Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kate888 such awesome pants I got these pants in the light purple and brown. The colors are just as great in person and I'm in love with the velvet. I am 5'4", 100 lbs and got my usual 26. The waist was a little roomy in the brown pair, but perfect in the purple. I'm sure the 25 would have worked too. The length is perfect for my height, doesn't bunch up at the bottom or have to be rolled. But I imagine it works for a lot of heights. 11.30.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by izzy4 True to size but short I sized up from my usual 25 to 26 in these because that's what I need to do for the FP skinny cords, but I think I could have gone with my regular size. The waist of the 26 was very loose on me. I would need a belt. The main reason I'm returning them though is that they are VERY short (I guess you can kind of tell in the photos). I'm 5'9" and need a 34" inseam for full-length pants. I'm used to skinnies that hit at the ankle, but these are more like mid-calf on me, which looks a little ridiculous for a winter pant. The material is thick, soft, and high-quality, but the brown color is much lighter in person than it looks in the photos -- looks more like the "acid wash" pictured on the polk-a-dot version of these pants. I would like them more if they were darker and longer. 9.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by agalfrommars Love these pants! I was afraid these pants may fit too small since I have purchased Free People pants in the past and they don't always run true to size. To my delight they fit perfectly. The fabric is soft, color is lovely, and the 5 pocket + crop is stylish. 12.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LunaFilia Love, but runs big I love, LOVE these pants, I got the Chrerry color in my normal size, but I could put them on without even unbuttoning the fly. so I sized down one size and I thought they fit, but after trying them on again, they were still a little to big, so sizing down once again.....I need these in my wardrobe. 12.14.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by SMP123 Cute but definitely a weird fit on me I wanted to love these so so much, and ordered them in cherry and the black polka dot, but they fit me so odd I am going to have to return them. I really wish I could have made them work, but they were a no-go for me. I am 5'4" 145lbs and ordered size 30, which is my usual size. They fit me fine in the legs as far as tightness goes, but the waist was much too wide. The length was also quite off for me. They were too long to br cropped and too short to be regular pants. They looked like pants you are just beginning to outgrow when you're going through a growth spurt as a youngster. Not a good look. might work for some but on me they were all wrong. 11.24.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sondra Super comfy and stylish! These are a great twist on skinny pants! I got the espresso color and it's gorgeous and the velvet is very soft. They fit wonderfully but lose their shape a bit during the day. Grow ever, they are still a gorgeous and flattering pant. Love them 11.23.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by inzoopsia in Louve Just bought these and the polka-dot velvet skinnies in a size 28 and they both have the same great fit! The waist is a bit loose, but nothing that a belt can't fit. They are extremely soft and comfy. Highly recommend. 11.22.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Tinimolina Pretty and soft, but not for me I tried the violet color on a store because I really wanted these pants. In person they look exactly like the pictures on the website; the colors are very accurate, actually. I'm 5,2'' 112 lb, and my usual size in FP pants is 25. However, they fit more snug than other similar FP pants. The color was amazing, but i just didn't like how I looked in the mirror with these skinnies. Lenght-wise, for me they were perfect. 11.18.2012

