PITTSBURGH, Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Niche (https://niche.com) today released the 2015 college rankings, which rank more than 1,000 schools nationwide based on more than 50 statistical factors and nearly 12 million opinions from 300,000 students. The company is releasing a comprehensive Best Overall college ranking for the first time in its 12-year history.
"We believe choosing a college is about striking the right balance, where academics, student life and affordability are all factors," said CEO Luke Skurman. "A ranking that focuses solely on data, net price, or student opinion only shows a glimpse of the big picture. Our ranking is the most comprehensive to date precisely because it takes a holistic approach of what it's like to be a student on campus."
Surpassing Harvard and Yale, Stanford University clinches the No. 1 spot in the Best Overall category, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) clocking in at No. 2.
A testament to its all-encompassing approach, Niche's Top 25 Best Overall list includes leading research institutions (Rice University, No. 5), Ivy League schools (University of Pennsylvania, No. 6), liberal arts colleges (Bowdoin College, No. 13), large public schools (University of North Carolina, No. 14) and powerhouse athletic schools (University of Michigan, No. 20).
Colleges have taken notice of Niche's student-centered approach.
"We're always delighted when Rice University fares well in rankings that incorporate input from students, and Rice's top-five position on Niche is no exception," said Rice University President David Leebron.
A snapshot of the 2015 Niche Rankings and colleges that ranked No. 1:
- Best Overall – Stanford University
- Best Academics – MIT
- Best Athletics – University of Florida
- Best Campus – Bowdoin College
- Best Campus Food – Virginia Tech

A growing list of House Democrats are expressing reservations about supporting Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House, with freshman New York Rep. Scott Murphy the latest to say he won't commit to voting for the Californian for the House's top post after the Nov. 2 midterm elections.
At least one House Democrat — Rep. Bobby Bright of Alabama — has said Mrs. Pelosi should step down from leadership, while several others have said they haven't made up their minds.
"We'll see. We'll see what happens when the election's over and we'll look at the leadership," Mr. Murphy told the Albany Times Union editorial board this week. "I think that I haven't spent any time working on that issue. I'm really focused on getting through this election season and figuring out where we go from there."
Mrs. Pelosi, who has led the House since 2007, has not asked for his support, the Times Union reported Mr. Murphy as saying.
As Republicans repeatedly seek to portray Mrs. Pelosi as the face of the "tax-and-spend" Democratic Party, many Democrats running in conservative districts have distanced themselves from the speaker for fear of being associated with her liberal policies on health care, energy and the economy.
But Mr. Murphy's stance is noteworthy because he is a moderate who most pollsters say is in good position to win in November.
He took office in April 2009 after a special election to replace Kirsten Gillibrand, who left the post after she was appointed to the Senate. Republicans have been quick to point to the number of Democratic candidates on the campaign trail showing uneasiness about their own Washington leadership.
"Seeking distance from Speaker Pelosi three weeks out from an election does not exactly qualify anyone for a 'profile in courage' award," said National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Paul Lindsay.
"The American people know desperation when they see it, and the newfound sense of 'independence' among these Democrats does nothing to mask the party-line votes they have cast in support of the Obama-Pelosi job-killing agenda."
The NRCC, the fundraising arm of House Republicans, has reserved more than $700,000 to support Mr. Murphy's Republican opponent, retired Army Col. Chris Gibson, a GOP aide said. The NRCC also has run at least two television advertisements on his behalf.
Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami, asked about the number of House Democratic candidates questioning her leadership, said that the speaker "is focused on ensuring that Democrats remain in the majority, and we will."
"The speaker has said that we are not going to yield one grain of sand in this election," Mr. Elshami added.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen, Maryland Democrat and a member of Mrs. Pelosi's House leadership team, said earlier this week that the rumblings of discontent reflect in part the party's broad majority and the number of individual members who hold seats in centrist and even conservative districts.
