The Straw Hats traveled to Skypiea in search of adventure, but they may have gotten more than they bargained for. It took less than a day for Luffy to earn the title of public enemy number one, and now his crew is subject to the harsh judgment of an angry god and the four lethal priests of Upper Yard!
Zoro, Nami, Chopper, and Robin are trapped aboard the Going Merry when it's commandeered by a crustacean and marooned on a sacrificial alter. Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp are quick to mount a rescue mission, but they've got a problem of their own: a dancing dango of madman with an endless supply of agonizing ways to die! It'll take more than a miracle for this crew to be reunited - especially all in one piece!

Five years later, Apple introduced the iPhone and my prayers were answered.

- Defense Secretary Robert Gates is ordering the Pentagon and the military to find $7 billion dollars in spending cuts for next year, and up to $37 billion by 2016. If put in place, the New York Times reports Gates' plan would become institutionalized across the Defense Department. The goal, he says, is to force all DoD agencies and organizations, to save enough money in their management, personnel policies and logistics to guarantee 3-percent real growth each year in the accounts that pay for combat operations.
- Northrop Grumman has had to pay $700,000 to settle U.S. attorney's civil claims for fraudulent and improper billing under two defense procurement contracts. The government charged Northrup with submitting false claims and with improperly charging for lodging expenses for Northrop employees who actually stayed in accommodations provided by the government.
- An FBI information technology manager faces prison time for possessing child pornography. Investigators say 64-year-old Samuel Kaplan, of Gainesville got their attention after he sent explicit emails on the FBI's unclassified network, while he worked at the a facility in Chantilly, Virginia. Later, investigators say they found over a dozen disturbing images on his home computer. Kaplan has pleaded guilty to the charges. He could get ten years in prison when he is sentenced in August.
- The Gulf oil slick is headed up the east coast this summer. That's according to a supercomputer simulation run by scientists at two federal facilities. Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado collaborated on the study. They said the oil could travel thousands of miles up the East Coast, according to the Wall Street Journal. The simulation combines many variables, including wind speed, current patterns, temperatures and past weather patterns. Each simulation takes 24 hours to run.
- Lots of questions about whether agencies should offer prizes for ideas on improving government. The White House is asking agencies to coordinate their online contests but some lawmakers aren't so sure about prizes in the first place. NextGov reports, Representatives. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Pete Olson of Texas say the prizes are a misuse of federal funds. They cite a $2,500 prize offered by Regulations.gov to the winner of a video contest for increasing public participation federal rulemaking. Prizes are part of President Obama's open government initiative.
- The public has weighed in on what the federal government should or should not outsource. More than 100 individuals and groups submitted comments on proposed new rules for which government functions ought to be done by contractors, according to GovExec. The comment period, which opened in March, closed earlier this week. Those with opinions include trade groups, labor unions, contract lawyers and individuals. In all, they submitted 118 comments.
- Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Edolphus Towns is asking the Justice Department and Homeland Security to explain some serious charges contained in a 2009 Inspector General's report. The report charges the U.S. National Central Bureau with not providing critical information to U.S. law enforcement, and with not ensuring that information from Interpol was being given to domestic law enforcement agencies in an accurate, complete and timely manner. The USNCB coordinates and transmits requests for criminal investigative assistance between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and their foreign counterparts, and is co-managed by the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.
- The same video technology the NFL uses for instant replay during football games could soon help the troops in Afghanistan. Harris Corporation, the company behind instant replay for professional football and baseball games, has teamed up with the military on an analysis system to help make more sense of what's going on on the field... the battlefield. The amount of intelligence and surveillance video coming in from drones has been overwhelming analysts who simply can't keep up. Wired.com reports the system has already been deployed to several bases.

They do not block my movement when I skate, so that is something nice to have since my old ones did do that. Overall, amazing amazing pads!! LOVE THEM!!
From: Melanie
Comments: These pads are amazing. I have gotten hit, slashed, and banged into the boards so many times, and the pads have held up great. They do however show marks of hits, but it does not effect the performance of these beauties. They also do not restrict my performance in anyway by slipping, or getting bulky. I love these!!!
From: Melanie
Comments: Great protection and use for the standard level of any type of player . Great affordable piece of equipment to greatly assist at protecting the knees and shins when it comes to physical contact as well.