Blizzard responds to a class action lawsuit over the game developer and publisher's security methods.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against video game maker Blizzard, the creators of Diablo III, World of Warcraft, and Starcraft.
The lawsuit alleges that the company "fails to disclose to consumers that additional products must be acquired after buying the games in order to ensure the security of information stored in online accounts that are requisites for playing," according to a press release from law firm Carney Williams Bates Pulliam & Bowman, PLLC. "This deceptive upselling, coupled with Blizzard's negligence in maintaining proper security protocols, compromised millions of customers' email addresses, passwords, answers to personal securityquestions, and other items of sensitive information."
The suit, Benjamin Bell et al. vs Blizzard Entertainment, was filed in California earlier this week.
"Blizzard requires all of its customers to establish accounts with its online gaming service, Battle.net," according to the firm's Hank Bates, "but it fails to disclose to consumers, prior to purchase, that they'll need additional products called authenticators to keep information stored in these accounts safe. Even though the company frequently receives complaints about accounts being hacked, it simply tells the customer to attach an authenticator to their account. Blizzard doesn't inform people about this requirement when they purchase the game, and that amounts to a deceptive trade practice. Worse still, Blizzard has failed to maintain adequate levels of security for its customers, time and again, which led to a significant loss of private data in Blizzard's safekeeping."
Earlier this year, Blizzard confirmed that a security breach had occurred with the possible loss of customers' personal data. Still, security breach or not, Blizzard says they find the lawsuit absurd.
"This suit is without merit and filled with patently false information," a Blizzard spokesperson told me in an email, "and we will vigorously defend ourselves through the appropriate legal channels.
"We want to reiterate that we take the security of our players' data very seriously, and we're fully committed to defending our network infrastructure. We also recognize that the cyber-threat landscape is always evolving, and we're constantly working to track the latest developments and make improvements to our defenses."
Blizzard continues: "The suit's claim that we didn't properly notify players regarding the August 2012 security breach is not true. Not only did Blizzard act quickly to provide information to the public about the situation, we explained the actions we were taking and let players know how the incident affected them, including the fact that no names, credit card numbers, or other sensitive financial information was disclosed. You can read our letter to players and a comprehensive FAQ related to the situation on our website."
Blizzard also disputes claims that the Authenticator is required to achieve a minimal level of ccount security.
"This claim is also completely untrue," according to Blizzard, "and apparently based on a misunderstanding of the Authenticator's purpose. The Battle.net Authenticator is an optional tool that players can use to further protect their Battle.net accounts in the event that their login credentials are compromised outside of Blizzard's network infrastructure. Available as a physical device or as a free app for iOS or Android devices, it offers players an added level of security against account-theft attempts that stem from sources such as phishing attacks, viruses packaged with seemingly harmless file downloads, and websites embedded with malicious code.
"When a player attaches an Authenticator to his or her account, it means that logging in to Battle.net will require the use of a random code generated by the Authenticator in addition to the player's login credentials. This helps our systems identify when it's actually the player who is logging in and not someone who might have stolen the player's credentials by means of one of the external theft measures mentioned above, or as a result of the player using the same account name and password on another website or service that was compromised. Considering that players are ultimately responsible for securing their own computers, and that the extra step required by the Authenticator is an added inconvenience during the log in process, we ultimately leave it up to the players to decide whether they want to add an Authenticator to their account. However, we always strongly encourage it, and we try to make it as easy as possible to do."
More to come as this story unfolds.
As critical as I've been about the always online requirement in Blizzard's latest IP, Diablo III, their response to the security breach earlier this year was handled very well. They were open and communicated the issue quickly and effectively to players, and worked hard with law enforcement to figure out what happened. All companies, including banks and online retailers, face security issues similar to the ones Blizzard faces.
Nor does it strike me as very likely that Blizzard's optional security authenticators will be grounds for legal action—after all, they have no legal obligation to offer these to consumers to begin with.
I admit to being very skeptical of this kind of lawsuit. While I believe consumer protection issues are important, I also think voting with one's wallet is a better route to take than legal action, especially when it comes to something like video games.
The suit's plaintiffs seek damages and to prevent Blizzard from "tacking on additional, undisclosed costs to ensure security in the form of a post-point-of-sale Authenticator."
The suit also demands that Blizzard no longer require Battle.net accounts for any game that's not an MMO.
This might be a good idea, but it's not the sort of thing I want to see enforced through litigation. Businesses need to be able to craft their own business plan, even if that means signing up for an online account.Perhaps Blizzard ought to make its Authenticators free of charge—the app versions already are—but there is no way that the service ought to be enforced by a court.
Consumers are free to shop elsewhere, or to play games that have no similar requirement made by companies who they believe offer better security.

The Placement Tests
The placement tests are standardized tests used to determine the courses where you will be the most successful, and as such, they are not pass/fail tests. The tests include math, reading, and English. Carroll Community College utilizes Accuplacer, a College Board product.
The math test is comprised of multiple choice questions on an array of topics, similar in format as the SAT's. If it has been a while since you have taken a math course, you should study math before taking the test. The test begins with algebra questions and depending on your performance, you may be challenged by a basic or college-level math test. The test is computerized and untimed. While the testing program provides a calculator, when preferred, you may bring a calculator that meets ACT approval standards.
The reading section tests your knowledge of vocabulary and comprehension. You will read a passage and answer multiple choice questions about the passage. This test is computerized and untimed. If you test into a reading course, you will take a follow-up, diagnostic reading test to determine which reading modules will be required.
The English section can be two parts. The first part is computerized and untimed. The test requires constructing sentences as well as answering grammar questions. If you are borderline for college-level placement, you will be asked to provide a writing sample. For the writing sample, you will have 45 minutes to write a multi-paragraph essay, answering an opinion-based prompt. English professors evaluate the writing sample with a rubric that looks for a main idea, supporting arguments, organization, grammar, punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Be sure to review your completed essay and correct any errors. Your English placement is emailed to you in a few days.

May 22, 2008
WORCESTER, Mass. - Three Crusader athletes are among a total of 12 Holy Cross students who have been named 2008 Presidential Service Award recipients, as announced today by the college's student affairs department. Seniors Katie Falkowski (East Sandwich, Mass.), Cal St. Denis (Freelton, Ontario) and Victor Vaval (West Roxbury, Mass.) have all earned Presidential recognition after being nominated by members of the faculty and staff for their service and contributions to the college and greater Worcester communities.
A walk-on guard for the men's basketball team, Vaval played in two games this season, and totaled four points, two rebounds and a steal in eight games played during his collegiate career. Off the court, he served as co-chair of the Caribbean and African Student Assemblage (CASA), was a member of the Black Student Union, and brought the Lest We Forget exhibit to Holy Cross to educate students, faculty and staff on black history. Vaval was also a student assistant in the Holy Cross admissions office, and served as a Manresa retreat leader and a Christian Life community leader. A 2007 selection to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, Vaval will graduate with a degree in Economics and French.
A forward on the women's ice hockey team, Falkowski played in 22 games this season, scoring six points on two goals and four assists. Over the course of her four-year career as a Crusader, she totaled 15 goals and 22 assists for 27 total points. Off the ice, Falkowski served on the executive board of the Christian Life community group, while being one of eight student representatives to the College Advisory Board on Alcohol for two years, and a lector for three years. She was also a student leader for the Mexico Immersion program and participated in Student Programs for Urban Development, in addition to volunteering at St. Mary's Nursing Home in Worcester. A three-time selection to the ECAC East All-Academic team, Falkowksi will graduate with a degree in Sociology and Religious Studies.
A forward on the men's ice hockey team, St. Denis played in 23 games this season, scoring five points on three goals and two assists. Over the course of his four-year career as a Crusader, he totaled 14 goals and 21 assists for 35 total points. Off the ice, St. Denis founded Crusaders for Kids, a mentoring program connecting Worcester's inner city youth with Holy Cross athletes. He recruited and coordinated 50 varsity athletes to serve as volunteers, scheduled events, organized travel arrangements and secured donations. St. Denis has ensured the program will continue following his graduation, recruiting and training underclass teammates to organize the program for years to come. A selection to the 2007 Atlantic Hockey All-Academic team, St. Denis will graduate with a degree in Biology.

