I am always surprised at the number of people I meet that say they always wanted to be a veterinarian or that one of their children wants to be one. While becoming a veterinarian takes considerable commitment and sacrifice, the end results are well worth it! It is never too early (or too late) to think about applying to vet school. When I first decided to give it the old college try, I had no idea how to get started. Here are a few of the basics about applying to vet school:
Veterinary school itself is a four-year program. There are 28 vet schools in the country, and several in Canada, the Caribbean, and abroad. In order to be eligible to apply for vet school, you must complete the prerequisite courses for the particular school you wish to apply to. Most of the schools have very similar requirements, but there are some small differences. You do not have to obtain a degree to apply, although many people (including myself) do. Another requirement for most schools is to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). It is somewhat similar to the SAT, but more difficult, of course. Unlike most other graduate/professional schools, experience does count! Many students work or volunteer for veterinary clinics during high school and undergraduate studies. However, quantity does not necessarily matter. I had 3 years of experience working with horses and 1 year experience working at a small animal practice. My personal opinion is that experience in many different areas will make you a more solid candidate and will also help with your career decisions down the line. It is also important to realize that getting accepted to veterinary school is difficult and once you do get in, it is expensive! The average applicant applies 3.8 times before being accepted (2007 number) and the average graduate has around $100,000 in debt. In the end, any veterinarian will tell you that it was worth the all of the blood, sweat, and tears it took to get there! For more information about applying to veterinary school, visit the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges.

Gregoire made the appointment Oct. 29, although it was not announced by the college district until Tuesday. Governor's spokesman Jason Kelly, responding by email, wrote that the younger Gregoire — she is 33 — "has more than ample experience to serve on this community college board."

For several years in the late 1980s and early '90s, following New York Governor Mario Cuomo's flirtations with a presidential run became one of the country's favorite political parlor games. In the end, despite being courted by the liberal press and many Democratic Party insiders, Cuomo never was able to pull the trigger on his candidacy and became known as "Hamlet on the Hudson" for his indecision. But whatever else one can say about his son Andrew, it appears that the current governor of the Empire State doesn't suffer from the same malady. Any doubts about his intention to run for president in 2016 were dissipated yesterday with a state of the state speech that was a shopping list of liberal talking points and causes aimed at shoring up the governor's standing with left-wing activists who are the core of the Democratic Party base.
Pandering to the left is always smart politics in a Democratic primary nomination race. Cuomo's histrionics about guns, global warming, the minimum wage and abortion were exactly what he needs to establish his credentials with liberal donors and those who will be doing the bulk of the voting in Democratic contests that will be held three years from now. But the left-wing laundry list he enunciated yesterday in Albany is not without its risks. Even in a contest that is likely to be one in which the entrants will compete for the affection of liberal interest and constituency groups, the central theme of American politics in the next few years is likely to center on the question of how to deal with the deficit. But, as even a sympathetic article in the New York Times about his speech pointed out, there doesn't appear to be any conceivable way that the state can pay for all of the new programs and government handouts Cuomo wishes to implement. Seen in this light, his manifesto shows exactly how the nation got in the mess that the president and Congress have been fighting about. This sort of stuff may generate applause in New York, but is the country really ready for another round of taxing and spending that Cuomo wants to initiate?
In lurching so strongly to the left, Cuomo also opened himself up to charges of being as big a flip-flopper as Mitt Romney. That's because Cuomo ran for governor promising to bring a state that had been wrecked by the spendthrift policies of his Democratic and Republican predecessors back to fiscal sanity and then attempted to govern in that manner during his first two years in office. Cuomo's moderate style, coupled with his willingness to reach across the aisle to Republicans in the legislature, was both popular and effective. But he and his advisors clearly think the kind of good government style that Americans keep telling pollsters they want isn't the right formula to win the Democratic presidential nomination.
Instead of fiscal sense, Cuomo now offers the public liberal patent nostrums, such as more gun control in a state where it is already difficult to legally own a firearm, a higher minimum wage guaranteed to decrease the number of entry level jobs in a time of high unemployment, solar energy subsidies that could repeat the Solyndra fiasco on a state level, and more spending on a host of other issues designed to appeal to liberal sensibilities without much talk about how to pay for it.
Cuomo thinks by establishing himself as the progressive in the race he can't be outflanked on the left by any other candidate in 2016, and he may be right on that. But even Democrats are aware that the country is going bust. One imagines that Vice President Biden, who is attempting to burnish his image these days as a man who is making deals to fix the budget crisis rather than make it even worse, is taking notes about Cuomo's speech that could skewer the younger Cuomo in a potential match up.
After yesterday, no one is likely to call Andrew Cuomo another Hamlet, but neither will they ever tag him as the sort of Democrat who is part of the solution to the country's problems rather than the kind who got us into the current mess.

