Super 8 Gresham Portland
New and clean
They updated us to a nice two bed room w/ lounge area, fridge, tv, big bathroom, coffee making supplies, a/c. Has access to a jacuzzi which nobody uses and laundry facilities. Includes a free breakfast, continental. This is a new hotel. The location is a bit far out but the metro is just a 3 min. walk away and you can be in the city in 20 mins. It's in a working class/apartments everywhere type of area. I like it just fine. Lots of great Mexican restaurants in this outlying area. Airport is about 12 mins. away by car. Very nice and safe hotel.
Unique Quality: Free continental breakfast, jacuzzi, fridge in room, a/c, secure lobby, clean, great Mexican at Taco Rico! Take a right outside the parking lot, cross the street and there it is on the right, excellent!

Tree Limbs ► Open17 Gerrish Ave East Haven, Connecticut
There are large tree limbs hanging over the electrical wires and across Gerrish Ave. that need to be taken down before the next big storm. The town and electrical company have been called several times about this with no resolution· Reported by Toni (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged
- View all 5 Comments
Toni (Registered User)
One of the trees has been taken down, thank you! But the bigger tree with more dangerous limbs is still up. If this tree comes down it's taking the pole with power to the whole street down
Toni (Registered User)
The tree is still standing after numerous calls to the town and UI.
Toni (Registered User)
Still standing
Toni (Registered User)
Apparently the town of East Haven doesn't monitor See Click Fix, this has been an issue for 481 days and we are again in hurricane season. The UI company refused to deal with this issue also, so we are at a standstill until the limbs come down and take the power down on the street. It will also damage the house across the street if it falls that way. In any event, it will close the street down if it falls.
Recycling ► Open34 - 35 Hilltop Road New Haven, Connecticut

Drivers ignore a Do Not Enter Sign. ► Open2 Charter Oak Avenue East Haven, Connecticut
There is a one way street heading towards the airport that people treat as a two way road. The sign says Do Not Enter, but people routinely drive down it onto Charter Oak usually at high speeds. The situation is an accident waiting to happen there. Please put a cop in the area to hand out tickets for traffic violations.
parking during baseball/softball games ► Open2-36 Roma Street East Haven, Connecticut
cars are parking along the entire sides of the streets during games up to the corners and stop signs creating hazards for anyone driving these streets and turning. The CT state statue is no parking within 25 ft of a stop sign.
Please enforce these rules with warnings or posted signs to increase the safety for all pedestrians in this area.· Reported by Road Runner · Share · Flag Flagged
Road Runner (Registered User)
still an issue. I frequently see police cars in the area during these games and they appear to take no notice. they sit in the ll Salice parking lot and talk, rather than address these issues.
Road Runner (Registered User)
Still an issue despite this area recently being proposed as a church. It seems that everyone knows it is an issue but officials cant seem to fix it
Road Runner (Registered User)
Please address this issue...multiple accidents waiting to happen
blind corner not well marked ► Open40 South End Road New Haven, Connecticut
There is blind corner (mostly driving north from E. Haven to New Haven) without any shoulder. cars take this corner well over the speed limit and pose a hazard to all pedestrians, runners, biker, etc on the roads.
Please consider lowering the speed limit here (and enforcing it!), adding warning signs, and/or widen the shoulder.· Reported by Road Runner · Share · Flag Flagged
Road Runner (Registered User)
None of these issues seem to ever be addressed. This corner and others near by are a hazard to pedestrians. Something needs to be done- signs should be posted at least!!
Road Runner (Registered User)
No additional signage has been posted. I now must cross the street and run on the wrong side of the road to avoid being hit.
Road Runner (Registered User)
I don't understand - none of these reported issues ever seem to be addressed. Is the safety of the citizens of these towns not important to our elected officials?
Lost Dog ► OpenView Terrace East Haven, Connecticut
Mixed breed dog; brindle; male neutered; 60 lbs.; no collar; no microchip; if found call (203) 843-8847
Fire Department Could Have used better judgment. ► OpenCenter Street New Haven, Connecticut
Last night, entered Center Street parking lot about 5pm. There were no less than six firemen (three, who were just spectators) rendering assistance to a woman. Also, their fire engine was blocking all of Center St. (a narrow one way), forcing those leaving to go the wrong way down a one-way street. This was dangerous, and there was no reason for it, as all they had to do was park the fire engine in the empty parking lot.
I have great respect for the New Haven firefighters, but here, they really did not use logic, and they missed the boat. You don't make the public safer by putting more of them at risk to help one person.
CT Transit Bus dumping trash ► Open595-625 Foxon Road East Haven, CT 06512, USA