Hi All,
We had a discussion many moons ago about atheists and morality and a lot has happened since then. I reached some new conclusions (which I'll withhold for now so I don't poison the water) and at least one other poster here has some new ideas about it.
So, I was wondering what the prevailing opinion is out there on this topic. Do you believe that atheists can be "moral"? Is it impossible for an atheist to be truly moral? Is "morality" something to which adherents have a valid claim? The infamous Dawkins and Harris had a discussion at Oxford about this about a year or so ago that was very good and I would also be interested in what anyone thinks of what was discussed there.
Thanks and all are welcome.

All - small correction. When I said "Is morality something to which adherents have a valid claim?" I meant "Is morality something to which only adherents have a valid claim?". - kk
I don't see where Morality has anything to do with a god.
Morality exists.. God doesn't. Morality has changed over time.. over cultures...over societies..over belief systems. I like Dawkin's term.. 'the ever changing moral zeitgeist'.. Morality evolves as we do...it reflects the conditions we find ourselves in (or rather our interpretation of those conditions) and our 'answer' to those (interpreted) conditions.
Hey Wesley,
How would you define "morality" vis-a-vis "ethics"?
- kk
A set of rules that changes over time.... about what is considered 'Ok, Good, Neutral, Bad, Horrible, etc... Morality would be how we interpreted these 'rules' and how closely we kept to them. That said, I think morality evolves as we do..and that you can push or expand the boundaries of the morality if your argument is sound.
Okay, but where do atheists get such rules from? How would an atheist decide what is moral and what isn't?
- kk
I prefer the word 'ethics' instead of 'morals'. 'Morals' are particular sets of (usually religious) beliefs and teachings. 'Ethics' are principles of reason and philosophy.
For instance, same-sex marriages are 'immoral' based on most religions, but are not 'unethical' based on principles such as Humanism.
There are no 'rules' for ethics but there are principles. One of the most pervasive: help others and avoid harming others.
Hey Gallup's Mirror,
I prefer the word 'ethics' instead of 'morals'. 'Morals' are particular sets of (usually religious) beliefs and teachings. 'Ethics' are principles of reason and philosophy.
Yea, that makes sense.
- kk
I think that is just a matter of semantics myself. Ethics and morals are really the same in my book. I have heard the same sex marriage issue refered to as unethical by religious people. I think it is just a matter of personal preference which term you want to use. And I think the religious like to use these terms in reference to their beliefs in an effort to scare the poorly educated, generally stupid or naive people in the world into believing as they do. Remember the church in general has had hundreds of years to perfect their manipulstion skills. It's only the modern age, where even the poor can get a decent education, that has brought about the ability of the general population to truly understand the world around them and really see the church for what it is at heart... A fear mongering tool for controlling the poor and uneducated. By making the poor believe that they should accept their suffering and they will be rewarded in heaven the church was able to take money the people could not afford to loose and become one of the richest powers in the world even to this day... and in general the people bent over and took it with a smile and a thank you sir because of the fairy tales they were brainwashed with...
I know many people confuse the terms "morality" and "ethics," but two words with the same meaning eliminates a useful distinction.
Agreed and I think the most useful distinction lies along the lines of absolute objectivity (morals?) vs. practicably useful objectivity (ethics?). I'm not saying that is how we should define these terms, but maybe these should be key characteristics of them.
- kk
Hey Nikos,
I think I just read a few lines of searing Truth.
And I think the religious like to use these terms in reference to their beliefs in an effort to scare the poorly educated, generally stupid or naive people in the world into believing as they do.
This has been my key observation, inasmuch as "stupid" means duped and manipulated. I don't think "morality" can be properly understood until one understands this history. This dominates the discussion, imo. The question for atheists is, in spite of this history, is there any utility in this notion of "morality" for people free of this delusion? I believe there is but how we think of it is entirely different.
- kk
Morality (as distinguished from ethics) exists due to the scriptures of the religion, not because any deity exists.

