Much of the time, college students who are able to get the classes they need and have an education plan are able to graduate early. Graduating early can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it; it worked for my fellow virtual intern Jessica but how do you know if it's right for you? Here are some questions to ask yourself:
1. Do you have job offers lined up after graduation?
2. Did you go to college close to home?
3. Did you take out loans to pay for college?
After you answer these questions, you should be able to determine if you should graduate early or not. Just remember there are pros and cons to both and you should choose the path that's right for you.
Radha Jhatakia is a communications major at San Jose State University. She's a transfer student who had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.

Although the spring semester is just barely here, it's never too soon to start thinking about what you want to do during spring break. Just the thought of spending an entire week at a sunny beach with your friends is enough to make anyone start planning but the reality is that many of us might not be able to afford to squeeze some fun in the sun into our busy schedules. For those of us who will remain at home or school, there are several options to make spring break just as fulfilling as it will be for those students hitting the beaches.
Get some rest. It might sound boring but once the semester begins, you will find yourself wishing that you had time to catch up on your sleep. Doing so during spring break allows you to recharge your body so that you can make it through the rest of the semester.
Work ahead. By now, we all know how most professors like to set deadlines for big projects and papers for the end of the semester. Doing schoolwork over spring break may not necessarily be fun but you can save yourself a great deal of stress by working ahead. When the end-of-semester chaos hits in the form of finals and papers, you will be more relaxed knowing that you are ahead of the game.
Participate in an alternative spring break. Many schools offer alternative spring breaks to students so that they can spend the week volunteering for a good cause. Not only do you give back to a community in need but future employers will be impressed to see that you spent your spring break helping others. Even if your school does not have this option, you can still go out and volunteer on your own.
It's never too early to start planning for spring break. If you plan wisely, you may have the chance to get some rest, work ahead on your homework, catch up with friends and volunteer at the same time while still managing to go back to school energized and ready to conquer the rest of the semester.

Here at Michigan Tech, new media has taken over. With our annual Winter Carnival just around the corner, the festival's queen candidates are taking a different approach to campaigning: Though most still create posters, all queen candidates have Facebook groups created in their interest where their fellow classmates can join.
How has social media affected college students? It has become ingrained in our current lives and our futures. Facebook especially has taken my school by storm – one of the girls in my classes told everyone she has one class that is taught entirely on Facebook and those enrolled communicate via the site's messenger feature. It's incredible to think that in our age of technology, we do not even have to leave our beds in order to attend college – the possibilities for future developments in this technology are unbelievable!
Social media isn't just for students anymore, either. Professors have also become more comfortable adding students as friends on Facebook and there seems to be a closer unity through utilizing Facebook as a means of communication. Even after classes have ended, professors and students can continue to interact, leaving the door open for future recommendations and references. Most companies have Twitter or Facebook accounts, too, and you will have to know how to not only work them but be able to analyze the data they produce to have an edge over other applicants. (I opened a Twitter account just because most job descriptions I read required knowledge of Facebook and Twitter.)
Even more popular social media will emerge in the future, furthering the technological shift. Twenty years from now, no one will forget the Facebook Era but what social media trends and platforms do you think are on the horizon?
In addition to being a Scholarships.com virtual intern, Michigan Tech student Kayla Herrera is a media coordinator for the Michigan Tech Youth Programs and is a writer for The Daily News in Iron Mountain, Mich., Examiner.com and WHOA Magazine. She love a tantalizing, action-packed video game and can't get enough of horror movies (Stephen King's books always have her in their grip, though she prefers the old over the new). Writing is what she has always done, and that is what she is here to do.

We've all read those articles that tell you what NOT to major in but what do you do if you're already majoring in one of the fields mentioned? Do you continue along the path you've chosen or start working toward a new goal that will cost more time and money to complete?
This is the dilemma facing architecture majors and the New York Times recently posted an article discussing how architecture majors are facing the highest unemployment rate in the nation (13.9%). Unsurprisingly, the housing market collapse has a lot to do with this and until our economy starts improving, the housing market (and the unemployment rate for those commissioned to design those houses) will likely stay where it's at.
But before all you architecture majors despair, remember that we will always need buildings. There may not be as great of a demand as there used to be but there are still plenty of job opportunities available, especially if you're willing to work in another country. From China to London and plenty of countries in between, there are lots of great options for up-and-coming architects abroad. China alone has dozens of positions available and some of them don't even require you to know Mandarin. Of course, if you've always wanted to learn Mandarin (or any other foreign language for that matter), what better way to do so than to live and work abroad? Of course, living abroad isn't for everyone and there are still employment options in the U.S. And the median salary for an architect is $55,248, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Whether you're an architecture major or a student trying to find a summer job, securing employment can be a daunting task. But as clichéd as it sounds, you will eventually find something if you keep looking. You may need to relocate in order to find what you're looking for but your hard work toward that college degree will pay off in the end.

If you're the type of student that struggled through your more difficult high school classes, doesn't have an outstanding GPA or ACT score and are worried you won't get admitted to a normal four-year college program, fear no more! Many schools around the country are implementing programs for students who may be below the normal admission averages or require extra help in the first few years of college.
The University of Minnesota's program is called Access to Success (ATS) and is specifically within the College of Liberal Arts, one of seven freshman-admitting colleges at the U. ATS is a student community that bases selection from your admission application but the community includes high school students who appear as if they will succeed in the college atmosphere and just weren't fully prepared through high school. The benefits of the program include a small learning community with special classes, tutoring support and student-to-student mentoring all while experiencing everything a college student can experience.
All students in the ATS community are assigned an ATS academic adviser who helps them explore majors and opportunities, a career counselor who helps them research and find careers that interest them and a peer mentor who helps them adjust to college life. In addition, ATS participants will have a major or college adviser who helps them declare their majors and plan their courses. The staff in the program wants its mentees to succeed and will do everything in their power to make that happen.
College really can be a good fit for everyone with programs like ATS in place. If you're interested, check out your top school's website or ask your admissions counselor for more information. Even if you're not eligible for an ATS-style program, tutoring and study tips never hurt. Every school has tutoring sessions or mentoring programs available to students – all you have to do is find them!