New York Times, February 28, 2003 -- In a contentious exchange over the costs of war with Iraq, the Pentagon's second-ranking official today disparaged a top Army general's assessment of the number of troops needed to secure postwar Iraq. House Democrats then accused the Pentagon official, Paul D. Wolfowitz, of concealing internal administration estimates on the cost of fighting and rebuilding the country. Mr. Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, opened a two-front war of words on Capitol Hill, calling the recent estimate by Gen. Eric K. Shinseki of the Army that several hundred thousand troops would be needed in postwar Iraq, "wildly off the mark." Pentagon officials have put the figure closer to 100,000 troops. Mr. Wolfowitz then dismissed articles in several newspapers this week asserting that Pentagon budget specialists put the cost of war and reconstruction at $60 billion to $95 billion in this fiscal year. He said it was impossible to predict accurately a war's duration, its destruction and the extent of rebuilding afterward. "We have no idea what we will need until we get there on the ground," Mr. Wolfowitz said at a hearing of the House Budget Committee. "Every time we get a briefing on the war plan, it immediately goes down six different branches to see what the scenarios look like. If we costed each and every one, the costs would range from $10 billion to $100 billion." Mr. Wolfowitz's refusal to be pinned down on the costs of war and peace in Iraq infuriated some committee Democrats, who noted that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., the budget director, had briefed President Bush on just such estimates on Tuesday. "I think you're deliberately keeping us in the dark," said Representative James P. Moran, Democrat of Virginia. "We're not so na�ve as to think that you don't know more than you're revealing." Representative Darlene Hooley, an Oregon Democrat, also voiced exasperation with Mr. Wolfowitz: "I think you can do better than that." Mr. Wolfowitz, with Dov S. Zakheim, the Pentagon comptroller, at his side, tried to mollify the Democratic lawmakers, promising to fill them in eventually on the administration's internal cost estimates. "There will be an appropriate moment," he said, when the Pentagon would provide Congress with cost ranges. "We're not in a position to do that right now."

WASHINGTON, March 25, 2010 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates today announced changes to the Pentagons regulation on homosexuals serving in the military that he said make the Defense Departments enforcement of the so-called Dont Ask, Dont Tell law fairer and more appropriate.
On Feb. 2, Gates announced hed ordered a review to understand the implications of a possible repeal of the 17-year-old law that bans gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. President Barack Obama has called on Congress to repeal the law.
The initial 45 days of that review, Gates said, produced findings that would enforce the existing law in a fairer and more appropriate manner and are supported by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy Adm. Mike Mullen and Vice Chairman Marine Corps Gen. James E. Cartwright and the service chiefs. Story | Transcript

Spectranetics Laser Sheath (SLS II) Dissolves Tissue Holding Leads in Place
The Spectranetics Laser Sheath (SLS II) system uses for removal of cardiac leads. The SLS II uses "cool" ultraviolet light to safely, effectively and efficiently ablate scar tissue that holds problematic leads in place.
A circle of fibers that emit pulses of energy travels over the cardiac lead to dissolve scar tissue that binds the lead to the body. Once the scar tissue is dissolved, the lead can be safely removed. The device can be used with Spectranetics' Lead Locking Device (LLD) technology, which can be used to assist removal with the SLS II by transmitting traction on the lead from within its hollow inner structure.
This technology has been used in the U.S. and Europe for more than a decade in over 45,000 successful procedures and is an important tool to manage lead-related issues that may arise in the roughly 4 million pacing and defibrillation leads implanted annually in patients worldwide.