Penetrating Finishes
Smaller sets of finishes actually penetrate the structure of the wood and provide protection and add beauty. Wax has been used as a floor finish for about as long as floors have been around. These are often used over basic penetrating oil or as a standalone finish. Tung and linseed oils have also been used as standard finishes for decades. Penetrating oil finishes are often combined with a topcoat of wax to add richness and depth to the wood's grain and character.
When a wax or penetrating stain or oil is applied to wood, it soaks or is worked into the wood itself and the excess material is then removed. Waxes with solvent bases are very easy to apply and they dry quickly. These finishes are a little more work to maintain, but they are also one of the easiest to repair. The durability comes from the wood itself and varies by the characteristics of each species. Buffing an oil and wax finish can keep it looking like new, year after year, without the risk of chipping or flaking.
When I completed a large addition to my home, I used a traditional penetrating oil finish in my master bedroom. The hardwood flooring I chose was Jatoba, also know as Brazilian Cherry, and it is significantly harder and more durable than oak. I prefer the look of satin and low-gloss floors, and linseed oil alone yields a subtle sheen that is timeless in its beauty. Linseed oil also imparts a pleasant smell during application and provides basic protection in a room where heavy traffic is minimized. The low cost of a linseed oil finish is also a nice benefit. Polyurethanes can run $30-$40 a gallon; Swedish finishes $80-$100 a gallon; while linseed oil can easily be one-third of those costs.

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Thrilled with this purchase I never thought I'd write a review on how much I like a toilet bowl.. but I have to say that this one is really beautiful. I redid two bathrooms and got rid of the standard boring toilet bowls I had and installed this one with the matching top and comfort seat and my updated bathroom looks incredible. Even the way this toilet flushes is great, it's very quiet. I love it and am so happy with my purchase and with Faucet Direct.. they are a great company and when I do my master bathroom I will definitely purchase all my bathroom fixtures from here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CuriousApe from Nice product, good price, and great service! Logistics in other parts of the bathroom, along with the desire for a 1.6 gallon tank, limited our choice of toilet to this Kohler. It looks lovely, flushes well, and is a great height for someone with replaced knees. Installation went smoothly. The flush is a bit louder than our former toilet, but it clears itself soooo much better that we have no complaints. One flush does it all! I was impressed by the great customer service--placed the order by phone so I could verify shipping and ask a few other questions. When the discount didn't show up in the total, the customer service person immediately noted it and credited it separately, without me having to say anything. The 2-piece toilet shipped from 2 separate locations, by separate carriers, and I was notified of that fact promptly. Both pieces were well packed, shipped quickly, and came incredibly quickly (under 48 hours!) Since it came SO fast (I expected 10 - 14 days), I hadn't warned my neighbor who signs for things to open and check everything over before signing, but there were no problems on inspection. Overall a great experience.

Rated 2 out of 5 by brailleteacher from Disappointed. We wanted a bowl that would not take up as much room as our previous elongated bowl, however, we are finding this rounded bowl much to small for our needs. Also, since it is a 1.6 gallon flush, the water level stays low in the bowl requiring, at times, multiple flushes. I have had to use a toilet tab to keep the bowl clean as an alternative to brushing it after "major" useage. On the positive side, it is a quick flush with a lot of force, but it doesn't always eradicate everything from the bowl if you catch my drift. I may have to purchase another base (bowl). The tank portion is very nice. We are disappointed with the bowl portion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HapyCustmr from Awesome Toilet Not only does this toilet look very classy it fit in with our bathroom remodel like a glove, it works great with a fraction of the water use of the older larger tanked toilet we replaced. I have to say I am impressed which is not something one says about a toilet, but is the truth. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing a toilet. Installation was not bad at all. The taller toilets are the way to go especially for someone who has longer legs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jello from Looks good, Flushes great I was hesitant to get a new toilet because of all the bad press on the new low water usage toilets. We went to Canada in August and had a devil of a time flushing just a little bit of toilet paper. We couldn't wait to get back to the states!! This toilet not only has a great look in my remodeled bathroom, but it flushes with force and completely. I love it!! The almond color goes perfectly with the new darker beige tile.
Date published: 2011-06-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by rtpe from nice john The toilet is exactly as advertised. It is narrow which is why I bought it. There is not a lot of room in my bathroom since the original toilet tank was higher than the tub. The low fill requirement is great as well as the actual flush. It seems to be more active than the old one (1940 vintage).

Rated 5 out of 5 by Con from Our Memoirs toilet arrived in a timely manner and in perfect condition. It looks great and works well.