Outside of school, she enjoys traveling, teaching and performing music and spending time outdoors with friends and family. Katie loves all things zebra and has a necessary addiction to coffee. Her iPod is perpetually playing Death Cab for Cutie or classical music because she truly believes that when words fail, music speaks.

Adjusting to life in college can take some time but once you've mastered the campus layout, course catalog and dining options, will you be ready for the world beyond those hallowed halls? Many students are not but the skills taught in a pair of programs at Smith College could change that.
The women's college in Northampton, Mass., launched two programs – "Passport to Life at Smith" and "Passport to Life After Smith" – to address what students need to succeed on and off campus and since their debut in 2010, hundreds of students at various stages in their college careers have signed up. From being more assertive in class and emailing professors appropriately to acing job interviews and changing tires (and looking cool in the process), the courses offer tips every student would find helpful, not just Smith's female student population. "These are skills that any college student would benefit from," said Jessica Bacal, director of Smith's Center for Work and Life and the creator of the workshop series. "Just cause you're a guy it doesn't mean you're going to go into a meeting and feel really comfortable giving your opinion even though it's different from someone else's opinion."
If there are any Smithies in the audience, we'd love to hear your firsthand experiences with these programs. To everyone else, what do you think of colleges teaching courses that go beyond traditional classroom offerings? Would you take one or do you feel real-life experience is preparation enough?

One of the nice things about growing older and getting further along in your college career is that you start to network and make connections that will help outside of college. Throughout the academic year, universities hold networking events that allow current students to connect with alumni and professionals in different career fields but remember, these events are a privilege to attend and there is a proper way to act and present yourself.
Dress appropriately. You don't want to show up to these functions in jeans and a t-shirt – dress in a business casual fashion instead. It's not necessary to wear a suit or anything but you want to dress to impress so some nice slacks (or a skirt for women) with a button-down shirt or blouse will do the trick.
Don't get drunk. A lot of these events serve alcohol, which can be nice and fun (if you are over 21!) but you shouldn't take it too far. This is a business event with professors and professionals, not a Saturday night party with your friends; if you do decide to imbibe, limit yourself to just one or two glasses of wine.
Talk to everyone. The point of these functions is to network and meet people. Don't stand in a corner or only talk with the people you came with – interact with everyone there! People expect you to come up to them at these events so don't feel embarrassed or rude doing so. Universities organize these events for people to make connections and if you don't do that by talking to every person you can, it will be a waste of time.
Like I said at the beginning, these events are a privilege to attend so follow these simple guidelines and you will take full advantage of these experiences...and maybe even a job!

Upon arriving in London for study abroad, I was initially amazed by how normal everything felt. I mean, everyone speaks the same language – how different could things possibly be? But two days later, as I was standing in an endless line and waiting to register for classes, I realized that some things here might not be quite the same.
While the lack of a language barrier definitely helps (we all know what a "lift" is, right?), the British school system does its own thing. Most British universities are three years rather than four and get this: the first year doesn't even count. That's right! If Brits want to slack off their entire first year of "uni," they absolutely can. Of course, it'll affect their ability to get work placement but it won't mean anything when it comes to their degrees. This means a whole ton of drinking and skipped lectures followed by two years of mountains of work.
In America, handing in an assignment means printing it out and giving it to your professor. Not across the pond: Each assignment needs some sort of cover sheet that's provided to you on Blackboard (or the "Virtual Learning Environment") and needs to be handed into the department office. Not the lecturer or seminar tutor, but the department office. Does this make sense?
The grading system is different as well. One hundreds are completely unheard of: Eighty is basically the equivalent of a perfect score so don't freak out about getting a 60 – that's a decent grade here! There are all sorts of different labels assigned to seemingly arbitrary numbers and not even the educators have any idea why it's done like this. Trust me, I've asked.
And then, of course, there's registering for classes. British students only take classes in their "course," or major so when associate students attempt to take classes in multiple courses, the online system isn't equipped to handle it. You may be able to take out books from the school library using a touch screen and a scanner, but you have to run around to the different departments and have them physically sign you up for classes. I never thought I'd miss waking up early for my registration time back in the states!
Bottom line: No matter where you study abroad, you're going to have culture shock, even if it means writing papers with footnotes instead of in-text citations. Just smile and chalk it all up to experience!

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

One of the best resources that college can offer you (besides an education, of course) is the opportunity to find employment after graduation. There are programs dedicated to helping students in different career fields and at SJSU, one of these opportunities comes with the Bay Area Retail Leadership Center, or BARC.
BARC consists of SJSU students and faculty who have partnered up with those in the retail industry. Currently, the list of partners includes Target, Walgreens, Kohl's, Verizon Wireless, Ross, Nike and Walmart and students are able to interact with professionals at these companies and gain insight to what working for a retail corporation will be like while networking and getting potential job offers.
BARC offers a study tour during which students travel to different headquarters and main offices of these companies – an advantageous experience that happens only twice a year. Apart from this, BARC hosts conferences in which speakers present on different aspects of how to make it to the retail industry; internships are also offered. Just like with any networking opportunity, though, it is up to the student to make the most of these prospects in the end.
If there is a program like BARC at your college, take advantage of it – there are so many unexplored opportunities! – but if a program like this doesn't exist, speak with advisers and faculty to start one! It will be a great chance for you to launch a program that will not only help many individuals but will allow you to gain work experience and contacts in the professional world as well.

