Errors Bite Men's Volleyball as St. Francis Rallies for 3-2 Win on Tuesday Night
March 6, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. St. Francis University rallied all the way from down two sets to score a 3-2 (23-25, 21-25, 25-20, 26-24, 15-13) marathon victory over host Pfeiffer University in NCAA I mens volleyball action on Tuesday night. The Red Flash improve to 9-10 overall on the year while the Falcons dip to 11-4.
In the opener, Pfeiffer never had a lead until the final points of the set grabbing their largest lead of the set when winning by two. Trailing by as much as three at 18-15, a Quentin Moore (Richmond, VA) kill would quietly start the rally as a later David Frazee (West Palm Beach, FL) kill tied the match at 20-20. Konstantin Weise (Berlin, GERMANY) would briefly put the Falcons up 22-21 until back-to-back kills by Alex Kane (York, PA) and Mark Kochan (Towaco, NJ) forced a Pfeiffer timeout with the Red Flash up 23-22. From there, back-to-back Moore kills and a service ace from Eric Edelman (Henrietta, NY) would put the Falcons up 1-0 in the match.
In set two, Pfeiffer wouldnt look back after a Wiese kill put the hosts up 4-3 early as the Falcons would later race out to a 16-10 lead on a pair of kills by Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA) and another kill from Edelman. A Weise ace would make it 19-13 until three-straight attack errors by the Falcons brought St. Francis to within one also using a Kane kill. Edelman and Moore would produce the sets final kills with a Red Flash attack error in between for a 25-21 set win and a 2-0 lead in the match.
Tied 16-16 in set three after another Wiese putdown, two-straight attack errors by the Falcons would give the Red Flash just enough cushion to stave off a sweep. Two Kane kills and a Michael Krepp (Pittsburgh, PA) kill would post St. Francis out to a 21-19 lead before four more Pfeiffer errors gave the Red Flash a 25-20 set victory and new life.
Set four needed extra points to decide a winner as a Brophy ace and attack error by St. Francis squared the set at 22-all. With set point, 24-23, Pfeiffer got a second chance on a Red Flash attack miscue, before turning right around and faulting twice themselves to give the visitors their final set point needed.
The fifth and final set saw Pfeiffer get out to an 11-8 lead after Brophys final kill of the night until errors again plagued the Falcons as an Adam Roche (Cochranton, PA) kill even the set at a dozen apiece. After two more Pfeiffer attack errors, St. Francis would use a service error by the hosts to secure the 15-13 set and 3-2 match win.
The marathon match saw 46 situations with a tie score and 18 lead changes. Pfeiffer committed 54 errors in the match, 37 on the attack hitting just .176 in the loss. St. Francis hit .241 in the win led by Kanes 18 kills while using 17 total team blocks on defense. Brophy would end up with 18 for the Falcons in the loss.
Pfeiffer returns to action at home on Thursday hosting Sacred Heart for an afternoon tilt beginning at 3:00 p.m. Live video and live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

My first experience with "real" tea was at a Zen monastery located near my childhood home. Tea was often a welcome respite during the day's visit. I've come to appreciate and enjoy most teas - from the hearty Assams and earthy Pu-Erhs to the exquisite Darjeelings and the most ephemeral whites. My days usually progress with the aid of several cups.
This southern African herbal produces a liquor with a full, rich flavor and honey/peppery notes. When I want to get creative, I blend equal parts of Lapacho (BH33), Rooibos (BA14), and this Honeybush (BA24). This blend is flavorful, sweet, and full of antioxidants, polyphenols, and even some phytoestrogens.
I have grown fond of this tea through tea parties with my two year old. 1/2 Rooibos and 1/2 milk seems to be a good mix. He let's me know when I don't get it right when he spits it out and says "yucky".
This blend reminds me of a Lapcho style Darjeeling. A full level of pungency with "toasty" notes. This tea will support a little milk, but I usually drink it plain.
One of my favorite afternoon beverages, and a great addition to a sushi meal. Sweet delicate notes and a gentle herbaceous character.
I love the full flavored cup, with the thick, almost brothy mouth feel. Good umami. Relatively pricey, (and yes, it is nice not to have to pay for tea) but good for multiple infusions. Don't pooh-pooh multiple infusions, one gets additional caffeine, flavor and enjoyment from the 2nd and subsequent brewing.

Fresh off of signing a two-year, $2.8 million deal with the Cleveland Browns, Quentin Groves has been arrested for attempting to solicit the services of a prostitute.

