North Central College ranks among the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.
The public is invited to meet volunteers who helped build the Illinois Prairie Path and view materials from the organization's archives during an open house Aug. 11 at North Central College.
The Illinois Prairie Path Archives Open House takes place from 1 to 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 11, in the lower level of North Central College's Oesterle Library, 320 E. School St., Naperville.
North Central College is recognized for excellence in the 2014-2015 Colleges of Distinction directory.
Colleges of Distinction is a guide that considers the views of guidance counselors, educators and admission professionals to honor colleges that excel in four areas of undergraduate education: engaged students, great teaching, vibrant communities and successful outcomes.
The 15th annual edition praises North Central College and its commitment to those four core values.
A North Central College program that helps prepare future educators is serving as a model for a new program to improve opportunities for all the College's first-generation students.
Teach First—which aims to recruit and retain first-generation college students who want to become teachers—was launched at North Central in 2008. Six years later it's serving as a model for Cardinal First that launches in fall 2014.
Laura Ávila, daughter of Sergio and Maria Ávila of Des Plaines, was awarded the Outstanding Major in Social Science/History Award during Honors Convocation May 13 at North Central College in Naperville.
A senior, Laura is majoring in social science/history at North Central College. She is a graduate of Maine Township High School West.
As a student at North Central, Laura founded the North Central History Association and served as the association's viceroy. She is a member of the history honor society Phi Alpha Theta and hopes to teach in a high-need school.
Heather Schild learned a lot about leadership and the responsibilities of being a school principal while she studied for her master's degree in education (MAEd) at North Central College.
For two years while enrolled in North Central's principal-preparation program, Schild worked as an Instructional Coordinator in Naperville Community Unit School District 203 and reported directly to Naperville North High School Principal Kevin Pobst.
"I thought North Central's program was rigorous and provided a lot of authentic experiences," Schild says.
North Central College is the new home of stories, photographs, illustrations and other materials that chronicle the 50-year history of the Illinois Prairie Path.
The College in early February accepted delivery of the Prairie Path archives, which had previously been stored in an archive work space in downtown Wheaton. The Prairie Path's board voted in early January to donate the collection of legal documents, artwork and other historical materials to the College, which plans to hold an open house on a future date to be announced.
North Central College will send a record 44 students to the prestigious National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) April 3-5 at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Forty proposals submitted by these students were accepted for presentation.
North Central College has been recognized as a top college for teacher education in the state of Illinois by The College Database, a comprehensive source for U.S. college and university data.
The Online College Database's new ranking, "Top Colleges in Illinois Shaping the Next Generation," honors the post-secondary institutions in the state that graduated the most education and teaching professionals during the 2012 school year.
Hundreds of North Central College students will study abroad, participate in service trips, enroll in Verandah courses and take advantage of other distinctive opportunities during D-Term.
D-Term is a three-week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas that offers students possibilities to engage in life-enriching experiences.
This year's study abroad destinations include France, China, London, Argentina and Uruguay, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, Italy and Greece, Germany and Costa Rica.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

As one of the most sought after men in Hollywood right now it seems that Bradley Cooper is more than happy to take his pick of beautiful women.
Are Suki and Bradley getting togther? Copyright [Rex]
And the latest lucky girl to be linked to the ladies man is model Suki Waterhouse.
The two were spotted leaving last night's Elle Style Awards together, getting into the same taxi.
According to The Metro, the 20-year-old beauty and the 38-year-old actor spent the evening flirting with each other despite it being believed that Suki is currently in a relationship.
[Related article: Jennifer Lawrence admits to having 'sexual chemistry' with Bradley Cooper, but only on screen]
But Suki isn't the only lady to have caught Bradley's eye during an awards bash over the past week.
Following Sunday's BAFTA awards, Bradley and stunning actress Alice Eve, 31, were spotted dancing up a storm together at Harvey Weinstein's official after party.
Suki and Bradley left in the same taxi. Copyright [Splash]
Bradley Cooper has also been linked to his Silver Lining's Playbook co-star Jennifer Lawrence, however, the two have both publicly stated that they are nothing more than good friends.
The actor has been enjoying single life following his split from Avatar actress Zoe Saldana, 34, last December.
Despite the actress' alleged attempts to get back together with Bradley, the actor has denied her a reconciliation.
Well it's clear that Bradley is more than enjoying the life of a bachelor.