Before this playoff roster post gets too out of control I have a few things to say that will hopefully help to put things into perspective. Like how this is based off of daily roster changes, 9-cat, H2H, you know, like the RCLs. First off, everyone's playoff needs are entirely dependent on the makeup of their roster. It should be noted that this isn't just about maximizing games, it's also about helping to make up for our deficiencies. For example, If I had Chris Paul on my team then I'm only going to get 2 games in the first round. If I want to win let's say assists, then I need to stream accordingly. Second, I'm going to use the saying, "heavy day". While trying my hardest to avoid the feminine hygiene jokes I will be referring to whether or not that days NBA schedule has a lot of teams playing or just a few. This is important because on most heavy days you usually won't need to stream a player or you may have a player you won't get much from. For instance Boston plays Mon, Wed, Fri next week and Wed, Fri, Sun the following week. Wed and Fri are always heavy days and depending on the rest of your roster you may only get 1 game each week from say… Jerryd Bayless. That would make him just about useless. Third, I'm going to use 3-letter abbreviations for teams and days of the week. Otherwise this would get far too unwieldy to read and I would have to learn how to spell all of those cities. That's not going to happen, isn't learning the names of players enough?Please, blog, may I have some more?

It's finally here: All Star Weekend! It's a shortened week, so you get a shortened article. Like New Years Eve, I'm getting hyped up to be let down, the most common experience in life. I'd like to say I'm optimistic for the weekend's festivities, that the changes to the dunk competition will make the product exciting, but I'm not. Nevertheless, it's all about expectation. Take your fantasy squad: If you're like me, you enjoy having a player on your roster being named to the All-Star squad. From my perspective, it increases his value, even though we all know, that it really comes down to the numbers. But I have an expectation that players who have been named an All-Star will live up to that honour.
So now might be the time to buy an All-Star, who has the best part of the season (and his production) left, or to sell high on an All-Star who is overvalued. Understand that there are no steals here. You'll pay (or receive) for every player listed below. That said, here are a few names to consider:Please, blog, may I have some more?
So imagine you're heading into fantasy hoops last night, wondering what the headline would be. You knock on the mansion's door and Tim Curry is standing there all snippity-proper. You say, "Hey, Timmy, someone is gonna kill it tonight!" Could it be, Colonel Larry Sanders Mustard? Nope! His vision is too blurred to be the culprit. And no, it's not because he topped off his third bottle of Cristal just to have another blunt weapon, it's because he got poked in the eye! Could it be Reverend Jeff Green? No way, he had his big night a few games ago, we all know it'll be at least another two weeks until another good one! So it's surprise suspect #3, Professor Mason Plumlee, who went all Krzyzewki on the Pelicans leading the Nets in Pts Rebs Stls and Blks for a 22/13/0/3/2 line. Shot 8-10, 6-9 from the stripe, and made Anthony Davis lose a wee bit of hair on his Brow. "I'm supposed to be the high-flying big man in this game, Mason!" The crowd wasn't chanting MVP for ya in this one! Awww, that's mean. After playing under 12 minutes the previous two, Plumlee got 28+ in the past two games and productive in both. Keep Kevin Garnett at 13 minutes a game, Kidd! I think a good way to approach Plumlee right now is like James Johnson. Puts up solid stats all around (although a little less all-around than JJ) when he gets the minutes. I think he's gotten himself to fringe 12-team worthy depending on your roster comp. Definitely needs to get scooped up in deeper. I think enough minutes will be there for him to fill in some Pts/Rebs/Blks. Here's what else I saw over the weekend in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I might be making this up, but doesn't Denver play the Flavor Flav "Yeah Boy!" when Randy Foye hits a three? Well I hope they do! After a brutal Super Bowl for the Broncos (and America), the Denver populous got some slight redemption with Foye hitting this buzzer-beater last night. Sportscenter! But even with that game-winner, Foye had a rainbow flirt of 14/7/4/1/2. That's not ThrAGNOF! Even with Ty Lawson back, Foye is rackin' up multi-cat!? I haven't been a big Foye fan for shallower leagues this year – I thought he was constantly overvalued – but getting 16 dimes in his previous game then a nice all-around line last night with Ty-Ty back; I think I'm a little more a believer. Sure it's only one game against a fast-paced Clippers team, but 40+ minutes yet again last night and now in three straight games and Foye is looking pretty locked in for good value right now. Owned in 57% of Yahoo leagues seems a little thin. Show ya Foye a little Flavor of Love. Here's what else I saw last night in NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Whoa, domino.
We've seen it time and again in this year of NBA action, which has looked more like an episode of "E.R." wrapped inside a scene from "Grey's Anatomy" inside Nurse Jackie's scrubs than it has the FAN-tastic exhibition of athletic excellence constructed by now-ex-commish David Stern.
The injury domino effect has wreaked havoc everywhere in real life, wrecking players' seasons, sending some teams into tank mode while helping other teams tank.
In the fantasy world, the impact of these boo-boos has been equally killer for some owners and the big ones don't even need to be listed. You all know 'em.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Last time I'm gonna mention it, I'm not a masochist, but last week, I suggested that Terrance Ross should be dropped. Well, I think he may read my smelly little article, because homeboy went off for 51 with 10 treys, making me look a fool. Well, to Terrance I say: "I don't need any help looking like a fool, thank you very much!" I think I won that joust. But in all seriousness, there's a good lesson to be learned here: never drop slam dunk winners! Wait, whut? No, Daniel-san, the real lesson is no matter how good you are, you're gonna make mistakes in fantasy. I had Ross, and dropped him just in time to watch him put in a performance that would have won my week. But he had scored 14 points his previous 3 games, with not a lot of supporting stats, the drop was a good move, based on his numbers up to that point. I, like any good fantasy player, have to shake it off, and not beat myself up too much. So on that note, if you're still reading, you may want to know whom to buy and whom to sell, and to that I say, thank you, read on, but obviously, buyer beware!Please, blog, may I have some more?