Who cares?
No way!! a player solicited a prostitute! This has to be a first
If she wasn't underage who cares. There's no difference between giving her a $50 or spending $50 on a dinner and drinks for her.
I really am sick of these FEMALE COPS posing as prositutes just to catch guys wanting sex. If they weren't offering it, this so called crime wouldn't happen. This is what our tax money pays for? There should only be female cops for stand-by on the the arrest of another female. There are certain thing in this world that just don't make sense, and FEMALE COPS are near the top of the list. The ones that patrol are useless, because even if they stop a 92 year old Grandma, there has to be back-up called. It's just a very stupid thing in this country.
Awwwww, that's too bad - don't solicit prostitutes (which are illegal) and you won't get arrested. Call 1-800-WAAA to talk to someone who cares....
I read and re-read this article and please tell me WHERE it says that the prostitute was female? The article was so gender neutral I would bet it was a guy.
Again, he's a big boy. Leave him alone and let him get the monkey spanked. Who cares.
The man is worth millions and all he was going to pay was $195. She must have been dog butt ugly.
Hell my ex wife is worth more than $195.
Maybe she didn't think you were worth it.
I am sick of hearing about prostitution stings. Police budgets bulging at the seams why is so much money being spent on victimless crimes? There is plenty of real crimes to go around.
Kind of a waste of time for law enforcement.
How stupid. What an inane exercise for the police to spend their time and taxpayer's money on. Shameful government exercise.
I believe the officer should be arrested for offering her services.The cops should be guarding our borders if they wanna do something beneficial to us all.
It was all a calculated marketing ploy. The minimal pennance he will pay is money well spent. "Magnum condoms";His stock with the concubines just went through the roof!
how do we know he "was going to be safe about it"? did they catch him wearing the birth control device? hmm? nice signing browns lol and loluck. "here we go brownies, here we go...here we go brownies..."
It was the hair,if it wasnt from india the cop wouldnt have been pissed that his hair looked better than hers!!
I face this dilemma all the time ...I,ll bet it was a black female cop who get gotten her weave wet!!!!She was allegedly on her way to get her hair did! Somethings rotten on the ho stroll!!!
The guy wasn't paying for sex! He could get sex whenever he wants to. He was paying for her to leave after!
This is ridiculous. Police budgets in most jurisdictions have been slashed. They no longer have the resources to effectively deal with violent crime much less dealing with this nonsense. If government were intelligent, they would find ways to generate much needed tax revenue by legalizing prostitution.This way it can be regulated.This makes infinitely more sense than to prosecute and embarass private citizens
That's because you don't know what you're talking about! In Las Vegas alone there are over 200,000 prostitutes diagnosed with HIV...so I don't know about you, but if stings like these aren't in the best interest of the public, then I don't know what is.
You are an ignorant idiot who doesn't know his facts and has a hugely flawed argument. Vegas only has 300 confirmed HIV infected prostitutes (not alot compared to other large cities) How can you argue that legalizing it would increase HIV rates when the girls are required to go into a Drs office for an HIV test every month in the state of NV. Regulating it would increase safety and also reduce the undesirable elements ( pimps, human traffickers,etc).

Foolish Mistakes
Few aviators complete their careers without escaping dangerous incidents, usually when they have little flying experience. Local columnist Jimmy Reed relates the stories of his two big escapes, one when attempting a foolish maneuver and the other when he almost hit another aircraft. (April 26, 2011, Page 4)

Exactly what I was looking for. The carved wood font is incredible.
Perfect for a fall wedding
I loved this design for a save the date for my fall wedding and got tons of compliments on how cute it was from guests who received it! It was easy to customize and I liked how simple it was too.
Such a fantastic experience.
So easy to work with and the order came so quickly! There wa even a day i needed to call and keep order on hold in case our wedding website address would change and they did so then waited to hear from me before printing. The only issue u had was the card I received had an expired savings code but they still honored it, I just had to make a note. Very fast processing and shipping with excellent communication. . Looks amazing! Will buy initiations soon!
Beautiful Design
Our order came out great! We special ordered ours (changed format) and she did a great job making it look amazing! Everything looked so much better than I ever anticipated, and the designer even caught MY mistake in the writing :)
Love My Postcards!
Ordered the "carved in love" postcards to use as wedding invitations which fit our theme perfectly. Received the cards in a beautiful box, the quality of the cards was superb and we have received many compliments so far. Unique way to invite guests.

He bought a round of drinks for a group of us a couple of weeks back at a local Eugene nightclub. I did not know he'd be there.
Everybody here at school has known about his conviction, including myself, since last year.
Since hearing about his arrest and conviction last year, it's interesting that I see this guy performing and socializing in Eugene all the time, awaiting, I imagine, his sentence. He seems to have a cosmopolitan and magnetic personality that attracts people ("I'm friends with an international fraud criminal!"). He also has money, and buys rounds of drinks for groups.
When I ask myself why anybody would want to hang out with this criminal, I wonder if I'm being too harsh. What do you think?

A 13-year-old boy from the Sunbury area could be held in a youth detention facility until the age of 21 after changing his plea Wednesday on charges that he killed his mother's fiance.
The boy, whom the Gazette is not naming because of his age, admitted that he shot and killed 38-year-old Jeffrey Reece April 23. In a plea deal with prosecutors, the boy admitted to one count of involuntary manslaughter with a gun specification, a lesser offense than his original charge of murder.
The "serious youth offender" indictment, which would have allowed prosecutors to increase the maximum sentence the boy could receive if convicted, was also dismissed as part of the plea deal.
The boy and his 33-year-old mother, whom the Gazette is also not identifying, had lived with Reece in a barn on Stockwell Road in Trenton Township for about six months before the shooting.
Appearing in court Wednesday in a green juvenile detention facility jumpsuit and handcuffs the boy described what led to the shooting.
"On the night it happened, Jeff woke up, and he was very agitated," the boy told Judge Kenneth Spicer.
"Him and my mom got into a fight, and it started to escalate," the boy continued. "I felt very threatened and afraid. I went upstairs, got a gun and loaded it and sat on the stairsteps. He went after my mom, and I shot him twice."
Spicer set a sentencing, date for 9 a.m. Jan. 11, 2012, where it will be decided how long the boy will be confined to a detention center. Prosecutors said he will spend at least two years in the custody of the Department of Youth Services (DYS) and could stay until he is 21 years old.
The boy was scheduled to face a two-week jury trial on Nov. 28. He faces a minimum of two years in a youth detention facility with the possibility of staying until he is 21 years old. The gun specification carries a penalty of one to three years in a detention facility, which he will be required to serve prior to time received for the involuntary manslaughter charge.
The boy remains detained at the Central Ohio Youth Center in Marysville where he has been detained since April. His mother also attended the court hearing, but declined to speak to the press.
In the early morning hours of April 23, the boy called 911 and told a dispatcher he shot Reece after Reece threatened the boy and his mother with a shotgun. The boy's mother later told the dispatcher her son shot Reece a second time while he laid bleeding on the ground to make sure he was dead.

