingerbread cookies? They're fast and easy — and good news, no piping skills required!

So...I think Jeff Minter is awesome. So, when I saw TouchArcade post a story about this game coming out, I immediately bought it. To my dismay, it is only compatible on 3G iTouches and up. I have a 2G. Fortunately, it was only a dollar. Now I'm considering getting a Verizon iPhone partly just to play this...
Anyone else make the same mistake?
Anybody else buy this on impulse and regret it?

The Young Naturalist Awards Program hosted by the American Museum of Natural History, invites students in grades 7 through 12 to conduct original research in the areas of biology, earth science or astronomy. Students work independently to make observations, record data and illustrate findings before documenting their research in a written essay. The 12 finalists (two per grade) receive scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,500 and are flown to New York City to meet museum scientists, take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Museum and attend an awards ceremony.
Winners are further distinguished by having their essays published on the Museum's website. The program is conducted by the American Museum of Natural History and supported by Alcoa Foundation. Entrants must be United States or Canadian citizens or legal residents living within the United States, Canada or U.S. Territories. Submissions are reviewed by a panel of science teachers and by museum scientists.

Each year more than half a million students - just like - you participate in the National History Day Contest. How can you get in on the action? Choose a historical topic related to the annual theme, and then conduct primary and secondary research. Look through libraries, archives and museums, conduct oral history interviews, and visit historic sites. After you've analyzed and interpreted your sources, and have drawn a conclusion about the significance of your topic, you will then be able to present your work in one of five ways: as a paper, an exhibit, a performance, a documentary, or a web site.
The National History Day Contest is open to students in grades 6-12 in the junior (grades 6-8) and senior (grades 9-12) divisions. The projects relate to a specific historical topic or theme. There are seven categories, including individual papers, individual exhibits, group exhibits, individual performance, group performance, individual documentary, and group documentation. Within each category, the first place winner receives $1,000, the second place winner receives $500, and the third place winner receives $250. The national contest is held in June.

Hello from the beautiful city of London! I've been here for a month and if I've learned anything, it's that the study abroad experience is just as wonderful as everyone says it is. It's also given me the chance to put some study abroad myths to the test.
Myth #1: Study abroad is 90% partying, 10% studying. This certainly depends on what kind of student you normally are and what kind of lifestyle you lead at your home university. Europeans do go out more than Americans but "going out" often means drinking a pint with some friends at the local pub and not necessarily getting all dolled up and going clubbing. And once assignment deadlines start looming, you are going to have to hit the books.
Myth #2: It's too much money. It's very easy to study abroad in a financially responsible way. If you go through a program hosted by your home university, any financial aid you have will (or should) transfer. After that, it's all a matter of using your money in a smart way. Also, check online and with your study abroad office to see if there are study abroad-specific scholarships you can apply for. I got $4,500 from Miami's study abroad office and it'll be funding all of my travels and then some!
Myth #3: It's dangerous and/or scary. It's drilled into our heads before we leave that pickpocketing is a big threat in Europe but as long as you're smart about your belongings, international cities are no more dangerous than cities in America. And living in a new country is certainly a jarringly different experience but it'll only change you for the better.
Myth #4: Europeans all dress a certain way and you need to fit in. Everyone in London looks like they've stepped out of a fashion magazine – well-dressed and attractive – so if I wear a Miami t-shirt to class, I stick out like a sore thumb. It's ok, though: Regardless of how you dress, people will know you're American as soon as you open your mouth.
Myth #5: You'll have more free time than you know what to do with. I'm taking four classes and each is two hours per week with Tuesdays and Fridays off. I've become a champion napper but I've also done a ton of exploring. You're abroad for a short time – don't waste it!

When she's not writing for the school newspaper, you can find her at the gym, either working or working out. She loves all '80s pop culture (the cheesier the better!), and glues herself to her TV when the Olympics are on. She dreams big, and believes the sky's the limit!

Wouldn't it be amazing if that super expensive college you were just accepted into said, "Hey there, new friend – thanks for all your hard work saving, scrimping and scholarship searching but we'll take it from here, financially"? It can happen...kind of.
When a student fills out the FAFSA, a figure known as the expected family contribution (EFC) – the amount a student or family can reasonably spend on one year of college – is calculated using family income, number of children, amount of assets and other factors. There is sometimes a gap between the EFC and the final cost of college but 62 schools have reported to U.S. News that, on average, 100 percent of their admitted full-time undergraduate students' financial need was met for fall 2010 by some combination of aid (work-study, merit scholarships, grants, subsidized loans, etc.).
Now, we're not going to list every single college and university that reported these claims (you can check out U.S. News' site for that) but we will say that some well-known schools like Yale, Vanderbilt and Grinnell – the latter of which has never failed to meet full need for a student in 20 years, according to financial aid director Arnold Woods – have made the cut. Way to go and keep up the good work!