I could tell what JB was thinking just from the look in his eyes, or what I could see of them, but he had to verbalize it, "Come on I really don't want to do this." I'm sure he didn't but a lost bet has consequences. It was time to go play some 2-on-2 tournament basketball and he looked ready. He was carrying his basketball in one hand, his sandals in the other, and sporting a bright orange and pink spandex leotard, which can you believe has to be special ordered. I thought the big and tall store would have a couple to choose from but they don't. Anyway where was I, oh yeah, and a matching blindfold with a couple tiny holes poked out. For safety. At this point there was no escaping our fate, JB knew that what he wanted was no longer relevant. When we finally arrived we were ready to ball. I knew we needed to make an impression so in a show of intimidation I threw my shirt off revealing my shiny black Tom Selleck-esque body fur, pulled my socks up high and tight, and mean mugged those fools as hard as I could.Please, blog, may I have some more?
When the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl in 2009, it was a great example of how the Sports Karma Gods can sometimes rush in after tragedy strikes to lift a city up and help it rebuild.
But then that was it. No more, said the Sports Karma Gods. Because since 2009, Big Easy sports fans have endured the Sean Payton scandal, the Chris Paul trade, the Hornets changing their name to the Pelicans, the freaking horrible uniforms for this year's NBA All-Star game and a rash of injuries not unlike the rash Candy Flanders gave me in my sophomore year of high school. Er, ah, moving on.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I'm sure we've all experienced a day in our lives that through some kind of grueling experience we somehow came out victorious. On the inside all we cared about was the instant satisfaction of winning but on the outside we appeared broken and defeated. Not so long ago I had such a night. It's not the shame that makes it so difficult to talk about, but the shame that there's a sense of glory and accomplishment that goes with it. JB and I decided a few drinks were in order one night and we decided, while watching some NBA action, to have ourselves a little drinking game. Sure I thought, I've had a few already how bad can this be? The deal was that we would pick a player and for each assist that player had the other person would have a drink. JB wanted it to be field goals made but I managed to talk him into assists, or so I thought. "Chris Paul", I said without hesitation. Looking back I probably had a really stupid smirk on my face. JB calmly ordered himself another, then he ordered me an appetizer – which looking back may have saved my life. With a perfectly calm demeanor I got to hear words that will still cause me to cringe, "Kendell Marshall".Please, blog, may I have some more?
Man… It just hasn't been the best few years for Kris Humphries… The divorce. The loss of a starting job. Traded as a dump to Boston. But he's actually been a pretty decent fantasy player lately, including getting a surprise starting nod last night, fairly under-the-radar. Unfortunately, none-a-dat-matters when watching last night's game! Man, talk about lucking out with the games I got this week, as I had Yahoo highlights for the Celtics at Clippers, and the now-infamous "Welcome to my Poster" dunk. Just dirty from Blake Griffin. If you didn't see where I cut the highlight, right after Ralph Lawler says "over, and over, and over…" it cuts back to Humphries who gives the easiest to lip read F bomb you could imagine. Hilarious! I lost my cookies all over the office. I shoulda put "And-one" on the highlight too, but my face melted. Getting back to fantasy, Blake can have his own poster this year, producing at a great rate and a great pick even for the unknowledgable NBA fan in your league who reached for him for the highlights. As I mentioned a month or so back, Griffin has been really good this year capped off with a 29/6/8/2/0/highlight of the year line last night. He showed us why fantasy hoops is underrated in the fantasy community. It beats football by actually requiring skill and not small-sample luck, and gives us the best highlights to shove it in the face of baseball. "Oh look, I had Ryan Howard on my team and he actually hit a homer, look at this moon shot!" "Pssshhhh, I had Blake in today and look at him murder Kris Humphries!" (full disclaimer I love fantasy baseball). Enjoy the ride if you nabbed Blake. Here's what else happened last night in the NBA:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Western Hills, Occidental.
I had been wanting to visit Western Hills in Occidental for quite a while. Kind of silly, because I only live 10 minutes away. I finally visited today (only open on Saturday, except tours) and it exceeded every expectation I had. I am so glad that this horticultural mecca is finally reopened, and if you are ever in this part of NorCal, I highly recommend visiting. I posted some pictures on Flickr, but I have to warn you, I missed a lot of plants because there was just so much to see! Everything there was megasized, Cordylines were upwards of 40ft!
Here is a link that might be useful: Western Hills Set
Shucks - to think I was just in the area and didn't visit! Thank you so much for posting this. Loved your photos and it will definitely be on my list for our next trip. We visit Sonoma Cty 3-4x a year and now I can hardly wait to go again!
So why are there so many wonderful nurseries and gardens in Sonoma and such a sad dearth of them in Napa, LOL??
Haha! You should be thanking your lucky stars, jkom! I spend way too much at the nurseries, you can't drive down the 116 without passing about a million of them, they're a dime a dozen, and of course I have to stop in every one of them, with no intention of buying anything, then I come out with a cartful of plants...
It is a very different garden than it used to be but just as special. The trees have grown (and many have become magnificent specimens, like the Zelkova near the house) and the canopy makes the garden much more shaded than it was when I first began visiting in the mid-80s. The new owners and manager (along with a dedicated crew of volunteers) have really done a wonderful job. I was afraid to go back but finally nerved myself last summer and was so glad that I did.
I was stunned when I visited, I could not believe the size and presence of the plants, especially realizing that the garden was neglected for years. I saw many new areas that were under construction, so I plan on visiting throughout, and taking plenty of pictures. I feel blessed to live so close to this amazing place. Also I should note that they were selling and propagating plants, but I don't know if they plan on reopening as a full-blown nursery, I got the feeling that they were focusing more on the preservation aspect. When I spoke to the garden manager, she said that this was the best time of year to visit, but I can't imagine a time when it wouldn't be, even in the middle of January it would have plenty of interest.
What impressed me the most were the Restios, they were some of the largest specimens I had ever seen!
Elegia capensis:
The photo doesn't really do it justice, but I am now on the hunt for an Elegia. And about a million other plants I saw there!
If you are near Sebastopol, Peacock Horticultural Nursery on 116 carries a lot of restios. Also try Emerisa Gardens in Santa Rosa.
I'm in Santa Rosa, and Peacock and Emerisa are two of my favorite nurseries, I got my Rhodocoma capensis from Peacock, but haven't seen the Elegia being sold, but he does have the best selection of Restios in our area.
I am glad everyone has enjoyed the virtual tour!