Russell Doane (135) vs. Leandro Issa (136)
Video replay: UFC Fight Night 34 fighter weigh-ins
When the UFC called David Galera, the unknown fighter thought, Why me?
I was thinking a lot that night, Galera told MMAjunkie. I was like, Why me?I have a lot of teammates that are 10 times better than me, but I figured I must be here for a reason, Galera said. The next day, I went straight to the gym, geared up, and focused on training. I just trained, trained, trained.
Royston Wee says being UFCs first Singaporean no big deal, teases flying triangle
Im really glad that I can be the first Singaporean to fight in the UFC, but at the end of the day, it doesnt really matter if Im the first or the second or whatever, Wee told MMAjunkie. I want to be the best Singaporean fighter and a real title contender. It doesnt matter if Im first if, over the next few years, other Singaporean fighters are better than me.If I win this fight in a boring fashion, people will say it wasnt a good fight, Wee said. Im going in with a lot of knockout punches, and if I grab hold of him, look out for the flying triangle. Ive been working hard on that.
UFC Fight Night 34s Tarec Saffiedine says Hyun Gyu Lim unknown but worthy
In my heart, Im still the Strikeforce champion, he told MMAjunkie. But I had to put that aside and just focus on the future. Now, Im in the UFC, and I need to focus on that and get the win. I need to get another mindset.Obviously, I was really excited to fight Jake, he said. Jake is a big name, and I think it would have been a great fight. But I dont underestimate Lim, and Im excited to face somebody like him.
I think if you look at it another way, like, every win in the UFC is a step forward, he later added. And Lim is a good fighter. Even though hes unknown, hes a good fighter, and I believe a win over him puts me back on top.
Fight Night 34s Dustin Kimura: I just want to fight and put somebody to sleep
It just lit a fire under my ass, he told MMAjunkie Radio. I never want to get my ass kicked again, so its been the motivating thing thats ever happened to me.
Kimura, who was undefeated as a pro before UFC 165, said he never paid attention to his record. But now that there is a one on his resume where there used to be a zero, he feels differently.
It was just super humbling and motivating, he said.I think its going to be a super good fight, Kimura said. I know he said he wanted Fight of the Night; I want Fight of the Night. Im looking for the finish. Ive seen him fight before. Hes a scrappy dude from Guam, so I know its going to be fireworks.Hes probably, I would think, a little more nervous than hes been (with the) bright lights in the UFC, Kimura said of Reyes, whos won his past four on the regional circuit. I had that, the first-fight jitters. It takes a toll on you. But everyone handles it differently. Once he gets in there, its not going to matter. Hes there to fight and so thats all Im thinking about.
This is the UFC. Everyone is tough. Im here to welcome him.

A verbal argument between a woman and her boyfriend on Sunday resulted in an assault and a broken storefront window, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
According to a report, the incident happened about 1 a.m. Sunday outside Playoffs Bar at the corner of Richland Avenue and Newberry Street.
The 24-year-old victim told officers she was standing outside on the sidewalk near the bar and was grabbed and assaulted by the female suspect.
A witness told officers the suspect had just been involved with a verbal argument with her boyfriend in front of On Board Realty on Richland Avenue when she pushed him, causing him to fall through the window of the business and suffer a cut to his left forearm.
The suspect then turned to the victim and began assaulting her, striking her several times in the head and causing the victim to strike her head on the sidewalk, according to the report. The victim suffered multiple cuts and scrapes to her face and neck.
The suspect left the scene and didn't return, according to the report. Her boyfriend did not want to press charges, but the female victim did. Officers will obtain warrants for the suspect's arrest.
The report did not indicate if or how the suspect and victim knew each other.
Staff from On Board Realty could not be reached by officers, and staff from Playoffs secured the broken window with a piece of plywood.

Manny Pacquiao Speaks on Gays, Gets into Trouble
Didn't know whether this should be in YMAS or MA in the news or whatever, but I figure somebody will move it or something.
Anywhoo, Manny Pacquiao says some ****, motherfuckers accuse him of starting a gay witch hunt:
Goddammit. **** is ignorant around here.Originally Posted by Goju - joe
The important thing to remember is that examiner.com is a content mill. The "writers" on it get their beats basically by raising their hands and saying, "Me! Me!" and can publish any gibberish they like afterward. The original source for the Pacquiao interview is from examiner.com and is barely readable.
It's no surprise that a religious person is against gay marriage, but the examiner.com writer is so incompetent it's hard to figure out what Pacquiao actually said.

Riv, goddammit, ************, I thought what Pac said was in the article.
Yup, here it is

Pacquiao's directive for Obama calls societies to fear God and not to promote sin, inclusive of same-sex marriage and cohabitation, notwithstanding what Leviticus 20:13 has been pointing all along: If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
It's not at all clear to me that Pacquiao is quoting Leviticus here. Of course, the passage doesn't make sensewhy would a warning against promoting legal gay marriage be "notwithstanding" (i.e., in spite of) Leviticus? I'm also confused as to whom Pacquiao's directive is forObama, or "societies" in general. Did Pacquiao even mention Obama at all then? Remember, examiner.com is basically just a series of themed blogs; there's no editor turning nonsense into sense.
Style: Striking/Grappling/Poking--
You are correct. Once again, I have been undone by relying on terrible fucking journalism. Mission to find out what the **** Pac really said is underway. Still though, theoretically, if you were a bad ************ making lots of money like that ****, would you open your mouth to talk about homosexuals? Can't see that **** going well.Originally Posted by Goju - joe
Eh, unless Pac really did suggest that gays be put to death, he's giving out a bog-standard religious argument against gay marriage—one that Obama held for several years, until last week. Plus, Pac has his own constituency back home to think about. Obviously, I'd prefer that Pac be in favor of gay marriage, but I doubt this would hurt him overmuch unless he really was claiming that Old Testament law be put into effect.

really cuteThis is quite sturdy and very cute. My daughter uses it with her American girl dolls and the little pots and pans included add to the fun. The white has scuffed a bit with the hard play and the food was sort of a strange mix. All in all though very nice and was a good purchase.
It's a Wonderful Kitchen SetI bought this set for my 7 year old Granddaughter. She has 2 American girl dolls. It was very easy to put together & is very nice. All 3 of my Grandaughters play with it with their 6 American girl dolls & Bitty Twins...it is a great toy!