"What they're doing is talking about their independence on certain issues," Mr. Van Hollen said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "There are issues where they stood with the speaker and the president, and there are issues where they opposed the speaker and the president. That's their job."
On Monday, Roy Herron, a Tennessee Democrat running for the seat of retiring Democratic Rep. John Tanner, vowed that he would not support Mrs. Pelosi for speaker if elected.
Mr. Herron is in a tight race with Republican Steve Fincher for the rural west Tennessee seat, where Mrs. Pelosi is unpopular even among many Democrats.
"The people of my district are independent-minded folks who put patriotism above partisanship and are not looking to hire a yes man for either party," Mr. Herron said. "I will not vote for John Boehner or Nancy Pelosi to serve as speaker of the House."
Alabama's Mr. Bright last week became the first House Democrat to say that he definitively won't vote for Mrs. Pelosi as speaker should both return to the 112th Congress.
"I am not going to vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House. Neither the leader of the minority party, John Boehner, nor the present speaker, will get my vote," Mr. Bright told Montgomery TV station WSFA. "I will vote for someone, a centrist, who is much more like me."
Rep. Peter A. DeFazio, a liberal Oregon Democrat who has clashed with Mrs. Pelosi, also has signaled he may not back her for another term as speaker.
Despite some Democrats' reluctance to embrace Mrs. Pelosi, the Californian has raised more than $217 million for Democrats since she entered leadership in 2002, a senior Democratic aide said. She has held 212 political events in 24 states and one territory since last year, excluding events in her home San Francisco district and Washington, D.C.

Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SANDY— Fresh off a three-game road trip, Real Salt Lake faces another quick turnaround. This time, it has three games in eight days.
Luckily for RSL, all three games will be inside the confines of Rio Tinto Stadium.
"I'm so sure all the guys are excited. We can't wait to get back in the Riot," said fullback Lovel Palmer at Thursday's training session. "The fans, they've been longing to see us, and as you can see in the training, the intensity is very high. Everyone is pretty much waiting on Saturday to get on the field and get going."
Palmer has impressed in six starts this season, which has made the club more confident in its depth along the back line.
"It gives us a lot of confidence that no matter what lineup we have out there, that we can still play well and hopefully get a shutout," said RSL defender Chris Wingert.
"There's no doubt in my mind that this team is very deep, and I think that everybody who's been called upon have stepped up and done a great job," added Wingert. "And we're going to need them to continue to do that as we go through the rest of the season."
Palmer's performances have created meaningful competition in training among all the defenders, as they know they have to stay on their toes to have chances to get on the pitch in matches.
For his part, Palmer says he'll keep trying to work as hard as he can each day.
"Train hard everyday. That's what I have control over. What more can I do to keep pushing Tony and Chris, because as I've always said it's healthy competition and as long as I'm training well it's going to keep those guys on their toes," Palmer said.
HOPING FOR A CUP RUN: RSL learned this week it will host the Atlanta Silverbacks of the NASL next Tuesday in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The silver lining of the tournament is that the champion gains an automatic berth into the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League tournament.
"I've never had a real successful run in the Open Cup, so hopefully with us being able to concentrate a little bit more on that this year without Champions League and things like that, it'd be really nice to take advantage of another situation where you can get into Champions League," said Wingert. "So I'm sure we're going to take it real serious and hopefully have a good performance on Tuesday."
RIMANDO UP FOR WEEKLY AWARD: After last Sunday's 4-1 win at Chivas USA, RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando was nominated for the MLS' Week 12 Save of the Week on mlssoccer.com. Voting ends this Friday at midnight.

Mitch Williams speaks complete nonsense about the Nolan Ryan situation
Mar 6, 2013, 9:50 AM EDT
This will be interesting news to almost every general manager in Major League Baseball: Mitch Williams, who is paid for his baseball insight, apparently believes that one cannot be a general manager unless one played baseball. He writes this about the Nolan Ryan drama on his blog:
I don't know [Jon] Daniels, but the way that Michael Young was treated there was just wrong. Young changed positions four times for the good of the team. He became an All-Star at three different positions, then demanded a trade after the signing of Adrian Beltre.