With the "Avatar" effect still in play, TV manufacturers, content providers and a gaggle of 3-D aficionados are continuing their efforts to resurrect 3-D. Here we go. Again.
This is at least the third time since 3-D was first brought to life in the 1950s that the industry has tried to revive the technology. Attempts once again started in theaters and have actually made the jump to TV screens, but this time it might be small screens that key the revival.
Smartphones, tablets and cell phones are adding 3-D, evidenced by Sprint and HTC's announced rollout of their stereoscopic (no glasses) 3-D smartphone this summer.
And Nintendo's 3DS, reportedly the world's first glasses-free 3-D gaming console, just hit the market, with more small screen 3-D on the way.
Advanced technology and more content, albeit not much, are both blessings and curses for 3-D. Building a business model around 3-D is high on the curses list, too.
So what's moving the 3-D needle? And why now? And what's inhibiting its migration into homes and beyond?
"Content is inhibiting 3-D TV, and consumers say they don't like the glasses. So why pay for a few hours of content each month and have to buy and wear 3-D glasses?" asked Paul Gray, director of European TV research at DisplaySearch.
Good question. With today's technology, 3-D simply doesn't work well for viewers watching at an oblique angle. The near-term answer may lie in better glasses, at least until glasses-free technologies such as object wave, stereoscopic, holographic projection and others allow the 3-D experience to be enjoyed by more than one person staring directly at a screen – large or small.
"The development of active and passive glasses is important, and there are ways of increasing the resolution of TV sets, but at a high price. The idea is to create an immersive experience with 3-D. We're just learning how to do that," said Michelle Abraham, principal analyst at In-Stat.
The 3-D experience is spreading to mobile devices, as well, which according to Motorola Mobility's director of product management Mark Schaffer makes sense.
"Mobile devices are much better suited for autostereoscopic 3-D TV," he said.
And no glasses are required. And that's a good thing.
"Handheld devices are glasses-free, and that works for small screens. So 3-D will excel there, but not near-term with bigger screens. The challenges in delivering stereoscopic technology are overflowing, like edge violation, ghosting, geometric distraction, divergence and more," maintains Dave Broberg, vice president of consumer video technology at CableLabs.
Translation: 3-D is being experimented with, big time. And most agree those overflowing challenges will take five years to solve before glasses-free 3-D TV is comfortably in your living room.
"There are developments in the glasses-free space, but not happening quickly. There are lots of problems to overcome before there's glasses-free TV. But it's now on the roadmap for service providers and manufacturers," said Brian Markwalter, vice president of research and standards for the Consumer Electronics Association.
The road isn't a free ride, however.
"The production costs are double to produce 3-D content. Those costs must be reduced. Cable and satellite providers are looking at 3-D very heavily, but cost-efficiently producing 3-D content is several years away, and that makes the revenue models difficult to justify," said Marco Lopez, senior vice president of infrastructure for Miranda Technologies.
But hey, wasn't HD's road to stardom blessed and cursed with similar stops and starts? And didn't In-Stat just predict more than 100 3-D channels by 2015?
Well, yes. But so what, some experts maintain.
Concluded Gray: "3-D is in the experiment and investment stage. It doesn't seem to have moved the income needle at the movies, and we don't see it in every HD lineup, so we're negative on 3-D TV and positive on 3-D gaming."
Positive or not, 3DTV is coming, and eventually sans glasses. In the meantime, the experiment continues. Again.

From a Tinker Air Force Base News Release
TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla., May 21, 2013 The base community here immediately began supporting the civilian community, fellow airman and sailors and their families after the devastating tornado that struck nearby Moore, Okla., yesterday.
Twelve base firefighters and a safety officer were immediately dispatched to assist with rescue activities near 19th Street and Interstate 35 in Moore, and a surgeon was dispatched to the University of Oklahoma Medical Center. More help was provided overnight with lights, vehicles and water trucks, and volunteer airmen prepared to assist with crowd control and recovery efforts.
Air Force Col. Steven Bleymaier, 72nd Air Base Wing commander, directed Tinker's airman and family readiness center to stand up its 24/7 emergency family assistance center to ensure base personnel and their families received effective support. Base personnel who need immediate assistance with food, clothing or emergency financial assistance can contact the center at 405-739-2747.
The emergency family assistance center also is seeking volunteers to "adopt" Tinker families who have been directly affected by the tornadoes by offering temporary shelter in their home.