'Twin Peaks' home in Everett for sale
Ian Terry / The Herald
Though not the original, a ceiling fan made famous by the 1990's television series "Twin Peaks" spins above as Marilyn Pettersen walks down the stairs of her now for sale home on Thursday in Everett.
Ian Terry / The Herald
A wicker chair which was included during filming of character "Laura Palmer's" room in the television series "Twin Peaks" sits at Marilyn Pettersen's home, which is now for sale.
Ian Terry / The Herald
Once used to film portions of the �Twin Peaks� television series, a home owned by Marilyn Pettersen at 708 33rd Street in Everett is now up for sale for $550,000.
Ian Terry / The Herald Marilyn Pettersen is reflected in a mirror in her now for sale home on Thursday, July 3, 2014 in Everett. Pettersen's living room, at left, was used along with other portions of the house to shoot parts of the "Twin Peaks" television series. Photo taken on 07032014
Although with four bedrooms and a large eat-in kitchen, it's by far the most functional.
The Everett home of fictional murdered homecoming queen Laura Palmer and her maniacal parents is on the market.
Marilyn Pettersen, 80, is selling the Rucker Hill house where she and her late husband, Pete, raised five children. The white Dutch colonial with the wide front steps was used in the 1990 show's pilot episode and the 1992 movie prequel "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me."
Pettersen said there was never any creepy mojo afterward. No demonic entity Bob sightings at the window or cigarettes burning in the kitchen. The home's fame didn't change her life, but it sure made it a bit more interesting.
"All of a sudden there were 'Peak Freaks' everywhere," said Pettersen, a former Everett Clinic nurse who recently moved into a retirement community. "For a long time and still to this day, I see people taking pictures out front or they'll come and knock at the door."
There's been a resurgence of traffic at 708 33rd St. since news broke a week ago that Laura Palmer's home is for sale. Want a look? There's an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Laura's death was the driving force for the 30-episode TV series created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. The discovery of the teen's plastic-wrapped body in the pilot episode beckoned the handsome, pie-loving FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper to town ... and a fan cult was born. "Twin Peaks" was freaky stuff back in the days when TV shows were more "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Blossom" than "Breaking Bad."
The whole "Twin Peaks" series will be released July 29 in a $120 Blu-ray set with unseen footage, possibly from the Pettersen house. The Everett home is the main link to the show, which was partially filmed in Snoqualmie and North Bend as well as on Hollywood sets.
Pettersen had no idea what she was getting into that morning in 1989 when the doorbell rang after her kids were at school and Pete was at his sports car dealership.
"I dragged myself in my robe and whatnot and here was this tiny, young gal and she said they were looking for a home to use in their TV series. I was flabbergasted, like 'what have you been smoking?'" Pettersen said.
"They wanted a place where a prosperous lawyer lived but yet a place they could make a little weird because the wife was such a neurotic woman. She wanted to know if there was a room suitable for a teenage girl. And I said, 'Well, I've just had three teenagers graduate from this room up here.' The next morning I had a whole production crew here."
They offered $900 for the one-day TV shoot. She told them: "Make it $1,200 and you got a deal."
Pettersen said she was surprised by "the darkness" of the series. "I thought it was going to be a murder mystery."
Still, she invited them back.
Production lasted a week when the movie was shot. She fed the crews, supplied props (such as her heirloom wicker rocking chair) and kept watch. "They turned on the fireplace without opening the flue," she said. "I had to dive in and open it."
Laura's room was a popular set. "The window hasn't been opened since Laura," Pettersen joked. "They kept it closed so Bob couldn't come in. Bob's not getting back in here."
Laura's bed, the wicker rocker and that hallway fan are among the show's iconic items. "They took the bed to Hollywood, and the fan," Pettersen said, "and they paid handsomely."
The Windermere Real Estate listing makes no mention of "Twin Peaks."
"People are going to buy it as a house," listing agent Casey Price said. "That will have a bigger impact than the fact it was shown in 'Twin Peaks.'"
The real estate write-up points out the home's 1930s charm. "Hardwood floors, crown molding, oversized rooms and timeless character," it reads. "A grand entryway leads into circular main floor layout that is warmed with natural light. Four bedrooms upstairs surround open staircase & two bedrooms have access to an enclosed sun room."
A "Twin Peaks" fan site put it this way: "Spacious living room (where nobody can hear you scream). A bedroom (put a lock on that window and you'll be fine). Large renovated kitchen (where Sarah Palmer smoked her first cigarette(s) of the day). Bonus: After 25 years, Laura Palmer's wicker rocking chair is still there!"
It's true. The wicker rocker is there. And it can be yours, without buying the house.
"It was for sale in an estate sale I had but nobody bought it," Pettersen said. "The price is bigger now."

Twin Peaks Fest
The annual gathering of Twin Peaks fanatics is Aug. 1-3 at the Grange Hall located in, of course, North Bend. Besides a special showing of Twin Peaks' pilot episode and a celebrity dinner, the weekend will also have a filming site bus tour. Undoubtedly it will pass by the Pettersen home on Rucker Hill, now complete with for sale sign.