I spoke to Michael about this, and that conversation will remain between us. One thing I can say for sure is that as soon as a GM starts to think he can evaluate talent better than someone like Ryan without anywhere near the baseball background, he is giving himself too much credit.
…In my opinion, you are only ignorant if you try and tell someone how to do their job if you aren't qualified to do that job. I don't think I'm going to get to many people calling me to do their taxes or represent them in court. Just as I am not going to argue with someone who does a job that I have no clue about.
Well, Nolan Ryan was with the Rangers when all of that was going down, so unless Ryan was merely a figurehead then — which Williams apparently does not allow for in the premise to this rant — the Michael Young stuff was partly his doing too.
In other news, given Williams' view that one cannot be as good at something as someone who has a greater background in that pursuit, can I, as a bona fide baseball blogger, tell Mitch Williams that he shouldn't be blogging? Or does that stand whether or not the people saying so are baseball bloggers?

- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1 stalk celery, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 14-ounce can whole tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 10 okra pods, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-long pieces (1 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup long-grain white rice
- 6 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, or thigh meat, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 ounces andouille or kielbasa sausage, thinly sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Hot sauce, to taste
- Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the flour turns a deep golden color, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the flour to a plate and let cool. (There will be a strong aroma similar to burnt toast. Be careful not to let the flour burn; reduce the heat if flour seems to be browning too quickly.) Alternately, toast the flour in a pie plate in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes.
- Heat oil in a heavy stockpot over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic; sauté until the onions are lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in the toasted flour. Gradually stir in broth and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add tomatoes, okra, pepper, thyme, oregano, cayenne and bay leaf. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in rice and cook, covered, for 15 minutes longer.
- Add shrimp, chicken and sausage; simmer until the shrimp is opaque inside, the chicken is no longer pink and the rice is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Discard the bay leaf and season with salt. Ladle into bowls and serve with hot sauce.

Monsters are back to school,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Monsters University [Blu-ray] [Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Monsters University is an absolute joy from start to finish. A genius move of Pixar to revisit some old characters by creating a totally plausible prequel story.
Colourful, energetic and full of funny and interesting characters the imagination of Pixar never ceases to amaze. Here we find Mike and Sulley before they were friends both with dreams of becoming the best scarers in Monstropolis. Of course the path to true friendship has many ups and downs so this forms the main crux of the story.
After trying to outdo each other in class and knocking over the Deans' prized capsule and smashing it into pieces they are promptly chucked out of the scaring school. Mike decides to enter a scaring competition to prove that he is worthy of such a position and ends up with the most unscary bunch of monsters you could imagine.
Cue some hilarious challenges. The pace is quick and the energy high. Admittedly some of the characters in Mike's group are nothing more than talking heads to make up numbers but on the whole they are a fun bunch to hang around with.
The usual Pixar standards are in place such as the superb animation and some well developed relationships and characters that you cannot help but root for.
Pixar have managed to take something that could well have been stale and turned it into something fresh and inventive. If any anything it is a delight to hang around with some old friends once again.

The Ukrainian authorities will do everything they can to ensure that the upcoming parliamentary elections are held freely, democratically, and in full compliance with international standards, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said.
"The country is currently facing a big test – the elections. And we are doing all we can to hold them democratically, freely, in full compliance with standards," he said at a meeting the heads of Ukraine's diplomatic missions abroad in Kyiv on Tuesday.
Azarov said that ahead of the elections the authorities had taken an important step, which has triggered substantial material costs. In particular, he said that the issue concerned the installation of Web cameras at polling stations.
"Now we will technically be able to prevent possible manipulation and talk about fraud. Using the cameras, it will be possible to observe how many people entered [polling stations] and how many ballots are cast," he said.
He also noted that an unprecedented number of observers would monitor the elections. He said that 600 international observers had already been registered and that 5,000 were expected.