Most college campuses offer tutoring centers where students can have classmates help them with any academic issues. Unfortunately, some students are either too embarrassed or proud to utilize these study services but they should know there are other students out there (like me!) who are willing to assist them outside a formal tutoring environment.
I found private tutoring to be a wise choice for several reasons. If you tutor classmates for free, you may be able to document these instances as community service, which employers and admissions committees for graduate and professional schools love to see. If you charge a fee for your services, however, it also allows you to make some extra money on the side while reviewing material you need for your own classes. Tutoring also allows you to make connections across campus by meeting new people who could eventually become good friends with; you may also encounter someone who might return the favor by tutoring you if you ever need help in their area of expertise. You are not limited to tutoring your fellow college students, either: You can also sign up to tutor at a local high school, middle school or elementary school – a move that allows you to make connections in the community and help you when you look for employment in the future.
Tutoring is a win-win situation and I would encourage all college students to try it if you have the chance – you never know where it could lead!

Brian Michael Good is a self-made man. He has lived a life buffeted by character-altering hurricanes. His life storms began in his trauma-filled childhood within his dysfunctional family.
He survived childhood verbal, physical, and sexual abuse; the death of two siblings; the stigma of being homeless – not once, but three times; two bankruptcies; a six-pound cancer that was doubling every two months; a near-fatal suicide attempt in 2003; the death of his best friend; three divorces; and the rejection of his only daughter.
How can one man encounter so many hurricanes, survive them, learn from them, and then strive to make the world a better place? This was the question Brian asked himself that led to "Never Surrender Your Soul."

Excerpt –
We are taught to nurture the health of our body, mind, and soul; often they are neglected. While our health declines as each year passes, we value our soul more knowing that it is all that will remain.
We are born with free will, a soul, and a ticket to the afterlife. Your soul comes with a passport and visa with a destination of the afterlife. Your passport is your free will, which allows you to choose your belief system. You should nurture your belief system (your visa) as a mother nurtures an infant. It is best to choose a belief system that allows you to be fair-minded and even-handed. Be aware you may lose your visa based on the belief system you choose, making your ticket to the afterlife with your soul unable to reach your desired destination. Your ticket to the afterlife is your soul. Decide to keep your ticket to the afterlife by never surrendering your soul and count yourself a survivor.
If you surrender your visa, making your passport useless and thus your ticket to the afterlife worthless, one may not make it to the afterlife except for Weshemehe [my universal word for "God"] of second chances.
Reincarnation is a possibility. Even if one could prove reincarnation to be true, each life of reincarnation would most likely get substantially harder… especially if you kill, die by suicide, steal, or take someone's free will. If you screwed up in a lifetime and surrendered your soul in your present life, you have until your last breath to meet your true destiny. A true destiny must be met without greed or thirst for money. It must be unselfish and spiritual in nature, only then will Weshemehe consider giving you a second chance. Continue reading

- May Day - A traditional holiday celebration since ancient times. On this day, spring festivals and Maypoles are common. The Maypole is a tall pole that is covered with streamers, flowers and other decorations of spring. People grab hold of a streamer and dance around the pole to ward off ol' man Winter for good. It is a way to shake the dreary winter blues once and for all. Since the 1880s, May Day has been celebrated in some countries, particularly socialist nations, as a labor holiday. In Hawaii, May Day is Lei Day. It's a day when friends, lovers, bosses, relatives ... just about anyone and everyone ... gives the gift of a lei to another, putting it around the receiver's neck and accompanying it with the traditional kiss. This custom of sharing the aloha spirit with a beautiful floral lei on Lei Day began in 1928. There are many celebrations throughout the Hawaiian islands; some complete with pageants, a Lei Queen and her court, Hawaiian music and hula dances.