CLEVELAND --As the holiday season approaches, many of us are looking to take a trip. Tickets are expected to be as high as $420, right after airlines report record profits.
Since 2008, airlines have reevaluated the way they fly by adding a fee for every service they provide. Now the top nine airlines in the United States banked $1.7 billion, just on the fees for your checked bags.
"I flew from Vegas to Mississippi and that was $100 a bag almost, you know. That is ridiculous to me," said Eddy Cooper, of Mississippi.
In addition to baggage fees, airlines brought in $1.3 billion by people cancelling their flight or changing their reservations. Together, the top nine airlines raised $2.3 billion in profit in the second quarter.
This year, Delta rakedin the most money at $823 million. United was second with $686 million and American Airlines rounded out the top 3 with $549 million.
"I think they made just a little too much and can bring the prices down. I don't feel like they are working for their passengers," says Andrea Redd, of Atlanta.
As more airlines merge and new fees arise, airlines could make over $4 billion by the end of this year.

The cast, crew, and even the characters of The Bob & Angus Show will be present for Gen Con this year in Indianapolis to interact with tens of thousands of board gamers. Previous episodes of The Bob & Angus Show have established that sheep are not allowed into the convention hall for public health reasons. Their method of entry will be revealed during the opening ceremonies of Gen Con on Thursday, August 16th.
Episodes of the puppet show have been released every Thursday on YouTube for the last 2 ½ years. All three sheep characters maintain their own Facebook pages, twitter feeds, and blogs, creating a rich transmedia experience. During the week of the convention, the story will ramp up with surprise sightings, live performances, and film festival screenings. Fans will be able to interact directly with the sheep, take pictures, and meet the cast and crew that bring the show together.
Characters Bob MacWordell, Angus McPeters, and Claire O'Brien will perform at the Thursday night Mayfair Games Block Party on Georgia Street with special guests Walter Koenig, Michael Stackpole, Matt Forbeck, Mike Selinker, James Ernest, Peter Adkison, Adrian Swartout, and Michael Mirth. During exhibit hall hours, the cast and characters will be found in and around the Mayfair Games exhibit area at booth 119.
About The Bob & Angus Show

It is designed to entertain and to increase awareness of the board games in the Mayfair Games line-up.

text: The problem with calling the Reds system bad is you have to compare it to something. Most of the time these guys don't follow an exact farm system like we do. So they might not know who Johnny Cueto is until he hits Double A and produces well. They also tend to write off Reds pitching prospects because of the past which is fair to say the least. I personally don't see how our farm system isn't around the 10 to 15. We have two guys who might be in the top 10 in the entire minors. That has to account for something. When you look and see the A's system or the Padres and others there is no way they have the talent the Reds have right now. I think top end talent when it is that high has to figure in big time. Also I asked BA where Drew Stubbs would be ranked in they said with his potential and defense alone he would rank anywhere from 45-65. That is four high end prospects. Travis Wood may also figure into the top 100. We will see when the rankings come out. I believe they will have the mid-season rankings either this week coming up or the next week.

NZCER began regular surveys of primary schools in 1989, focusing on the impact of the educational reforms that began then. Over the years the surveys have given us a picture of what is happening in schools and enabled us to see changes over time.
In 2003 we added secondary schools and a one-time survey of early childhood education services to the series. All the reports that have been released so far from the survey series are listed at the bottom of the page. Primary and secondary sectors will continue to be surveyed about every three years.
NZCER National Surveys are funded by the Purchase Agreement with the Ministry of Education
Survey News
The 2013 National Survey of Primary and Intermediate Schools has been completed. A report of the full survey results is now available. It covers many aspects of school experience, including school resources, school interactions with government agencies, the New Zealand Curriculum in schools, National Standards, student wellbeing, and use of technology.
In 2015 we will be conducting another National Survey of Secondary Schools.