The farewell celebration for Associate Pastor Rebecca Maynard was full of laughter and tears Sunday.
Maynard is retiring from First Baptist Church of Elkin as of last Sunday, Feb. 24. She had held the position for more than 13 years.
The ceremony began with a PowerPoint presentation of Rebecca's accomplishments during her tenure. Titled "Many Faces of Rebecca Maynard," both her personal and church-related activities were highlighted, ranging from vacations to her time at the church. Following the slide show several of the church leaders spoke.
Her former pastor Bill Johnson, looked back to when he pastored First Baptist of Elkin and how Maynard had a great deal of responsibility placed on her right from the start. She was originally "hired" as a non-paid intern through her college for nine months, but at the end of that she was able to continue on for another nine months, he said.
When Johnson left on sabbatical for four months he left Maynard with a heavy load on her shoulders as associate pastor.
"When I left, a woman in the church told Rebecca she had big shoes to fill. When I got back that woman told me that I had big shoes to fill," said Johnson.
The church's minister of music, David McCollum, joked that Maynard's resignation came on the same day as Pope Benedict XVI's resignation. He said jokingly that perhaps Maynard was planning a denomination switch, or perhaps that "the pope just couldn't do it anymore knowing Maynard was gone."
David led the congregation in Maynard's favorite hymn, Micah verses 1-6 in song, then the group moved outside for the second half of the special presentation.
Maynard has championed the Labyrinth during her time at First Baptist. A spiritual walkway and courtyard designed to represent a believer's relationship with God, the area is a place Maynard and others use to reflect and pray. In celebration and remembrance of Maynard as she leaves, the church dedicated the First Baptist Church of Elkin's labyrinth in her honor. A poem written by Susan Neaves was read by Judy Nance entitled "Living Stones" and was then presented to Maynard in a pebble-encrusted frame.
The church then moved into the fellowship hall and held a time of refreshments and socializing to say farewell to Maynard. While she may not be moving away, she will be unable to attend church due to her new career as a labyrinth-designer and retreat supervisor for other churches. Those who spoke at the ceremony said they were happy for Maynard but that she would be greatly missed.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Kent State Recognized as a "Great College to Work For"Posted Jul. 22, 2013
Employees give university high marks for compensation and benefits
Kent State University is being recognized again as one of the nation's best. Kent State has been selected as one of this year's "Great Colleges to Work For" by The Chronicle of Higher Education, the nation's number one source of news, information and jobs for college and university faculty members and administrators. Based on a survey of more than 44,000 employees at 300 colleges and universities, The Chronicle's 2013 "Great Colleges to Work For" program recognizes small, medium and large institutions for specific best practices and policies.
The Chronicle released its 2013 results today, and Kent State is one of 97 colleges and universities to receive this prestigious designation. Kent State is the only Ohio public university on this year's list. Only two Ohio institutions made the list: Kent State and Walsh University, a private, four-year university. Kent State employees rated the institution highly enough to be recognized in the Compensation and Benefits category for large universities with 10,000 or more students.
This is the third time the university has been honored as a "Great College to Work For" in the past four years.
"Kent State's most valuable resource is our employees, and to be recognized by our employees for the investment the university makes in them – resulting in Kent State being named a 'Great College to Work For' – is a tremendous honor," said Joseph Vitale Jr., Kent State interim vice president for human resources. "Compensation goes beyond a salary. In addition to a paycheck, our compensation package includes health and welfare benefits, vacation benefits, tuition opportunities, retirement benefits and other resources. Our offerings in compensation and benefits help us attract, retain and develop the great talent that makes up this great university."
The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback.
Now in its sixth year, the "Great Colleges to Work For" program has become one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country.
"The institutions that the Great Colleges program recognizes provide innovative educational experiences – while also offering their employees outstanding workplace experiences – and we are eager to help readers learn more about them," said Liz McMillen, The Chronicle's editor.
For more information and to view all the results of the survey, visit The Chronicle's website at http://chronicle.com/article/great-colleges/140369#id=big-table. The survey results also will be published in The Chronicle's Academic Workplace special report in the July 26 printed edition.

Alumni Spotlight on Zach Bennett
In the Spotlight: Alumnus Zach Bennett
Alumnus Zach Bennett earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Kent State University. He was promoted from management associate to sales and service manager at Consumers National Bank in Alliance. In his new position, he oversees deposit accounts, consumer lending and branch operations.
Bennett decided to come to Kent State University at Salem after starting at another university. He said Kent State Salem was an excellent choice because of its proximity to his home, affordable tuition and small classes. After completing much of his coursework, he finished his degree at the Kent Campus.