On Monday night, the Oak Hill Academy Lady Raiders swept into Pheba to play the Lady Eagles of Hebron on the softball diamond.
Oak Hill jumped out on top early, eventually claiming an 8-3 lead over Hebron.
Lady Eagle starter Beveley Blake gave up four two-out runs in the first inning, but the defense and pitching settled down after that, allowing Hebron to climb back in it.
After getting three in the bottom of the third, Oak Hill settled in and added four more runs over the next two innings to seal the win.
When the two teams departed, they thought they would not see one another again until September 20 at Oak Hill.
However, thanks to some adjustments in the schedule, the two teams will face off this afternoon at 3:30.
"This one wasn't on the schedule, but we needed to play and they needed to play," said Hebron head coach Cass Tapley. "We can help each other out in time for conference play next week."
Tapley's team was originally slated to play on the road against Winston tonight, but that game fell through.
Oak Hill was not on the schedule to play anyone, but they were scheduled to play in the MRA Tournament this weekend.
By Wednesday, Oak Hill said it was not going to participate in that tourney.
That would have left Hebron and the Lady Raiders going Monday to Monday without a game, leading up to conference matches for both of them.
"This is just getting us some work before Monday," Tapley said. "It will help us both out to keep us fresh."
Hebron will be going on the road on Monday to take on conference rival Kemper at 4 p.m.
Oak Hill will be hosting conference contender Carroll. This will be the second time in two weeks these teams have met, and Oak Hill played victim to the Lady Rebels in a 10-0 loss last Thursday.
This will also give Hebron a chance to turn the tables on the cross-county team which beat them on Monday at home.

Weeks into the program, I finally got my fix.
A box was delivered to The Free Press offices Wednesday, and it wasn't fuzzy pajamas from my second mother (although as cold at it has been, I wouldn't have turned those away).
It was Girl Scout cookies.
Peanut butter patties, to be exact, my favorite.
Sadly, it seems as soon as they got here they were gone ... but boy, were they good while they lasted.
I've only gotten reacquainted with Girl Scout cookies in the last several years, after what I figure was a self-imposed hiatus. It also didn't help that friends of mine now have children of Girl Scout age who literally stand on street corners every year about this time hawking their goods like little vest-clad pushers.
Like many things, I have a complicated relationship with the Girl Scouts.
In elementary school, I was a Brownie, one of the "lower tier" of Girl Scout organizations. A few of my classmate's mothers were brave or crazy enough to take on the task of being group leaders for about a dozen of us, and a church fellowship hall was found to hold the meetings.
I still have my uniform and sash from that time, with the few badges I earned. I have no idea what any of them were for, but I'm sure the whole thing almost qualifies as a collector's item at this point.
I remember we made a lot of crafts. I made a tiny doll-sized rocking chair out of clothespins that was probably as close to a work of art as you can get to when you're only 9.
I remember we took a "field trip" to a fellow Brownie's farm to see all the animals.
And then there were the cookie sales. Bless our hearts.
I happened to have a distinct advantage in the cookie-selling area. Between my dad's contacts as a teacher and my mom's contacts through her bowling league and other groups, our family knew a good number of people. I never had to stand on a street corner. I barely had to leave the house.
I worked that phone like a telemarketer whose rent was due.
Every year I sold the most cookies, which one year earned me three free weeks at the local Girl Scout day camp.
Unintentionally, I went to Girl Scout camp under an assumed name.
I'm not sure what was happening the year I was born, but there turned out to be four or five "Jennifer's" in my little group of camp alone. On the first day, the counselors pulled us all aside.
"Do any of you have any nicknames?" they asked. "Because this is going to get ridiculous."
That also happened to be around the time I decided I didn't like my name. I told the counselors they could call me by my middle name instead, which is Jill.
So for three weeks, I was Jill. Everyone called me that. It's on all my certificates, wherever they are. Jill this. Jill that. Other than falling in the lake a couple times, the camp was uneventful.
Until the last day when my mother showed up for the official parent program portion of the camp.
Everyone still called me Jill. Jill, come do this. Jill, help with this trash. Jill this. Jill that.
"Why are they calling her Jill?" my mother asked a counselor -- a counselor who was not in on the first-week name changing and thought that was my name.
"Well, that's her name?" the confused counselor said. To my mother.
"No it's not."
"Y-y-yes it is?"
My mother didn't speak to me for the whole drive home.
That was the end of my second identity and the end of my time in the Girl Scout organization. Our brave troop leader mothers decided they'd had enough and didn't want to take us to the next step, being actual Girl Scouts.
So my sash of badges is pretty sparse.
But I still do like the cookies.