RAF Lossiemouth (IATA: LMO, ICAO: EGQS) is a Royal Air Force station to the west of the town of Lossiemouth in Moray, Scotland.
It is one of the RAF's biggest bases and is Britain's main base for Tornado GR4s.
From Summer 2014, the Northern Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) force of Typhoon FGR4 will relocate to Lossiemouth following the closure of RAF Leuchars. This will leave Lossiemouth as the only operational RAF base in Scotland.
Second World War[edit]
Royal Air Force Lossiemouth was built during 1938 and 1939 with No. 15 Flying Training School forming in April 1939. The first aircraft to use Lossiemouth regularly were Oxfords and Harvards but, due to the location and good weather, many different types of aircraft were frequently diverted to the station. In April 1940, the station was handed over to RAF Bomber Command and 20 Operational Training Unit was formed. Although mainly a training unit for bomber crews during the Second World War, some operational raids were launched from Lossiemouth, the most important being 617 "The Dambusters" Squadron's successful attack on the Tirpitz, pride of the German battle fleet, on 12 November 1944.
Cold War[edit]
At the end of the hostilities the station became a satellite unit of Milltown in RAF Coastal Command, before being handed over to the Fleet Air Arm in 1946 and becoming RNAS Lossiemouth (HMS Fulmar). The Fleet Air Arm used Lossiemouth as a training station with pilots receiving their basic training here before moving to RNAS Culdrose (HMS Seahawk) for instrument training. The final stage of training, deck-landing, was practised at Milltown before students were allowed to land on HMS Theseus in the Moray Firth. On 28 March 1967 Blackburn Buccaneer planes from Lossiemouth bombed the shipwrecked supertanker Torrey Canyon off the western coast of Cornwall to make the oil burn in order to avoid an environmental disaster.
The Fleet Air Arm handed the station back to the Royal Air Force on 28 September 1972 and 'D' Flight, 202 Squadron, the Helicopter Search and Rescue Flight, was the first RAF unit to return. The Fleet Air Arm 849 Gannet Squadrons also moved from Brawdy in Wales to Lossiemouth at this time. May 1973 saw the arrival of the Jaguar Conversion Team (renamed 226 Operational Conversion Unit on 1 October 1974) and in August 1973, 8 Squadron Avro Shackleton transferred to Lossiemouth from nearby Kinloss. In December 1978, No. 48 Squadron RAF Regiment arrived to provide short-range defence with their Rapier surface-to-air missiles. In July 1979, 2622 (Highland) Royal Air Force Auxiliary Regiment was formed, tasked with the ground defence of the station. From 1978 to 1981, No. 2 Tactical Weapons Unit RAF flew Hawker Hunter from Lossiemouth prior to the reopening of RAF Chivenor.
On 1 July 1991, the Shackletons of 8 Squadron retired from service and on 1 October 1991 237 Operational Conversion Unit was disbanded. In 1992 however, another unit was added to the station strength with the formation of 237 Field Squadron of the Territorial Army responsible for Airfield Damage Repair. This squadron became part of 76 Engineer Regiment (V) RE, responsible for ADR in the North and Scotland. Also during that year, the important links between RAF Lossiemouth and the District of Moray were further strengthened when the station formally received the Freedom of Moray.
Post Cold War[edit]
Major changes took place in 1993 with the Blackburn Buccaneer anti-shipping squadrons starting to be replaced by the Panavia Tornado. On 1 October, 12(B) Squadron lost its Buccaneers but kept its squadron number-plate when re-equipped with Tornados. On 1 November, the Tornado Weapons Conversion Unit, renamed XV(Reserve) Squadron arrived from RAF Honington in Suffolk.
In April 1994, 208 Squadron was disbanded and was replaced by 617 Squadron, which transferred with their Tornados from RAF Marham in Norfolk. Although 48 Squadron Royal Air Force Regiment left Lossiemouth for Honington on 1 July 1996, RAF Lossiemouth continued to be one of the busiest front-line stations in the RAF with 3 Tornado Squadrons, including XV(Reserve) Squadron, 16(Reserve) Squadron (previously 226 OCU) and 'D' Flight, 202 Squadron with their Sea Kings. This line-up continued until July 2000, when the Jaguars left for RAF Coltishall in Norfolk; however, with the increase in size of XV(Reserve) Squadron in 1999 following the closure of the Tri-national Tornado Training Establishment at RAF Cottesmore, the arrival of the Tornados of 14 Squadron from RAF Brüggen in January 2001, RAF Lossiemouth has become the busiest fast-jet station in the Royal Air Force. In May 2001, 51 RAF Regiment Squadron was reformed and now sits with 2622 Auxiliary Squadron under the newly formed 5 Force Protection Wing Headquarters at RAF Lossiemouth.
Current structure[edit]
The RAF Lossiemouth structure:
- 140 Expeditionary Air Wing
- Air Combat 1 Group
- No. 1 Squadron RAF - from Leuchars.
- No. 2 Squadron RAF - from Marham
- No. 6 Squadron RAF - from Leuchars.
- No. XV(R) Squadron RAF (OCU)
- Air Combat 2 Group
- No. 202 Squadron RAF – 'D' Flight – Sea King Search and Rescue helicopters.
- RAF Regiment
Future aircraft[edit]
In November 2005, it was announced that Lossiemouth would be the main base for the RAF's fleet of F-35 Lightning IIs (designated the Joint Combat Aircraft by the Ministry of Defence).[1] However, in March 2013 a review concluded that RAF Marham in Norfolk would become the main operating base for the F-35 and that Lossiemouth would instead become home to three squadrons of Typhoons.[2][3]
The President of Virgin Galactic, Will Whitehorn stated in an interview with Space.co.uk on 29 April 2008 that the company was considering flying from RAF Lossiemouth during the summer months only.[4] This option for Virgin Galactic has since been revised and it now seems unlikely that RAF Lossiemouth will be used.
On 18 July 2011, Defence Secretary Liam Fox announced that RAF Leuchars would close, whilst RAF Lossiemouth in Moray would be spared as part of the recent Strategic Defence and Security Review. The recently formed Northern QRA force of Typhoon FGR4s, which was stood up at Leuchars in March 2011, will now be moved to RAF Lossiemouth in 2014. Leuchars will be converted to a British Army base and with RAF Kinloss set for the same fate, RAF Lossiemouth will be the only operational RAF base in Scotland by the mid-2010s. No. 6 Squadron RAF have already moved to Lossiemouth in June of 2014 and No. 1 Squadron RAF in September 2014[5] No 2 (AC) Squadron has recently been disbanded at RAF Marham as a Tornado squadron and is in the process of forming at RAF Lossiemouth as the fifth RAF Typhoon Squadron, while ex RAF Lossiemouth Squadron, No 12 (B) will assume the responsibilities of 2 (AC) at RAF Marham.