The Indianapolis Colts' trade for cornerback Vontae Davis ended up costing them just one draft pick, ESPN reported Sunday. Before the season, the Colts acquired Davis from the Miami Dolphins for a second- and conditional sixth-round pick. Reportedly, the condition of the sixth-round pick was that Davis had to play at least 65 percent of the Colts' defensive plays during the regular season. A sprained left knee caused Davis to play less than the 65 percent threshold, so the Dolphins will reportedly not get the sixth-rounder from the Colts. Davis, 24, had 51 tackles and three interceptions in the 2012 regular season.

Leadership and Coherence
A Cognitive Approach
By Nathan W. Harter
Routledge – 2015 – 186 pages
Routledge – 2015 – 186 pages
Leadership and Coherence investigates how leaders justify their decisions, and how they bring about coherence amongst followers. Taking a cognitive approach, it builds on the work of Hannah Arendt to attempt a phenomenology of judgment, examining how the moral imperative experienced by leaders can be shared by their community so both leader and led are guided by a mutual purpose.
Through biographical case studies of historical leaders, this book illustrates how successful leaders operate in a turbulent world, not only making their own decisions but also gathering likeminded followers to share in a common vision and shared sense of purpose.
"Harter has written an erudite book, drawing upon sources as disparate as psychology, art, history, philosophy, and literature to bring new understanding to the psychology of leader (and follower) action. It is a significant work that not only brings insight to leadership but promises to re-shape the way we approach leadership studies itself."— J. Thomas Wren, Professor Emeritus of Leadership Studies, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond, USA
"A truly thought-provoking read, Nathan Harter's Leadership and Coherence interweaves insights from eco-psychology, phenomenology, and narrative accounts to challenge traditional views about what leadership is and how it is accomplished. Vast in scope and spiraling in nature, the book both intrigues and refreshes as it encourages the very 'conceptual elasticity' it promotes as a key means of understanding leadership and the role it plays in the 21st century."—Donna Ladkin, Professor of Leadership and Ethics, Plymouth University, UK
"This is a thoroughly modern take on leadership, explaining it as the force of a moral community and linking it to the main concerns of contemporary holistic sciences. Nathan Harter is as at home in the mechanics of social influence as in the philosophical challenges of good and evil: who better to guide us?"—Jonathan Gosling, Professor of Leadership Studies, University of Exeter, UK

Republican presidential hopeful Texas Gov. Rick "Oops" Perry said he wants to debate former House Speaker "Princess Nancy" Pelosi.
If that would ever happen it would have to be broadcast on Comedy Central with Jon Stewart as moderator.
The main event could be billed as "The Princess and the Pea-brain."
Or "Perry vs. Scary."
Maybe even "Bonehead vs. Botox."
An usual request, since Pelosi is not running for president and is the Minority Leader in the House.
Pundits on MSNBC said "Oops" is making the challenge because it's the only way he can get back into the swing of things with the tea baggers, who can't get enough of attacking Pelosi or President Obama.
Speaking of the president, Perry maintains that Obama's "the smartest man in the room policies" have destroyed America.
No one could ever accuse "Oops" of being the smartest man in any room. Not even if George W. Bush was in the same room trying to exit through a locked door.
Perry is the male equivalent of Sarah Palin. The GOP should draft Palin for the top slot and have Perry as her running mate with their campaign slogan "Keep America Stupid."
The GOP should do this right away, before Christmas, because the jokes about these two are the gifts that keep on giving.
Does anybody take Perry seriously anymore? Can you name three reasons why they should? "Oops" could probably try to list three reasons why and then suffer a brain freeze coming up with the third.
Perry is like Kevin Kline's character Otto in the comedy "A Fish Called Wanda" who, after any plan or idea was presented, asked "What was the middle part again?"
There's no debating that Thursday was House Speaker John Boehner's birthday.
The Weeper of the House is 62.
Things that went down on Boehner's birthday:
1. Everyone at Fox News wore something orange to match Boehner's facial hue and took several smoke breaks outside the building.
2. Michele Bachmann's husband jumped out of the birthday cake.
3. Once again this year the Nancy Pelosi pinada was the favorite party favor and was filled with packs of Marlboros.
4. After having too much punch, Eric Cantor was talked into being waterboarded by Dick Cheney.
5. Paramedics were on hand when Boehner tried to find enough wind to blow out 62 candles.
6. Boehner was not picked as Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, but he was named Smokiest Man Alive.
7. Boehner began to cry uncontrollably when he heard Demi and Ashton were getting divorced. He cheered up later when he found out that Ashton will be replaced by Charlie Sheen.
8. President Obama didn't give him a gift, but promised that he'd cave to whatever it is Boehner wants next.
9. Newt Gingrich showed up and wanted to be paid $1.6 million for talking about the history of the Speakers of the House and the Transcontinental Railroad.
10. Luckily Ann Coulter was in attendance because the party ran out of ice.