Does anyone want to start a Jillian Michaels 30 day workout with me tomorrow?

I am unco duedec, so now Im a bit scared about week 2!
I plan to do it again later thisafternoon.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 08:01 PM
Hi girls can I join in. I bought the DVD today and plan on waking up early in the morning for my first session. Will let you know how I go.
I have a couple of questions Is anyone following her diet? and what weights have you started with? I haven't got any weights yet and dont want to go to light or heavy to start.
I'm going on a cruise and june and need to drop a few kg so that's my motivation.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 10:08 PM
Hop I am using 1 kg weights, perfect for me that they do get a bit heavy while doing the exercise, but not too heavy that I strain with them. I haven't looked much on her site (doing that now) I am just trying to eat healthy not so many fizzy drinks, lollies, cakes etc trying to find the healthest option, and eating smaller meals. I am finding now that I don't need the larger meals.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 12:16 PM
Ripped in 30 - day 2 of Level 2 done. Definitely feel like I've had an upper body workout. The cardio is harder because it seems to incorporate weight on arms.
Can anyone do full push-ups (ie not on knees). Level 2 has you doing spider pushups. I found them hard on my knees - I don't think I'll ever be able to do the full ones.
Hop1. I have 2kg, 3kg and 4kg. For L1 I used 3 and 4kg, but struggled on the arm raise type ones, and so bought some 2kg. I find for the front raises, shoulder type ones I need lower weights, but can go up to about 4kg for rows and biceps.
I am not doing the diet, however I do use myfitnesspal to monitor calories.
DdDwMumMe. It's so hard to do it with kids around. I do a bike session in the morning, and then try to do JM at lunch while DD is napping. DS usually sits and watches, but it's so much harder when he wants to get involved. He asks a million and one questions and I find it really hard to answer when I'm working out! The wrost questions are when he tells me that I haven't got my legs straight enough or high enough like the woman doing the advanced session!
elleep. Did you manage to fit it in?
Posted 05 April 2012 - 07:37 PM
Hi all,
I did day 3 yesterday but missed today. Early starts & working until midnight got the better of me - back on track tomorrow
Posted 06 April 2012 - 07:37 AM
duedec - oh no, that sounds like my eldest sound - he hasn't said anything yet but wouldn't be surprised if he did. The younger two just want to join in and get under my feet.
Not sure if I will get anything done today, off to my sisters for a family thing, need to back bags for DS1 and DS2 they are going to my mums for a couple of days. I am also not sure if I can do it around Dh,I really do like my privacy when exercising - sounds silly I know.
I have been a good girl so far!! with chocolates, I just keep thinking I am not doing all this hard work to lose it with pigging out on chocolate eggs - unfortunatly its DH who is eating my share lol not something he should be doing either.
sugababe good luck for today nice to know that I am not the only one missing days.
Posted 06 April 2012 - 01:06 PM
Ugh, just did Day 1 of 30 Day Shred - have never done a Jillian workout before, and only ever done one fitness DVD in my life, and holy cow I am exhausted! Had actual beads of sweat rolling off my face, I sure know I worked hard!
I don't think I'll be doing it every day (I'm so unfit!), just wanted something extra to add to my exercise routine
Posted 06 April 2012 - 10:33 PM
cardamom - stick with it! I improved really quickly doing 30 Day Shred. It's only 20 minutes - don't 'phone it in!
Did Ripped in 30 again today. Week One nearly over

Did Ripped in 30 again today. Week One nearly over
I was shrieking "f#*! off Jillian!" at one point when she said "Don't phone it in!" I can't believe how hard I worked in 20 minutes. DP did it with me, he was pretty exhausted too.