This evening, fans of ABC's Revenge may be in for a surprise. The freshman drama has been replaced by an ABC special with a similar name — Revenge for Real. That's no doubt the network's attempt to attract regular viewers to watch a news special. So, has the real Revenge been cancelled? When will it be back?
For those who aren't familiar with the TV series, Revenge revolves around Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp), a young woman who comes to the Hamptons with a secret agenda; to exact vengeance on the wealthy people who ruined her family's life and reputation. The drama also features the talents of Ashley Madekwe, Christa B. Allen, Connor Paolo, Gabriel Mann, Henry Czerny, Joshua Bowman, Madeleine Stowe, and Nick Wechsler.
Revenge debuted to a healthy 3.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.0 million total viewers. Week two saw the all-important demo fall 18% and week three dropped another 11%. Over the next several weeks, the ratings rose and fell, dropping as low as a 2.1 demo rating.
The way things were going, it looked like Revenge might be heading for the cancellation pile — like so many failed ABC dramas that had come before it — but the numbers evened off and the show's been averaging a healthy 2.5 in the demo in 2012. While the show isn't a big ratings hit, it certainly isn't a flop either. Revenge's demo average is actually stronger than that of aging shows like Castle and Private Practice.
Unfortunately, ABC has now put the series on hiatus for four weeks — a bit of a scheduling gamble that could seriously hurt viewership.
ABC News' Revenge for Real will take over for two weeks and then repeats of a new Thursday night drama, Missing, will fill the slot for two weeks after that. Revenge isn't slated to return until April 4th. It's unclear if that night will feature a repeat or one of the six remaining originals.
The way things stand right now, it looks like a sure bet that Revenge will be renewed for a second season. Hopefully, enough viewers will return to watch the show after the hiatus so the ratings don't drop and put the series' future in jeopardy.
UPDATE: Revenge will now return on April 11th with a recap show. An original regular episode will air on April 18th and the finale will run on May 23rd.
What do you think? Will this hiatus cause the ratings to drop or do you think Revenge is assured of a season two renewal?

BE WISE RANCH regarding the Eye Gnat issue in San Pasqual Valley.
by Bill Brammer
BeWiseRanchEvent2_2_12 to stay up to date about the threat to Be Wise Ranch from neighbors in San Pasqual Valley..
LOCAL NEWS: We rely on the organic food from Be Wise Ranch. It is important to stay up to date with issue and see how we can help. You can also keep up to date on the Facebook page for Slow Food San Diego
See the post page for more comments and post yourself. http://slowfoodsandiego.wordpress.com/2012/01/30/be-wise-ranch-event-222012/
At the Eye Gnat meeting last night, (I guessed 350 people) they said they were going to take comments for the next ten days that would go to the County Board of Supervisors. 1 comment per day per person in a household can be sent. Now is the time to make your voice heard in support of Be Wise Farm, they have been working with the county and coming up with solutions they just need the time to implement them and test them. Some people with the problem in their yards do not want to allow that time and I am sure they will be writing their comments each and every day. Here is the website with information and reports about the issue. http://www.sdvector.com/ – They also have 2 designs for traps that you can make yourself. People who had the problem on their property wanted to know where these could be commercially purchased or what steps (pesticides they could use themselves). If you know of some solutions let them know in your letter. Some of the neighbors appreciate Organics and some do not.

The 2012 London Olympics are almost here, so we've rounded up our favorite British beauty products and trends
Admittedly, I am a sucker for ornate pomp and circumstance, and so I always tune into the Summer Olympics. I may not be a professional athlete (I'll stick to Pilates, thank you very much) but I love the thrill of the opening ceremony, and this year the event is taking place across the pond in fabulously chic London, so I'm even more excited than usual.
We have so many reasons to love London and the UK: "Downton Abbey," Kate and William, Adele, Harry Potter. In honor of the 2012 Olympics, we've rounded up a few of our favorite British beauty products and trends, since it's no secret that the Brits know beauty.
Click here to see our favorite British beauty products and trends.
I realized just how much the British know beauty when I studied abroad in London during college. After a semi-gross meal of bangers and mash at a pub, I wandered into a Boots pharmacy. I was amazed at the endless selection of awesome products in the makeup aisle. When it came to London's fashion and beauty, the city had me covered.
I may be back in the U.S. now, but that doesn't mean I have fallen out of love with London. From Twiggy's mod influence to English products like Butter London nail polish, my fellow Beauty Riot editors and I have compiled the ultimate list of British beauty trends and products that we think deserve a shiny gold medal.