Starting college is nerve racking enough without all of the added pressure from the newfound freedom that college freshmen receive every year. Besides getting used to the college atmosphere, students also have to make their own decisions about how they will conduct themselves because technically their behavior no longer requires parental approval.
Some students let the excitement of staying out all night and partying ruin their chances of having any academic success. They abuse their newfound freedom by not being responsible enough to limit the amount of socializing that they do. Excessive partying can lead to flunking out of school or a poor transcript/resume to pass on to future employers or grad school admission committees. Personally, I can't imagine how hard it would be to explain to my parents that I flunked out of school because I got caught up in the party life that affects hundreds of students every year.
On the other end of the spectrum, some students use their newfound freedom to improve their lives. They gain their own independence and choose to discipline themselves by going to class each day, turning in all assignments and immersing themselves in positive college activities. These students make meaningful connections and use their networking skills to meet their future employers and others who will help them become successful.
Whether or not your college career takes a good or bad turn depends on how you decide to use your freedom. You can use it as a way to make yourself more independent from your parents and prepare yourself for the future...or you can treat life like one big party, neglect your studies and end up either on academic probation or not having things go the way you planned. It takes self-discipline to balance your schoolwork and social life so that it will benefit you in the future.
Jessica Seals is currently a senior at the University of Memphis majoring in political science and minoring in English. At the University of Memphis, she is the secretary of the Pre-Law Society, the philanthropy chair of the Phi Kappa Phi Student Council and a member of Professional Assertive United Sisters of Excellence (PAUSE), Golden Key Honor Society, Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, Sigma Alpha Lambda Honor Society, and Black Scholars Unlimited. She also volunteers to tutor her fellow classmates and hopes to attend law school in the near future.