- On This Day In …
- 1486 --- Christopher Columbus convinced Queen Isabella to fund an expedition to the West Indies.
- 1751 --- America's first cricket tournament was held in New York City. Cricket is a popular European sport, played by teams of 11 players who use bats, balls and wickets.
- 1786 --- In Vienna, the hothead composer Mozart threatened to burn "The Marriage of Figaro" unless it was performed ahead of another composer's latest opera. Mozart won.
- 1883 --- William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) had his first Wild West Show.
- 1889 --- The Bayer company of Germany introduced aspirin in powdered form.
- 1889 --- Asa Candler published a full-page advertisement in The Atlanta Journal, proclaiming his wholesale and retail drug business as "sole proprietors of Coca-Cola ... Delicious. Refreshing. Exhilarating. Invigorating."
- 1920 --- The longest baseball game (by innings) was played. The Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Dodgers played an incredible 26 innings -- with the same pitchers! Leon Cadore of Brooklyn and Boston's Joe Oeschger went the distance and saw the game end in a 1-1 tie.
- 1931 --- President Herbert Hoover officially dedicates New York City's Empire State Building, pressing a button from the White House that turns on the building's lights. Hoover's gesture, of course, was symbolic; while the president remained in Washington, D.C., someone else flicked the switches in New York. The idea for the Empire State Building is said to have been born of a competition between Walter Chrysler of the Chrysler Corporation and John Jakob Raskob of General Motors, to see who could erect the taller building. Chrysler had already begun work on the famous Chrysler Building, the gleaming 1,046-foot skyscraper in midtown Manhattan. Not to be bested, Raskob assembled a group of well-known investors, including former New York Governor Alfred E. Smith. The group chose the architecture firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon Associates to design the building. The Art-Deco plans, said to have been based in large part on the look of a pencil, were also builder-friendly: The entire building went up in just over a year, under budget (at $40 million) and well ahead of schedule. During certain periods of building, the frame grew an astonishing four-and-a-half stories a week.
- 1941 --- Citizen Kane, now revered as one of the greatest movies in history, made its debut at the smaller RKO Palace Theater. By the time he began working on Citizen Kane, the 24-year-old Welles had already made a name for himself as Hollywood's enfant terrible. He first found success on Broadway and on the radio; his October 1938 broadcast version of the science-fiction classic The War of the Worlds was so realistic that many listeners actually believed Martians had invaded New Jersey. Having signed a lucrative contract with RKO studios, Welles was struggling to find a subject for his first feature film when his friend, the writer Herman Mankiewicz, suggested that he base it on the life of the publishing baron William Randolph Hearst. Hearst presided over the country's leading newspaper empire, ruling it from San Simeon, a sprawling estate perched atop a hill along California's central coastline. A preview of Citizen Kane in early February 1941 had drawn almost universally favorable reviews from critics. However, one viewer, the leading Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, was incensed by the film and Welles' portrayal of its protagonist, Charles Foster Kane. She took her concerns to Hearst himself, who soon began waging a full-scale campaign against Welles and his film, barring the Hearst newspapers from running ads for it and enlisting the support of Hollywood bigwigs such as Louis B. Mayer of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was said Hearst was particularly angry over the movie's depiction of a character based on his companion, Marion Davies, a former showgirl whom he had helped become a popular Hollywood actress. For his part, Welles threatened to sue Hearst for trying to suppress the film and also to sue RKO if the company did not release the film. When Citizen Kane finally opened in May 1941, it was a failure at the box office. Although reviews were favorable, and it was nominated for nine Academy Awards, Welles was booed at that year's Oscar ceremony, and RKO quietly archived the film. It was only years later, when it was re-released, that Citizen Kane began to garner well-deserved accolades for its pioneering camera and sound work, as well as its complex blend of drama, black comedy, history, biography and even fake-newsreel or "mockumentary" footage that has informed hundreds of films produced since then. It consistently ranks at the top of film critics' lists, most notably grabbing the No. 1 spot on the American Film Institute's poll of America's 100 Greatest Films.
- 1960 --- An American U-2 spy plane is shot down while conducting espionage over the Soviet Union. The incident derailed an important summit meeting between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev that was scheduled for later that month. The U-2 spy plane was the brainchild of the Central Intelligence Agency, and it was a sophisticated technological marvel. Traveling at altitudes of up to 70,000 feet, the aircraft was equipped with state-of-the-art photography equipment that could, the CIA boasted, take high-resolution pictures of headlines in Russian newspapers as it flew overhead. Flights over the Soviet Union began in mid-1956. The CIA assured President Eisenhower that the Soviets did not possess anti-aircraft weapons sophisticated enough to shoot down the high-altitude planes. On May 1, 1960, a U-2 flight piloted by Francis Gary Powers disappeared while on a flight over Russia. The CIA reassured the president that, even if the plane had been shot down, it was equipped with self-destruct mechanisms that would render any wreckage unrecognizable and the pilot was instructed to kill himself in such a situation. Based on this information, the U.S. government issued a cover statement indicating that a weather plane had veered off course and supposedly crashed somewhere in the Soviet Union. With no small degree of pleasure, Khrushchev pulled off one of the most dramatic moments of the Cold War by producing not only the mostly-intact wreckage of the U-2, but also the captured pilot-very much alive. A chagrined Eisenhower had to publicly admit that it was indeed a U.S. spy plane.
- 1970 --- Students at Kent State University riot in downtown Kent, OH, in protest of the American invasion of Cambodia.
- 1970 --- Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin combined for the first time on Elton's first American album simply titled, Elton John. The LP contained Elton's first hit, Your Song, which made it to the top ten on the music charts in December.
- 1971 --- The National Railroad Passenger Corp. (Amtrak) went into service. It was established by the U.S. Congress to run the nation's intercity railroads.
- 1999 --- On Mount Everest, a group of U.S. mountain climbers discovered the body of George Mallory. Mallory had died in June of 1924 while trying to become the first person to reach the summit of Everest. At the time of the discovery it was unclear whether or not Mallory had actually reached the summit.
- 2002 --- A Christchurch, New Zealand, man received a phone call from police saying there were armed officers surrounding his house. The 33-year-old was told to walk out with his arms in the air and no weapons. When he got outside there was no one there and he went back in. A police negotiator still on the phone then realized he had the wrong telephone number.

Micromastia, or breast hypoplasia, is a medical term describing the postpubertal underdevelopment of a woman's breast tissue.[1] Just as it is impossible to define 'normal' breast size, there is no objective definition of micromastia. Breast development is commonly asymmetric and one or both breasts may be small. This condition may be a congenital defect associated with underlying abnormalities of the pectoral muscle (as in Poland's syndrome[2]), related to trauma (typically surgery or radiotherapy) or it may be a more subjective aesthetic description.
Self perceived micromastia involves a discrepancy between a person's body image, and her internalized images of appropriate or desirable breast size and shape. Societal ideals over breast size vary over time, but there exist many conceived ideas involving breasts and sexual attractiveness and identity across different cultures.
The procedure to remedy micromastia is most commonly augmentation mammoplasty using breast implants. Other techniques available involve using muscle flap-based reconstructive surgery techniques (latissimus dorsi and rectus abdominus muscles), microsurgical reconstruction, or fat grafting.