The true cost of a college education is seldom the number that's printed in school brochures and on various college comparison lists. When you figure in federal aid, scholarships, grants, room and board, books and supplies, that price fluctuates. One thing remains constant - higher education doesn't come cheap - but a new poll finds students are willing to stretch their finances for several key factors.
In April, right up until enrollment deadlines, students were still considering "too expensive" schools and were willing to stretch to pay for their education, poll conductors the College Board and the Art & Science Group report. While it would be more financially sound to select the school with the lower tuition and better financial aid package, "too expensive" colleges remained in play if they had strong academics in students' fields of interest, were places students felt comfortable, had prestigious academic reputations or had excellent records of graduate school acceptance or good job placement after students graduated. Here's the breakdown:
If you think back to every award show you've ever seen, you'll recall those who do not win always say it is an honor just to be nominated. The same can be said for college admissions: It's an amazing achievement to be accepted to a prestigious college but is attending worth it if the cost of attendance is going to drive you and your family into debt?
December 31, 2010
Ladies and gentlemen, prospective and current college students, I (or the federal government, rather) give you the 2011-2012 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Hooray!
Vacuum up the confetti because it's time to get down to business. January 1st marks the first day college-bound seniors, continuing undergraduate and graduate students, and their parents can begin filling out the FAFSA online. Completing the FAFSA is a vital part of the college process: The Department of Education uses it to determine eligibility for federal student financial aid for college. This aid includes federal grant programs (such as the Pell Grant), federal work study, and federal student loans; it is also used by states to determine eligibility for their college aid programs, such as state grants. Colleges also use the FAFSA to determine eligibility for the need-based aid programs they administer and, finally, many scholarship opportunities request FAFSA information as part of their application processes. Even if you think that you won't qualify for free money in the form of need-based college scholarships and grants, you should still apply. At the minimum, the vast majority of students qualify for Stafford Loans, low-interest federal student loans that represent one of the best deals in borrowing and paying for school.
Submission deadlines vary by state (verify yours sooner than later here) so, as with any sort of college funding, we recommend you complete the FAFSA as early as possible because funds do run out. For more information, visit the official FAFSA website or review our federal aid pages. Happy filing (and New Year)!
April 26, 2011
If you are attending college, you probably need some form of financial aid to pay for tuition, room and board, books and other living expenses. Next year, it's likely you'll need a little bit more.
The Columbus Dispatch recently reported the number of students in the U.S. who have filed forms for federal financial aid for the 2011-2012 academic year has increased by about 1 million from last year. At Ohio State alone, requests are up about 10,600 from two years ago - a 22-percent jump, says financial aid director Diane Stemper. Ohio University's Sondra Williams reports a similar trend with a 12-percent increase in federal financial aid applications. The reasons for the increased need aren't surprising. "Many people who used to have the resources to send their children to college have lost their jobs or been downsized," Stemper said, adding lower home and stock values and rising food and gas prices are also culprits.
Though more students are getting the aid they require – OSU has seen an increase in Pell Grant recipients enrolled and OU has more students receiving subsidized loans – the financial relief may be short-lived: Governor John Kasich's state budget proposal has public universities in Ohio could increasing tuition by up to 3.5 percent. Current undergraduate and graduate students, do you need more financial aid now than you did when you first enrolled? High schoolers and incoming freshman, how do you plan to pay for school?
June 23, 2011
How much will it cost to attend the school of your dreams? The federal government hopes its new law will make that question easier to answer but higher education experts have their doubts where accuracy is concerned.
By this October, the federal government will require all U.S. higher education institutions to offer net price calculators on their websites so prospective college students can easily compare attendance costs earlier in their college searches. Users will be asked questions about their financial and academic backgrounds and their answers – and the calculator's tallies of tuition, fees, books, housing and food, minus scholarships and grants – will reveal the net price to attend that particular school. Though many experts are glad students will have access to this information, accuracy is a concern. Certain factors won't be taken into consideration because direct student-to-school contact has been eliminated; for example, Washington University is willing to adjust financial aid packages if a parent loses their job and this might not be reflected in the calculators' answers.
It's likely the law will be revised to make side-by-side comparison more accurate before the calculators are implemented - read more about the net price calculators in today's St. Louis Post-Dispatch - but would you use this new technology or do you think it's still too early to glean accurate information?
August 24, 2011
There are lots of ways students and their parents can pay for college – at Scholarships.com, we're familiar with nearly 3 million options – and many begin socking away funds early on. As admirable as this timely planning is, a new study shows it won't come close to covering the ever-rising cost of higher education.
Boston-based Fidelity Investments has revealed that while 67 percent of parents surveyed have put money into some sort of college fund this year, current and expected savings project the typical American family will only be able to pay for 16 percent of college costs when the time comes. Why? Many factors contribute, like the less-than-stellar economy and existing student loan payments (more than half of parents with children under five still have outstanding balances) but perhaps the hardest-hitting element is the colleges' steep price tags: Over the past five years alone, college costs have jumped 26 percent.
This news may sound bleak but families are still finding ways to afford school without going into debt...or having their children graduate with a mountain of it. More parents are asking their kids to work part-time, commute to save on room and board, opt for state schools over private ones and take additional credits - all to keep costs in check. These are all excellent options to defray ballooning education costs but don't forget scholarships and grants – aka free money for college! Just like saving, it's important to start searching for scholarships early and often. No time's better than the present – complete a free scholarship search today!