Hey, I'm David!
I am an 27 y/o arts student completing my combined Honours in Philosophy and Social Theory. Honest, open minded and easy going I get along with most people and love a good yarn. I am happy to fit in with you but good communication about what you expect will go along way. I mostly anticipate being out of the house doing tourist things but would also enjoy spending time with you if you would to like to and have some to spare.
5 things I can't live without:
Something to keep me occupied - book, iPod, laptop
My bicycle
A diary
A recipe to look forward to (I love cooking)
My partner, Aaron
I am looking to travel with Aaron (a 34 y/0o senior systems engineer) so please don't respond if this prospect is in any way off-putting. I spent two years living in London and traveling Europe and it has taken me all these years to save up even though I wanted to return earlier. I have also traveled to Thailand, Laos and Fiji.
My life motto:
'Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.'

Kenya lawmakers want central banker investigated in shilling row
NAIROBI, Feb 14 (Reuters) – A Kenyan parliamentary
committee has asked central bank governor Njuguna Ndung'u to
step aside from his post, it said on Tuesday, proposing an
investigation into how he handled the local currency's plunge to
a historic low late last year.
The shilling hit a record low of 107 per dollar on Oct. 11,
but has since strengthened more than 20 percent after the
central bank raised its key lending rate to 18 percent in
December from 7 percent in September.
Kenya wind power project to start by April: official
NAIROBI (Reuters) – Construction of a 310 megawatt (MW) wind power project in Kenya is expected to start in April after its financiers complete due diligence on the project, a senior company official said on Thursday.
Most of Kenya's power is generated by hydroelectric plants, which are prone to the vagaries of frequent droughts, which cut water levels in dams, lead to power outages and force east Africa's biggest economy to rely on diesel-powered generators.
Kapchorua, Williamson H1 profit helped by tea prices
NAIROBI, Nov 25 (Reuters) – Kapchorua Tea
and Williamson Tea, which have the same directors, both
reported a jump in first-half profit, helped by higher tea
prices and a weak Kenyan shilling.
Williamson said pretax profit jumped 64 percent to 1.07
billion shillings ($12 million) in the six months to
end-September, while Kapchorua's profit doubled to 268 million.
Kenya almost-doubles inflation target to 9 pct
NAIROBI, Nov 22 (Reuters) – Kenya's central bank
changed another key policy aim by almost-doubling this fiscal
year's inflation target to 9 percent, just weeks after being
driven to make a huge rate rise to combat soaring inflation and
save the plunging shilling.
Tuesday's unveiling of the new target, for the year running
July to June, followed months of trenchant criticism of the bank
for not taking aggressive action to stop the shilling's slide on
the back of double-digit inflation and a yawning balance of
payments gap.
Kenya starts FTSE-based stock indexes, eyes bonds
NAIROBI, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Nairobi Securities Exchange has
launched two stock indexes in conjunction with FTSE Group, and
said on Tuesday it planned to start one for Treasury bonds next
The FTSE NSE Kenya 25 Index will comprise the
bourse's 25 most liquid stocks, while the FTSE NSE Kenya 15
Index will be made up of the exchange's 15 largest
stocks by market capitalisation.
IMF sees slower Kenya growth, approves extra funds
NAIROBI, Oct 31 (Reuters) – The International Monetary Fund
on Monday trimmed its 2011 growth outlook for Kenya on Monday
and backed further funds to boost the country's foreign exchange
reserves to help tackle a widening balance of payments gap.
The Washington-based body gave the green light to a $250
million top-up to a $500 million extended credit facility,
pending full board approval, and said Kenya's central bank
should tighten monetary policy further to stem high inflation.
Branchless banking lifts Kenya Equity profits
NAIROBI, Oct 24 (Reuters) – Equity Bank's
nine-month pretax profit rose 39 percent as its push into
branchless or agency banking drove growth in deposits and loans,
Chief Executive James Mwangi said on Monday.
Kenya's central bank allowed banks to start offering
services through agents such as retail stores and service
stations last year to deepen access to financial services in a
country where a third of the population lacks access.
Kenya will fight shilling volatility – Finmin
NAIROBI, Oct 13 (Reuters) – Kenya's Treasury will act
decisively to stem local currency volatility, Finance Minister
Uhuru Kenyatta said on Thursday, adding the shilling's weakness
is not due to economic fundamentals which he said were broadly
Minutes later, at the same press conference, the central
bank said it was intensifying its efforts to mop up shilling
liquidity, underscoring efforts by policymakers to display a
coordinated response to tackling the currency crisis.
Kenya affirms commitment to floating fx rate
NAIROBI, Oct 7 (Reuters) – Central Bank of Kenya's record
increase of its key lending rate was an "important" step
towards stabilising the ailing shilling, top government
officials said on Friday, reaffirming the country's commitment
to a floating exchange rate.
Policymakers in east Africa's biggest economy have struggled
to get to grips with rampant inflation and a battered local
currency this year, although Wednesday's 4 percentage points
rate rise is expected to go a long way to restoring confidence.
Kenya says LNG facility to cost about $500 mln
NAIROBI, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Kenya expects a planned liquefied
natural gas terminal to cost $500 million and take 3-5 years to
build once it floats a tender in February 2012 as it seeks to
diversify sources of electricity to meet rising demand, an
energy official said on Wednesday.
The LNG terminal at the port city of Mombasa will have two
storage tanks, each holding some 35,000 tonnes of gas, the
energy ministry's permanent secretary, Patrick Nyoike, told
Reuters on the sidelines of an energy conference.