Bennett said he really enjoyed his time at Kent State Salem. Small class sizes helped him get to know both his fellow students and professors. He fondly recalls Dr. Peggy Manchester, who was instrumental in his development, as he progressed through his math classes. "There were many times that Dr. Manchester took time out of her busy schedule to help me prepare for classes or to just explain concepts," Bennett said.
Another professor that influenced Bennett greatly was Dr. Ed Villella. "I remember having Dr. Villella for Intro to Business," Bennett said. "It was really, really hard. There was so much work. I couldn't help but think 'how am I ever going to make it through business if this is just the intro?'" By default Bennett said he had to take Villella's next class, and he wasn't looking forward to it. "Again, it was a lot of work," Bennett said. However, this time he knew what to expect. Because of the small class he got to know Villella better. "He really cared about his students. He helped me with my schedule and even gave his students his home phone number in case we needed something," Bennett said. After that class he tried to take as many courses with Villella as he could.
In addition to taking classes, Bennett's schedule allowed him to work as a teller at Consumers National Bank. He said working for Consumers was a smart move both while in college, and following graduation.
"The company culture at Consumers is what sets it apart from your average corporate bank," he said. "The employees at Consumers are just normal people in the community, and they understand the needs of the local customers."
Bennett encourages current students to research companies that they would like to work for. At interviews he suggests asking about the company culture. "The people you work with are like a second family," he said. "Sometimes, it's not all about the money."

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves saw a 2-0 lead erased by four straight Texas Stars tallies as they fell, 4-2, before a crowd of 11,626 in their second annual "School Day Game" at the Allstate Arena Wednesday.
Chicago (21-18-2-2) used a pair of second-period power-play goals by forwards Jared Ross and Nigel Dawes to build a two-goal lead, but couldn't find the back of the net in the third period to stay afloat.
"We played really well for two periods and our effort was very good, so this was unfortunate," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "They got two quick goals, which was too bad because Peter played a heck of a game."
The Wolves opened scoring, 56 seconds into the second period when center Jason Krog came streaking into the zone and slipped a backhanded pass across the ice for center Ross, who wound up and banged it past Texas goaltender Richard Bachman.
Chicago took a 2-0 lead, 7:43 into the second period. Wolves goaltender Peter Mannino started the play behind the Wolves net and sent it out to Krog, who carried it down the ice before flipping a pass to Dawes. Dawes took a shot, collected the rebound and flicked it past Bachman.
Bachman (14-7-2) turned aside 31 shots for the Stars.
Texas (22-13-2-2) cut the Wolves lead to 2-1 with 1:28 remaining in the second period. Left wing Fabian Brunnstrom worked the puck out from the boards behind the net and got a pass out to defenseman Dan Spang in front for a quick snap past Mannino.
Brunnstrom brought Texas even, 2-2, after he gathered the puck after a turnover in the neutral zone, moved in an fired shot past Mannino from the left face-off circle at 1:49 of the third period.
The Stars took a 3-2 lead 43 seconds later when defenseman Maxime Fortunus cranked a shot from the blueline that right wing Colton Sceviour was able to tip out of the air and past Mannino.
Mannino (12-10-1) posted 22 saves in the loss for the Wolves.
Brunnstrom iced the game for Texas with an empty net goal at 19:02 of the third period to round out scoring, 4-2.
The Wolves will host three home games in three days this weekend, beginning when the Houston Aeros visit the Allstate Arena on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Hi everyone,
I've posted a couple times in the "ask the experienced" forum. That has been such a help - I feel so much better equipped going in to all the appointments knowing what the 24 hour urine test means...
Anyway, I hope I'm in here for the long haul. I'm only 10 weeks pg with my 5th (and last). My BP has already been quite high, but seems to be going down for now. I have +2 protien in my urine due to my damaged kidney (I only have the one). Anyway, my perinatologist expects my BP will continue to decline until week 18-20 then start climbing again. He says we'll do "whatever it takes" at that point.
I guess there's a chance that everything will smooth out and go normally from here on in, but that seems unlikely to me. My friends and family think I'm a little nuts to be trying to sort out childcare in case I have to go on bed rest or be hospitalized, but it seems ineivitable to me. I realize my perspective is off - I've buried two baby boys. I expect the worst. Should I continue to plan for every possibility or is it healthier to assume that I'll be fine and take it as it comes?
Meanwhile, I have regular appointments with my OB, perinatologist and nephrologist (kidney dr) - all in different cities. Yikes! So much for my life... but it's all worth it.
Thanks for listening!

Police: Minor injuries reported in Route 7 crashBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | February 18,2014
PITTSFORD - A head-on crash this afternoon destroyed a car and a tractor trailer on Route 7 north of the village but only minor injuries were reported, according to Vermont State Police.
The two-lane highway remains only partially open after the crash which took place at about 2:40 p.m. In driving snow and slick conditions, a 2007 Toyota Corolla driven by Wayne Holt, 74, of Brandon, and a 2001 Mack tractor trailer with a trailer full of marble rocks in tow collided about a mile north of the intersection with the Florence Truck Route.
Police say a witness saw Holt's car veer into the southbound lane forcing the tractor trailer to cut into the northbound lane in an attempt to avoid a head-on crash.
The Corolla and the tractor and trailer ended up off the road on either side of the highway. The tractor trailer rolled over completely with the back of the trailer blocking the entire northbound lane.
Holt and Young were taken by ambulance to Rutland Regional Medical Center.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