For any student thinking about transferring, there's always the worry that the credits they've worked so hard to achieve will be worth nothing at their new school...any student except those transferring to DePaul University, that is.
According to Lois Bishop, DePaul's director of community college partnerships, transfer students at DePaul have great grades and high graduation rates but many have failed to take prerequisite courses or accumulated credits at their previous institutions that won't count toward their bachelor's degrees. In order to make transferring as educationally- and cost-effective as it can be, the school created the DePaul Admissions Partnership Program to help transfer students earn their two-year credentials and bachelor's degrees on time. Students in the program are guaranteed a spot at DePaul if they finish community college with a 2.0 GPA and receive $2,000 a year after transferring if they achieve a 3.0. They also lock in bachelor's degree requirements if they enroll within three years of starting the program, have access to DePaul advisers while at the community college to ensure they take the right classes for their eventual majors and can earn reverse credits toward associate degrees. (Check out additional details from Inside Higher Ed here.)
Since the program's launch last year, DePaul has partnered with Richard J. Daley College, Kennedy-King College, Malcolm X College, Olive-Harvey College, Harold Washington College, Truman College, Wright College, College of DuPage, Harper College, Moraine Valley Community College and Oakton Community College but hopes to expand the opportunity to more schools and students. What do you think of the DePaul Admissions Partnership Program? Would a program like this appeal to you if you were thinking about transferring?

In my last article, I talked a lot about language classes at school and how you can use those skills in your own cities. But honestly the best way to practice a foreign language is to immerse yourself in it so in this column, I'm going to talk about studying abroad – but cost effectively.
Like with real estate, the costs associated with studying abroad depend on location, location, location. While your parents didn't have a lot of study abroad options outside Europe, the world is changing and becoming more global every day; by changing that dream European vacation into a jaunt to a different continent, you can save a lot of money and have a unique experience. I studied abroad here in Buenos Aires, which at the time was about $10,000 cheaper than an equivalent program I could have done in Barcelona. Plus, my study abroad program was about a month and a half longer, meaning I had a lot more cultural immersion than I would have had with the program in Spain.
Also, think about if you really need the college credits you'll get abroad. If you can just go for a summer and give up the academic courses or if you're ahead on credits and can take a semester off, it might be worth it to check out volunteering abroad programs aimed at young people. Generally, the prices are significantly lower for a few months of building houses than for university classes; however, the experience is very different than taking university classes with native students (which is what I did...and loved) so think about what you're really looking for in an abroad experience before choosing.
Finally, there are ways to actually make money while you're studying abroad! Many countries are looking for English teachers and it's worth checking out expatriate websites to see if anyone needs a babysitter who is a native English speaker. Similarly, if your language skills are good enough, there are lots of translation jobs out there – just check Craigslist like I did!
Liz Coffin-Karlin grew up in Sarasota, Florida where the sun is always shining and it's unbearably hot outside. She went to college at Northwestern University and after studying Spanish and history, she decided to study abroad in Buenos Aires. In college, she worked on the student newspaper (The Daily Northwestern), met people from all over the world at the Global Engagement Summit and, by her senior year, earned the title of 120-hour dancer at NU's annual Dance Marathon. She currently works in Buenos Aires on freedom of speech issues but is thinking about returning to the U.S. for a job in urban education.

Traditionally, most college students live in dorms or apartments on or near their campuses to get the full "college experience." But before you sign that rental agreement, you might want to consider living at home and commuting to school.
We're all familiar with the stereotypical college student – eating Ramen noodles for every meal and taking out student loans to pay for books and tuition – but that doesn't have to be you! My goal is to graduate from college debt-free so I live at home with my parents and commute to a university about 30 minutes away. Because I live at home, I am able to save myself rent and utility expenses and use the money I earn from my job to pay cash for my tuition and books. Some students prefer the feeling of independence that comes with living on your own (I mean, if you live in your parents' house, you live by their rules!) but not taking out student loans will mean financial freedom after I graduate and get a real job.
The downside to living so far off-campus is that I'm not as connected to events and happenings at school as the students who live there are. It's not always easy to make it to meetings and events when commuting from the next county but by no means does it deprive me of the college experience: I still attend football games, plays and seminars at my university, and hang out with friends between classes.
Is living home and commuting right for you? While it's certainly not for everyone, it's definitely an option that I encourage students to consider while making housing plans for the upcoming school year.