So where do I start? I'm a film buff who has some quirks (who doesn't). I lived all over the east coast growing up and found my way to Los Angeles as so many others have about 14 years ago. I'm not into the club scene, but I do enjoy catching a great live band at venues like The El Ray, The Music Box, The Roxy, etc. One of my greatest concert experiences was seeing the legendary Mike Nesmith alive and still kicking a few years back with that great band that according to Lloyd Christmas, was "a huge influence on the Beatles" at the Greek. I'm a little bit shy at first, but once you get to know me you will see that I have a unique sense of humor. So what am I looking for? Well, I live and work in Hollywood, so ideally, my match is someone local as well. I'm not fussy- a lady who dresses and glams it up is nice and all, but to be honest, a lady in jeans and a leather biker jacket is very attractive. I know this all sounds clichéd, but I'm looking for my best friend, my soul mate, a fellow cinephile, someone who shares the same common interests and values. Someone with a sense of humor. A fellow geek/dork.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Watching sports
Baseball, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
Middle of the Road
Watching films at classic movie palaces like The Vista, Graumans Chinese, Westwood Village, The Egyptian. Nothing beats the magic of lights going down and the flicker of the projection lamp on the silver screen!
Favorite films- too many to list. Television-Always Sunny in Philadelphia, South Park, Freaks and Geeks, Parks and Recreation. Music-The Beatles, Weezer, The Killers, Green Day, The White Stripes, The Clash, The Airborne Toxic Event, The Who.
Disneyland, Universal Studios, cinemas, LACMA, going to Dodger games, a major horse race at Santa Anita race track, catching a good band, a hike through the Hollywood Hills, the Hollywood Farmers Market, and wasting the day away at the shore.

Promising new smart technologies are enabling Power & Utilities companies to increase operational efficiency, defer investment in new power generation, improve customer service and employ the unprecedented amounts of big data they collect to improve business performance. Meanwhile, smart grid technology should further relieve capacity pressures by better balancing supply and demand. But there are significant barriers preventing smart grid implementation such as licensing, regulation and financing — and some companies are much better positioned than others to overcome these problems.
Advances in exploration and production technologies over the past few years have increased access to unprecedented new supplies of shale natural gas in many parts of the world — resulting in a significant pressure on natural gas prices. And lower prices and increased demand for cleaner burning fuel have led, in turn, to a substantial increase in investment in natural gas-fired power generation projects.
As a result of a number of highly publicized natural disasters (i.e. Hurricane Sandy) and the ongoing threats to critical assets (i.e. cyber attacks) there is an increasing focus on efforts to enhance the resiliency of power grids. In addition, there is increasing pressure from customers for greener and more diversified power supplies. These trends are being addressed in a number of ways including:
There are a multitude of issues arising from these trends including:
Amid an environment of slow demand growth in developed markets and much needed infrastructure investment to upgrade or replace aging plants and build new capacity, Power & Utilities companies are facing regulations that could add significant costs to doing business. Major environmental statutes and emissions regulations — along with renewable portfolio standards — could all require increased investment in renewable energy.
New and evolving air quality regulations are forcing some providers to find financing for the decommissioning and replacement of their aging generation fleet — and to face difficult choices about the future generation mix. Certain countries need to replace aging power generation facilities and build new transmission and distribution infrastructure to enhance reliability and connect alternative energy sources. However, recovering the costs and managing the risks of these major projects remains a major challenge for many.
opportunities — and risks With a growing global interest in clean energy, some firms appear well placed to capitalize on their deep expertise in wind, solar, energy efficiency, smart grid and bio-energy.