Migration Collection
Image: Vinyl suitcase (1970s)
Source: Museum Victoria
The Migration Collection provides an overview of the many and diverse people who have migrated to Victoria since the 1830s, their motivations for coming, the material they brought with them, items accumulated on the journey, and the objects they made and acquired after settling here.
This material is varied and includes personal effects, domestic and work-related items, clothing and other textiles, luggage, shipboard souvenirs, photographs, art and craft works, and personal and immigration documents. The growing collection of documents relating to Australian immigration policy and promotion, and the processes by which people are selected, managed and organised, provides a critical bridge between the personal narratives and the narratives of nations - Australia's and others. Local community activity relating to migration is also represented, including cultural organisations formed to maintain cultural traditions; government and community support and administrative groups, such as the Good Neighbour Council; and protest and political movements, for and against immigration, multiculturalism and diversity.Scope of existing collection
The collection consists of around 6,000 items relating to individuals, families, communities and organisations. Acquisition is primarily by donation. Objects include personal items, artworks, work-related items, luggage, costumes, textiles, domestic equipment, documents and ephemera. Almost 60 per cent of the collection consists of 12 sub-collections of 50 items or more.
There are also many objects in other History and Technology collections, notably the Numismatics and Transport collections, which have direct relevance to the Migration Collection. The collection also includes a modest oral history collection relating to individual and family migration stories, as well as discreet oral history projects such as the Immigration and Artistic Practice Collection, the South Melbourne Tramworkers project, Melbourne Migrant Women Textile Workers, and Australian and Migrant-born Female Glory Box Experiences.

The Logan High School girls' volleyball team lost its final two matches of the regular season last week to Sissonville and Sherman at home.
Logan fell 25-18, 25-6, 25-14 to Sissonville last Tuesday, then lost 25-12, 25-18, 25-17 to Sherman last Thursday night.
The Lady Cats bid farewell to their two senior players last week in the Sherman match as Logan held its annual Senior Night. Playing for the last time at home were Logan's two senior players Ronnie Vance and Rachelle Toppings.
"Tonight was an emotional night for our team," Lady Cats' first-year coach Chelsey Stockdale said after the defeat to Sherman. "It was our last home game and our last regular season game. You could feel the emotion in the air for sure. We had a nice talk before the game about leaving everything we had on the floor and giving it our all — epecially for the seniors since it was our Senior Night."
Stockdale praised her two seniors.
"We came out and played as a team and hustled for everything," she said. "Our seniors really stepped up and showed the others on the team how a senior should act and lead. Rachelle Toppings had a great game at the net. She was on and her spikes were going down and into the open spots. She did really well serving too. She has struggled all season with her serve and has worked so hard at each practice on making it better and tonight it showed. Ronni Vance had a really good game. She was spiking like crazy and tipping the ball in the spots we needed them to go in. She had some really nice saves and some nice passes too. You can always count on Ronni to be a leader on the floor and to help pick the team up."
Stockdale said some of her other players also played well.
"Some other bright spots for us were in the back row with Lauren Ellis," she said. "She is just a very good back row player and always has good passes to our setters. She picked up some really good spikes and passed up some hard serves. I expect great things from her next season too. Our setters did a great job tonight too. Summer (Napier) and Aarron (Ward) were all over the floor. Both had some really amazing saves and both did what they needed to do when the ball came to them. They played smart. Kealeigh Morgan and Haley Meade saw playing time and both did good at the net. Kealeigh has a nice spike and she knows where to place the ball. She is consistent ad that's what a good hitter needs to be. Haley had some nice pick ups and some nice spikes as well."
Stockdale said the first season at the helm went well for the most part.
"I was pleased with tonight and how they played," she said. "I talked with the girls afterwards and told them thanks for a good first season and that I couldn't wait until next season. I know we are excited for tournaments which start Monday and I am hoping to see nothing but good things from them. I know if we play like the team we can be then we will do well."
Stockdale said her team lost to a very good Sissonville team last week.
"We played well, but Sissonville is a tough team," she said. "They have some really outstanding hitters and they cover the floor well. Our girls came out the first game with intensity and were making some huge plays and blocking, but after the first game we couldn't get back into it. Summer Napier had a good game, but ended up hurting her hip and you could tell she was in pain and it was affecting her. She fought through it though and did not want to come out and finished the match. Tiffany Jude played a really good game at the net for us. She was spiking the ball to the open spots and did everything we needed her to do. I am pleased with how they played against Sissonville. They knew they were going to be a tough team to play against so that is all you can ask for."
Logan's JV team also lost a pair of matches last week to Sissonville and Sherman.
The Lady Cats' lost 25-16, 25-20 to the Lady Indians.
"Our JV team played really well," Stockdale said. "Hannah Workman really came out of her shell and was hitting extremely well against sissonville. She has continue to improve throughout the entire season. Abby Kirk really did a good job all around for the team too. She had some nice passes and hits and she did good serving. Shelby hall did outstanding for us in the back row. She had really nice passes all night and some good digs. Haylie Bryant's serves were on tonight for sure. She really helped us rack up some points tonight."
Logan's JV team then lost 23-25, 25-19, 23-25 to the Tide.
"The JV girls played extremely well tonight," Stockdale said. "They had fun and played as a team. Even though they lost it was still a good game to watch. Every person on JV got some playing time tonight, too, and I was happy about that. Katelyn Jones did good tonight and played well. She always gets nervous on the floor, but tonight she was a little more relaxed. Sam Collins did well for us too. She had some nice pick ups and did a good job. Katelyn Williamson had a really good game for us to. She had some nice saves. She did really well at the net too. She put the ball where it needed to go and got the job done for us."
Logan was slated to play Lincoln County in the Class AAA sectionals on Monday night at Cabell Midland.
The Lady Cats had previously lost 25-8, 25-4 on Oct. 22 at Man and won 25-17, 28-26, 25-18 on Oct. 18 at home over Tug Valley. Logan fell 31-29, 25-17 on Oct. 15 at home to Lincoln County.