Have you ever watched "MythBusters," the show that scientifically tests myths and urban legends, like are elephants really afraid of mice or is it possible to walk on water? Now, I may not have a crash test dummy named Buster, but I do have two years of dorm life, on- and off-campus adventures and brutal assignments under my belt. Therefore, I bring to you "MythBusters: The College Edition."
Myth 1 – College is a constant party. Thirsty Thursday is a very real phenomenon. There are people that go out partying on Mondays. Some students come to class still drunk from the night before. But if you venture into the library on Friday evening, there are people there. College is hard work, it's not all "Animal House."
Myth 2 – Dorm life is disgusting. Yes, the toilets and sinks may clog occasionally and your roommate could be a vile person who steals your food and leaves garbage on your bed. But if everyone's respectful, bathrooms are honestly fine and you may end up loving your freshman roommate and living together for multiple years...like me and mine!
Myth 3 – Professors don't care. High school teachers beat this one into your brain, right? College professors may not remind you about daily readings but they will let you know when a test or big assignment is coming up and are happy to answer questions about them.
Myth 4 – You'll gain weight. Eat normal-sized portions, throw in a vegetable here and there and hit the gym. This very simple recipe will ensure the Freshman 15 doesn't even cross your mind...or waistline.
Myth 5 – You're going to change your major numerous times. It's fine if you do but if you know what you want to study and still love it after taking a few classes, you probably won't. Don't feel weird about not changing your major: Some people are just focused...you're lucky if you're one of them!
Darci Miller is a New Yorker studying journalism and sport administration at the University of Miami. 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!
Katie Askew
It's the last few weeks of high school and you're already feeling nostalgic. Your final band concert has been performed, your final basketball game has been played, your last student council meeting has been attended and you may be feeling sentimental because your intended major doesn't fit the things you were passionate about in high school. Fear not: You don't need to leave your extracurricular activities behind just because you're heading to college!
I was in the same place you were last year. My final decision to major in journalism and English felt like an abrupt end to my music career...but boy, was I wrong. It's important to keep involved in your passions through extracurriculars while also pursuing your major, especially if your passions span a wide range of interests. For example, I attended the Society of Professional Journalists meetings through the School of Journalism and Mass Communication while also performing with the University Concert Band (a performance group for non-music majors) and working as a drumline instructor at a suburban high school. I made time for the things I love outside of my major and I can honestly say that my music groups kept me sane during stressful school times.
The most important lesson is to not feel defined by your major. Simply because you are a biomedical engineering major doesn't mean you can't be an ambitious thespian or star volleyball player. Student groups are just the place to meet your needs – the University of Minnesota has over 700 student groups to choose from! – and if you can't find a group that matches your passions, you can join another interesting one (like the Campus People Watchers) or create your own!
So in terms of extracurricular activities in college, the sky is the limit...unless you join the skydiving club.
Katie Askew is a freshman at the University of Minnesota pursuing degrees in journalism and English. At school, Katie can be found reading, drumming or working in the Office of Admissions. Outside of school, she enjoys traveling, performing or teaching music and spending time outdoors with friends and family. Katie loves all things zebra and has a necessary addiction to coffee. Her iPod is perpetually playing Death Cab for Cutie or classical music because she truly believes that when words fail, music speaks.