Not-so-breaking news: College is expensive and the costs associated with it show no sign of stopping their steady climb. What's a college hopeful to do? Consider a school that's finding ways to bridge the financial gap, like UC Berkeley.
Beginning next fall, Berkeley will amp up its financial aid contributions for middle-class students. School officials reported that while the number of low-income and wealthy students has increased over the last several years, the number from middle-class families has remained flat. Berkeley hopes to regain the interest of middle-class applicants by becoming the first public university to promise families earning between $80,000 and $140,000 a year will contribute no more than 15 percent of their annual incomes toward tuition.
This news – released just one day after Gov. Jerry Brown announced a $2.2 billion budget shortfall and another severe round of cuts to state colleges and universities – has already been dubbed a game changer by Terry W. Hartle: The senior vice president of the American Council on Education also believes other colleges will channel their competitive spirits and do whatever they can to offer similar programs. Learn more about Berkeley's plan here then tell us what you think.

In addition to talk of the economy and spilled milk, President Obama shared his thoughts on higher education during his third State of the Union address last night. On his to-do list: reduce student loan interest rates, extend a tax credit and continue supporting community colleges.
Ideally, the president would prevent the interest rate increase on federal student loans currently set for July, double the amount of federal work-study jobs in the next five years (moves that would cost $5 billion and $1 billion per year, respectively) and make the American Opportunity Tax Credit permanent. Obama praised community colleges as he has in the past for their links to job training and their contributions to keeping college affordable but had some harsher words for other institutions: Colleges that continued to hike tuition were put "on notice" and a document accompanying the speech said the president would propose to shift some federal aid away from colleges that don't provide good value. "It's not enough for us to increase student aid," Obama said. "We can't just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we'll run out of money. States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets. And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down."
Did you watch the State of the Union? What did you think of what President Obama had to say?
February 22, 2012
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!
April 24, 2012
Many students think they know what it takes to get into the college of their choice but with record-low admissions rates, insufficient financial aid and increasing student loan debt, the path to higher education is not as clear-cut as it once was. Good grades and high standardized test scores aren't enough anymore – the incoming freshman class at Berkeley, for example, includes an expert Ping-Pong player, an Irish dancer and a figure skater, as well as a TV star and a champion roller skater – but what if you don't have the access to even that kind of basic information? The filmmakers behind "First Generation" hope to explain just that.
Adam and Jaye Fenderson's first feature film follows four students – an inner city athlete, a small town waitress, a Samoan warrior dancer and the daughter of migrant field workers – through as they apply to college and attempt to be the first members of their families to attend college. "First Generation" explores how, despite these students all possessing valuable attributes inside and outside of the classroom, the absence of college graduates in a family can result in a lack of financial support and a shortage of knowledge about the college admissions process as a whole.
Check out the trailer here when you have a minute and let us know what you think. If you are or will be a first generation college student, could you relate to the individuals featured? Do you think "First Generation" should be viewed by all students applying to college? Weigh in in the comments section!

Figuring out how you're going to pay for your college education can be intimidating. No one wants to pay off student loans for the rest of their lives, full-tuition scholarships are rare and federal student aid seldom covers all college costs but if you're lucky enough to have a parent or relative willing to help curb the financial strains, it's important to note that college savings plans are becoming increasingly flexible and affordable. Here are some of the changes to the 529 savings plans for 2013:

Thursday was a busy day for the LA Galaxy, but my player evaluations are rolling right along with the evaluations of Homegrown forward Jose Villarreal and rookie defender Tommy Meyer.
Read my evaluations of Jose Villarreal and Tommy Meyer here.
You'll have chance to rate the players your own below...
Rate Villarreal....
Rate Meyer...
On Thursday, the LA Galaxy added the fifth Homegrown signing in club history with the signing of Hawthorne native and Cal-State Bakersfield all-American forward Gyasi Zardes.
Could the LA Galaxy have a new goalkeeper between the pipes once the 2013 season rolls around? According to report in Sports Illustrated, the LA Galaxy are close to an two-year contract agreement with veteran Italian goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.
The report states that Cudicini has asked to be paid "the maximum possible within the club's salary cap" whether this is a Designated Player status or not, remains to be seen.
The 39-year-old goalkeeper is currently buried down the depth chart with Tottenham Hotspur, currently serving as the club's fourth-string 'keeper behind starter Hugo Lloris, American international Brad Friedel, and Brazilian international Heurelho Gomes. Cudicini has spent nearly 15 years with clubs in England's Premier League after a lengthy tour of duty in his native Italy, having played at Chelsea from 2004 to 2009 when he joined Tottenham. He has just a single first team appearance for Tottenham this year during the club's 3-0 League Cup victory over Carlisle United.
Last week, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told reporters that club was currently communicating with the representation of current number one goalkeeper Josh Saunders.
As reported first on the LA Galaxy Insider on Wednesday afternoon, the LA Galaxy formally announced the signature of Cal-State Bakersfield standout Gyasi Zardes on Thursday morning.
Considered the number one prospect in college soccer by many, Zardes scored 38 goals and 17 assists in 56 games during his three year stint with the Roadrunners. The former Galaxy Under-18 and Under-20 player also spent time with the PDL's Ventura County Fusion during both the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
"I am extremely excited about the opportunity to join the LA Galaxy. The chance to play in front of family and friends and alongside the likes of Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan truly is a dream come true," Zardes said in a statement. "I would like to sincerely thank the Galaxy, MLS, Cal-State University Bakersfield and Wasserman [his agency] for their support and belief in me. I would also like to thank God without whom I would certainly not be where I am today. I am looking forward to working hard and helping the Galaxy defend their MLS Cup title next season".
The 21-year-old forward from Hawthorne becomes the fifth Homegrown signing in Galaxy history and the fourth currently on the team as he joins Jack McBean, Oscar Sorto and Jose Villarreal.
"Gyasi has been one of the most exciting prospects in our Academy for a number of years and was one of the best players in college soccer over the past few years so we are excited to finally be able to sign him as a Homegrown Player," Galaxy Vice President Chris Klein said in a statement. "He has grown and improved immeasurably as a result of his experiences with our Academy and at Bakersfield and we look forward to having him make his Galaxy debut in 2013."
A video clip of some of Zardes' highlights that surfaced on Wednesday is below...
Share your thoughts on the signing below.
The LA Galaxy have a schedule for their first two games of the 2013 season.
Earlier this week, the Galaxy announced that they will open their MLS regular season slate on March. 3 at The Home Depot Center against the Chicago Fire and on Wednesday, they learned their CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal dates.
LA will open the CCL quarterfinals campaign with the first leg on Thursday, March 7 in Costa Rica against C.S. Herediano at 5 p.m. PT. The second leg will take place at The HDC on Wednesday, March 13.
All MLS participants in CCL competition will have a bye week during week two of MLS' regular season.
Rolling right along with my end of the season evaluations, I addressed the seasons of rookie midfielder Rafael and Swedish winger Christian Wilhemsson.