Don't forget about spending money when planning for college costs. This advice comes from Alabama's Birmingham News, which spoke with some students, parents, and financial aid administrators in the state about dealing with expenses that fall outside of paying tuition and room and board. However, Alabama students and families are by no means the only ones not sure how to deal with how much living at college will cost.
Financial aid offices typically figure a few thousand dollars into a student's cost of attendance estimate to cover such expenses as gas, car maintenance, toiletries, clothes, entertainment, and food and drinks not from the dining center, but actual experiences vary widely among students. Some college students certainly choose the spartan lifestyle of staying in the dorm, using their meal plan, and biking around campus to attend free school-sponsored activities. Others fail to resist the urge to splurge, doing their studying at the all night diner just a short drive from campus or swinging by the mall for some retail therapy and a movie after a particularly grueling week of class. I was certainly in the latter category, despite my best intentions of being thrifty and only spending what I earned working at my work-study job (work-study, for those unfamiliar, is a campus-based aid program that is more easily used to cover living expenses than tuition).
But don't assume the worst and rush out to borrow an extra $10,000 to cover unforseen expenses. Instead, practice some basic money management. Take an honest look at your spending habits and how much you'll realistically want to scale them back to save money. Then look at how much you can earn while in school without getting off-track for graduation, and start figuring out how to make up any differences between the two. A summer job or an extra scholarship award or two could give you enough money to survive the next 9 months without having to resort to student loans to fix your car, get you home for Christmas, or feed you until you land a new job. As a recent grad who looked to borrowing as the easy way out of tight financial situations, believe me, those little loan amounts add up.

Aspiring artists, break out your pens for this week's Scholarship of the Week, the Christophers' Poster Contest for High School Students. The art scholarship competition, which carries a grand prize of $1000, encourages high school students to create an original poster featuring the text "you can make a difference." Just by using your artistic talent in two-dimensional or computer-generated art to create a poster, you could be $1000 closer to funding your education, without having to worry about GPA, test score, or financial need requirements.
The Christophers is a non-profit organization founded in 1945 for the purpose of using media to encourage people to make positive changes in their community. 2008-2009 is the 19th year they've helped students pay for school through this poster competition.
Prize: 1st prize is $1000, 2nd prize is $500, 3rd prize is $250, and five honorable mentions receive $100 each.
Eligibility: High school students currently enrolled in grades 9-12.
Deadline: January 19, 2009.
Required Materials: One 15" by 20" poster and a completed application form, which is available on The Christophers' website. Posters must include the words "you can make a difference" and be the original work of one student.
Further details about the application process can be found by conducting a free college scholarship search on Scholarships.com. Once the search is completed, students eligible for this scholarship award will find it in their search results.

An article that appeared yesterday in the UK's Times Higher Education carries an important reminder for students attending college on both sides of the pond: don't trust spell check to always suggest the right word. The publication's recently revived contest for the best college exam bloopers asked professors to submit anonymous examples of some of their students' worst for-credit writing. Most of the entries highlighted in the article are a case of students accidentally using a different word than what they meant.
If you're not the best speller, you may want to take these examples to heart and remember to use the dictionary to look up the meanings and spellings of words you're not sure of, rather than simply relying on a spell checker or guessing. For example, "academic" and "epidemic" may sound similar, but they carry very different meanings. And don't think these mistakes are something that only the stereotypical stuffy tweed-clad British professor will notice--anyone in the business of evaluating writing is likely to pick up on errors of meaning in essay writing.
This advice applies not only to essays you'll write for introductory college courses, but also to college applications and scholarship application essays, as well. Many students run their entries for scholarship essay contests through a spellchecker of some sort (though some don't even do that), but a surprising number of students fail to take the next step and make sure that the words they're using mean what they think they mean. Over-reliance on the thesaurus can produce a similar effect. While the denotative meanings of two words may appear to be closely related, their connotations could be worlds apart.

The city of Akron, Ohio plans to introduce a scholarship fund to encourage its high school graduates to stay in the city for college. Akron's plan follows in the footsteps of other cities with similar programs, such as Kalamazoo, Michigan, which gained national attention with the launch of the Kalamazoo Promise scholarship in 2005. An anonymous donor contributes to the Kalamazoo Promise fund, which offers free tuition to graduates of Kalamazoo high school attending college at local schools, such as Western Michigan University. At least 19 cities have followed suit in the last three years, according to the Associated Press, with many relying on private donors to provide scholarship awards.
But no donors have come forth in Akron, so the city is trying something new: leasing its sewage system to a private company, then using the money to establish a scholarship fund. The measure, which has earned the somewhat derisive nickname "stools for schools," is up for a vote in November. While any additional scholarships for high school students are welcome, this measure does come with some drawbacks. Up to 100 city employees in Akron may find themselves without jobs in an already tough economic climate and many residents have issues with the city choosing to privatize public works.
Additionally, students may not be interested in the scholarship anyway. Presently, only 600 Akron high school graduates attend the University of Akron, and the proposed tuition plan will only subsidize what's left of tuition after students' other scholarships are taken out, leaving them with the guaranteed responsibility of room and board. The scholarship committee is also throwing around the idea of attaching a thirty-year residency requirement to the scholarship money, converting the scholarships to student loans for all students who choose to leave Akron before retirement.
While local scholarships are usually a great idea for students, they can stop being appealing if too many requirements are attached. My guess is that few students will want to have their entire lives planned out for them in high school, especially if a change in plans carries a financial penalty of tens of thousands of dollars. Whether or not this measure passes in November, many students from Akron will undoubtedly want to continue their scholarship search. And Scholarships.com is a great place to start, with our database of 2.7 million college scholarships and grants worth over $19 billion, without a 30-year residency requirement in sight.