During my senior year in high school, I sent out applications not only to schools in my home state of California but to schools in Rhode Island, Washington and even England. I ultimately decided to stay in California because while going to a school in a different state or country sounded appealing and fun, it was just too unrealistic for me. Why? Location mattered.
Attending college in a different state can often times cost a fortune - not only are you paying out-of-state tuition rates (this doesn't really apply to those going to private universities; they're expensive regardless of where you live and attend) but you have to pay an arm and a leg to travel home for holidays and summer break. Also, there's that issue of being away from your family: If you're like me and have younger siblings, you want to be able to go to their basketball games and celebrate their birthdays. I knew that if I went too far from home, I would get too homesick and not enjoy my time at college.
Now I have nothing against those people who attend school in a different state – in fact, two of my closest friends at school are from Washington and Colorado – I'm just saying to think about what's best for you. Can you afford the expenses? Can you stand to be away from your family? These are questions to ask yourself because you can still go away to school and be close to your family. I do...it's just a matter of picking the right college. I go to a university that's about 90 minutes from home; this is enough distance so that I feel like I have my own life here at school but am close enough that I can go home on the weekends if I want.

As a veteran PC user and a current Mac enthusiast, I can advise you on both sides of the PC vs. Mac argument better than those silly commercials ever could.
Purchasing your computer can be one of the most crucial decisions in your college career. Clearly, it is one of the most expensive purchases, but also it is something you will use every single day so you need to make sure it is right for you. Much like my article about roommates, you need to evaluate yourself before you run to that glossy Apple store or start customizing a Dell online.
The best place to start is with your intended major. As a freshman, I know it's hard to pinpoint exactly what you'll be studying but if you are enrolled in the College of Fine Arts for graphic design, the easy-to-use design applications on Macs are vital for an artist. If you are in the College of Engineering and need to use programs like Excel, PCs would be better. I know some business students that have both PCs and Macs because their Macs didn't have some of the tools required for the courses they were taking.
I had a PC for my first two years of college but switched to a Mac this past year. As a communications major, I have a lot of presentations and Photoshop files on my desktop; having a Mac made compiling, combining and organizing these files much simpler than with a PC. But be wary that sending files from Mac to PC don't always translate the way you want them to: I had an unfortunate incident when my "Scarlet Fever" campaign appeared hot pink on my professor's screen.
In short, Macs have many benefits but PCs are still the preferred computer in most classrooms. Test-drive both models for your intended purposes and make sure they fit your needs before plunking down the plastic.