Robbie Keane is waiting to see if he can reach full fitness before even contemplating going on a loan this offseason.
Keane told the Irish Independent that he still on the mend after suffering several nagging injuries including a knock to his Achilles from his 2012 season with the Galaxy. During his calendar year with the Galaxy, Keane amassed 23 goals and 10 assists as he helped the Galaxy win back-to-back MLS Cup titles. The Irishman went on an offseason loan a year ago to Aston Villa and talk of yet another loan comes as the Irish prepare for several important World Cup qualifiers in March against the likes of Sweden and Austria. Keane has recently been linked to Queen's Park Rangers.
"I haven't even thought about taking up with any other teams, I have a few little niggles that I have to sort out before I even contemplate making any decisions," Keane told the Irish daily during a promotional event in his homeland. "There has been a lot of speculation and a few clubs are interested, but it wouldn't be right for me to go anywhere if I wasn't 100 percent fit and ready. I don't have any major problems, just an Achilles injury, but if that isn't right, I won't be going anywhere."
Back in the states, the Galaxy announced their home opener on March 3 against the Chicago Fire. Also, this week, you can vote on which Robbie Keane goal will make the LAGalaxy.com Goal of the Year Final Four. Vote here and watch the goals below.
It may not be 2013 yet, but we now know that the LA Galaxy will begin their quest for back-to-back-to-back MLS Cups against the Chicago Fire on March 3 at The Home Depot Center.
The match will be the earliest regular season game in club history, as it comes just a week ahead of the 2012 home opener against Real Salt Lake. LA is 8-6-3 in season openers and 2-2-1 when those games take place at The HDC.
At the moment, tickets for the match can be purchased by becoming a season ticket holder or by buying LA's holiday package, which includes the opener, any other two home games as well as the CONCACAF Champions League home fixture against Costa Rican side Herediano.
From MLSsoccer.com, all of the LA Galaxy's goals in MLS competition.
As part of their season review series, MLSsoccer.com has put up four pieces that reflect upon the LA Galaxy's MLS Cup-winning season.
Perhaps, the most interesting is a look at Robbie Keane's influence through statistics from Opta. The main realization that the article comes to? Keane was MLS' best forward after he returned from international duty with the Ireland at the European Championships.
Also worth reading is MLS' analyst Matthew Doyle's piece on whether the Galaxy should re-build.
What are your thoughts on the two pieces?

The rail safety inspection program is directed toward the enforcement of state and federal rail safety standards for track, locomotives, freight cars, signal and train controls, operating practices of employees, and the transportation of hazardous materials.
The rail safety program is conducted in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration.
Rail Safety and Security Program
TxDOT rail safety inspectors conduct safety inspections of railroad facilities and equipment. They also monitor compliance with both state and federally-mandated safety regulations in the areas of hazardous materials, operating practices, motive power and equipment, signal and train control, and track.
Texas is currently participating in the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) Rail State Safety Participation Program under 49 CFR Part 212 which allows states to enter into an agreement with FRA for the delegation of specified authority. This includes investigative and surveillance authority regarding all or any part of Federal railroad safety laws.
State Safety Oversight
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) created the State Safety Oversight (SSO) Program to improve rail transit safety and security.
Rail Fixed-Guideway Systems (RFGS) affected by this program include any light, heavy, or rapid rail system, monorail, inclined plane, funicular, trolley or automated guideway operating within the state's jurisdiction that:

How to Solve the Israel-Palestine Conflict
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Norman G. Finkelstein, an academic, writer, and lecturer, received his doctorate in 1988 from the Department of Politics at Princeton University. For many years he taught political theory and the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Beginning with his thesis at Princeton, Finkelstein's career has been marked by controversy. A self-described "forensic scholar", he has written sharply critical academic reviews of several prominent writers and scholars whom he accuses of misrepresenting the documentary record in order to defend Israel's policies and practices. His writings, noted for their support of the Palestinian cause, have dealt with politically charged topics such as Zionism and the demographic history of Palestine.
Discussing Finkelstein's book Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History (2008), Israeli Historian Avi Shlaim stated that Finkelstein's critique of Israel "is based on an amazing amount of research. He seems to have read everything. He has gone through the reports of Israeli groups, of human rights groups, Human Rights Watch and Peace Now and B'Tselem, all of the reports of Amnesty International. And he deploys all this evidence from Israeli and other sources in order to sustain his critique of Israeli practices."
Finkelstein is the author of eight books that have been translated into 50 foreign editions, including: Knowing Too Much: Why the American Jewish Romance with Israel Is Coming to an End (OR Books: 2012); This Time We Went Too Far: Truth and Consequences of the Gaza Invasion (OR Books, 2010); and The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering (Verso, 2000).
He is currently working on a new book with Palestinian political analyst Mouin Rabbani, entitled How to Solve the Israel-Palestine Conflict.

Past Research
A Reference Grammar of Ọ̀kọ
This project is on Ọ̀kọ, the language of the Ogori and Magongo communities of Nigeria. The main objective is to provide a reference grammar of the language.
Ọ̀kọ is one of the many lesser described languages of Nigeria. Although it is structurally similar to some of its neighboring languages at the syntactic level (e.g. Yoruba), at the morphological level, there are several striking features which separate Ọ̀kọ from others. For example, the process of plural marking on some classes of nouns, the order of nouns and their modifiers, etc.
At the phonological level, several phonological processes are involved in the grammar of the language, such as vowel harmony, the phenomenon of nasal liaison, and more importantly grammatical tones. For example, tones are used to mark negation and are also employed for marking adpositions.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine the level of the drug tacrolimus in your blood in order to establish a dosing regimen, maintain therapeutic levels, and detect toxic levels
When to Get Tested?
As soon as tacrolimus therapy begins, frequently at first, then at regular intervals to monitor concentrations over time
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The sample should be collected 12 hours after your last dose and immediately prior to your next dose or as directed by your health practitioner.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive drug that is given orally or intravenously to people who have had a kidney, liver, heart, or other organ transplant. It is a potent drug that helps to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ by the body. This test measures the amount of tacrolimus in the blood.
Normally, a person's immune system recognizes a new, transplanted organ as foreign and begin to attack it. Tacrolimus limits this response and helps to prevent organ rejection by inhibiting the activation of certain immune cells called T-lymphocytes.
The level of tacrolimus in the blood must be maintained within a narrow therapeutic range. If the concentration is too low, organ rejection may occur; if it is too high, then the person may experience symptoms associated with toxicity.
Dosages must be tailored to the individual. Often, people will begin with higher doses of tacrolimus at the start of therapy and then decrease the dose over the next few weeks.
Tacrolimus is usually taken twice a day at set intervals before or after meals. When a person takes a dose, the blood concentration rises and peaks within about 2 to 3 hours and then begins to slowly drop. The blood test is usually measured as a "trough level," meaning that sample collection is timed for 12 hours post-dose and/or immediately prior to the next dose, when the drug's level in the blood is at its lowest.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
The sample should be collected 12 hours after the last dose and immediately prior to the next dose or as directed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Anthony Keidis kicks off the final main stage set. Photo: Kevin Sullivan, Orange County Reigster
We were taking shelter from the whipping winds under one of the tents just next to the food stands, listening to however many members of Wu-Tang Clan were on stage at the Outdoor Theatre near the end of Coachella's first weekend. Sure sounded like they were all there: Method Man, the RZA, even Ghostface Killah. Not Ol' Dirty Bastard, of course.
Straining to keep dirt from flying into our mouths, we all repeated the same conclusion so many friends and colleagues had muttered as well: This hadn't been a flat-out bad festival, but it sorely lacked for wow moments. The Postal Service's brilliant set Saturday night – that's as close as it gets, more so than the random R. Kelly cameo at the end of Phoenix's performance. And neither of those measures up to last year's 2Pac hologram or Kanye West hovering over the crowd by crane the year before that.
Maybe, we thought, the wow moment was just about to happen. What else could it be but the full Wu taking on an N.W.A reunion in the ultimate East Coast vs. West Coast rap battle, featuring phantom ODB squaring off against hologram Eazy-E? To top it off, Daft Punk would stun everyone by surfacing high over the stage's structure to drop Arcade Fire's lantern balloons on everyone.
Well, c'mon, Coachella 2013 certainly needed something extra. Anything uncommon that might save this 14th festival from forgettable status.
Like, say, the worst winds the event has ever seen. That ought to help us remember it five years from now.
We're not talking merely winds heavy enough to yank watches off wrists and send them hurtling toward Morongo. Add in sky-obliterating, sinus-clogging, lung-filling dust. By the time Red Hot Chili Peppers were fighting at their fiercest level to light up the main stage without extra screens or pyrotechnics (both were too dangerous to use), there was so much debris in the air that spotlights shining from the stage turned the typically blackened sky pure white.
"I feel like I'm in Lawrence of Arabia," Anthony Keidis declared after rousing undeterred fans with "Dani California." "I feel like I'm in Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl," bassist Flea added.
Right around 5 p.m., after I lapped the grounds and found only that the Gaslight Anthem sound even more Springsteeenian from a giant stage and that new electro innovator Grimes is more magnetic live than her acclaimed album "Visions" lets on, the real wow factor for Day 3 started brewing. Thankfully it didn't completely kick up until just after a winning set from neo-folkies the Lumineers that couldn't have been better timed to make the most of both the amassing crowd (among the biggest gatherings of the fest) and the last glimmers of golden weather before things turned hazily ugly.
You could tell a full-force gale was on its way as early as the night before, when it delayed Janelle Monáe's tent set by 20 minutes and left her pompadour flapping backwards, blasted apart. But Sunday it grew brutal, the mood-enhancing zephyrs of the previous afternoon now punishing. When Nick Cave introduced the last song of his Bad Seeds set, their current title track "Push the Sky Away," it felt as though the winds were trying to do precisely that.
"There's a nice cool breeze in the air," Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig noted before a grandly galloping new cut, "Unbelievers." Couldn't tell if he meant the understatement seriously or sarcastically, but he and his NYC mates gleefully rocked the daylight away as if these were perfect conditions. They greatly impressed with new material (from next month's Modern Vampires of the City) that flirts a good deal more with electronic effects, while delighting the dancing masses who went wild for the fitting spirals of "White Sky," an extended mix of "Giving Up the Gun" and all those first-album favorites: "A-Punk," "Oxford Comma," "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa."
As with Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Local Natives, Portugal. The Man and so many more of the true (read: younger) stars of Coachella 2013, VW's tight yet fluid flow oozed confidence, a maturity matched by unfettered exuberance. The better bands on the bill Sunday – the valiant Chili Peppers (who wouldn't dare let inclement weather dampen a propulsive hits parade) or those dizzyingly psychedelic rockers from Down Under, Tame Impala – were doubly impressive for bravely raging against the elements.
By comparison, an eccentric like Kurt Vile, whose face-covering hair already leaves him resembling Cousin Itt, was consumed by gusts. But the Impalas, led by lithe, almost fey Kevin Parker, concoct acidic jams ideal for cutting through such cyclonic conditions. Their approach, whether in the atmospherics of their debut Innerspeaker or the fuzzed-up Cream-y stomp of "Elephant" (from their equally praised follow-up, Lonerism), comes entirely pre-flanged. Whereas even the Chili Peppers' mix was warped by winds, inadvertently emphasizing guitarist Josh Klinghoffer's support vocals more than Keidis' leads, Tame Impala's sound simply melded with the weather and gained forcefulness.