My wife and I were playing with another couple on Veterans Day, Sunday 11 Nov 12. My wife who has played only 11 years already has three holes in one, all three with Titleist ProV1 balls personalized with her nickname "Wannika" because she is a wannabe "Annika." I made my second ace about 30 years ago, and I was really feeling the pressure to get back to all square. The 14th hole at our club is relatively short, but played into a 20 mph headwind that Sunday. I chose to knock down a Titleist AP2 9-iron and let it fly. The ball looked good all the way, landed about a foot right of the hole, bounced forward and to the left, then backed into the hole. Very cool! My male playing partner and I watched it the whole way, but the girls were busy talking with each other as they walked to the forward tee, so the first they knew of it was when he and I yelled out with joy. It was a great way to enjoy the benefits of our soldiers' sacrifices.

It's a strange feeling for Warriors fans — hearing about a plan, then watching it be put into action. Back at the end of May, Jerry West commented that the team needed to land "a couple of veterans … I'm not talking about guys that are 35, 36 years old. I'm talking about people that have some life left in them, that can really contribute, and give our coach some players that can do the intangible things a heck of a lot better than some of the players we have." By acquiring 28-year-old point guard Jarrett Jack, the Warriors are now halfway to West's goal. They still need to be aggressive (and spend some money) to round out their rotation with another new addition (ideally a big), but Jack — a savvy veteran capable of running a team — is an excellent fit for the Warriors' backcourt.
Dorell Wright Departs — and Salary Protection Returns?
[UPDATE -- the Wright deal has been expanded to include point guard Jarrett Jack, most recently on the Hornets. He'll likely back up Curry next year and gives the Warriors a steady veteran in the backcourt. His $5.4M deal expires at the end of 2012-13, preserving the Warriors' cap flexibility. This obviously changes the analysis below -- but the key pieces for the Warriors this free agency period are still the mid-level exception and Rush's Bird Rights.]
To be blunt, the Warriors likely won't miss Dorell Wright's presence on the court next season. Despite an outstanding debut year with the Warriors — when he was their most consistent two-way player — he never gained his confidence in Mark Jackson's system during his second year with the team, failed to maintain the aggressiveness the coaching staff wanted from him and lost minutes to Brandon Rush and Dominic McGuire. Drafting Harrison Barnes was just the final push to edge Wright out of the Warriors' plans. But off the court, Wright's departure is a whole different story. Continue Reading
The Warriors' 2012 Draft: Wants and Needs
Noted NBA analyst Mick Jagger once observed that "you can't always get what you want, but sometimes, you might just find, you get what you need." With Thursday's draft, the Warriors weren't able to secure either of their two prized targets — 2nd pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or 4th pick Dion Waiters — but they did get, at least partially, what they needed. UNC standout Harrison Barnes has the potential to be a quality starter at small forward; 7-foot, 264 pound Festus Ezeli brings some beef to the front line; and second-rounder Draymond Green is a moneyball gamer secured at low cost. None of these moves will catapult the Warriors into championship contention (or even the second round of the playoffs) but they are undoubtedly a more talented and complete team than they were 24 hours ago.
Fast Break Draft Party
Draft day has finally arrived, but it was a long and winding path for the Warriors to get here. The Marcus Williams trade — four years ago next month — hung over this pick all year. The brutal 3-17 conclusion to the season drove home just how badly the Warriors wanted to keep it. The pick could have disappeared with a tie-breaking coin flip at the end of the season or with the draw of a ping pong ball last month at the lottery. But the Warriors held onto it, instilling it with a sort of talismanic significance. Now, it's time for the Warriors to engage in a bit of basketball alchemy, turning those ugly games and lucky breaks into winning talent.
Mock Draft (One Day Out)
We're officially into the crazy hours. Misdirection and speculation rule in the day before the draft. The Warriors have seemingly been linked to every potential prospect available from 4-15 and a handful of other teams in trade talks. My three fundamental rules for sorting through all these rumors, then my final stab at reading the tea leaves.
Mock Draft (One Week Out)
Joe Lacob is tired of losing. If you're looking for a single unifying principle driving the Warriors' moves this draft week, it'll be that painful gap these past two years between promises and results. The Warriors' owner (rightfully) believes that the 2012-13 team, even with no major roster moves, will be dramatically better than the injury-riddled team that limped to the seventh pick. Andrew Bogut's arrival, Stephen Curry's return and Klay Thompson's maturation should put the team back on the path to respectability. This week, Lacob hopes to use the Warriors' lottery pick to add a starting-quality piece to that yet-untested mix of talent — ideally nudging the Warriors from the edge of the playoff picture to the center of it. But like all things so far in Lacob's tenure as Warriors' owner, that addition of talent will be easier said than done.
Mock Draft (Two Weeks Out)
The past two years the Warriors have been — how do I put this politely — transparent in their draft intentions. In 2010, Larry Riley spent the entire week before the draft telling anyone who would listen how impressed he was with Ekpe Udoh (and his suit). In 2011, Jerry West was open in his adoration of Klay Thompson and the rest of the Warriors' brain trust was open in talking about how much West loved Thompson's game. But this year, so far, the Warriors' draft ambitions are far from obvious. Part of the confusion stems from the Warriors sitting, at pick 7, on a seam between the second and third tier of talent in this draft. The rest of it comes from the fact that the Warriors may finally be playing a few games when it comes to their pronouncements. Nearly every player likely available at 7 has received his fair share of praise from knowledgeable Warriors sources. Is this the year the Warriors finally surprise with the pick? With just under two weeks to go until the draft, here's how I see things shaking out.
Warriors Draft: The Future is Now
John D. Rockefeller once observed that he "always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity." By most objective standards, the Warriors' 2011-12 season was a disaster. But it presented the franchise with a tremendous opportunity to take the next step towards become a perennial playoff team. That opportunity took a hit when the odds played out as expected and denied the Warriors a jump into the top three picks. Now, the Warriors will need to break from their usual draft habit of hoping that they can develop whatever mid-lottery pick falls into their laps. Lacob and company have assembled a roster that's ready to win now — and the 7th pick in the 2012 draft similarly needs to produce an immediate contributor.
Final Grades — The Small Forwards
Four of the five spots in the Warriors' 2012-13 starting line-up, ankles willing, are currently set. The lone question mark — the small forward spot — remains frustrating jumble of reasonably talented, but ultimately limited players. Add to the mix what will hopefully be a top-7 draft pick (or a player acquired in exchange for that draft pick), and the competition for small forward minutes — let alone starts — is likely to be fierce next season. Here's my assessment of how the incumbents fared last year.
After the Announcement: The Warriors' Long, Expensive Path to San Francisco
With last Tuesday's announcement, the Warriors finally made official what most have suspected since Joe Lacob and Peter Guber bought the team: the franchise's days in Oakland are numbered. The big unveiling — with Lacob and others speaking in bold generalities and simple promises — also likely marked the high point for support for the move. Going forward, there will be opponents to be placated, details to be sorted and costs to be funded. Managing those demands will be a tall but not insurmountable task for the team. It'll require flexibility, humility and lots and lots of money.