She is part of Kappa Delta at BU and has loved every second of it; she is also involved in Public Relations Student Society of America and Ed on Campus. Anna was born in the Republic of Georgia and considers herself a citizen of the world because she's lived in Russia, England, France, Brooklyn and Connecticut. She hopes to someday work in healthcare administration communication. She loves to travel, run and learn.

When the campus dormitories have run their course and you are ready to have a room bigger than a closet, living in off-campus housing can be an exciting experience. Be forewarned, however, that you may have to deal with pests. No, I'm not talking about rude, unkempt roommates but insects, rodents and other undomesticated animals.
As a college student, you may have never dealt with a pest on your own before. I sure hadn't...until recently. During finals week, I heard scratching in my ceiling. I ignored it but after returning from a week-long trip, the source of the scratching revealed itself. I screamed, "it" crawled into the ceiling and I covered the holes with duct tape, still not knowing what the creature was. I called my landlord but he was out of town and said he'd take care of it on Monday. That weekend, a friend and I heard the scratching again, this time from the kitchen. "There it is!" screamed my friend as I tried to chase "it" out the door. "It" jumped behind the couch then flew back into the kitchen (I had no idea that "it" could fly!). My friend held a pot so we could capture "it" but when "it" ran toward her, she panicked and dropped the pot on top of the creature, paralyzing it. "It" – what we later found out was a flying squirrel – died soon after.
So off-campus dwellers, if you hear animal noises or have a large amount of insects inside your rental unit, call your landlord immediately. It's their responsibility to get rid of the problem for you and if he or she doesn't or refuses to help, he or she is breaking the law.

On days like today, it's hard to get out of bed, let alone head out to an early morning class. True, your professor may not notice you're missing from their 8 a.m. 300-person lecture now but it could get more difficult to skip class in the near future.
Case in point: De Montfort University in Leicester, England is considering monitoring student attendance via electronic chips in their ID cards. Unlike attendance-monitoring programs introduced at other institutions, De Montfort's would be completely automated and, according to the minutes from a recent meeting of the school's executive board, combining Wi-Fi and RFID technologies would make for "the most foolproof way of monitoring attendance."
The National Union of Students warned that members would "balk at the prospect of being treated like inmates under surveillance" and I have to agree. Students don't need to be monitored and penalized for lack of attendance; it's their decision whether or not to go to class and their participation and overall grades will reflect that choice. Do you think this attendance monitoring system (or attendance monitoring in college in general) is a good idea or a bad idea and why?

When people hear I'm getting ready to leave on my third study abroad, there are no questions asked – just resentful looks that say 'Well, aren't you the cultured little rich girl.' Okay, maybe the looks aren't that venomous but the idea holds true. If you are considering studying abroad but think you can't afford it, listen up: You can.
My first study abroad was paid for in the way many people pay for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land: through money left by my grandparents. There was something tender about imagining my grandfather working hard as a schoolteacher and saving every penny – pennies that would one day take me to Jerusalem. But the inheritance-type funds had run dry when I was asked to go to Southeast Asia for a summer, so my second study abroad saw a more creative, financial-finagling me.
The first step in paying for a semester of international intrigue is finding funding from your home institution. Most international study programs have discount or program-specific scholarships. Also, make sure you fill out the FAFSA to get a Pell grant if you're eligible. Not everyone knows those government pick-me-ups can be applied to international study...but now you do. Go after one!
There are study abroad-specific scholarships all over the Internet (Scholarships.com is rich with financial opportunities that can be applied). The Phi Kappa Phi Study Abroad Scholarship and the Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship are two of the most well-known sources of study abroad funding, plus oodles of country-specific and area of study specific-grants.
If you are persistent about diversifying your sources of funding, studying abroad can be less expensive than staying on campus. The most important thing is not to let the cost of a plane ticket or the dollar-to-euro exchange rate scare you away from what will be a fulfilling experiences in your young life. There's no rule that says only rich kids can travel; if you dream of pyramids or tropical breezes, stop dreaming and start doing. Bonus: Studying abroad provides rich material for grad school application essays.