California's community colleges system plans to begin offering $1,000 scholarships to many of its students in 2009, according to an article in Diverse Issues in Higher Education. The schools received a $25 million endowment in May from a foundation that supports education and the arts, and will receive matching funds of up to another $25 million after fundraising efforts this fall. These scholarship opportunities will help make college more affordable for anywhere from 1,250 to over 5,000 students annually, depending on the amount of money California community colleges are able to raise to contribute to the fund.
This is just one of several efforts being undertaken by California's community colleges in order to start tapping into alumni donations and building endowment funds to help students pay for school. The San Mateo Community College foundation has increased its staff and started publishing an alumni newsletter to solicit donations, and the Foundation for California Community Colleges, which will administer the new scholarship fund, is helping other schools devise strategies for fundraising.
As community college enrollment continues to increase and states continue to cut funding to community colleges in order to balance their budgets, it makes sense for community colleges to increasingly turn to philanthropic gifts to meet their students' needs. If other states follow California's example, attending college at a two-year institute could become a more attractive option for many students who are strapped for cash or coming up short on financial aid at a more expensive institution. In addition to scholarships administered by the colleges, community college students are also eligible to compete for many private scholarship awards.

If you're thinking about enrolling in a community college, it looks like you're not alone. Community colleges across the country are reporting increases in enrollment of up to 10% for the fall semester, with registration still ongoing at many schools. The present economic situation in the U.S. is prompting more and more people to consider attending college, while concerns about rising costs of living and potential difficulties finding money for college are causing more people to worry about how to pay for school. Additionally, community colleges continue to ramp up their efforts to attract students and provide high-quality education at an affordable price.
All of these factors combine to make community colleges an attractive educational option for many students. With new legislation in the recently reauthorized Higher Education Act requiring universities to make their transfer credit policies for undergraduate students more transparent, and a preliminary study being conducted by the Department of Education to identify some potential student concerns in the transfer process, it's also becoming easier for students to start at a community college, then later transfer to a four-year university.
There can be some drawbacks to community colleges, though. According to one study, community college students may be less likely to have concrete plans for just how long they will attend school and more likely to leave college without attaining a degree, but a large part of this could be due to community colleges attracting a more diverse group of students. Additionally, community college instructors are often not as experienced and credentialed as their peers at four-year schools, though students can still find themselves taking intro courses from adjuncts and graduate students at many state universities.
So if you're open-minded and willing to transfer, consider community colleges in your college search. Community college students enjoy lower tuition, take many of the same general education classes as their peers at public and private universities, are eligible for federal student financial aid, and in some cases even have the option to live on-campus. For many students they can be great ways to ease into college life without going too deep into student loan debt.

The results of a poll conducted by Phi Delta Kappa International and Gallup were released today, revealing current American attitudes towards education, at both the high school and college levels. The majority of respondents were in favor of increasing funding for and access to education at all levels.
According to the poll,
August 20, 2008
The results of a poll conducted by Sallie Mae and Gallup were released today, painting a picture of where Americans across income levels find money for college. The study found that sources of funding varied, with parent borrowing (16%), student borrowing (23%), and parent income and savings (32%) taking care of the majority of college costs. Scholarships and grants followed closely behind, making up 15 percent of college funding.
The average grant and scholarship awards and student loan amounts were roughly the same for low income families (families making below $50,000 a year), while middle income families relied most heavily on parent income and student loans, and high income families (families making above $100,000 a year) predominantly used parent income and savings to pay for school.
While more students than parents were likely to rule out a school at some point in their college search based on cost (63% vs. 54%), two in five families said that cost was not a consideration in choosing the right college for them, and 70 percent of students and parents said that future income was not a factor when determining how much to borrow.
Additionally, 20 percent of families reported using either a second mortgage or a credit card to pay some portion of tuition, while only 9 percent of families reported using a college savings plan, such as a 529 plan, to pay for part of tuition (though those who did were able to cover nearly $8,000 of the cost of college with one). The study also found that only 76 percent of students whose families made between $35,000 and $50,000 per year, many of whom may be eligible for state and federal grant programs, did not complete the FAFSA. Only 73 percent of familes making between $50,000 and $100,000 per year completed a FAFSA, despite many families' reliance on loans to pay for college.