Saw someone post ESPN's list on another site. They have:
1. Tigers

4. Cardinals
5. Pirates
6. A's
7. Rangers
8. Braves
9. Reds
10. Rays
They just posted the list so I didn't see their reasoning for each team.

They just posted the list so I didn't see their reasoning for each team.
I think a conservative estimate is for every Red starter to have an ERA under 2.90 this year. They really should be 1 or 2.
camisadelgolf (12-30-2013),Reds&BuckeyeGuy (01-03-2014)
Latos and Bailey are two of the top ten starters in baseball.
Cueto is around 15th or 20th because of injury concerns but has the talent to be top four.
Leake would be an ace on a lot of staffs.
Cingrani is the best young pitcher in MLB. I think he's better than Cole, Fernandez, Harvey, etc...

I recall one saying the Cardinals wouldn't win 70 games, another saying that Votto and Bruce would hit 40 bombs, and one saying that 5 Reds pitchers would end up in the top 10 of Cy Young voting.

#2 Well, the first half is spot on but top 4 I think is over rating Cueto quite a bit.
#3 Maybe for the worst 2 or 3 staffs but he is a very solid #4-5 starter. But your earlier assertion he should be at 2.90 or lower is way, way optimistic. Amend that to 3.50 and you might defend it.
#4 He'll certainly be better than Harvey next year. Best in MLB? Now that is hyperbole. This may be the worst of your predictions.
Overall I am not saying your predictions couldn't come true, its just very unlikely. First, Cueto, Latos and Cingrani have health concerns. I'd be very surprised if at least one of them doesn't bite the dust at some point. Cingrani still needs better consistency with secondary stuff and has to be more efficient. 5 innings a game won't get it. I take you seriously, though.
"If this was a court of law, the cross examination would go after the credibility of the witness." Homer Bailey on Latos snarking on the team after his trade
I think Cincy is better than 9th. They pitch in a hitter friendly park. Of the top 10, only Texas and Cincy SP's pitch in a top 10 hitters park. But them in an average park and they would look significantly better.
Team Rank Park Factor
Tigers 15th 101
Dodgers 17th 97
Nationals 14th 102
Cardinals 21st 88
Pirates 26th 83
A's 24th 86
Rangers 3rd 125
Braves 16th 97
Reds 4th 121
Rays 25th 85
I don't know how to format-- it looks great when I type it-- then when I post it's ugly. Sorry for the ugly read-- but Texas home park is 3rd, Cincy's is 4th. The next highest park factor is the Nationals @ 14th. As you can see, 8 of the top 10 basically play @ neutral or pitchers parks-- not hitters ballparks like Texas and Cincy.
Park factor #'s from fangraphs.
I had said it in another thread, that I had seen multiple guys on ESPN say that the Reds have the best starting rotation in baseball, and if they lose Bailey and insert Chapman into the starting rotation, it will still be in the top 5.