COVINGTON - For the last three years, Conyers resident Darrel King has been making sure soldiers deployed overseas get a taste of home. A hot cup of Starbucks coffee, to be exact.King has partnered with seven area Starbucks stores, including the one in Conyers, to solicit donations from customers of 1-pound bags of the speciality coffee to ship to the troops. Customers purchase the bags for between $9.95 and $13.95 per pound. They're then asked to write a personal message of thanks and well wishes on the bag with a marker famously used by Starbucks employees to write orders on coffee cups. King collects donations weekly from the Starbucks in Conyers, Tucker, Lawrenceville, Monroe, Madison and McDonough. Right now, he's got about 800 pounds of coffee that will be shipped out Monday to soldiers in Iraq, Iran, Germany and a base in Virginia. Often, donors give the names and addresses of specific soldiers, and King makes sure the coffee gets to them. An Army veteran, King said he knows what it's like to be far away from loved ones, and he just wants to give the troops some comfort. "I have a heart for them. I remember what it was like in the Army on border patrol at Christmas time, thinking of home," he said. So popular have the Starbucks gift bags been that soldiers of the 7th Sustainment Brigade serving in Iraq have built a coffee shop where they can sit and enjoy the treat, the brigade's chaplain wrote King in a thank-you e-mail. The Warpaint Squadron out of Savannah that served in Operation Iraqi Freedom also sent King thanks in the form of a certificate of appreciation. "Your contributions were crucial to the success of the unit mission both individually and collectively throughout the deployment and in returning home," the certificate states. But King is quick to point out he doesn't do the work alone. Pastor Jeff Meyers of First Baptist Church of Conyers pays for all the shipping. The money does not come out of the church fund, but Meyers' own bank account. The shipment that will go out Monday is costing him about $250. "I'm a big supporter of our military. I've had friends that served and family that served. I never personally did. I think because I never personally served I'm so grateful to the men and women who do," Meyers said. Included in every package are CDs, Bibles and other faith-based reading materials. "We know they're going to drink the coffee. We hope and pray that they digest the other materials," Meyers said. Also essential to the project is cooperation from Starbucks managers. Kelley Smith, manager of the Starbucks in Conyers, has embraced the project. "It's definitely a community push," Smith said. "We're in a good community here in Conyers ... the feeling out here is that they care. That pushes us to care." If donations are low, managers of Starbucks try to pitch in, Smith said. But for the most part, it's the customers who keep it going. The giving is contagious, she said, noting that one customer recently bought 10 bags, inspiring 15 more customers to buy. Customers have even bought coffee pressers to send, Smith said. She added that soldiers are now requesting Starbucks stir sticks. "We've got nice stir sticks. They stand up in the elements," she said. Now that the Georgia National Guard's 48th Brigade, including soldiers based at the Covington Armory, are shipping out to Afghanistan, this is a perfect opportunity for the community to help their own, King said. Those who would like to help should come by Starbucks, located at 1515 Ga. Highway 138 N.E., and tell an employee the purchase is for the troops. Donors are welcome to leave names and addresses where they'd like the coffee to be sent. "We want folks here to know they can support them with something other than calls or e-mails, with something tangible," King said. Crystal Tatum can be reached at email@example.com.

06 August 2013 13:09 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) on Tuesday reported a 21% decline in second-quarter net income to $223m (€167m), mainly because of an inventory charge and foreign currency hedging losses related to its acquisition of Australia's GrainCorp.
In addition, the US-based agribusiness group recorded a provision for a settlement with US government agencies "pertaining to potential violations of anti-corruption practices," it said.
However, underlying segment operating profit rose 19% year on year to $647m, driven by a $149m increase in the corn processing segment, which benefited from improved ethanol results.
ADM's sales for the three months ended 30 June were $22.5bn, compared with $22.7bn in the same period a year earlier.
"The team managed well through this period, as tight US crop supplies reduced volumes," said ADM CEO Patricia Woertz.
"Also, corn results improved amid volatile ethanol industry conditions," she added.

Re: Volvo Problems
Assume it's raw water cooled and been running hot since you first noticed the steam. One cause could have been salt buildup at the mixing elbow or thruout the engine by now. Another cause could be a cracked cylinder ,head or head gasket .Before you rip it all out, make sure of good water supply in to pump no possibility of air lock and no stoppage from there to engine and out to exhaust. and exhaust is unimpeded .Good luck in the preliminary trouble shoot.

Following North Korea's detonation of an underground nuclear device on February 12, 2013, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted stringent new sanctions targeting North Korea, which require nations to crack down on North Korean financial transactions and check cargo suspected of containing nuclear and missile-related contraband, actions that before were only voluntary. The export to North Korea of luxury items such as yachts and luxury automobiles is also now banned.

Key events in the expansive, ongoing manhunt for Christopher Dorner, the fired Los Angeles police officer suspected of killing three people — including a police officer in Southern California — and posting a manifesto on Facebook outlining plans to kill the families of those he says have wronged him, all times approximate:
— Sunday, Feb. 3: An assistant women's college basketball coach and her fiance are found shot to death in their car in Irvine, Calif. Police learn later the woman was the daughter of a retired Los Angeles police captain who represented Dorner in disciplinary hearings that resulted in his dismissal from the force.
— Monday, Feb. 4: Some of Dorner's belongings, including police equipment, are found in a trash bin in suburban San Diego, linking him to Irvine killings.
— Wednesday, Feb. 6: Police announce finding Dorner's manifesto online.
— 10:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 6: A man matching Dorner's description makes a failed attempt to steal a boat from a San Diego marina. An 81-year-old man on the vessel is tied up but otherwise unharmed.
— 1:30 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 7: LAPD officers, protecting a person named in the manifesto, chase a vehicle they believe is Dorner's. One officer is grazed in the forehead by a bullet during a shootout, and the gunman flees.
A short time later, a shooter believed to be Dorner ambushes two Riverside police officers during a routine patrol. One officer is killed, and the other critically injured.
— 2:20 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 7: A shuttle bus driver turns in a wallet with an LAPD badge and a picture ID of Dorner to San Diego police. The wallet was found fewer than five miles from the boat, near San Diego International Airport.
— 5 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 7: LAPD officers guarding a manifesto target in the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance open fire on a truck they mistakenly believe to be Dorner's. A mother and daughter delivering the newspaper are injured.
A short time later, Torrance police are involved in a second shooting involving a different truck they also mistake for Dorner's. Nobody is hurt.