Maybe it's just the release of Beloit College's "Mind-Set List," a list of news items, pop culture references, and technological advances that happened 18 years ago and thus have always existed for incoming college freshmen, but the generation gap between the big desk and the little desks in the college classroom seems to be on everyone's minds this week. As usual, social networking applications seem to be both a tool universities attempt to use to bridge the gap, and a reminder to students just how wide the gap is.
First off, Inside Higher Ed informs us that a new Facebook application called "Schools" is being marketed to universities as a way to allow their students to connect in a safe environment where their identity and school enrollment have been verified. Included in the application are tools that professors can use in the classroom, such as a name game that allows students to learn their classmates' names. Unlike other Facebook applications, the university has to purchase and implement "Schools," rather than allowing individual students to adopt it.
If this application takes off, and even if it doesn't, more undergraduate students (and probably some graduate students, too) are likely to experience Facebook and other social networking sites as a "creepy treehouse," a term the Chronicle of Higher Education shared with academia in its news blog yesterday. That crawly feeling you get when your professor friends you on a social networking site, even though you don't have any incriminating photos or information on your profile? That's the creepy treehouse, built to look like a place for kids to play, but really used by adults.
So, remember when you're attending college this fall that your professors come from a different world, a world where:

Twins Announcement
LOVE my announcements! Magnet street did a wonderful job. This is my 3rd purchase and always satisfied.
Excellent Quality
I would highly recommend MagnetStreet. The process was easy and my order arrived in reasonable time. I love the fact that I could personalize everything from the wording, to color and font, because I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. Our birth announcement turned out so adorable, and people really loved them. It's nice to go to people's houses and see the magnet still on somebody's fridge rather than a paper card that gets stored somewhere after being displayed for only a month or so.

struggling with the ear seal...
seeing the emptiness of ones self, this is the heart seal.
seeing the emptiness of mind, this is the mind seal.
seeing the emptiness of body, this is the body seal.
seeing the emptiness of form, this is the form seal.
but how on earth do you consistently see the emptiness of sound, the ear seal. i live on a bussy road, now i am listening to the traffic, but still find the emptiness of sound elusive.
it would seem that one can know the emptiness of ones own nature without necessarily perceiving the emptiness of all things. sound is a real challenge. i catch glimpses of its emptiness, but it is elusive. one of the patriarchs said the self nature is found in the emptiness of the six bases/consciousnesses, which includes the ear/sound consciousness.
how can there be a complete emptiness sealing if emptiness is not seen in all of the six bases? without seeing emptiness in all the bases there is not confidence of realization.
does anyone have any advice on how to see/hear emtiness in the ear, whilst focused on sound?
best wishes, White Lotus.

Tonight marks the season finale of NBC's Parenthood. The ratings are down so will it end up being the series finale as well? Will the show be cancelled or return for a fourth season?
Parenthood debuted back in March of 2009 as a mid-season replacement series. The first season's 13 episodes ended up averaging a 2.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.38 million total viewers. The show was on the bubble but ended up getting renewed.
NBC didnt wait until mid-season to bring it back and season two kicked off in September 2010. With a full 22 episode season, the show's averages dropped to a 2.1 in the demo and 5.34 million. Parenthood was on the bubble once again but, once again, it ended up being renewed.
This season, the ratings have dropped once again. The third season of Parenthood (not including tonight's numbers) have averaged a 1.9 in the demo with 5.13 million. Based on the lower numbers at the start of the season, NBC only ordered 18 installments this time around.
Loading ...
Ordinarily, one would expect that Parenthood would be on the verge of cancellation once again. However, because the rest of NBC's schedule is in such sorry shape, Parenthood's ratings actually look pretty good by comparison.
Out of the 17 scripted programs that have aired on NBC this season, Parenthood has the sixth highest demo ratings, beating out shows like Community, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, and Grimm. On our NBC ratings report card, Parenthood registers a firm "B."
Based on the season numbers and the fact that Parenthood is co-produced by Universal Television, NBC's own production company, it's almost guaranteed to be back for a fourth season.
But, what do you think? Do you think Parenthood should be renewed or cancelled? How long should the series reasonably continue?