Alright, you've convinced me, I'll do it again tomorrow. Silly as it is, I sort of feel like this is exercise for people who are actually fit/skilled, and that I'm too overweight to be doing such fancy exercise
Posted 07 April 2012 - 07:28 AM
Cardamon you should haven seen me the first day - I was actually shaking afterwood, I don't think I have ever pushed my body that hard, but I felt really good too. You would think with all the chasing I do after the boys I would be fit, ha no way am I. I still sometimes have a little 5 sec break, sometimes, I find concentrating on my breathing helps me get through it.
Didn't get a chance yesterday so make up for it today, thinking of taking DS3 (the other boys are at mums) for a ride somewhere and I will jog beside him.

cardamom, it is for people like us. You need to drop that attitude The first time l did it l couldn't walk for days! I really live her routines and find what she says motivating. My advice to you would be not to give up, do it every second day & pause it if you need a breather but don't stop! You will get better. xxx
Posted 07 April 2012 - 01:12 PM
Did it again thismorning, after not doing it last 2 days (away at moment). Plan to do it again tomorrow then start week 2 either mon or tues. Also ran thismorning, so feeling good
My 3 boys find it amusing watching me and get under my feet, but I don't care if they watch. Hate my DH watching though!
Hope everyone has a nice easter
Posted 07 April 2012 - 04:59 PM
Aww, thanks for the kind words ladies! Feeling chirpier now.
Had planned to do it today, but I'm SO sore, I'm not sure I can! My leg muscles have gotten progressively more painful as the day has gone on Thank God my house doesn't have stairs. Went for a walk instead.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 09:11 PM
Go you Jillian good things! I started on Jillian's 30 day shred last year and moved on to all things Jillian. She is awesome and she works!
Keep with her ladies. She will not let you down.
Go SB go!
Posted 08 April 2012 - 07:37 AM
Happy Easter everyone, don't eat too many of those Easter Chocolates Easter Bunny was kind and brought me some dark chocolate, so maybe a square or two every couple of days
Don't think I will get a chance to do the dvd today, but will run around playing hide and seek with my boys and nephews - now that is a work out!!!
Have a great day everyone
Posted 09 April 2012 - 04:15 PM
Hope everyone has had a great Easter! I managed to barely eat any chocolate (perhaps one or two tiny solid ones, thats it though), and managed to keep the exercise up, so Im pleased.
I just did week 2, and OMG, I am so unco! I found it much harder than week 1, hopefully after I repeat it a few times I get the hang of the moves a bit better. I have to say though, I hate planks, and all of its variations lol!
I had my 4yo DS 'helping' me, he was trying to do it at the same time, and asking questions, so I had to actually restart it at one stage.
duedec - no way I can do 'real' pushups, and especially when they are crazy ones like those spider ones!!
Posted 09 April 2012 - 07:11 PM
Im doing 30DS at the moment. Up to L3 D2 and am LOVING this level. Lots of plank work, but it feels amazing. I hate cardio, find it really exhausting, but in this level the cardio is pretty do-able.
Im not sure if Ive lost any inches/weight....but I can definatly feel some definition going on....cant see it (need a bit more shredding!!) but its there!!
Posted 09 April 2012 - 07:18 PM
Last week totally didn't go as planned for me so will be strating from scratch again tomorrow. Sounds like everyone else is doing really well though!
I'll be up early to do Ripped in 30 tomorrow morning.
Posted 09 April 2012 - 08:27 PM
Well, I started the day by walking and squeezing in my favourite Bob DVD (20 minutes) before work. I was planning another walk when I got home along with level 2 of Jillian. Work asked me to stay back, and with public holiday rates today, I couldn't refuse. Jillian will have to wait until tomorrow...
cardamom - how are you going?
Thanks jenjams - I still love them both just needed some inspiration
Posted 09 April 2012 - 09:02 PM
Ooh, public holiday rates would be hard to turn down. Perfectly understandable!