South Carolina's NESA Region Hosts U.S.D.A. Great Regions Conference
FLORENCE, S.C., Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.) Rural Development held a conference in Florence, S.C., following its designation of South Carolina's NESA region as one of America's "great regions." The conference brought together key local, state and federal stakeholders from the government and business communities, in a cooperative effort aimed at aiding development of the region.
NESA is the local economic development organization – the North Eastern Strategic Alliance – that encompasses nine counties in the northeast corner of the South Carolina. The conference comes on the heels of NESA having successfully secured a $50,000 U.S.D.A. Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG), which will help it fund a strategic plan and feasibility study aimed at boosting agribusiness in the NESA region.
The mission of the agribusiness development initiative is to seek collaborative partnerships with public and private sector entities to bring new agribusiness opportunities to the region, resulting in job creation, capital investment, and improvement to the quality of life in the region.
"We are thrilled and take enormous pride in being named one of America's 'great regions'," said Sen. J. Yancey McGill (D-32), Chairman of NESA's executive committee. "The recognition is a strong testimonial to our core strengths: a top quality workforce, low taxes and a community that is laser-focused on bringing and retaining good companies in our region."
"The NESA Region was designated as a USDA 'Great Regions' in September 2010 for its agribusiness development. Regional collaboration is one of Secretary Vilsack's priorities and this conference will bring together federal, local and state agencies to focus on regional collaboration in rural South Carolina. We are here to discuss key issues and ideas for implementing technical assistance and providing a variety of resources to this 'Great Region'. Our objective is to enhance rural prosperity while creating thriving and viable communities throughout rural America," said Vernita F. Dore, State Director of USDA Rural Development in South Carolina.
The North Eastern Strategic Alliance (NESA) is a regional economic development organization that serves a nine-county region in the northeast corner of South Carolina. NESA's primary objective is to enhance significantly the quality of life for residents of the region by creating additional jobs and capital investment within the existing industry base as well as through recruitment of new companies and expansion of tourism related development. NESA's nine member counties are Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Marion, Marlboro, and Williamsburg.

SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects associated with lorazepam are:
Other side effects include:
WARNING: Like all benzodiazepines, lorazepam can cause physical dependence. Suddenly stopping therapy after a few months of daily therapy may be associated with a feeling of loss of self-worth, agitation, and insomnia. If lorazepam is taken continuously for longer than a few months, stopping therapy suddenly may produce seizures, tremors, muscle cramping, vomiting, and sweating.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 0.5, 1, and 2 mg. Oral solution: 2 mg/ml. Injection: 2 mg/ml and 4 mg/ml
STORAGE: Tablets should be kept at room temperature 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F). Oral solutions should be refrigerated at 2 C to 8 C (36 F to 46 F). Injectable solutions should be refrigerated.
DOSING: The dose of lorazepam is tailored to the patient's needs. The usual dose for treating anxiety is 2-6 mg orally every 8 to 12 hours as needed. Insomnia is treated with 2-4 mg given at bedtime.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Lorazepam and all benzodiazepines accentuate the effects of other drugs that slow the brain's processes such as alcohol, barbiturates, narcotics, and tranquilizers, and the combination of lorazepam and these drugs may lead to excessive sedation. There have been cases of marked sedation when lorazepam was given to patients taking the tranquilizer loxapine (Loxitane); it is unclear if there is a drug interaction, but caution should be used if lorazepam and loxapine are used together.
PREGNANCY: Lorazepam and other benzodiazepines have been associated with fetal damage, including congenital malformations, when taken by pregnant women in their first trimester. Lorazepam is best avoided if at all possible in the first trimester and probably throughout pregnancy.
NURSING MOTHERS: Lorazepam is excreted in breast milk and should be avoided during pregnancy.

by James Slater - Brian "The Beast" Minto, who has for years has battled men much greater in size than he is, has now dropped down to cruiserweight, and will challenge WBO 200-pound ruler Marco Huck in Germany on May 1st.
35-year-old Minto, 34-3(21) said after his recent stoppage loss to the much bigger Chris Arreola that he would look to fight guys his own size in the future; and now, in dropping down from approx 218-pounds, Minto will clash with the once-beaten "Kapn' Huck."
Very kindly giving me the following interview in which he spoke about the upcoming title fight, Minto had the following answers to my questions:
James Slater: First of all, Brian, how has training camp been going for the Huck fight, so far?
Brian Minto: Training has been going good, I'm getting in top condition with Alex Ariza, and Freddie's [Roach] been working me daily as well. The sparring is always world class here at The Wildcard Gym..
J.S: Who have you been sparring with at Wildcard?
B.M: I've been working with Ola Afolabi, who fought Huck of course.
J.S: Do you see any potential problems in getting down to 200-pounds for this fight?
B.M: No, it's not been a problem at all. I'm already on weight. I began working to get the weight off after the [Chris] Arreola fight (in December). I just cannot afford to give up 45-pounds [to an opponent] any more.
J.S: Do you feel you will be the stronger, more powerful man in this fight - after having been used to giving away so much weight in many of your others fights?
B.M: Well, my power hasn't changed a bit but I'm a lot quicker at this weight. I was ready to drop down after the Arreola fight, but if the opportunity did come at heavyweight, and if the money was right, I would have taken that opportunity. But now I am ready for this once in a lifetime shot, and I'm ready. That's why I didn't need a tune-up for this fight.
J.S: Do you feel Huck is the best of the current champions at 200-pounds?
B.M: Steve Cunningham beat him, so no, you can't say that he is the best out there; especially as he never fights outside of Germany. I've watched quite a bit of Huck - I've seen his fights with guys like [Jean Marc] Monrose and Ola Afolabi of course. I'd say Huck is a basic European, disciplined fighter, who is physically strong. I'd compare him to Luan Krasniqi, who I fought (and lost a close decision to up at heavyweight), but not quite as strong.
J.S: How do you see the fight going, will you look to brawl, and will he do the same - or will he try to outbox you do you think?
B.M: I'm not sure! I know I'm not gonna change my style. You'll find out [how the fight unfolds] when the bell rings! I respect any man who is a champion, but by no means I am in any way scared of Huck (laughs).
J.S: You've fought in Germany before, of course - against Axel Schulz (a stoppage win) and Krasniqi. Are you looking forward to going back?
B.M: Yes, I like fighting in Germany. They always give you a warm welcome over there; I have a lot of fans there. Let's just hope the judges and the referee is fair.
J.S: Thanks so much for your time, Brian. With your exciting style, do you feel a win will make you a new star of the cruiserweight division?
B.M: I am planning on bringing the weight class a new superstar! Who the fans will ALWAYS want to come and see fight.