It had to of been the least scary thing I've played all year. Hell. I feared for my life in halo 4 legendary more than this demo! #7.2 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply r21 + 885d ago Yup, that part panicked the hell out of me. Not only were the necromorphs/zombies with ice picks getting in the way, the drill was just so random. #7.2.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report Sketchy_Galore + 885d ago I honestly wanted this game to be good but the demo was the most disappointing thing I've played in a loooong time. Maybe it's just that I had more hope invested in this franchise than either DMC or Resident evil but I feel like this is a worse bastardisation of a franchise than either of those two. I hoped I would at least get a scare or two but at 2am with all the lights out and headphones turned up loud I didn't get so much as a pinch of fear. Dead space 2 was already a little actiony for my tastes but it still had a decent amount of scares. This demo just couldn't have been less tense. I'm holding out a little hope that it was just a crappy demo for a great game a la Dead Space 1 but that hope is very little. I don't see how the full game could make the arcadey enemies jumping out of the ground like they're in Altered beast or the cliche gun zombies scary. I could even possibly handle the franchise going more actiony if it did it well but they just haven't changed the mechanics enough (the game mechanics, not Isaac) to make it work. The dismemberment mechanic was great in the first game because it meant a single enemy could be a hassle to take down, making every encounter incredibly tense. When you're confronted by waves upon waves of enemies the dismemberment just makes for fiddly and frustrating gameplay. The first game had some of these annoying moments toward the end, the second game had more and this game looks to be entirely based around those annoying moments. Except of course for THE worst cover shooting I have ever experienced. Isaac doesn't so much take cover as hold his thighs against a wall like he's trying to warm his balls on a radiator. Anyway, rant mode off. Let's just say I was not a fan and I finally get why the DMC and RE fans were so upset. #8 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Ser + 885d ago Phil Collins? Heck yeah, Phil Collins! #9 Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply LightofDarkness + 885d ago Ahh, even the tag-line is trying to appeal to the dudebro. "Take Down The Terror(ists)!" Seriously, trying to appeal to the COD crowd using key words like "takedown" and "terror." I'd like to think I'm reading too much into it, but I know marketing and PR people, and this is EXACTLY how they think. #10 Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply nikrel + 885d ago I don't know what to think, I thought some of the stuff in the demo was tight like the fact you collect materials and make items, that was nice. What was with all the cussing, I think I heard S*it and F*ck at least three times, I can't even remember cussing in the first two. The third installment seems more Jack in the Box than eerie setting. Here is my idea how this series is playing out, The first game was slow and scary Issac had no clue what he was up against, so it was creepy/scary. It was an isolated area as well. Issac was a complete newb. The second game, Issac knew what everything was but still holding back, He started to have to deal with human resistance more so than the first game, bit more action. The third game is full blown action, Issac surly knows what he is up against and going after, no fear, balls to the wall action game. It's a progression of the series imo, issac can't be a newb forever. #11 Agree(7) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply doomtrain + 885d ago exactly !!! its called momentum . nicely put @nikrel , nice to see an intelligent comment here for once , also there is a bit of cussing in the second deadspace game and also the 1st ( but in the 1st game it was mainly from my own mouth ) #11.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply nikrel + 885d ago Thanks, Yeah the first game was the first horror game I could finish, built the nerve to do it. Great game. #11.1.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report jagstar44 + 885d ago Does anyone remember the dead space 1 trailer with the fucked up children's song all creepy that was unique and now they choose to do something like this, it just looks like a generic action game *explosions explosions falling down explosions* *sigh* #12 Agree(7) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply CYBERHATER + 885d ago Nobody is giving this game a chance but I will wait for the review.

I'm told that Senator Harry Reid has good qualities. I don't doubt it. I've always resisted the tendency of some of his critics to demonize him.
Unfortunately, he seems disinclined to return that favor to those who disagree with his views:
It's virtually inconceivable that any large federal program, even the best, is ever totally free of at least inadvertent "collateral damage." Senator Reid's insistence that absolutely all such stories connected with Obamacare — a massive new program, the rollout of which has not been, shall we say, entirely flawless — are absolutely false strikes me as no more plausible than the late Mr. Saddam Hussein's claim, following his last campaign for the presidency of Iraq (he won, by the way), that he had received fully 100% of the votes cast.
It struck me as somewhat doubtful that, among the many millions of Iraqis, there wasn't even a single voter so dimwitted, insane, and/or morally perverse as to not recognize the unalloyed wonders of Mr. Hussein's rule.
It likewise strikes me as implausible that not a single American's healthcare choices or costs, anywhere, have been adversely affected by Obamacare.
I hope that all of those who have been negatively impacted by the Affordable Healthcare Act will absolutely roar their stories. Publicly. How many ordinary American citizens is Senator Reid willing to dismiss as liars? Let's find out.

BUFFALO, NY - NOVEMBER 06: Head coach Lindy Ruff of the Buffalo Sabres looks on during the game against the Philadelphia Flyers at HSBC Arena on November 6, 2009 in Buffalo, New York. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)
Having never attended college let alone taught a class, Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff wasn't familiar with the tweed jacket dress code favored by some professors. ''I went with the track suit,'' Ruff said, with a chuckle. ''You know: the coach's uniform.'' That's fine, because this wasn't your conventional course he was teaching. Season or no season, Ruff and the rest of the team's 100-or-so employees went back to school last month to attend what was called ''Sabres University.'' It featured a series of courses spread over two weeks to help everyone better appreciate how the entire operation works, and to boost morale during the ongoing NHL lockout. The courses ranged from ''The Do's and Don'ts of Social Media,'' to ''The Scouting Process,'' headed by general manager Darcy Regier. There was a seminar from the ice-making crew in detailing techniques required to create a smooth sheet of game-ready ice. And even Kim Pegula got involved by outlining the team's mission under her an...

After years of total ugliness I decided to do a minor overhaul of my personal site: http://dylanfm.com. I hoped to reduce the ugly factor by approximately 34%. Now there's just a blob of casual text, aimed at people I've met at conferences etc who want to know a little bit more about me.
Chose to use Elena http://processtypefoundry.com/fonts/elena/, which looks nice on the retina screens I've come across (not so nice on Windows, but I don't really care about that at the moment). This is a cropped screen-grab from the latest iPad's retina screen.
Much consideration went into picking a salutation. I decided upon "Hiya" as it's used everywhere here in Scotland. Actually, it's probably #2, greeting someone by saying "'lright?" seems to be the most popular. Glad I've figured that one out now.

Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, vomiting, bleeding, and often, death.Ebola can occur in humans and other primates (gorillas, monkeys, and chimpanzees).The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest in history. About 70% of the people who have gotten Ebola in this outbreak have died.The virus poses a very low risk to people in the United States.For the most up-to-date information, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) website: //www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/index.html.I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Causes WHERE EBOLA OCCURSEbola was discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, several small outbreaks have occurred in Africa. The 2014 outbreak is the largest. Countries affected in this recent outbreak include:Guinea Liberia Sierra Leone Ebola has also been reported in:Nigeria Senegal United States Spain Mali United Kingdom Most of these cases are due to people traveling from a country where Ebola is present. In October 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared both Nigeria and Senegal free of Ebola virus transmission. As of November 2014, there have been 4 people diagnosed with Ebola in the United States. One case occurred in a man traveling from West Africa to Texas. He died from the disease. Two health care providers who cared for the man also contracted Ebola. A doctor who had treated Ebola patients in Guinea returned to New York City and was diagnosed with Ebola after developing symptoms. All three health care providers have recovered and no longer have the Ebola virus. HOW EBOLA CAN SPREADEbola does not spread as easily as more common illnesses such as colds, the flu, or measles. There is NO evidence that the virus that causes Ebola is spread through the air or water. A person who has Ebola CANNOT spread the disease until symptoms appear.Ebola can ONLY spread between humans by direct contact with infected body fluids including but not limited to urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, and semen. The virus can enter the body through a break in the skin or through mucous membranes, including the eyes, nose, and mouth.Ebola can also spread by contact with ANY surfaces, objects, and materials that have been in contact with body fluids from a sick person, such as:Bedclothes and bedding Clothing Bandages Needles and syringes Medical equipment In Africa, Ebola may also be spread by:Handling infected wild animals hunted for food (bushmeat) Contact with blood or body fluids of infected animals Contact with infected bats Ebola does NOT spread through:Air Water Food Insects (mosquitoes) Health care workers and people caring for sick relatives are most at risk for developing Ebola because they are more likely to come in to direct contact with body fluids. Symptoms The time between exposure and when symptoms occur (incubation period) is 2 to 21 days. On average, symptoms develop in 8 to 10 days.Early symptoms of Ebola include:Fever greater than 101.5°F (38.6°C) Chills Severe headache Sore throat Muscle pain Weakness Fatigue Rash Abdominal (stomach) pain Diarrhea VomitingLate symptoms include:Bleeding from the mouth and rectum Bleeding from eyes, ears, and nose Organ failureA person who does not have symptoms 21 days after being exposed to Ebola will not develop the disease. Treatment There is no known cure for Ebola. Experimental treatments have been used, but none have been fully tested to see if they work well and are safe.People with Ebola must be treated in a hospital. There, they can be isolated so the disease cannot spread. Health care providers will treat the symptoms of the disease.Treatment for Ebola includes:Fluids given through a vein (IV) Oxygen Blood pressure management Treatment for other infections Blood transfusionsSurvival depends on how a person's immune system responds to the virus. A person also may be more likely to survive if they receive good medical care.People who survive Ebola are immune from the virus for 10 years or more. They can no longer spread Ebola. However, men who survive can carry the Ebola virus in their sperm for as long as 3 months. They should abstain from sex or use condoms for 3 months.Long-term complications can include joint and vision problems. When to Contact a Medical Professional Call your health care provider if you have traveled to West Africa and:Know you have been exposed to Ebola You develop symptoms of the disorder, including fever Getting treatment right away may improve the chances of survival. Prevention There is no vaccine to protect against Ebola. The CDC urges all United States residents to avoid travel to Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone because of unprecedented outbreaks of Ebola in those countries.If you plan to travel to one of the countries where Ebola is present, the CDC recommends taking the following steps to prevent illness:Practice careful hygiene. Wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Avoid contact with blood and body fluids. Avoid contact with people who have a fever, are vomiting, or appear ill. Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person's blood or body fluids. This includes clothes, bedding, needles, and medical equipment. Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola. Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals. Avoid hospitals in West Africa where Ebola patients are being treated. If you need medical care, the United States embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice about facilities. After you return, pay attention to your health for 21 days. Seek medical care right away if you develop symptoms of Ebola, such as a fever. Tell the health care providers that you have been to a country where Ebola is present.Health care workers who may be exposed to people with Ebola should follow these steps:Wear protective clothing, including masks, gloves, gowns, and eye protection. Practice proper infection control and sterilization measures. Isolate patients with Ebola from other patients. Avoid direct contact with the bodies of people who have died from Ebola. Notify health officials if you have had direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with Ebola.Related Information FatigueMalaiseHemorrhagic Open ReferencesReferencesCenters for Disease Control and Prevention.