Yup, it's called Tripp Hill.
Saw that flying today around noon and thought a bomb might drop out of it.
When you don't have a brain, blame the President.
Isn't that move illegal?
No mention of his work as Sargent Willy Dunlop in the greatest 80's movie of all time....Superfuzz!
If fires were allowed to burn as nature intended, we wouldn't have new fires every year. The Earth doesn't care that we've built homes in flammable areas.
If you weren't so proud of yourself, you'd realize that the Auburn store on Grant Ave. consolidated the business to their other Auburn location near Fingerlakes Mall.
For real? I went to Yavapai. Their soccer program is unmatched. That is sad to hear if true.
Just like in Raising Arizona.
Would you buy furniture from a place called Unpainted Huffhines?
The landscaping at Carrier is horrible looking. They can't even get grass to grow nice. There are rocks for soil and no one has mowed the already growing weeds.
Playing some tough away games next year. I like it.
If that's the case, then there's no sense in getting fired up about who we're recruiting and who we're not recruiting. It's obvious we'll never have a shot to win a national championship along with 80 other schools.
Boycott college football.
The median household income is not $66K. It's more like $35K. Major error there. The reasons housing is affordable is because most homes are small and in desperate need of repair/remodeling and the taxes are through the roof. What a joke.
Boycott college football.
When you don't have a brain, blame the President.
Facebook is gay
Gimme a break. We aren't nation building anymore. Just because our ancestors were immigrants doesn't mean we need an open system into this country into perpetuity for the poor. This is a country, not a lifeboat. We have plenty of towels, thanks.
lips and a**holes!
She's naked, so automatically she must have mental disorders. America is so uptight.
5 down, several to go.

American Idol: Where Are They Now? Season 11's Jessica Sanchez
American Idol 2013 runner-up Jessica Sanchez may have officially lost out to Phillip Phillips, but she was still the winner of Season 11 to her legion of fans.
Many fans and critics alike pegged this pint-sized singer as the one who would end American Idol's streak of WGWGs. But majority ruled, and Jessica was ultimately named the runner up to Phillip Phillips during the nail-biting American Idol Season 11 finale.
Judging from what she's been up to lately, we have a hard time thinking Idol will be Jessica's career swan song. She's already slated to have a meaty multi-episode arc on the hit show Glee, and her debut album will drop in Spring 2013.
So far, things are looking bright for Jessica in 2013!