The pain in my legs has subsided at last Did my second day of Shred yesterday, though I kept getting distracted by things (ie. cooking dinner) and would have to pause for a couple of minutes then start again, so I don't think I worked as hard yesterday. Haven't done it today, am writing an essay at the moment (though I really could have fit it in, have time wasted a lot today!) Have Zumba tomorrow so I'm not sure I'll fit Jillian in too... As I said though, I just want something different to add into my exercise routine, so I'm not going to stress too much if I miss a day or two
Posted 10 April 2012 - 08:49 AM
sportysmurf - I feel the same about something is happening, some of my clothes are easier to put on lol Although I am no where near the level you are at. Silly question but are there different days to each level? I have just been starting Level 1 each day and doing the 20 mins???
Tried Level 2 today, oh goodness couldn't do half of it, didn't help that DS2 & DS3 kept playing near me and making lots of noise (at least they were not agruing) but still distracting. Will go back and do level 1 today I think, didn't feel like I got enough none today.
sugababe is bob different from jillian? I think I am going to need something different as well, I have zumba on dvd but am so not coordinated for that
Posted 10 April 2012 - 05:19 PM
Did RI30 � Level 2 for the 3rd time today (I�m just doing it twice a week). It is so much harder than L1. Hate to think what L4 will be like! The cardio is so much harder because so many of them seem to be plank based. I can run for 1.5 hours, but a couple of minutes of these kills me! I don't really feel like my abs are getting a great workout though, and wondering if I'm not quite doing some of these as correctly, or as hard as I should be.
DandS. I find the lungey bicep curls very unco! How many days are you doing RI30? I do RI30 during the day when DH isn't at home!
Sportysmurf. Well done on L3.
Aimee28. Are you back on track again?
*sugababe*. I haven�t tackled Bob yet. Figured 1 is enough for me at the moment, but he�s obviously a bit of a hit.
Cardamom. I�m doing JM just as a something different too. On the days that I do JM I do a bike ride in the morning on my inside bike trainer, then do a JM workout while 1 child is asleep.
DdDwMumMe. Which JM one are you doing? It�s a bit vague as to when to go up. I plan to stick with each level for about 3 weeks (so doing it 6 times as I�m doing it twice each week). I guess if you are truly doing the 30 day thing, then it would be about 1 level a week.
jenjams. Thanks for the motivation!
Thought I�d start a list of who�s in. Apologies if I�ve missed anyone � add your name if I have and I�ll update.
Jenjams � the motivator!
Posted 10 April 2012 - 05:43 PM
I did (RI30) Level 2 for the second time today, and I agree that it is so much harder duedec! I did find it slightly easier today though, more idea on what the moves were, and didnt have anyone trying to interrupt me. I found my arms were really sore today (after doing it yesterday), this level works on your arm strength so much more, and I have not much! I did it 4 or 5 times last week (I cant qiute remember!), but dont think I want to do it many more times than that. I still do something else on the days I do it, whether it be short run or ride.
wondering if I'm not quite doing some of these as correctly, or as hard as I
should be.
I worry about that too...
DdDwMumMe - I found doing level 2 yesterday for the first time near impossible with the distraction of kids watching me/making noise/distracting me. It is easier when you've done it once before, and you can concentrate!
Posted 10 April 2012 - 07:05 PM
I am doing the 30 day shred - had a look at menu and its only three separate 20 mins workouts. Might try to do the level 2 tomorrow when DH takes DS3 swimming, let the other two play the computer that should give me time to listen and work out what to do.
I took the boys out bike riding today, and I jog along side them and having races. Was nice to get out there and run but wow SandS I don't think I could do 1.5 hrs, I really am finding out how unfit I am. Hopefully that will all change soon.
duedec like the list
Posted 10 April 2012 - 07:21 PM
DdDwMumMe - it was duedec that can run 1.5 hours (though I hope I can soon!). Well done on getting out. I hope you can have another go tomorrow without distractions, I think it does help a lot being able to concentrate!
Sportysmurf - I hate planks, but love cardio! Sounds like you are doing really well.
Cardamom, keep at it!
Sugababe, What is your favorite Bob one? I have read good things about him, sounds like he must be good!