Hey, Brandon. The main reason that cd cover shines is because of all the contrast - there is a wide distribution of lights and darks that plays off of each other. I would look for ways to up the contrast in your image, either in the fly or in the surrounding shapes. Right now it's all very close so you don't know what to focus on.

Hey, nice designs there, that album cover is quite striking and well executed. I agree with the previous crit though in the lack of contrast, particularly as, to me, your eye is drawn to the center and your focal point is the fly's face, and that area is very murky. I would suggest bringing out brightness in either the whole face or at least in some areas.
I'd also like some background info on these, what is the banner for and what is its relation to the album cover?

that's not bad for a starter, if i where you I would try to add some color to the scene. i would also recommend you to search for typographic blogs in order to understand types a little bit more.

Lee J. Alston
Lee Alstons research interests over the years have focused on the important roles of institutions, beliefs, and contracts in shaping economic and political outcomes in multiple domains. Issues examined include the governance and use of natural resources historically and today, the growth of the U.S. welfare system in the United States in the 1960s, and the historical trajectory of Brazil from 1964 to present. In a forthcoming book, Alston argues that since 1994, Brazil has been on a virtuous path.

FHA Requirements
Closing Costs and Allowable Charges
While FHA requirements define which closing costs are allowable as charges to the borrower, the specific costs and amounts that are deemed reasonable and customary are determined by each local FHA office. All other costs are generally not allowed and are usually paid by the seller when buying a new home, or paid by the lender when refinancing your exising FHA loan.
- Lender's origination fee
- Deposit verification fees
- Attorney's fees
- The appraisal fee and any inspection fees
- Lender's origination fee
- Cost of title insurance and title examination
- Document preparation (by a third party)
- Property survey
- Credit reports (actual costs)
- Transfer stamps, recording fees, and taxes
- Test and certification fees
- Home inspection fees up to $200
Allowed in an FHA refinance loan are wire transfer fees, courier fees, reconveyance fees, and fees to payoff bills.
FHA Loan Articles
Appraisals are an important part of the FHA loan process, and we get plenty of questions about what may or may not be acceptable in the appraisal. For some, depending on the age and design of the home, crawlspaces can be a worry.
There are situations where a buyer wants to purchases a home with an FHA loan and the seller will try to sweeten the deal by offering to include personal property such as appliances, vehicles, or other items. Including such things would require the lender to deduct the value of all the included items from the loan amount.
The answer to this question is fairly simple. Any FHA borrower with a forward mortgage longer than 15 years (excluding the exceptions mentioned above) who has an FHA loan case number assigned on or after January 26, 2015 is eligible for the new, lower annual MIP.
FHA made an announcement about cuts in the annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP) in a preliminary January 2015 announcment. The new FHA policy reduces the rate for most Title II forward mortgages with terms greater than 15 years.
One common question we get involves Private Mortgage Insurance and the premiums for that insurance. Borrowers should discuss PMI policy changes with a loan officer.

Ian Gordon's instructions on how to punctuate are lucid and apposite, but incomplete ('How to stop without missing the point', Forum, 2 March). The apostrophe seems to cause people more trouble than all the other punctuation marks put together. Apostrophes tend to be scattered with gay abandon: inserted in plurals, omitted from possessives.
Confusion seems to be caused by its two purposes: to indicate the possessive case, and to indicate the omission of a letter, plus the complication of where to put it with a plural possessive noun.
Would the language be much the poorer without the apostrophe for the possessive? I doubt it. 'A mans expression should be clear and not be a dogs breakfast' is quite understandable.

Nutritional Benefits:
Feeling anxious? Reach for this sweet stress-reliever (known as the "Fruit of Calmness" in Hungary), packed with nutrients and antioxidants that form a natural sedative. Keep it as a go-to alleviator for when your little one has an upset stomach, too. Its high levels of pectin help soften the intestines and protect the stomach lining from ulcers.
Farmers' Picking Tips:
• The ripest peaches have a deep yellow background color, are firm, and separate from the branch easily.
• Red does not indicate ripeness. Firm peaches will often soften if left out in room temperature for a few days.
• Enjoy your peaches within a week from picking.