Deciding what to major in is an important and complicated decision. With that in mind, you may wonder why anyone would decide to take on two majors. Double majors can be great for someone who is stuck between two options they find equally interesting. It can also be great for those who aren't feeling challenged enough by the classes in the major they've already declared. Here are some things to consider when figuring out if a double major is right for you.
How far in your college career are you? Depending on how many credits you've already taken, a double major could mean extra time in school. Is investing the time and money it would take to achieve your double major feasible?
Consider what you're giving up. I'm not just talking about free time here...although a double major does have the potential to be time consuming. Double majoring means not taking electives – classes some students prefer over focusing solely on two subject areas.
How are you doing so far? If you've already declared one major, what's your standing? If you're struggling with your current major, taking on another may not be the best idea. If you're unhappy with your major but don't want to drop it because of the time you've invested, consider this: It may take you the same amount of time to start over with another major that you enjoy than it would to double major and keep the major you're unhappy with.
In addition to these tips, consult your parents, advisor or other double majors (the latter will be able to offer valuable first-hand insight) but ultimately, the decision must be made by you and you alone. I myself recently made the decision to double major and can say I'm very happy about it. Whatever your decision, I hope you find the same happiness!

perpetual motion
Another unsuccessful attempt to create perpetual motion by violating the first law of thermodynamics was the closed-cycle water mill, such as one proposed by the English physician Robert Fludd in 1618. Fludd erred in thinking that the energy created by water passing over a mill wheel would exceed the energy required to get the water back up again by means of an Archimedes screw.

Children who are excluded from discussions about their hospital care often feel scared and angry that no-one is listening to them or telling them what is going on.

Linda A. Johnson, AP The cost of prescription medicines used by millions of people every day is about to plummet. The next 14 months will bring generic versions of seven of the world's 20 best-selling drugs, including cholesterol fighter Lipitor and blood thinner Plavix. The magnitude of this wave of expiring drugs patents is unprecedented.
Is Anesthesia Dangerous?July 22, 2011 5:30 am | Comments
In pure numerical terms, anesthesia-associated mortality has risen again. The reasons for this are the disproportionate increase in the numbers of older and multimorbid patients and surgical procedures that would have been unthinkable in the past. This is the result of a selective literature review of André Gottschalk's working group at the Bochum University Hospital in the current issue of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International ( Dtsch Arztebl Int 2011; 108[27]: 469-74).

When Injured Muscles Mistakenly Grow BonesJuly 22, 2011 5:29 am | Comments
For hundreds of thousands of people, injuring a muscle through an accident like falling off a bike or having surgery can result in a strange and serious complication. Their muscles start growing bones. No one understood what caused the abnormal bone growth, so there was no treatment. But now, research from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania shows that a neuropeptide in the brain called Substance P appears to trigger the formation of the extraskeletal bone.
Hospital Bacteria Outbreak Linked To Nasal SprayJuly 22, 2011 5:29 am | Comments

(AP) — The nation's largest pediatricians' group has issued its first policy on protecting children from sexual abuse by doctors, citing a recent Delaware case and urging medical facilities to screen employees for previous abuse.

A New Approach To Primary Care: PreventionJuly 20, 2011 6:58 am | Comments
Tom Murphy, AP A budding model for primary care that encourages the family doctor to act as a health coach who focuses as much on preventing illness as on treating it has shown promising results and saved insurers millions of dollars. Growth in emergency room visits and hospital admissions slowed and prescription drug costs have been tamed with this approach, known in the industry as patient-centered medical homes, or just medical homes.
Strategies For Expediting Hip Fracture SurgeryJuly 20, 2011 6:43 am | Comments
An economic study in the current issue of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) identifies two cost-effective strategies for hospitals to expedite surgery in hip fracture patients, and potentially improve patient outcomes. "Recent studies suggest that mortality within one year after hip fracture repair increases significantly if the time from hospital admission to surgery exceeds 48 hours and that systems-based factors contribute to delay in surgery," said Christopher J.