Wolfgang Puck Premieres His New Counter-top Appliance, the Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven
Wolfgang Puck's latest breakthrough counter-top product, the Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven, will change the way consumers cook. It is the newest kitchen appliance developed out of Puck's search to find innovative ways to cook food faster and better.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 06, 2013
After two and a half years of development, Wolfgang Puck is introducing his breakthrough countertop oven – The Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven. It is the latest kitchen appliance developed out of Puck's search to find innovative ways to cook food faster and better.
The Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven technology accelerates the cook time and infuses food with flavor by cooking in a sealed, pressurized compartment. Independent lab tests prove the Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven cooks in a fraction of the time of conventional ovens. Consumers will be able to roast poultry in 1/3 of the time and beef and pork in half the time. Its capabilities don't stop there: Home cooks will also be able to roast, bake, broil, re-heat, and rotisserie-cook using a fraction of the energy of a conventional oven. See the Pressure Oven's capabilities and Wolfgang making some of his favorite foods in the Pressure Oven videos.
"I'm always on the search for better and faster ways to make delicious food. So, I am proud to bring you the world premiere of my new countertop oven. It will speed up your cooking time and infuse your dishes with lots of flavor," said Puck.
A select number of Wolfgang Puck enthusiasts and bloggers have already made the Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven a part of their kitchen and are responding positively to the ease, the quicker cooking times, and the flavorful results.
"If you want to save time in the kitchen without sacrificing quality, this is definitely the kitchen appliance you need," says blogger Ellen Christian. Blogger Colleen Shibley states how this "little but powerful" oven is now a "perfect addition" to her home.
Currently, the oven is being sold online at PuckOven.com or via the toll-free number 877-358-9747. You can make five easy payments of $59.99 or a single payment of $299.95. There will be an expanded market release beginning in January 2014 that will align with the premiere of a feature show starring Chef Puck. Major retail availability will come in mid-2014.

Soooo.. we got given a toddler bed a few monthes ago by a friend of ours who was getting rid of it. Until today it was sitting in the room unused but for stuffed animal storage. DD and I were at target and spotted some cute toddler sheets on sale. She picked out a set she liked and when we got home she begged to go lay down on them. I let her and them 20 mins later she was up saying she was hungry. Well since she didn't eat lunch before laying down I let her munch on some lunch and am about to try it again. Any advice for keeping her in bed?

Just be consistent and put her back in when she gets out. Super Nanny would say to pick her up silently and place her back in bed every time she gets out, but don't speak to her.

I second that motion. Consistency is the only thing that has helped us, but it doesn't necessarily mean after weeks of reinforcement that your daughter will stop getting out of bed. My son still gets out of bed if he feels he's not tired enough (or just having too much fun) to sleep, so I put up a baby gate on his door, put blackout shades on the windows during daytime naps and turn on a sound machine. It keeps him in his room and makes it harder for him to play. So, he usually ends up talking himself to sleep with a toy in hand. Has worked much better for us along with the reinforcement of putting him back in bed whenever he opens the door and whines at the gate.

Oxnard man sustains head injury fleeing from police
An Oxnard man sustained a skull fracture Saturday night while attempting to escape from police on a bicycle, authorities said.
Officers received reports that Frank DeLaTorre, 45, was disturbing and violating a restraining order at his mother's house in the 1100 block of South G Street about 8:15 p.m., according to the Oxnard Police Department.
While officers were standing in front of the house, DeLaTorre rode into the driveway on his bicycle. The officers called out to DeLaTorre, but he took off on the bicycle, police said.
Officer Edward Baldwin was standing in the street when he saw two officers running after DeLaTorre, according to police. DeLaTorre rode his bicycle toward Baldwin and intentionally turned sharply into him, causing both men to fall, police said.
DeLaTorre hit his head and lost consciousness, police said. Officers gave first aid and called the Fire Department and an ambulance. DeLaTorre was taken to St. John's Regional Medical Center in Oxnard, where he was found to have a skull fracture, police said. His condition was unknown Tuesday night. Baldwin suffered cuts and bruises.
Upon release from the hospital, DeLaTorre will be arrested on suspicion of assault on a police officer with injury and resisting arrest, officials said.

Holding Medical Council of India (MCI) responsible for the deterioration in standard of medical colleges, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan today said senior doctors should promote values which formed part of medical community in earlier generations. "They (MCI) have not fulfilled their task," the Minister said as he referred to the general perception that the quality of medical colleges were not up to old standards.
"It was therefore up to senior doctors to continuously promote the values which formed part of the medical community in earlier generations," he said during his visit to Safdarjung Hospital. "All doctors should consider themselves privileged to be able to serve their families as well as society. The greatest challenge for a doctor is to be a good human being," Vardhan said.
The Health Minister who visited the RML Hospital and AIIMS over the past two days asked the medical community to begin a process of introspection without which they cannot hope to conquer disease. "We conquered polio by tapping the best in people, and I am sure we can do it in the case of meeting all the Millennium Development Goals before the target date," he said.
The Minister also asked doctors to promote rational use of essential drugs. "Young doctors should be trained in this principle which has been recommended by WHO. Patients should be administered drugs appropriate to their clinical needs in doses that meet their requirements. However, the present culture seems to be to write out medicines without thought to their justifiability," he said.
He instructed the Medical Superintendent of Safdarjung hospital to initiate the process of training of junior doctors about rational use of drugs as soon as they join hospitals.