Arizona Wildcats
Arizona Wildcats football notes: Ka'Deem Carey takes the rushing crown
This story is courtesy of the Arizona Daily Wildcat.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. � It was touted as the game within the (bowl) game.
Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey versus Nevada's Stephon Jefferson in a battle for the national rushing title, and with the New Mexico Bowl on the line.
As it turned out, the rushing battle was more of a first half storyline than the second, as Arizona's remarkable comeback with less than two minutes remaining stole the headline.
But, the rushing battle was intriguing nonetheless.
Jefferson won the in-game battle in rushing 180 yards to Carey's 172, but Arizona won the game 49-48 and Carey maintained the national rushing lead as Jefferson needed to outrun Carey by 55 yards to take the lead in rushing yards per game.
"That dude's a great player," Carey said about Jefferson. "I'm happy I got to see him play and just the way he carries himself out there. He won the battle, that's how you do it."
In the first half, Carey outran Jefferson 145-129, but the duo received significantly less touches in the second. Carey appeared to have a chance to become Arizona's first-ever 2,000 yard rusher, but that never came to fruition when he tallied just 12 yards in the third and 15 in the fourth. Jefferson only had seven carries in the final half.
Carey, who scored three touchdowns against the Wolf Pack, finished the year with 1,929 yards (or 148.4 per game) and a school-record 23 rushing touchdowns, breaking Wildcat great Art Luppino's record of 21 set in 1954.
The sophomore back took the national total rushing yardage lead away from Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch, but Lynch still has the Orange Bowl on New Years Day against Florida State to catch up to Carey. Lynch will need 159 yards on the ground for the advantage.
Jefferson ended up with 1,883 (144.8 per game) and 23 touchdowns on the season.
Fisticuffs ensue between two Wildcats
Toward the end of the first quarter a fight broke out on the sideline between two Wildcats.
Tevin Hood, a junior defensive tackle, and Cody Ippolito, a freshman linebacker, each threw a punch at each other before being separated as Arizona trailed the Wolf Pack in the early going.
Head coach Rich Rodriguez said he didn't see what happened because he was busy "coaching the game."
"As soon as I heard what happened, we sent the guys to the locker room," Rodriguez said. "It was embarrassing, but I didn't see it, so I can't comment on it."
Ippolito was sent off the field immediately, while Hood went in after a few drives.
After being sent to the locker room the players left University Stadium with their families, according to Rodriguez.
Hood, a walk-on transfer from Duke, played in every game this season for the UA and had 24 tackles (two for loss) on the season and had two tackles before leaving.
He's not Terrence Miller
In the first of Arizona's final two drives in the fourth quarter, which helped the Wildcats overcome a 13-point deficit, a No. 18 trotted out onto the field as an outside receiver.
His number was 18, but there was no name on the back of the jersey.
Injured senior receiver Terrence Miller is listed at No. 18, and the PA announcer at the stadium announced Miller as the one who went on to record three catches for 23 yards in the final two minutes, including the game-winning 2-yard touchdown grab with 19 seconds left.
ESPN followed suit, saying Miller had the game-winning grab in its one minute highlight of the game online.
It wasn't Terence Miller, though, it was Tyler Slavin.
The sophomore receiver, who has worn No. 11 all season, had to wear No. 18 "because there already was a No. 11" on special teams.
He tried to best portray his inner Miller, the senior who has missed most of the season with injuries and is seeking a medical redshirt.
"You could say that," Slavin said, laughing. "Whatever it is, if I'm playing I'm gonna play how I play and do what I'm most capable."
After not seeing any snaps in the game prior to that, and struggling with drops in a few games this season, it came as a bit of a surprise to see Slavin not only on the field in crunch time, but as Scott's primary target in the two most important drives of the game.
Rodriguez gave a simple reason why Slavin got the reps in the end.
"Fresh legs," he said.
"We had fresh legs in the end. Got him in there, and he was running a little different speed. [Receivers] coach [Tony] Dews and I talked about it, saying we have to get Tyler in there because our receivers were running a lot of deep routes. When he got in there, he performed, I was really proud of him."
Slavin didn't care why he only got in at the end, but he was happy to contribute to getting a win for Scott and the rest of the seniors.
"That could've been the reason but whatever the case was I'm glad they did put me in," Slavin said. "With my season I started off a little sluggish so for that to happen it gave me more motivation and it's a good feeling."
As for the final touchdown grab that wound up winning the game for the UA, which was a "memory for a lifetime" for him, Slavin said he got the signal for a slant pattern and lined up "wider than normal."
"I just got off the line and the ball was thrown and I caught it."