SEATTLE, June 28, 2005 – The Reproductive Technology program at Swedish Medical Center/First Hill Campus is going through a major change later this summer. The existing Swedish lab, which is located in the Nordstrom Medical Tower, will close Friday, Aug. 5 and all services – including in vitro fertilization (IVF) – will transfer to the new Pacific Northwest Fertility Clinic on the 10th floor of the 1101 Madison Medical Tower – also located on the Swedish/First Hill Campus.
The new clinic will be owned and operated by longtime medical director of the Swedish program Lee Hickok, M.D., and Lorna Marshall, M.D., formerly of Virginia Mason. Other Swedish-affiliated physicians who will be using the new facility include Jane Uhlir, M.D., and Robert McIntosh, M.D.
"Swedish is very proud of its Reproductive Technology program and its accomplishments over the years, including the Northwest's first IVF pregnancy," said Brian Kuske, Swedish's vice president of Ambulatory and Ancillary Services. "However, given the changing landscape of the reproductive-technology market, we believe it makes sense to work cooperatively with the new, larger clinic rather than try to compete with it. The cooperative relationship will ensure that our patients will continue to have access to the entire continuum of obstetrical care."
Swedish is very confident in the services Drs. Hickok and Marshall will provide. By combining their resources, the two physicians will be well positioned to recruit and retain the highly specialized staff needed for this type of work. They will also be able to offer improved convenience for patients, such as providing a full range of services in a single location.
All services available in the existing Swedish lab will continue at the new lab. The only exception is the donor-sperm program, which will be phased out this summer.
To ensure the transition goes as smoothly as possible for patients, Swedish is already in the process of communicating with them so they know about the change.
Regarding staffing, eight Swedish employees are being affected. Some will transition to the new clinic while others are being redeployed elsewhere within the Swedish system. Program Director Mary Forster, Ph.D., will be assisting with the transition. Having been instrumental in developing the program since its inception, she is confident that she is leaving the program in good hands with Drs. Hickok and Marshall.
Swedish is the largest, most comprehensive, nonprofit health provider in the Pacific Northwest. It is comprised of three hospital campuses (First Hill, Providence and Ballard), a new community-based emergency room and specialty center in Issaquah, Swedish Home Care Services and Swedish Physicians – a network of 12 primary-care clinics. In addition to general medical and surgical care, Swedish is known as a regional referral center, providing specialized treatment in areas such as cardiac care, oncology, orthopedics, high-risk obstetrics, neurological care, sleep medicine, pediatrics, organ transplantation and clinical research.