The big newspapers tell us the currently important dramas in the 2008 presidential race are the "money primary" and the "talent primary." But what about the college kids–clicking–on–things primary? A story published on The Nation's Website last week on Barack Obama's appeal to young people mentioned that the Facebook group "One Million Strong for Obama" boasted 272,000 members. In the five days since the story was published — covering a road-trip-friendly three-day weekend — the group added 17,000 new members. (Any Facebooker can join the group, which is unaffiliated with the campaign and features information on rallies and donations and so forth.) "One Million Strong for Hillary," meantime, has held steady at around 3,700 members. That's about as many people as Obama attracted in each of the last five days — or, put another way, about 24,000 Internet-savvy college-age kids less than are "Addicted to Grey's Anatomy."

Re: Uniforms
TOS uniforms were pretty good, fairly practical aside from the miniskirts, but whatever.
TMP uniforms were a bit too dressy.
TWOK - TUC all seemed too 'busy', there was just too much going on; I didn't buy them as practical pieces of attire.
TNG S1 + 2 looked like spandex pajamas. The design was OK overall but the piping and the overall pajama-ness was irritating.
TNG S3 onwards were pretty good, they looked striking without being too loud and plausibly functional. I especially like Picard's grey 'smoking jacket' deal.
DS9's colour inversion deal looked great in mid-shots but full length seemed a bit boiler-suitesque. I assume they experimented with some color at the top of the pants but didn't find it looked good or something.
The switch to grey with coloured undershirt was probably the most plausible overall as an actual uniform. Slightly dull when you look at each shot, but understandable thematically, as the show was taking a darker turn and depicting a major conflict. It sort of felt right.
I don't recall much about Voyager.
I liked Enterprise's uniforms, even though they looked full-on like boiler-suits. I appreciated the way they didn't try to emulate at all anything we'd seen before, it seemed a bold and appropriate choice. As with the late-DS9 uniforms it seemed to mesh well with the concept of the show - early doors, things not working perfectly, all kinds of frills we're used to just not existing yet, that kind of thing. T'Pol's early uniform was nice but a bit silly. Not sure what's so logical about skintight jumpsuits. Her later uniform was less titillating but more plausible.
^I never would have thought I had such strong and lengthy opinions on the uniforms before. I never really thought about it.

Gloucestershire bowl Derbyshire out for 278 on day two
It's the end of day two in the Division Two match between Gloucestershire and Derbyshire.
Gloucestershire bowled out Derbyshire for 278 in their first innings. The visitors finished today 21 for 2.
The match at the County Ground had earlier been interrupted by rain delays.
Cricket Club continues fight to keep teens in country
A cricket club in Bristol that's been campaigning for the release of two teenagers from a detention centre says it won't give up fighting for them to be granted asylum.
Ahad and Anum Rizvi are facing deportation if the Home Office turns down their application - separating them from their family. Laura Makin-Isherwood reports.
Cricket siblings released from immigration centre
Two Bristol siblings have been released from an immigration removal centre after more than a month in detention.
Ahad Rizvi, 19, is a keen cricketer at the Easton Cowboys Club in Bristol; last night he was already back practising in the cricket nets. The club has run a vigorous fundraising and publicity campaign to keep the siblings in the country.
Ahad and his sister Anum, 20, came to the UK from Pakistan to join their parents, who claimed asylum here; as minority Shi'a Muslims, the family say they have received death threats from Taliban militants in their home country.
But once Ahad and Anum turned 18, they had to apply for their own asylum. These bids have failed, and they are reaching the end of the appeals process. However, after a bail hearing was cancelled this week, authorities have temporarily allowed them home to Bristol.
Local MP Kerry McCarthy, who has supported their campaign, has emphasised that their legal status has not changed with their release, however.
Gloucestershire host Somerset in first T20 clash
A West Country derby between Somerset and Gloucestershire marks the start of this summer's T20 Blast cricket competition.
It is taking place at the newly redeveloped County Ground in Bristol. Both teams are determined to make a positive start to the competition - Somerset finished runners-up in three of the last five years and lifted the trophy back in 2005. Gloucestershire reached the final in 2007.
We hear the hopes of Somerset's Nick Compton and Director of Cricket, Dave Nosworthy as well as those of Gloucestershire's Will Tavare.
New cricket season starts this weekend
The new cricket season gets underway this weekend. Gloucestershire begin their County Championship second division opener against Hampshire on Sunday.
It will be the first match to be played in front of the new pavilion - the centrepiece of an ongoing and major redevelopment of the County Ground.
Trescothick: "I sympathise with Trott"
Somerset captain Marcus Trescothick says he sympathises with England batsman Jonathan Trott who has left the Ashes tour in Australia because of a stress related illness.
Trescothick left the 2005-06 India tour and the 2006-07 Ashes tour of Australia due to a similar condition. He told Sky Sports: "You just can't take any more, you just can't get through the day let alone go out there and play a Test match and a Test match. I sympathise with Trotty.
"I've been in that exact situation in '06 and '07 and tried to make that decision knowing that the consequences and all the attention it's going to bring on to you are going to be tough.
"I think we just need to allow a bit of time, that's the key at this point."
Trescothick to captain Somerset in 2014
Somerset County Cricket Club has announced that Marcus Trescothick will captain the team in 2014, with James Hildreth vice-captain. It is Trescothick's fifth year in the role, but a first for Hildreth.