ShelterBox founder Tom Henderson vows to fight back in charity row
Posted: November 23, 2012|
Defiant ShelterBox founder Tom Henderson has said the gloves are off in a fight back against the charity which sacked him for gross misconduct.
Breaking his silence, the former charity boss said he would not flinch from a promise made to his wife, Jane, who died within a day of his dismissal.
He also revealed plans to launch a new disaster relief venture which has already won support from former ShelterBox affiliates.
Last week, ShelterBox said their chief executive of 12 years was ousted for failing to explain a potential conflict of interest with a business his son was thought to have been involved in.
But Mr Henderson dismissed their version of events saying he believed they simply wanted him out.
"In my 12 years, I had nothing but the interests of ShelterBox at heart," he said.
"I don't feel bitter about what has happened, but I do feel disappointed because the people I thought I knew have taken this course of action.
"I'm also anxious. I have friends and colleagues who I have known for years and they have become part of this collateral damage."
Mr Henderson, who lives just a few hundred metres from the Helston headquarters of the charity he founded, was sacked on July 24.
After months of speculation, ShelterBox last week disclosed a serious incident report they submitted to the Charity Commission the following month. The investigation centred on a possible conflict of interest between Mr Henderson's son, John, and a business they believed he was involved in which they said was being lined up for a £650,000 order.
The report said Mr Henderson was putting "more pressure than usual" for the order to be placed and was reluctant to explain any potential conflict of interest.
However, Mr Henderson rejected that interpretation saying the fact of the matter was the order had never been placed.
"This was a 'serious incident' which never (actually) happened," he said.
"I have never placed an order or sent a cheque."
Mr Henderson said the 'plan' would have been assessed by "gatekeepers," or administrators, at the charity who would decide whether items were needed or affordable.
He added that his son had designed tools for the company in question, although at the time he was unaware of this. He said his son was the brains behind numerous designs, including some for ShelterBox which had been independently assessed as being the best value for the job and were purchased at cost price.
The former Royal Navy diver paid tribute to his family and hundreds of supporters around the globe, saying they had helped him through one of the most difficult times of his life.
Mr Henderson vowed to fight on, saying he had made a solemn promise to his wife, Jane, who died suddenly within a day of his dismissal.
"I light a candle to her every day," he said. "I do have a duty of care to donors, but also to those who serve and the 1.5 million people we have helped and the people we want to help.
"But I am on autopilot. That's how I get through the day. We were together for 43 years."
He admitted to an occasional "fleeting moment" of considering throwing the towel in. "But I promised Jane the work we had started would be carried on and if you know me you know I am seriously determined."
Next month will see the launch of a new charitable venture, an aspect of which is likely to be named the Jane Henderson Foundation.
At present, Mr Henderson is tight lipped about the charity but said it will address disaster relief and ongoing need.
A spokeswoman for ShelterBox said trustees were compelled to act.
"This matter has been an unwelcome distraction at a time when ShelterBox has never been busier bringing much needed aid to people in desperate need through man-made or natural disaster," she said.
"The board of trustees worked with Mr Henderson for months to resolve issues around his capability and conduct and, unable to reach resolution, unanimously agreed that he could no longer remain as CEO.
"The trustees are bound by UK law to protect the charity and lost trust and confidence in Mr Henderson when he remained unwilling or unable to explain the nature of the £650,000 order."

Santa Barbara wildfire at 95 percent containment
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - A 8,733-acre fire that destroyed 80 homes and forced 30,500 people from their homes was reported 95 percent contained early Friday.
The last mandatory evacuation orders were lifted Thursday after an overnight round of winds that gusted up to 65 mph caused no problems.
"The firebreaks were wind-tested and survived," said William Boyer, spokesman for Santa Barbara County. "Everything is OK."
Firefighters had feared the winds would push remnants of the fire into an area northeast of the city and threaten 45 properties. The National Weather Service said the winds calmed down by 7 a.m.
Fire Capt. David Sadecki said only a few hotspots remained but the last percent would be difficult to contain because of the steepness of the terrain in the Santa Ynez Mountains.
The lifted mandatory evacuation order affected about 100 residents, the last of 30,500 forced from their homes at the height of the 11-day-old blaze. Authorities also lifted all evacuation warnings, a lesser alert that allows people to remain in homes but be ready to leave.
The fire started on May 5 and over several days was fanned by the area's notorious "sundowner" winds. Flames destroyed 80 homes, damaged 15 and injured 29 firefighters. The fire was then suppressed by days of calm, foggy weather.