NYC's Coney Island Hopes For Rebound After Sandy
After tallying $400,000 in damage from Sandy, Zigun's nonprofit Coney Island USA is hard-pressed to pay for this summer's Mermaid Parade, an annual gathering of more than 1,500 people marching in wacky â¿¿ and often revealing â¿¿ costumes to celebrate the kooky seaside culture of Coney Island.
"We're moving forward, even though it's questionable," Zigun said, adding that weather will be the deciding factor. "We are savvy Coney Island carneys; once we reopen, we are damn good at making money."
Luna Park amusement park says its nearly 30 rides are all open, including the wooden Cyclone Rollercoaster. Last year, 759,000 people visited Luna Park, 120,000 more than in 2011, according to the city.
Despite this recovery, many in the neighborhood surrounding the boardwalk are still looking for rebirth.
The Coney Island library is closed, and the post office is only partially open. More than two dozen unsalvageable buildings in or around Coney Island still need to be demolished, said Chuck Reichenthal, the district manager of the area's community board. With an unclear timeline for demolition, he said, air quality during the beach season could be an issue. Still, he said, the fact that so much of the amusement park has opened already is an encouraging sign that Coney Island businesses will rebound and cover their losses. "I am trying to be even more than cautiously optimistic and just be outwardly optimistic," he said. "The beach is ready; we don't find any more drifting materials from the Rockaways or other places. The ocean appears clean. Hey, let's have fun."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