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
Also called Gremlin Bell.
Specifically hung on your bike and used to ward off "road gremlins".
Comment: I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Guardian Bell, in fact I order another one within days of my first one arriving for another Biker friend who really liked mine. The Eagle Globe and Anchor is a very nice touch to the bell.
David Bennett
Quantico Virginia
Comment: Great product. same as you get in any bike or leather shop only cost less. Great value

Hogman 1776
Comment: My bell was a Christmas Present from my Hubby.. I was looking at them and asked for the Breast Cancer bell.. as Breast Cancer has really taken it's toll on my Mom and one of my younger sisters..
The bell is beautifully made, the pictures do not do them any justice.. and very well made.. I am totally pleased with my bell..
Comment: I rate these Guardian Bells as one of my most useful pieces of equipment. I hang one on the bottom of the frame on each side of the bike and when in a turn it acts like a stall warning device in an airplane. When you hear the Bell talking with the road, you need to lighten up on the turn. No batteries required.

Comment: I bought this as a gift for my husband. He loved it ands the detail of the flames were excellent!
Santee, SC
Guardian bells are added to a motorcycle to ward off evil road spirits that
are notorious for bringing mechanical gremlins or general bad luck to a ride.
Hanging a guardian bell near the ground from your bike traps these evil spirits
and the ringing of the bell drives them insane and they fall to the ground
rendering them unable to cause any more mischief. It may sound a little fishy at
first but when you think about it, being trapped in a bell with constant ringing
would drive me insane too, so, yeah, makes perfect sense. Legend goes on to say
that these bells posess twice as much gremlin knock out power when purchased by
a friend or loved one and given as a gift. Our guardian bells are made of pewter
and are available in nearly twenty different varieties from military themes to
flames and dragons.

text: Has there been any word on whether the adventure included in the Beta, Crate of Krayts, will be the adventure included in the Core Rulebook? I'm super new to RPG's and am just worried about running out of adventures for my group of friends to run before I learn to write them myself. So naturally I'm curious about how much FFG are providing and how quickly I'll have to get used to designing an adventure.

Why Get Tested?
To help distinguish between Alzheimer disease and other forms of dementia
When to Get Tested?
These tests may be ordered along with cognitive and brain-imaging tests in people who demonstrate some form of dementia. These tests are not routine laboratory tests and are typically available only in research settings or memory clinics.
Sample Required?
A sample of cerebrospinal fluid collected using a spinal tap
Test Preparation Needed?
Your health practitioner will advise you of any preparatory requirements.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
These tests measure amyloid beta 42 (Aß42) and tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Amyloid beta 42 is a peptide (protein fragment). Increased production of amyloid beta 42 in the brain can lead to the formation of senile plaques. Tau is a structural protein in the brain. When tau becomes saturated with phosphorus groups (P-tau), it can produce neurofibrillary tangles, twisted protein fragments that develop in neurons (nerve cells) and disrupt their ability to transport signals. Neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques are considered to be the main diagnostic features of Alzheimer disease (AD) that are seen at autopsy.
The measurement of tau and Aß42 in CSF is being evaluated for potential roles in the diagnosis and monitoring of AD. It has been shown that a decrease in Aß42 with elevated tau or P-tau levels may predict the onset of AD.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A sample of cerebrospinal fluid is collected from the lower back using a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) procedure. This procedure is usually done in a hospital or clinic.
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?
This is not a blood test but one that is performed on a sample of spinal fluid. Follow any preparatory instructions provided.
The Test

The intent of this RFP is to fund the development and implementation of an Open Door site--a human services program that provides wrap-around services and meets the needs of vulnerable and underserved populations that reside in DHS' Region 5 communities.
The success of the Open Door programs in Chicago, Villa Park, Rock Island, Charleston, Marion, and West Frankfort has led DHS to seek a qualified applicant to collaborate with to develop and implement an Open Door program in DHS Region 5 Qualified applicants should have experience working with high-risk populations, a strong familiarity with DHS programs and local offices, and dynamic partnerships with other state agencies, social service providers and local municipalities in Region 5.
Open Door host sites are carefully selected based on their location and access to underserved, vulnerable, and immigrant communities. A host site is chosen based on factors including: fiscal capacity, high-quality service provision, strong relationships with the community, familiarity with triage and providing services to meet the immediate and critical needs of customers, and knowledge of the local service delivery system.
It is critical that each Open Door site has the necessary resources to be able to provide comprehensive, linguistically and culturally appropriate information about state services to a diverse community. For myriad reasons, immigrants and refugees do not typically utilize state services to the extent that they are able. As such, the state is seeking ways to make state services available in the places and in the manner that immigrants, refugees and all other underserved and Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations can easily access.
Applicants must submit a proposal that contains the information outlined below. Each section must have a heading that corresponds to the headings listed below. If the Applicant believes that the subject has been adequately addressed in another part of the application narrative, then provide the cross-reference to the appropriate part of the RFP narrative. The narrative portion must follow the page guidelines and limits set for each section and must be in the specified order below. Exceeding the prescribed page limits is grounds for automatic disqualification.
